Context
This was an award/vesting of performance-based equity with routine tax withholding — not an open-market sale or purchase decision. Code A denotes an acquisition via grant/vesting; code F indicates shares were surrendered to cover taxes. Such withholding is a standard administrative step and does not by itself signal insider buying or selling intent.
