Context Tax-withholding (code F) is a routine administrative action when restricted stock vests and does not necessarily indicate buying or selling intent. The underlying restricted shares were granted on 2/8/2023 and vested on 2/8/2026; withholding reduces the insider’s issued share count rather than representing an open-market sale.
