SANTAROSA ROMOLO 4

Context

• Code F typically reflects withholding of shares to cover taxes or exercise costs (often after an option exercise or restricted stock vesting). Those withheld shares are not sold on the open market, so this action is largely procedural and generally less informative about the insider’s view of the company than an open-market purchase or sale.
