Context
This is a routine vesting of equity compensation (GSUs) with the company withholding shares to cover tax liabilities — a common administrative step that does not indicate a market-driven sale or purchase decision by the insider. Transaction codes: C = conversion of derivative security (GSU → share); F = shares withheld to satisfy tax liability.
