Context

• Tax withholding of vested RSUs is a routine administrative event: the company retains shares to cover required taxes rather than the insider selling shares on the open market. Such transactions typically do not signal a change in insider sentiment about the company. Code F indicates shares were withheld for tax purposes rather than sold by the insider.
