Context
- These were restricted stock awards (A = award/grant), not open-market purchases. Restricted shares are subject to service and/or performance vesting, so they are not immediately freely tradable until vesting conditions are met.
- The F-code (tax withholding) entries represent a routine cashless withholding/surrender of shares to satisfy taxes on the vesting event.
- Gift (G) entries typically reflect transfers and do not imply a buy/sell signal.
