Context
These were award grants (code A) and routine company withholdings (code F) to cover taxes on vesting — not open-market sales. The withholdings are a common, non-market way to pay withholding taxes and should not be read as a typical “insider sale” for liquidity or sentiment. Performance-based awards vested upon Board approval; time-based awards vest over time.
