Context
Code F typically means the company withheld shares to cover taxes from an option exercise or restricted stock vesting. This is a routine, administrative transaction and does not by itself signal bullish or bearish intent. Unlike a public sale, withheld shares are used to meet tax obligations and are common after vesting or exercise events.
