Context
This was a standard vesting and tax-withholding event for restricted stock units (performance and time-based), not a market sale or exercise of options. Withholding of shares to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. Transaction codes: A = Award/Acquisition, F = Withholding to cover taxes.
