What Happened
Christopher S.

Context
Code F transactions are routine tax-withholding events when restricted awards vest and the company withholds shares instead of the insider selling shares on the open market. Because this was a withholding to cover taxes (not a cash sale), it does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
