Context

• Code F typically means shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding from an equity award (e.g., option exercise or RSU vesting). This is a routine, administrative disposition and does not by itself indicate the insider’s view of the company’s stock. Purchases are generally more informative about insider sentiment than routine withholdings.
