• Transaction type/code: F — shares withheld to cover tax withholding on vested RSUs.

Context

• This is a routine net settlement/tax-withholding event tied to RSU vesting, not a discretionary market sale or purchase. Such withholdings are common when equity awards vest and generally reflect tax obligations rather than a trading decision.
• For retail investors, net settlements typically carry less informational weight about insiders’ sentiment than outright open-market purchases or sales.
