Context

  • These entries are award/grant events (code A) plus a tax-withholding disposition (code F). The RSU purchase at a discount is a purchase-like acquisition and is often viewed as a constructive purchase rather than an open-market buy. The 42-share disposition was for tax withholding and does not reflect a discretionary sell decision by the insider.
