Is this a Toeplitz matrix?

In my control system course, I have encountered the concept of state space representations. I have encountered this matrix : $$ \mathbf{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1&0&\cdots&0\\ 0&0&1&\cdots&0\\ \vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\ -a_{n}&-a_{n-1}&-a_{n-2}&\cdots&-a_{1} \end{bmatrix} $$ I was wondering if this matrix is some version of the Toeplitz matrix. Furthermore, I was wondering if it has some special properties regarding its eigenvalues since there's an assertion that the poles of the transfer function are identical to the eigenvalues of $A$
