Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co. (HBB) – Form 4 insider filing

Director Thomas T. Rankin reported the award of 1,610 Class A common shares on 07/01/2025 under the company’s Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan (transaction code A). The shares were credited to a trust for which he serves as trustee, bringing that trust’s stake to 185,075 shares. No open-market purchases or sales were recorded and no derivative transactions were reported.

Including various family and estate trusts, Rankin now reports indirect beneficial ownership of several additional blocks (6,444 shares held by spouse; three trusts of 780 shares each; 5,322 shares held for an estate). The filing contains no changes to these balances and Rankin disclaims beneficial ownership of them.

The transaction represents a routine equity compensation grant amounting to less than 0.02% of HBB’s ~13 million shares outstanding and therefore has minimal immediate market impact. Nonetheless, it modestly increases director equity alignment without indicating any bearish sentiment.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co. (HBB) – Comunicazione interna Form 4

Il direttore Thomas T. Rankin ha segnalato l’assegnazione di 1.610 azioni ordinarie di Classe A in data 01/07/2025 nell’ambito del Piano di Compensazione Azionaria per Direttori Non Dipendenti della società (codice transazione A). Le azioni sono state accreditate a un trust di cui è fiduciario, portando la partecipazione di tale trust a 185.075 azioni. Non sono stati registrati acquisti o vendite sul mercato aperto né transazioni su strumenti derivati.

Considerando vari trust familiari e testamentari, Rankin segnala ora la titolarità indiretta di ulteriori blocchi azionari (6.444 azioni detenute dal coniuge; tre trust da 780 azioni ciascuno; 5.322 azioni detenute per un patrimonio). La comunicazione non riporta variazioni di questi saldi e Rankin nega la titolarità effettiva su di essi.

La transazione rappresenta una normale assegnazione di compensi azionari, pari a meno dello 0,02% delle circa 13 milioni di azioni in circolazione di HBB, e pertanto ha un impatto di mercato immediato minimo. Tuttavia, aumenta leggermente l’allineamento azionario del direttore senza indicare alcun segnale ribassista.

El director Thomas T. Rankin informó la concesión de 1,610 acciones ordinarias Clase A el 01/07/2025 bajo el Plan de Compensación de Acciones para Directores No Empleados de la compañía (código de transacción A). Las acciones fueron acreditadas a un fideicomiso del cual es fiduciario, elevando la participación de dicho fideicomiso a 185,075 acciones. No se registraron compras o ventas en el mercado abierto ni transacciones con derivados.

Incluyendo varios fideicomisos familiares y testamentarios, Rankin ahora reporta la propiedad indirecta de varios bloques adicionales (6,444 acciones en manos de su cónyuge; tres fideicomisos de 780 acciones cada uno; 5,322 acciones mantenidas para una herencia). La presentación no contiene cambios en estos saldos y Rankin renuncia a la propiedad beneficiaria de los mismos.

La transacción representa una concesión rutinaria de compensación accionaria que equivale a menos del 0.02% de las aproximadamente 13 millones de acciones en circulación de HBB, por lo que tiene un impacto mínimo inmediato en el mercado. No obstante, incrementa modestamente la alineación accionaria del director sin indicar ningún sentimiento bajista.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co. (HBB) – 내부자 신고서 Form 4

이사 Thomas T. Rankin은 2025년 7월 1일 회사의 비직원 이사 주식 보상 계획에 따라 1,610주 클래스 A 보통주 수여를 보고했습니다(거래 코드 A). 해당 주식은 그가 수탁자로 있는 신탁에 입금되어 신탁의 지분이 185,075주가 되었습니다. 공개 시장에서의 매매나 파생상품 거래는 보고되지 않았습니다.

여러 가족 및 유산 신탁을 포함하여, Rankin은 이제 추가로 여러 지분(배우자가 보유한 6,444주; 각각 780주인 세 개의 신탁; 유산을 위해 보유한 5,322주)에 대한 간접적 실질 소유권을 보고합니다. 이 신고서에는 해당 잔액에 대한 변경 사항이 없으며 Rankin은 이들에 대한 실질 소유권을 부인합니다.

이번 거래는 HBB의 약 1,300만 주 유통 주식의 0.02% 미만에 해당하는 일상적인 주식 보상 수여로 즉각적인 시장 영향은 미미합니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이사는 주식 보유를 소폭 늘려 부정적 신호는 나타내지 않습니다.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co. (HBB) – Déclaration d’initié Formulaire 4

Le directeur Thomas T. Rankin a déclaré l’attribution de 1 610 actions ordinaires de Classe A le 01/07/2025 dans le cadre du Plan de rémunération en actions pour administrateurs non salariés de la société (code transaction A). Les actions ont été créditées à une fiducie dont il est le fiduciaire, portant la participation de cette fiducie à 185 075 actions. Aucune transaction d’achat ou de vente sur le marché ouvert ni d’opérations sur dérivés n’a été enregistrée.

En incluant divers trusts familiaux et successoraux, Rankin déclare désormais une propriété bénéficiaire indirecte de plusieurs blocs supplémentaires (6 444 actions détenues par son conjoint ; trois trusts de 780 actions chacun ; 5 322 actions détenues pour une succession). La déclaration ne contient aucun changement concernant ces soldes et Rankin décline toute propriété bénéficiaire sur ceux-ci.

Cette transaction représente une attribution de rémunération en actions habituelle, représentant moins de 0,02 % des quelque 13 millions d’actions en circulation de HBB, et a donc un impact immédiat minimal sur le marché. Néanmoins, elle augmente modestement l’alignement en actions du directeur sans indiquer de sentiment baissier.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co. (HBB) – Insider-Meldung Form 4

Direktor Thomas T. Rankin meldete die Zuteilung von 1.610 Class A Stammaktien am 01.07.2025 im Rahmen des Aktienvergütungsplans für nicht angestellte Direktoren des Unternehmens (Transaktionscode A). Die Aktien wurden einem Treuhandfonds gutgeschrieben, bei dem er als Treuhänder fungiert, wodurch der Anteil dieses Treuhandfonds auf 185.075 Aktien steigt. Es wurden keine Käufe oder Verkäufe am offenen Markt und keine Derivatgeschäfte gemeldet.

Unter Einbeziehung verschiedener Familien- und Nachlass-Treuhandfonds meldet Rankin nun die indirekte wirtschaftliche Eigentümerschaft an mehreren weiteren Blöcken (6.444 Aktien im Besitz des Ehepartners; drei Treuhandfonds mit je 780 Aktien; 5.322 Aktien für einen Nachlass gehalten). Die Meldung enthält keine Änderungen dieser Bestände, und Rankin bestreitet die wirtschaftliche Eigentümerschaft daran.

Die Transaktion stellt eine routinemäßige Aktienvergütung dar, die weniger als 0,02 % der rund 13 Millionen ausstehenden HBB-Aktien ausmacht und daher kaum unmittelbare Marktwirkung hat. Dennoch erhöht sie die Aktienausrichtung des Direktors leicht, ohne eine negative Markterwartung zu signalisieren.

Positive
  • Director increased indirect ownership by 1,610 shares, modestly strengthening insider alignment with shareholders.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR – Routine director share award; negligible ownership change, neutral signal.

The Form 4 shows a non-market acquisition of 1,610 shares by Director Thomas T. Rankin via the non-employee director plan. Post-transaction indirect holdings in the relevant trust rise to 185,075 shares, but overall economic exposure remains largely unchanged. No sales occurred, and other trust and spousal positions were simply reiterated. Because the shares were granted—not purchased on the open market—the filing conveys limited incremental conviction. From a governance perspective, the award maintains board-shareholder alignment. Financially, the stake size is immaterial relative to HBB’s float and should not affect liquidity, valuation multiples, or earnings per share. I view the disclosure as neutral for the stock.
