Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Banner Corp executive Jill M. Rice received equity awards and had shares withheld for taxes. On April 1, 2026, she was granted 2,155 restricted stock units under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan that vest in equal parts over three years beginning April 1, 2026. She also received 3,232 performance-based restricted stock units tied to corporate and individual goals for the period from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. Footnotes state each unit converts into one share on vesting and is subject to forfeiture and transfer limits until then.

To cover tax obligations on the vesting of earlier restricted stock grants, 318 and 254 shares were relinquished, both treated as tax-withholding dispositions rather than market sales. After these transactions, Rice held 29,456 shares of Banner Corp common stock directly and 336 shares indirectly through a 401(k) plan.

restricted stock unit financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock upon vesting."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"Represents award pursuant to 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan; shares vest ratably over a three-year period."
performance goals financial
"subject to the achievement of specified corporate and individual performance goals over a period that began on January 1, 2026 and ends on December 31, 2028."
Performance goals are specific, measurable targets a company sets for financial results, operational milestones, or individual roles—examples include revenue, profit, production levels, or completion of a project. They matter to investors because meeting or missing these targets influences management pay, future forecasts, deal-related payments and market confidence; think of them as a scoreboard that helps outsiders judge whether the business is performing as promised.
tax obligations financial
"Shares relinquished to cover tax obligations on vesting of 807 shares of restricted stock pursuant to 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan."
401(k) Plan financial
"nature_of_ownership: By 401(k) Plan"
A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.
forfeiture financial
"These restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture and to limits on transferability until they vest."
