tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition", "transaction_code_description": "Payment of exercise price or tax liability"

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

grant, award, or other acquisition financial

"transaction_code_description": "Grant, award, or other acquisition""

401(k) financial

"nature_of_ownership": "by 401(k)""

A 401(k) is a type of retirement savings plan offered by employers that allows workers to set aside a portion of their paycheck before taxes are taken out. The money saved in a 401(k) can grow over time through investments, helping individuals build funds for their future retirement. It matters to investors because it provides a tax-advantaged way to save and invest for long-term financial security.

He reported routine equity compensation activity, including a grant of 2,339 BAR HARBOR BANKSHARES (BHB) common shares tied to performance-based vesting and a related tax-withholding disposition.

How many BHB shares did John Mogan Williams acquire in this transaction?

He acquired 2,339 shares of BAR HARBOR BANKSHARES common stock at no cost when performance-based vesting criteria were met on April 23, 2026. This grant increased his direct ownership stake before accounting for shares withheld for taxes in a separate transaction.

What is the significance of the 1,811 BHB shares with transaction code F?

The 1,811 BAR HARBOR BANKSHARES shares with code F were withheld to satisfy tax liabilities related to the vesting event at $34.38 per share. This tax-withholding disposition is not an open-market sale and does not represent discretionary selling by the executive.

How many BHB shares does John Mogan Williams own after these Form 4 transactions?

Following the reported transactions, he directly owns 19,533.692 shares of BAR HARBOR BANKSHARES common stock and indirectly holds 4,340.610 shares through a 401(k) plan. These figures show his total reported exposure after the vesting and tax-withholding events.

Yes. The 2,339 newly acquired BAR HARBOR BANKSHARES shares were received when performance-based vesting criteria were satisfied on April 23, 2026. The footnote explains that these shares were issued upon settlement after the company’s performance targets were achieved.

Does this BHB Form 4 show any open-market buying or selling by the executive?

No. The filing shows a performance-based share grant and a tax-withholding disposition, not open-market trades. The tax transaction used company shares to cover obligations, so it should not be interpreted as discretionary buying or selling of BHB stock by the executive.
