Insights
CEO Herencia exercised expiring stock options, acquiring 214,494 shares while selling 147,362 shares for tax obligations.
Roberto Herencia, CEO and Director of Byline Bancorp, exercised significant stock options just days before their expiration date. On June 23, 2025, Herencia exercised two batches of options to acquire a total of 214,494 shares at the strike price of $11.18 per share. These options were originally exercisable from June 28, 2018, and were set to expire on June 26, 2025 - meaning this exercise occurred just three days before expiration.
Simultaneously, Herencia disposed of 147,362 shares at $25.52 per share through two separate transactions coded as "F" dispositions. This type of transaction typically represents shares surrendered to cover tax withholding obligations from the option exercise, rather than open market sales. The substantial difference between the $11.18 exercise price and the $25.52 disposition price created a taxable event requiring these withholdings.
Following these transactions, Herencia directly owns 393,901 shares of Byline Bancorp common stock, with additional indirect ownership of 16,612 shares through his defined benefit plan and 2,575 shares through his 401(k). Notably, after these exercises, Herencia no longer holds any stock options at the $11.18 strike price, suggesting this was a complete liquidation of this particular option grant before expiration.
