Donegal Group Inc. (DGICA) – Form 4 insider transaction

Senior Vice-President & Chief Risk Officer Christina Marie Hoffman purchased 92 shares of the company’s Class A common stock on 01 July 2025 through the company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Code J) at a price of $14.144 per share. Following the purchase, Ms. Hoffman directly owns 4,497 shares. No derivative transactions were reported.

The filing reflects routine participation in an employee stock plan rather than an open-market buy, representing an outlay of approximately $1.3 thousand. While the volume is modest relative to Donegal’s average daily trading volume and executive holdings, insider purchases—even small and plan-based—can be interpreted as a signal of confidence when viewed alongside broader insider activity trends.

Donegal Group Inc. (DGICA) – Transazione interna Form 4

La Senior Vice-President e Chief Risk Officer Christina Marie Hoffman ha acquistato 92 azioni delle azioni ordinarie di Classe A della società il 01 luglio 2025 tramite il Piano di Acquisto Azionario per Dipendenti (Codice J) della società, al prezzo di $14,144 per azione. Dopo l'acquisto, la signora Hoffman detiene direttamente 4.497 azioni. Non sono state segnalate transazioni su strumenti derivati.

La comunicazione riflette una partecipazione ordinaria a un piano azionario per dipendenti piuttosto che un acquisto sul mercato aperto, con una spesa di circa $1,3 mila. Sebbene il volume sia modesto rispetto al volume medio giornaliero di negoziazione di Donegal e alle partecipazioni degli executive, gli acquisti da parte degli insider—anche se piccoli e basati su piani—possono essere interpretati come un segnale di fiducia se considerati nel contesto delle tendenze più ampie delle attività interne.

La Vicepresidenta Senior y Directora de Riesgos, Christina Marie Hoffman, compró 92 acciones de las acciones comunes Clase A de la compañía el 01 de julio de 2025 a través del Plan de Compra de Acciones para Empleados (Código J) de la empresa, a un precio de $14.144 por acción. Tras la compra, la Sra. Hoffman posee directamente 4,497 acciones. No se reportaron transacciones con derivados.

La presentación refleja una participación rutinaria en un plan de acciones para empleados en lugar de una compra en el mercado abierto, representando un desembolso aproximado de $1.3 mil. Aunque el volumen es modesto en comparación con el volumen diario promedio de negociación de Donegal y las tenencias ejecutivas, las compras internas—aunque pequeñas y basadas en planes—pueden interpretarse como una señal de confianza cuando se consideran junto con las tendencias más amplias de la actividad interna.

Donegal Group Inc. (DGICA) – Form 4 내부자 거래

수석 부사장 겸 최고 위험 관리 책임자 크리스티나 마리 호프만2025년 7월 1일 회사의 직원 주식 구매 계획(Code J)을 통해 회사의 클래스 A 보통주 92주를 주당 $14.144에 매수했습니다. 매수 후 호프만 씨는 직접 4,497주를 보유하고 있습니다. 파생상품 거래는 보고되지 않았습니다.

이번 신고는 공개 시장에서의 매수가 아닌 직원 주식 계획에 따른 일상적인 참여를 반영하며, 약 $1.3천의 지출을 의미합니다. 거래량은 Donegal의 평균 일일 거래량 및 임원 보유 주식에 비해 적은 편이지만, 내부자의 매수는 규모가 작고 계획 기반이라도 내부자 활동의 전반적인 추세와 함께 볼 때 신뢰의 신호로 해석될 수 있습니다.

Donegal Group Inc. (DGICA) – Transaction d’initié Formulaire 4

La Vice-Présidente Senior et Directrice des Risques, Christina Marie Hoffman, a acheté 92 actions des actions ordinaires de Classe A de la société le 1er juillet 2025 via le Plan d’Achat d’Actions des Employés (Code J) de l’entreprise, au prix de 14,144 $ par action. Après cet achat, Mme Hoffman possède directement 4 497 actions. Aucune transaction sur dérivés n’a été signalée.

Cette déclaration reflète une participation habituelle à un plan d’actionnariat salarié plutôt qu’un achat sur le marché ouvert, représentant une dépense d’environ 1,3 mille dollars. Bien que le volume soit modeste par rapport au volume moyen quotidien de négociation de Donegal et aux avoirs des dirigeants, les achats d’initiés—même petits et liés à un plan—peuvent être interprétés comme un signe de confiance lorsqu’ils sont considérés dans le contexte plus large des tendances d’activité des initiés.

Donegal Group Inc. (DGICA) – Insider-Transaktion Form 4

Senior Vice President & Chief Risk Officer Christina Marie Hoffman erwarb am 01. Juli 2025 über den Mitarbeiter-Aktienkaufplan (Code J) des Unternehmens 92 Aktien der Klasse A Stammaktien zum Preis von 14,144 $ pro Aktie. Nach dem Kauf besitzt Frau Hoffman direkt 4.497 Aktien. Es wurden keine Derivatgeschäfte gemeldet.

Die Meldung spiegelt eine routinemäßige Teilnahme an einem Mitarbeiteraktienplan wider und nicht einen Kauf am offenen Markt, was einen Aufwand von etwa 1,3 Tausend $ bedeutet. Obwohl das Volumen im Vergleich zum durchschnittlichen täglichen Handelsvolumen von Donegal und den Beteiligungen der Führungskräfte gering ist, können Insider-Käufe – auch wenn sie klein und planbasiert sind – als Vertrauenssignal interpretiert werden, wenn sie im Kontext der breiteren Insider-Aktivität betrachtet werden.

Positive
  • Insider purchase: Senior executive acquired 92 Class A shares, signaling continued personal investment in Donegal Group.
  • No insider sales reported: Filing shows only acquisitions, which can be viewed favorably by shareholders.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Small plan-based insider buy; mildly positive but not market-moving.

The acquisition adds only 92 shares, lifting the executive’s direct holding to 4,497 shares. Given the transaction is through the ESPP (Code J), pricing is formula-driven and not necessarily a discretionary vote of confidence. The dollar value is de-minimis versus Donegal Group’s market cap, so I view the impact on valuation as neutral-to-slightly positive. Investors may note continued participation in equity programs, but I would not expect trading momentum from this filing alone.

TL;DR: Routine ESPP participation supports alignment; governance impact positive.

Regular share accumulation via employee plans helps align management incentives with shareholders. Although small, the purchase demonstrates ongoing ownership growth by a key risk officer. No sales or derivative disposals accompany the filing, reducing concern over short-term profit taking. From a governance standpoint, this is a low-impact but positive disclosure.
