Insights

Catalyst Bancorp CFO reports routine equity awards and tax withholding.

The disclosure shows Jacques L.J. Bourque receiving 1,000 restricted shares and options on 2,000 shares at $15.96 per share, alongside a 131-share tax-withholding disposition at $15.96. These are standard compensation and payroll-tax mechanics, not open‑market trades.

Post‑transaction, he directly holds 4,466 common shares and options tied to 11,000 shares across three strike prices expiring between 2032 and 2036. Additional indirect holdings via ESOP, 401(k), and custodial accounts indicate broader exposure but all within benefit and savings plans.

Because there are no open‑market purchases or sales and the net share change is modest relative to his total reported exposure, this filing is best viewed as routine equity compensation reporting rather than a directional signal about the company’s prospects.

2022 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement financial
"Represents the grant of shares pursuant to the Issuer's 2022 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement that vest at 20% per year"
ESOP financial
"Includes shares allocated to the reporting person's account in the ESOP since the last filed Form 4"
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a program that gives employees ownership shares in their company, often as part of their benefits package. It acts like a company-sponsored savings plan, allowing workers to have a stake in the company's success, which can boost motivation and loyalty. For investors, ESOPs can influence company decisions and stock value, making them an important aspect of corporate ownership and governance.
401(k) Plan financial
"Includes shares acquired in the Catalyst Bank 401(k) Plan since the last filed Form 4"
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.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"
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.
