FAQ

What insider transactions did CNOB Bank President Elizabeth Magennis report?

Elizabeth Magennis reported compensation-related stock activity in ConnectOne Bancorp common shares. She received earned performance-based shares, a new deferred stock unit grant, and had a portion of the performance shares withheld to cover tax obligations, with all transactions dated March 25, 2026.

How many CNOB shares were granted to Elizabeth Magennis in this Form 4?

She acquired 5,548 common shares from earned performance units and received a separate grant of 12,642 deferred stock units. These awards reflect equity compensation rather than open-market purchases, increasing her direct equity exposure to ConnectOne Bancorp through stock-based incentives.

What was the purpose of the 2,774 CNOB shares disposed of in this filing?

The 2,774 common shares were withheld by the company to satisfy tax obligations on the earned performance unit award. This tax-withholding disposition, priced at $26.27 per share, is not an open-market sale and does not represent a discretionary stock trade by the insider.

How do the new deferred stock units for CNOB vest for Elizabeth Magennis?

The 12,642 deferred stock units are subject to forfeiture and vest over three years. One-third vests on March 25, 2027, another third on March 25, 2028, and the final third on March 25, 2029, aligning incentives over a multi-year period.

What is Elizabeth Magennis’s CNOB common stock holding after these transactions?

After the reported grants and tax withholding, Elizabeth Magennis directly holds 144,283 shares of ConnectOne Bancorp common stock. This figure reflects her updated ownership position following the equity compensation awards and related tax-share withholding reported in the Form 4.

Were any of the CNOB insider transactions open-market buys or sells?

No, the filing shows no open-market purchases or sales. The acquisitions are grants or earned awards of common stock and deferred stock units, and the only share disposition is a tax-withholding transaction, where shares are withheld by the issuer to cover tax liabilities.
