Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB) – Form 4 filing: Director Luis Machuca reported a deferred-compensation related acquisition of 668 phantom stock units on 29 Jul 2025 at a reference price of $24.83 per unit. The transaction, coded “A,” reflects accrual under the company’s non-qualified deferred-compensation plan; it does not involve open-market purchases of common stock.

After the accrual, Machuca’s indirect beneficial interest in phantom stock totals 46,487 units, held in the deferred-compensation account. No changes were reported for non-derivative common shares and no sales occurred. Because phantom units are cash-settled after the director’s service ends, they do not dilute current shareholders but align the director’s future payout with COLB’s share price performance.

Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB) – Deposito del Modulo 4: Il direttore Luis Machuca ha segnalato un'acquisizione relativa alla compensazione differita di 668 unità di azioni fantasma il 29 luglio 2025 a un prezzo di riferimento di 24,83 $ per unità. La transazione, contrassegnata con il codice “A,” riflette l'accantonamento previsto dal piano di compensazione differita non qualificata dell'azienda; non si tratta di acquisti sul mercato aperto di azioni ordinarie.

Dopo questo accantonamento, l'interesse beneficiario indiretto di Machuca nelle azioni fantasma ammonta a 46.487 unità, detenute nel conto di compensazione differita. Non sono stati segnalati cambiamenti per le azioni ordinarie non derivate e non si sono verificate vendite. Poiché le unità fantasma vengono regolate in contanti dopo la cessazione del servizio del direttore, non diluiscono gli azionisti attuali ma allineano il pagamento futuro del direttore alla performance del prezzo delle azioni COLB.

La transacción, codificada como “A,” refleja la acumulación bajo el plan de compensación diferida no calificada de la compañía; no involucra compras en el mercado abierto de acciones comunes.

Tras esta acumulación, el interés beneficiario indirecto de Machuca en acciones fantasma suma 46,487 unidades, mantenidas en la cuenta de compensación diferida. No se reportaron cambios en las acciones comunes no derivadas ni se realizaron ventas. Dado que las unidades fantasma se liquidan en efectivo después de que el director termina su servicio, no diluyen a los accionistas actuales sino que alinean el pago futuro del director con el desempeño del precio de las acciones de COLB.

Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB) – Form 4 제출: 이사 Luis Machuca2025년 7월 29일 기준 가격 단가 668개의 팬텀 주식 단위에 대한 이연 보상 관련 취득을 보고했습니다. “A” 코드로 표시된 이 거래는 회사의 비자격 이연 보상 계획에 따른 적립을 반영하며, 보통주의 공개 시장 매수는 포함하지 않습니다.

적립 후 Machuca의 팬텀 주식 간접 소유 이익은 이연 보상 계좌에 보유된 46,487 단위에 달합니다. 비파생 보통주에 대한 변경 사항은 없었고 매도도 발생하지 않았습니다. 팬텀 단위는 이사의 서비스 종료 후 현금으로 정산되므로 현재 주주들의 지분 희석을 일으키지 않으며 COLB 주가 성과와 이사의 미래 보상을 연동합니다.

Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB) – Dépôt du formulaire 4 : Le directeur Luis Machuca a déclaré une acquisition liée à une rémunération différée de 668 unités d’actions fantômes le 29 juillet 2025 à un prix de référence de 24,83 $ par unité. La transaction, codée « A », reflète une accumulation dans le cadre du plan de rémunération différée non qualifié de la société ; elle n’implique pas d’achats d’actions ordinaires sur le marché libre.

Après cette accumulation, l’intérêt bénéficiaire indirect de Machuca dans les actions fantômes s’élève à 46 487 unités, détenues dans le compte de rémunération différée. Aucun changement n’a été signalé pour les actions ordinaires non dérivées et aucune vente n’a eu lieu. Comme les unités fantômes sont réglées en espèces après la fin du service du directeur, elles ne diluent pas les actionnaires actuels mais alignent la rémunération future du directeur sur la performance du cours de l’action COLB.

Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB) – Form 4 Einreichung: Direktor Luis Machuca meldete am 29. Juli 2025 den Erwerb von 668 Phantom-Aktieneinheiten im Rahmen einer aufgeschobenen Vergütung zu einem Referenzpreis von 24,83 $ pro Einheit. Die Transaktion, codiert mit „A“, spiegelt die Ansammlung im Rahmen des nicht qualifizierten, aufgeschobenen Vergütungsplans des Unternehmens wider; es handelt sich nicht um Käufe von Stammaktien am offenen Markt.

Nach der Ansammlung beläuft sich Machucas indirektes wirtschaftliches Interesse an Phantom-Aktien auf insgesamt 46.487 Einheiten, die im Konto für aufgeschobene Vergütung gehalten werden. Es wurden keine Änderungen bei nicht derivativen Stammaktien gemeldet und keine Verkäufe getätigt. Da Phantom-Einheiten nach Beendigung der Dienstzeit des Direktors in bar ausgeglichen werden, verwässern sie nicht die aktuellen Aktionäre, sondern richten die zukünftige Auszahlung des Direktors an der Kursentwicklung der COLB-Aktie aus.

Positive
  • Director’s equity-linked exposure increases, modestly strengthening pay-for-performance alignment.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine phantom-stock accrual; negligible market impact.

This Form 4 discloses a standard deferred-compensation credit, not an open-market trade. The quantity (668 units) is immaterial versus COLB’s float, and settlement is deferred until Machuca leaves the board, so no immediate dilution or cash outlay occurs. It modestly increases management’s equity-linked exposure, a governance positive, but provides little insight into current valuation or future earnings. Impact: neutral.

TL;DR: Alignment tool, but size too small to sway investors.

Deferred-compensation phantom stock promotes director–shareholder alignment without issuing new shares. The filing confirms compliance with Section 16 and Rule 10b5-1 but reveals no strategic shift or insider sentiment change. Investors should view this as housekeeping.
