CoastalSouth Bancshares reported that director Ernst W. Bruderer received a grant of 868 restricted stock units on 02/11/2026. This is an equity award, not an open-market stock purchase or sale, and is recorded as a derivative security acquisition.

How many restricted stock units were granted to director Ernst W. Bruderer at COSO?

Ernst W. Bruderer was granted 868 restricted stock units. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of CoastalSouth Bancshares common stock, subject to vesting conditions, providing stock-based compensation that can align his interests with other shareholders over time.

When do Ernst W. Bruderer’s CoastalSouth Bancshares RSUs vest?

The RSU grant is classified as an acquisition of a derivative security, coded as a grant, award, or other acquisition. It is not an open-market stock purchase or sale, but a compensation-related equity award provided by CoastalSouth Bancshares to its director.
