[Form 4] Enterprise Bancorp Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Enterprise Bancorp Inc. (EBTC) – Form 4 filed 1 July 2025

Director Normand E. Deschene reports the disposition of all 23,257 shares of Enterprise common stock he beneficially owned. The transaction occurred automatically at the closing of the previously announced merger between Enterprise Bancorp and Independent Bank Corp.

Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated 8 Dec 2024, each Enterprise share was converted into the right to receive $2.00 in cash plus 0.60 shares of Independent Bank Corp. common stock. Consequently, Deschene’s post-transaction EBTC holding is 0 shares (Transaction Code “D”).

All unvested restricted stock vested immediately at the merger’s effective time and was included in the exchange. No derivative securities were reported, and no separate price per share is shown because consideration was cash-and-stock rather than an open-market sale.

The filing confirms that the merger became effective on 1 July 2025, completing the conversion of Enterprise equity into the specified mix of cash and Independent Bank shares.

Positive

• Merger consideration finalized: each EBTC share converted into $2.00 cash plus 0.60 Independent Bank Corp. shares, providing liquidity and ongoing upside potential.

Negative

• Standalone EBTC equity eliminated: insider’s holdings reduced to zero, reflecting the end of EBTC as an independent public company.

Insights

M&A Specialist

TL;DR – Filing confirms merger close; EBTC shares converted to cash + Independent stock, eliminating insider’s position.

This Form 4 is procedural but material: it evidences the legal consummation of the Enterprise-Independent merger. The director’s 23,257 shares have been exchanged for the agreed consideration of $2 cash and 0.60 Independent Bank Corp. shares per EBTC share, bringing his EBTC ownership to zero. Investors now look to the value of the Independent shares received and any post-merger integration synergies. No red flags are indicated; the automatic vesting of restricted stock is standard in change-of-control transactions.
