Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Waterstone Financial (WSBF) – Form 4 insider activity. Director Michael L. Hansen reported four open-market sales on 24-25 Jul 2025, totalling 37,426 common shares. The largest block (36,465 shares) cleared at a weighted-average $13.8339 within a $13.80-$14.11 range; three smaller trades (961 shares) priced between $13.805 and $13.82. Estimated gross proceeds are roughly $0.52 million.

After these transactions, the trust’s stake declined to 149,115 shares. A separate line lists 79,872 shares held directly, implying Hansen still controls about 229 k shares overall, though the filing does not consolidate the positions.

No derivative securities were involved. While the sales represent roughly 20 % of the trust’s prior holdings, Hansen remains a board member with a sizeable investment, limiting long-term signalling impact.

Waterstone Financial (WSBF) – Attività insider Form 4. Il direttore Michael L. Hansen ha comunicato quattro vendite sul mercato aperto tra il 24 e il 25 luglio 2025, per un totale di 37.426 azioni ordinarie. Il blocco più grande (36.465 azioni) è stato venduto a un prezzo medio ponderato di 13,8339 $, all'interno di un intervallo compreso tra 13,80 $ e 14,11 $; tre transazioni più piccole (961 azioni) sono state effettuate a prezzi tra 13,805 $ e 13,82 $. I proventi lordi stimati sono circa 0,52 milioni di dollari.

Dopo queste operazioni, la quota del trust è scesa a 149.115 azioni. Una voce separata indica 79.872 azioni detenute direttamente, il che implica che Hansen controlla ancora circa 229 mila azioni in totale, anche se la dichiarazione non consolida queste posizioni.

Non sono stati coinvolti strumenti derivati. Sebbene le vendite rappresentino circa il 20% delle precedenti partecipazioni del trust, Hansen rimane un membro del consiglio con un investimento consistente, limitando l'impatto a lungo termine del segnale.

Waterstone Financial (WSBF) – Actividad insider Formulario 4. El director Michael L. Hansen reportó cuatro ventas en el mercado abierto entre el 24 y el 25 de julio de 2025, totalizando 37,426 acciones ordinarias. El bloque más grande (36,465 acciones) se negoció a un precio promedio ponderado de $13.8339, dentro de un rango de $13.80 a $14.11; tres operaciones más pequeñas (961 acciones) se realizaron entre $13.805 y $13.82. Los ingresos brutos estimados son aproximadamente $0.52 millones.

Tras estas transacciones, la participación del fideicomiso disminuyó a 149,115 acciones. Una línea separada indica 79,872 acciones en posesión directa, lo que implica que Hansen aún controla alrededor de 229 mil acciones en total, aunque la presentación no consolida estas posiciones.

No se involucraron valores derivados. Aunque las ventas representan aproximadamente el 20 % de las tenencias previas del fideicomiso, Hansen sigue siendo miembro de la junta con una inversión considerable, lo que limita el impacto de señalización a largo plazo.

워터스톤 파이낸셜 (WSBF) – Form 4 내부자 거래 내역. 이사 마이클 L. 한센은 2025년 7월 24일부터 25일까지 공개시장에서 총 37,426주의 보통주를 매도했다고 보고했습니다. 가장 큰 블록(36,465주)은 $13.80~$14.11 범위 내에서 가중평균 가격 $13.8339에 체결되었으며, 세 건의 소규모 거래(961주)는 $13.805에서 $13.82 사이에 가격이 형성되었습니다. 추정 총 수익은 약 $0.52백만입니다.

이 거래 이후 신탁 지분은 149,115주로 감소했습니다. 별도의 항목에는 직접 보유한 79,872주가 기재되어 있어, 한센은 총 약 22.9만 주를 여전히 통제하고 있는 것으로 보이나, 신고서에는 이 두 위치가 통합되어 있지 않습니다.

파생상품 증권은 포함되지 않았습니다. 매도는 신탁의 이전 보유 지분 약 20%에 해당하지만, 한센은 여전히 이사회 멤버로 상당한 투자를 유지하고 있어 장기적인 신호 영향은 제한적입니다.

Waterstone Financial (WSBF) – Activité des initiés selon le Formulaire 4. Le directeur Michael L. Hansen a déclaré quatre ventes sur le marché ouvert les 24 et 25 juillet 2025, totalisant 37 426 actions ordinaires. Le plus gros lot (36 465 actions) a été vendu à un prix moyen pondéré de 13,8339 $ dans une fourchette de 13,80 $ à 14,11 $ ; trois petites transactions (961 actions) ont été réalisées entre 13,805 $ et 13,82 $. Le produit brut estimé s'élève à environ 0,52 million de dollars.

Après ces opérations, la part du trust a diminué à 149 115 actions. Une ligne distincte indique 79 872 actions détenues directement, ce qui implique que Hansen contrôle toujours environ 229 000 actions au total, bien que le dépôt ne consolide pas ces positions.

Aucun titre dérivé n'a été impliqué. Bien que les ventes représentent environ 20 % des avoirs précédents du trust, Hansen reste membre du conseil avec un investissement important, limitant ainsi l'impact à long terme du signal envoyé.

Waterstone Financial (WSBF) – Insider-Aktivitäten gemäß Form 4. Direktor Michael L. Hansen meldete vier Verkäufe am offenen Markt vom 24. bis 25. Juli 2025, insgesamt 37.426 Stammaktien. Der größte Block (36.465 Aktien) wurde zu einem gewichteten Durchschnittspreis von 13,8339 $ innerhalb einer Spanne von 13,80 $ bis 14,11 $ ausgeführt; drei kleinere Transaktionen (961 Aktien) lagen zwischen 13,805 $ und 13,82 $. Die geschätzten Bruttoerlöse betragen etwa 0,52 Millionen Dollar.

Nach diesen Transaktionen sank der Anteil des Trusts auf 149.115 Aktien. Eine separate Position listet 79.872 direkt gehaltene Aktien auf, was darauf hindeutet, dass Hansen insgesamt etwa 229.000 Aktien kontrolliert, obwohl die Meldung diese Positionen nicht konsolidiert.

Es wurden keine Derivate eingesetzt. Obwohl die Verkäufe etwa 20 % der vorherigen Trust-Beteiligungen ausmachen, bleibt Hansen Vorstandsmitglied mit einer bedeutenden Investition, was die langfristige Signalwirkung begrenzt.

Positive
  • Insider retains a substantial position (≈229 k shares), indicating continued alignment with minority shareholders and confidence in Waterstone Financial's prospects.
Negative
  • Director sold 37,426 shares (≈$0.52 M), trimming the trust’s stake by roughly 20 %, which may be perceived as a mild bearish signal.

Insights

TL;DR: Director sold ~37k WSBF shares for $0.52 M; still owns sizable stake, modest negative sentiment.

The sale reduces indirect holdings by about one-fifth and could be read as a mild bearish signal, especially given regional-bank headwinds. However, Hansen retains nearly 149 k trust shares plus 79 k directly, so alignment with shareholders remains. Trade size is small versus WSBF’s ~28 M share float and should not materially affect liquidity or control.

TL;DR: Routine Form 4; no derivatives; insider still holds >200k shares—neutral governance impact.

The filing appears compliant with Section 16 reporting requirements. Lack of derivative instruments and continued substantial ownership suggest no aggressive de-risking or complex structuring. Timing near quarter-end could be personal liquidity rather than strategic. Overall governance implications are limited.
