Insights

Insider Transactions Analyst

TL;DR: CFO granted 3,562 shares (~22% more direct stake); compensation, not a market buy—signal is governance-neutral.

The amended Form 4 shows a sizeable equity award to the CFO, increasing her direct holdings from roughly 15,200 to 18,762 shares. Although the grant aligns management incentives with shareholders, it is part of standard LTIP compensation rather than an opportunistic open-market purchase, hence provides limited directional insight into FBNC’s valuation. The three-year cliff vesting to 2028 encourages long-term retention but does not immediately affect float or cash flows. Overall market impact appears neutral.
