FIRST FINANCIAL BANCORP (FFBC) reported that Chief Financial Officer James M. Anderson had 3,961 shares of common stock withheld on September 5, 2026 to pay tax liability associated with becoming retirement eligible. The shares were valued at $32.98 per share for this tax-withholding transaction.
After this event, Anderson held 110,576 shares of FFBC common stock directly. He also held FFBC shares indirectly, including 828 shares as UTMA custodian for his son and 20,563.4069 shares through a 401-K plan. No Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is reported in connection with these transactions.
First Financial Bancorp (FFBC) has filed an S‑4 to register common shares it will issue to acquire Finward Bancorp in an all‑stock merger. Finward will merge into First Financial, followed by a bank merger of Peoples Bank into First Financial Bank, after which Finward will be delisted and deregistered.
Finward shareholders will receive 1.35 First Financial common shares for each Finward share. Based on First Financial’s July 20, 2026 Nasdaq closing price, this implied about $47.90 per Finward share and aggregate merger consideration of about $208.3 million. After closing, First Financial shareholders are expected to own about 95% of the combined company and former Finward shareholders about 5%.
The merger is intended to qualify as a tax‑free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except for cash in lieu of fractional shares). Completion requires Finward shareholder approval, multiple regulatory approvals without a “materially burdensome regulatory condition,” effectiveness of this registration statement, and customary accuracy and covenant‑compliance conditions. Either party may terminate under specified circumstances; Finward could owe a $9.0 million termination fee in certain alternative‑transaction or recommendation‑change scenarios. Finward shareholders have no appraisal rights under Indiana law.
