Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Insider received time‑vested equity and long‑dated options, modestly increasing long‑term alignment with shareholders.

The combination of 2,470 RSUs and 8,297 options emphasizes retention incentives rather than immediate liquidity. The options carry a $36.43 strike and a 10‑year term, aligning pay with multi‑year stock performance. The conversion of 695 vested RSUs into deferred units under the SERP defers receipt until termination, indicating tax/retention structuring. Overall, these are routine executive compensation actions with limited immediate dilution and a focus on multi‑year vesting.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Grants and deferral reflect standard executive retention practices and use of the company SERP for deferred compensation.

The filing documents standard governance processes: equity awards with staged vesting and use of a supplemental plan for deferred stock units. The reporting person remains a director and officer, and transactions were reported through counsel (Attorney in Fact signature). There is no indication of accelerated vesting or unusual one‑time payouts disclosed in this Form 4.

1. Reflects grant of restricted stock units (RSUs) which vest in three approximately equal installments on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. In connection with the vesting on August 14, 2025, of 695 restricted stock units previously granted to the reporting person, the reporting person's receipt of 695 shares of common stock was deferred resulting in the reporting person's receipt instead of 695 shares of deferred stock units into the First Financial Bankshares, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as amended and restated effected July 26, 2022 (the "SERP"). The reporting person is therefore reporting the disposition of 695 restricted stock units in exchange for an equal number of deferred stock units under the SERP, which are payable upon the reporting person's termination. The options vest 33.33% after one year from the grant date, 66.66% after the second year, and 100% after the third year.
