Deferred Stock Units financial
"the reporting person's receipt instead of 2,337 shares of deferred stock units"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
restricted stock units financial
"vesting on August 14, 2026, of 2,337 restricted stock units previously granted"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

How many deferred stock units did the FFIN EVP/CFO receive in the recent transactions?

She received 2,337 deferred stock units in one transaction and 1,354 in another. Each grant corresponds to the vesting of an equal number of previously granted restricted stock units, which were deferred into the SERP instead of settling in common stock.

What happened to the restricted stock units reported by FFIN’s EVP/CFO?

Vested restricted stock units were exchanged for deferred stock units on a one-for-one basis. Specifically, 2,337 and 1,354 restricted stock units were disposed of and replaced by the same numbers of deferred stock units credited under the SERP, payable upon her termination of service.

Are the deferred stock units for FFIN’s EVP/CFO immediately payable?

No, the deferred stock units are payable upon the reporting person’s termination. The footnotes explain that the units are credited into the First Financial Bankshares, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and are designed to settle in the future rather than at vesting.

How many FFIN shares does the EVP/CFO hold indirectly through an IRA?

The filing shows an indirect holding of 14,600 shares of FFIN common stock "By IRA." This line is a holding entry, not a new transaction, and reflects shares owned through an individual retirement account associated with the reporting person.
