FFIN (FFIN) CAO shifts 6,094 vested shares into deferred stock units

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES INC Chief Accounting Officer Ronald David Butler II reported compensation-related equity activity involving performance stock units, common stock, and deferred stock units. On March 13, 2026, 6,094 performance stock units vested and were settled in shares of common stock.

Instead of receiving these 6,094 common shares directly, Mr. Butler deferred the award into the company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, exchanging them for 6,094 deferred stock units payable upon his termination of employment. This produced an acquisition and a matching disposition to the issuer rather than an open-market trade.

After these transactions, Mr. Butler directly holds 170,952 shares of common stock and 14,262 deferred stock units representing future rights to common stock. The filing reflects routine executive compensation and deferral elections, with no reported open-market purchases or sales.

1. Represents shares of common stock issued upon the vesting of outstanding performance stock units that were subject to performance criteria other than the issuer's stock price. In connection with the vesting of performance stock units previously granted on August 16, 2023, Mr. Butler's receipt of 6,094 shares of common stock was deferred resulting in Mr. Butler's receipt instead of 6,094 shares of deferred stock units into the First Financial Bankshares, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as amended and restated effective July 26, 2022 (the "SERP"). Mr. Butler is therefore reporting the disposition of 6,094 performance stock units in exchange for an equal number of shares of deferred stock units under the SERP, which are payable upon Mr. Butler's termination of employment.

FAQ

What did FFIN executive Ronald David Butler II report on this Form 4?

Ronald David Butler II reported vesting and settlement of 6,094 performance stock units into common stock, then deferring those shares into 6,094 deferred stock units under the company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The activity reflects compensation and deferral elections, not open-market buying or selling of shares.

Were there any open-market stock purchases or sales by FFIN’s CAO in this filing?

No open-market purchases or sales were reported. The Form 4 shows a grant and vesting of equity awards and an associated disposition to the issuer tied to a deferral election into deferred stock units, all at a stated price of zero rather than market-based trading activity.

How many First Financial Bankshares shares does Ronald Butler hold after these transactions?

Following the reported transactions, Ronald Butler holds 170,952 shares of First Financial Bankshares common stock directly and 14,262 deferred stock units. The deferred stock units represent future delivery of common stock, generally payable when his employment with the company ends, rather than immediately tradable shares.

What are the deferred stock units reported by FFIN’s CAO on this Form 4?

The deferred stock units are equity-based awards credited under First Financial Bankshares’ Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. In this filing, 6,094 vested performance stock units were exchanged for 6,094 deferred stock units, which are payable in common stock upon Ronald Butler’s termination of employment with the company.

Why does the Form 4 for FFIN show both an acquisition and a disposition of 6,094 shares?

The acquisition reflects 6,094 shares of common stock issued upon vesting of performance stock units, while the matching disposition reflects those same shares being effectively surrendered to the issuer and replaced with 6,094 deferred stock units under the retirement plan, consistent with Butler’s deferral election.
