Insights

Banking equity analyst

Executive VP returned 70 shares to issuer, retains 372 shares.

The Form 4 shows Executive Vice President Thomas A. Bennett disposed of 70 shares of FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANCORP common stock at $1,139.23 per share. The transaction is coded as a disposition to the issuer, not an open-market sale to third parties.

Following the transaction, Bennett holds 372 shares directly. With only one non-derivative transaction and no derivative positions listed, this appears as a single, issuer-focused adjustment to his holdings rather than an ongoing trading pattern.

Because the filing does not reference any trading plans or additional derivative awards, subsequent company filings would be the primary place to see if similar issuer-related dispositions or changes in equity compensation continue over future reporting periods.
