Hanover Bancorp Exec Files Form 4 for Routine Tax Withholding

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hanover Bancorp (HNVR) Form 4: EVP & CFO Lance P. Burke reported a Code F withholding transaction on 1 Aug 2025 related to the vesting of prior-granted restricted stock. The company withheld 540 common shares at an average price of $20.81 to satisfy payroll-tax obligations, reducing Burke’s direct holdings from 26,497 to 25,957 shares. No open-market buying or selling occurred; the shares were automatically surrendered to the issuer, so the transaction does not reflect a discretionary investment view. Following the withholding, Burke retains an equity stake worth roughly $540k at the reported price, continuing to align his interests with shareholders.

The filing is routine, signals no change in corporate outlook, and involves fewer than 0.1 % of HNVR’s ~9.9 m shares outstanding. Liquidity or control implications are negligible.

Positive

• CFO retains 25,957 shares, maintaining meaningful insider ownership and alignment with shareholders.

Negative

• 540 shares surrendered slightly reduces insider stake, but the amount is immaterial.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine tax-withholding; immaterial share reduction, insider still holds sizable stake—impact neutral.

Code F signals mandatory surrender of shares for taxes on a 2021 RSU grant rather than an elective sale. The 540-share decrement represents roughly 2 % of Burke’s personal position and an immaterial 0.005 % of the public float. Because no open-market activity or price discovery occurred, the event should not influence valuation or sentiment. Continued ownership of ~26k shares by the CFO supports long-term alignment, while the $20.81 value provides a rough reference for the stock’s recent trading range. Overall market impact is de minimis.
