restricted stock financial

"Independent Bank Corp. awarded restricted stock to the Filer per the Independent Bank Corp. 2018 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

2018 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan financial

"awarded restricted stock to the Filer per the Independent Bank Corp. 2018 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan"

Rule 16b-3(d) regulatory

"in a transaction exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d)"

Rule 16b-3(d) is a narrow SEC safe-harbor that shields company insiders (officers, directors and large shareholders) from liability for short‑swing profits when their buys or sells of company stock are made under a pre-established, written plan or contract that removes the insider’s ability to time trades. For investors, this matters because it permits predictable, automated insider transactions — like scheduled sales for diversification or payroll withholding — without triggering forced disgorgement, so such planned trades are treated differently from opportunistic insider trading.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan financial

"acquired as a result of participation in the Independent Bank Corp. 2014 Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan"

A dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan lets investors automatically use cash dividends to buy additional shares and often make extra share purchases directly from the company, usually at low or no commission. Think of it as an automatic savings plan for stock: dividends and optional contributions are turned into more shares, helping ownership grow through compounding and making regular investing simple and low-cost—key for long-term investors.
