Positive

• None.

Negative

• Director disposed of 50,000 shares across two consecutive days (25,000 on 09/09/2025 and 25,000 on 09/10/2025), reducing indirect beneficial ownership from 65,894 to 40,894 as reported
• Sales were executed at weighted average prices (range disclosed) which indicates multiple transactions and potential incremental selling pressure over the two reporting days

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Director sold 50,000 INDB shares over two days; holdings remain largely indirect via family trusts.

The reported transactions are routine insider dispositions rather than derivative exercises or purchases. The filings show weighted average prices for the two sale days and disclose substantial indirect ownership through multiple family trusts, which suggests ongoing concentrated family ownership despite the recent sales. The Form 4 is informational and does not include commentary on motives or plans; impact on share supply is modest given the reported volumes but should be assessed relative to outstanding float.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Reporting is compliant and precise; multiple trust holdings are disclosed clearly.

The Form 4 includes weighted average sale prices and an explicit offer to provide detailed per-price allocation upon request, which supports transparency. Disclosure of indirect holdings by trust and holdings for family members and grandchildren aligns with good governance practice for related-party ownership reporting. No amendments or unusual execution dates are indicated.
