Marathon Bancorp CEO reports small tax-related share sale in Form 4

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 Filing – Marathon Bancorp, Inc. (MBBC) – 28 June 2025

President & CEO Nicholas W. Zillges reported a single Code F transaction, indicating the disposition of 1,196 common shares at $9.99 to cover taxes associated with previously granted equity awards. Following the withholding, Zillges directly owns 32,376 common shares. He also maintains indirect ownership of 47,780 shares through a 401(k), 604 shares in an IRA, and 2,723 shares via the ESOP.

No open-market purchases or sales were reported. The filing also lists outstanding stock options—29,994 options (exercise price $8.1294, expiring 2032) and 7,498 options (exercise price $6.4831, expiring 2033)—both vesting 20 % annually. These positions are disclosures only; no option exercises occurred.

Given the limited size (≈ $12k) and tax-withholding nature of the share disposition, the event is considered routine and unlikely to materially influence MBBC’s valuation or trading dynamics.

Insights

Equity Insider-Trading Analyst

TL;DR: Routine tax-withholding sale; immaterial to valuation.

The Code F disposition of 1,196 shares (~$12k) is a standard share-withholding to satisfy tax on restricted-stock vesting. Post-transaction holdings reveal the CEO still has sizable equity exposure—over 80k shares/option equivalents—aligning interests with shareholders. No aggressive selling or new buying signals. The disclosure is informational, not directional, and should not sway investment theses.
