FAQ

What insider transaction did MBIN CFO report on February 1, 2026?

Merchants Bancorp’s CFO reported a tax withholding transaction. On 02/01/2026, 246 shares of common stock were withheld at $41.46 per share when restricted stock units vested, covering his tax obligations rather than representing an open-market purchase or sale.

How many Merchants Bancorp (MBIN) shares does the CFO hold after this Form 4?

After the transaction, the CFO directly holds 14,388 common shares. The filing also shows direct ownership of 3,000 Series D Depositary Shares, plus 7,935 unvested restricted stock units that will only deliver shares as they vest over future dates.

What does the 246-share withholding mean for MBIN CFO Sean A. Sievers?

The 246-share withholding covers tax on vested restricted stock units. Instead of paying cash, a portion of newly vested shares was withheld at $41.46 each, a standard method to satisfy income tax obligations tied to equity compensation awards.

How many unvested restricted stock units does the MBIN CFO have and when do they vest?

The CFO has 7,935 unvested restricted stock units outstanding. These are scheduled to vest in three future tranches: 2,896 units on 02/01/2027, 2,896 units on 02/01/2028, and 2,143 units on 02/01/2029, at which time shares will be issued.

What are the Series D Depositary Shares reported in the MBIN Form 4 filing?

The filing lists 3,000 Series D Depositary Shares held directly. This line reflects a separate class of securities from common stock, shown as a holding rather than a new transaction, indicating the CFO’s existing position in that security class at the reporting date.

Does the MBIN CFO receive dividends or voting rights on unvested RSUs?

The unvested restricted stock units do not carry voting rights or dividends. The filing specifies that for the 7,935 unvested RSUs, the reporting person lacks voting power and does not receive dividends until the units vest and actual shares are issued.
