Insights

Compensation & Governance Analyst

TL;DR: Executive received performance-based equity aligning pay with multi-year financial targets.

The grant of 75,000 performance restricted stock units to the Chief Technology & Information Officer ties a sizable equity award to measurable, multi-year company performance metrics: three-year average return on assets and three-year average growth in adjusted tangible book value. The award is structured with a maximum payout and a clear vesting/settlement date of September 10, 2028, which reinforces long-term alignment. The filing also discloses a contemporaneous disposition of 1,352 shares, which reduces his immediate direct holdings by that amount.
