[Form 4] Origin Bancorp, Inc. Insider Trading Activity
Michael Aubrey Jones, a director of Origin Bancorp, Inc. (OBK), reported a change in beneficial ownership related to common stock. On 08/28/2025 he disposed of 670 shares under transaction code G(1), which the filer explains is a bona fide charitable donation/gift. After the reported transaction Jones beneficially owned 211,012 shares directly. The Form 4 was signed by an attorney-in-fact on 08/29/2025. The filing discloses no derivative transactions, no purchase price (report shows $0 for the disposed shares), and no other changes to ownership reported on this form.
- Transparent disclosure of the gift transaction under Section 16

- Disposition reduces insider holdings by 670 shares (no price received)
- Signed by attorney-in-fact rather than the reporting person (administrative, not substantive)
Insights
TL;DR: Small, non-commercial disposal; limited investor impact.
The transaction is a G(1) code gift of 670 common shares and is categorized as a charitable donation rather than a sale. Given the post-transaction holding of 211,012 shares, the disposal represents a minor change in outstanding beneficial ownership for this insider and is unlikely to signal a change in company outlook or insider confidence. Disclosure timing and signature by an attorney-in-fact are routine for Section 16 reporting.
TL;DR: Proper disclosure of a gift; governance implications minimal.
The Form 4 clearly identifies the reporting person as a director and classifies the transaction under the appropriate code for charitable donations. The record shows direct ownership and no indirect interests disclosed. From a governance standpoint, the filing fulfills Section 16 reporting obligations and does not indicate any suspicious pattern such as a timed sale or unexplained transfer.
