Potbelly Corp. (PBPB) – Form 4 insider filing
President & CEO Robert D. Wright reported an aggregate 5,551 common shares disposed on 31 Jul 2025 at $12.03 per share. All three line-items were coded “F,” signifying shares withheld by the company to satisfy statutory tax obligations arising from the vesting of restricted stock units granted on 6 Jan 2023, 3 Jan 2024 and 2 Jan 2025. After the tax-related withholding, Wright directly owns 774,703 shares of Potbelly common stock.
The filing represents an administrative settlement of payroll taxes rather than an open-market sale, so it does not alter Wright’s underlying economic exposure to PBPB.
Key ownership disclosure: On 20 June 2025, Portolan Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware-registered investment adviser, and its manager George McCabe filed a Schedule 13G reporting passive ownership of Potbelly Corp (PBPB) common stock.
The filing states that the reporting persons beneficially own 1,667,702 shares, representing 5.53 % of Potbelly’s outstanding common shares. All shares are held with sole voting and dispositive power; no shared voting or dispositive power is reported. The securities are owned directly by Portolan in its capacity as investment manager for multiple clients, and indirectly by Mr. McCabe as the firm’s manager. The filers certify that the investment is not intended to influence control of the issuer and was made in the ordinary course of portfolio management.
Because ownership exceeded the 5 % threshold, the Schedule 13G was required under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act. No other entities are identified as members of a group, and no part of the holding belongs to any person with more than 5 % individual interest. The disclosure provides investors with an updated view of Potbelly’s shareholder base but contains no financial results, strategic commentary or operational changes.
