PEAPACK GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORP director Richard Daingerfield reported routine equity compensation activity.

On the same date, he received a new grant of 2,320 restricted stock units, each scheduled to convert into one share of PGC common stock on the one-year vesting date. Following these transactions, his common stock position includes 5,113 shares held indirectly via the rabbi trust and 20,425 shares held directly, with the direct total including shares accumulated through dividend reinvestment since the prior filing. No open-market buys or sales were reported; all movements reflect vesting, conversion, and a new award of stock-based compensation.

Were there any open-market stock sales or purchases by the PGC director in this Form 4?

No open-market sales or purchases are reported. All activity involves the vesting and conversion of 2,605 restricted stock units into common stock and the award of 2,320 new RSUs. These are compensation-related entries rather than discretionary market trades in PGC shares.

What does it mean that some PGC shares are held through a rabbi trust?
