Welcome to our dedicated page for Penns Woods Bancorp SEC filings (Ticker: PWOD), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. filings document the completed merger with Northwest Bancshares, Inc. and the resulting transition of PWOD from a listed bank holding company issuer. The Form 8-K record covers the completion of the acquisition or disposition event and identifies Penns Woods as a Pennsylvania corporation with banking subsidiaries including Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank.
Subsequent corporate-status filings include Form 25 for removal of the company's common stock from Nasdaq listing and registration, and Form 15 for termination of registration or suspension of reporting duties under the Exchange Act. These records address the company's common stock, former reporting obligations, holder-of-record status, governance transition, and capital-structure treatment following the merger.
Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. ("PWOD") filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to five prior Form S-8 registration statements to terminate all offerings and deregister any unsold shares that had been reserved for various equity and employee stock-based plans. The amendments cover an aggregate 2,552,500 common shares previously registered across the 2020 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (100,000 shares), 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (750,000), 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (602,500), 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (1,000,000) and 1998 Stock Option Plan (100,000).
The housekeeping action follows the July 25 2025 merger of PWOD into Northwest Bancshares, Inc. ("Northwest") under the December 16 2024 merger agreement, with Northwest surviving. Because the PWOD entity no longer exists, its plan-related securities can no longer be issued. Consistent with undertakings in the original S-8 filings, the amendment removes the remaining unissued shares from SEC registration and ends the effectiveness of the five registration statements. No financial results, new share issuance, or additional merger consideration are disclosed in this filing.
Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (PWOD) has filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to five Form S-8 registration statements to deregister a total of 2,552,500 shares of common stock previously reserved for various equity and director compensation plans. The action follows the July 25 2025 merger in which PWOD was absorbed into Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (NWBI), making NWBI the surviving entity. Because PWOD no longer exists as a separate issuer, all ongoing offers under the affected plans have been terminated, and any unsold shares and related plan interests are being formally removed from SEC registration. The filing, signed by NWBI CFO Douglas M. Schosser on July 28 2025, satisfies PWOD’s undertaking to withdraw unsold securities once plan offerings cease.
