Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Southern Missouri Bancorp EVP Mark E. Hecker reported an update to his holdings, mainly reflecting an inheritance and existing benefit-plan positions, rather than market trading. He directly received 1,220.684 shares of common stock at $0.00 per share through an estate or will transfer described as a distribution of the Estate of Patsy Hecker, which is noted as exempt from Section 16(b).

The filing also lists indirect common stock held in a spouse IRA, an IRA, and a 401(k), with the 401(k) position reflecting contributions since his last ownership report. In addition, Hecker holds multiple stock options (rights to buy common stock) with exercise prices between the mid-$30s and low-$60s and expiration dates from 2028 through 2036, many of which vest in 20% annual installments over five years.

Section 16(b) regulatory
"This transaction is exempt from Section 16(b)."
A federal rule that requires company insiders—like officers, directors and large shareholders—to return any profits made from buying and selling the company’s stock within a six-month window. It matters to investors because it discourages short-term trades that could exploit non-public information and helps protect outside shareholders by creating a simple, enforceable way to recover unfair gains, much like a rule stopping someone from flipping a limited-edition item for quick profit after getting early access.
Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial
"security_title": "Stock Option (Right to Buy)""
401(k) financial
"nature_of_ownership": "401(k)""
A 401(k) is a type of retirement savings plan offered by employers that allows workers to set aside a portion of their paycheck before taxes are taken out. The money saved in a 401(k) can grow over time through investments, helping individuals build funds for their future retirement. It matters to investors because it provides a tax-advantaged way to save and invest for long-term financial security.
