Insights

Insider Trading Analyst

TL;DR Routine tax-withholding sales; insignificant relative to issuer’s float, limited signalling value.

The Form 4 shows Mr. Perkins netting out 1.4 k shares (≈2.3 % of his prior direct holdings). Code F denotes shares surrendered to cover withholding on vested equity awards—a common, nondiscretionary mechanism. The small size and $31-32 prices align with recent WSBC market levels, suggesting no valuation statement. Total ownership remains above 56 k shares directly, plus 3 k in the 401(k), indicating continued alignment with shareholders. From a governance and sentiment perspective, the filing is neutral; it doesn’t materially affect float, liquidity, or strategic outlook.
