FAQ

What insider transaction did WTBA CFO Jane Funk report?

WTBA CFO Jane Funk reported a tax-withholding disposition of 6,033 shares of common stock. The shares were withheld to pay payroll taxes due when restricted stock units vested and were issued on March 25, 2026, rather than being sold on the open market.

Did the WTBA CFO sell shares in the open market in this Form 4?

No, the Form 4 shows a tax-withholding disposition of 6,033 shares, not an open-market sale. The shares were withheld by the company at $23.71 per share to satisfy payroll tax obligations tied to vesting restricted stock units.

How many WEST BANCORPORATION shares does the CFO hold after this transaction?

After the reported transaction, the CFO holds 71,517 WTBA common shares directly. She also has an additional 220 shares held indirectly through a 401(k) plan, as disclosed in the filing’s ownership table and related details.

What price per share was used for the WTBA tax-withholding shares?

The tax-withholding disposition used a price of $23.71 per WTBA common share. This price is applied to the 6,033 shares withheld to calculate the value used to cover payroll taxes when the restricted stock units vested.

What happened to the WTBA performance stock units noted in the Form 4?

The filing states that 719 previously reported performance stock units did not vest. The performance conditions attached to those units were not satisfied, so those units were forfeited and no common shares were issued from them.

Is the WTBA CFO’s Form 4 transaction a routine compensation event?

Yes, the Form 4 describes shares withheld to pay taxes on vesting restricted stock units, a routine compensation-related event. It reflects payroll tax settlement rather than a discretionary decision to buy or sell shares in the market.
