dividend reinvestment plan financial

"Shares acquired through reinvestment of cash dividend under a dividend reinvestment plan."

A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.

FAQ

What insider transaction did CZNC director Stephen M. Dorwart report?

Stephen M. Dorwart reported acquiring 70 CZNC common shares. These were obtained via a dividend reinvestment plan, meaning cash dividends were automatically used to buy additional stock instead of being paid out in cash.

At what price were the new CZNC shares acquired under the dividend reinvestment plan?

The 70 CZNC shares were acquired at $20.85 per share. This price reflects the transaction value used in the dividend reinvestment plan when converting Dorwart’s cash dividend into additional common stock.

How many CZNC shares does Stephen M. Dorwart hold directly after this filing?

After the reported transaction, Stephen M. Dorwart directly holds 14,474 shares of CZNC common stock. This figure comes from the post-transaction ownership reported in the Form 4 filing for his direct holdings.

Does Stephen M. Dorwart report any indirect ownership of CZNC shares?

Yes. The Form 4 shows 6,548 CZNC shares held indirectly, noted as owned “By Corporation.” This indicates an entity-related holding, separate from Dorwart’s directly held 14,474 common shares.

What does transaction code J mean in this CZNC Form 4 filing?

Transaction code J indicates an “other acquisition or disposition.” In this case, a footnote explains the 70-share increase came from a dividend reinvestment plan, where dividends were automatically reinvested into additional CZNC shares.

Was the CZNC insider transaction an open-market buy or sell?

No. The Form 4 describes the 70-share change as an “other” transaction, specifically a dividend reinvestment plan acquisition. That means the shares were not purchased or sold in the open market by the insider.
