tax-withholding disposition financial
"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
401(k) Plan financial
"Common Stock indirectly owned by 401(k) Plan"
A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.

FAQ

What insider transaction did FBIZ CEO Corey Chambas report on this Form 4?

Corey Chambas reported a compensation-related share grant and tax withholding. He received 10,370 shares of Common Stock upon vesting of Performance Restricted Stock Units, with 4,875 shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations rather than sold in the open market.

How many FBIZ shares did Corey Chambas receive and at what cost?

He received 10,370 shares of Common Stock at no purchase cost. The filing describes this as an issuance upon vesting of Performance Restricted Stock Unit awards for the 2023-2025 performance period, reflecting equity compensation rather than an open-market share purchase.

What does the 4,875-share tax-withholding transaction mean for FBIZ?

The 4,875-share transaction reflects shares withheld to cover tax liabilities at $58.60 per share. This is a non-market disposition to satisfy taxes associated with the equity award, not an open-market sale, so it mainly affects the CEO's net received shares, not trading activity.

After these entries, he directly owns 122,080 Common Stock shares. The filing also shows an indirect holding of 16,992 shares through a 401(k) plan, providing context for his total reported economic exposure to FIRST BUSINESS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. shares.

What is the role of Performance Restricted Stock Units in this FBIZ filing?
