  1. This amount includes 607 shares of time based restricted common stock solely owned by Mr. Tulaney and 21,129 shares held jointly with his spouse. This amended Form 4 corrects the amounts erroneously reported on Mr. Tulaney's Form 4 filed March 3, 2026. On March 3, 2026, the reporting person filed a Form 4 which inadvertently reported the vesting of 2,818 performance based stock awards and 1,121 shares withheld for taxes. As reported in this amendment, 1,880 performance based stock awards vested and 633 shares were withheld for taxes. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of PFIS common stock. The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning March 11, 2026.

performance based stock awards financial
"As reported in this amendment, 1,880 performance based stock awards vested and 633 shares were withheld for taxes."
Restricted Stock Unit financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of PFIS common stock."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
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.
