JEFFE ROBERT A 4

What Happened

Robert A. Jeffe, a director of Associated Banc‑Corp (ASB), was granted 4,585 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 1, 2026. The award is reported at a grant value of $27.26 per share, totaling $124,987. This filing reports an award/acquisition (Form 4 code A) — not an open‑market purchase or sale — and reflects compensation/board awards rather than a personal cash investment.

  • F2: Certain stock units were 100% vested at time of acquisition (per filing).

Context

RSU grants to directors are a common component of board compensation and do not necessarily reflect the director buying shares in the open market. Vesting terms mean the shares are not immediately transferable until the stated vesting date (here, one year). Phantom units simply remain in the deferred compensation account until distributed and are not current share holdings.
