SCHNEEBERGER CAROL A 4

What Happened
Carol A. Schneeberger, a director of Peoples Bancorp, reported an open-market sale of 1,000 shares on March 9, 2026. The shares were sold at $31.41 each for a total transaction value of $31,410. This was a straight sale (transaction code S), which is often a routine liquidity event rather than a direct signal about company prospects.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-03-09, 1,000 shares at $31.41 per share (total $31,410).
• Transaction type: Open-market sale (Form 4 code S).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnotes/plan: No 10b5-1 trading plan, tax-withholding, or other footnotes were listed in the supplied data.
• Filing timeliness: Report filed 2026-03-16 — the Form 4 was reported late (transaction on 3/9; filed 3/16). Form 4s are generally due within two business days; late filing reduces prompt transparency but does not itself indicate misconduct.

Context
Sales by directors are common and can reflect personal financial planning (diversification, taxes, liquidity) rather than a change in view about the company. Purchases tend to be more informative about insider confidence. This transaction involved no option exercise, grant, or gift.
