CARNEY CRAIG B 4

What Happened
Craig B. Carney, EVP and Chief Credit Officer of TRICO Bancshares (TCBK), had a disposition of 11,000 shares on 2026-02-06 at $52.23 per share, totaling approximately $574,530. The Form 4 reports the transaction as an "other acquisition or disposition" (code J) rather than an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-06; Filing date: 2026-02-10 (filed within the usual two-business-day window).
• Shares disposed: 11,000 at $52.23 each; gross value ≈ $574,530.
• Transaction code: J (other acquisition/disposition).
• Footnote F1: This was an in-service distribution from the TriCo Bancshares Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to an IRA; the reporting person received cash from the ESOP equal to the issuer's closing stock price on 02-06-2026.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing (see full Form 4 for holdings).

Context
Because the disposition stems from an ESOP in-service distribution (per the footnote), this entry reflects a plan-driven transfer/cash distribution rather than necessarily an intentional open-market sale by the insider. Such plan or tax-driven dispositions do not by themselves indicate insider sentiment about the company.
