What Happened

• James M. Anderson, Chief Financial Officer of First Financial Bancorp (FFBC), was granted 45,816 shares on 2026-09-14. The reported acquisition price was $32.74 per share, for a total reported value of $1,500,016. The transaction is coded as an award/grant (A), not an open-market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-09-14 at $32.74 per share.
• Shares involved: 45,816; total reported value ≈ $1,500,016.
• Vesting note: Shares are subject to a three-year cliff vest (footnote F1) — none vest until the cliff date.
• Filing: Form 4 was filed on 2026-09-16 (timely within the SEC reporting window).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing details.

Context

• The "A" code indicates this was an award/grant (typically part of executive compensation), rather than a market purchase—so it reflects company compensation practices more than an immediate investment decision.
• The three-year cliff means Anderson won’t gain free, vested shares until the cliff period ends; if he departs before then, the award is commonly forfeited per plan terms.
