Lora Rolando A 4

What Happened
Lora Rolando A, an executive vice president (role listed in the filing as "EVP Ch Ret Len Off Dir Com Len"), was granted 2,710 shares of Washington Trust Bancorp on 2026-01-22 as an award (transaction code A, acquisition at $0.00). On 2026-01-23, 53 of those shares were disposed of to satisfy tax withholding obligations (transaction code F) at $30.17 per share, totaling $1,599. The grant is an acquisition (not a purchase), and the 53-share disposition was a routine tax withholding — not an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Grant: 2,710 shares awarded on 2026-01-22 at $0.00 per share (code A).
• Tax withholding: 53 shares withheld on 2026-01-23 at $30.17 per share, value $1,599 (code F).
• Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnote/meaning: F indicates shares were withheld to satisfy tax liability; A indicates an award/grant. This withholding is routine and not a discretionary sale.
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on 2026-01-26 for transactions dated 2026-01-22/23; this appears to be a late filing (filed after the typical 2-business-day reporting window).

Context
Awards (A) are commonly restricted stock or RSU vestings; the subsequent small disposition under F is standard tax withholding and should not be read as a negative trading signal. For retail investors, purchases are often more informative than routine grants or tax-withholding dispositions.
