Evans Jae A 4

What Happened
Director Jae A. Evans reported an acquisition of 201 shares of Isabella Bank Corporation (ISBA) on Jan 20, 2026 at a reported price of $49.58 per share, for a total value of approximately $9,966. The Form 4 lists the transaction type as a purchase (P); a filing footnote clarifies these shares were acquired with director fees under the Isabella Bank deferred compensation plan for directors.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-01-20 at $49.58 per share (201 shares; ~$9,966 total).
• Transaction type: Reported as Purchase (P); footnote indicates acquisition via director fees under a deferred compensation plan.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Other footnote: Ownership totals may include shares acquired through quarterly dividend reinvestment (per F2).
• Filing timeliness: Form filed 2026-01-23; Form 4s are typically due within two business days of the transaction, so this filing appears to have been submitted one business day late.

Context: This was a small-dollar acquisition recorded under a director compensation arrangement rather than a straightforward out-of-pocket open-market buy; such purchases can still be of interest, but the footnote indicates the acquisition was tied to director fees/deferred compensation rather than a unilateral market purchase.
