TAYLOR DIAN C 4

What Happened

• Dian C. Taylor, a director of Artesian Resources Corp. (ARTNA), reported restricted stock vesting on 2026-05-05. The filing shows an award/derivative acquisition of 1,000 shares at $31.41 (value $31,410), a non-derivative acquisition of 1,000 shares at $31.41 ($31,410), and a disposition of 1,000 derivative shares at $31.41 ($31,410).
• Footnote F1 states these shares were restricted shares that vested (original award dated 05/05/2025). The filing records both an acquisition and a same-size disposition associated with the vesting (often used to reflect shares issued and shares withheld to cover taxes).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-05; reported price: $31.41 per share.
• Reported amounts: 1,000 shares (award/derivative), 1,000 shares acquired (non-derivative), 1,000 shares disposed (derivative). Each line valued at $31,410.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided summary of the filing.
• Footnote: F1 — vesting of restricted shares awarded on 05/05/2025.
• Filing date: 2026-05-06 (appears timely — Form 4 is generally due within 2 business days of the transaction).

Context

• Code A = grant/award (derivative instrument vesting); Code J = “other acquisition or disposition” (used here alongside the vesting footnote — commonly reflects share conversion/withholding for taxes). This is a vesting event, not an open-market buy or sell; such transactions are typically routine compensation-related activity rather than a direct market sentiment signal.
• No indication in this filing of a 10% owner transaction, a 10b5-1 plan, or a cashless exercise; the activity relates to restricted stock vesting per the footnote.
