Stein Clint 4

What Happened

• Clint Stein (Chair, President, CEO, Director) reported a disposition of 3,922 shares of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (COLB) on 2026-02-15.

The filing indicates the shares were used to satisfy a tax liability (transaction code F), i.e., shares withheld to cover taxes rather than an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-15; Price per share: $31.49; Shares disposed: 3,922; Total value: $123,504.
• Transaction type/code: F — payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld/used to satisfy taxes).
• Filing date / accession: Filed 2026-02-18 (Accession 0000887343-26-000063).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing.
• No explicit late-filing flag noted in the reported Form 4.

Context

• This appears to be a routine tax-withholding disposition (common when options vest or restricted shares settle). In these cases shares are withheld or retired to cover taxes rather than sold on the open market, so they’re often less informative about the insider’s view of the stock.
• For retail investors, purchases or open-market sales typically carry more interpretive weight than withholding transactions; this filing documents tax-related disposal rather than a deliberate market sale.
