FS Bancorp (FSBW) EVP Victoria Jarman Acquires 86.7 Shares

What Happened
Victoria Jarman, CHR & WOW! Officer and Executive Vice President of FS Bancorp (FSBW), acquired 86.665 shares on 2026-08-06 at an average price of $43.27 per share, for a total value of $3,750. The transaction is reported as an "other acquisition" (transaction code J) and was made under the issuer’s Nonqualified 2022 Stock Purchase Plan, which included a 25% company match. This is a purchase (an insider buy), but it is a small, routine employee-plan transaction rather than a large open-market buy.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-06; Report filed: 2026-08-10 (appears later than the typical 2-business-day Form 4 deadline).
• Shares/price/value: 86.665 shares at $43.27/share, total $3,750.
• Post-transaction holdings: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: Shares purchased under the Nonqualified 2022 Stock Purchase Plan and include a 25% employer match.
• Transaction code J = "other acquisition or disposition" (consistent with plan purchase).

Context
Employee stock purchase-plan buys with employer matches are common and typically reflect routine compensation participation rather than a directional investment signal. The dollar amount here is modest, so the transaction alone is unlikely to materially change insider exposure. The filing date is a few days after the trade date; Form 4s are normally required within two business days, so the delayed filing may be worth noting for compliance watchers.
