EFSC Chief Credit Officer Kevin Handley Exercises Options, Receives Awards
What Happened
Kevin L. Handley, Chief Credit Officer of Enterprise Financial Services Corp (EFSC), reported multiple equity transactions on Feb 10, 2026. The filing shows an exercise/conversion of 344 option-derived shares and awards/grants of 565 and 455 shares (RSUs/awards). To satisfy tax withholding obligations, a total of 646 shares were withheld/disposed at $59.22 per share, generating proceeds of $38,256.

Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-10; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-12 (timely).
- Acquisitions reported: 344 shares (exercise/conversion) + 565 shares (award) + 455 shares (award) = 1,364 shares acquired.
- Dispositions reported (tax withholding): 163, 268, 215 shares = 646 shares sold/withheld at $59.22/share, total $38,256.
- Net effect (based on lines reported): gross +1,364 shares acquired less 646 withheld = net +718 shares added to holdings (subject to the derivative disposition noted below).
- A 344-share derivative disposition is listed separately (zero price) and may reflect the mechanics of the option exercise/settlement.
- Footnotes: awards granted under the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (RSUs); several grants/options carry vesting/exercise schedules (vest/exercise in Q1 2026, Q1 2027, Q1 2028, and Apr 14, 2026).
- Tax withholding was done via share withholding (code F).
Context
- This appears to be a routine option exercise/award issuance with shares withheld to cover tax obligations (a common cashless settlement/tax-satisfaction practice), not an open-market sale or purchase signal.
- Awards include RSUs with future vesting dates; until vested, they may be subject to forfeiture if employment conditions aren't met.
- No evidence in this filing of a 10% owner transaction, gifts, or a 10b5-1 plan. Check the full Form 4 for total post-transaction ownership if you need exact holdings.
