Just Susan Svensson 4

What Happened
Just Susan Svensson, EVP and Chief Credit Officer of Heritage Commerce Corp (HTBK), recorded dispositions of 61,329 HTBK shares on April 17, 2026. The Form 4 shows three disposition entries: 13,736 shares (common stock) and two derivative-related dispositions of 24,710 and 22,883 shares (47,593 total) — all reported at $0.00 (no cash proceeds). These dispositions were part of the closing of the merger with CVB Financial Corp., under which each HTBK share was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.65 CVBF shares (the Merger Consideration). The gross conversion of 61,329 HTBK shares equates to roughly 39,863 CVBF shares before any rounding and tax withholding adjustments.

Context
This was not an open-market sale for cash but a non-cash corporate action tied to the merger: HTBK shares were cancelled and converted into CVB Financial (CVBF) stock and certain RSUs vested and converted. Derivative entries reflect the conversion of restricted stock units into the right to receive CVBF shares (subject to rounding and tax withholding). Such filings report the corporate reorganization mechanics rather than a decision to sell for cash, so they do not by themselves indicate insider sentiment about the combined company.
