Context

  • The March 19 transactions are mainly awards (acquisitions of RSUs and PSUs), which are grants of future equity rather than open-market purchases — they do not represent an immediate cash investment by the insider.
  • The March 21 transaction is a routine tax-withholding disposition (F code), where shares are withheld/sold to satisfy tax obligations tied to vested restricted stock; such withholdings are common and do not necessarily signal sentiment.
  • PSUs are contingent on performance; the 10,692-unit PSU grant will only convert to shares if First BanCorp meets preset performance goals during the relevant performance period.
