Ferebee John Jethro Jr 4

What Happened
Director John J. Ferebee (Ferebee John Jethro Jr) made three reported purchases of First Carolina Financial Services, Inc. common stock on June 18, 2026. The transactions were purchases (code P) totaling 14,100 shares for about $176,300: two purchases of 7,000 shares at $12.50 each ($87,500 each) and one purchase of 100 shares at $13.00 ($1,300). Purchases are acquisitions rather than sales and are often viewed as a positive (bullish) signal, though filings do not state the buyer’s motivations.

Context
A directed share program purchase typically occurs in connection with an IPO allocation and is different from ordinary open-market buys. A spouse’s purchase is reported because it is attributable to the reporting person under SEC rules; such purchases can reflect aligned family investing but do not alone reveal the director’s intent. These were straightforward stock purchases (no option exercises, awards, gifts, or withholding involved).
