BUONAIUTO THOMAS 4

What Happened

• Thomas Buonaiuto, Senior Executive Vice President of Flushing Financial Corp. (FFIC), had 306 shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to vested equity. The withholding was done at $15.54 per share, totaling approximately $4,755 (transaction reported 2026-01-28; filed 2026-01-30).
• This was a tax-withholding disposal (transaction code F), not an open-market sale or a purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-01-28 at $15.54 per share.
• Shares involved: 306 shares withheld; proceeds/value ≈ $4,755.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this Form 4.
• Footnotes: F1 = shares withheld to satisfy taxes upon vesting; F2 = some shares held by spouse; F3 = some shares held in Flushing Bank 401(k) Savings Plan as of 1/27/2026.
• Filing timeliness: Report filed 2026-01-30 for a 2026-01-28 transaction — appears timely (Form 4s generally must be filed within two business days).

Context

• Tax-withholding transactions are routine administrative disposals when equity awards vest; they reflect tax payment mechanics rather than a deliberate sale signaling confidence or lack thereof. This is not a purchase or open-market sale, and it does not, by itself, indicate insider sentiment about the company.
