KOPNISKY JACK L 4

What Happened
Jack L. Kopnisky, a director of Amerant Bancorp, was granted 2,885 restricted stock units (RSUs) on June 2, 2026. The grant was reported on Form 4 filed June 4, 2026. The RSUs were awarded at $0.00 cash cost to the reporting person (a derivative award), and each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Class A common stock upon vesting. This is an award/grant (not a purchase or sale), so it does not represent an immediate cash outlay or sale of shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-02; Form 4 filed: 2026-06-04 (timely filing).
• Transaction type/code: A — Award/Grant of derivative securities (RSUs). Reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares/units granted: 2,885 RSUs. No immediate shares issued — RSUs convert to shares only upon vesting.

• Relevant footnotes:
  • F1: Each RSU equals the economic equivalent of one share of Class A common stock.
  • F2: The 2,885 RSUs vest on the first anniversary of the grant (June 2, 2027) provided the director remains in continuous service through the 2027 annual meeting or the first anniversary; each vested RSU entitles the holder to one share.

Context
RSU grants are a common form of equity compensation for directors and executives; they are derivative awards that only become actual shares if and when the vesting conditions are met. Because this was a grant rather than a purchase or sale, it doesn’t signal immediate buying or selling pressure. The filing appears timely (filed within the Form 4 reporting window).
