Context

• This disposition arose from the Agreement and Plan of Merger (Sept 24, 2025) between First Savings and First Merchants, resulting in a conversion of First Savings shares into First Merchants stock rather than an open‑market sale. Such merger-related dispositions are administrative consequences of the deal (receiving acquirer stock and cash-in-lieu for fractions) and should be read differently than voluntary insider sell orders.
