Campbell John R 4

What Happened

• John R. Campbell, Chief Financial Officer of Investar Holding Corp (ISTR), received a grant of 8,694 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-04-01 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-04-03). The RSUs are recorded at $0.00 on the grant (no cash paid).
• On the same date he had 1,020 shares disposed/withheld at $27.50 per share to satisfy tax obligations (code F), a value of $28,050. The RSU grant is an acquisition event; the withheld shares are a routine tax-withholding transaction.

Context

• RSU grants are a form of compensation that vest over time; the 8,694 RSUs do not represent immediately tradable shares until they vest.
• The 1,020-share disposal appears to be routine tax withholding tied to the equity award rather than an independent open-market sale, and is common when RSUs are granted or vest. This type of withholding is generally not a standalone bearish signal.
