What Happened

John P. Connors Jr., a director of Northfield Bancorp, disposed a total of 214,015 shares on 2026-07-20 via dispositions to the issuer (conversion under the merger). Individual dispositions reported: 168,569; 33,181; 7,041; 841; and a 4,383-unit derivative item. Prices are listed as N/A; under the Merger Agreement each Northfield share was converted into the right to receive either 1.425 shares of Newco common stock or $14.25 in cash (see footnotes).

Context

These dispositions are merger-related conversions to the issuer under a binding Merger Agreement, not open-market sales. That means the report reflects corporate restructuring consideration (election between Newco stock or cash) rather than a typical insider market sale. The RSU conversion is a derivative settlement that will be cash-settled at vesting based on Newco’s closing price.
