Kim James J 4

What Happened
Kim James, CEO and director of Community West Bancshares (CWBC), had 2,040 restricted shares vest on January 23, 2026. To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 841 of those vested shares were withheld (disposed) at a fair‑value price of $23.85 per share, totaling $20,058. The net shares issued to James from this vesting were 1,199 (2,040 vested minus 841 withheld). This was a tax‑withholding share surrender associated with a restricted stock award, not an open‑market sale.

Context
Tax‑withholding share surrenders on restricted stock vesting are routine corporate administration actions and do not necessarily indicate the insider’s view of the company’s stock. This was not an active open‑market sale or purchase; it simply settled tax obligations arising from the vesting of an awarded grant.
