Weber David R. 4

What Happened
David R. Weber, Chief Financial Officer of First Western Financial Inc. (MYFW), received a grant of 668 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-05-01 (reported as an award, code A). Separately, 342 shares were disposed to satisfy tax/payment obligations: 240 shares on 2026-05-01 and 102 shares on 2026-05-04, each at $28.55 per share for total proceeds of $6,852 and $2,912 respectively (combined $9,764). The disposals are reported under transaction code F (payment of exercise price or tax liability) and are generally routine tax-withholding actions rather than open-market selling for investment purposes.

Key Details

• Filing timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-05-05 reporting 2026-05-01 transactions; this filing is within the typical two-business-day window and is therefore timely.
• Transaction codes: A = award/grant; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (i.e., shares used/withheld to cover tax obligations).

Context
RSU grants are a form of compensation and are not market purchases; they typically indicate retention/compensation rather than a direct bullish or bearish signal. The reported share disposals were to satisfy tax or payment obligations (routine), not a public open-market sale intended to raise cash for unrelated reasons. The RSUs will vest over future years per the disclosed schedule, so future taxable events and potential withholding/sales may occur at vesting.
