MARTIN JEFFREY MICHAEL 4

What Happened
Jeffrey Michael Martin, Executive Vice President of Community West Bancshares (CWBC), had 816 shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations tied to the vesting of restricted stock. The shares were valued at $24.17 each, for a total of $19,723, and the transaction date was May 7, 2026. This was a tax-withholding disposition (transaction code F), not a voluntary open-market sale or purchase.

Context
This was a tax-withholding action (a common "cashless" surrender of shares when restricted stock vests) rather than a discretionary sale by the insider, and therefore typically does not signal a change in insider sentiment. The filing was marked late, which investors may note for timeliness but does not by itself indicate intent behind the withholding.
