WESTERN ALLIANCE (WAL) Vice Chair Dale Gibbons Sells Shares
What Happened
- Dale Gibbons, Vice Chair and Chief Banking Officer (Deposits) of Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL), converted vested derivative units (Form 4 code M) and immediately disposed of the resulting 726 shares to the issuer (code D) on June 15, 2026. The dispositions were reported at $81.81 per share, producing gross cash proceeds of approximately $59,394 (285 + 212 + 229 = 726 shares).
- The conversion entries show an acquisition price of $0.00 for the units (reflecting conversion of vested units) and the subsequent disposition to the issuer at $81.81 per share. This is effectively a cash settlement of vested units rather than an open-market sale or a purchase.

Such cash-settled conversions are routine for vested units and often reflect standard payout/tax-withholding procedures rather than a directional bet on the stock.
