(CLBK), made two small transactions on Sept. 3, 2026: an open-market purchase of 20 shares at $11.68 per share (total cost $234) and a gift disposition of 20 shares (no proceeds). The purchase is a routine insider buy; the gift is a non‑market disposition and does not necessarily reflect sentiment about the stock.

• The purchase is small ($234) and may reflect routine portfolio activity rather than a material vote of confidence.
• The footnotes show the director has awards/options subject to plan terms (vesting and exercisability), but the reported transactions here were a small open‑market buy and a gift, not option exercises or award grants.
