Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-02-17; Report filed: 2026-02-19 (filed within the typical two-business-day Section 16 reporting window).
Price: $0.00 per share (no cash paid); Transaction code: A (award/acquisition).
Nature: Exempt acquisition under Shore Bancshares Dividend Reinvestment Plan (see footnote F1).
Post-transaction holdings: The excerpt does not state a single total after the transaction. The filing notes other holdings and components, including:
- 1,270 shares acquired under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (F2/F4).
- 23,281 shares held jointly with spouse (F3).
- IRA holdings from terminated ESOP (F5).

No indication in the provided excerpt that this filing was late.

Context

This transaction is an acquisition via dividend reinvestment (automatic use of dividends to buy shares), which increases beneficial ownership but does not involve an open-market purchase.
Separate RSU-related footnotes indicate the insider also holds contingent awards with specific vesting schedules; RSUs are rights to receive shares in the future if vesting conditions are met.
As with all Form 4s, the transaction is a factual disclosure of ownership change and does not by itself reveal the insider’s motivations.
