Ebron Brian Scot 4

What Happened

• Brian Scot Ebron, EVP and Chief Banking Officer of Shore Bancshares (SHBI), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on March 6–7, 2026. A total of 2,627 RSUs converted into common shares (1,192 on 3/06 and 1,435 on 3/07). To satisfy tax withholding, 842 shares were retained by the issuer (387 on 3/06 and 455 on 3/07), leaving a net increase of 1,785 shares to Ebron’s holdings. No cash proceeds from a market sale are reported; these were conversions and tax withholdings, not open-market sales.

Context

• These were RSU vesting events (derivative conversions), not open-market purchases or discretionary sales. The share retention was a tax-withholding mechanism (common for RSU vesting) rather than a market sale that would generate cash proceeds.
• For retail investors, such vesting increases insider ownership but generally reflects standard compensation vesting rather than a signal of immediate buying or selling intent.
