Lewis Oliver Edward Jr 4

What Happened
Lewis Oliver Edward Jr, Senior Executive Vice President & Head of Commercial Banking at Columbia Financial (CLBK), had 392 shares disposed on March 6, 2026 to satisfy a tax obligation related to equity compensation. The shares were recorded at $18.06 each for total value of approximately $7,080. The transaction is reported as code "F" (payment of exercise price or tax liability), meaning shares were surrendered/ sold to cover taxes rather than an open-market sell motivated by portfolio rebalancing.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-03-06 — 392 shares disposed at $18.06 each (total ~$7,080).
• Transaction type: Code F — payment of exercise price or tax withholding (sell-to-cover).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the Form 4 filing.
• Filing date/timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-03-10; this is within the standard two-business-day reporting window for Form 4s and appears timely.

Context
This was a tax-withholding disposition tied to equity compensation (a routine administrative transaction) rather than an open-market sale signaling a change in sentiment. For retail investors, purchases are generally more informative than such withholding disposals; this filing simply documents the mechanics of covering tax liabilities from vested awards/options.
