Dumont Serge 4

What Happened
Serge Dumont, a director of East West Bancorp (EWBC), was reported to have received 1,156 shares on 2026-05-18 as an award/grant (transaction code A). The Form 4 lists an acquisition price of $0.00 (i.e., a compensation grant); the filing shows no cash purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-18; reported acquisition price: $0.00 for 1,156 shares.
• Filing date: 2026-05-21 (three days after the reported transaction — Form 4s are generally due within 2 business days, so this may be later than typical).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the supplied filing summary.
• Footnote: F1 — "Represents shares of common stock which the Reporting Person is entitled to receive annually pursuant to the compensation program in effect for non-employee directors."
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (A); not a market purchase or sale.

Context
This appears to be routine director compensation (annual equity award for non-employee directors) rather than a personal purchase or sale that might signal a change in the director’s view of the company. Such grants are common and often part of standard board pay; they do not necessarily reflect insider sentiment about near-term stock moves.
