Utz John A.

Utz John A., Executive Vice President at Associated Banc-Corp (ASB), has filed 67 Form 4 transactions with the SEC, all concentrated in a single company. The aggregate picture is one of compensation-driven accumulation paired with periodic open-market sales. Over the tracked period, Utz acquired shares worth approximately $1.35 million—almost entirely through grants and awards (code A) and option exercises (code M)—while selling roughly $851,700 on the open market (code S). There are no open-market purchases (code P) in the record, meaning every acquisition of new shares came through company compensation rather than discretionary buying. The recent activity, spanning late 2025 through mid-2026, shows a consistent rhythm of monthly dividend-equivalent accruals (code J, each valued at $1,347.54) and quarterly restricted stock grants, punctuated by several notable sales. The largest single sale came on June 10, 2026, when Utz disposed of ASB shares worth $144,125. That followed a December 9, 2025 cluster of three sales totaling $56,392.62, which coincided with an option exercise of just $2,346.30—suggesting the sales were tied to the exercise rather than a broader repositioning. A substantial tax-withholding transaction (code F) on March 9, 2026, valued at $216,666.12, accompanied a $460,970.40 grant on the same date, a pattern typical of equity vesting. The most recent filings show no open-market sales in the last two months, with only routine monthly accruals and a June 15 grant of $12,886.02. The overall bias is mildly bearish in discretionary terms: Utz has sold on the open market but never bought, with all accumulation flowing from compensation. The sales, however, are modest relative to the grant values and appear episodic rather than systematic, clustering around vesting dates and option exercises.
