Was William J. Boer’s IBCP transaction an open‑market purchase or a grant?

The filing classifies the 309-share transaction as a grant, award, or other acquisition rather than an open-market purchase. The transaction code "A" and description confirm it was an awarded grant of Common Stock, not a discretionary market buy order.

What does the dividend reinvestment program (DRIP) footnote for IBCP indicate?

The footnote states that the reported holdings include 125.09 shares acquired through a dividend reinvestment program during the first quarter. This means some of the shares were automatically purchased using cash dividends rather than through separate cash transactions.
