Analysis · MBIN · Finance
Jody J. Petrie, an immediate family member of Merchants Bancorp's CEO Michael F. Petrie, has filed a Form 144 indicating an intent to sell approximately $475,000 worth of company shares. These shares were originally gifted from the CEO. This proposed sale follows the company's recent 10-K filing which reported a significant decrease in net income and a surge in credit loss provisions. It also adds to a pattern of insider distribution, including a recent sale by the CEO himself. While not a direct sale by the CEO, the close family connection and the origin of the shares make this a notable transaction that could be viewed negatively by investors, especially given the challenging financial backdrop.
