M&T Bank insiders sold $26.4M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

Insiders sold $26.4M, 42% under disclosed plans. Not enough reconciled holdings to state a share of stake: the people whose holdings are not confirmed report 78% of the group's shares. 40% of these sales were shares from exercising options. Why

Sep 14, 2026Rene Jones sold 19K shares ($4.6M) under a disclosed trading plan. That is 13% of the total stake held that day. 17K shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so the holding fell by 18K net.

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Sep 14, 2026Rene Jones had 15K shares ($3.6M) withheld by the company for taxes (not a market sale). That is 10% of the total stake held that day. 17K shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so the holding fell by 18K net.

What stands out

Four insiders sold $13.6M with no disclosed plan: John Barnes ($8.9M), Michael Wisler ($1.8M) and Christopher Kay ($1.7M), plus 1 more. The filings don't state a reason.John Barnes: largest such sale, Feb 9, 2026 · Michael Wisler: largest such sale, Feb 26, 2026 · Christopher Kay: largest such sale, Nov 26, 2025
Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $32.8M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $26.4M sold on the open market. The largest was Rene Jones ($27.6M withheld).Largest withholding, Feb 2, 2026

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 10, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the M&T Bank CEO selling stock?

Yes. Rene Jones sold 19K shares ($4.6M) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are M&T Bank insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 42% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 58% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any M&T Bank insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

24 of 25 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (18 exactly, 6 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 8 of 25 officers and directors. Left out: Rene Jones, John Barnes, Kevin Pearson, Christopher Kay, Tracy Woodrow and Richard Ledgett Jr. (not confirmed: a balance includes unvested units in an undisclosed amount, and the share sold could be up to 100.0 points higher (more than 3)); Robert Sadler Jr. (most holdings were last confirmed in 2021); Melinda Rich (not confirmed: 437 shares of balance changes are unexplained, more than 1% of the starting stake (23,008)); Peter D'Arcy (not confirmed: the ending holdings (12,737) differ from a plain reading of the latest filings (12,131)); John Taylor (not confirmed: a balance includes unvested units in an undisclosed amount, and the share sold could be up to 5.4 points higher (more than 3)); Julianne Urban (not confirmed: the ending holdings (8,458) differ from a plain reading of the latest filings (8,274)); Laura O'Hara (not confirmed: the ending holdings (9,559) differ from a plain reading of the latest filings (9,191)); Michael Wisler (not confirmed: read line by line, 151 shares of balance changes have no reported transaction behind them, more than 1% of the starting stake); Rudina Seseri (not confirmed: 82 shares of balance changes are unexplained, more than 1% of the starting stake (3,526)); Kirk Walters (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Neeraj Singh (not confirmed: a balance includes unvested units in an undisclosed amount, and no grant is visible to bound it); Jeremy Jacobs Jr. (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$26.4M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $26.4M across 116,641 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($15.3M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $15.3M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $8.9M of it is John Barnes. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: John Barnes, Feb 9, 2026

Taxes

147,946 shares ($32.8M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Kirk Walters: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 3,922 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: +3,922 shares on Feb 3, 2026 (Direct). Filing, Feb 3, 2026

Rene Jones: minor difference of 173 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Kevin Pearson: minor difference of 100 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

John Taylor: minor difference of 32 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Michael Wisler: minor difference of 151 shares. Footnotes say what happened but give no amount, so the amounts are derived from the balance changes: 151.467 shares from stock units or awards that vested.

Rudina Seseri: minor difference of 82 shares. Unexplained small increases, consistent with stock unit vesting or reinvested dividends.

Inferred rename: "Daughter" is treated as the same holder as "Daughter #1", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (867 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "ESOP" is treated as the same holder as "IRA", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (7,917 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "401(k)" is treated as the same holder as "401(k) Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (8 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "401(k)" is treated as the same holder as "IRA", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (575 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "ommon Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Neil Hosty, 790 shares): old title, new title

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology3,642 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 3,642 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for M&T Bank (SEC CIK 36270) from Apr 11, 2003 to Sep 16, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 10, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 1 older filing exists only on paper and could not be read.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
