Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: The $0.79 million transaction value represents a negligible 0.15% of HarborOne's $530 million market capitalization.
• Ownership Concentration: The transaction reduced the director's ownership to zero, which is an expected outcome of the company being acquired.
• Transaction Significance: The transaction's significance is low as it is a mandatory conversion of shares due to a merger, not a discretionary trade. The 'D' transaction code signifies a disposition exempt from Section 16(b).
