Tax Calculation Correction Adjusts Crawford & Co CEO's Share Count

According to the amended filing, the original Form 4 submitted on August 20, 2026, contained an error in tax calculations related to a share-withholding transaction. The amendment states that the correction "decreased the number of shares withheld for the Reporting Person by 137 shares and increased the number of beneficially owned shares by 137, to 369,589." The underlying transaction itself - a disposition of 54,315 shares of Class A Common Stock at $13.29 per share under transaction code F - remains as originally reported.

Transaction code F denotes shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy a tax obligation in connection with the vesting or exercise of an equity award, according to SEC Form 4 instruction conventions reflected in the filing. The shares were disposed of directly by Swain, and his resulting ownership is recorded as direct. No indirect ownership or derivative securities were reported in the amended filing.

Crawford & Company lists two share classes in the issuer field of the filing, identified as tickers CRDA and CRDB, both traded on the NYSE. Swain is identified in the filing as both a Director and as CEO & President of the company, whose address is listed as 5335 Triangle Pkwy, Peachtree Corners, Georgia 30092. The amendment was signed by William B. Swain on September 3, 2026.
