[Form 4] Cathay General Bancorp Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

General Mills, Inc. (GIS) – Form 4 insider filing

Chairman & CEO Jeffrey L. Harmening reported a single transaction dated 06/28/2025 involving the company’s common stock. The filing shows a Code F disposition of 28,034 shares at an indicated price of $50.52 per share. Code F denotes shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax obligations upon the vesting of equity awards, rather than an open-market sale.

After the withholding, Harmening retains:

• 383,193.0191 shares held directly
• 312,620 shares held indirectly through a trust
• 7,550 shares held indirectly through a second trust

No derivative securities were acquired or disposed of, and there were no additional transaction codes disclosed. The filing was signed on 07/01/2025 by attorney-in-fact Christopher A. Rauschl.

Given the routine nature of a tax-withholding transaction and Harmening’s continued substantial ownership, the market impact is expected to be minimal.

Positive

• CEO retains substantial ownership of 383,193 direct shares plus additional trust holdings, sustaining alignment with shareholders.

Negative

• 28,034 shares were disposed (withheld for taxes) at $50.52, modestly reducing the CEO’s direct share count.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine tax-withholding; no strategic signal.

The Form 4 reveals a Code F disposal, meaning the shares were withheld by General Mills to cover withholding taxes on vested equity. Such transactions are largely administrative and do not indicate a personal decision to reduce exposure. The CEO continues to hold more than 380k shares directly and over 320k indirectly, maintaining significant alignment with shareholder interests. No derivatives or open-market sales appear, so liquidity or directional sentiment implications are negligible.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Insider retains sizable stake; governance posture unchanged.

From a governance standpoint, the filing is standard. Harmening’s large retained holdings support incentive alignment, and the absence of discretionary selling limits concerns about adverse signalling. The prompt and accurate filing also reflects compliance with Section 16 reporting obligations. Overall impact on governance risk profile is neutral.
