Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (CBRL) – Form 4 insider filing
CEO and Director Julie D. Masino reported a Code F transaction on 08/07/2025, indicating 688 common shares were withheld at $57.58 each to cover federal tax obligations arising from the vesting of a previously granted equity award. No open-market sale occurred. Following the withholding, Masino’s direct ownership stands at 47,010 shares.
Because the shares were surrendered for taxes—rather than sold for personal liquidity—the filing is generally viewed as administrative and low-impact. The reduction represents roughly 1.4% of Masino’s reported holdings and <0.03% of CBRL’s outstanding shares, leaving her overall equity stake largely intact.
