Director Dennis Suskind received 532 Class A common shares on 25 Jun 2025 under the CME Group Director Stock Plan.

Following the award, Suskind’s direct beneficial ownership rose to 3,447 shares, an increase of about 18%. No open-market purchases, sales, or derivative transactions were reported, and there is no indication of a 10b5-1 trading plan. The transaction represents routine director compensation and does not materially affect CME’s share count or capital structure.
Form 4 overview: On 06/25/2025 CME Group Inc. (CME) director Kathryn Benesh reported an acquisition of Class A common stock.
The filing shows a single non-derivative transaction coded “A(1),” indicating a grant under the company’s amended and restated Director Stock Plan. Benesh received 532 shares at a reference value of $273.03 per share. Following the grant, her aggregate beneficial ownership increased to 2,106.948 shares, held directly.
No derivative securities were listed and the Form 4 contains no sales, option exercises, or 10b5-1 plan activity. The grant is routine annual director compensation rather than an open-market purchase, so cash outlay by the director is not implied. While the transaction modestly aligns director and shareholder interests, it represents an immaterial fraction of CME’s ~360 million Class A shares outstanding and therefore is unlikely to affect valuation or trading dynamics.
