Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sarah Hofstetter, a director of Campbell's Co (CPB), reported acquiring 1,296.18 units of Phantom Stock on 09/25/2025.

Following this transaction, Hofstetter beneficially owns 27,317.58 shares equivalent, which includes 310.54 shares acquired through dividend reinvestment since her last report. The reported acquisition was coded as an acquisition (A) at a $0 price because these are phantom units, not open-market purchases.

Insights

TL;DR Director received fully vested phantom shares equivalent to 1,296.18 common shares, increasing reported beneficial ownership.

The filing documents a non-cash grant of 1,296.18 Phantom Stock units that are fully vested and payable in cash under the Supplemental Retirement Plan upon termination events. Because these are phantom units paid in cash rather than newly issued common shares, there is no immediate dilution to shareholders. The economic exposure aligns the director with company equity performance, though payout timing depends on future employment termination or retirement.

TL;DR A routine, vested supplemental retirement-plan grant reported under Section 16; disclosure is standard and non-material to capital structure.

The Form 4 transparently discloses the nature, vesting, and payout mechanism of the phantom shares and reconciles the post-transaction beneficial ownership total. The inclusion of 310.54 dividend-reinvested shares shows ongoing passive accumulation. This appears to be an administrative compensation-related transaction rather than a strategic change in insider holdings or control.
