Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 reports routine equity-award settlements by Douglas J. Milanes, SVP & Chief Supply Chain Officer of Darden Restaurants (DRI), on 27-28 Jul 2025.

  • Vesting events (Code M): 3,000 FY23 performance RSUs, 1,500 FY23 annual RSUs and 1,472 FY22 performance RSUs converted into common stock at a $0 exercise price, adding 5,972 shares.
  • Tax withholding sales (Code F): 591, 1,181 and 580 shares were automatically sold at $204.48 to cover taxes, reducing the net addition by 2,352 shares.
  • Post-transaction position: Milanes now directly owns 3,795.048 shares, a net increase of 620 shares across the two-day period. He still holds 3,000 unvested FY23 performance RSUs.

The transactions were automatic and carry no open-market buying signal. They modestly raise insider ownership but are unlikely to be financially material to Darden or its valuation.

Il modulo 4 riporta le operazioni ordinarie di regolamento di premi azionari da parte di Douglas J. Milanes, SVP e Chief Supply Chain Officer di Darden Restaurants (DRI), effettuate il 27-28 luglio 2025.

  • Eventi di maturazione (Codice M): 3.000 RSU performance FY23, 1.500 RSU annuali FY23 e 1.472 RSU performance FY22 convertiti in azioni ordinarie a un prezzo di esercizio di 0$, per un totale di 5.972 azioni aggiunte.
  • Vendite per ritenuta fiscale (Codice F): 591, 1.181 e 580 azioni sono state vendute automaticamente a 204,48$ per coprire le tasse, riducendo l'incremento netto di 2.352 azioni.
  • Posizione post-transazione: Milanes detiene ora direttamente 3.795,048 azioni, con un incremento netto di 620 azioni nel periodo di due giorni. Rimangono in suo possesso 3.000 RSU performance FY23 non maturate.

Le transazioni sono state automatiche e non rappresentano un segnale di acquisto sul mercato aperto. Aumentano leggermente la partecipazione interna ma probabilmente non avranno un impatto finanziario rilevante per Darden o sulla sua valutazione.

  • Eventos de consolidación (Código M): 3,000 RSU de desempeño FY23, 1,500 RSU anuales FY23 y 1,472 RSU de desempeño FY22 convertidos en acciones comunes a un precio de ejercicio de $0, sumando 5,972 acciones.
  • Ventas por retención fiscal (Código F): 591, 1,181 y 580 acciones fueron vendidas automáticamente a $204.48 para cubrir impuestos, reduciendo la adición neta en 2,352 acciones.
  • Posición tras la transacción: Milanes posee ahora directamente 3,795.048 acciones, un aumento neto de 620 acciones en el período de dos días. Aún mantiene 3,000 RSU de desempeño FY23 no consolidadas.

Las transacciones fueron automáticas y no representan una señal de compra en el mercado abierto. Incrementan ligeramente la propiedad interna pero es poco probable que sean materialmente significativas para Darden o su valoración.

양식 4는 2025년 7월 27~28일에 Darden Restaurants(DRI)의 SVP 겸 최고 공급망 책임자인 Douglas J. Milanes의 정기 주식 보상 정산을 보고합니다.

  • 베스팅 이벤트(코드 M): FY23 성과 RSU 3,000주, FY23 연간 RSU 1,500주, FY22 성과 RSU 1,472주가 행사가격 0달러로 보통주로 전환되어 총 5,972주가 추가되었습니다.
  • 세금 원천징수 매도(코드 F): 591주, 1,181주, 580주가 자동으로 주당 204.48달러에 매도되어 세금을 충당, 순증가는 2,352주 감소했습니다.
  • 거래 후 보유 현황: Milanes는 현재 직접 3,795.048주를 보유 중이며, 2일간 순증가는 620주입니다. 아직 3,000주의 미베스팅 FY23 성과 RSU를 보유하고 있습니다.

이 거래들은 자동으로 이루어졌으며 공개 시장에서의 매수 신호가 아닙니다. 내부자 보유를 소폭 증가시키지만 Darden이나 그 가치 평가에 재무적으로 중요한 영향은 없을 것으로 보입니다.

Le formulaire 4 rapporte des règlements habituels de primes en actions par Douglas J. Milanes, SVP et Chief Supply Chain Officer de Darden Restaurants (DRI), les 27 et 28 juillet 2025.

  • Événements d'acquisition (Code M) : 3 000 RSU de performance FY23, 1 500 RSU annuelles FY23 et 1 472 RSU de performance FY22 converties en actions ordinaires à un prix d'exercice de 0$, ajoutant 5 972 actions.
  • Ventes pour retenue fiscale (Code F) : 591, 1 181 et 580 actions ont été vendues automatiquement à 204,48$ pour couvrir les impôts, réduisant l'ajout net de 2 352 actions.
  • Position après transaction : Milanes détient désormais directement 3 795,048 actions, soit une augmentation nette de 620 actions sur la période de deux jours. Il détient toujours 3 000 RSU de performance FY23 non acquises.

Les transactions étaient automatiques et ne constituent pas un signal d'achat sur le marché ouvert. Elles augmentent légèrement la détention d'initiés mais sont peu susceptibles d'avoir un impact financier significatif sur Darden ou sa valorisation.

Formular 4 meldet routinemäßige Abwicklungen von Aktienprämien durch Douglas J. Milanes, SVP und Chief Supply Chain Officer von Darden Restaurants (DRI), am 27. und 28. Juli 2025.

  • Vesting-Ereignisse (Code M): 3.000 Performance-RSUs FY23, 1.500 jährliche RSUs FY23 und 1.472 Performance-RSUs FY22 wurden zu einem Ausübungspreis von 0$ in Stammaktien umgewandelt, was 5.972 Aktien hinzufügt.
  • Steuerabzugsverkäufe (Code F): 591, 1.181 und 580 Aktien wurden automatisch zu 204,48$ verkauft, um Steuern zu decken, wodurch der Nettozuwachs um 2.352 Aktien reduziert wurde.
  • Position nach der Transaktion: Milanes besitzt nun direkt 3.795,048 Aktien, ein Nettozuwachs von 620 Aktien über den Zeitraum von zwei Tagen. Er hält weiterhin 3.000 nicht vestete FY23 Performance-RSUs.

Die Transaktionen waren automatisch und stellen kein Kaufsignal am offenen Markt dar. Sie erhöhen den Insiderbesitz leicht, dürften aber finanziell für Darden oder dessen Bewertung nicht wesentlich sein.

Positive
  • Net insider ownership rose by 620 shares, indicating retention of a majority of vested awards.
  • 3,000 FY23 performance RSUs remain unvested, maintaining future alignment between the executive and shareholders.
Negative
  • 2,352 shares were automatically sold to satisfy tax obligations, slightly offsetting the ownership increase.
  • Transactions were award-related, not open-market purchases, thus providing little insight into the insider’s valuation view.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine vesting; modest net share increase; neutral market signal.

All activity stems from scheduled RSU/PSU vesting. Cashless tax sales prevent any capital outlay, while the insider retains most shares, lifting direct ownership to roughly 3.8k. Such modest increases rarely indicate a directional view on DRI’s valuation, so market impact is negligible.

TL;DR: Compliance aligned, no red flags; insider still holds unvested awards.

The filing shows standard Section 16 reporting with appropriate tax-withholding mechanics. Continued holding of 3,000 unvested PSUs keeps management incentives aligned with shareholders. No discretionary selling occurred, so governance risk remains low.
