Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR Routine insider 401(k) contribution and a small open-market sale; not a material change in beneficial ownership.

The Form 4 shows an employee plan contribution of 1,543 shares on 08/28/2025 credited at $0, consistent with internal fund accounting for the Brinker Common Stock Fund under the company 401(k). The following day a sale of 1,152 shares at $153.96 reduced holdings to 44,332 shares. These transactions appear administrative and routine: the acquisition increased holdings modestly while the sale represented ~2.5% of pre-transaction holdings (45,484 prior to sale). There is no derivative activity reported and no indication of unusual timing or size relative to reported total holdings.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR Insider filings document routine plan-based acquisition and a small disposition; governance disclosure appears complete.
