[Form 4] General Mills, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form Type: Form 4 (Insider transaction)
Company: Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS)
Reporting Person: Susan Crown, Director
Filing Date: 02-Jul-2025
Transaction Date: 01-Jul-2025

The filing documents a single transaction in which Director Susan Crown acquired 84.11 common-stock units at a stated price of $127.99 per unit. Following the purchase she directly owns 37,404.52 stock-unit equivalents and 18,400 common shares. In addition, Ms. Crown reports indirect holdings of 4,000 shares held in trusts for her children and 339,696 shares held through HCNI II LLC, an entity controlled by family trusts. She expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the indirectly held shares beyond her proportionate interest.

No derivative securities were transacted, and the filing contains no sales of company shares. The transaction appears to be a routine board-level acquisition—likely part of a deferred-compensation or director-fee program—given the small dollar value (~US$10.8 thousand) relative to Ms. Crown’s overall holdings and the company’s share count.

Materiality assessment: The purchase modestly increases insider direct ownership but is immaterial to Northern Trust’s capital structure and does not signal a notable change to insider sentiment on its own.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR – Very small director purchase; immaterial and neutral for valuation.

The 84-unit acquisition represents less than 0.00005 % of NTRS’s ~205 million shares outstanding and under US$11 k in value. It does not alter ownership concentration, governance dynamics or float. The absence of sales keeps the overall insider trading profile neutral-to-slightly positive, but the size is too minor to influence earnings expectations, liquidity, or market perception. I classify this filing as routine and not impactful for investors.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR – Routine compliance filing; no governance red flags detected.

Crown’s direct and indirect holdings are transparently disclosed, and she disclaims beneficial ownership where appropriate, aligning with SEC requirements. The use of Rule 10b5-1 safe-harbor language is absent, indicating the buy was not under a pre-arranged plan, yet size implies it is likely fee-deferral related. No new power-of-attorney issues arise. From a governance lens, this is standard maintenance disclosure with neutral impact.
