Form 4 highlights for The Kroger Co. (KR) filed 14 Jul 2025:
- Reporting person: Director Clyde R. Moore.
- Sale: 26,814 common shares on 11 Jul 2025 at a weighted-average $70.50 (price range $70.305-$70.735), generating roughly $1.9 million in proceeds.
- Gift: 12,250 common shares on the same date (code “G”, no consideration).
- Post-transaction ownership: 86,893 shares held directly, down from an estimated 125,957 shares before the transactions—an overall reduction of about 31 % of Moore’s stake.
- No derivative security activity was reported.
The filing shows a meaningful, though not controlling, reduction in the director’s personal exposure to KR equity. Investors often monitor insider sales for sentiment signals, but the combination of a sale and a charitable/other gift tempers interpretation. Moore remains a substantial shareholder with 86.9 k shares.
Form 4 filing: Vice President & Controller Brian W. Nichols reported a single code “F” transaction on 11 Jul 2025. A code F event reflects shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax obligations related to equity compensation. Nichols disposed of 97 Kroger (KR) common shares at $70.58, a market value of roughly $6,846. Following the withholding, he directly owns 10,376 shares. No derivative securities were involved. Given the very small size of the transaction—representing an immaterial fraction of Kroger’s outstanding shares—the filing is considered routine and non-material for investors.
