Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Insider reported large open‑market disposals and a small phantom stock acquisition tied to the retirement savings plan.

The report documents significant disposals of McCormick voting and non‑voting shares totaling 109,797.473 shares on 09/22/2025, with no sale price disclosed in this filing. The filing also records acquisition of 37.64 phantom stock units under the Non‑Qualified Retirement Savings Plan at $64.63 per unit, which are payable in common stock and contribute to an indirect beneficial holding of 12,058.348 shares. From a trading‑activity perspective, the combination of a substantial disposal and a nominal plan‑related acquisition is notable for volume, but the Form 4 does not include information on proceeds or whether sales were pre‑arranged; thus material financial impact cannot be determined from this filing alone.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: CEO disclosed routine plan acquisition plus a large disposal; filing documents compliance with Section 16 reporting.

The form identifies Brendan M. Foley as both an officer and reporting person and records transactions under the Non‑Qualified Retirement Savings Plan. The phantom stock acquisition is explicitly tied to plan terms and payable in shares, clarifying the nature of indirect ownership. The large dispositions are plainly reported, and the document is signed by an attorney‑in‑fact, indicating procedural compliance. The filing does not provide context such as company‑approved trading plans or reasons for the disposals, so governance implications are limited to transparency of executed transactions.
