[Form 4] MILLER HERMAN INC Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Caterpillar (CAT) Form 4 – CFO Andrew R. J. Bonfield

On 07/17/2025 the CFO exercised two tranches of employee stock options, acquiring a total of 37,497 shares (14,186 at $196.70, exp. 03/07/2032; 23,311 at $253.98, exp. 03/06/2033). Simultaneously, he effected two F-code transactions—typically tax-related sales—disposing of 27,479 shares at $416.39 per share.

Post-transaction direct ownership stands at 65,422 CAT shares. One 2022 option grant is now fully exercised (zero remaining), while 11,655 options from the 2023 grant remain outstanding.

The filing results in a net increase of roughly 10,000 shares to the CFO’s direct stake, indicating ongoing alignment with shareholders, although the concurrent sales partially monetize gains at an all-time-high price level. Activity appears routine and does not alter control or capital structure.

Positive

• Net increase of ~10,000 shares to CFO’s direct ownership, indicating continued alignment with shareholders.
• Full exercise of 2022 option grant eliminates overhang and shows confidence in long-term value.

Negative

• Disposition of 27,479 shares at record highs may be viewed as profit-taking.
• Remaining unexercised options (11,655 shares) still represent potential future dilution.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine option exercise; modest net share increase; limited signalling value.

The CFO converted deep-in-the-money options worth ~$12–15 m and sold 27.5 k shares, retaining 65 k shares and 11.7 k options. Net purchase of ~10 k shares is small versus his total exposure and CAT’s 512 m shares O/S, so market impact should be negligible. The mixed buy/sell pattern is typical for tax and liquidity management. No change to corporate outlook, leverage or guidance; therefore I classify the event as neutral for valuation.

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR: Insider activity neutral-to-slightly negative; sale magnitude overshadows net add.

While Bonfield’s net position rises, the headline sale of 27 k shares at $416 could be interpreted as profit-taking near highs, possibly dampening short-term sentiment. Still, his remaining stake (~$27 m) keeps him meaningfully aligned. Given CAT’s daily volume (~3 m shares), trade size is immaterial. I regard the disclosure as non-impactful for portfolio weighting decisions.
