[Form 4] Restaurant Brands International Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Restaurant Brands International Inc. (QSR) filed a Form 4 on 10 July 2025 detailing equity activity for Chief People & Services Officer Jeffrey Housman on 8 July 2025. No open-market buying or selling occurred; the filing primarily records routine incentive-based grants and dividend-equivalent accruals.

• Direct common-share ownership: 144,929.0864 shares outstanding after the transactions.
• Exchangeable units: 431 units, convertible 1-for-1 into QSR common shares with no expiration.
• Fully vested options: 70,000 options at strike prices of $55.55, $58.44 and $66.31, expiring between 2027-2030.
• New awards dated 08-Jul-25:
  • RSUs: 30.2977, 45.8892, 70.985 and 67.1768 units, vesting annually through 2028.
  • PSUs: 217.6027 (2023 PBRSUs), 252.7679 (2024 PSUs) and 304.075 (2025 PBRSUs); performance periods end 2025-2028 with single-date vesting.
• Dividend-equivalent rights increased fractional share counts on the underlying RSUs/PSUs.

All items are coded "A" (awarded) rather than "S" (sale) or "P" (purchase), indicating compensation grants with no immediate cash flow or public-float impact. The awards further tie executive pay to long-term performance, but their small absolute size relative to the company’s ~450 million-share float suggests minimal near-term dilution or market impact.

Positive

• Performance-linked PSUs reinforce pay-for-performance alignment between management and shareholders.

Negative

• Incremental share dilution, though small, will eventually add to the outstanding share count when units settle.

Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

TL;DR – Routine long-term equity grants; neutral governance impact.

The Form 4 shows standard compensation activity: RSUs, PSUs and accrued dividend equivalents granted to a senior officer. All grants carry multi-year vesting or performance hurdles, consistent with best-practice pay-for-performance structures. No discretionary cash bonuses or option repricings are present. Because the aggregate number of shares (sub-100 k) is immaterial to QSR’s capital base, governance risk is low. Absent sales, the filing signals continued insider alignment but does not constitute a bullish trading signal.

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR – No buy/sell signal; grants unlikely to move valuation.

From a portfolio standpoint the filing is informational only. Share count added via new RSU/PSU awards is de minimis relative to QSR’s market cap, and the option strikes sit near historical trading ranges, implying at-the-money incentives rather than deep discounts. Lack of insider buying keeps the read-through neutral; likewise, absence of disposals avoids a negative interpretation. Investors can largely ignore this event when modeling dilution or insider sentiment.
