Form 4 snapshot: On 07/01/2025, Wendy’s (WEN) director Kristin A. Dolan received 1,156 common shares under the company’s 2020 Omnibus Award Plan, issued in lieu of her normal cash retainer for Board and committee service. The Plan sets the share price at the $11.62 average closing price across the 20 trading days preceding the payment date.
After this grant, Dolan’s direct ownership rises to 43,797 WEN shares. No derivative securities or open-market transactions were reported, indicating this is a routine, compensation-related issuance rather than a bullish discretionary purchase. Accordingly, the filing is expected to have minimal direct market impact but does marginally align director interests with shareholders through additional equity exposure.
