Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-27; reported on Form 4 filed 2026-01-29 (timely filing).
• Instrument: 4,026 restricted stock units (RSUs) reported at $0.00 per unit.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: Automatic grant under the General Mills, Inc. 2022 Stock Compensation Plan. Each RSU vests on the date of the next annual meeting and represents a contingent right to receive one share of General Mills common stock (subject to plan terms).

Context

• RSU grants to directors are routine compensation and do not involve an immediate cash purchase or sale. The RSUs convert to actual shares only if and when they vest; their ultimate value depends on the company’s share price at vesting. This award is a standard, automatic board compensation event rather than an explicit bullish or bearish trading signal.
