GISGeneral Mills · Insider ownership research

General Mills insiders sold $1.2M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

About 1.8% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest individual seller, Jacqueline Williams-Roll, sold shares equal to 17% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. These figures leave out Jeffrey Harmening, the largest holder (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled).

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Sep 29, 2026Jorge Uribe had 560 shares ($19K) withheld by the company for taxes (not a market sale). That is 1.2% of the total stake held that day. 5.3K shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so the holding rose by 4.8K net.

Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $1.9M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $1.2M sold on the open market. The largest was Jeffrey Harmening ($890K withheld).Largest withholding, Jun 30, 2026

Percentages cover 20 of 27 officers and directors. 7 are left out

Left out: Jeffrey Harmening, Ricardo Fernandez, Paul Gallagher, Pankaj Sharma, Werner Shaffer and Mark Pallot (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Joan Bottarini (held no vested shares at the start).
Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the General Mills CEO selling stock?

No. Jeffrey Harmening reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are General Mills insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any General Mills insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did General Mills insiders sell?

About 1.8% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest individual seller, Jacqueline Williams-Roll, sold shares equal to 17% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. These figures leave out Jeffrey Harmening, the largest holder (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

21 of 27 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (11 exactly, 10 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 6 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 20 of 27 officers and directors. Left out: Jeffrey Harmening, Ricardo Fernandez, Paul Gallagher, Pankaj Sharma, Werner Shaffer and Mark Pallot (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Joan Bottarini (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$1.2M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $1.2M across 35,789 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $1.2M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $682K of it is Jacqueline Williams-Roll. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Jacqueline Williams-Roll, May 12, 2026

Taxes

51,173 shares ($1.9M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Sources and methodology2,287 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 2,287 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for General Mills (SEC CIK 40704) from May 9, 2003 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Jun 10, 2010 (first filing that shows post-split balances). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 26 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
