"% 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.

Is this normal? Less than usual: about one-fifth of the 5-year average. 5 insiders sold; the average is 7 a year. Year by year

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 Johnson Controls CEO selling stock?

No. Joakim Weidemanis reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are Johnson Controls 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 Johnson Controls insiders buying?

Yes. 1 officer or director reported 1 purchase in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P, which includes private purchases).

How much of their stake did Johnson Controls insiders sell?

About 1.1% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. 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.

22 of 25 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (4 exactly, 18 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 3 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 20 of 25 officers and directors. Left out: Lei Schlitz, Brandt Heuer and John Donofrio (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Susan Hughes and Irene Esteves (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$26.2M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $26.2M across 195,376 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $26.2M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $21.0M of it is Lei Schlitz. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Lei Schlitz, May 8, 2026

Taxes

151,358 shares ($19.4M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Purchases · 1 buyer (1 trade)

1 officer or director bought shares in this period, in 1 trade(Form 4 code P). Across all their filings on record there are 4 purchase trades.

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.

Known gaps and uncertainty3 insiders whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Lei Schlitz: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 1,667 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +1,667.25 shares on Nov 6, 2025 (Direct). Filing, Nov 6, 2025

Footnote: "The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $121.78 to $122.35 inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the issuer, any security holder of the issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote."

Brandt Heuer: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 605 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: +558.85 shares on Nov 18, 2025 (Direct). Filing, Nov 18, 2025

John Donofrio: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 333 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +334.52 shares on Dec 1, 2025 (Direct). Filing, Dec 1, 2025

Footnote: "Reflects grant of restricted share units that, subject to certain acceleration and forfeiture provisions, vest in three equal installments on each of December 7, 2026, December 7, 2027 and December 7, 2028. Restricted share units accrue dividend equivalent units and convert to ordinary shares upon vesting."

Sources and methodology1,662 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,662 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Johnson Controls (SEC CIK 833444) from Jul 11, 1996 to Aug 19, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 7 filings were left out because Johnson Controls filed them as an owner of another company's stock. 16 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 1-for-4 stock split on or before Jun 29, 2007 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 16 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".
