MKCMcCormick & Company · Insider ownership research

McCormick & Company insiders sold $25.0M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

About 17% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest seller whose stake can be measured, Brendan Foley, sold shares equal to 52% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. These figures leave out Lawrence Kurzius, the largest holder (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead).

"% 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? More than usual: about 2.9x the 5-year average. 4 insiders sold; the average is 6 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 McCormick & Company CEO selling stock?

Yes. Brendan Foley sold 57K shares ($3.7M, 52% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are McCormick & Company 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 McCormick & Company insiders buying?

Yes. 2 officers or directors reported 3 purchases in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P; rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust are not counted).

How much of their stake did McCormick & Company insiders sell?

About 17% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest seller whose stake can be measured, Brendan Foley, sold shares equal to 52% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. These figures leave out Lawrence Kurzius, the largest holder (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). 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 24 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (18 exactly, 4 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 2 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 18 of 24 officers and directors. Left out: Lawrence Kurzius (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Marcos Gabriel and Sades Gomez (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Katherine Jenkins, Richard Dierker and Cindy Hoots (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$25.0M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $25.0M across 416,696 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $25.0M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $20.3M of it is Lawrence Kurzius. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Lawrence Kurzius, Aug 10, 2026

Taxes

50,626 shares ($3.5M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Purchases · 2 buyers (3 trades)

2 officers and directors bought shares in this period, in 3 trades(Form 4 code P, leaving out rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust). Across all their filings on record there are 9 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.

Inferred rename: "McCormick 401(k) Plan" is treated as the same holder as "401(k) Retirement Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (18,803 shares). Old name, new name

Sources and methodology3,067 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 3,067 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for McCormick & Company (SEC CIK 63754) from Dec 9, 2002 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 58 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Nov 30, 2020 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 32 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".
