HERSHEY CO 4

Hershey Trust Co., as trustee for Milton Hershey School, sold 19,000 shares of Hershey Co. common stock on the open market for about $3.3 million, modestly trimming its large ownership stake.

On September 3–4, 2026, Hershey Trust Co., acting as trustee in trust for Milton Hershey School, reported a series of open‑market sales of The Hershey Company common stock totaling 19,000 shares at weighted average prices between approximately $172.45 and $176.16 per share, generating proceeds of roughly $3.3 million. These dispositions reduced the direct trust-held common stock position from about 874,453 shares to 856,119 shares, while the trust also reports indirect ownership of 39,630 additional common shares and a very large direct holding of 54,612,012 Class B common shares, which are convertible share-for-share into common stock with no expiration. The transactions appear to be portfolio management sales by the controlling shareholder trust rather than compensation-related activity, leaving the trust with a substantial residual economic stake in Hershey.
