On July 29, 2026, Susan M. Connelly, SVP, Chief Communications & PA Officer of Darden Restaurants Inc., sold 2,226 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of approximately $208.17 per share for proceeds of about $463,000, reducing her directly held common stock position to 4,165.301 shares (worth roughly $863,000 at the current price). On the same date, she received an FY27 annual grant of 749 restricted stock units, which will convert into an equal number of common shares upon vesting, and she was granted a stock option for 2,209 shares at an exercise price of $212.23 per share, vesting in two equal annual installments beginning July 29, 2029; both equity awards are currently valued at an estimated $155,000 (RSUs, based on current price) and have potential intrinsic value only if the share price exceeds the option strike price. Overall, the filing reflects a mix of discretionary selling and routine long-term incentive compensation grants, leaving her with a meaningful continuing equity stake in the company.
