AUTOZONE INC 4

Sr. Vice President Dennis W. LeRiche exercised 1,455 AutoZone options at $1,060.81 and sold 1,455 AutoZone common shares at about $3,100, leaving 441.1617 shares owned directly.

On August 7, 2026, AutoZone Inc. Sr. Vice President Dennis W. LeRiche exercised a non-qualified stock option for 1,455 shares of AutoZone common stock at an exercise price of $1,060.81 per share and received the shares, increasing his direct common stock holdings to 1,896.1617 shares. On the same day, he executed a related sale of 1,455 shares of common stock at approximately $3,100.00 per share, reducing his direct ownership to 441.1617 shares after the sale. The transactions appear to be a classic exercise-and-sell (or exercise-and-sell-to-cover) pattern, where options granted under the Amended and Restated AutoZone, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Award Plan—originally exercisable in quarterly tranches from October 7, 2020 through October 7, 2023—were exercised and substantially monetized, resulting in a significant cash realization while leaving a smaller residual equity position. Based on the sale price relative to the current market snapshot (about $3,068 per share), the reported $3,100 sale price is consistent with prevailing trading levels at the time of the Form 4, and the remaining stake still represents a seven-figure holding at current prices.
