COCA COLA CO 4

Chairman James Quincey exercised Coca-Cola stock options and sold a total of 527,087 KO shares in two large, pre‑planned transactions around $90 per share while maintaining 122,833 shares in direct ownership plus additional plan-related interests.

James Quincey, Chairman of The Coca-Cola Company, exercised long‑held employee stock options at a strike price of $45.435 and immediately sold the resulting common shares in two large, pre‑planned transactions under a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan. On July 28, 2026, he exercised options for 381,140 shares at $45.435 and sold all 381,140 shares at a weighted average price of $90.0447 per share (roughly $34.3 million in gross proceeds, about $17.1 million intrinsic value), reducing his directly held common stock to 122,833 shares after that day’s sale. On July 29, 2026, he similarly exercised options for 145,947 shares at $45.435 and sold all 145,947 shares at a weighted average price of $90.0942 per share (roughly $13.1 million in gross proceeds, about $6.5 million intrinsic value), again ending with 122,833 directly held shares. In addition to his direct holdings, he has 9,101 shares held indirectly via The Coca-Cola Company 401(k) Plan and 38,392 hypothetical shares under a supplemental 401(k) plan, which are economic equivalents to common stock but reported separately. These transactions appear to be routine option exercises and associated liquidity sales, structured via a trading plan rather than discretionary market timing, with no indication of net accumulation but also leaving the Chairman with a meaningful continuing equity stake.
