Burkhardt Erika, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at Yum! Brands (YUM), has filed 41 Form 4 transactions, all in a single company, with a clear dispositional bias. Over the tracked period, her total open-market sales reached $882,039.48, while she recorded zero open-market purchases. The most significant activity occurred on November 5, 2025, when she executed a large open-market sale of $189,550.53 alongside a $419,029.76 disposition back to the issuer (code D), which was paired with an option exercise (code M) valued at $418,989.51—a mechanical transaction that supplied the shares sold. This pattern, where exercises are immediately followed by sales, indicates a monetization of vested equity rather than a buildup of a long-term position.
The most recent filings, dated February 10, 2026, show no discretionary selling. Instead, they consist of option exercises (code M) totaling $99,598.95 and shares withheld to cover tax obligations (code F) worth $28,116.45. These are automatic, non-discretionary events tied to equity compensation. Earlier in February, she received four grants (code A) with a value of $0, reflecting standard restricted stock or performance unit awards. The absence of any open-market purchases (code P) across all 41 filings, combined with the November 2025 sale of roughly $608,580 in combined open-market and issuer dispositions, points to a consistent pattern of reducing equity exposure through planned sales and tax-driven withholdings, rather than accumulating shares.
