Laura B. Williamson, President of LongHorn Steakhouse, has filed 46 Form 4 transactions with the SEC, all involving a single issuer: Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI). The aggregate pattern is decisively one-sided: she has recorded zero open-market purchases and zero acquisitions of shares for cash, while her total open-market sales reached $1,217,967.27. The most recent selling activity occurred on July 30, 2025, when she disposed of DRI stock in two transactions valued at $107,032.11 and $236,835.47, respectively. No open-market buys have been reported in the recent window, and her last two actionable trades were both sales.
The bulk of her filings, however, are not discretionary trades. A dense cluster of transactions dated July 26–29, 2026, consists of code "A" grants (compensation awards with no cash value), code "M" option exercises (mechanical conversions), and code "F" shares withheld to cover tax obligations. The "F" transactions on those dates ranged from roughly $5,889 to $41,029, reflecting automatic withholding rather than a directional bet. A similar pattern appears in late July 2025, with option exercises paired with tax-withholding sales. The only true open-market sales—the "S" codes—occurred on July 30, 2025, and represent the entirety of her $1.22 million sell total.
The data shows a clear sell-side bias in discretionary activity, but it is modest in scale relative to her overall filing history. The 2026 transactions are overwhelmingly administrative: grants, exercises, and tax withholdings, with no new cash sales. The absence of any "P" (purchase) codes across all 46 filings indicates Williamson has not added to her DRI position on the open market during the covered period. Her recent activity is dominated by routine equity compensation mechanics, while the only deliberate market transactions—the July 2025 sales—point to a gradual reduction of her stake rather than a concentrated exit.
