Mondelez International stock: CEO sale follows option exercise

Mondelez International CEO Dirk Van de Put exercised options and sold 129,285 Class A shares on November 2, according to an amended Form 4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6. The filing adds the option exercise that was omitted from the original Form 4 submitted on November 3.

The report was covered by StockTitan, which reproduces the amended filing. It identifies Van de Put as Mondelez's chief executive officer and director.

Planned sale follows option exercise

The options were exercised at 43.51 dollars per share. Van de Put then sold the same 129,285 shares at a weighted average price of 66.04 dollars, with individual sales ranging from 66.00 dollars to 66.27 dollars.

The filing says both transactions were made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on May 15, 2026. It also states that the options became fully exercisable on February 22, 2021 and expire on February 22, 2028.

After the transactions, Van de Put directly held 1,326,488 Class A shares, while 129,285 rights to buy Class A shares remained outstanding. A planned insider transaction does not by itself establish management's view of the company's operating outlook.

What the filing means for investors

For investors, the amended filing clarifies the structure of the transaction rather than providing a new earnings forecast. The exercise-and-sale sequence generated a disclosed spread before taxes, but the filing does not link the trade to Mondelez's business performance or future guidance.

Mondelez stock traded at 58.88 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:39 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026.

U.S. equity markets remain the broader reference point for Mondelez, with the S&P 500 providing the relevant market backdrop.
