AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · UnitedHealth (UNH)

UnitedHealth amends Hemsley stock option, adds share holding requirement to May 14, 2030

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 shareholder Written later

UnitedHealth's Compensation and Human Resources Committee amended a stock option granted to CEO Stephen Hemsley on May 14, 2025. The amendment adds a requirement that Hemsley hold net shares acquired on exercise until May 14, 2030, except in cases of death or disability. The filing says all other terms of the option are unchanged, so the change mainly affects how long the executive must keep shares he receives from the option.

Key points

  • Committee amended the stock option granted to Stephen Hemsley on May 14, 2025, on February 23, 2026
  • Amendment adds a two-year share holding requirement after a three-year cliff vesting
  • Hemsley must hold net shares from exercise until May 14, 2030, except in death or disability
