Aveanna (AVAH) Form 4: Minor in-kind share transfers by 10% owner

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 highlights: On 07/10/2025, Paul R. Vigano, a 10% owner of Aveanna Healthcare Holdings (AVAH), reported two in-kind distributions of common stock from investment vehicles he oversees.

• 64,773 shares were distributed out of PSA Healthcare Investment Holdings LLC.
• 17,109 shares were distributed out of PSA Iliad Holdings LLC.

The transactions were coded “J,” indicating bona-fide gifts or distributions at a reported price of $0. Post-transaction, Vigano continues to hold a large indirect stake:

• 28.9 million shares via J.H. Whitney VII, L.P.
• 15.5 million shares via PSA Healthcare
• 5.18 million shares via JHW Iliad Holdings LLC
• 1.43 million shares via PSA Iliad Holdings LLC
• 0.54 million shares via JHW Iliad Holdings II LLC

The 81,882-share reduction represents <0.2% of Vigano’s reported indirect ownership and does not involve open-market sales or cash proceeds. No derivative securities were listed. Given the minimal size relative to his overall position, the filing appears neutral in investment significance.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Tiny, non-cash insider distribution; ownership still ~51 M shares—market impact negligible.

The filing records administrative transfers from two Whitney-affiliated entities to their members. Because the code “J” denotes distributions, not disposals for value, there is no signaling of price expectations. The 81.9 k shares transferred equal roughly 0.14 % of the 57 M-plus shares Vigano continues to control indirectly, so float or supply pressure is immaterial. Insider status remains at the 10 % threshold, and no derivatives were exercised or created. I classify this as routine reporting with neutral impact on AVAH’s valuation outlook.
