Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Insider activity: On 07/29/2025, Select Medical Holdings (SEM) Executive Chairman & Director Robert A. Ortenzio received 250,000 restricted shares at $0. The grant vests in three equal annual installments over the next three years.

Post-transaction, Ortenzio owns 7,081,788 shares directly and 2,120,245 shares indirectly through family trusts, for total exposure of roughly 9.2 million shares. No shares were sold and no options or other derivatives were involved.

The award modestly dilutes shareholders (≈0.18% of SEM’s 136 m shares outstanding) but reinforces insider alignment as the founder increases his stake without cash outflow.

Attività degli insider: Il 29/07/2025, Robert A. Ortenzio, Presidente Esecutivo e Direttore di Select Medical Holdings (SEM), ha ricevuto 250.000 azioni vincolate a prezzo zero. La concessione si acquisisce in tre rate annuali uguali nei prossimi tre anni.

Dopo la transazione, Ortenzio possiede 7.081.788 azioni direttamente e 2.120.245 azioni indirettamente tramite trust familiari, per un'esposizione totale di circa 9,2 milioni di azioni. Non sono state vendute azioni né coinvolti opzioni o altri derivati.

Il premio diluisce modestamente gli azionisti (circa lo 0,18% delle 136 milioni di azioni SEM in circolazione) ma rafforza l’allineamento degli insider, dato che il fondatore aumenta la sua partecipazione senza esborso di denaro.

Actividad de los insiders: El 29/07/2025, Robert A. Ortenzio, Presidente Ejecutivo y Director de Select Medical Holdings (SEM), recibió 250.000 acciones restringidas a precio cero. La concesión se consolida en tres cuotas anuales iguales durante los próximos tres años.

Tras la transacción, Ortenzio posee 7.081.788 acciones directamente y 2.120.245 acciones indirectamente a través de fideicomisos familiares, con una exposición total de aproximadamente 9,2 millones de acciones. No se vendieron acciones ni se involucraron opciones u otros derivados.

La concesión diluye ligeramente a los accionistas (≈0,18% de las 136 millones de acciones en circulación de SEM), pero refuerza la alineación interna, ya que el fundador incrementa su participación sin desembolso de efectivo.

내부자 활동: 2025년 7월 29일, Select Medical Holdings(SEM)의 집행 의장 겸 이사인 Robert A. Ortenzio는 0달러에 250,000개의 제한 주식을 받았습니다. 이 보상은 향후 3년에 걸쳐 세 번에 나누어 균등하게 취득됩니다.

거래 후 Ortenzio는 직접 7,081,788주와 가족 신탁을 통해 간접적으로 2,120,245주를 보유하여 총 약 920만 주의 지분을 보유하게 됩니다. 주식 매도나 옵션, 기타 파생상품은 없었습니다.

이 보상은 주주 지분을 소폭 희석시키지만(SEM의 발행 주식 1억 3,600만 주 중 약 0.18%), 창립자가 현금 유출 없이 지분을 늘리며 내부자 이해관계를 강화합니다.

Activité des initiés : Le 29/07/2025, Robert A. Ortenzio, Président exécutif et administrateur de Select Medical Holdings (SEM), a reçu 250 000 actions restreintes à 0 $. La subvention se libère en trois versements annuels égaux sur les trois prochaines années.

Après la transaction, Ortenzio détient 7 081 788 actions directement et 2 120 245 actions indirectement via des trusts familiaux, pour une exposition totale d’environ 9,2 millions d’actions. Aucune action n’a été vendue et aucune option ni autre dérivé n’a été utilisé.

Cette attribution dilue légèrement les actionnaires (≈0,18 % des 136 millions d’actions en circulation de SEM) mais renforce l’alignement des initiés, le fondateur augmentant sa participation sans sortie de trésorerie.

Insider-Aktivitäten: Am 29.07.2025 erhielt Robert A. Ortenzio, Executive Chairman & Director von Select Medical Holdings (SEM), 250.000 eingeschränkte Aktien zum Preis von 0 $. Die Zuteilung wird über die nächsten drei Jahre in drei gleichen jährlichen Tranchen übertragen.

Nach der Transaktion besitzt Ortenzio 7.081.788 Aktien direkt und 2.120.245 Aktien indirekt über Familienstiftungen, was einer Gesamtposition von etwa 9,2 Millionen Aktien entspricht. Es wurden keine Aktien verkauft und keine Optionen oder andere Derivate genutzt.

Die Zuteilung verwässert die Aktionäre leicht (≈0,18 % von SEMs 136 Millionen ausstehenden Aktien), stärkt jedoch die Interessenbindung der Insider, da der Gründer seine Beteiligung ohne Kapitaleinsatz erhöht.

Positive
  • Founder/executive increases direct ownership by 250,000 shares through a multi-year restricted-stock grant, aligning incentives with shareholders.
  • Dilution is minor (~0.18% of share count), limiting negative impact on existing holders.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Restricted-stock grant to founder; positive alignment signal, immaterial dilution.

The Form 4 shows Robert A. Ortenzio adding 250 k restricted shares that vest over three years. Because the grant is at no cost and has a multi-year vesting schedule, it ties the Executive Chairman’s incentives closely to long-term performance. Direct holdings rise to 7.1 m shares—about 5.2% of shares outstanding—while total economic exposure tops 9 m. The incremental dilution (~0.18%) is negligible for investors. Historically, insider purchases or awards that increase ownership, especially by founders, are interpreted as a constructive signal. However, because this is a routine equity-compensation action rather than an open-market buy, market impact should be limited.
