Securities/Corporate Transactions Analyst

TL;DR: Routine insider sale notice for newly vested equity; documents compliance with Rule 144 disclosure requirements.

The Form 144 notifies the brokered sale of 21,367 newly vested Cardinal Health common shares, specifying the vesting dates and vesting types (performance and restricted stock). The filing identifies the broker (Merrill Lynch) and the proposed sale date (08/20/2025). From a transactions perspective this is a standard disclosure enabling a registered broker to effect a sale under Rule 144; it does not itself confirm execution of the sale or indicate other material corporate developments.

Corporate Governance / Insider Trading Specialist

TL;DR: Disclosure meets procedural requirements; raises routine governance considerations around timing and trading plans.

The filer represents no undisclosed material adverse information and the form references Rule 10b5-1 plan adoption or instructions as applicable. The details provided (acquisition by vesting on 08/15/2025, proposed sale on 08/20/2025, broker identified) are consistent with standard insider liquidity events following equity award vesting. The filing is informational; any governance implications depend on context not provided here (e.g., existence and adoption date of a trading plan).
