Insights
TL;DR: Starboard reports a disclosed 4.1% economic stake and exercised forwards to convert an additional 4.8M shares into ownership.
The disclosure quantifies positions across multiple Starboard vehicles and provides aggregate purchase prices, improving transparency about the economic exposure to Healthcare Realty Trust (HR). The conversion of 4,826,156 BA Forward Contracts into shares materially clarifies outstanding derivative exposure and increases disclosed beneficial ownership within the group. The aggregate holding of 14.49 million shares equals 4.1% of outstanding Class A shares, below the 5% reporting threshold as of September 23, 2025, which has regulatory and governance implications. From a capital deployment perspective, the filing shows meaningful cash deployed across funds but does not include operational or earnings-related detail for HR.
TL;DR: The filing documents an organized multi-vehicle ownership with exercised forwards, and confirms the group is under the 5% beneficial-ownership level.
The Schedule 13D/A outlines the ownership structure across Starboard-controlled entities and confirms sole voting and dispositive power figures for each reporting person, which is important for assessing potential coordinated action. The elimination of the BA Forward Contracts through early settlement reduces outstanding contingent arrangements and clarifies actual share counts. The statement that the reporting persons ceased to beneficially own more than 5% as of September 23, 2025 is material for proxy and engagement expectations. The filing contains no additional arrangements, agreements or proposals regarding board representation or corporate actions.
