Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Carl Guarino, a director of SEI Investments Co. (SEIC), reported transactions on 09/23/2025 that changed his beneficial ownership. He exercised options to acquire 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $53.34 per share and concurrently sold 10,000 shares at a weighted-average sale price of $86.41 (sale prices ranged $86.08–$86.97). After these transactions, the reporting person beneficially owned 16,042 shares, down from an interim 26,042 following the exercise. The Form 4 notes the options were received as employment compensation and shows two option tranches of 5,000 shares each with an exercise price of $53.34 and expiration date 12/08/2025. The filing was signed on 09/24/2025 by an attorney-in-fact.

Positive

  • Exercise of compensation options converted stock-based pay into equity, demonstrating realized value from long-term compensation awards
  • Weighted-average sale price of $86.41 implies a positive spread versus the $53.34 exercise price

Negative

  • Beneficial ownership decreased to 16,042 shares after the sale, reducing the director's direct stake from 26,042 immediately post-exercise
  • Sale of shares may signal partial liquidity by the insider rather than additional long-term accumulation

Insights

TL;DR: Director exercised compensation options then sold an equal number of shares; routine executive compensation transaction, not a clear change in ownership stake.

The filing documents a common sequence where previously granted options (noted as employment compensation) were exercised at $53.34 and the same number of shares sold at a substantially higher weighted-average price of $86.41. The director's beneficial ownership after the reported transactions is 16,042 shares. As a governance event, this is a disclosure of routine insider liquidity converting option value to cash while retaining a residual stake; the Form 4 contains the range of sale prices and an offer to provide detail on share-by-share sale prices on request.

TL;DR: Exercise of compensation options followed by sale indicates monetization of vested equity awards at a profit relative to exercise price.

The report shows two option tranches of 5,000 shares each exercisable earlier (dated 12/31/2017 and 12/31/2018) with the same $53.34 strike, exercised on 09/23/2025. Proceeds from sales at a weighted-average of $86.41 imply a gross spread of $33.07 per share before taxes and fees. The disclosure that options were received as employment compensation clarifies the source of the exercised shares. This transaction pattern is consistent with executives realizing compensation value while maintaining partial ownership in the company.
