Insights

Governance & Compensation Analyst

Routine Form 4: small ESPP buy; long-dated LTIP grant.

Nikhil Chaudhri reported buying 150 Common Shares via the ESPP at $113.93, bringing direct holdings to 418 shares. The filing also lists 549,874 LTIP Units, designed as profits interests in Welltower OP LLC, potentially convertible and redeemable for Common Shares in scheduled quarterly installments between 2030 and 2035, subject to conditions.

The paired 549,874 Other Stock Units serve solely to reserve shares for any future OP Unit redemptions and cannot be used otherwise; any unused balance will be canceled. Actual share issuance depends on future conversion and redemption, award terms, and tax allocation thresholds.

Near-term impact appears limited given the long redemption window and conditional mechanics. The disclosed ESPP purchase is modest; dilution, if any, would unfold over time through redemptions.

The LTIP Units are convertible, conditioned upon the satisfaction of minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, into Class A Common Units in Welltower OP ("OP Units").
