Ventas, Inc. (VTR) � Form 4 insider transaction

EVP & CFO Robert F. Probst exercised 29,691 fully-vested options at an exercise price of $65.45 on 08/04/2025 (code “M�) and immediately sold the same 29,691 shares at a weighted-average price of $68.4917 (code “S�) under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted 19-Feb-2025. The net spread of roughly $3.04 per share implies gross proceeds of about $2.0 million before taxes.

After the transactions, Probst’s direct common-stock position is 168,364 shares and he still holds 33,591 unexercised options expiring 05/04/2026. No indirect holdings were reported. The sale represents less than 2 % of his direct ownership and is immaterial relative to Ventas� roughly 400 million shares outstanding; no operational or earnings information is disclosed.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine 10b5-1 option exercise and sale; negligible impact on VTR valuation.

The CFO converted expiring options into shares and liquidated them for personal liquidity, reducing his direct stake by 29,691 shares. Proceeds are modest versus Ventas� market capitalization and do not signal a strategic shift. Post-sale ownership remains substantial, mitigating negative signalling risk. The action was pre-planned, further lowering interpretive weight. I view the filing as administratively important but not valuation-relevant.

TL;DR: Insiders following 10b5-1 best practices; neutral governance impact.

The transaction occurred under a disclosed 10b5-1 plan, aligning with governance guidelines and reducing concerns about information asymmetry. Frequency and scale of sales appear consistent with option-expiration cycles rather than opportunistic timing. No red flags around undisclosed pledging or derivative complexity. Overall, governance posture remains stable.
