UnitedHealth Modifies Executive Stock Option Holding Requirements

On February 23, 2026, UnitedHealth Group's Compensation and Human Resources Committee amended the stock option for Stephen Hemsley, which was initially granted on May 14, 2025. The amendment introduces a two-year share holding requirement after a three-year cliff vesting period, meaning Mr. Hemsley must hold any net shares acquired from the stock option until May 14, 2030, unless he faces death or disability.

All other terms of the stock option remain unchanged. This adjustment could impact the company's executive compensation structure and may influence investor perceptions regarding management incentives and long-term performance alignment.
