Gottlieb Scott 4

What Happened
Scott Gottlieb, a director of UnitedHealth Group (UNH), was granted 210 deferred stock units on July 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as 210 shares at a reported price of $0.00 (total reported value $0) — this reflects a non-cash, compensation award rather than an open-market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-07-06 (filed five calendar days after the grant; check SEC 2-business-day reporting requirement for timeliness).
• Transaction type/code: A — Grant/award or other acquisition (deferred stock units).
• Shares reported acquired: 210 deferred stock units; reported price: $0.00; reported total: $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: These are deferred stock units granted as regular quarterly compensation for board service. They are immediately vested but must be retained until the director leaves the Board.

Context
Deferred stock units granted to directors are routine compensation and do not represent an open-market buy or sale. Because they must be held until board service ends, they are not an immediate liquidity event and generally do not convey a near-term trading signal.
