Context

• These entries reflect vesting/settlement of performance-based awards (PSUs). Such awards are common as part of executive compensation and do not by themselves imply buying or selling sentiment in the open market.
• The economic value to the insider depends on DaVita’s share price when the awards vest/settle and any subsequent sales; the Form 4 records the issuance/vesting, not any later sale.
