Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
On February 25, 2025 , Mr. Rafael E. Carrasco , Senior Vice President — Enterprise Strategy and President — WM Healthcare Solutions , adopted a stock trading plan (the “Carrasco Plan”) intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Carrasco Plan will commence on May 27, 2025 and will automatically terminate on the earlier of May 22, 2026 and the completion of all the contemplated transactions set forth therein. The Carrasco Plan provides for the potential cashless exercise of three vested stock option awards totaling 5,792 stock options, upon our common stock reaching specified market prices, pursuant to which shares of common stock will be sold to cover the option exercise price, tax obligations, commissions and fees. The Carrasco Plan then provides instructions to sell 50% of the shares of common stock resulting from each cashless option exercise after settlement and Mr. Carrasco will continue to hold the remaining 50% of the shares.
On February 27, 2025 , James C. Fish, Jr. , President, Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors , adopted a written net share settlement plan (the “Fish Plan”). The Fish Plan went into effect on the date of adoption and was not intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Fish Plan provided that upon (i) the vesting of 22,063 and 19,805 stock options on March 1, 2025 and March 7, 2025, respectively and (ii) our common stock reaching a specified market price on or before March 7, 2025, the Company would exercise the options and withhold shares of common stock necessary to cover the option exercise price and tax obligations. The options were automatically exercised pursuant to the terms of the Fish Plan and all remaining shares of common stock resulting from the option exercises after the net share settlement process were delivered to Mr. Fish .
