Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (ADUS)
2 of 4 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-22 | Dixon Heather Brianne | President and Chief Operating | 288 | $27K | 0.6% | Yes | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |

| 2026-04-21 | Blessing Cliff Donald | EVP, Chief Development Officer | 178 | $17K | 1.4% | Yes | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Addus HomeCare Corporation's Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-24)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- For financial management, we utilize Oracle's Planning Budgeting Cloud Service as our solution for budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting and Oracle Fusion for the general ledger, accounts payable and fixed assets.
- In particular, the demand for personal care services is growing from managed care delivery models, including Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports programs and Medicare Advantage plans.
- We believe that our personal care program and our technology make us well-suited to partner with managed care organizations to address the needs of the dual-eligible population, and we believe that our ability to identify changes in our consumers' health and condition before acute intervention is required will lower the overall cost of care.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Our hospice operations are subject to annual Medicare caps. If we exceed the caps, our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
- The implementation of alternative payment models and any increases in enrollment in Medicare Advantage or Medicaid managed care plans may limit our market share and could adversely affect our revenues.
- We may be similarly impacted by increases in enrollment of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in managed care plans, which are part of the general shift away from traditional fee-for-service models.
- We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern our employment practices, including minimum wage, living wage, and paid time-off requirements. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or changes to these laws and regulations that increase our employment-related expenses, could adversely impact our operations.
