Liaw Yih-Shyan Wally 4

What Happened

• Director Liaw Yih-Shyan (Wally), a director of Super Micro Computer, converted/settled restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-02-10. A total of 9,598 RSUs converted into common shares (4,380 + 4,370 + 848). To satisfy tax withholding obligations, SMCI withheld 3,684 shares (1,804 + 1,575 + 305) valued at $33.33 per share, totaling $122,788. The net increase in his beneficial holdings from this settlement was 5,914 shares.
• The derivative entries showing $0.00 represent the conversion/settlement of the RSUs (i.e., the derivative units ceased and shares were issued). This was not an open-market sale or purchase.

Context

• This was a net settlement of vested RSUs (cashless/net-share settlement): the company withheld shares to cover taxes rather than selling in the open market. Such withholding is a routine administrative step and does not necessarily indicate a purchase or sale intent by the insider.
• No market purchase or open-market sale was reported here; these entries reflect conversion/settlement of derivative awards and tax withholding.
