Cohu (COHU) Sr. VP Christopher Bohrson Receives Equity Award
What Happened
- Christopher Bohrson, Senior Vice President & Chief Customer Officer of Cohu, received equity awards on 2026-03-10 totaling 35,958 units: two grants of 17,979 shares each (reported at $0.00 per share). These represent performance stock units (PSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs) that convert to common shares upon vesting. On 2026-03-11, 4,088 shares were disposed (withheld) to cover tax obligations related to vesting (reported at $0.00).
- The awards themselves are compensation grants (not open-market purchases or sales) and have vesting conditions: PSUs are performance-based (measured against total shareholder return at the third anniversary, payout 0–200% of target) and RSUs vest in four equal annual installments assuming continued service.

- F3: The 4,088-share disposal was automatic withholding to cover taxes (exempt transaction under Rule 16b-3).
- F4: Filing references 135,861 previously reported RSUs that will convert to shares upon future vesting (excluding future tax-withheld shares).

Context
- These are compensation awards (PSUs/RSUs). PSUs depend on future performance metrics and may pay out between 0% and 200% of the target amount; RSUs vest over time with service. The 4,088-share disposition was a routine tax withholding at vesting and should not be read as a market-sale decision.
- For retail investors, grants show how management is being compensated and align pay with performance, but they are not the same signal as an insider buying or selling stock on the open market.
