Jones, Senior VP Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Cohu, had 3,000 shares withheld on 2026-03-12 to satisfy tax obligations arising from the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

Footnote F1 says the withholding was automatic and the transaction is exempt under Rule 16(b)-3.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-12; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-13 (timely).
• Transaction type: F (shares withheld to cover tax liability on RSU vesting).
• Amount: 3,000 shares withheld at $0.00 per share; reported value $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided summary of the filing.
• Footnotes: F1 — automatic withholding to cover tax obligations (Rule 16(b)-3 exemption). F2 — filing notes 183,047 RSUs remain that will convert one-for-one to common stock upon future vesting/achievement of performance goals (excludes the shares withheld for taxes).

Context Withholding shares to cover taxes on vested RSUs is a routine administrative action and is reported as a disposition for SEC purposes, but it is not an open-market sale and doesn’t necessarily indicate insider sentiment. Footnote F2 indicates the CFO still has a substantial number of RSUs that may convert to common stock in the future if vesting and performance conditions are met.
