ASE Technology Director Jeffrey Chen Receives Award & Gifts 1.2M Shares

What Happened

• Jeffrey Chen, a director of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd., was granted 300,000 shares (award) on 2026-09-07 and the same day was involved in two gift transactions: disposed of 600,000 shares as a gift and recorded as acquiring 600,000 shares as a gift. All transactions show $0.00 per share (no cash exchanged). Footnote in the filing disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-07; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-09 (filed two days after transactions).
• Reported prices: $0.00 for all transactions (codes: A = award/grant; G = gift).
• Net reported change: the award adds 300,000 shares; the two equal gift transfers cancel each other (600k gifted away, 600k acquired), so net increase reported is 300,000 shares. Filing does not state total shares owned after these transactions in the supplied summary.
• Footnote: Reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership except to extent of pecuniary interest (F1). Gifts (G) do not imply a market-sale decision or trading sentiment.

Context

• Gifts and awards are not market purchases or sales—gifts often reflect estate, family or trust transfers and do not necessarily indicate the insider’s view of the stock. The award (A) is an issuance to the insider; because all transactions are recorded at $0.00, no cash payment was part of these entries.
