Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-07-07 — 44 shares at $76.62 per share (total ≈ $3,371).
• Reporting/filing: Form 4 filed 2026-07-09 (appears to be filed timely).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Relevant footnotes from the filing:
  • F1/F3: Shares were purchased by the administrator of the issuer's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) on behalf of the filer and are held under the ESPP.
  • F2: The dollar price was translated from an average NT$ purchase price (NT$2,462.6361) at NT$32.143 = US$1.
  • F4 appears in the filing describing LTI-trust purchases over which the filer has investment control (not the mechanism for this ESPP purchase).

Context
ESPP purchases are typically periodic, pre-authorized plan transactions (payroll deductions or scheduled purchases) and are common across employees. The purchase amount here is modest (~$3.4K) and represents participation in a company stock plan rather than a large, discretionary market bet.
