Chang Leslie Li Hsien 4

What Happened

• Chang Leslie Li Hsien, a director of Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ), converted/exercised 809 derivative awards (reported as RSU/derivative conversions) into 809 common shares on July 2, 2026. To cover tax withholding, 4 of those shares were surrendered at $15.69 each (total ~$63). The filing shows both the acquisition of 809 shares and the derivative instrument disposition related to that conversion.
• Net shares received by the insider from this transaction: 805 shares (809 acquired minus 4 withheld). This was a conversion/vesting event (not an open-market purchase or sale).

Context

• This appears to be a routine RSU conversion/vesting event with standard tax withholding rather than a market buy or sell. The $0.00 exercise price indicates conversion of award units into common shares; the small share withholding is a common method to satisfy tax obligations. Such conversions generally do not by themselves signal a change in insider sentiment.
