ACM Research CEO David Wang Options Vest 545,400 Shares
What Happened
- David H. Wang, CEO, President, Director and 10% owner of ACM Research, reported a derivative acquisition: 545,400 shares became vested/exercisable on Feb 4, 2026. The Form 4 shows these as derivative securities acquired at $0.00 (i.e., vesting of previously granted options), not an open-market purchase or sale.
Key Details
- Transaction date: February 4, 2026; Form 4 filed February 6, 2026 (timely).
- Transaction type: Vesting/award of options (reported as derivative acquisition) — 545,400 shares @ $0.00.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing text.
- Origin of grant: Options were granted March 20, 2020 covering 1,636,197 shares in total; one-third (545,400) vested with this milestone.
- Remaining contingent shares: Approximately 1,090,797 option shares remain subject to future performance triggers (two remaining tranches).
- Footnote on trigger: Vesting occurred because the issuer’s market capitalization reached or exceeded $3,553,383,586 as of the first trading day when that threshold was met. Market cap is calculated using the 30-day VWAP multiplied by total issued Class A and B shares.
Context
- This filing reports vesting (options became exercisable). It does not show an exercise for cash, a sale, or tax withholding — any exercise or sale would be reported in separate transactions if/when they occur.
- Vesting tied to market-cap milestones is a performance-based award; the transaction is informational (non-cash) and does not by itself signal a purchase or sale of stock.

- [F1]On March 20, 2020, the reporting person was granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,636,197 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock, based on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. In general, one-third of the shares subject to the options vest and become exercisable upon an increase in the Issuer's market capitalization (calculated as described in footnote 2) of $1 billion, $2 billion and $3 billion, respectively, from the market capitalization of $553,383,586 on the date of grant. 545,400 shares vested and became exercisable on February 4, 2026, which was the first trading day as of which the Issuer's market capitalization equaled or exceeded $3,553,383,586.
- [F2]For purposes of the options, the market capitalization as of a specified trading day is calculated by multiplying (a) the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Issuer's Class A common stock for each of the trading days occurring during the thirty calendar day period ending on that specified trading day by (b) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer's Class A and Class B common stock as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on such specified trading day.
