Himax (HIMX) CFO Pan Ming‑Feng Receives RSU Award

What Happened

• Pan Ming‑Feng, Chief Financial Officer of Himax Technologies (HIMX), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert into 3,916 ordinary shares on September 30, 2026 (reported as exercise/conversion of a derivative, code M). Two same‑day disposals totaling 1,958 shares were also reported, leaving a net 1,958 shares retained from the settlement.
• All transactions are reported at $0.00 per share in the filing (these were shares issued on vesting, not an open‑market purchase or cash sale).

Key Details

• Transaction date: September 30, 2026; filing date: September 30, 2026 (no late filing indicated in this report).
• Acquired: 3,916 shares at $0.00 (RSU settlement). Disposed: 784 shares and 1,174 shares (both at $0.00), total disposed = 1,958 shares.
• Net retained from the vesting event: 1,958 shares (3,916 acquired − 1,958 disposed).
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Relevant footnotes:
  • F1: Ordinary shares were delivered upon vesting and settlement of RSUs.
  • F2: Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive two ordinary shares on vesting.
  • F3: The RSUs vested on September 30, 2026 and have no expiration date.

Context

• This was an award/vesting event (RSUs converting to shares), not an open‑market buy or sale. The filing shows partial disposals on the same day as the vesting; the document does not specify the reason for those disposals (e.g., tax withholding or sale), so no motive should be inferred.
• For retail investors: vesting of RSUs is a common form of compensation and does not necessarily signal insider sentiment about the stock. Purchases by insiders are generally more informative about confidence than routine vesting events.
