Key details
- Transaction dates: Feb 15–16, 2026; Form 4 filed Feb 19, 2026.
- Conversion/exercise (code M): 142,161 shares at $78.94 (total reported value ≈ $11.22M).
- Tax/withholding (code F): 57,805 shares withheld/disposed (total reported value ≈ $4.56M).
- Net shares retained by Sanghi: ≈ 84,356 shares.
- Shares beneficially owned after the transactions: reported around 9.9 million shares (includes holdings via The Sanghi Trust and The Sanghi Family Limited Partnership per footnotes).

Context
- These entries are conversions/vestings of equity awards (derivative instruments) rather than open‑market purchases or discretionary sales. Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative, F = payment of exercise price/tax withholding.
- Withholding of shares to cover taxes/exercise costs (a common practice) reduces the number of shares delivered to the insider and is not the same as an open‑market sale.
- No trading plan (e.g., 10b5‑1) or late‑filing flag is indicated in the summary; the Form 4 was filed Feb 19, 2026 reporting the Feb 15–16 vesting/conversion events.
Bottom line: This filing documents vested PSUs/RSUs converted to stock for Microchip’s CEO, with substantial gross value delivered and routine share withholding for taxes, resulting in a meaningful net increase in his holdings.
