Key details
- Transaction dates: vesting/conversion and tax withholding: Jan 31, 2026; new grants: Feb 1, 2026. Form 4 filed Feb 3, 2026 (reporting period 2026-01-31).
- Tax withholding price: $15.42 per ADS; amounts withheld: 1,235 ADS ($19,044) and 1,062 ADS ($16,376), total $35,420.
- Shares from vesting: 2,246 ADS (from 2023 RSU grant) + 1,933 ADS (from 2024 RSU grant) = 4,179 ADS vested; 2,297 ADS withheld; net +1,882 ADS.

- Notable footnotes: (F1) amounts reflect a prior ADS/ordinary-share ratio adjustment (1 ADS = 20 ordinary shares); (F4) shares “disposed” were withheld to satisfy tax withholding and were not open-market sales; (F6/F7/F8) RSU and option vesting terms/cash-in-lieu provisions apply.
- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided excerpt.
Context
- This was a routine RSU vesting event (not an open-market sale). Withholding to satisfy tax obligations is common and does not necessarily indicate a manager selling shares for investment reasons.
- The Feb 1 grants are forward-looking compensation that vest over multiple years; they represent potential future shares only if vesting conditions are met.
