Amtech (ASYS) CFO Thomas Sabol Receives 15,000 RSU Award

What Happened

• Thomas B. Sabol, Chief Financial Officer of Amtech Systems, Inc. (ASYS), was granted 15,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-08-04. The reported acquisition price is $0.00 because these are derivative awards (contingent rights to receive shares).
• The award is an equity compensation/retention grant rather than an open-market purchase or sale; it does not represent an immediate cash transaction or sale of existing shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-04 (Form 4 filed 2026-08-05).
• Transaction type/code: A — Grant/Award of derivative securities (RSUs).
• Shares/units granted: 15,000 RSUs; acquisition price reported as $0.00.
• Vesting: One-third (1/3) of the RSUs vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date (per footnote).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided summary of the filing.
• Filing timeliness: Reported on 2026-08-05 for a period of report 2026-08-04 (appears timely).
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU equals a contingent right to one common share; F2 — vesting schedule is 1/3 per year for three years.

Context

• RSU grants are common executive compensation/retention tools. They become actual shares only as they vest, so this award does not immediately change the CFO’s voting power or create a taxable event until vesting (subject to tax rules).
• Because the grant price is $0.00, no purchase price is reported; the grant’s economic value depends on Amtech’s share price over time and is typically disclosed in the company’s proxy or compensation filings. This grant should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct expression of near-term market sentiment.
