SMCI 10% Owner Liu Liang Chiu-Chu Sara Receives RSU Shares

What Happened

  • Liu Liang Chiu-Chu Sara, a reported 10% owner of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), had 2,110 restricted stock units (RSUs convert/derivative) vest on Feb 10, 2026. The RSUs converted into 2,110 shares. To cover tax withholding, SMCI withheld 1,251 shares at $33.33 per share (value $41,696). Net shares delivered to the reporting person = 859 shares.
  • This was not an open-market sale — the 1,251-share "disposition" reflects tax withholding (a company-side withholding), not a market transaction.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-10; Form filed: 2026-02-12 (appears timely).
  • Gross vested/converted: 2,110 RSUs → 2,110 shares (derivative exercise/conversion, code M).
  • Shares withheld for taxes: 1,251 shares at $33.33 each — $41,696 total (code F, withheld by company; not a market sale).
  • Net shares issued to insider: 859 shares (2,110 − 1,251).
  • Shares owned after transaction: total holdings not specified in the provided excerpt.
  • Footnotes: F1–F3 confirm these were RSUs (one RSU = one share), withholding was to satisfy tax remittance and exempt from Section 16(b) per Rule 16b‑3(e), and the RSUs vest per a schedule subject to continued service.

Context

  • This was a net settlement of vested RSUs (a common practice): RSUs converted to shares and the company withheld a portion to cover taxes — a routine administrative action rather than a market sale or purchase.
  • As a 10% owner, this filing reports significant ownership status; it does not necessarily reflect an executive's market-timing decision.
