Liang Charles 4

What Happened
Charles Liang, a 10% owner of Super Micro Computer, had 3,650 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert to common shares on February 17, 2026. Of those, 2,108 shares were withheld by the company to satisfy tax withholding obligations (valued at $30.11 per share, ~$63,472). The net shares delivered to Liang equal 1,542 shares (3,650 vested − 2,108 withheld). This was a vesting/settlement and tax‑withholding event, not an open‑market purchase or sale.

Context
This was a routine RSU vesting and net‑settlement for tax withholding (a common way companies satisfy tax obligations when awards vest). It is not an open‑market sale or purchase and therefore doesn't directly signal a market bet. Because Liang is a 10% owner, the filing reflects an ownership/award settlement rather than an independent executive trading decision.
