Sennesael Kris 4

What Happened
Kris Sennesael, a director of MaxLinear, Inc. (MXL), was granted a total of 11,780 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 13, 2026 (two awards: 2,052 and 9,728 RSUs). Each RSU is a contingent right to receive one share of MaxLinear common stock (grant price reported as $0.00). These are awards (code A) — not purchases or sales — and will convert to shares only as they vest per the grant terms.

Context
RSU grants are a common form of director compensation and are derivative awards that only become actual shares when the vesting conditions are met. Because these were awards (not open‑market purchases or sales), they do not indicate an immediate buy/sell decision by the director. The economic value realized will depend on MaxLinear’s share price at vesting.
