Skyworks (SWKS) CFO Carter Philip Matthew Receives RSUs; 5,046 Withheld

What Happened

• Carter Philip Matthew, Chief Financial Officer of Skyworks Solutions (SWKS), had 9,917 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into common shares on 2026-09-08. Of those, 5,046 shares were withheld to cover tax withholding obligations at an implied price of $75.38 per share, producing proceeds of $380,367. The net number of shares issued to him was 4,871.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-08; Form 4 filed 2026-09-09 (timely).
• Reported codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU conversion); F = shares withheld for tax withholding.
• Withheld shares: 5,046 at $75.38 per share = $380,367 (tax withholding, not an open-market sale).
• RSU conversion: 9,917 shares converted 1-for-1 into common stock (footnote F1).
• Vesting schedule: RSUs vest in four equal annual installments starting 9/8/2026 through 9/8/2029 (footnote F4); this was the first installment.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified on the Form 4 filing.
• Other footnotes: F2 confirms withholding to satisfy tax obligations; F3 references unrelated 401(k) holdings statement.

Context

• This is a routine RSU vesting and tax-withholding transaction. A portion of the vested shares was withheld to satisfy tax obligations (common practice), not an open-market sale that necessarily signals a view on the company’s stock.
• For clarity: the filing shows conversion of RSUs into shares (derivative conversion) and withholding of shares to cover taxes — effectively a cashless settlement of the tax liability.
