Key Details

• Transaction date: August 17, 2026 (Form 4 filed August 19, 2026). Filing appears timely.
• Transactions reported: two derivative conversions (code M) totaling 8,000 shares; tax withholding (code F) of 1,436 shares @ $38.28 = $54,970.
• Net shares issued to insider: 8,000 converted less 1,436 withheld = 6,564 shares delivered (based on the reported lines).
• Footnotes:
  • F1: Each RSU equals a contingent right to one SMCI share.
  • F2: Withheld shares were retained by SMCI to satisfy tax withholding — not a market sale; transaction exempt under Rule 16b‑3(e).
  • F3: These RSUs were part of awards that vest in two equal tranches (Aug 17, 2026 and Feb 17, 2027); vested units were settled in shares.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.

Context
This was a routine vesting/settlement of RSUs (a conversion of a derivative to shares) with company withholding to cover taxes — common for equity compensation and not a market sale. For options/derivative entries, note this is a conversion/settlement of awards rather than a cash purchase or open‑market trade. No indication in the filing of a 10b5‑1 plan or a discretionary open‑market sale.
