Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-27 (grant); filing date: 2026-08-31.
• Award: 2,112 restricted stock units (RSUs) at $0.00 — total reported acquisition value $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes:
  • F1: Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of SMCI common stock.
  • F2: RSUs vest in four equal annual increments on July 1 of each year beginning July 1, 2027, subject to continued service; vested units are settled in shares.
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed four days after the grant date; insiders generally must file Form 4 within two business days, so this filing appears later than typical.

Context RSUs are a derivative award that give the holder a contingent right to receive shares in the future (upon vesting) and are not immediate market purchases or sales. Vesting schedule and continued employment conditions determine when the RSUs convert into actual shares and potential taxable events. Awards are common compensation and do not by themselves indicate the insider is buying or selling stock in the open market.
