FAQ

What insider transaction did SMCI director Liaw Yih-Shyan Wally report?

He reported RSU-related equity transactions on February 10, 2026. Several restricted stock unit awards converted into common stock, and part of the resulting shares was withheld by Super Micro Computer, Inc. to satisfy tax obligations connected to the vesting, rather than being sold in the market.

How many SMCI shares did Wally Liaw acquire through RSU conversions?

He acquired common stock through RSU conversions in tranches of 4,380, 4,370, and 848 shares. These arose from vested restricted stock units that settle one-for-one into SMCI common stock, according to the filing’s explanation of the RSU structure and vesting terms.

How many SMCI shares does Wally Liaw directly own after these transactions?

After the reported transactions, he directly owns 92,312 shares of SMCI common stock. In addition, he holds RSU balances of 8,750, 13,130, and 9,337 restricted stock units, which are scheduled to settle in common shares as they continue to vest over time.
