"tax withholding obligations upon vesting of restricted stock units"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

"This purchase is exempt from Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"
A provision of federal securities law that requires company insiders—directors, officers and large shareholders—to publicly report their stock holdings and trades and to surrender any “short-swing” profits from purchases and sales within a six-month window. It acts like a rule that forces leaders to announce their trades and prevents quick buy-sell windfalls, giving investors transparency into insider activity and reducing opportunities for unfair gain.

FAQ

What insider transactions did AEHR COO Adil Engineer report on this Form 4?

Adil Engineer reported two routine equity compensation transactions: an acquisition of 2,454 AEHR common shares through the company’s employee stock purchase plan, and 458 shares withheld to cover taxes on restricted stock unit vesting, which the disclosure clarifies is not a sale.

How many AEHR shares does COO Adil Engineer hold after these transactions?

Following the reported transactions, Adil Engineer directly holds 47,672 shares of AEHR common stock. The filing notes this figure includes shares underlying unvested restricted stock units, meaning part of the reported total is tied to awards that have not yet fully vested.

What was the price for AEHR shares purchased through the employee stock purchase plan?

The 2,454 AEHR common shares acquired through the Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were reported at a price of $6.6725 per share. This plan is described as a tax-conditioned plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 423, providing specific tax treatment.

Does the 458-share tax withholding transaction represent an open market sale of AEHR stock?

No. The filing states the 458 AEHR shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations upon vesting of restricted stock units and explicitly notes this does not represent a sale by the reporting person. It is a tax-withholding mechanism tied to equity compensation vesting.

What is the significance of AEHR’s employee stock purchase plan in this Form 4?

The Form 4 explains that 2,454 shares were purchased through AEHR’s Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is a tax-conditioned plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 423. This indicates a structured employee program rather than a discretionary open market trade.

Are unvested restricted stock units included in Adil Engineer’s reported AEHR holdings?

Yes. A footnote specifies that the reported ownership amount includes shares subject to unvested restricted stock units. This means his total of 47,672 AEHR shares reflects both currently vested shares and equity awards that are scheduled to vest in the future.
