Insights
Routine stock awards and tax withholding entries, not open-market trading.
Mike F. Chang, a director and more than 10% owner of ALPHA & OMEGA SEMICONDUCTOR Ltd, reported two stock awards totaling 45,000 common shares on March 16, 2026. These are Restricted Share Unit grants that vest over four years, contingent on continued service.
The filing also shows 27,813 common shares withheld at $21.43 per share to satisfy tax obligations from previously granted RSU and Performance Share Unit awards. These are code F transactions, meaning they are non-market dispositions to cover taxes rather than discretionary sales in the open market.
Following these entries, Chang directly owns 4,364,261 common shares, with substantial additional exposure through unvested RSU, PSU, and market-based PSU awards referenced in the footnotes. Overall, this pattern reflects ongoing equity-based compensation and related tax withholding, which is typically viewed as administrative rather than a directional signal about the company’s prospects.
