Microchip (NASDAQ: MCHP) COO reports RSU, PSU vesting and tax share withholding

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Microchip Technology's chief operating officer Richard J. Simoncic reported equity award activity rather than open‑market trading. On February 15 and 16, 2026, restricted stock units and performance stock units vested and were converted into shares of common stock, with vested shares delivered to him or an associated trust.

The filing shows multiple exercise or conversion (code M) transactions at a reference price of $78.94 per share, alongside tax-withholding dispositions (code F) where some shares held indirectly by a trust were used to satisfy tax liabilities. The performance stock units were earned based on cumulative non‑GAAP operating margin targets over 12‑quarter measurement periods.

FAQ

What insider activity did MCHP’s COO report in this Form 4?

Microchip’s COO reported vesting and conversion of restricted and performance stock units into common shares, plus related tax-withholding share dispositions. These are equity compensation events, not open-market purchases or sales, and reflect delivery of vested stock tied to prior performance and service conditions.

Were Microchip (MCHP) shares bought or sold on the market in this filing?

The transactions do not show open-market buys or sells. They reflect exercises and conversions of stock units into common shares, with some shares withheld to cover taxes. Code M entries are award conversions, while code F entries represent tax-withholding dispositions by the associated trust.

What role do performance stock units play in this MCHP Form 4?

Performance stock units convert into Microchip common shares based on cumulative non-GAAP operating margin over 12 quarters. Targets are set at a 40.0% margin, and actual shares earned can be higher or lower depending on results, then vest and are delivered on specified dates.

How are tax obligations handled in the reported MCHP insider transactions?

Tax obligations are handled through share withholding transactions labeled with code F. In these, a portion of the newly delivered common shares held indirectly by a trust is disposed of to pay exercise price or tax liabilities, instead of the insider paying cash to the company or tax authorities.

What is the significance of the $78.94 price in the MCHP Form 4?

The filing lists a reference price of $78.94 per share for common stock entries tied to equity award conversions and tax-withholding. This figure is used for reporting the value of shares delivered or withheld but does not indicate an actual open-market trade execution price for purchases or sales.

How are the reported MCHP shares held after these transactions?

After these transactions, the common shares are shown as held indirectly by a trust associated with the reporting person. The trust is listed as the owner for the non-derivative common stock holdings, reflecting indirect beneficial ownership rather than shares held directly in the executive’s name.
