Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: CEO and director sold 20,231 MPWR shares on one day at prices around $825–$836; direct holdings remain substantial.

The Form 4 documents routine open-market dispositions totaling 20,231 shares executed on 08/15/2025 with weighted-average sale price ranges disclosed per trade line. The filing shows continuing significant direct ownership (final reported line: 814,667 shares) plus material indirect trust holdings. From an investor-analysis perspective, the transaction is clearly disclosed and quantifiable in size and price; it reduces direct share count but does not eliminate ownership. The form does not state the reason for the sales or provide a trading plan reference beyond the submission checkbox fields.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Form 4 is properly executed and signed by an attorney-in-fact; it reports multiple same-day sales and identifies trusts holding indirect shares.

The filing is detailed: each sale line includes a weighted-average price range and a commitment to provide per-price quantities on request, and the signature block is completed by an attorney-in-fact. Indirect beneficial ownership is disclosed for two trusts, which is important for understanding aggregate insider exposure. The filing does not indicate an amended Form or a 10b5-1 plan reference checkbox checked with specifics, so no further procedural context is provided within the document.
