Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SkyWater Technology, Inc. executive Christopher Hilberg, Chief Risk & Compliance Officer, filed an amended Form 4 to correct clerical errors in previously reported tax-related share withholdings. On the original transaction date, shares of common stock were withheld at $9.23 per share to satisfy the issuer’s tax withholding obligations tied to vested restricted stock units under Rule 16b-3. The amendment clarifies that one withholding should have been 866 shares with post-transaction holdings of 39,656 shares, and another should have been 217 shares with post-transaction holdings of 40,522 shares. A footnote explains that, due to these earlier clerical errors, several subsequent Forms 4 understated Hilberg’s beneficial ownership by 1,462 shares.

Price per share $9.23 per share Value used for tax-withholding dispositions of common stock
restricted stock units financial
"in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units previously reported"
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.
Rule 16b-3 regulatory
"previously reported by the Reporting Person in accordance with Rule 16b-3"
Rule 16b-3 is a Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that exempts certain routine, pre-approved transactions by company insiders from automatic liability for short-term trading profits. It acts like a safe harbor: if an insider follows a formal plan or the board approves specific transactions in advance, profits from buying and selling company stock within six months are not automatically reclaimed. Investors care because the rule clarifies when insider trades are permissible and reduces uncertainty about potential clawbacks.
tax withholding obligations financial
"to satisfy the Issuers tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting"
beneficially owned financial
"understated by 1,462 the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Form 4/A regulatory
"This Form 4/A is being filed solely to correct clerical errors"
Form 4/A is an amended filing that corrects or updates an earlier Form 4, the mandatory report that insiders (like company executives, directors, or large shareholders) must file when their ownership stakes change. Think of it as an edited receipt showing who bought or sold stock and when; investors use it to track insider confidence, detect potential conflicts, and spot trading patterns that might signal future company prospects.

FAQ

What does the SkyWater (SKYT) Form 4/A amendment for Christopher Hilberg change?

The amendment corrects clerical errors in prior Form 4 entries for tax-withholding share dispositions. It restates two withholding amounts and the related post-transaction holdings, ensuring the reported share counts and ownership totals accurately match the restricted stock unit vesting activity.

How many SkyWater (SKYT) shares were withheld for Christopher Hilberg’s taxes?

Two transactions report a total of 1,083 shares withheld for tax obligations. One corrected entry is 866 shares and the other is 217 shares, both in common stock, reflecting shares the issuer retained instead of delivering them upon restricted stock unit vesting.

At what price were Christopher Hilberg’s SkyWater (SKYT) tax-withholding shares valued?

Both corrected tax-withholding transactions use a price of $9.23 per share. This price is used to value the common stock withheld by the issuer to satisfy its tax withholding obligations triggered by the vesting of restricted stock units previously reported.

How did the Form 4/A correction affect Christopher Hilberg’s reported SkyWater (SKYT) holdings?

The amendment adjusts Column 5 totals to 39,656 shares and 40,522 shares after the respective transactions. A footnote notes earlier clerical errors caused several later Forms 4 to understate his beneficial ownership by 1,462 shares following the reported transactions.

Were Christopher Hilberg’s SkyWater (SKYT) transactions open-market sales or tax withholdings?

The transactions are classified as tax-withholding dispositions, not open-market sales. SkyWater withheld common shares that otherwise would have been issued to Hilberg to cover tax obligations arising from vesting restricted stock units, as described under Rule 16b-3.

Why did SkyWater (SKYT) file a Form 4/A instead of a new Form 4 for Christopher Hilberg?

Form 4/A is used to amend a prior Form 4. Here, it corrects clerical errors in the originally reported share amounts and resulting holdings. The filing states no other changes were made beyond fixing the misreported tax-withholding share counts and ownership totals.
