[Form 4] Super Micro Computer, Inc. Insider Trading Activity
Blair Robert L, a director of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), reported a disposal of 1,580 shares and a grant of 5,383 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 08/08/2025. The RSUs represent a contingent right to receive one share each and were granted for service to be provided in fiscal 2026. The RSUs will fully vest on June 30, 2026, with pro rata vesting if service ends earlier, and vested RSUs will be settled in shares of SMCI common stock. The Form 4 was filed by one reporting person and shows the ownership form as direct for the reported holdings.
- 5,383 RSUs granted to the director, aligning future compensation with company equity through service-based vesting
- Vesting terms specified: full vesting on June 30, 2026, with pro rata vesting if service ends earlier, and settlement in shares
- 1,580 shares disposed on 08/08/2025, reducing the reporting person's direct holdings
- Potential dilution exists when the 5,383 RSUs vest and are settled in common stock
Insights
TL;DR: Director reported a sale of 1,580 shares and received 5,383 RSUs that vest mid-2026.
This disclosure shows a routine insider compensation grant combined with a small disposal. The 5,383 RSUs increase potential future share issuance to the reporting person upon vesting and are described as settled in shares, which dilutes outstanding shares when settled but only if and when vesting conditions are met. The 1,580-share disposition is an immediate decrease in the director's direct holdings. Based solely on the disclosed amounts, these transactions appear routine and not clearly material to SMCI's overall capitalization.
Impact assessment: not impactful
TL;DR: Director compensation granted as RSUs with standard service-based vesting; a contemporaneous small share disposition was reported.
The RSU award is explicitly tied to service in fiscal 2026 and contains a clear pro rata vesting provision if service terminates before June 30, 2026. That structure aligns compensation with continued service and clarifies settlement mechanics (shares at vesting). The filing notes the reporting person is a director and the filing was by one reporting person. There is no additional governance action, change of control clause, or derivative exercise shown in the disclosure.
