Insights

TL;DR: Routine officer RSU vesting and net settlement; tax-withholding occurred at $44.6, leaving 55,857 shares beneficially owned.

The Form 4 documents non-market settlements of restricted stock units on 08/10/2025 for Kenneth Cheung, SMCI's SVP and Chief Accounting Officer. Three RSU settlements of 1,620, 1,250 and 2,115 units were converted to common stock. Portions of those vested shares were withheld by the company for taxes (823, 635 and 922 shares) at a reported price of $44.6 per share, explicitly described as a net settlement and exempt under Rule 16b-3(e). The final direct beneficial ownership reported is 55,857 shares. This is a routine compensation-related disclosure with no indicated open-market sales.

TL;DR: Compensation-related vesting disclosed; withholding for taxes performed by issuer, consistent with net-settlement practice.

The filing is centered on vesting and settlement mechanics for equity compensation rather than discretionary trading. It lists contingent rights converting to one share per restricted stock unit and documents the company’s tax-withholding procedure rather than a market disposition. The details provided — amounts of vested units, shares withheld and the withholding price of $44.6 — are sufficient to confirm the transactions were administrative and not market-based. Impact on ownership is explicit: the reporting person holds 55,857 shares directly after these events.
