Charles Liang reported spouse-related equity transactions on February 10, 2026. His spouse exercised 2,110 restricted stock units into SMCI common shares, and 1,251 of those shares were withheld by the company to satisfy tax obligations, rather than being sold in the open market.

How many SMCI shares were acquired through RSU vesting in this Form 4 filing for SMCI?

The filing shows 2,110 SMCI common shares acquired through restricted stock unit vesting. Each restricted stock unit converts into one share of common stock, increasing the spouse’s indirect holdings attributed to Charles Liang before accounting for the separate tax withholding share reduction in the same filing.

Why were 1,251 SMCI shares disposed of at $33.33 in this Form 4?

The 1,251 SMCI shares at $33.33 were withheld to cover taxes, not sold on the market. The company retained these shares to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations arising from the vested restricted stock units, a transaction the filing states is exempt under SEC Rule 16b-3(e).

What are Charles Liang’s indirect SMCI holdings through his spouse after these transactions?

After the reported transactions, Charles Liang’s indirect SMCI holdings through his spouse total 608,258 common shares.

What do the RSU vesting terms disclosed in the SMCI Form 4 footnotes indicate?

The footnotes state the spouse’s RSUs vest 25% on May 10, 2024, then 1/16 each quarter. Vesting continues subject to the spouse’s ongoing service to SMCI, and vested restricted stock units are settled in SMCI common stock, creating new share ownership as each tranche vests.
