FAQ

What did UEIC director Satjiv Chahil report in this Form 4 filing?

The filing shows 18,437 restricted stock units converting into 18,437 UEIC common shares. This reflects routine equity compensation vesting, not an open-market trade. The new shares are held indirectly through the Satjiv Chahil Trust.

Were any Universal Electronics (UEIC) shares bought or sold on the market?

No open-market purchases or sales were reported. The Form 4 records an exercise of 18,437 restricted stock units into common shares at a stated price of $0.00, representing compensation settlement rather than a market transaction.

How many UEIC shares are held after this transaction?

After the transaction, 169,687 UEIC common shares are reported as held indirectly. These shares are in the Satjiv Chahil Trust, and the footnotes explain that Mr. Chahil disclaims ownership of shares held by this trust.

Who actually holds the Universal Electronics shares from this RSU conversion?

The shares are held by the Satjiv Chahil Trust. Footnotes clarify that Mr. Chahil disclaims ownership of shares held by the trust, indicating they are attributed to the trust rather than personally to him.

What are restricted stock units in the context of UEIC’s director compensation?

Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one UEIC common share. Once vesting conditions are met, RSUs convert into common stock, as seen here with 18,437 units converting into 18,437 shares on May 19, 2026.

Does this Universal Electronics Form 4 signal a change in insider sentiment?

The transaction reflects routine RSU vesting and conversion, not a discretionary buy or sell decision. Such compensation-related exercises generally carry limited insight into insider sentiment because they follow preset vesting schedules rather than market-driven timing.
