About 0.3% overall. As a group they still hold 99.7% of their starting shares.
Percentages cover 14 of 16 officers and directors. Left out: Charles Liang (reports the same shares as Sara Liu, where they are counted); George Kao (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

16 of 16 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (15 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 14 of 16 officers and directors. Left out: Charles Liang (reports the same shares as Sara Liu, where they are counted); George Kao (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.
Officer and director open-market sales: $11.2M across 305,534 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.
The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($3.5M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.
Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.9M of it is George Kao. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: George Kao, Nov 24, 2025
112,317 shares ($4.1M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.
Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.
Every officer and director reconciles for this period.
Yih-Shyan Liaw: minor difference of 193,770 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).
External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.
All 1,013 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SEC CIK 1375365) from Mar 28, 2007 to Sep 8, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 7, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.
Probable 10-for-1 stock split on or before Oct 1, 2024 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 14 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.
Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.
Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
