Key questions

  • What proportion of Han-Ping Shieh’s directly held common stock was impacted by this transaction?

    This sale accounted for 100% of Shieh’s direct holdings in the common stock share class, resulting in no remaining direct ownership of that class as of June 18, 2026.

  • Does Shieh continue to have an economic interest in Silicon Motion Technology Corporation following this transaction?

    Yes; while direct holdings of common stock were reduced to zero, Shieh maintains ownership of ~14,310 American depositary shares (ADS), which can be converted to common stock and represent a continuing economic interest.

  • Was there any participation from indirect entities or the use of derivative securities in these transactions?

    No indirect entities or derivative securities were involved; the transaction reflected only direct, open-market sales of common stock.

  • How does this activity relate to Shieh’s historical trading cadence or available share capacity?

    Since Shieh’s direct common stock holdings were fully allocated in this transaction and no additional direct shares remain, the scale of the transaction is explained by the capacity of available shares rather than a change in trading cadence.
