Bjornholt James Eric, senior corporate VP and CFO at Microchip Technology (MCHP), has filed 88 Form 4 transactions, all in that single company. The pattern is one-sided on the open market. His total sell value across all filings is $2,572,590.54, while his open-market purchase total is zero. The only acquisitions on record, $58,411.67 in total, came through option exercises and grants, which are compensation mechanics rather than discretionary buys.
The most recent activity, clustered in August 2026, follows the same shape. On August 25, Eric sold MCHP shares worth $309,715.84 in an open-market sale. That sale followed a series of transactions on August 17 and August 15, where he exercised options and had shares withheld to cover taxes. The option exercises on August 17 totaled $670,637.56 across four separate filings, and the corresponding tax-withholding transactions (code F) totaled $220,313.70. On August 15, he exercised options worth $484,694.02 and had $201,442.28 withheld for taxes.
The August 25 sale is the only open-market sell in the recent window, and there are no open-market buys in that period or at any point in his filing history. The pattern is consistent: option exercises paired with automatic share withholding, plus periodic cash sales of MCHP stock. The dollar values are moderate for a CFO, and the direction is uniformly toward reducing his direct holdings, not adding to them.
