Meta CFO Susan Li acquires shares, stock withheld for tax obligations
Meta CFO Susan J. Li, of Meta Platforms, Inc., recently acquired 18,245 shares of the company's Class A Common Stock, as reported via a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2026. These transactions took place on August 15, 2026, and were primarily executed through the settlement of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and subsequent withholding of shares by Meta to address tax obligations.
The CFO purchased the shares at a price of $0 per share, as the shares were acquired through the settlement of various RSU grants. These RSUs vest at different intervals, with some vesting quarterly for 1/20th of the total beginning on February 15, 2023, and February 15, 2024, while others vest quarterly for 1/16th of the total beginning on May 15, 2023, May 15, 2024, May 15, 2025, and May 15, 2026, contingent upon continued service through each vesting date.
As part of these RSU settlements, Meta withheld a total of 9,049 shares, valued at approximately $5,550,251, to satisfy income tax withholding and remittance obligations. The reimbursement was conducted at prices ranging from $589.85 to $689.85.
Specifically, 2,127 shares were withheld at the higher end of the range, at $689.85, totaling $1,467,310, while an additional 6,922 shares were withheld at $589.85, equating to $4,082,941. It is essential to note that these transactions represent tax withholdings by Meta and were not open market sales by Susan Li. Following these reported transactions, Ms. Li's indirect beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock through the The Li-Hegeman Living Trust increased to 22,382 shares.
These transactions come at a time when Meta's stock trades near its 52-week low of $520.26, at $543.67, and has experienced a 27% decline over the past year. Analysts suggest that the stock appears undervalued relative to its Fair Value, placing Meta among the most undervalued companies on the platform.
