Silvaco Group (NASDAQ: SVCO) Chief Financial Officer Christopher John Zegarelli executed a sale of 2,431 shares of the company’s common stock on April 1, 2026, according to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The shares were sold at prices ranging from $7.03 to $7.16 per share, generating total proceeds of $17,284. The filing states the disposition was performed to cover tax-withholding obligations arising from the vesting of restricted stock units.
Silvaco’s filing further notes that the sale was inadvertently matchable under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to an earlier purchase made on December 8, 2025. As a result of that matching, Zegarelli will pay Silvaco Group $8,088.63, which the filing identifies as the profit realized from the matched transaction.
After the disposition, Zegarelli is reported to directly own 536,976 shares of Silvaco Group common stock.
Market context in the filing places the company’s shares at $7.19 at the time of reporting, near a 52-week high of $7.44 and following a year-to-date gain of 77.53%. An InvestingPro analysis cited in the filing indicates the stock appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value.

Revenue for the quarter was $18.3 million, which the company said was in line with its guidance.
