2014 Equity Incentive Plan
In April 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in June 2013. In October 2014, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the 2014 Plan. The amended 2014 Plan became effective on November 13, 2014 and provided for the issuance of up to 5.5 million shares. In April 2020, the Board of Directors further amended and restated the amended 2014 Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2014 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in June 2020. The Amended and Restated 2014 Plan became effective on June 11, 2020 and provides for the issuance of up to 10.5 million shares. The Amended and Restated 2014 Plan will cease being available for new awards on June 11, 2030. As of June 30, 2026, 3.4 million shares remained available for future issuance under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
The Company’s RSUs include time-based RSUs, RSUs with performance conditions (“PSUs”), RSUs with market conditions (“MSUs”), and RSUs with performance and market conditions (“MPSUs”). Vesting of awards with performance conditions or market conditions is subject to the achievement of pre-determined performance or market goals and the approval of such achievement by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). All such awards include service conditions which require continued employment with or service to the Company.
A summary of RSU activity is presented in the table below (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

____________________________
(1)Amount reflects the number of awards that may ultimately be earned based on management’s probability assessment of the achievement of performance conditions at each reporting period.
The fair value related to vested RSUs, as of their respective vesting dates, was $25.2 million and $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The fair value related to vested RSUs, as of their respective vesting dates, was $100.3 million and $42.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, unamortized compensation expense related to all outstanding RSUs was $350.0 million with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of approximately two years. RSUs generally vest over four years for non-executive employees, three years for executives, and one year for directors serving on the Board of Directors, all subject to continued service to the Company.
2026 Executive PSUs:
In February 2026, the Compensation Committee granted 42,000 PSUs to the executive officers, which represent the target number of shares that can be earned based on the degree of achievement of two sets of independent performance goals (the “2026 Executive PSUs”). For the first goal, the executive officers can earn up to 300% of the target number of the 2026 Executive PSUs based on the achievement of the Company’s three-year (2026 through 2028) average revenue growth rate in excess of the analog industry’s three-year average revenue growth rate as published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (the “SIA”). For the second goal, the executive officers can earn up to 200% of the target number of the 2026 Executive PSUs if the Company secures manufacturing capacity that can support a specified level of annual revenue at the end of the three-year performance period. For both goals, a percentage of the 2026 Executive PSUs will fully vest on December 31, 2028, depending on the degree to which the pre-determined goals are met during the performance period. Assuming the achievement of the highest level of the performance goals, the total stock-based compensation cost for the 2026 Executive PSUs will be $208.2 million.
The 2026 Executive PSUs contain a purchase price feature, which requires the executives to pay the Company up to $300 per share upon vesting of the shares. The $300 purchase price requirement for executives is deemed satisfied and fully waived if the Company’s stock price on the last trading day of the applicable performance period is $300 or more higher than the grant date stock price of $1,164.83. The Company determined the grant date fair value of the 2026 Executive PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions: stock price of $1,164.83, simulation term of three years, expected volatility of 53.39%, risk-free interest rate of 3.60%, and expected dividend yield of 0.69%. There is no illiquidity discount because the awards do not contain any post-vesting sales restrictions.
