Pay vs Performance Disclosure

Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

We are required by SEC rules to disclose the following information regarding compensation paid to our NEOs (including our principal executive officer (“PEO”), also referred to herein as our “CEO”) as compared to the Company's performance. The amounts set forth below under the headings “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs” have been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Footnotes (2) and (3) below discuss the adjustments from the Total Compensation for each NEO reported in the Summary Compensation Table above to derive the "compensation actually paid" ("CAP") to each NEO. The following table sets forth additional compensation information of our PEO and our non-PEO NEOs along with total shareholder return ("TSR"), net income, and net sales performance results for fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024:

(1) The dollar amounts reported are the amounts of total compensation reported for our PEO in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year.

(2) Represents the grant date fair value of the equity awards to our PEO, as reported in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable year.

(3) Represents the year-over-year change in the fair value of equity awards to our PEO, as itemized in the table below. No awards granted in any year vested in the year they were granted. Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the "Compensation Actually Paid" columns was determined by reference to (a) for RSU awards, closing price on applicable year-end dates (b) for PSU awards, the same valuation methodology as RSU awards above except year-end share amounts are multiplied by the probability of achievement as of each such date.

(4) Reflects cumulative TSR of the Company's Peer Group (as described above in this Proxy Statement) index, as of the applicable fiscal years. See "Compensation Review Process" for the composition of our Peer Group Companies for the applicable year. (5) Net Sales is the financial measure that the Company believes to be the most important measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) it used in the most recent fiscal year to link CAP to the NEOs. The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to direct customers and distributors and recognizes revenue when control is transferred. Revenues are reduced in the period of sale for estimates of product returns and other allowances including distributor adjustments resulting in net sales.

The PEO and other NEOs included in the above compensation columns are comprised of the following:

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

The following graphs illustrates the relationship of CAP for our PEO and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs in relationship to our Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), net income and net sales. Additionally, the graphs also describe the relationship between our own TSR versus peer group TSR.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

Tabular List, Table

The three financial performance measures listed in the following table represent an unranked list of the “most important” financial performance measures linking CAP to the NEOs for 2024 and company performance. After net sales, we do not consider any one of the other following financial performance measures to be a more important measure than the other when measuring performance for our company or executive compensation program. See the discussion above in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for additional discussion related to executive pay.
