Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 29, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Robert A. Schriesheim, a current member of the Board, as interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. The Company has commenced a search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer in response to the decision by Mark P. Dentinger, who had been expected to join as Chief Financial Officer on June 2, 2025, to not commence employment with the Company due to an unforeseen medical condition.
Mr. Schriesheim, 65, has served as a member of the Board since 2006. He has been Chairman of Truax Partners LLC, a consulting firm, since 2018 and has served as Adjunct Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business since September 2023. He served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sears Holdings Corporation, a publicly traded nationwide retailer, from August 2011 to October 2016. From January 2010 to October 2010, Mr. Schriesheim was Chief Financial Officer of Hewitt Associates, Inc., a global human resources consulting and outsourcing company. From October 2006 until December 2009, he was the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Lawson Software, Inc., a publicly traded ERP software provider.
In connection with his appointment, the Company and Mr. Schriesheim entered into an offer letter (the “Offer Letter”) setting the terms of his compensation as interim Chief Financial Officer. While serving in the role, his base salary will be based on an annualized rate of $625,000. The Company also granted Mr. Schriesheim a Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) award for the number of shares that is calculated by dividing $1,200,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 29, 2025 (the “Start Date”). The RSU will vest on the second anniversary of the Start Date in an amount equal to (x) fifty percent of the RSU award plus (y) fifty percent of the RSU grant multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of service as interim Chief Financial Officer and the denominator of which is six; provided that in no case shall such fraction be greater than one. The Company has agreed to reimburse Mr. Schriesheim for the costs of his travel in connection with the interim role, including any taxes payable with respect thereto.
Mr. Schriesheim will serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer on an interim basis. Philip G. Brace, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has served as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer on an interim basis since May 9, 2025, ceased serving in such roles upon Mr. Schriesheim’s appointment. There are no family relationships between Mr. Schriesheim and any director or executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Schriesheim is not party to any transaction, or series of transactions, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Schriesheim resigned as a member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board.
