The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of “compensation actually paid,” as calculated in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts do not reflect the amounts of compensation actually earned, realized or received by our NEOs during the applicable fiscal year. In accordance with SEC rules, certain adjustments were made to the Summary Compensation Table total compensation to determine the amount of “compensation actually paid,” as shown in notes 3 and 4 to this table.

Total Shareholder Return for the Company and the Peer Group is based on an initial fixed investment of $100 beginning with the market close on October 23, 2020, the last trading day before fiscal 2021, and is calculated in accordance with SEC rules. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table reflects the TSR for the PHLX Semiconductor Index, which we also use in the performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation
S-K
under the Exchange Act, and included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 26, 2025.

Non-GAAP
Economic Profit is the financial measure that was determined to be the most important financial performance measure linking “compensation actually paid” for our NEOs to company performance for fiscal 2025 and therefore was selected as the fiscal 2025 “Company-Selected Measure” as defined in Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K
under the Exchange Act. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of
non-GAAP
Economic Profit. This reflects the Committee’s decision to use
non-GAAP
Economic Profit as the financial measure for the fiscal 2025 PSUs and as one of the objectives on the fiscal 2025 bonus scorecard.
