- Removal of Objectives-Based Metrics: Previous objectives-based performance metrics were removed.
- New Weighting: 50% of the award is tied to Non-GAAP operating income (FY2027-2029), 25% to gross margin (FY2027-2029), and 25% to revenue (FY2029 only).
- Retention Award: A specific retention award was granted to Philip J. Chesley consisting of 9,618 service-based RSUs and 9,618 PBRSUs tied to organic High Performance Analog (HPA) revenue growth for FY2027 and FY2028.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Merger Context: The filing references a previously announced merger with Skyworks Solutions, Inc. The Committee clarified that performance objectives for the PBRSUs will not be measured at the closing of the merger but will remain in place and eligible to be earned post-closing.
Vesting Conditions: Awards are subject to continued employment. In the event of a qualifying termination due to a change in control, RSUs vest in full, while PBRSUs remain subject to performance conditions.
Maximum Payout: Officers may earn up to 200% of the target number of FY2027 PBRSUs for each metric if objectives are met in full. Mr. Chesley may earn up to 100% of his retention PBRSUs.
