- Total Amount Awarded (Subject to Adjustment): $2,100,000
- Total Amount Paid (as of Dec 31, 2013): $1,680,000 (80% of awarded amounts)

Material Changes and Performance Criteria
The bonus pool calculation is contingent upon specific performance metrics relative to the prior year and the Serviceable Area Market (SAM):
- Revenue Growth: Must exceed the SAM growth (weighted 80% discrete products, 20% analog products).
- Net Income: Must exceed the prior year's net income, indexed to industry revenue growth.
- Payment Structure: 80% of the awarded bonus was paid immediately. The remaining 20% is contingent upon a positive net profit for fiscal 2013 and final adjustments based on audited financial statements and actual SAM performance (excluding Japan) as determined by WSTS.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, outlook, or general risk factors. The primary contingency noted is that the remaining balance of the executive bonuses is conditional on the company achieving a positive net profit for fiscal 2013 and final performance adjustments.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final audited net profit for fiscal 2013 to confirm eligibility for the remaining 20% of executive bonuses.
- Review the actual SAM performance data (excluding Japan) for 2013 versus 2012 as reported by WSTS to assess potential adjustments to the bonus pool.
- Confirm the final adjusted bonus amounts in the company's subsequent fiscal year-end filings (e.g., 10-K).
