Guidance, Outlook, and Performance Criteria

The filing outlines specific performance criteria tied to executive compensation rather than providing general corporate guidance:

  • Cash Bonus Plan: Payouts are based 50% on Fiscal 2021 revenue targets and 50% on Fiscal 2021 non-GAAP operating margin targets. Bonuses scale linearly from 20% to 100% if targets are achieved between 90% and 100%.
  • PSUs and Stretch PSUs: Vesting is based on a 2-year performance period (Fiscal 2021 and 2022). Criteria are split 50% on cumulative revenue targets and 50% on cumulative non-GAAP operating margin targets. Stretch PSUs require higher thresholds than standard PSUs.
  • Vesting Schedule: RSUs vest in equal annual installments over three years. PSUs and Stretch PSUs vest following the 2-year performance period upon certification by the Compensation Committee.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Review Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release dated August 17, 2020) for actual revenue, profit, and margin figures for the quarter and year ended June 26, 2020.
  • Verify the specific numerical targets for Fiscal 2021 revenue and non-GAAP operating margin required to trigger executive bonuses, as these specific numbers are not listed in this filing.
  • Confirm the proration calculation for Toh-Seng Ng's bonus given his retirement status.
  • Monitor future filings for the certification of performance criteria for the 2-year PSU and Stretch PSU vesting periods.
