Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Named Executive Officers

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section discusses the compensation policies and programs for our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and our three next most highly paid executive officers during our fiscal year ended October 1, 2021 (“fiscal year 2021”), as determined under the rules of the SEC. We refer to this group of executive officers as our “Named Executive Officers.” For fiscal year 2021, our Named Executive Officers were:

• Liam K. Griffin, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President;

• Kris Sennesael, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

• Carlos S. Bori, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing;

• Robert J. Terry, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and

• Karilee A. Durham, Senior Vice President, Human Resources.

Engagement with Stockholders Regarding Executive Compensation

In evaluating and establishing our executive compensation policies and programs, our Compensation Committee values and actively considers the opinions expressed by our stockholders through the “say-on-pay” advisory vote at each annual stockholder meeting, as well as through our ongoing stockholder engagement efforts. In order to better understand the lack of broad stockholder support for the “say-on-pay” proposal at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the chairman of our Compensation Committee, Ms. King, took a leading role in our formal post-meeting stockholder outreach, in which we solicited feedback on our fiscal year 2020 compensation program from more than thirty of our largest institutional stockholders representing approximately 51% of the Company’s shares outstanding. Our Company management held subsequent engagement meetings with stockholders representing approximately 39% of the Company’s shares outstanding, including eight of our ten largest stockholders, with Ms. King joining more than a dozen meetings with stockholders representing approximately 34% of the Company’s shares outstanding.

During these conversations, our institutional stockholders generally expressed support for the Company’s strategy, performance, and management, with most stockholders who had voted against the “say-on-pay” proposal noting that such opposition had been primarily in response to the one-time stock-based compensation awards made to the Named Executive Officers in November 2019 to address significant retention concerns. Many stockholders, while supporting the majority of the Company’s compensation policies, nonetheless suggested modifications to specific plan designs, including to the metrics and performance periods under the Company’s long-term stock-based compensation program. After considering this input from our stockholders, as well as evaluating practices related to executive compensation by public companies generally, and our peer group specifically, our Compensation Committee committed to several key responsive changes to the Company’s compensation program. The following changes were adopted after the conclusion of the Company’s fiscal year 2021, which is described in this “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, and therefore generally apply beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2022 compensation program:

Approach for Determining Form and Amounts of Compensation

The Compensation Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Rules and non-employee directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, is responsible for determining all components and amounts of compensation to be paid to our Named Executive Officers, as well as any other executive officers or employees who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee sets compensation for the Named Executive Officers, including base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term stock-based incentives, at levels generally intended to be competitive with the compensation of comparable executives in semiconductor companies with which we compete for executive talent and to link the compensation of our Named Executive Officers to improvements in the Company’s financial performance and increases in stockholder value.

Compensation Program Objectives

The objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified executives to operate our business, and to link the compensation of those executives to improvements in the Company’s financial performance and increases in stockholder value. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee’s goals in establishing our executive compensation program include:

• ensuring that our executive compensation program is competitive with a group of companies in the semiconductor industry with which we compete for executive talent;

• providing a base salary that serves as the foundation of a compensation package that attracts and retains the executive talent needed to achieve our business objectives;

• providing short-term variable compensation that motivates executives and rewards them for achieving Company financial performance targets;

• providing long-term stock-based compensation that aligns the interest of our executives with stockholders by rewarding them for long-term increases in stockholder value; and

• ensuring that our executive compensation program is perceived as fundamentally fair to our employees.

Retention of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has engaged Aon/Radford Consulting (“Aon/Radford”) to assist in determining the components and amount of executive compensation. Aon/Radford reports directly to the Compensation Committee, through its chairman, and the Compensation Committee retains the right to terminate or replace the consultant at any time. The Compensation Committee has considered the relationships that Aon/Radford has with the Company, the members of the Compensation Committee and our executive officers, as well as the policies that Aon/Radford has in place to maintain its independence and objectivity, and has determined that Aon/Radford’s work for the Compensation Committee has not raised any conflicts of interest. Company management also purchases published compensation and benefits surveys from Aon/Radford, and on occasion engages certain affiliates of Aon/

Radford in various jurisdictions for services unrelated to executive compensation and benefits, engagements for which the Company’s management has not sought the Compensation Committee’s approval. The fees paid to Aon/Radford and its affiliates in fiscal year 2021 for these surveys and additional services did not exceed $120,000.

Use of Comparator Group Data

The Compensation Committee annually compares the components and amounts of compensation that we provide to our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other Named Executive Officers with “Comparator Group” data for each position an

• the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan

• the 2008 Director Long-Term Incentive Plan

• the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Except for the Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Non-Qualified ESPP”), each of the foregoing equity compensation plans was approved by the Company’s stockholders. A description of the material features of the Non-Qualified ESPP is provided below under the heading “Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan.”

The following table presents information about these plans as of October 1, 2021.

No further grants will be made under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

(3) Represents shares available under the Non-Qualified ESPP.

Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We maintain the Non-Qualified ESPP to provide employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase, by means of payroll deductions, of shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount from the market price of the common stock at the time of purchase. The Non-Qualified ESPP is intended for use primarily by employees located outside the United States. Under the plan, eligible employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of compensation. The price per share is the lower of 85% of the market price at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions: Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are described above in Item 11 “Executive Compensation,” since October 3, 2020, there has not been a transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company was or is a party involving an amount in excess of $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written related person transaction approval policy that sets forth the Company’s policies and procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of any transaction required to be reported in its filings with the SEC. The Company’s policy with regard to related person transactions is that all related person transactions between the Company and any related person (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) or their affiliates, in which the amount involved is equal to or greater than $120,000, be reviewed by the Company’s General Counsel and approved by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that employees discuss with the Company’s Compliance Officer any significant relationship (or transaction) that might raise doubt about such employee’s ability to act in the best interest of the Company.

Director Independence: Each year, the Board of Directors reviews the relationships that each director has with the Company and with other parties. Only those directors who do not have any of the categorical relationships that preclude them from being independent within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Rules and who the Board of Directors affirmatively determines have no relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director are considered to be independent directors. The Board of Directors has reviewed a number of factors to evaluate the independence of each of its members. These factors include its members’ current and historic relationships with the Company and its competitors, suppliers, and customers; their relationships with management and other directors; the relationships their current and former employers have with the Company; and the relationships between the Company and other companies of which a member of the Company’s Board of Directors is a director or executive officer. After evaluating these factors, the Board of Directors has determined that seven of the eight members of the Board of Directors, namely, Alan S. Batey, Kevin L. Beebe, Timothy R. Furey, Christine King, David P. McGlade, Robert A. Schriesheim, and Kimberly S. Stevenson, do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as directors and that each such director is an independent director of the Company within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Rules.

KPMG LLP provided audit services to the Company consisting of the annual audit of the Company’s 2021 consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and reviews of the financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal year 2021.

In 2003, the Audit Committee adopted a formal policy concerning approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP. The policy requires that all services provided by KPMG LLP, including audit services and permitted audit-related and non-audit services, be preapproved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee preapproved all audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP during fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2020.
