Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition and relate to matters such as future financial performance, future operational performance, the anticipated impact of specific items on future earnings, and our plans, objectives and expectations. Statements containing words such as "may," "believe," "see," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "objective," "estimate," "develop," "should," "could," "will," "designed to," "projections," or "outlook," or other similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those projected. Potential factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the volatility of the Company’s financial results or impact of the cyclical nature of the industry, including during industry downturns or due to periodic economic uncertainty; the historical rapid decrease of the average selling prices of certain products; disruptions in U.S. or foreign government operations, funding or incentives; changes in export restrictions and laws affecting the Company’s trade and investments, including tariffs or retaliatory tariffs; interruption or loss of supplies or services from the limited number of suppliers and subcontractors the Company relies upon; suppliers’ manufacturing capacity constraints or other supply chain disruptions; failure to successfully develop and sell new products, meet new industry standards or requirements or anticipate changes in projected or end market users; failure to adequately protect intellectual property rights; failure to make the substantial investments in research and development that are required to remain competitive in the Company’s business or to properly anticipate competitive changes in the marketplace; the likelihood of products being found defective or risk of liability claims asserted against the Company; business interruptions, such as natural disasters, acts of violence and the outbreak of contagious diseases; adverse changes to general economic conditions in China; the loss of any one of the Company’s small number of customers or failure to collect a receivable from them; competition from new or established internet of things ("IoT"), cloud services and wireless service companies or from those with greater resources; the difficulties associated with integrating the Company’s and Sierra Wireless, Inc.’s businesses and operations successfully as well as difficulties executing other acquisitions or divestitures; discovery of additional material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the future or otherwise failing to achieve and maintain effective disclosure controls, procedures and internal control over financial reporting; changes in the Company’s effective tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or foreign tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities, or material differences between the Company’s forecasted annual effective tax rates and actual tax rates; the Company’s ability to comply with, or pursue business strategies due to, the Company’s level of indebtedness or the covenants under the agreements governing its indebtedness; and adverse developments affecting the financial services industry. Additionally, forward-looking statements should be considered in conjunction with the cautionary statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2025, including, without limitation, information under the captions "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and those set forth under "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with SEC. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein that may cause actual performance and results to differ materially from those predicted, any such forward-looking information should not be regarded as representations or guarantees by the Company of future performance or results, or that its objectives or plans will be achieved, or that any of its operating expectations or financial forecasts will be realized. Reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information contained herein, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to publicly release the results of any update or revision to any forward-looking statement that may be made to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated or future events, or otherwise.
In addition to regarding forward-looking statements with caution, you should consider that the preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to draw conclusions and make interpretations, judgments, assumptions and estimates with respect to certain factual, legal, and accounting matters. Our consolidated financial statements might have been materially impacted if we had reached different conclusions or made different interpretations, judgments, assumptions or estimates.

SEMTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Semtech Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Semtech") is a leading provider of high-performance semiconductor, Internet of Things ("IoT") systems and cloud connectivity service solutions. The end customers for the Company's silicon solutions are primarily original equipment manufacturers that produce and sell technology solutions. The Company's IoT module, router, gateway (together "IoT Hardware") and managed connectivity solutions ship to IoT device makers and enterprises to provide IoT connectivity to end devices.
The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a diverse portfolio of products for commercial applications, addressing the global infrastructure, high-end consumer and industrial end markets.
Basis of Presentation
The Company reports results on the basis of 52 and 53-week periods and ends its fiscal year on the last Sunday in January. The other quarters generally end on the last Sunday of April, July and October. All quarters consist of 13 weeks except for one 14-week period in the fourth quarter of 53-week years. The first quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 each consisted of 13 weeks.
Certain reclassifications within the Statements of Operations (as defined and described below) have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation, with no impact to the Company's gross profit, operating income, net income or earnings per share for any historical periods and no impact to the Balance Sheets or Statements of Cash Flows (as defined and described below).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025 ("Annual Report"). The Company's interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations are referred to herein as the "Statements of Operations," the Company's interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are referred to herein as the "Balance Sheets," and the Company's interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are referred to herein as the "Statements of Cash Flows." In the opinion of the Company, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances have been eliminated. Because the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report. The results reported in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-04, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to expand disclosures about specific expense categories. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose, in tabular format, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses. Although the ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories. The amendments are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires public business entities to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature and magnitude of factors contributing to the difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose (1) a tabular income tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, (2) separate disclosure of any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and disaggregation of certain items that are significant and (3) amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including separate disclosure of any individual jurisdictions representing greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and entities may apply the amendments prospectively or may elect retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings or loss per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable, calculated using the treasury stock method, upon the assumed exercise of non-qualified stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units, market-condition restricted stock units and financial metric-based restricted stock units if certain conditions have been met, but excludes such incremental shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect. Due to the Company's net loss for the three months ended April 28, 2024, all shares underlying stock options and restricted stock units were considered anti-dilutive.
Any dilutive effect of the Warrants (as defined in Note 8, Long-Term Debt) is calculated using the treasury-stock method. For the three months ended April 27, 2025 and April 28, 2024, the Warrants were excluded from diluted shares outstanding because the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company's common stock for the reporting periods, and for the three months ended April 28, 2024, they were also excluded due to net loss.

Restricted Stock Units, Employees
The Company grants restricted stock units to certain employees of which a portion are expected to be settled with shares of the Company's common stock and a portion are expected to be settled in cash. The restricted stock units that are to be settled with shares are accounted for as equity. The grant date for these awards is equal to the measurement date and they are valued as of the measurement date, based on the fair value of the Company's common stock at the grant date, and recognized as share-based compensation expense over the requisite vesting period (typically between 1 and 4 years). The restricted stock units that are to be settled in cash are accounted for as liabilities and the value of the awards is re-measured at the end of each reporting period until settlement at the end of the requisite vesting period (typically 3 years). In the three months ended April 27, 2025, the Company granted to certain employees 415,939 restricted stock units that settle in shares with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $35.20.
Restricted Stock Units, Non-Employee Directors
The Company maintains a compensation program pursuant to which restricted stock units are granted to the Company's directors who are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Under the Company's director compensation program in effect prior to the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, a portion of the restricted stock units granted under the program would be settled in cash and a portion would be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Restricted stock units granted under the program in connection with and following the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Restricted stock units awarded under the program are generally scheduled to vest on the earlier of (i) one year after the grant date or (ii) the day immediately preceding the first annual meeting of the Company's stockholders following the grant. Restricted stock units awarded under the program that are to be settled in cash will, subject to vesting, be settled when the director who received the award separates from service. Restricted stock units awarded under the program that are to be settled in shares of stock will, subject to vesting, be settled promptly following vesting; provided that a director may elect to defer the settlement date to the director's separation from service pursuant to the Company's Director Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company did not grant any restricted stock unit awards to non-employee directors in the three months ended April 27, 2025.
The restricted stock units that are to be settled in cash are accounted for as liabilities. These awards are not typically settled until a non-employee director's separation from service. The value of both the unvested and vested but unsettled awards are re-measured at the end of each reporting period until settlement. In the three months ended April 27, 2025, $3.1 million was paid to settle the vesting of 48,718 cash-settled restricted stock unit awards upon the separation of service of a former director. As of April 27, 2025, the total number of vested, but unsettled, shares subject to cash-settled restricted stock unit awards was 157,983 and the liability associated with these awards was $4.9 million, of which $2.2 million was included in "Accrued liabilities" in the Balance Sheets relating to two previous non-employee directors currently serving short-term non-employee consultancies for the Company. The remaining $2.7 million was included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the Balance Sheets as of April 27, 2025. As of January 26, 2025, the total number of vested, but unsettled, shares subject to cash-settled restricted stock unit awards was 206,701 and the liability associated with these awards was $14.5 million, of which $8.3 million was included in "Accrued liabilities" in the Balance Sheets relating to two previous non-employee directors currently serving short-term non-employee consultancies for the Company and one former non-employee director who separated from service. The remaining $6.2 million was included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the Balance Sheets as of January 26, 2025.
Financial Metric-Based Restricted Stock Units with a Market Condition
The Company grants financial metric-based restricted stock units with a market condition (the "Performance Awards") to certain executives of the Company, which are settled in shares and accounted for as equity awards. The Performance Awards have both a financial metric-based performance condition and a pre-defined market condition, which together determine the number of shares that ultimately vest, in addition to the condition of continued service. The number of vested shares for each of the three tranches of the awards, which are the one, two and three-year performance periods, is determined based on the Company's attainment of pre-established revenue and non-GAAP operating income targets for the respective performance period.
The vesting for tranches after the initial performance period is dependent on revenue and non-GAAP operating income for the preceding performance period. The market condition is determined based upon the Company's total stockholder return ("TSR") benchmarked against the TSR of an index over the three-year performance period. For fiscal year 2026 grants, the benchmark was against the Russell 3000 Index. The market condition functions as a catch-up provision in determining the vesting of the third tranche of the awards based on the performance over the full three-year performance period. Generally, the award recipients must be employed for the entire performance period and be an active employee at the time of vesting of the awards.
The grant-date fair values of the first and second tranches of the Performance Awards are valued using the closing stock price on the grant date and the grant-date fair value of the third tranche of the Performance Awards is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, which takes into consideration the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition. The compensation cost of the Performance Awards is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period based on the number of shares that are probable of attainment for each fiscal year.
In the three months ended April 27, 2025, the Company granted 327,330 Performance Awards. The weighted-average grant-date fair values for each of the one, two and three-year performance periods over which the Performance Awards vest were $32.33, $32.33 and $40.78, respectively. Under the terms of these awards, assuming the highest performance level of 200% with no cancellations due to forfeitures, the maximum potential number of shares that can be earned in aggregate for the cumulative fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028 performance periods would be 654,660 shares. In the three months ended April 27, 2025, 27,073 Performance Awards were forfeited due to the terminations of certain officers.

The Company's available-for-sale securities consist of investments in convertible debt instruments issued by privately-held companies and are recorded at fair value. See Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion of the valuation of the available-for-sale securities. The available-for-sale securities with maturities within one year are included in "Other current assets". Unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net" in the Balance Sheets, and realized gains or losses, as well as current expected credit loss reserves were recorded in "Non-operating expense, net" in the Statements of Operations.
Note 5: Fair Value Measurements
The following fair value hierarchy is applied for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value and prioritizes the inputs into three levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company's own assumptions, requiring significant management judgment or estimation.
Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company does not have any financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value. The fair values of financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were presented in the Balance Sheets as follows:

During the three months ended April 27, 2025, the Company had no transfers of financial assets between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. As of April 27, 2025 and January 26, 2025, the Company had not elected the fair value option for any financial assets for which such an election would have been permitted.
The convertible debt investments are valued utilizing a combination of estimates that are based on the estimated discounted cash flows associated with the debt and the fair value of the equity into which the debt may be converted, all of which are Level 3 inputs.
There were no changes in convertible debt investments in the three months ended April 27, 2025.
The interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value using readily available interest rate curves (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of each agreement is determined by comparing, for each settlement, the contract rate to the forward rate and discounting to the present value. Contracts in a gain position are recorded in "Other current assets" and "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets and the value of contracts in a loss position are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other long-term liabilities" in the Balance Sheets.
See Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of the Company's derivative instruments.
Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
Some of the Company's financial instruments are not measured at fair value, but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. Such financial assets and financial liabilities include: cash and cash equivalents including money market deposits, net receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued personnel costs, and other current liabilities. The Company's revolving loans and Term Loans (as defined in Note 8, Long-Term Debt) are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value as the debt instruments bear interest at a floating rate. The 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes (as defined in Note 8, Long-Term Debt) are carried at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs, with interest expense reflecting the cash coupon plus the amortization of the capitalized issuance costs. The estimated fair values are determined based on the actual bid prices of the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes as of the last business day of the period.
The following table displays the carrying values and fair values of the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes:

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level using either a qualitative or quantitative assessment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair market value of the reporting unit. As of April 27, 2025, there was no indication of impairment of the Company's goodwill balances.

(1) The revolving loans and Term Loans (as defined below) bear interest at variable rates based on Adjusted Term SOFR or a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin that varies based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 2.75 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $150.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a fixed Term SOFR rate of 3.58%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of April 27, 2025, the effective interest rate was a weighted-average rate that represented (a) interest on $150.0 million of the debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a fixed SOFR rate of 3.58% plus a margin and spread of 1.85% (total fixed rate of 5.43%), (b) interest on the remaining debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a floating SOFR rate of 4.32% plus a margin and spread of 1.85% (total floating rate of 6.17%), (c) interest on the 2027 Notes outstanding at a fixed rate of 1.625%, and (d) interest on the 2028 Notes outstanding at a fixed rate of 4.00%. As of January 26, 2025, the effective interest rate was a weighted average-rate that represented (a) interest on $150.0 million of the debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a fixed SOFR rate of 3.58% plus a margin and spread of 3.85% (total fixed rate of 7.43%), (b) interest on the remaining debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a floating SOFR rate of 4.36% plus a margin and spread of 3.85% (total floating rate of 8.21%),(c) interest on the 2027 Notes outstanding at a fixed rate of 1.625%, and (d) interest on the 2028 Notes outstanding at a fixed rate of 4.00%.
Credit Agreement
On November 7, 2019, we, with certain of our domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association ("HSBC Bank"), as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. On September 26, 2022 (the "Third Restatement Effective Date"), the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto, HSBC Bank, as resigning administrative agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), as successor administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The restated Credit Agreement, which was entered into substantially concurrently with the completion of the acquisition of Sierra Wireless, Inc. on January 12, 2023 (the "Sierra Wireless Acquisition") was entered into to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of $405.0 million of the $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments thereunder from November 7, 2024 to January 12, 2028, (ii) provide for incurrence by the Company on January 12, 2023 of term loans (the "Term Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $895.0 million, which was used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Sierra Wireless Acquisition, (iii) provide for JPM to succeed HSBC Bank as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement on January 12, 2023, (iv) modify the maximum consolidated leverage covenant as set forth in the Credit Agreement, (v) replace LIBOR with adjusted term SOFR and (vi) make certain other changes as set forth in the restated Credit Agreement, including changes consequential to the incorporation of the Term Loan Facility.
After effectiveness of the Fourth Amendment (as defined and described below), the borrowing capacity on the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") is $455.0 million, which is scheduled to mature on January 12, 2028 (subject to, in certain circumstances, an earlier springing maturity), and the term loans thereunder (the "Term Loans") are scheduled to mature on January 12, 2028 (subject to, in certain circumstances, an earlier springing maturity).
In fiscal year 2025, the Company repaid the outstanding amount of $68.3 million on the Revolving Credit Facility which matured on November 7, 2024 by borrowing against the remaining Revolving Credit Facility scheduled to mature on January 12, 2028. In fiscal 2025, the Company repaid an additional $215.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and repaid $441.4 million on the Term Loans.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company made an early repayment of $10.0 million on the Term Loans.
As of April 27, 2025, the Company had $171.2 million outstanding under the Term Loans and no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which had available undrawn borrowing capacity of $452.1 million, subject to net leverage limitations and customary conditions precedent, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.
Up to $40.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to obtain letters of credit, up to $25.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to obtain swing line loans, and up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to obtain revolving loans and letters of credit in certain currencies other than U.S. Dollars ("Alternative Currencies"). The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used by the Company for capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, permitted dividends, working capital and general corporate purposes.
On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into the first amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, in order to, among other things, (i) increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant for certain test periods as set forth therein, (ii) reduce the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant for certain test periods as set forth therein, (iii) provide that, during the period that financial covenant relief pursuant to the First Amendment is in effect, the interest rate margin for (1) Term SOFR loans is deemed to be 2.50% and (2) Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) loans is deemed to be 1.50% per annum and (iv) make certain other changes as set forth therein.
On June 6, 2023, the Company entered into the second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, in order to, among other things, (i) increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant for certain test periods as set forth therein and described below, (ii) reduce the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant for certain test periods as set forth therein and described below, (iii) modify the pricing grid applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement during the covenant relief period as set forth therein and described below, (iv) impose a minimum liquidity covenant for certain periods during the covenant relief period as set forth therein and described below, (v) increase the annual amortization in respect of the term loans thereunder to 7.5% per annum for certain periods as set forth therein, (vi) impose an "anti-cash hoarding" condition to the borrowing of revolving loans as set forth therein, (vii) provide that the maturity date for the Term Loans and revolving loans shall be the day that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the 2027 Notes and the 2028 Notes if such notes have not otherwise been refinanced or extended to at least 91 days after the stated maturity date of the Term Loans and revolving loans, the aggregate principal amount of non-extended outstanding 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes and certain replacement debt exceeds $50 million and a minimum liquidity condition is not satisfied, (viii) provide for the reduction of the aggregate revolving commitments thereunder by $100 million, (ix) require that the Company appoint a financial advisor and (x) make certain other modifications to the mandatory prepayments (including the imposition of an excess cash flow mandatory prepayment), collateral provisions and covenants (including additional limitations on debt, liens, investments and restricted payments such as dividends) as set forth therein.
Effective June 6, 2023, in connection with the Second Amendment, interest on loans made under the Credit Agreement in U.S. Dollars accrues, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) (x) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (y) a margin ranging from 0.25% to 2.75% depending upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio (except that, during the period that financial covenant relief is in effect (including during the extended covenant relief period provided pursuant to the Third Amendment), the margin will not be less than 2.25% per annum) or (2) (x) Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (y) a credit spread adjustment of (i) for term loans, 0.10% and (ii) for revolving credit borrowings, 0.11%, 0.26% or 0.43% for one, three and six month interest periods, respectively, plus (z) a margin ranging from 1.25% to 3.75% depending upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio (except that, during the period that financial covenant relief pursuant to the Third Amendment is in effect, the margin will not be less than 3.25% per annum) (such margin, the "Applicable Margin"). Interest on loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility in Alternative Currencies accrues at a rate per annum equal to a customary benchmark rate (including, in certain cases, credit spread adjustments) plus the Applicable Margin.
On October 19, 2023, the Company entered into the third amendment (the "Third Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, in order to, among other things, (i) extend the financial covenant relief period by one year to April 30, 2026, (ii) increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant for certain test periods as set forth in the Third Amendment, (iii) reduce the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant for certain test periods as set forth in the Third Amendment and (iv) make certain other changes as set forth therein. These amendments had the effect of extending and temporarily expanding financial covenant relief under the Credit Agreement previously provided for in the First Amendment and Second Amendment.
On April 24, 2025, the Company entered into the fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, in order to, among other things, increase the total available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility by $117.5 million increasing the total facility size to $455.0 million. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
All of the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by all of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, any domestic subsidiary the primary assets of which consist of equity or debt of non-U.S. subsidiaries, certain immaterial non-wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and subsidiaries that are prohibited from providing a guarantee under applicable law or that would require governmental approval to provide such guarantee. The Company and the guarantors have also pledged substantially all of their assets to secure their obligations under the Credit Agreement.
No amortization is required with respect to the revolving loans. Effective June 6, 2023, in connection with the Second Amendment, the Term Loans amortize (x) during the period that financial covenant relief is in effect (including during the extended covenant relief period provided pursuant to the Third Amendment), in equal quarterly installments of 1.875% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Third Restatement Effective Date, and (y) otherwise, in equal quarterly installments of 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Third Restatement Effective Date, with the balance due at maturity. The Company may voluntarily prepay borrowings at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage costs" in certain circumstances. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company made a $250 million prepayment on the Term Loans in connection with the Third Amendment, after which there is no scheduled amortization remaining on the Term Loans.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representation and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company's ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, create liens on assets, engage in certain fundamental corporate changes, make investments, repurchase stock, pay dividends or make similar distributions, engage in certain affiliate transactions, or enter into agreements that restrict the Company's ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments. In addition, the Company must comply with financial covenants which, after effectiveness of the Third Amendment are as follows (in each case, during the covenant relief period):
•maintaining a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of (i) 8.17 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around October 31, 2023, (ii) 10.27 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around January 31, 2024, (iii) 10.21 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around April 30, 2024, (iv) 9.93 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around July 31, 2024, (v) 8.42 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around October 31, 2024, (vi) 7.68 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around January 31, 2025, (vii) ) 6.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around April 30, 2025, (viii) 6.28 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around July 31, 2025, (ix) 5.81 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around October 31, 2025, (x) 5.30 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around January 31, 2026, and (xi) 3.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around April 30, 2026 and each fiscal quarter thereafter, subject to increase to 4.25 to 1.00 for the four full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after the date of consummation of a permitted acquisition that constitutes a "Material Acquisition" under the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions;
•maintaining a minimum consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of (i) 1.66 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around October 31, 2023, (ii) 1.40 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around January 31, 2024, (iii) 1.37 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around April 30, 2024, (iv) 1.41 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around July 31, 2024, (v) 1.73 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around October 31, 2024, (vi) 1.90 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around January 31, 2025, (vii) 2.14 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around April 30, 2025, (viii) 2.37 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around July 31, 2025, (ix) 2.68 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around October 31, 2025, (x) 3.01 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around January 31, 2026, and (xi) 3.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or around April 30, 2026 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; and
•until January 31, 2025, maintaining a minimum consolidated liquidity (as further defined in the Credit Agreement but excluding revolving credit commitments scheduled to expire in 2024) of $150 million as of the last day of each monthly accounting period of the Company.
Upon the termination of the covenant relief period under the Third Amendment, the ratio levels set forth above with respect to the leverage and interest expense coverage financial covenants are subject to step-up as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and the liquidity covenant shall no longer apply.
Compliance with the leverage and interest expense coverage financial covenants is measured quarterly based upon the Company's performance over the most recent four quarters, and compliance with the liquidity covenant is measured as of the last day of each monthly accounting period. As of April 27, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary provisions pertaining to events of default. If any event of default occurs, the obligations under the Credit Agreement may be declared due and payable, terminated upon written notice to us and existing letters of credit may be required to be cash collateralized.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 2.75 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $150.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.58%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 5 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $450.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.44%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. This interest rate swap agreement was terminated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 due to partial repayment of the Term Loans.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2027
On October 12, 2022 and October 21, 2022, the Company issued and sold $300.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") in a private placement. The 2027 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated October 12, 2022, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "2027 Indenture"). The 2027 Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company's current and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its borrowings under its Credit Agreement. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2023. The 2027 Notes will mature on November 1, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The initial conversion rate of the 2027 Notes is 26.8325 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $37.27 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2027 Indenture but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2027 Indenture) or if the Company delivers a Notice of Sale Price Redemption (as defined in the 2027 Indenture), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock as described in the 2027 Indenture for a holder who elects to convert its 2027 Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or to convert its 2027 Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the 2027 Indenture) for redemption in connection with such Notice of Sale Price Redemption, as the case may be.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2027, the 2027 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders thereof only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ended on January 29, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the Trading Price (as defined in the 2027 Indenture), as determined following a request by a holder of the 2027 Notes in accordance with the procedures described in the 2027 Indenture, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2027 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2027 Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the 2027 Indenture) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the 2027 Indenture. As of April 27, 2025, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2027 Notes to convert had been met. On or after July 1, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2027 Notes, holders of the 2027 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2027 Notes, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the 2027 Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or any combination thereof, at the Company's option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes being converted.
The Company may not redeem the 2027 Notes prior to November 5, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2027 Notes (subject to the limitation described below), at the Company's option, on or after November 5, 2025 and before the 61st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the related notice of sale price redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company redeems less than all the outstanding 2027 Notes, at least $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2027 Notes.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2027 Indenture) prior to the maturity date of the 2027 Notes, holders of the 2027 Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the 2027 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the 2027 Indenture).
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions
On October 6, 2022 and October 19, 2022, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the "Convertible Note Hedge Transactions") with an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers of the 2027 Notes and another financial institution (collectively, the "Counterparties") whereby the Company has the option to purchase the same number of shares of the Company's common stock initially underlying the 2027 Notes in the aggregate for approximately $37.27 per share, which is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2027 Notes.
The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions will expire upon the maturity of the 2027 Notes, if not earlier exercised. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution to the common stock upon the conversion of the 2027 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2027 Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of common stock, as measured under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, which initially corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes, or approximately $37.27 per share of the common stock. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with each of the Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions. The Company used approximately $72.6 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2027 Notes to pay the cost of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Balance Sheets as they do not require classification outside of equity pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480 and qualify for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815.
Warrant Transactions
On October 6, 2022 and on October 19, 2022, the Company separately entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (the "Warrants") with the Counterparties whereby the holders of the Warrants have the option to acquire, collectively, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 8.6 million shares of the Company's common stock at an initial strike price of approximately $51.15 per share. The Warrants were sold in private placements to the Counterparties pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. If the market price per share of the common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrants, exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants could have a dilutive effect on the common stock, unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the Warrants in cash. The Warrants will expire over a period beginning in February 2028.
The Warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with each of the Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Warrants. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $42.9 million from the sale of the Warrants to the Counterparties. The Warrants are recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Balance Sheets as they do not require classification outside of equity pursuant to ASC 480 and qualify for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815.
In combination, the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and the Warrants are intended to synthetically increase the strike price of the conversion option of the 2027 Notes from approximately $37.27 to $51.15 (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such transactions), with the expected result of reducing the dilutive effect of the 2027 Notes in exchange for a net cash premium of $29.7 million.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2028
On October 26, 2023, the Company issued and sold $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") in a private placement. The 2028 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated October 26, 2023, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "2028 Indenture"). The 2028 Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company's current and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its borrowings under its Credit Agreement. The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2024. The 2028 Notes will mature on November 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of April 27, 2025, approximately $62.0 million of the 2028 Notes remained outstanding.
The initial conversion rate of the 2028 Notes is 49.0810 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $20.37 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2028 Indenture but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2028 Indenture) or if the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption (as defined in the 2028 Indenture), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock as described in the 2028 Indenture for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or to convert its 2028 Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the 2028 Indenture) for redemption in connection with such Notice of Redemption, as the case may be.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 1, 2028, the 2028 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders thereof only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ended on January 28, 2024 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the Trading Price (as defined in the 2028 Indenture), as determined following a request by a holder of the 2028 Notes in accordance with the procedures described in the Indenture, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2028 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2028 Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the 2028 Indenture) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the 2028 Indenture. As of April 27, 2025, one of the conditions allowing the holders of the 2028 Notes to convert had been met. The trading price of the Company's common stock remained above 130% of the applicable $20.37 conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive-trading day period ending on, and including April 25, 2025 (the last trading day of the fiscal quarter ended April 27, 2025) resulting in the right of the holders of the 2028 Notes to convert the 2028 Notes beginning April 28, 2025 through July 24, 2025 (the last trading day of the fiscal quarter ending July 27, 2025). Should the holders of the 2028 Notes elect to convert some or all of the 2028 Notes, the Company intends to draw on its Revolving Credit Facility to settle the obligation.
In addition, on or after August 1, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2028 Notes, holders of the 2028 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2028 Notes, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the 2028 Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or any combination thereof, at the Company's option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes being converted.
The Company may not redeem the 2028 Notes prior to November 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Notes (subject to the limitation described below), at the Company's option, on or after November 5, 2026 and before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the related notice of sale price redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company redeems less than all the outstanding 2028 Notes, at least $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2028 Notes.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2028 Indenture) prior to the maturity date of the 2028 Notes, holders of the 2028 Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the 2028 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the 2028 Indenture).
Exchange of 2028 Notes
On July 11, 2024 and July 15, 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") with certain holders of the 2028 Notes. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, on July 24, 2024 certain holders exchanged with the Company approximately $188.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes held by them for an aggregate of 10,378,431 shares of the Company's common stock, which number of shares was determined over an averaging period that commenced on July 12, 2024.

As of April 27, 2025 and January 26, 2025, there was $2.9 million outstanding under the letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Note 9: Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the regional mix of income, changes in valuation allowance, research and development ("R&D") tax credits and impact of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"). The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act requires R&D costs incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities are conducted. The Company has elected to treat GILTI as a period cost and the additional capitalization of R&D costs within GILTI increases the Company's provision for income taxes.
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") published a framework for a new global minimum tax of 15% ("Pillar Two") on income arising in low-tax jurisdictions, and certain governments in countries where the Company operates have enacted local Pillar Two legislation, with an effective date from January 1, 2024. The Company currently does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its provision for income taxes; however, any future changes in OECD guidance or interpretations could adversely impact the Company’s initial assessment.
The Company uses a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions ("UTP"). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained in audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (before the federal impact of state items) is as follows:

Included in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits at April 27, 2025 and January 26, 2025 are $5.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of net tax benefits (after the federal impact of state items), that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate, prior to consideration of any required valuation allowance. The Company does not anticipate any events to occur during the next twelve months that would materially reduce the unrealized tax benefit as currently stated in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The liability for UTP is reflected in the Balance Sheets as follows:

The Company's policy is to include net interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the "Provision (benefit) for income taxes" in the Statements of Operations.
Tax years prior to 2020 (the Company's fiscal year 2021) are generally not subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. The Company's fiscal year 2023 federal income tax return is currently in the preliminary stages of examination by the IRS, and any potential adjustments are unknown at this time. For state returns in the U.S., the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for calendar years prior to 2019 (the Company's fiscal year 2020). The Company has a significant tax presence in Switzerland for which Swiss tax filings have been examined through fiscal year 2020. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax examinations cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company's tax examinations are resolved in a manner not consistent with the Company's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

Note 10: Leases
The Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, and office equipment, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, "Leases." Real estate leases are used to secure office space for the Company's administrative, engineering, production support and manufacturing activities. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately seven years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year.

Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims, litigation, and other legal actions that are normal to the nature of its business, including with respect to intellectual property, contract, product liability, employment, and environmental matters. In accordance with ASC 450-20, "Loss Contingencies," the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if material and if the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. However, for liabilities that are reasonably possible but not probable, the Company discloses the amount of reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss, if material and if the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages, (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions or settlements, (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved, and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any.
Because the outcomes of litigation and other legal matters are inherently unpredictable, the Company's evaluation of legal matters or proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. While the consequences of certain unresolved matters and proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations in any given reporting period. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
As such, even though the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to its legal matters, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
On March 25, 2022, Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbH and several of its affiliates (collectively "Harman") filed a complaint against certain Sierra Entities in the District Court of Munich, Germany. Harman asserted claims that the Sierra Entities, in connection with the delivery of certain modules by the Sierra Entities, violated a frame supply agreement, a quality assurance agreement and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods. Harman alleged that it incurred approximately $16 million in damages and costs, the bulk of which amount related to settling with a customer that had to implement a firmware update provided by Sierra Entities' supplier in late 2018, before Sierra Wireless disposed of the automotive business, to address the alleged product defect. At this stage, the Company is unable to form a conclusion as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or an estimate of the amount or range of any possible loss resulting from the alleged claims. The Company intends to defend the claims vigorously.
On February 20, 2025, February 25, 2025 and March 7, 2025, three Company stockholders filed separate, but substantively identical, putative class action complaints against the Company and certain of its current officers, Hong Q. Hou and Mark Lin, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between August 27, 2024 and February 7, 2025. A motion to consolidate these cases and appoint a lead plaintiff is currently pending before the Court. The complaints assert Exchange Act violations related to the Company’s disclosure surrounding its CopperEdgeTM products. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and other relief. At this stage, the Company is unable to form a conclusion as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or an estimate of the amount or range of any possible loss resulting from the alleged claims.
On May 9, 2025, another Company stockholder filed a derivative complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against certain of the Company's directors and officers. The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and other claims based on factual allegations similar to those raised in the putative class action complaints. The plaintiff seeks damages payable to the Company and declaratory, injunctive and other relief.
Environmental Matters
The Company vacated a former facility in Newbury Park, California in 2002, but continues to address groundwater and soil contamination at the site. The Company's efforts to address site conditions have been at the direction of the Los Angeles
Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB"). In October 2013, an order was issued including a scope of proposed additional site work, monitoring, and remediation activities. The Company has been complying with RWQCB orders and direction, and continues to implement an approved remedial action plan addressing the soil, groundwater, and soil vapor at the site.
The Company has accrued liabilities where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the cost or amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the latest determinations by the RWQCB and the most recent actions taken pursuant to the remedial action plan, the Company estimates the total range of probable loss to be between $7.9 million and $9.4 million. To date, the Company has made $7.7 million in payments towards the remedial action plan. As of April 27, 2025, the estimated range of probable loss remaining was between $0.2 million and $1.7 million. Given the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and the remediation activities, the Company is unable to determine a best estimate within the range of loss. Therefore, the Company has recorded the minimum amount of probable loss and as of April 27, 2025, has a remaining accrual of $0.2 million related to this matter. These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, further actions from the regulatory agency, remediation technology, and other factors.
Indemnification
The Company has entered into agreements with its current and former executives and directors indemnifying them against certain liabilities incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also contain indemnification obligations with respect to the Company's current directors and employees.
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which the Company may be obligated to indemnify a third party with respect to certain matters. The impact on the Company's future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the final outcome of any claims and whether claims will be made.
Product Warranties
The Company's general warranty policy provides for repair or replacement of defective parts. In some cases, a refund of the purchase price is offered. In certain instances, the Company has agreed to other or additional warranty terms, including indemnification provisions.
The product warranty accrual reflects the Company's best estimate of probable liability under its product warranties. The Company accrues for known warranty issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical experience. Historically, warranty expense and the related accrual has been immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Licenses
Under certain license agreements, the Company is committed to make royalty payments based on the sales of products using certain technologies. The Company recognizes royalty obligations as determinable in accordance with agreement terms.
Deferred Compensation
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain officers and key executives that allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation for future distribution at various times permitted by the plan. This plan provides for a discretionary Company match up to a defined portion of the employee's deferral, with any match subject to a defined vesting schedule.
The Company's liability for the deferred compensation plan is presented below:

The Company has purchased whole life insurance on the lives of certain current deferred compensation plan participants. This corporate-owned life insurance is held in a grantor trust and is intended to cover a majority of the Company's costs of the deferred compensation plan.
The cash surrender value of the corporate-owned life insurance was $37.3 million and $34.9 million as of April 27, 2025 and January 26, 2025, respectively, and is included in "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets.
Note 12: Restructuring
From time to time, the Company takes steps to realign the business to focus on high-growth areas, provide customer value and make the Company more efficient. As a result, the Company has re-aligned resources and infrastructure, which resulted in restructuring charges related to one-time employee termination benefits of $1.2 million in the three months ended April 27, 2025, compared to restructuring charges of $2.3 million in the three months ended April 28, 2024 resulting from the realization of synergies of the Sierra Wireless Acquisition. Restructuring related liabilities are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the Balance Sheets and restructuring charges were included in "Restructuring" in the Statements of Operations.
Restructuring activity is summarized as follows:

Outside Subcontractors and Suppliers
The Company relies on a limited number of third-party subcontractors and suppliers for the supply of silicon wafers, chipsets and other electronic components, and for product manufacturing, packaging, testing and certain other tasks. Disruption or termination of supply sources or subcontractors have delayed and could in the future delay shipments and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although there are generally alternate sources for these materials and services, qualification of the alternate sources could cause delays sufficient to have a material adverse effect on the Company. A significant amount of the Company's third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including third-party foundries that supply silicon wafers, are located in the U.S., China, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam. A significant amount of the Company's assembly and test operations are conducted by third-party contractors in China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Note 14: Segment Information
The Company's Chief Executive Officer functions as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on the net sales and gross profit of the Company's major product lines, which represent its operating segments, to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The Company currently has three operating segments—Signal Integrity ("SIP"), Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless ("AMW"), and IoT Systems and Connectivity ("ISC")—that represent three separate reportable segments. The SIP reportable segment consists of a portfolio of optical and copper data communications and video transport products used in a wide variety of infrastructure and industrial applications. The AMW reportable segment provides infrastructure, industrial and high-end customers with high-performance protection devices and a portfolio of specialized radio frequency products. The SIP and AMW reportable segments together constitute our Semiconductor Products business. The ISC reportable segment provides industrial customers with an IoT solutions portfolio that includes a wide range of modules, gateways, routers, and connected services.
The Company’s assets are commingled among the various operating segments and the CODM does not use asset information in making operating decisions or assessing performance. Therefore, the Company has not included asset information by reportable segment in the segment disclosures below.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2023-07 for the year ended January 26, 2025, on a retrospective basis and included enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments.
Net sales and gross profit by reportable segment were as follows:

Note 15: Stock Repurchase Program
The Company maintains a stock repurchase program that was initially approved by its board of directors (the "Board of Directors") in March 2008. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the Board of Directors has authorized expansion of the program over the years. On March 11, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the stock repurchase program by an additional $350.0 million. There was no activity under the stock repurchase program during the three months ended April 27, 2025 and April 28, 2024. As of April 27, 2025, the remaining authorization under the program was $209.4 million. Under the program, the Company may repurchase its common stock at any time or from time to time, without prior notice, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The Company's repurchases may be made through Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 or other trading plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or other transactions. To the extent the Company repurchases any shares of its common stock under the program in the future, the Company expects to fund such repurchases from cash on hand and borrowings on its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time.
Note 16: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 2.75 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $150.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.58%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 5 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $450.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.44%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. This interest rate swap agreement was terminated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 due to partial repayment of the Term Loans.
The interest rate swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and unrealized gains or losses, net of income tax, are recorded as a component of AOCI in the Balance Sheets. As the various settlements are made on a monthly basis, the realized gain or loss on the settlements are recorded in "Interest expense" in the Statements of Operations. The interest rate swap agreements resulted in a realized gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended April 27, 2025, compared to a realized gain of $2.8 million for the three months ended April 28, 2024.

Recent Developments
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 24, 2025, we entered into the fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement (as defined below). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Company's Credit Agreement was amended, in order to, among other things, increase the total available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") by $117.5 million increasing the total facility size to $455.0 million. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged. For additional information, see Note 8, Long-Term Debt to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions
As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025, the Company’s business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs and other trade barriers put in the place by government authorities. The imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers by government authorities on imported goods, including raw materials and components essential to our manufacturing processes, could have significant adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the U.S. government imposed additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries ("U.S. Tariffs") and multiple countries and groups of countries imposed, or threatened to impose, reciprocal tariffs on imports from the U.S. and other retaliatory measures. Various modifications and delays to the U.S. Tariffs have been announced and further changes are expected to be made in the future, which may include additional sector-based tariffs or other measures. The ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on several factors, including whether additional or incremental U.S. Tariffs or other measures are announced or imposed, to what extent other countries implement tariffs or other retaliatory measures in response, and the overall magnitude and duration of these measures. The Company continues to monitor and analyze the impacts of these measures and actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize their effects.
In recent periods, macroeconomic factors such as market volatility, inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, geopolitical tensions and recessionary concerns have caused uncertainty in end customer demand, which resulted in elevated channel inventories. We believe that we can continue to take appropriate actions to align our inventory levels with anticipated customer demand profiles.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Most of our sales to customers are made on the basis of individual customer purchase orders and many customers include cancellation provisions in their purchase orders. We rely on orders received and shipped within the same quarter for a meaningful portion of our sales. Net sales made through independent distributors during the first quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 were 71% and 73%, respectively, of net sales and the remainder were made directly to customers.
We are a global business with customers and suppliers around the world. A significant amount of our third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including third-party foundries that supply silicon wafers, are located outside the United States, including China, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam. A significant amount of our assembly and test operations are conducted by third-party contractors located outside the United States, including China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam. Net sales outside the United States constituted 82% and 79% during the first quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively. Approximately 63% and 64% of our net sales during the first quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, were to customers located in the Asia-Pacific region. We are subject to export restrictions and trade regulations, which have limited our ability to sell to certain customers in certain regions. In addition, changes in tariffs or the imposition of retaliatory tariffs may impact our net sales, gross profit, and gross margin if we are unable to pass higher costs on to our customers.
We use several metrics as indicators of future potential growth. The indicators that we believe best correlate to potential future sales growth are design wins and new product releases. There are many factors that may cause a design win or new product release to not result in sales, including a customer decision not to go to system production, a change in a customer’s perspective regarding a product’s value or a customer’s product failing in the end market. As a result, although a design win or new product release is an important step towards generating future sales, it does not necessarily result in us being awarded business or receiving a purchase commitment.
Further, inflationary factors have in the past affected, and could continue to affect, our future performance if we are unable to pass higher costs on to our customers.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, gross profit increased $31.7 million to $131.3 million from $99.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. This increase was primarily driven by a $15.7 million increase from Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless, which experienced higher sales led by LoRa-enabled products due to stronger demand, a $13.4 million increase from Signal Integrity, which experienced higher sales led by data center sales due to stronger demand, partially offset by lower telecommunications sales, and a $2.8 million increase from IoT Systems and Connectivity, primarily driven by higher IoT Hardware sales due to stronger demand.
Our gross margin was 52.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to 48.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Gross margin for our Signal Integrity segment was 65.5% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to 59.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to higher volume and favorable product mix. Gross margin for our Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless segment was 62.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to 54.0% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to higher volume and favorable product mix. Gross margin for our IoT Systems and Connectivity segment was 34.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to 37.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to unfavorable product mix.

Product Development and Engineering Expenses
Product development and engineering expenses increased $5.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 primarily as a result of a $4.5 million net increase in staffing-related costs from higher supplemental compensation and a $0.9 million increase in new product introduction expenses. The levels of product development and engineering expenses reported in a fiscal period can be significantly impacted, and therefore experience period over period volatility, by the number of new product tape-outs and by the timing of recoveries from engineering services, which are typically recorded as a reduction to product development and engineering expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 primarily as a result of an $8.1 million net decrease in staffing-related costs driven by lower share-based compensation caused by the impact of the lower closing stock price as of period-end on the cash-settled awards, offset by a $1.9 million increase in consulting expenses and a $0.7 million increase in travel.
Intangible Amortization
Intangible amortization was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the first quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amortization of acquired technology intangible assets is reflected in cost of sales.
Restructuring
Restructuring expenses decreased by $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 due to the structural reorganization actions primarily in the prior year period to reduce our workforce as a result of cost-saving measures and internal resource alignment including from the realization of synergies of the Sierra Wireless Acquisition.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, including amortization and a write-off of deferred financing costs, was $6.6 million and $23.2 million for the first quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to interest savings as a result of approximately $188.1 million of 2028 Notes extinguished in exchange for common stock, and debt repayment of $215.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and $441.4 million on the Term Loans (as defined below) in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2025, respectively.
Investment Impairments and Credit Loss Reserves, Net
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we did not record any investment impairments and credit loss reserves. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, investment impairments and credit loss reserves, net totaled a loss of $1.1 million due to an other-than-temporary impairment on one of our non-marketable equity investments.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $8.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to income tax expense of $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The change in our tax provision for the three months ended April 27, 2025, compared to the three months ended April 28, 2024 was primarily due to a regional mix of income and changes in valuation allowance. The effective tax rates in the first quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to a regional mix of income, changes in valuation allowance, impact of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and research and development ("R&D") credits. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") requires R&D costs incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities are conducted. We have elected to treat GILTI as a period cost and the additional capitalization of R&D costs within GILTI increases our provision for income taxes.
As a global organization, we are subject to audit by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. To the extent that an audit, or the closure of a statute of limitations, results in adjusting our reserves for uncertain tax positions, our effective tax rate could experience extreme volatility since any adjustment would be recorded as a discrete item in the period of adjustment.
For further information on the effective tax rate and the Tax Act's impact, see Note 9, Income Taxes, to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base; the success, timing and amount of investment required to bring new products to market; sales growth or decline; potential acquisitions or divestitures; the general economic environment in which we operate; and our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities.
We believe that our cash on hand, expected cash generation from future operations and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility are sufficient to meet liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months, including funds needed for our material cash requirements. As of April 27, 2025, we had $156.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $452.1 million of available undrawn borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility, subject to net leverage limitations and customary conditions precedent, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults. Over the longer-term, we expect to fund our business using cash flows from operating activities.
As of April 27, 2025 and January 26, 2025, there was $2.9 million outstanding under the letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.
A meaningful portion of our capital resources, and the liquidity they represent, are held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. As of April 27, 2025, our foreign subsidiaries held $136.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $139.1 million at January 26, 2025. Our liquidity may be impacted by fluctuating exchange rates. For additional information on exchange rates, see Item 3–Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In connection with the enactment of the Tax Act, all historic and current foreign earnings are taxed in the U.S. Depending on the jurisdiction, these foreign earnings are potentially subject to a withholding tax, if repatriated. As of April 27, 2025, our historical undistributed earnings prior to fiscal year 2023 of our foreign subsidiaries are intended to be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. With the enactment of the Tax Act, which amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, all post-1986 previously unremitted earnings for which no U.S. deferred tax liability had been accrued were subject to U.S. tax. As a result of the U.S. taxation of these amounts, we have determined that none of the foreign earnings from fiscal year 2023 onward will be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. If we needed to remit all or a portion of our historical undistributed earnings to the U.S. for investment in our domestic operations, any such remittance could result in increased tax liabilities and a higher effective tax rate. Determination of the amount of the unrecognized potential deferred tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practicable.
We expect our future non-operating uses of cash will be for capital expenditures and debt repayment. We expect to fund these cash requirements through cash flows from operating activities.
Credit Agreement
On September 26, 2022 (the "Third Restatement Effective Date"), we entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer.
On April 24, 2025, we entered into the Fourth Amendment, in order to, among other things, increase the total available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility by $117.5 million, increasing the total facility size to $455.0 million. The increase partially replaces borrowing capacity that matured on November 7, 2024. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
After effectiveness of the Fourth Amendment, the borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility is $455.0 million, which is scheduled to mature on January 12, 2028 (subject to, in certain circumstances, an earlier springing maturity), and the term loans thereunder (the "Term Loans") are scheduled to mature on January 12, 2028 (subject to, in certain circumstances, an earlier springing maturity).
As of April 27, 2025, the Company had $171.2 million outstanding under the Term Loans and no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which had available undrawn borrowing capacity of $452.1 million, subject to net leverage limitations and customary conditions precedent, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.
Up to $40.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to obtain letters of credit, up to $25.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to obtain swing line loans, and up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to obtain revolving loans and letters of credit in certain currencies other than U.S. Dollars. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used by us for capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, permitted dividends, working capital and general corporate purposes.
As of April 27, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial covenants in our Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains customary provisions pertaining to events of default. If any event of default occurs, the obligations under the Credit Agreement may be declared due and payable, terminated upon written notice to us and existing letters of credit may be required to be cash collateralized.
See Note 8, Long-Term Debt to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the terms of the Credit Agreement.
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of interest payments on debt outstanding under the Term Loans. See Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2027
On October 12, 2022 and October 21, 2022, we issued and sold $300.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") in a private placement. The 2027 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated October 12, 2022, by and among us, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2023. The 2027 Notes will mature on November 1, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2027 Notes are not currently redeemable and, as of April 28, 2024, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2027 Notes to convert had been met. The 2027 Notes were initially issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
We used approximately $72.6 million of the net proceeds from the 2027 Notes to pay for the cost of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, after such cost was partially offset by approximately $42.9 million of proceeds to us from the sale of Warrants in connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, all as defined and described in Note 8, Long-Term Debt to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrants transactions are indexed to, and potentially settled in, our common stock and the net cost of $29.7 million has been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit). We used the remaining net proceeds to fund a portion of the consideration in the Sierra Wireless Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. For additional information on the 2027 Notes, Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and the Warrants, see Note 8, Long-Term Debt to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2028
On October 26, 2023, we issued and sold $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes in a private placement. The 2028 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated October 26, 2023, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2024. The 2028 Notes will mature on November 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of April 27, 2025, approximately $62.0 million of the 2028 Notes remained outstanding. The 2028 Notes were offered and sold only to eligible purchasers who are both "qualified institutional buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.
The 2028 Notes are not currently redeemable by the Company. The 2028 Notes may be converted at the option of the holders at the times and under the circumstances and at the conversion rate described in Note 8, Long-Term Debt, to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of April 27, 2025, one of the conditions allowing holders of the 2028 Notes to convert had been met. The trading price of our common stock remained above 130% of the applicable $20.37 conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, October 25, 2024 (the last trading day of the quarter ended April 27, 2025), resulting in the right of the holders of the 2028 Notes to convert their 2028 Notes beginning April 28, 2025 through July 25, 2025 (the last trading day of the quarter ending July 27, 2025). Should the holders of the 2028 Notes elect to convert some or all of the outstanding 2028 Notes, the Company intends to draw on its Revolving Credit Facility to settle the obligation.
On July 11, 2024 and July 15, 2024, we entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") with certain holders of the 2028 Notes. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, certain holders of the 2028 Notes exchanged with us approximately $188.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes held by them for an aggregate of 10,378,431 shares of our common stock, which number of shares was determined over an averaging period that commenced on July 12, 2024.
For additional information on the 2028 Notes, see Note 8, Long-Term Debt to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Capital Expenditures and Research and Development
We incur significant expenditures in order to fund the development, design and manufacture of new products. We intend to continue to focus on those areas that have shown potential for viable and profitable market opportunities, which may require additional investment in equipment and the hiring of additional design and application engineers aimed at developing new products. Certain of these expenditures, particularly the addition of design engineers, do not generate significant payback in the short-term. We plan to finance these expenditures with cash generated by our operating activities, our existing cash balances and additional draws on our Revolving Credit Facility, as needed. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility are subject to customary conditions precedent, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of any defaults under the facility.
Portfolio Rationalization
We are continuing to conduct a portfolio rationalization review, which has included identifying non-core assets in an effort to align our portfolio with our strategic vision and preferred margin profile. As part of the portfolio rationalization review, we are reviewing potential strategic alternatives for certain of our non-core assets. No decision has been made regarding any strategic alternative or any particular asset, and there is no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transactions, nor any specified timeline.
Purchases under our Stock Repurchase Program
We currently have in effect a stock repurchase program that was initially approved by our Board of Directors in March 2008. On March 11, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the stock repurchase program by an additional $350.0 million. Under the program, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may repurchase our common stock at any time or from time to time, without prior notice, subject to market conditions and other considerations. Our repurchases may be made through Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 or other trading plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or other transactions.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the program in the first three months of fiscal year 2026 or in the first three months of fiscal year 2025. As of April 27, 2025, the remaining authorization under the program was $209.4 million. To the extent we repurchase any shares of our common stock under the program in the future, we expect to fund such repurchases from cash on hand and borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. We have no obligation to repurchase any shares under the program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time.
Working Capital
Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities including the current portion of long-term debt, fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may increase as we purchase additional manufacturing materials and increase production. In addition, our working capital may be affected by potential acquisitions and transactions involving our debt instruments. Although investments made to fund working capital will reduce our cash balances, these investments are necessary to support business and operating initiatives.
Material Cash Requirements
Except as disclosed above, there have been no material changes to our cash requirements from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by or used in operating activities is driven by net income or loss adjusted for non-cash items and fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities.
Operating cash flows for the first three months of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first three months of fiscal year 2025 were favorably impacted by a 21.8% increase in net sales, significantly lower interest payments on debt, lower restructuring payments related to employee termination benefits, and a decrease in income tax payments, and were unfavorably impacted by an increase in annual bonus payments, and an incremental increase in inventory spend.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by or used in investing activities is primarily driven by capital expenditures, proceeds from sales of property, purchases and sales of investments, purchases of intangibles, and proceeds from or premiums paid for corporate-owned life insurance.
Capital expenditures were $1.7 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2026, which were higher as we made investments to update our production capabilities, compared to $1.3 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2025 due to cost-saving initiatives.
In the first three months of fiscal year 2026, we sold investments for proceeds of $0.5 million compared to $2.7 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2025.
Purchases of intangibles were $0.5 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2026, compared to $1.3 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2025, which included capitalized development costs and software licenses.
In the first three months of fiscal year 2026, we paid $3.4 million in premiums into our corporate-owned life insurance policy in order to provide substantive coverage for our deferred compensation liability. In the first three months of fiscal year 2025, we received $1.8 million of proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance, which were used to pay deferred compensation distributions.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by or used in financing activities is primarily attributable to payments on our Revolving Credit Facility, payments related to deferred financing costs, payments related to employee share-based compensation payroll taxes and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
In the first three months of fiscal year 2026, we made a prepayment of $10.0 million on our Term Loans. No such prepayments were made in the first three months of fiscal year 2025.
In the first three months of fiscal year 2026, we paid $0.5 million for deferred financing costs, compared to $0.8 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2025.
In the first three months of fiscal year 2026, we paid $8.9 million for employee share-based compensation payroll taxes, compared to payments of $2.4 million for employee share-based compensation payroll taxes in the first three months of fiscal year 2025.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are disclosed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the three months ended April 27, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to a variety of market risks, including commodity risk and the risks related to foreign currency, interest rates and market performance that are discussed in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025. Many of the factors that can have an impact on our market risk are external to us, and so we are unable to fully predict them.
Commodity Risk
We are subject to risk from fluctuating market prices of certain commodity raw materials, particularly gold, that are incorporated into our end products or used by our suppliers to process our end products. Increased commodity prices are passed on to us in the form of higher prices from our suppliers, either in the form of general price increases or a commodity surcharge.
Although we generally deal with our suppliers on a purchase order basis rather than on a long-term contract basis, we generally attempt to obtain firm pricing for volumes consistent with planned production. Our gross margins may decline if we are not able to increase selling prices of our products or obtain manufacturing efficiencies to offset the increased cost. We do not enter into formal hedging arrangements to mitigate against commodity risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our foreign operations expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against our functional currencies and we may economically hedge this risk with foreign currency contracts (such as currency forward contracts). Gains or losses on these balances are generally offset by corresponding losses or gains on the related hedging instruments. As of April 27, 2025, our largest foreign currency exposures were from the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Great British Pound, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc.
We considered the historical trends in foreign currency exchange rates and determined that it is reasonably possible that adverse changes in foreign exchange rates of 10% for all currencies could be experienced in the near-term. These reasonably possible adverse changes were applied to our total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than our functional currency as of the end of our first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The adverse impact these changes would have had (after taking into account balance sheet hedges only) on our income before taxes is $3.5 million for the quarter ended April 27, 2025.
Interest rate and credit risk
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with the portion of the outstanding debt under our Credit Agreement that bears interest at a variable rate as of April 27, 2025.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 2.75 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $150.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.58%, plus a variable margin and spread based on our consolidated leverage ratio.
Based upon our $21.2 million of unhedged floating-rate outstanding indebtedness as of April 27, 2025, the adverse impact a one percentage point increase in Term SOFR would have on our interest expense is $0.2 million.
Interest rates also affect our return on excess cash and investments. As of April 27, 2025, we had $156.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates. Interest income, net of reserves, generated by our investments and cash and cash equivalents was not material in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our cash and investments. It would also impact the market value of our investments.
Our investments are primarily subject to credit risk. Our investment guidelines prescribe credit quality, permissible investments, diversification, and duration restrictions. These restrictions are intended to limit risk by restricting our investments to high quality debt instruments with relatively short-term durations. Our investment strategy limits investment of new funds and maturing securities to U.S. Treasury, Federal agency securities, high quality money market funds and time deposits with our principal commercial banks. Outside of these investment guidelines, we also invest in a limited amount of debt securities in privately held companies that we view as strategic to our business. For example, many of these investments are in companies that are enabling the LoRa®- and LoRaWAN® -based ecosystem.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We maintain cash held in deposit at financial institutions in the U.S. These deposits are insured by the FDIC in an amount up to $250,000 for any depositor. To the extent we hold cash deposits in amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limitation, we may incur a loss in the event of a failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain deposits. There can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of the FDIC or other comparable insurance limits will be backstopped by the U.S. or any applicable foreign government in the future or that any bank or financial institution with which we do business will be able to obtain needed liquidity from other banks, government institutions or by acquisition in the event of a future failure or liquidity crisis. In addition, if any of our partners or parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds due to the status of their financial institution, such parties' ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Management believes we are not exposed to significant risk due to the financial position of the depository institution, but will continue to monitor regularly and adjust, if needed, to mitigate risk. We have established guidelines regarding diversification of our investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain principal and maximize liquidity. To date, we have not experienced any losses associated with this credit risk and continue to believe that this exposure is not significant.
ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Exhibit 10.1
SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Separation and General Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Semtech Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Mark Russell (“Executive”).
Executive and the Company are parties to an Invention Assignment & Secrecy Agreement dated January 16, 2024 and Employee Confidential Agreement and Proprietary Rights Assignment dated January 16, 2024 (together, the “Confidentiality Agreement”).
In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the Company and Executive agree as follows:
1.Termination. Executive’s employment with the Company will end on March 6, 2025 (the “Separation Date”). The Company will continue to pay Executive his regular base salary through that date. Executive will continue to perform his duties for the Company in good faith, and to the best of his abilities, through the Separation Date, and will reasonably assist the Company (both before and after the Separation Date) in the transition of his responsibilities for the Company. Executive acknowledges that the Company may re-assign one or more of Executive’s duties, authorities, or titles prior to the Separation Date.
2.Severance Benefits. This Agreement shall become effective on the eighth day after Executive delivers this Agreement to the Company signed by Executive (the “Effective Date”), provided that Executive (a) signs and delivers this Agreement by no later than February 21, 2025 (with delivery of such executed Agreement to be to Monica Van Berkel, Chief Human Resources Officer, at Semtech Corporation, 200 Flynn Road, Camarillo, California, 93012-8790, so that it is received by that date), and (b) does not revoke this Agreement (or any portion hereof) within seven days of executing this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 6 below. In consideration of Executive’s agreements and releases set forth in this Agreement, and provided that Executive (a) timely executes and delivers this Agreement; (b) is not in breach or default of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement; (c) has performed all obligations under this Agreement; and (d) has not revoked this Agreement (or any portion hereof) pursuant to Section 6 below; the Company agrees (1) that Executive will vest, as scheduled and subject to his continued employment through the vesting date, on March 5, 2025, in 12,635 Company restricted stock units previously granted to Executive that are scheduled to vest on such date (the “March 5 RSUs”), and (2) that the Company will pay or provide Executive with the Continued Healthcare Benefit set forth below (such vesting, together with the Continued Healthcare Benefit, the “First Component of Severance Benefits”).
In addition, in consideration of Executive’s agreements and releases set forth in the Supplemental Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Release Agreement”), and provided that Executive (a) signs and delivers the Supplemental Release Agreement on or after the Separation Date and by no later than the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date (with delivery of such executed Supplemental Release Agreement to be to Monica Van Berkel, Chief Human Resources Officer, at Semtech Corporation, 200 Flynn Road, Camarillo, California, 93012-8790, so that it is received within twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date), (b) is not in breach or default of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement; (c) has performed all obligations under this Agreement; and (d) has not revoked this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement (or any portion hereof or thereof) within 7 days of execution pursuant to Section 6 below or Section 5 of the Supplemental Release Agreement; the Company agrees to pay or provide Executive with
A-1
(1) cash severance to total $175,000 (the “Cash Severance”) to be paid as provided below and subject to the further terms set forth below, and (2) a cash bonus for fiscal year 2025 on the terms set forth below (“FY25 Cash Bonus”) (such Cash Severance, together with the FY25 Cash Bonus, the “Second Component of Severance Benefits”).
The Cash Severance (if payable as provided above) will be paid in a single lump sum payment to be made promptly following the seventh day after the Company receives the executed Supplemental Release Agreement from Executive.
The “Continued Healthcare Benefit” (if payable as provided above) means the COBRA Benefit and the ArmadaCare Benefit. The COBRA Benefit means that the Company will pay or reimburse Executive for Executive’s premiums charged to continue healthcare coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) (including any applicable extension of Federal COBRA coverage through Cal-COBRA), at the same or reasonably equivalent healthcare coverage for Executive (and, if applicable, Executive’s eligible dependents) as in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date, to the extent that Executive elects such continued healthcare coverage; provided that the Company’s obligation to make any payment or reimbursement pursuant to the COBRA Benefit shall commence with continuation coverage for the month following the month in which the Separation Date occurs, and shall cease with continuation coverage for the month in which the first anniversary of the Separation Date occurs (or, if earlier, shall cease upon the first to occur of Executive’s death, the date Executive becomes eligible for coverage under the health plan of a future employer, or the date the Company ceases to offer group medical coverage to its active executive employees or the Company is otherwise under no obligation to offer COBRA or Cal-COBRA continuation coverage to Executive) (the “COBRA Benefit”). To the extent Executive elects COBRA coverage, Executive shall notify the Company in writing of such election prior to such coverage taking effect and complete any other continuation coverage enrollment procedures the Company may then have in place. The Company shall reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums Executive pays pursuant to this paragraph (to the extent not paid directly by the Company) within thirty (30) days of Executive presenting proof of payment of such monthly COBRA premiums. Executive agrees to provide such proof of payment to the Company promptly after paying any applicable COBRA premium. The ArmadaCare Benefit means that the Company will provide continued executive supplemental healthcare coverage for Executive (and his eligible dependents) under the Company’s ArmadaCare supplemental healthcare coverage program, subject to the terms and conditions of such program and as such program is in effect from time to time, until the first to occur of (a) the Company no longer offers supplemental healthcare coverage for any of its executives, (b) Executive’s death, (c) the date Executive becomes eligible for coverage under the medical plan of a future employer, (d) coverage for the twelfth month following the month in which the Separation Date occurs (the “ArmadaCare Benefit”). Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect to the continuation of such supplemental healthcare coverage. The Company’s obligations as to
payments or reimbursements pursuant to this paragraph are subject to the Company’s ability to comply with applicable law and provide such benefit without resulting in adverse tax consequences.
The FY25 Cash Bonus (if payable as provided above) will be paid to Executive at the same time as the Company pays cash bonuses to its executive officers for fiscal year 2025 generally, and in all events not later than two and one-half months after the end of fiscal year 2025. The amount of Executive’s FY25 Cash Bonus will be determined based on Executive’s target annual bonus amount for fiscal year 2025 (75% of his $350,000 annual salary, for a target of $262,500), as adjusted (up or down) based on Company performance for fiscal year 2025.
The adjustment of the target amount (up or down) based on Company performance for fiscal year 2025 will be made by the Company on the same basis as Company executive bonuses are determined under the Company’s fiscal year 2025 cash bonus program generally.
The Company granted Executive equity awards (which could consist of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units or other equity or equity-based awards) (“Equity Awards”). Executive previously received payment in full for any and all Equity Awards that vested in accordance with their terms on or before the Separation Date except for the March 5 RSUs. Executive holds no options as to shares of Company common stock. On the Separation Date, all of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards (other than the March 5 RSUs) will terminate in accordance with their terms. Executive has no further right in or with respect to any such Equity Awards. The March 5 RSUs will be paid in accordance with the applicable award terms following the March 5, 2025 vesting date of such stock units.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the First Component of Severance Benefits includes payments and benefits that Executive would not otherwise be entitled to receive without entering into this Agreement, and constitute valuable and adequate consideration for the terms, conditions, and releases provided by Executive in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive revokes this Agreement (or any portion hereof) pursuant to Section 6 or any revocation right provided by applicable law, then the Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide Executive with any of the First Component of Severance Benefits.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Second Component of Severance Benefits includes payments and benefits that Executive would not otherwise be entitled to receive without entering into the Supplemental Release Agreement, and constitute valuable and adequate consideration for the terms, conditions, and releases provided by Executive in the Supplemental Release Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Supplemental Release Agreement, if Executive revokes this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement (or any portion hereof or thereof) pursuant to Section 6 below, Section 5 of the Supplemental Release Agreement, or any revocation right provided by applicable law, then the Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide Executive with any of the Second Component of Severance Benefits.
Furthermore, if Executive breaches any of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or under the Confidentiality Agreement before the date that is six months after the Separation Date, the Company shall have no obligation, and Executive shall have no right to receive, any
portion of the Second Component of Severance Benefits not theretofore actually paid; provided that in all cases the Company shall pay the first payment of the Cash Severance provided for above, which first payment (in and of itself) Executive agrees is good and sufficient consideration for Executive’s agreements and releases in the Supplemental Release Agreement.
3.Acknowledgment of All Compensation Paid. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Executive agrees that the Company has paid Executive all wages, bonuses, commissions and any other compensation earned by Executive during Executive’s employment with the Company (or any of its affiliates), including but not limited to accrued vacation, salary, bonuses, incentives, and other wages. Executive agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Executive is not entitled to receive any further compensation or benefits arising out of Executive’s employment or any other relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates.
Executive’s vested benefit (if any) under the Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan of Semtech Corporation, as amended and restated, will be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan and Executive’s elections thereunder.
Executive agrees that Executive has submitted for reimbursement any and all business expenses Executive incurred during Executive’s employment with the Company (to the extent not previously reimbursed) in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies. Executive agrees that he will not incur any material expense, or any expense not consistent with past practice, through his last day of employment with the Company.
Executive’s coverage under the Company’s group healthcare insurance plan will end at the end of the month in which the Separation Date occurs; provided, however, that Executive will be eligible to continue healthcare coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s group health insurance plans in accordance with COBRA, provided that Executive makes a timely election for COBRA coverage.
Executive and the Company agree that, effective immediately, Executive is no longer a participant in the Semtech Corporation Executive Change in Control Retention Plan and that Executive is not (and will not be) entitled to benefits under such plan or any other severance plan, policy or arrangement of the Company or any of its affiliates or any cash, equity, or equity- based incentive plan, policy or arrangement of the Company or any of its affiliates.
4.Release of Claims. Executive, on behalf of himself and Executive’s descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, and each of them, hereby fully and forever releases the Company, its divisions, subsidiaries, parents, or affiliated corporations, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their assignees, successors, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, representatives, attorneys, agents or employees, past or present, or any of them (individually and collectively, “Releasees”), from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner institute, prosecute or pursue, or cause to be instituted, prosecuted, or pursued, any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Executive or they may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any acts or omissions that have occurred up until and including the date and time that Executive signs this Agreement (collectively,
“Claims”), including, without limitation, (a) any and all Claims relating to or arising from Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that relationship;
(b) any and all Claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal law, constitution, regulation, ordinance or common law, including, but not limited to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the federal Family Medical Leave Act; the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), the Florida Whistleblower Protection Act (FWA); the Florida Workers’ Compensation Law Retaliation Act (FWCA); the Florida Wage Discrimination Law; the Florida Minimum Wage Act; the Florida Equal Pay Law; the Florida AIDS Act; the Florida Discrimination on the Basis of Sickle Cell Trait Law; Florida OSHA; the Florida Constitution; the Florida Fair Housing Act (FHA); and all amendments to each such law; (c) any and all Claims for any wrongful discharge of employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; personal injury; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; and conversion; (d) any and all Claims for wages, benefits, severance, vacation, bonuses, commissions, equity, expense reimbursements, or other compensation or benefits; and (e) any and all Claims for attorneys’ fees, costs and/or penalties; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not apply to any obligation of the Company to Executive pursuant to any of the following: (1) Executive’s rights under this Agreement; (2) any right to indemnification that Executive may have pursuant to the Company’s bylaws or its corporate charter (or any corresponding provision of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company), or under any indemnification agreement with the Company, with respect to any loss, damages or expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees to the extent otherwise provided) that Executive may in the future incur with respect to any service as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (3) with respect to any rights that Executive may have to insurance coverage for such losses, damages or expenses under any Company (or subsidiary or affiliate) directors and officers liability insurance policy; (4) any rights to continued medical and dental coverage that Executive may have under COBRA; or (5) any rights to payment of any vested benefits that Executive may have under a retirement plan sponsored or maintained by the Company that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, this release does not cover any Claim that cannot be released as a matter of applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Executive from filing a charge with or participating in an investigation conducted by any state or federal government agencies. However, Executive waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to receive any monetary or other recovery, should any agency or any other person pursue any claims on Executive’s behalf arising out of any claim released pursuant to this Agreement. For clarity, and as required by law, such waiver does not prevent Executive from accepting a whistleblower award from the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has received any and all leave and other benefits that Executive is or was entitled to pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.
5.Waiver of Unknown Claims. This Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to each and every Claim hereinabove specified. Accordingly, Executive hereby expressly waives any rights and benefits conferred by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar provision of any other applicable state law as to the Claims. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
Executive acknowledges that Executive later may discover claims, demands, causes of action or facts in addition to or different from those which Executive now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, may have materially affected its terms. Nevertheless, Executive hereby waives, as to the Claims, any claims, demands, and causes of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims, demands, causes of action or facts.
6.ADEA Waiver. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Executive is waiving any and all rights or claims that Executive may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (the “ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. This waiver and release do not, however, apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the date Executive signs this Agreement. Executive further expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)In return for this Agreement, Executive will receive consideration beyond that to which Executive was entitled before executing this Agreement;
(b)Executive is hereby advised in writing by this Agreement to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement;
(c)Executive was informed that Executive has twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement and that if Executive wishes to execute this Agreement prior to the expiration of such 21-day period, Executive will have done so voluntarily and with full knowledge that Executive is waiving Executive’s right to have twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement; and that such twenty-one (21) day period to consider this Agreement would not and will not be re-started or extended based on any changes, whether material or immaterial, that are or were made to this Agreement in such twenty- one (21) day period after Executive received it;
(d)Executive was informed that Executive has seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Agreement in which to revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement will become null and void if Executive elects revocation during that time. Any revocation must be in writing and must be received by the Company during the seven-day revocation period. In the event that Executive exercises this revocation right, neither the Company nor Executive will have any obligation under this Agreement. Any notice of revocation
must be sent by Executive in writing to the Company (attention Monica Van Berkel, Chief Human Resources Officer, Semtech Corporation, 200 Flynn Road, Camarillo, California 93012-8790), so that it is received within the seven-day period following execution of this Agreement by Executive; and
(e)Nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law.
7.No Transferred Claims. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not heretofore assigned or transferred to any person not a party to this Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof.
8.Non-Solicitation Covenant.
8.1Non-Solicitation of Employees. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Executive agrees that, for a period of one year from the Separation Date (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit, or encourage any of the Company’s employees, contractors, or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Company or form any employment, contracting, or consulting relationship with any other person or entity.
8.2Enforcement. Executive agrees and acknowledges that in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 8, the Company and/or its respective successors would sustain irreparable harm, and, therefore, Executive agrees that in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including but not limited to specific performance, temporary restraining orders, and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining Executive from committing or continuing any such violation of this Section 8. The Restricted Period shall be extended for the period equal to the time period that Executive is in breach of any provision of this Section 8.
8.3Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges that the value of the Company’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, goodwill and customer relationships is substantial, and Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the nature of Executive’s position with the Company necessarily required the Company to disclose such information to Executive. Executive further acknowledges that the Company and its affiliated entities engage in business throughout the world and that the business is very competitive. Executive further acknowledges that the Company plans to continue to engage in its business throughout the world during the Restricted Period. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants in this Section 8 are reasonable and necessary (i) in terms of geographic scope, duration, and range of activities; and (ii) to protect the Company’s trade secrets, goodwill, customer relationships and stable workforce. Accordingly, Executive agrees to the covenants in this Section 8.
8.4Savings. Executive agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 8 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state, nation, and other political subdivision. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed otherwise identical in terms. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 8 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law. If any provision of this Section 8 or any part of any such provision is held under any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, then: (i) such provision or part thereof shall, with respect to such circumstances and in such jurisdiction, be modified by such arbitrator or court to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest possible extent; (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof under such circumstances and in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision or part thereof under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction; and (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Section 8. Each provision of this Section 8 is separable from every other provision of this Section 8, and each part of each provision of this Section 8 is separable from every other part of such provision.
9.Return of Property and Certain Other Covenants.
9.1Return of Property. Executive represents and warrants that Executive will, on or prior to the Separation Date, return to the Company (a) all physical, computerized, electronic or other types of records, documents, proposals, notes, lists, files and any and all other materials, including computerized electronic information, that refer, relate or otherwise pertain to the Company or any of its affiliates that were in Executive’s possession, subject to Executive’s control or held by Executive for others; and (b) all property or equipment that Executive has been issued by the Company or any of its affiliates during the course of Executive’s employment or property or equipment that Executive otherwise possessed, including any keys, credit cards, office or telephone equipment, computers (and any software, power cords, manuals, computer bag and other equipment that was provided to Executive with any such computers), tablets, smartphones, and other devices. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is not authorized to retain after the Separation Date any physical, computerized, electronic or other types of copies of any such physical, computerized, electronic or other types of records, documents, proposals, notes, lists, files or materials, and is not authorized to retain any property or equipment of the Company or any of its affiliates. Executive further agrees that Executive will immediately forward to the Company (and thereafter destroy any electronic copies thereof) any business information relating to the Company or any of its affiliates that has been or is inadvertently directed to Executive following the Separation Date. Executive agrees that Executive’s timely compliance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to Executive’s receipt of the Severance Benefits provided under this Agreement.
9.2Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that Executive will not make any statement, written or verbal, to any person or entity, including in any forum or media, or take any action, in disparagement of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including negative references to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ services, products, policies, directors, officers, managers, or employees, or take any other action that may disparage the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the general public and/or the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ employees,
clients, suppliers, and/or business partners. The Company will instruct its executive officers and directors to not disparage Executive.
9.3Confidentiality of this Agreement. Executive agrees that Executive will keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, and will not, except as required by law, disclose such terms to any person other than Executive’s immediate family or professional advisers (who also must keep the terms of this Agreement confidential).
9.4Defend Trade Secrets Act and other Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9, or in the Integrated Agreement (as defined below), prevents Executive (or any other person) from discussing or disclosing (a) information about a dispute involving sexual assault or sexual harassment or other unlawful acts in the workplace (such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct Executive has reason to believe is unlawful), or (b) the terms, wages, and working conditions of the Executive’s employment, as protected by applicable law. Furthermore, nothing in this Section 9 or in the Integrated Agreement prevents Executive (or any other person) from (a) truthfully responding to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process, or (b) reporting confidential information in a confidential manner either to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney where such disclosure is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, including, but not limited to, disclosures made pursuant to any whistleblower laws. Notwithstanding any confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement or in the Integrated Agreement, Executive understands that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (b) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Executive further understands that if a court of law or arbitrator determines that Executive misappropriated Company trade secrets willfully or maliciously, including by making permitted disclosures without following the requirements of the DTSA as detailed in this Section 9.4, then the Company may be entitled to an award of exemplary damages and attorneys’ fees against Executive.
10.Miscellaneous.
10.1Governing Law. This Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement shall each be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of Florida, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
10.2Reliance; Amendments. The Company and the other Releasees are entitled to rely on this Agreement and, except as provided in Section 6, this Agreement is irrevocable by Executive and cannot be unilaterally changed by Executive. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, in whole or in part, except in a formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to this Agreement, which agreement is signed by an authorized officer of the Company and by Executive.
10.3No Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement or under the Supplemental Release Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
10.4Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement or of the Supplemental Release Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, as the case may be, to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable under any present or future law, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or of the Supplemental Release Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement are declared to be severable; furthermore, in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement, as applicable, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn (as to geographic scope, period of duration or otherwise) so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.5Assignment and Successors.
(a)Each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement is personal to Executive and shall not be assignable by Executive. Each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement shall be binding upon Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In the event Executive dies prior to receiving the full amount of the payments due to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, any remaining payments due to Executive shall be paid to Executive’s estate.
(b)The Company may assign its rights and obligations under each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement, and this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns. As used herein, “successor” and “assignee” shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires ownership of the Company or to which the Company assigns this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.
10.6No Representations. There are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
10.7Interpretation. Executive has cooperated in the drafting, negotiation and preparation of each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement. Hence, in any construction to be made of this Agreement or of the Supplemental Release Agreement, the same shall not be construed against any party on the basis that the party was the drafter.
10.8Review of Agreement. Executive recognizes that this is a legally binding contract and acknowledges and agrees that Executive has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of Executive’s own choice. Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that Executive has read and understands this Agreement and the releases it contains, is entering into this Agreement freely and voluntarily, and has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to do so.
10.9Headings; Construction. The section and paragraph headings and titles contained each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement are inserted for convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement. Where the context requires in each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include all other genders and the neutral. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained in this Agreement or in the Supplemental Release Agreement, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates.
10.10Electronic Signatures. Each of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release Agreement may be signed and/or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail of a .PDF, .TIF, .GIF,
.JPG or similar attachment or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), it being understood that any such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party’s hand-written signature. Executive further consents and agrees that (a) to the extent Executive signs this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement using electronic signature technology, by clicking “sign” (or similar acknowledgement of acceptance), Executive is signing this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement, as the case may be, electronically, and (b) electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement or the Supplemental Release Agreement shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as hand-written signatures.
10.11No Wrongdoing. This Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all potential disputed claims. No action taken by either Executive or the Company, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be: (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any potential claims; or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other or to any third party.
10.12No Liens. Executive represents and warrants that (a) Executive has the capacity to act on Executive’s own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through Executive to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) there are no liens or claims of any lien or assignment in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims released in this Agreement.
10.13Tax Matters. The Company and Executive intend that all payments made and benefits provided under this Agreement are either exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”) so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the adverse tax penalties imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt. The payments and benefits referenced and provided for in this Agreement are subject to all applicable withholding requirements. Except for the Company’s withholding right, Executive will be solely responsible for any and all taxes that may be due with respect to the payments and benefits referenced and provided for in this Agreement. Executive agrees that the Company will treat Executive as having a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) with the Company on the Separation Date.
10.14Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement (all together, the “Integrated Agreement”), embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the matters within its scope and is an integrated agreement. The Integrated Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements of the parties hereto and that directly or indirectly bear upon the subject matter hereof. Any prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals or understandings relating to the subject matter hereof or of any portion of the Integrated Agreement shall be deemed to have been merged into the Integrated Agreement, and to the extent inconsistent with the Integrated Agreement, such negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals, or understandings shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. The Integrated Agreement is a fully integrated agreement. There are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as expressly set forth in the Integrated Agreement. For clarity, the Confidentiality Agreement continues in effect in accordance with its terms.
10.15Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified,
(ii) when sent by confirmed electronic transmission (including e-mail) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (iii) two days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent: (x) if to the Company, to the Company at the address of its principal executive offices and to the attention of its General Counsel, (y) if to Executive, to Executive at Executive’s last address as reflected in the Company’s payroll records, or (z) in either case, at such other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other party hereto.
10.16Supplementary Documents. All parties agree to cooperate fully and to execute any and all supplementary documents and to take all additional actions that may be necessary or appropriate to give full force to the basic terms and intent of this Agreement and which are not inconsistent with its terms.

EXHIBIT A SUPPLEMENTAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
1.Termination. I, Mark Russell, agree that my employment, and all other positions (as an officer, director, employee, member, manager and in any other capacity) I held, with Semtech Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of its affiliates terminated effective March 6, 2025 (the “Separation Date”). I agree that I currently hold no such position.
2.Severance Benefits. This Supplemental Release Agreement constitutes the Supplemental Release Agreement referenced in Section 2 of my Separation and General Release Agreement with the Company entered into on or about [March 26, 2025] (the “Separation Agreement”). Any capitalized term used in this Supplemental Release Agreement that is not otherwise defined in this Supplemental Release Agreement is used as defined in the Separation Agreement.
3.Release of Claims. I, on behalf of myself and my descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, and each of them, hereby fully and forever release the Company, its divisions, subsidiaries, parents, or affiliated corporations, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their assignees, successors, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, representatives, attorneys, agents or employees, past or present, or any of them (individually and collectively, “Releasees”), from, and agree not to sue concerning, or in any manner institute, prosecute or pursue, or cause to be instituted, prosecuted, or pursued, any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that I or they may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any acts or omissions that have occurred up until and including the date and time that I sign this Supplemental Release Agreement (collectively, “Claims”), including, without limitation, (a) any and all Claims relating to or arising from my employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that relationship; (b) any and all Claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal law, constitution, regulation, ordinance or common law, including, but not limited to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the federal Family Medical Leave Act; the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), the Florida Whistleblower Protection Act (FWA); the Florida Workers’ Compensation Law Retaliation Act (FWCA); the Florida Wage Discrimination Law; the Florida Minimum Wage Act; the Florida Equal Pay Law; the Florida AIDS Act; the Florida Discrimination on the Basis of Sickle Cell Trait Law; Florida OSHA; the Florida Constitution; the Florida Fair Housing Act (FHA); and all amendments to each such law; (c) any and all Claims for any wrongful discharge of employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; personal injury; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; and
A-1
conversion; (d) any and all Claims for wages, benefits, severance, vacation, bonuses, commissions, equity, expense reimbursements, or other compensation or benefits; and (e) any and all Claims for attorneys’ fees, costs and/or penalties; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not apply to any obligation of the Company to me pursuant to any of the following:
(1) my rights under the Separation Agreement; (2) any right to indemnification that I may have pursuant to the Company’s bylaws or its corporate charter (or any corresponding provision of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company), or under any indemnification agreement with the Company, with respect to any loss, damages or expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees to the extent otherwise provided) that I may in the future incur with respect to any service as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (3) with respect to any rights that I may have to insurance coverage for such losses, damages or expenses under any Company (or subsidiary or affiliate) directors and officers liability insurance policy;
(4) any rights to continued medical and dental coverage that I may have under COBRA; or (5) any rights to payment of any vested benefits that I may have under a retirement plan sponsored or maintained by the Company that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, this release does not cover any Claim that cannot be released as a matter of applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Supplemental Release Agreement prohibits me from filing a charge with or participating in an investigation conducted by any state or federal government agencies. However, I waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to receive any monetary or other recovery, should any agency or any other person pursue any claims on my behalf arising out of any claim released pursuant to this Supplemental Release Agreement. For clarity, and as required by law, such waiver does not prevent me from accepting a whistleblower award from the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. I acknowledge and agree that I have received any and all leave and other benefits that I am or was entitled to pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.
4.Waiver of Unknown Claims. This Supplemental Release Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to each and every Claim hereinabove specified. Accordingly, I hereby expressly waive any rights and benefits conferred by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar provision of any other applicable state law as to the Claims. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
I acknowledge that I later may discover claims, demands, causes of action or facts in addition to or different from those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Supplemental Release Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Supplemental Release Agreement, may have materially affected its terms. Nevertheless, I hereby waive, as to the Claims, any claims, demands, and causes of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims, demands, causes of action or facts.
5.ADEA Waiver. I expressly acknowledge and agree that by entering into this
Supplemental Release Agreement, I am waiving any and all rights or claims that I may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (the “ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. This waiver and release do not, however, apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the date I sign this Supplemental Release Agreement. I further expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)In return for this Supplemental Release Agreement, I will receive consideration beyond that to which I was entitled before executing this Supplemental Release Agreement;
(b)I am hereby advised in writing by this Supplemental Release Agreement to consult with an attorney before signing this Supplemental Release Agreement;
(c)I was given a copy of this Supplemental Release Agreement before the Separation Date, and informed that I had twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date to consider this Supplemental Release Agreement, and that if I wished to execute this Supplemental Release Agreement prior to the expiration of such twenty-one (21) day period, I will have done so voluntarily and with full knowledge that I am waiving my right to have twenty-one (21) days to consider this Supplemental Release Agreement; and that such twenty-one (21) day period to consider this Supplemental Release Agreement would not and will not be re-started or extended based on any changes, whether material or immaterial, that are or were made to this Supplemental Release Agreement in such twenty-one (21) day period after I received it;
(d)I was informed that I have seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Supplemental Release Agreement in which to revoke this Supplemental Release Agreement, and this Supplemental Release Agreement will become null and void if I elect revocation during that time. Any revocation must be in writing and must be received by the Company during the seven-day revocation period. In the event that I exercise this revocation right, neither the Company nor I will have any obligation under this Supplemental Release Agreement. Any notice of revocation must be sent by me in writing to the Company (attention Monica Van Berkel, Chief Human Resources Officer, Semtech Corporation, 200 Flynn Road, Camarillo, California 93012-8790), so that it is received within the seven-day period following execution of this Supplemental Release Agreement by me; and
(e)Nothing in this Supplemental Release Agreement prevents or precludes me from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law.
6.No Transferred Claims. I represent and warrant that I have not heretofore assigned or transferred to any person not a party to this Supplemental Release Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof.
7.Miscellaneous.
7.1Reliance; Amendments. The Company and the other Releasees are entitled to rely on this Supplemental Release Agreement and, except as provided in Section 5, this Supplemental Release Agreement is irrevocable by me and cannot be unilaterally changed by me. This Supplemental Release Agreement may not be modified or amended, in whole or in part, except in a formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to this Supplemental Release Agreement, which agreement is signed by an authorized officer of the Company and by me.
7.2No Representations. There are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Supplemental Release Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Supplemental Release Agreement or in the Separation Agreement.
7.3Review of Agreement. I recognize that this is a legally binding contract and acknowledge and agree that I have had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of my own choice. I specifically acknowledge and agree that I have read and understand this Supplemental Release Agreement and the releases it contains, am entering into this Supplemental Release Agreement freely and voluntarily, and have been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Supplemental Release Agreement and have had ample opportunity to do so.
7.4No Liens. I represent and warrant that (a) I have the capacity to act on my own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through me to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Release Agreement; and (b) there are no liens or claims of any lien or assignment in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims released in this Supplemental Release Agreement.
7.5Entire Agreement. This Supplemental Release Agreement, together with the Separation Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (all together, the “Integrated Agreement”), embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the matters within its scope and is an integrated agreement. The Integrated Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements of the parties hereto and that directly or indirectly bear upon the subject matter hereof. Any prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals or understandings relating to the subject matter hereof or of any portion of the Integrated Agreement shall be deemed to have been merged into the Integrated Agreement, and to the extent inconsistent with the Integrated Agreement, such negotiations, correspondence, agreements, proposals, or understandings shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. The Integrated Agreement is a fully integrated agreement. There are no representations, warranties, or agreements, whether express or implied, or oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as expressly set forth in the Integrated Agreement. For clarity, the Confidentiality Agreement continues in effect in accordance with its terms.
7.6Return of Property. I represent and warrant that I have complied with Section 9 of the Separation Agreement.
