PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABLE
We are providing the following information pursuant to the new SEC pay versus performance disclosure requirements set forth in Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation
S-K
(the “Pay Versus Performance Rule”), which requires disclosure of certain information about the relationships between our performance and the compensation of our named executive officers. The following table reports, for the three most-recent fiscal years, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and the average compensation of our other
non-CEO
named executive officers
(“Non-CEO
Named Executive Officers”), as well as the “Compensation Actually Paid” as calculated in accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rule and certain performance measures required by the rule. The amounts reported as “Compensation Actually Paid” do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our Chief Exe
cutiv
e Officer or our
Non-CEO
Name Executive Officers and differ from the compensation amounts disclosed elsewhere in this proxy statement. For a discussion of our executive compensation program and philosophy, please refer to our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

For purposes of the foregoing adjustments, the value of equity awards was determined as follows: (i) for RSUs, the closing price of our common stock on the applicable fiscal
year-end
date, or, in the case of vesting RSUs, the closing price of our common stock on the applicable vesting date; (ii) for stock options, a Black Scholes value as of the applicable
year-end
or vesting date(s), determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair value but using the closing share price on the applicable revaluation date as the current market price volatility and risk free rates determined as of the revaluation date, the expected life period and based on an expected dividend rate of 0%; and
 
  (iii) for unvested PRSUs as of any applicable fiscal
year-end
date, the estimate of the most probable aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the requisite service period determined as of the applicable fiscal
year-end
date under ASC Topic 718, calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the probability-weighted payoffs of a share-based payment assuming a variety of possible stock price paths and for the 2021 and 2022 PRSUs, an estimate of the probability for achievement of the

Our total shareholder return is calculated, for each fiscal year, as the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock from December 29, 2019 (i.e. the first day of our 2020 fiscal year), through the last day of the applicable fiscal year, assuming that $100 was invested beginning December 29, 2019.

Our peer group is comprised of the component companies of the S&P 500 Index Semiconductor & Semiconductor Equipment Index (the “Peer Index”) for each applicable fiscal year.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Total Shareholder Return
Our stock price performance is the pre
do
minant factor that determines whether the Compensation Actually Paid to our named executive officers is at, above, or below the amounts reported in our summary compensation tables. The Compensation Actually Paid directly correlates with our total shareholder return (“TSR”) since most of our executive compensation is delivered through long-term equity awards in the form of PRSUs, RSUs, and stock options which vary in value with changes to our stock price. Additionally, our forecasted performance factor for our unvested PRSUs granted over the last three years decreased for fiscal 2022 primarily due to the narrowing of our TSR relative to the S&P 500 Index between the end of fiscal 2021 and the end of fiscal 2022. These results reflect two of our goals for our executive compensation program which is to align pay for performance and drive the creation of long-term sustainable stockholder value. The chart below compares the Compensation Actually Paid during the 2022, 2021 and 2020 fiscal years to our cumulative TSR since December 29, 2019 (the last day of our 2019 fiscal year), measured as of the last day of each of the 2022, 2021 and 2020 fiscal years.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block]
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Net Income (GAAP and
Non-GAAP)
GAAP and
non-GAAP
net income are measures of our overall profitability that we believe are factors that can drive our stock price performance. However, the Compensation Actually Paid is less sensitive to our annual GAAP and
non-GAAP
net income because our executive compensation programs are weighted toward long-term incentives that directly link executive compensation to our stock price performance, as described above. Similarly, while
non-GAAP
net income is the primary performance factor for determining cash bonuses under our EIP for each of the covered fiscal years, it also does not necessarily correlate to Compensation Actually Paid because the cash bonuses paid under our EIP generally represent a much smaller percentage of the Compensation Actually Paid to our Chief Executive Officer and the average Compensation Actually Paid to our
non-CEO
Named Executive Officers when compared to the long-term equity awards.
