Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABLE

We are providing the following information pursuant to the 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 Executive Officer or our

Non-CEO

Named 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.

Amounts in these columns show the “Compensation Actually Paid”, as calculated in accordance with the methodology prescribed by the SEC under the Pay Versus Performance Rule. The table below provides the adjustments to the Summary Compensation Table total compensation to arrive at the Compensation Actually Paid to our CEO and the average Compensation Actually Paid to our

Non-CEO

Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2023.



Adjustments to Reported Summary Compensation Table Total for CEO and Non-CEO Named Executive Officers		2023
	CEO			Non-CEO Named Executive Officers (Average)
Summary Compensation Table Total	$	30,348,281		$	18,168,335
Subtract the amounts reported for fiscal 2023 under the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns in the Summary Compensation Table	$	(27,686,770	)	$	(16,148,448	)
Add year-end fair value of equity awards granted during fiscal year 2023 that are unvested as of fiscal year end	$	42,796,052		$	23,926,343
Add (subtract) year-over-year change in fair value of equity awards granted prior to fiscal 2023 that are unvested as of year-end	$	119,569,569		$	5,874,063


Add (subtract) year-over-year change in fair value of equity awards granted prior to fiscal 2023 that vested during fiscal 2023 (from prior year-end to vesting date)	$	24,807,722	$	2,082,408
Subtract fair value of any awards outstanding as of end of fiscal 2022 that were forfeited during fiscal 2023			$	(720,928	)

Total Adjustments	$	159,486,573	$	15,139,961
Compensation Actually Paid	$	189,834,854	$	33,308,296

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 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

year-end

or the vesting date(s), as applicable, 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, and the market price volatility, expected remaining life and risk free rates, each as

re-measured

as of the applicable revaluation date, and where applicable, taking into account the incremental fair value, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, of any material modifications that occurred during the fiscal year, and (iii) for unvested PRSUs as of fiscal

year-end,

the estimate of the most probable aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the requisite service period determined as of fiscal

year-end

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 2022 and 2023 PRSUs (see footnotes to Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal

Year-End

table for more information).

(4)

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.

(5)

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. The total shareholder return for our peer group is calculated, for each fiscal year, as the cumulative total shareholder return of the Peer Index 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.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Total Shareholder Return

Our stock price performance is the predominant 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. The chart below compares the Compensation Actually Paid during the 2023, 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 those fiscal years.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Net Income (GAAP and

Non-GAAP)

GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income are key measures of our overall profitability and can contribute to changes in our stock price, which in turn primarily drives Compensation Actually Paid. We do not use GAAP net income as a financial measure in our executive compensation program, but we use

non-GAAP

net income which is derived from our GAAP net income.

Non-GAAP

net income is the primary performance factor for determining cash bonuses under our EIP for each of the covered fiscal years and the growth of our

non-GAAP

earnings per share, which is derived from our

non-GAAP

net income, is also a performance measure used to determine the payouts under the annual PRSU awards granted in each of the covered fiscal years.

Between 2020 and 2021, our GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income increased and there was a slight increase in CEO Compensation Actually Paid but a slight decrease in Average Compensation Actually Paid to

Non-CEO

Named Executive Officers. In 2022, GAAP net income and the Compensation Actually Paid decreased while

non-GAAP

net income increased. In 2023, our GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income declined as compared to 2022 but there was an increase in Compensation Actually Paid. The decline in 2023 GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income are not directly correlated to Compensation Actually Paid in 2023 because Compensation Actually Paid was largely driven by the increase to our stock price as illustrated above.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Net Income (GAAP and

Non-GAAP)

GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income which is derived from our GAAP net income.

Non-GAAP

net income is the primary performance factor for determining cash bonuses under our EIP for each of the covered fiscal years and the growth of our

non-GAAP

earnings per share, which is derived from our

non-GAAP

net income, is also a performance measure used to determine the payouts under the annual PRSU awards granted in each of the covered fiscal years.

Between 2020 and 2021, our GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income increased and there was a slight increase in CEO Compensation Actually Paid but a slight decrease in Average Compensation Actually Paid to

Non-CEO

Named Executive Officers. In 2022, GAAP net income and the Compensation Actually Paid decreased while

non-GAAP

net income increased. In 2023, our GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income declined as compared to 2022 but there was an increase in Compensation Actually Paid. The decline in 2023 GAAP and

non-GAAP

net income are not directly correlated to Compensation Actually Paid in 2023 because Compensation Actually Paid was largely driven by the increase to our stock price as illustrated above.
