INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 4 |

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE

Making an Impact: Product Highlights

We possess a long track record of innovations that have measurably improved the energy efficiency of powertrain, safety and comfort systems.

Two key technologies contributing to avoided emissions in automotive applications are our onboard chargers and DC/DC converters in xEV powertrain, as well as electric power steering (“EPS”) systems enablement. For xEV powertrain, current sensor ICs and high-voltage gate driver ICs enhance vehicle efficiency by reducing ohmic losses and enabling use of GaN or SiC transistors. For EPS, a combination of up to 15 ICs per car enables EPS systems to save upwards of 12 gallons of gas per vehicle per year compared to hydraulic steering systems.

These two technologies in automotive applications have resulted in an estimated cumulative avoided emissions of 8.9 million tons* of CO2 since the beginning of calendar year 2021 through the end of 2023. This number is expected to continue to grow as a result of the projected growth in the hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle (“EV”) markets.

Additionally, Allegro’s speed-sensor ICs were used to create the first speed and direction crank sensor for stop/start engine control. These sensors are used to control a variety of functions, including a fuel injection and ignition timing function that increases the efficiency of a vehicle’s gasoline use in miles per gallon by approximately five percent.

* Estimated avoided emissions based on vehicles sold with Allegro products and U.S. Department of Energy data for emissions produced/reduced. Sources included: U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center: Emissions from Electric Vehicles (https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html), Automotive News Europe: Electric Steering turns on the Power (https://europe.autonews.com/article/20080303/ANE03/237416432/electric-steering-turns-on-the-power), and market data provided by Strategy Analytics Powered by TechInsights.

Sustainability is at the forefront of Allegro’s approach to semiconductor design and manufacturing. We strive to integrate sustainable practices throughout our supply chain and operations, prioritizing responsible resource use and fostering thriving local communities. Our commitment to social responsibility extends across our supply chain, accompanied by an effort to provide transparent disclosure of the environmental impact of our business activities. By embedding sustainability into many aspects of our processes, we strive to minimize our ecological footprint while upholding ethical business standards.

Social Responsibility
| We invest in our employee innovators. Our global team collaborates to move the world towards a safer and more sustainable future. That is why we foster a culture of inclusion, development, and engagement.

At Allegro, we pursue innovation with purpose, and our success stems from the dedication, talent, and commitment of our employees. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and globally collaborative environment that fuels our innovation. We invest in the growth and development of our existing employees while actively recruiting new talent from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences across all functions and geographies. The diversity within our teams, coupled with individuals’ unique ideas and contributions, empowers us to work cohesively toward achieving Allegro’s vision and mission.

We are committed to cultivating a diverse workforce comprised of individuals with different backgrounds, passions and skill sets as we collaborate to innovate with purpose. We understand that a holistic commitment to diversity necessitates more than recruiting a diverse range of talent – it requires the cultivation of a workforce that is safe, creative and collaborative and where there are equitable opportunities for every employee. In fiscal year 2024, Allegro’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DEI”) Council provided comprehensive DEI education and specific annual training on topics such as unconscious bias, inclusive language and microaggressions. The DEI Council also focused on examining equitable hiring practices and providing interview training. We also established a third employee resource group, Veterans@Allegro, joining Women@Allegro and Early@Allegro. We have organizational metrics to monitor senior leadership, management, hiring and technical hiring by gender globally. We measure our population and hiring by race and ethnicity in the U.S.

Community Impact
| We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen in communities in which we operate

Our employees form the core of our organization, and we are committed to nurturing their passions, philanthropic endeavors, and community engagements, while prioritizing the well-being of Allegro employees and their families. While our vision is global, we empower our teams to drive local impact where they live and work. This localized approach is a key component of one of our ESG signature initiatives, aimed at supporting and uplifting our communities through cultivating opportunities for their betterment and advancement. We take pride in supporting the causes championed by our employees and matching their charitable contributions. Some of our community-focused programs include:

•
A generous matching gift program for employee donations to qualified nonprofit organizations;

•
Our corporate sponsorship programming, targeted at science, technology, engineering and math education programs and community-related programs, such as FIRST Robotics and Cornell Racing; and
•
We have a history of uncapping our charitable donation matching policies for global disaster relief donations following unexpected or severe events. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our employees and their families and provide location-based support when faced with unexpected and extraordinary challenges.

Governance
| Our management and Board are committed to furthering our ESG program and are highly engaged in the work to maintain alignment of our long-term strategy and operations with these core values and goals.

Our ESG Steering Committee leads our sustainability efforts and has executive sponsorship from our SVP, General Counsel and Secretary. The ESG Steering Committee is a cross-functional team comprised of leaders and subject matter experts from across the Company that collaborates with our full-time ESG team to manage and oversee communications about sustainability topics with employees, investors, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. In addition, the committee works to monitor and assess our sustainability developments and to expand our awareness of ESG priorities by fostering a culture of commitment to sustainability within Allegro. As part of this work, they consider current and emerging ESG trends that may affect the Company or are otherwise relevant to our organization and stakeholders and make recommendations for how we can address these trends to ensure compliance and the success of our forward-looking initiatives.

On a quarterly basis, senior management reports on key ESG activities to the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCGC”). The NCGC provides direct oversight on ESG initiatives and reviews regular updates on our ESG strategy. Each year, our Board dedicates one of their scheduled meetings to matters related to the governance and promotion of ESG topics and initiatives at Allegro. The Board is engaged in our ESG strategy and involved in instituting a formal accountability process for our five goals that help inform our ESG strategy: maximize the positive impact of our products; minimize our impact on the planet; engage our supply chain to advance sustainability; build a diverse and innovative workforce; and cultivate opportunities in local communities.

Allegro appointed two accomplished women leaders to its Board in the last nine months. With these additions, three of our 11 Board members are women. This strategic move reflects the Company’s commitment to fostering equity and diversity at all levels of the organization, which aligns with our broader ESG objectives.

Additionally, Allegro formalized its enterprise risk management (ERM) program in fiscal year 2024 to systematically identify and manage the top risks facing the Company, including any ESG risks. Launching the ERM program involved compiling a risk register, evaluating risks based on impact/likelihood, and designing a program to assign risk owners to implement mitigation plans and regularly engage in formal risk review sessions. Under the ERM program, risks are reported quarterly to the Board’s Audit Committee and annually to the Board. An annual risk register review will be conducted to reassess the established baseline. This structured ERM program enables proactive risk management across the company.

Cybersecurity

Our cybersecurity program seeks to foster Allegro employees’ understanding of how and why they must remain vigilant in promoting comprehensive data protection throughout the Company. When it comes to data protection, we know it is up to all of us to do our part to keep Allegro and other stakeholders safe. We also have incident response procedures in place and are compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By maintaining these procedures and a posture of vigilance, we collectively work to protect Allegro employees, data, and resources and promote a culture of data protection throughout the Company. Additionally, our VP, Chief Digital and Information Officer briefs the Board’s Audit Committee quarterly on cybersecurity matters and the Board periodically and as needed.

The Allegro cybersecurity team strives to provide the tools and education required to accomplish our cybersecurity goals. They provide training programs to our employees, host regular awareness campaigns about Company information security policies and security practices, disseminate tips and how-to information, and provide employees with a centralized digital

cybersecurity portal. We host cybersecurity trainings for our employees. We also routinely conduct unplanned phishing tests.

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information, and our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall ERM program. Our cybersecurity team has the duty of carrying out cybersecurity risk assessments to our critical systems and information on a regular basis. The results from risk assessment activities are reviewed to prioritize the mitigation of identified risks, and the need for risk mitigation may influence business or operational strategy, project roadmaps and timelines, or other decision-making, as needed.

In fiscal year 2024, Allegro’s cybersecurity and legal teams engaged in a comprehensive review of the Company’s incident response capabilities and adopted a new cybersecurity incident response plan. The response plan establishes clear guidelines and procedures to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. Additionally, we have retained outside advisors to assist us in conducting tabletop exercises to evaluate our incident response plan and response capabilities, with our most recent tabletop exercises for our core incident response team and for senior management taking place in early 2024.

Underscoring our commitment to robust cybersecurity practices and data protection, Allegro pursued TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) certification in fiscal year 2024 and is currently pending formal certification.

We intend to monitor our activities and achievements in these areas and report on them on our ESG webpage located at allegromicro.com/en/about-allegro/corporate-responsibility. We encourage our employees, community members, shareholders and other stakeholders to check this webpage for updates as we work to further our efforts and realize important results in these critical areas.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

1.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is June 12, 2024. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a shareholder at the close of business on the Record Date.

Holders of Common Stock vote as a single class on any matter that is submitted to a vote of shareholders, unless otherwise required by law or our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 193,784,314 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

2.
What is the difference between being a “registered” holder and holding shares in “street name” as a “beneficial” holder?

A “registered” holder is a shareholder of the Company that holds shares in his or her own name. A “beneficial” holder is a shareholder of the Company that holds shares in “street name,” meaning the shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee on a person’s behalf.

3.
Am I entitled to vote if I am a beneficial holder that holds my shares in “street name” through a bank, broker, or other nominee?

Yes. If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, dealer, or other similar organization, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee, along with a voting instruction form, if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee how to vote your shares, and the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 12 |

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

•
by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting; or
•
by voting online at the Annual Meeting.

Your most recent proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee, or you may vote online at the Annual Meeting.

9.
Who will count the votes? Is my vote confidential?

A representative of Computershare will act as Inspector of Elections, supervise the voting, decide the validity of proxies, and receive and tabulate proxies. As a matter of policy, we keep confidential all shareholder meeting proxies, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders. In addition, the vote of any shareholder is not disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

10.
What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. See “Recommendations of the Board” above. For beneficial holders, proxies submitted without voting instructions could result in broker non-votes for certain matters. See “What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?” below for additional information.

11.
Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting?

We do not know of any other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the shareholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card will have the discretionary authority to vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.

12.
Why hold a virtual meeting instead of a physical meeting?

In order to make the meeting accessible to all shareholders, our Board has decided to hold a virtual Annual Meeting. With this live, online webcast format, we believe we will provide our shareholders with substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting.

13.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

14.
How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

Proposal | Votes required | Effect of Votes Withheld / Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Proposal 1: Election of Directors | A plurality of the votes cast. This means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors. | Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome because they are not considered votes cast.
Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. | Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome because they are not considered votes cast. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.
Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome because they are not considered votes cast.

15.
What is a “vote withheld” and an “abstention” and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated?

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposals regarding the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm and the approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation represent a shareholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on such proposal. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of PwC or the approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation.

16.
What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker: (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner; and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors and the approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation. Broker non-votes do count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

17.
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting, and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Annual Meeting.

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 14 |

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

We currently have 11 directors on our Board. At the Annual Meeting, four Class I Directors, Katsumi Kawashima, Joseph R. Martin, Vineet Nargolwala and Mary G. Puma, are to be elected to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until each such director’s respective successor is elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

As set forth in our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the successors to directors with expiring terms will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. The current class structure is as follows: Class I, whose term currently expires at the Annual Meeting and whose subsequent term will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; Class II, whose term will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and Class III, whose term will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The current Class I Directors are Katsumi Kawashima, Joseph R. Martin, Vineet Nargolwala and Mary G. Puma; the current Class II Directors are Yoshihiro (Zen) Suzuki, David J. Aldrich, Kojiro (Koji) Hatano and Paul Carl (Chip) Schorr IV; and the current Class III Directors are Richard R. Lury, Susan D. Lynch and Jennie M. Raubacher. In preparation for the initial public offering of our Common Stock in 2020 (the “IPO”), we entered into a stockholders agreement with Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. (“Sanken”) and OEP SKNA, L.P. (the “OEP Investor”), a fund affiliated with One Equity Partners (“OEP”). The stockholders agreement was amended and restated by the parties as of June 16, 2022 (as amended and restated, the “Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the rights provided in the Stockholders Agreement, Messrs. Hatano, Kawashima and Lury were each designated by Sanken, and Mary G. Puma was jointly designated by Sanken and the OEP Investor. The OEP Investor’s rights to nominate directors under the Stockholders Agreement passed to the NCGC in February 2024 when the OEP Investor ceased to beneficially own at least five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, the NCGC designated the other members of the Board. Based on Sanken’s aggregate voting power, we expect that Sanken will control the election of directors to the Board. For more information regarding the Stockholders Agreement, see “Corporate Governance—Stockholders Agreement” on page 29.

The division of our Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, however, that the directors who were originally designated for nomination in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement may be removed with or without cause, but only in accordance with, and to the extent provided by, the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares of Common Stock represented thereby for the election of each of Messrs. Kawashima, Martin and Nargolwala and Ms. Puma as a Class I Director. In the event that any of the nominees should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board has no reason to believe that any of Messrs. Kawashima, Martin or Nargolwala or Ms. Puma will be unable to serve if elected. Each of the nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Vote Required

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors.

Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the below Class I Director nominees.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2025. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our shareholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of PwC is not required, we value the opinions of our shareholders and believe that shareholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

PwC has been engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm since June 7, 2022, including for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024. Prior to that, Grant Thornton LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm, including for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2022. Neither of the accounting firms nor any of either firm’s members have any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. We expect representatives of PwC to be present at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of PwC will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

In the event that the appointment of PwC is not ratified by the shareholders, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm, but it will not be obligated to do so. Even if the appointment of PwC is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the best interest of the Company.

Changes in Certifying Accountant

On June 7, 2022, our Audit Committee dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Grant Thornton LLP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2022, and the report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through June 7, 2022, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference thereto in Grant Thornton LLP’s reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We previously provided Grant Thornton LLP with a copy of the above disclosures, as included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2022, and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Grant Thornton LLP agreed with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP’s letter, dated June 9, 2022, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to that Current Report on Form 8-K.

On June 7, 2022, our Audit Committee approved the engagement of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through June 7, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or (iii) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. Abstentions are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of PwC, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the Ratification of the Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2025.

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 24 |

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on the Company’s Executive Compensation

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the overall compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the “Executive and Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement. This advisory vote is commonly referred to as “say-on-pay.”

A substantial percentage of our named executive officers’ compensation is directly tied to stock performance and the attainment of financial and other performance measures the Board believes promote long-term shareholder value and position us for long-term success. As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the mix of fixed and performance-based compensation, the terms of our incentive compensation programs, and the weighting of variable compensation more heavily toward equity awards, are all designed to enable us to attract and retain top talent and align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, while balancing risk and reward. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe the design of the programs, and the compensation awarded to the named executive officers under the current programs, fulfills these objectives.

Although the vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully consider the outcome of the vote in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company’s compensation programs. We currently intend to hold say-on-pay votes on executive compensation annually until the next vote to determine the frequency of such an advisory vote in 2028. Accordingly, we anticipate the next say-on-pay vote will be held at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

We are asking our shareholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers by voting “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non‑votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Company’s executive compensation.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024 and has discussed these financial statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accountants the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accountants.

On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of services for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent registered public accountants. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services as compared to the approved amounts. The Audit Committee may also delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a subcommittee consisting of one or more members, provided that such pre-approvals are reported on at a subsequent Audit Committee meeting. All services performed for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with our IPO, we entered into a stockholders agreement with certain stockholders of the Company, including Sanken and the OEP Investor. The stockholders agreement was amended and restated by the parties as of June 16, 2022 (the amended and restated agreement is referred to in this proxy statement as the “Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the parties agreed that:

•
the size of the Board is fixed at 11 directors;
•
for as long as Sanken, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of our Common Stock, Sanken will have the right to designate that number of individuals for nomination in any election of directors which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected as directors, when taken together with any incumbent directors that have been nominated by Sanken not then standing for election, would result in there being three such directors designated by Sanken on our Board;
•
for as long as the OEP Investor, directly or indirectly, beneficially owned, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of our Common Stock, the OEP Investor also had certain Board designation rights. In February 2024 when the OEP Investor ceased to beneficially own at least five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “OEP Trigger”), its designation rights became rights of the NCGC, which now has the right to designate that number of individuals for nomination in any election of directors which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected as directors, when taken together with any incumbent directors that have been nominated by the NCGC not then standing for election, would result in there being five such directors designated by the NCGC on our Board without the prior written approval of Sanken;
•
for as long as both Sanken and the OEP Investor each beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of our Common Stock, Sanken and the OEP Investor had joint Board designation rights to designate that number of individuals for nomination in any election of directors which, assuming all such individuals were successfully elected as directors, when taken together with any incumbent directors that had been nominated pursuant to the joint designation right not then standing for election, would result in there being one such director on our Board appointed under the joint designation right (provided, that any individual jointly designated as described in this clause that is different from the individual designated by Sanken and the OEP Investor in the Stockholders Agreement required the prior written approval of both Sanken and the OEP Investor);
•
the NCGC will have the right to designate that number of individuals for nomination in any election of directors which, assuming all such individuals are successfully elected as directors, when taken together with any incumbent directors that have been nominated by the NCGC not then standing for election, would result in there being another director designated by the NCGC (the individual described in this clause being the “Nom/Gov Director”);
•
Mr. Suzuki is designated as the Nom/Gov Director and shall serve as the Chairperson of the Board until the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, after which the Chairperson of the Board shall be appointed by the Board upon the recommendation of the NCGC; and
•
unless otherwise agreed, our then-current Chief Executive Officer will be designated for nomination by the Board in any applicable election.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Sanken generally has the right to remove and replace directors that it has designated. Each of Sanken and the OEP Investor also agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, all of their outstanding shares of our Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of shareholders in which directors are elected, and to otherwise take all necessary action (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) so as to cause the election or appointment of the designees described above. Additionally, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Company has agreed to take all commercially reasonable actions to cause (1) our Board to be comprised of the number of directors described above; (2) the individuals designated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to be included in the slate of nominees to be elected at the next annual or special meeting of our shareholders at which directors are to be elected, and at each annual meeting of our shareholders thereafter at which a director’s term expires; and (3) the individuals designated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to fill the applicable vacancies on our Board. The Stockholders Agreement allows for our Board to reject the nomination, appointment or election of a particular director if such nomination, appointment or election would constitute a breach of the Board’s fiduciary duties to our shareholders or does not otherwise comply with any requirements of our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement provides Sanken with a consent right (subject to certain ownership minimums) over our entry into any transaction with the OEP Investor, any of their respective affiliates or any of our affiliates. The Stockholders Agreement also includes a covenant between Sanken and the OEP Investor that gives the OEP Investor the right to require Sanken to vote all of its shares in favor of any matter that our Board has determined is advisable and in the best interests of the shareholders and has recommended that the shareholders adopt. The Stockholders Agreement further provides that neither Sanken nor the OEP Investor will directly sell a portion of its Common Stock representing greater than 10% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock to a material competitor of the Company or of the other shareholder in a privately negotiated sale solely between such selling shareholder and such competitor, without the prior written consent of the OEP Investor (in the case of a sale by Sanken) or Sanken (in the case of a sale by the OEP Investor).

The Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) each of (i) Sanken and its affiliates and (ii) the OEP Investor and its affiliates ceasing to own any shares of our Common Stock, and (b) the unanimous written consent of the parties thereto. In addition, the rights and obligations of Sanken and the OEP Investor under the Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon Sanken and its affiliates (in the case of Sanken) or the OEP Investor and its affiliates (in the case of the OEP Investor) ceasing to own any shares of our Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the OEP Investor and its affiliates cease to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, any right or benefit to which the OEP Investor was entitled as a result of holding at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock automatically became a right or benefit of the NCGC for so long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect, and the NCGC has the right to enforce any such rights or benefits mutatis mutandis as though it were the OEP Investor under any applicable provision (but without regard to any share ownership requirements set forth therein), leaving all of Sanken’s and the Company’s obligations in respect of any such provisions in full force and effect. Further, if the OEP Investor ceases to own any shares of Common Stock, the Stockholders Agreement shall remain in effect, and all other rights and obligations of the OEP Investor and its affiliates shall automatically become a right or obligation of the NCGC for so long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect, and the NCGC shall have the right to enforce any such rights mutatis mutandis as though it were the OEP Investor under any applicable provision, and accordingly all of Sanken’s and the Company’s obligations in respect of any such provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Director Independence

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). Under Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if that company’s board of directors affirmatively determines that such person does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Our Board undertook a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that none of David J. Aldrich, Richard R. Lury, Susan D. Lynch, Joseph R. Martin, Mary G. Puma and Jennie M. Raubacher, representing six of our 11 directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq rules. Additionally, Paul Carl (Chip) Schorr IV was independent during fiscal year 2024, and Andrew G. Dunn was independent during the period he served on the Board in fiscal year 2024.

In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including their beneficial ownership of our capital stock and relationships with certain of our significant shareholders, and the transactions involving them described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

Director Candidates

Other than director candidates designated by Sanken pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the NCGC is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the NCGC may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The NCGC may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the NCGC reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 30 |

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the NCGC for candidates for election as a director. Mary Puma, who was elected to the Board in October 2024 and jointly designated by Sanken and the OEP Investor under the Stockholders Agreement, was identified as a potential director candidate and presented to the NCGC and the Board by a third-party recruiting firm, which was engaged by the NCGC to assist the NCGC in (i) identifying director candidates that meet the Company’s director qualifications set forth below, (ii) coordinating interviews with those qualified candidates selected by the NCGC for further consideration, and (iii) completing the due diligence work of the NCGC, as needed. Once identified as a candidate, the NCGC evaluated Ms. Puma following the process described below and recommended that she be elected to the Board.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the NCGC, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors, including: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; the categories of skills and experience identified in the director skills and experience matrix; strong finance experience; relevant social policy concerns; experience relevant to the Company’s industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of the Company’s operations; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other Board members; diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the NCGC may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.

Shareholders may recommend individuals to the NCGC for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the NCGC, c/o Secretary, Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., 955 Perimeter Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, 03103. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the NCGC will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Communications from Shareholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by shareholders and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from shareholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as our Secretary considers appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Secretary considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs or personal grievances. Shareholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors in writing: c/o Secretary, Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. 955 Perimeter Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, 03103.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Currently, the roles are separated, with Yoshihiro Suzuki serving as Chairman of the Board and Vineet Nargolwala serving as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director. Our Board has determined that separating the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the strategic management of our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman to focus on leading the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and independently overseeing, management. The Board recognizes the time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to the position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman. The Board believes that having separate positions, with a non-executive director serving as the Chairman, is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company at this time and allows the Board to fulfill its role with appropriate independence. For these reasons and because

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 31 |

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

of the strong leadership of Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Nargolwala, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time.

However, our Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that whenever our Chairman of the Board is also a member of management or is a director that does not otherwise qualify as an independent director, the independent directors may elect a lead director. The Board does not currently have a lead director.

Our Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. Our Board is responsible for overseeing our risk management process. Our Board focuses on our general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing us, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. Our Audit Committee is also responsible for discussing our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to accounting matters and financial reporting. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. Our NCGC is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our Board and potential conflicts of interest. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through discussions with committee members and regular reports from management about such risks, as well as the actions taken by management to adequately address those risks.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions). A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters.” In addition, we have or intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

Attendance by Members of the Board at Meetings

There were five meetings of the full Board during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, not including special meetings convened in which only a subset of the Board were invited participants. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters,” a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and all committees on which the director serves (including separate meetings of the non-management and independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is expected to notify the Chairman of the Board or the chair of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an in-person meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, it is expected that directors will attend, absent compelling circumstances. The 2023 virtual annual meeting was attended by Messrs. Suzuki, Aldrich, Hatano, Kawashima and Nargolwala and Ms. Lynch.

Executive Summary

2024 Business Results

Allegro delivered record fiscal year 2024 sales of more than $1 billion, a company first, representing 8% year-over-year growth. We also achieved record level design wins of more than $1 billion. E-Mobility, which includes the increasing electrification of vehicles and higher adoption of advanced driver assistance systems and features, continues to drive Allegro’s above-market growth and accounted for more than half of fiscal year 2024 design wins. Emphasizing our ongoing commitment to innovation, since our IPO, we kicked off a record number of products in fiscal year 2024, while introducing over thirty new products to the market, including initial products in our Power-Thru TM isolated gate driver portfolio. We also extended our leadership position in magnetic sensing with our acquisition of Crocus Technology International Corp. and are seeing strong interest from customers for our highly differentiated XtremeSense TM TMR technology.

Important 2024 Compensation Actions

Our Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, sets the compensation of our NEOs. In fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee took the following actions with respect to the compensation of our NEOs:

•
As part of our standard annual review cycle, reviewed the base salaries and, under the Company's Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”), the annual target bonus opportunities for our NEOs, approving:
o
Salary increases of 10.0%, 6.3%, 2.6%, 3.9% and 6.7% for Messrs. Nargolwala, D’Antilio, Doogue and Glover, and Ms. Briansky, respectively;
o
An increase to Mr. Nargolwala’s target bonus opportunity from 110% to 125% of base salary and maintaining the annual target bonus opportunities under the AIP for each of our other NEOs;
•
Approved AIP performance metrics, weighting non-GAAP Operating Income, further adjusted for the operational impact of acquisitions (“Performance EBIT”) performance at 60%, revenue performance at 30% and adding a new metric for new products released to market weighted at 10%; and
•
Approved Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) compensation, consisting of a combination of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to provide strong links to long-term shareholder value creation and promote alignment with investors.

As illustrated below, our executive compensation program utilizes annual and long-term incentive awards, including awards that are contingent on Company performance relative to our key performance metrics. The pay mix charts set forth below are based on target compensation and include annualized base salary, target annual bonus under the AIP, and annual long-term equity-based awards at target.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The overall objective of our compensation program is to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term value for our stakeholders. We pursue this objective via:

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 38 |

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

•
Alignment with long-term shareholders’ interests. We believe our executives’ interests are more directly aligned with our shareholders’ interests when compensation programs emphasize an appropriate balance of short- and long-term financial performance.
•
External competitiveness. We believe an executive’s total pay at the target performance level should be competitive with the total target pay provided by companies of similar industry, size and complexity in order to attract qualified executives, motivate performance and retain, develop and reward executives with the abilities and skills needed to foster long-term value creation.
•
Motivating achievement of financial goals and strategic objectives. We believe an effective way to create value over the long term is to make a significant portion of an executive’s overall pay dependent on the achievement of our short- and long-term financial goals and strategic objectives.
•
Rewarding superior performance. We believe that although an executive’s total compensation should be tied to achievement of financial goals and strategic objectives and should be competitive with companies of similar industry, size and complexity at the target performance level, performance that exceeds target should be appropriately rewarded. We also believe there should be a downside risk of below-target payouts if our financial performance is below target and if we do not achieve our financial goals and strategic objectives.
•
Responding to change. We believe that as our industry continues to evolve and our opportunities for competitive business advantages change over time, we must also continue to evolve in order to continue to create value. Our compensation programs must likewise be tailored to our strategic priorities (which may require changing the performance measures in our incentive plans from time to time) and our current outlook (which may impact how we calibrate incentive plan payouts to various levels of performance).

Compensation Governance and Best Practices

We are committed to maintaining strong governance standards with respect to our compensation programs, procedures, and practices. For example:

| What we do
√ | Our executive compensation decisions are made by the non-employee members of our Board or by our Compensation Committee, which is made up exclusively of independent members.
√ | Our Compensation Committee has retained an independent executive compensation consulting firm to provide objective analysis, advice and information.
√ | We make a significant portion of each NEO’s overall compensation dependent on our performance measures against pre-determined targets for short- and long-term financial performance measures, targets that we believe are challenging, yet achievable.
√ | We impose a limit on the maximum pool funding under our AIP and cap payouts on our PSUs, including a cap on TSR-based metrics at 100% of target for instances of negative absolute TSR.

Role of the Compensation Committee, Compensation Consultant and Management

In setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers a number of factors, including the CEO’s recommendations (other than with respect to his own compensation), the recommendations and competitive market data and analysis provided by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, Company performance and each executive’s impact on that performance, each executive’s relative scope of responsibility and potential, each executive’s individual performance and demonstrated leadership, and each executive’s professional experience and tenure with the Company. The Compensation Committee also considers prior fiscal year adjustments to executive compensation, historical payments under our AIP and our historical equity award grant practices. The Compensation Committee has the final authority to approve annual compensation packages for all executives, with the exception of the compensation for the CEO, which the Compensation Committee recommends to the non-employee members of the Board for approval.

Prior to the start of each fiscal year, we develop Company performance metrics aligned with our annual operating plan for our employees, including our NEOs. These goals represent key performance objectives that are incorporated into the AIP framework and then submitted to the Compensation Committee for consideration and approval. After our fiscal year-end financial results are available, the Compensation Committee approves annual bonus payout amounts under our AIP for our executives for the just-completed fiscal year, with the exception of the annual bonus payout amount for the CEO, which the Compensation Committee recommends to the non-employee members of the Board for approval.

The Compensation Committee has engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide research and analysis and to make recommendations on the form and level of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee sought input from Meridian on executive compensation matters for the 2024 fiscal year, including the design and competitive position of our executive compensation program, our peer group (see below for additional information on our peer group), appropriate compensation levels, and evolving compensation trends.

Based on its consideration of the various factors set forth in the rules promulgated by the SEC and Nasdaq rules, the Compensation Committee has determined that the work performed by Meridian has not raised any conflict of interest.

Competitive Positioning

We perform a competitive market analysis of our executive compensation programs annually and director compensation programs biennially to ensure that the total compensation packages of our executive officers and the eligible, non-employee members of our Board are within a reasonably competitive range of companies of similar industry, size and complexity. In connection with its fiscal year 2024 compensation actions and decisions, the Compensation Committee considered a competitive market analysis prepared by Meridian in February of 2023 (see below for more information on the competitive market analysis). The Meridian analysis determined that the NEOs’ target cash compensation, comprised of annual base salary, plus annual target bonus under the AIP, was in aggregate below the 50th percentile relative to competitive market data in the aggregate. The analysis also found that the grant date fair values of equity incentive awards that we granted during fiscal year 2023 were also below the 50th percentile in aggregate.

The Compensation Committee considered these results in its compensation program decision-making for fiscal year 2024.

Competitive Market Analysis

In February 2023, Meridian conducted a competitive market analysis to support the Compensation Committee in connection with its executive and non-employee director compensation decisions for fiscal year 2024. To develop an understanding of the competitive marketplace, the Compensation Committee reviewed the executive compensation practices of a group of publicly traded companies based on compensation data gathered from publicly available filings. Meridian worked with the Compensation Committee to review and select the Company’s peer group.

In determining the peer group to be utilized in making compensation decisions for fiscal year 2024 (the “Peer Group”), the Compensation Committee and Meridian reviewed and considered factors such as industry, total revenue, market

capitalization, growth, and profitability margins. The Peer Group was selected based on the evaluation of all of these factors. The Peer Group consisted of the following 14 companies, which was the same group of 14 companies that comprised the peer group used for fiscal year 2023:

Peer Group
Cirrus Logic, Inc. | ON Semiconductor Corporation
Diodes Incorporated | Power Integrations, Inc.
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation | Rambus Inc.
MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. | Semtech Corporation
MaxLinear, Inc. | Silicon Laboratories Inc.
Microchip Technology Incorporated | Synaptics Incorporated
Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. | Wolfspeed, Inc.

As indicated in the table below, at the time of the competitive market analysis in February 2023, our revenue approximated the Peer Group 43rd percentile, our headcount the 79th percentile, and our market capitalization the 64th percentile.

Allegro = 43rd percentile | Allegro = 79th percentile | Allegro = 64th percentile

The Compensation Committee uses the market analysis as a reference point to ensure that our executive compensation program is competitive with market practice for our Peer Group. In the case of each executive officer, the Compensation Committee compares the overall compensation of each individual against the compensation data developed through the market analysis, if their position is sufficiently similar to the positions identified in the data to make the comparison meaningful. The Compensation Committee reviews a full array of competitive market data as part of this comparison process rather than isolating a particular percentile with respect to any portion of the executives’ pay. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee’s decisions with respect to each executive’s total compensation, and each individual compensation element, are based in large part on its assessment of the Company’s and individual’s performance, as well as other factors, such as internal equity across the organization.

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 41 |

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation Elements

We use the following key elements to compensate our NEOs:

Compensation Element | Purpose | Timing of Payment(s)
Base Salary Representing the only fixed element of total direct compensation | • Provide a competitive fixed rate of pay relative to similar positions in the market. • Enable the Company to attract and retain critical executive talent. | • Paid bi-weekly throughout the year
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) Cash-settled and tied to the achievement of short-term (one year or less) Company financial and / or strategic goals | • Focus executive officers on achieving progressively challenging short-term performance goals that align with the Company’s annual operating plan and result in long-term value creation. | • Lump-sum payment in the first quarter of the following fiscal year for executives as of the end of the fiscal year
Long-Term Incentives Comprised of a selection of equity awards and vesting criteria tailored to promote long-term alignment of pay with shareholders | • Focus our executive officers on long-term relative and absolute performance goals that strongly align with and drive shareholder value creation, as well as support the Company’s leadership retention strategy. | • Annual equity awards generally vest over a three-year period from date of grant

Variation in competitive positioning among executives is to be expected, to recognize differences in individual performance, tenure, or scope of responsibility relative to market. However, we generally position each compensation element within a competitive range (+/- 15% for base salary and AIP target compensation, +/- 20% for grant date fair value of long-term incentives) of the market 50th percentile.

Fiscal Year 2024 Base Salaries

NEO base salaries are an important part of their total compensation package and are intended to reflect their respective positions, duties, and responsibilities. Our Compensation Committee annually reviews and determines the base salaries of our executives. During fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of the NEOs, approving the adjustments shown in the table below, as applicable, for all NEOs (with the exception of the CEO, whose base salary adjustment was recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the non-employee members of the Board). In deciding whether to make any annual adjustments, the Compensation Committee considered factors, including each NEO’s performance, tenure, and job responsibilities, in addition to considering market information from our February 2023 competitive analysis.

Mr. Nargolwala had the lowest competitive position relative to market data among our NEOs both prior to and following his market adjustment.

Fiscal Year 2024 AIP

Each of our NEOs participates in our AIP, which is focused on rewarding our executive officers for annual operating performance that meets or exceeds pre-established goals. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews and determines each NEO’s target bonus opportunity (expressed as a percentage of base salary) under the AIP (with the exception of the CEO, whose target bonus opportunity is recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the non-employee members of the Board). During fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed each NEO’s target bonus opportunity, recommending that the Board approve the adjustment to Mr. Nargolwala’s target shown in the table below, in order to bring it to the market median level. The Compensation Committee considered the same factors as

in its deliberations relating to base salaries, as well as our desire to motivate achievement of short-term financial objectives via meaningful annual incentive opportunities. Each NEO’s target bonus opportunity was generally aligned to the market 50th percentile, as detailed in the February 2023 competitive analysis.

Mr. Nargolwala had the lowest competitive position relative to market data for target total cash among our NEOs prior to his market adjustment and remained below median after his market adjustment.

The actual amount of the annual bonuses paid under the AIP each year may be more or less than the applicable NEO’s target bonus opportunity, depending on Company performance against a set of pre-established performance metrics. For fiscal year 2024, these Company performance metrics included Performance EBIT (weighted 60%), revenue growth (weighted 30%), and a new metric for products released to market (“RTMs”) (weighted 10%). The RTM metric was added to increase the entire organization’s focus on advancing both the speed and volume of product development. The annual bonuses under the AIP are also subject to potential increase or reduction at the discretion of the Compensation Committee (or the Board in the case of the CEO), based on individual NEO performance during the fiscal year (the “Multiplier for Individual Performance”).

The table below illustrates AIP determinations at various levels of performance and the actual performance in fiscal year 2024 for each metric. For performance between points referenced in the table, straight line interpolation is used for the determination of actual achievement of performance metrics. target aip mix 60% 10% 30% performance ebit revenue rtm performance

Actual performance for Performance EBIT for the period is calculated from GAAP operating income, as adjusted as provided in Appendix A.

In May 2024, the Compensation Committee assessed the Company’s fiscal year 2024 achievement of the corporate performance objectives, as detailed in the table above. The sum of the Performance EBIT, revenue and RTM performance portions of the pool funding resulted in total pool funding at 85.6% of target. Additionally, the Compensation Committee did not choose to exercise upward or downward discretion based on individual performance for fiscal year 2024 AIP payout determinations, and so the Multiplier for Individual Performance for all NEOs was 1.0.

The AIP payments with respect to fiscal year 2024 detailed above are expected to be paid to each NEO on June 28, 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024 Equity Compensation

We use equity awards as a form of long-term incentive compensation to motivate and reward executive officers for effectively executing longer-term strategic and financial objectives. The multi-year vesting provisions of these awards also support the Company’s leadership retention strategy. The value of these equity awards is based on the value of our Common Stock, and these awards help align the interests of our executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders.

In fiscal year 2024, our annual equity awards consisted of a combination of RSUs and PSUs. Further details regarding awards granted during fiscal year 2024 are set forth below. The Compensation Committee elected to use PSUs as the primary equity vehicle for annual equity awards to NEOs to strengthen the alignment between rewards and the achievement of our longer-term strategic goals referenced in the PSUs.

For each eligible executive, the Committee considers the relative value of equity awards compared to the equity awards held by other executive officers, the desired incentive mix between PSU awards and RSU awards, a compensation analysis performed by Meridian, and the individual experience, skills and performance level of the executive officer to determine the size of equity awards.

Annual Equity Awards

The annual equity awards granted to each of our NEOs consisted of RSUs (40% of each LTI award) and PSUs (60% of each LTI award). The RSUs are scheduled to vest in three equal installments on each of May 16, 2024, 2025, and 2026, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The PSUs vest based on achievement of four separate performance and service criteria, as outlined in the table below and described in greater detail following the table. psu award weighting (at target) 50% 15% 15% 20% relative tsr strategic product revenue cumulative performance ebitda cumulative cycle time

Cumulative Cycle Time | 15% | Three year (fiscal years 2024 through 2026) | Earned portion of PSU shares (if any) based on this metric vest on May 16, 2026

PSUs by metric are earned as follows:

•
The Relative TSR portion is earned based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance, as measured relative to the performance of companies in the SOX Index over a three-year period (fiscal years 2024 through 2026);
•
The Strategic Products revenue portion is earned based on our revenue applicable to products that drove our growth in the e-Mobility and industrial markets in fiscal year 2024 (the “Strategic Products”), as compared to pre-established threshold, target and maximum goals;
•
The cumulative non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, further adjusted for the operational impact of acquisitions (“Performance EBITDA”) portion is earned based on cumulative Performance EBITDA, as compared to threshold, target and maximum goals for each of fiscal year 2024, the two-year period encompassing fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and the three-year period encompassing fiscal years 2024, 2025 and 2026; and
•
The cumulative cycle time metric portion is earned based on the average number of weeks from product development kickoff to product RTM for 85% of the total products released to market as compared to a target number of cycle time weeks for the three-year period encompassing fiscal years 2024 through 2026.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

For the Relative TSR metric, target vesting at 100% of this portion of the award is achieved if the Company’s TSR equals the TSR of the median company in the SOX Index. The actual number of PSUs that will be earned can range from 0% - 200% of the target amount, with a threshold vest (fixed at 50% of the target number of PSUs for this portion of the award) achieved if the Company’s TSR equals the TSR of the 25 th percentile SOX Index company, and a maximum vest (fixed at 200% of the target number of PSUs for this portion of the award) achieved if the Company’s TSR equals or exceeds the TSR of the 75 th percentile SOX Index company. Straight line interpolation is used for vesting determinations for performance between threshold and target or between target and maximum. If the Company’s TSR is negative during the performance period, vesting is capped at target for this portion of the award, regardless of what the award formula would otherwise specify for this portion of the award.

Benefits and Perquisites

We maintain broad-based benefits for all employees, and our NEOs are eligible to participate on the same basis as other U.S.-based, full-time employees. The retirement plan, as well as our other benefits, are designed to be competitive in the labor market and to provide financial protection and security for employees and their families.

Health/Welfare Plans

We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance to our NEOs and pay a portion of the premiums for these benefits consistent with the arrangements for all of our other U.S.-based, full-time employees. We also provide our NEOs and other eligible employees, at our expense, with group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance benefits; paid time off benefits; and other ancillary benefits.

Charitable Contributions Matching Program

Subject to certain limitations, we match charitable donations made by our NEOs (and other senior executives) to eligible charitable organizations, up to a $5,000 annual limit per person. All other global employees are eligible for a match under the program of up to a $2,000 annual limit per person.

Service Anniversary Awards

All global employees receive cash awards in recognition of continuous service to the Company upon the attainment of certain milestone years of service. The amount of a service award is fixed regardless of title, role or position with the Company, but varies based on geography.

Inventor Awards Program

Under our Inventor Awards Program, our employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to earn cash incentives associated with U.S. patents, including upon filing invention disclosures, issuances of first, second, and third patents associated with such invention disclosures, and in respect of an annual “innovation award” selected from patents issued in respect of invention filings in a given year. Incentives associated with the foregoing patent-related awards range from $100 to $5,000 per occurrence, depending on the particular type of award.

Retirement Plan

We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for our U.S.-based employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as other full-time employees in the U.S. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis or after-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) Plan. During fiscal year 2024, we matched contributions made by participants in the 401(k) Plan up to five percent (5%) of the employee’s eligible compensation, up to the statutory eligible compensation limit, and these matching contributions were fully vested as of the date they were made.

Deferred Compensation Plan

We maintain an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) under which eligible employees, including our NEOs, are permitted to defer up to 90% of their base salary and/or up to 100% of any amount earned under the AIP. All deferrals are fully vested as of the date the deferral is made. During fiscal year 2024, we also made fully vested employer contributions to our NEOs’ (and other participants’) DCP accounts. The amounts of these contributions were designed to replace matching contributions to our 401(k) Plan for eligible wages paid over the applicable statutory limits and are capped at five percent (5%) of the participant’s annual eligible compensation that exceeds the statutory limit. Amounts deferred under the DCP may be notionally invested by participants in one or more of the investment choices offered in the DCP, all of which are investments offered in the 401(k) Plan and are subject to adjustment for earnings or losses resulting from these investments.

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 48 |

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

DCP accounts are generally distributable upon the first to occur of a participant’s termination of employment (subject to a six-month delay if required by applicable regulations), the participant’s death, or a change in control of the Company. Participants may also elect certain in-service or other fixed distribution dates and/or installment payments (including with respect to distributions following a termination of employment).

No Perquisites or Tax “Gross Ups”

We do not currently provide material perquisites to our NEOs, and we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. In the future, we may provide perquisites or other personal benefits in limited circumstances, such as where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual executive officer in the performance of the executive’s duties, to make our executive officers more efficient and effective, and for recruitment, motivation, or retention purposes. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved by the Compensation Committee.

We do not provide tax “gross ups” to our named executive officers.

Compensation Policies

Prohibition on Option Re-Pricing and Backdating

We currently have no outstanding stock option awards, but if we choose to grant stock options in the future, options to purchase shares of our Common Stock will be granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on the effective date of grant. The Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”) prohibits re-pricing of equity awards without shareholder approval, except in connection with certain corporate transactions involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, distribution, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Company stock or other securities, or similar transactions).

Compensation Recovery

On November 6, 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted the Clawback Policy, effective as of October 2, 2023, to comply with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder by the SEC, and the Nasdaq listing standards regarding clawback provisions. The Clawback Policy provides that if the Company is required to prepare a restatement, the Company will be required to recover reasonably promptly from any current or former executive officer of the Company any amount of incentive-based compensation received during the three fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that would have been paid based on the corrected financial reporting measure. For purposes of the Clawback Policy, a restatement means an accounting restatement to correct the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, including restatements that correct an error in previously issued financial statements (a) that is material to the previously issued financial statements or (b) that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.

During the preparation of the third quarter fiscal year 2024 interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company identified and corrected an immaterial error in the classification of net sales by application (Automotive, Industrial and Other), whereby customer returns and sales allowances were incorrectly classified by application between Automotive, Industrial and Other in the prior periods (the “Revenue Revision”). There was no impact to previously reported total net sales or net income in any of the prior periods, but the Revenue Revision qualified as a restatement under the Clawback Policy. Company management prepared an analysis of the incentive-compensation measures utilized in fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 and determined that: (1) adjustments to the financial reporting measures in the applicable years as a result of the Revenue Revision did not apply to any element of incentive-based compensation except Strategic Products revenue (and a similar measure for emerging products revenue in a prior fiscal year), and (2) Strategic Products revenue increased for each applicable year as a result of the Revenue Revision and would not have resulted in a lower payout amount for any applicable year. At a meeting on June 11, 2024, the Compensation Committee, as administrator of the Clawback Policy, reviewed management’s analysis and concluded that there was no erroneously awarded compensation under the Clawback Policy, and therefore recovery of erroneously awarded compensation was not required pursuant to the Clawback Policy.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading and Compliance Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, employees and other Covered Persons (as defined in the Insider Trading and Compliance Policy), that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to us. The policy prohibits Covered Persons from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, or that may cause any Covered Person to no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other shareholders. In addition, our Insider Trading Compliance Policy provides that no Covered Person may pledge Company securities as collateral to secure loans. This prohibition means, among other things, that these individuals may not hold Company securities in a “margin” account, which would allow the individual to borrow against their holdings to buy securities.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company has robust stock ownership guidelines for directors and officers that require each non-employee director who receives compensation from the Company for their Board services (“Covered Directors”) and senior officers and certain other senior employees of the Company (“Covered Executives”) to own shares of our Common Stock. Our stock ownership guidelines are limited to Covered Directors because some non-employee directors serve as appointees of shareholders under the Stockholders Agreement and do not receive any shares of Common Stock or other compensation for their service on the Board. See the “2024 Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement for additional information regarding Board compensation.

Under the guidelines, all current Covered Directors and Covered Executives, including each of our NEOs, must own shares of our Common Stock with a value equal to a certain multiple of the annual cash retainer for Board members, in the case of Covered Directors, or base salary, in the case of Covered Executives. Please refer to the table below for the applicable multiple for our Covered Directors, CEO and other Covered Executives. Equity interests that count towards the satisfaction of the ownership guidelines include unvested time-based RSUs, and vested shares, including shares owned outright, shares jointly owned, shares owned in retirement accounts, and shares owned in trust or other estate planning vehicles for the benefit of a Covered Director or Covered Executive’s immediate family members. Unearned performance awards and unexercised stock options, if we were to issue stock options, do not count towards the ownership guidelines. Covered Directors and Covered Executives have four years from the date of the Company’s IPO or, if later, the date they first become a member of the Board or an officer to meet the ownership levels. For purposes of these guidelines, shares are valued based upon the then-current market value, or if higher, the value on the date of acquisition. Based on an evaluation on the Record Date, all of our NEOs and all Covered Directors were either in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines or are expected to be in compliance within this time window.

Covered Director |  | 3x
Chief Executive Officer |  | 6x
Other Covered Executives |  | 3x

Compensation Risk Assessment

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors, and reviewed these items with its independent compensation consultant, Meridian. In addition, our Compensation Committee asked Meridian to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive compensation program. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee does not believe our compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits the amount of remuneration that the Company may deduct in any calendar year for certain executive officers to $1 million. While the Compensation Committee will continue to consider the deductibility of compensation as a factor in making compensation decisions, it retains the flexibility to provide compensation that is consistent with the Company’s goals for its executive compensation program, even if such compensation would not be fully tax-deductible.

“Golden Parachute” Payments

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that certain executive officers and other service providers who are highly compensated or hold significant equity interests may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that we, or a successor, may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. We do not provide any tax gross ups to cover excise taxes under Section 4999 in connection with a change in control. Mr. Nargolwala’s employment agreement, entered into on May 2, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”), contains a provision that provides that in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Mr. Nargolwala in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, then such payments will be reduced if and to the extent that doing so will result in net after-tax payments and benefits for Mr. Nargolwala that are more favorable than the net after-tax payments and benefits payable to Mr. Nargolwala in the absence of such a reduction after the imposition of the excise tax. For additional details, see page 60.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation for all stock-based awards (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and full value stock awards, based on the aggregate estimated grant date fair value of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables on pages 53 - 55 of this proxy statement. ASC 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based compensation awards in their income statements over the period that an executive officer is required to render service in exchange for the option or other award.

Similarly, the AIP has a maximum pool funding level of 200% for all awards under the plan. In a scenario where the AIP pool funded at 200%, and assuming each NEO received 100% of such NEOs award, the maximum payouts under the 2024 AIP to our NEOs would be: Mr. Nargolwala: $1,650,000; Mr. D’Antilio: $637,500; Mr. Doogue: $600,000; Mr. Glover: $600,000; and Ms. Briansky: $560,000. The actual payouts under the 2024 AIP, which are expected to be made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 to our NEOs are: Mr. Nargolwala: $706,200; Mr. D’Antilio: $272,850; Mr. Doogue: $256,800; Mr. Glover: $256,800; and Ms. Briansky: $239,680.

Represents the target and maximum payout levels for PSU awards granted in fiscal year 2024. Threshold payout levels presented in the table for these awards assume that the only metric achieved is one period of cumulative Performance EBITDA (one-third of the 15% of the total target award allocated to cumulative Performance EBITDA, or 5% of target), achieved at its threshold payout level (2.5% of the total target PSU award).

Amounts in this column represent RSUs granted to NEOs in fiscal year 2024.
4.
Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU and PSU awards (at target with respect to PSUs) calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718, disregarding the effect of estimated forfeitures. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are set forth in note 18 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024 included in the 2024 Annual Report. In accordance with FASB ASC 718, the aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs presented above that are subject to non-market performance conditions is calculated based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, which was determined to be 100% of the target award level. The amounts set forth may be more or less than the value ultimately realized based upon, among other things, the value of our Common Stock at the time of vesting of the stock awards, whether the Company achieves certain performance goals and whether such awards actually vest.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Overview

The information provided in the following tables reflects the amount of incremental compensation required to be paid to each NEO in the event of a change in control of the Company, or a termination of the NEO’s employment. For purposes of the disclosure, we have assumed that all triggering event(s) took place on March 29, 2024, and we used the closing price per share on Nasdaq of our Common Stock on March 28, 2024 ($26.96), the last trading day of the 2024 fiscal year. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of benefits provided upon the occurrence of such events, actual

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 58 |

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

amounts paid or distributed may be different from the amounts disclosed below. Factors that could affect the actual amounts paid include:

•
when the event actually occurs;
•
the number of outstanding but unvested stock awards then held by the NEO;
•
awards granted after March 29, 2024;
•
the Company’s Relative TSR over a specified period and its performance against certain financial and/or business objectives established for determining the level of payment and/or vesting of outstanding, but unvested, stock awards; and
•
the Company’s stock price as of the date of such event.

Specifically excluded from the information and tables below are any amounts which are not contingent upon the occurrence of the triggering event(s) or payments pursuant to Company benefit plans that are generally available to all U.S. salaried employees of the Company and do not discriminate in scope or terms of operation in favor of our NEOs (e.g., term life insurance, long-term disability insurance, etc.).

Severance and Employment Agreements

We entered into severance agreements with each of Messrs. Doogue and Glover on October 3, 2017 and October 1, 2019, respectively (together, the “Severance Agreements”). On September 30, 2020, the Company amended and restated these Severance Agreements.

We entered into severance agreements with Ms. Briansky (the “Briansky Severance Agreement”) and Mr. D’Antilio (the “D’Antilio Severance Agreement”) in connection with their hiring on December 6, 2021 and January 10, 2022, respectively. Both the Briansky Severance Agreement and the D’Antilio Severance Agreement were amended on May 15, 2023 to remove a tax gross up provision related to post-employment healthcare coverage. Mr. Nargolwala’s severance provisions are described in the Employment Agreement as of his hire on June 13, 2022.

The Severance Agreements (as amended and restated), the Briansky and D’Antilio Severance Agreements, and the Employment Agreement provide that if a NEO’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason” (each such term as defined in the applicable agreement) (a “Qualifying Termination”), subject to the executive’s execution of an effective general release of claims and continued compliance with applicable non-competition, non-solicitation and (in the cases of Messrs. Doogue and Glover) other restrictive covenants applicable to the executive pursuant to their respective pre-IPO share award agreement, we will pay or provide the executive with the following severance benefits:

Benefit upon Qualifying Termination under applicable NEO agreement | Vineet Nargolwala | Derek P. D’Antilio | Michael C. Doogue / Max R. Glover / Sharon S. Briansky
Cash Severance 1 | Lump sum cash payment equal to 2.0 times his then-current base salary | Lump sum cash payment equal to 2.0 times his then-current base salary and target bonus | Lump sum cash payment equal to 1.0 times the NEO’s then-current base salary and target bonus
Prorated Bonus 1 | Cash payment equal to the amount of the executive’s target bonus in effect on the applicable date of termination, prorated for the number of days the executive was employed by the Company during the year of such termination
Treatment of RSU Awards | Accelerated vesting of outstanding RSU awards with respect to the number of shares that would have become vested on the next applicable vesting date following such Qualifying Termination | Any then-outstanding incentive equity awards (then-held by the NEO) will be governed by the applicable equity incentive plan or award agreement
Treatment of PSU Awards | Prorated vesting of outstanding PSU awards, with the applicable performance conditions being deemed achieved at the greater of the target performance level or the trending performance level, as determined by the Compensation Committee | Any then-outstanding incentive equity awards (then-held by the NEO) will be governed by the applicable equity incentive plan or award agreement
Continued Company-paid Health Care Coverage | For up to 12 months following termination | For up to 18 months following termination

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 59 |

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

1.
Subject to applicable withholding and for delays in distribution that may be required to comply with tax regulations related to deferred compensation, the cash severance benefit and prorated bonus will be paid in a lump-sum payment within fifteen days following termination for each NEO, with the exception of Mr. Nargolwala, whose payments are required to be made on the first regular payroll date following the date his general release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable.

Potential Payments upon Termination not Involving a Change in Control

Our NEOs would be entitled to severance payments and benefits in the event their employment with us is terminated following an involuntary termination, which would include a termination of the officer’s employment by us without cause or a resignation for good reason, or a Qualifying Termination. For more information, refer to the discussion above under the heading “Severance and Employment Agreements.” In addition, upon a Qualifying Termination outside of a 12-month period following a change in control of our Company, or a termination due to death or disability, an executive’s RSUs which are eligible to vest on the next vesting date following such termination will vest, and a prorated portion of such executive’s PSUs would vest as of the date of such termination, with the applicable performance conditions being deemed achieved at the greater of the target performance level or the trending performance level at the time of termination, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control

Under the terms of his Employment Agreement, if Mr. Nargolwala is terminated in a Qualifying Termination within 24 months of a Change in Control, he would receive all of the same benefits listed in the table in the “Severance and Employment Agreements” section above, except his lump sum cash severance amount would be equal to his multiplier times his annual base salary plus target bonus, and all of his equity would be treated in accordance with the following paragraph.

In addition, under the terms of the 2020 Plan, if an NEO has a Qualifying Termination within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, all outstanding equity incentive awards held by such executive under the 2020 Plan will vest, with the award agreement for outstanding PSUs specifying that performance for these awards shall be measured based on the greater of target or actual performance. “Cause” is defined under the 2020 Plan as the definition given to such term in a NEO’s severance or employment agreement.

Section 280G of the Code

The D’Antilio Severance Agreement and the Briansky Severance Agreement each provide that in the event that the cash severance and prorated bonus benefits set forth in the table in the “Severance and Employment Agreements” section above, the health care continuation coverage benefit, and/or any other any payment, coverage or benefit, including any accelerated vesting of Company equity compensation, provided in respect of Mr. D’Antilio’s or Ms. Briansky’s employment or termination of employment would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or would subject Mr. D’Antilio or Ms. Briansky to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then, provided that the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1 Q&A-6(a)(2)(i) are met, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval with respect to such parachute payments pursuant to Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, subject to Mr. D’Antilio’s or Ms. Briansky’s execution of a contingent waiver of his/her receipt of, or entitlement to retain, any such parachute payments, to the extent necessary to obtain such shareholder approval.

Mr. Nargolwala’s Employment Agreement contains a provision that provides that in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Mr. Nargolwala, including the benefits set forth in the “Severance and Employment Agreements” section above, would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the total payments due to Mr. Nargolwala shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the total payments are subject to the Excise Tax, but only if (i) the net amount of the total payments, as so reduced is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of the total payments without a reduction, in each case after taking into account the net amount of certain taxes and the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to potential payments.

Amounts reflect the aggregate value of RSUs and PSUs, valued using the closing price of our Common Stock on March 28, 2024 ($26.96).

RSUs – With respect to RSUs, amounts in the table include an additional tranche of vesting for a Qualifying Termination and for a termination in connection with death or disability, and vesting in full for a termination following a Change in Control.

PSUs – Performance Valuation – PSUs are valued and presented in the table as follows:

(i)
With respect to PSUs that were subject to completed performance periods as of March 29, 2024 but remained unvested as of that date, these PSUs are presented at the actual level of performance.
(ii)
With respect to PSUs subject to ongoing performance periods as of March 29, 2024, these PSUs are valued and presented in the table as follows:
a.
FY23 PSUs - For PSUs granted in fiscal year 2023 (“FY23 PSUs”), per the terms of the award agreement the performance metrics would have paid out between 100% and 200% of target depending on the metric, for a hypothetical termination event on March 29, 2024, so these performance factors were used to calculate the value of the FY23 PSUs as of March 29, 2024.
b.
FY24 PSUs - For PSUs granted in fiscal year 2024 (“FY24 PSUs”), per the terms of the award agreement the performance metrics would have paid out at 100% of target for a hypothetical termination event on March 29, 2024, so the FY24 PSUs are shown at 100%.

PSUs – Number of Shares Included – The number of PSUs included in the table is based on the nature of the termination event, as follows:

(i)
Termination Following A Change in Control - Per the terms of the PSU award agreements, all outstanding PSUs would vest in full upon a termination following a Change in Control.
(ii)
Death/Disability and Qualifying Termination - Per the terms of the PSU award agreements, amounts in the table represent the prorated portion of the award through March 29, 2024.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our other employees.

The total compensation for fiscal year 2024 to our CEO was $7,001,603, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 53. The annual total compensation for fiscal year 2024 for our median-compensated employee, determined to be an employee located in the Philippines, and identified as discussed below, was $10,410, as calculated in accordance with the rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table. Based on this information, for fiscal year 2024, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the total annual compensation of our median-compensated employee was approximately 673 to 1.

Methodology, Assumptions, and Estimates Used in Determining our Pay Ratio Disclosure

For our 2024 pay ratio, we evaluated our workforce as of December 31, 2023 and determined that neither the changes to the median-compensated employee’s compensation nor the changes to our employee population and compensation

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 67 |

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

structure as a whole have significantly impacted our pay ratio disclosure from last year. Therefore, we have used the same median compensated employee identified pursuant to our 2023 identification process.

The annual total compensation of the median-compensated employee and the annual total compensation of the CEO were calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

The pay ratio reported above is an estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our internal records and the methodology described above. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median-compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported above should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies. In addition, we expect the Company’s annually reported pay ratio may vary significantly year over year, given the size of the Company and the potential variability in Company employee compensation.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to holdings of our Common Stock by (i) shareholders who beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, and (ii) each of our directors, each of our NEOs and all current directors and executive officers as a group as of June 12, 2024, unless otherwise indicated.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each shareholder as described in this proxy statement is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. The percentage ownership of each individual or entity as of June 12, 2024 is computed on the basis of 193,784,314 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options, or other rights, held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of June 12, 2024, are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed below is 955 Perimeter Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, 03103. We believe, based on information provided to us, that each of the shareholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the shareholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our Board recognizes that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper valuation (or the perception thereof). Our Board has adopted a written policy that provides that our Audit Committee will approve or ratify related person transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Item 404 of Regulation S-K requires disclosure, subject to certain exceptions, of transactions in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any “related person” as defined under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The policy provides that the Audit Committee shall review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, taking into account any conflicts of interest and/or corporate opportunity provisions of our corporate governance documents and, if applicable, whether such transaction will impair a director or director nominee’s independence. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related person transaction in which they have an interest and that no director may participate in the approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a “related person.” Each of the transactions described below that were entered into during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024 were approved in accordance with our related person transaction policy. Transactions described below from before our IPO were entered into prior to the adoption of our related person transaction policy.

Related Person Transactions

In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements, discussed in the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation,” the following is a description of each transaction or agreement since March 31, 2023 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

•
we have been or are to be a participant;
•
the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000; and
•
any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing a household with, any of these individuals or entities, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

The following descriptions include summaries of certain provisions of our related party agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of any such agreement filed as an exhibit to our 2024 Annual Report.

Related Party Agreements

Wafer Foundry Agreement

Effective January 26, 2023, the Company and Polar Semiconductor, LLC (“PSL”) entered into a Wafer Foundry Agreement for the fabrication of wafers (the “WFA”). The WFA replaced an existing Wafer Foundry Agreement with PSL, which was due to expire on March 31, 2023. The WFA has a three-year term, and auto renews for subsequent one-year terms, unless terminated by either party providing two years notice. Pursuant to the WFA, the Company will provide a rolling annual forecast for three years, the first two years of which will be binding. If the Company fails to purchase the forecasted number of wafers for either of the first two years, it will pay a penalty for any shortfall for the given year. The parties also agreed upon production lead-times, as well as wafer, alignment, and mask pricing for the first two years of the term. Any changes to such pricing are subject to mutual agreement. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, the Company made aggregate purchases of approximately $60.4 million from PSL pursuant to the WFA. Accounts payable to PSL totaled $1.6 million during the year ended March 29, 2024.

Notes Receivable from PSL

On December 2, 2021, Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“AML”) entered into a loan agreement with PSL wherein PSL provided an initial promissory note to AML for a principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Initial PSL Loan”). The Initial PSL Loan will be repaid in equal installments, comprising of principal and interest accrued at 1.26% per annum, over a term of four years with payments due on the first day of each calendar year quarter (April 1st, July 1st, October 1st, and January 1st). On July 1, 2022, PSL borrowed an additional $7.5 million under the same terms of the PSL

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE | 71 |

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Loan (the “Secondary PSL Loan” and, together with the Initial PSL Loan, the “PSL Promissory Notes”). The loan funds were used by PSL to procure a deep ultraviolet scanner and other associated manufacturing tools necessary to increase wafer fabrication capacity in support of the Company’s increasing wafer demand. As of March 29, 2024, the outstanding balance of the PSL Promissory Notes was approximately $8.4 million. During the year ended March 29, 2024, PSL made quarterly payments to AML totaling approximately $4.0 million, which included approximately $0.2 million of interest income.

Sale and Subscription Agreement with PSL

On April 25, 2024, the Company entered into a Sale and Subscription Agreement (the “Sale and Subscription Agreement”) with Sanken, PSL, and PS Investment Aggregator, L.P. (“Subscriber”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sale and Subscription Agreement, in exchange for equity interests in PSL, Subscriber and an affiliate of Subscriber will make aggregate capital contributions to PSL of $175 million (the “Transaction”). The Sale and Subscription Agreement also contemplates that following closing of the Transaction, the Company, Sanken and Subscriber shall contribute all their equity interests in PSL and PSL indebtedness, including the PSL Promissory Notes held by the Company, in exchange for limited partnership interests of a newly formed Delaware limited partnership that, following a series of reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization”), will be the ultimate parent indirectly holding all of PSL’s issued and outstanding equity units (“Polar Parent”). In connection with the Reorganization, the Company, Sanken and Subscriber shall enter into a new partnership agreement for Polar Parent to account for the Reorganization into a limited partnership structure. Following the Reorganization, it is expected that the Company’s ownership of Polar Parent will be approximately 10.2%. Sanken is the principal stockholder of the Company, beneficially owning, in the aggregate, approximately 51% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of June 12, 2024. Prior to the Transaction, PSL is owned jointly by the Company and Sanken, with the Company holding 30% of PSL’s equity interests and Sanken holding the other 70%.

Distribution of Allegro Products in Japan

In July 2007, we entered into a distribution agreement with Sanken (the “Japan Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which we appointed Sanken to act as the exclusive distributor of our products in Japan (subject to certain exceptions for any products we and Sanken agree to exclude).

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into a termination of the distribution agreement with Sanken (the “Termination Agreement”). The Termination Agreement formally terminated the Japan Distribution Agreement, effective March 31, 2023. In connection with the termination of the Japan Distribution Agreement, and, as provided for in the Termination Agreement, the Company made a one-time payment of $5 million to Sanken in exchange for the cancellation of Sanken’s exclusive distribution rights in Japan. Concurrent with the Termination Agreement, AML and Sanken also entered into a short-term, nonexclusive distribution agreement (the “Short-Term Distribution Agreement”) and a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”), each of which were effective April 1, 2023. In addition, the Company allowed a one-time sales return from Sanken of resalable inventory of $4.2 million. The Short-Term Distribution Agreement provides for the management and sale of Company product inventory for a period of 24 months from April 1, 2023. Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Sanken agreed to continue to provide transition services for a period of six months from April 1, 2023 to a strategic customer as orders for the customer were transitioned from Sanken to the Company, and the Company agreed to pay Sanken for providing these transition services. No payments were made by the Company to Sanken under the Short-Term Distribution Agreement or the Consulting Agreement in the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024.

Transactions Involving Sanken

The Company sells products to, and purchases in-process products from Sanken. Net sales of the Company’s products to Sanken totaled approximately $6.2 million during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024. There were no trade accounts receivable, net from Sanken as of March 29, 2024. Other accounts receivable from Sanken totaled approximately $0.2 million as of March 29, 2024.

Sublease Agreement

On April 1, 2023, our subsidiary, Allegro MicroSystems Japan GK (“Allegro Japan”), entered into a sublease agreement with Sanken pursuant to which Allegro Japan subleases certain office building space in Japan from Sanken. The sublease automatically renews on an annual basis unless either party provides notice to the other party otherwise, and the agreement can be terminated by either party upon providing six months’ notice. We made aggregate payments of approximately $0.2 million to Sanken under the sublease agreement during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other measures, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. The key measures we consider include non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, non-GAAP Operating Income, non-GAAP Net Income and non-GAAP Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Performance EBIT, and Performance EBITDA (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or that occur relatively infrequently and/or that management considers to be unrelated to our core operations. By presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by our presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, as they provide a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Management believes that tracking and presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into matters such as: our ongoing core operations, our ability to generate cash to service our debt and fund our operations; and the underlying business trends that are affecting our performance. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are used by both management and our board of directors, together with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as gross profit, gross margin, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those being adjusted in the calculation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Our presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
