(1) | The dollar amounts reported in this column are the amounts of total compensation reported for the Company’s principal executive officer, or PEO, Dr. Feng-Ming (Fermi) Wang, for each corresponding fiscal year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025,” above.
(2) | Compensation actually paid does not mean that our PEO was actually paid those amounts in the listed fiscal year, but this is a dollar amount derived from the starting point of the compensation reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table, under the methodology prescribed under the SEC’s rules, as shown in the reconciliation table below.
The following table presents a reconciliation of total compensation paid to the PEO for each year as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, above, to the compensation actually paid to the PEO, which was computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, as reported in the Pay versus Performance table, above.

The amounts in the Inclusion of Equity Values for PEO column in the table above are derived from the amounts set forth in the following table:

(3) | The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs other than the Company’s PEO (the “Non-PEO NEOs”), for each corresponding fiscal year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Executive Compensation –Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025” above and the Summary Compensation Tables for fiscal years 2024 - 2021 contained in the Company’s previously filed proxy statements. The non-PEO NEOs included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for fiscal year 2025, Les Kohn, John Young, Chan Lee, and John Ju; (ii) for fiscal year 2024, Les Kohn, Brian White, Chan Lee, and John Ju; (iii) for fiscal year 2023, Les Kohn, Brian White, Chan Lee, John Ju, and John Young; (iv) for fiscal year 2022, Les Kohn, Casey Eichler, Chan Lee, John Ju, and John Young; and (v) for fiscal year 2021, Les Kohn, Casey Eichler, Michael Chen, and Christopher Day.
(4) | This figure is the average of compensation actually paid for the Non-PEO NEOs in each listed fiscal year. Compensation actually paid does not mean that these Non-PEO NEOs were actually paid those amounts in the listed year, but this is a dollar amount derived from the starting point of Summary Compensation Table total compensation under the methodology prescribed under the SEC’s rules, as shown in the reconciliation table below.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the average of the total compensation paid to Non-PEO NEOs for each year as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above and in the Company’s previously filed proxy statements to the average compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs, which was computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, as reported in the Pay versus Performance table, above.

(5) | Total shareholder return is calculated by assuming that a $100 investment was made on the last trading day prior to the earliest fiscal year reported in this table and reinvesting all dividends until the last day of each reported fiscal year.
(6) | The peer group used is the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX), as used in the performance graph included in our annual report. Total shareholder return is calculated by assuming that a $100 investment was made on the last trading day prior to the earliest fiscal year reported in this table and reinvesting all dividends until the last day of each reported fiscal year.
(7) | The dollar amounts reported are the Company’s net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements.
(8) | The metric in this column, the Company’s revenue as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements, in our assessment, represents the most important Company financial performance measure (that is not otherwise disclosed in this table) used in fiscal year 2025 to link compensation actually paid to company performance for the NEOs for all years presented. In particular, 1/3 of the annual bonus program for NEOs for fiscal year 2025 is based on the revenue metric. Other key financial performance measures linked to executive compensation are described under “Financial Performance Measures,” below. For additional information regarding actual performance, peer group, and executive compensation for the most recently completed fiscal year, see “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” above.

Tabular List, Table | Financial Performance Measures As described in further detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, our executive compensation program incorporates various Company financial performance metrics. Such metrics are used in both our long-term and short-term incentive awards and are selected with the objective of incentivizing our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs to increase the long-term value of our Company for shareholders. The three most important financial performance measures used in fiscal year 2025 to link executive compensation actually paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs , for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our financial performance are as follows (listed in no particular order of importance):
