growth,&#148; said Rick Bergman, President and CEO. &#147;She has made invaluable contributions during periods of rapid transformation and expansion and will be leaving the company in a very strong financial position.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;As a result of our dynamic growth over the past few years, Synaptics is now a much larger company with increasing global scale. We believe we have the
right vision, talent and technological innovation to continue our position as the leading human interface company. This transition provides an opportunity to find another world-class CFO to provide strong financial leadership to take us through the
next phase of our growth,&#148; concluded Mr.&nbsp;Bergman. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Synaptics also raised its financial outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, with
revenue expected to be within the range of $440&nbsp;to&nbsp;$460 million, up from its prior guidance of $415 to $450 million.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About Synaptics
