The Company's bankruptcy advisor performed a valuation of the reorganized Company dated as of June 12, 2025.

Prior to the receipt of Regulatory Approvals, at any time following the nineteen-week anniversary of the Effective Date, Renesas may require the Company to register the sale of shares of New Common Stock or other securities of the Company on a registration statement on Form S-1 or, if available, a registration statement on Form S-3, to conduct a primary offering of securities, the proceeds of which (after deducting underwriting commissions) will, in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, be directed to Renesas in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to issue shares of New Common Stock to Renesas pursuant to the Plan.

The foregoing registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including customary blackout periods, market conditions, the Company’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances and, if an underwritten offering is contemplated, the number of such underwritten offerings to be initiated during a year and the right of underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration statement.

The Company will generally pay all registration expenses in connection with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary indemnification and contribution provisions. The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate, with respect to each RRA Counterparty, at such time as such RRA Counterparty no longer owns any Registrable Securities, and in full and be of no further effect, at such time as there are no Registrable Securities held by any RRA Counterparties.
Debtor-In-Possession
The Company has applied Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 852: Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the three months ended September 28, 2025, related to the bankruptcy proceedings, including the write-off of original issue discount and deferred debt issuance costs associated with debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise and professional fees, are recorded as reorganization items, net. In addition, pre-petition Debtor obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases have been classified on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 28, 2025, as liabilities subject to compromise. These liabilities are reported at the allowed amounts by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. See Note 6, "Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases", for more information regarding reorganization items and liabilities subject to compromise.
The Debtors were operating as debtors-in-possession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as of September 28, 2025. The Bankruptcy Court approved "first day" orders filed by the Debtors that were designed primarily to mitigate the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s operations, customers, and employees. In general, as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors were authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to first day orders filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorizing the Debtors ability to: (i) retain and compensate professionals used in the ordinary course of business; (ii) pay prepetition wages, salaries, employee benefits and other compensation, (iii) maintain employee benefits programs and pay related obligations; (iv) pay certain prepetition taxes and fees; (v) continue existing cash management system, maintain existing business forms, and continue intercompany transactions (vi) use cash collateral; (vii) continue insurance program and pay all obligations; (viii) honor prepetition obligations to customers and continue customer programs; and (ix) pay prepetition trade claims.
Automatic Stay
Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court as summarized above, substantially all of the Debtors' pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code. Since the Effective Date, as a subsequent event, the automatic stay was lifted and previously stayed actions against the Debtors may continue with respect to the Debtors to the extent such claims were not released under the Plan.
Executory Contracts
Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors could assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease was treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieved the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitled the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease required the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. On the Effective Date, the Debtors assumed all executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan.
Potential Claims
Pursuant to the Plan, there was no requirement for creditors to file proofs of claim, and all allowed general unsecured claims are required to be paid in full in the ordinary course of business following the Company's emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases.
The Debtors received approximately 70 proofs of claims, primarily representing general unsecured claims, for an amount of approximately $7.5 million. These claims were reconciled to amounts recorded in the Company's accounting records. Differences in amounts recorded and claims filed by creditors were investigated and resolved, including through the filing of objections with the Bankruptcy Court, where appropriate. The Company was able to ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow claims that the Company believed were duplicative, were later amended or superseded, were without merit, were overstated or should be disallowed for other reasons. Upon the Effective Date, all proofs of claim were deemed withdrawn and expunged pursuant to the Plan.
Reorganization Items, Net
The Debtors have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with the reorganization, primarily professional fees and the write-off of original issue discount and deferred debt issuance costs on debt subject to compromise. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as reorganization items, net within the Company's accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 28, 2025. Refer to Note 6, “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases.”
Financial Statement Classification of Liabilities Subject to Compromise
The accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2025 includes amounts classified as liabilities subject to compromise, which represent liabilities allowed as claims in the Chapter 11 Cases by the Bankruptcy Court. These amounts represent the Debtors’ current estimate of known or potential obligations to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and may differ from actual future settlement amounts paid. Differences between liabilities estimated and claims filed will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. The Company evaluated and adjusted the amount and classification of its pre-petition liabilities through the Effective Date, as applicable.
Liquidity
As described above and in Note 15, "Subsequent Events" below, as of the Effective Date, the Company emerged from bankruptcy and continues to operate as a viable going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities in the normal course of business for twelve months following the date of this filing. Upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company significantly improved its liquidity position through a comprehensive restructuring of its capital structure. As part of the Plan, the Company issued the new debt and equity described under "Restructuring Support Agreement and Chapter 11 Cases" above, which resulted in a reduction of the total debt by approximately 70% compared to the pre-emergence levels.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.
Segment Information
The Company has one reportable segment representing the entity as a whole, aligning with the Company's organizational structure and with the way the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company.
The CODM uses consolidated net income to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources and assess performance. Net income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, forecasted information and in competitive analysis. The CODM regularly reviews income and expense items at the consolidated company (reporting segment) level and uses net income to evaluate whether and how to reinvest profits into the entity’s operations, shareholder return, acquisitions or otherwise. Further, the CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses (cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative) at the consolidated level to manage the Company’s operations. Other segment items included in consolidated net income are "Restructuring and other expenses", "Interest expense, net of capitalized interest", "Non-operating income, net" and "income tax (benefit) expense". These income and expense items are included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Company's notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The CODM reviews segment assets at the same level or category as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(1): During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined three facilities met the held-for-sale criteria under ASC 360 (as defined below), of which two were sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The assets included in each of the disposal groups were measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
(2): Refer to Note 2, "Discontinued Operations," and Note 8, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies an asset as held for sale when all of the criteria set forth in the ASC Topic 360: Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360") have been met. The criteria are as follows: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. At the time the Company classifies a property as held for sale, the Company ceases recording depreciation and amortization. A property classified as held for sale is measured and reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less cost to sell.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company recorded $19.3 million in assets held for sale included within other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The assets held for sale consist of one property including buildings, building improvements and land of idled property located in Durham, North Carolina. The disposal of properties and equipment classified as held for sale does not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results and therefore does not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operation. The sale of the assets is expected to occur within the next six months.
Investment Tax Credit Receivable
The Company is eligible for the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit ("AMIC") in connection with ongoing expansion projects. The AMIC is a refundable federal tax credit provided under Internal Revenue Code Section 48D, which was enacted by the United States CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (the "CHIPS Act"). In fiscal 2025, the Company received $189.1 million in cash tax refunds related to its fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 federal tax filings, inclusive of $2.6 million of interest income. As of September 28, 2025, the Company has recorded a short-term and long-term receivable of $654.0 million and $181.3 million, respectively, and the Company has reduced property and equipment, net by $1,021.8 million as a result of expected proceeds under the AMIC. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") resulted in a $50.7 million increase to the long-term receivable in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, attributable to the increase of the credit to 35% on qualifying assets placed-in-service after December 31, 2025.

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about an entity's income tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding cash taxes paid both in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to require additional disclosures of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments ("ASU 2024-04"), which enhances guidance in ASC Topic 470, "Debt," to improve consistency and relevance in accounting for induced conversions of convertible debt instruments. Specifically, ASU 2024-04 clarifies the criteria for when settlements should be treated as induced conversions, requiring that inducement offers preserve the form and amount of consideration issuable under original conversion terms. ASU 2024-04 is effective for the Company's fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2024-04 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Recently issued ASUs by the FASB, except for the ones mentioned above, are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
