Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. In our opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts for prior years in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in June. Our fiscal 2025 is a 52-week period ending June 28, 2025, and our fiscal 2024 was a 53-week period ending on June 29, 2024. The fiscal periods presented in this report are 13-week periods and 26-week periods for the three and six months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. For simplicity, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been shown as ending on calendar quarter end dates as of and for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those estimates related to revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, cost of revenue, inventories, loss on purchase commitments, product warranty, accrued liabilities, share-based compensation costs, provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowance, uncertain tax positions, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, current period developments, applicable laws and regulations, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Convertible Senior Notes

We account for our convertible senior notes with embedded conversion features in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which removes from GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with either cash or beneficial conversion features. As a result, convertible debt instruments would only be separated into multiple components if they were issued at a substantial premium or if embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation were identified. The convertible senior notes (the "2031 Notes") were not issued at a substantial premium, and we analyzed the provisions of the notes and did not identify any material embedded features which would require bifurcation from the host debt. As such, the 2031 Notes are accounted for entirely as a liability, net of unamortized issuance costs. The carrying amount of the liability is classified as long-term as the instrument does not mature within one year of the balance sheet date and the holder is not permitted to demand repayment of the principal within one year of the balance sheet date. However, if conditions to convertibility are met and holders are expected to convert within one year as described further in Note 12, we may be required to reclassify the carrying amount of the liability to current. The embedded conversion features are not remeasured as long as they do not meet the separation requirement of a derivative. Issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This guidance requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending June 2025 and our interim periods within the fiscal year ending June 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This guidance requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disclosures of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending June 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This guidance requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending June 2028 and our interim periods within the fiscal year ending June 2029. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB, issued ASU 2024-04, "Debt - Debt with Conversions and Other Options." This guidance is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending June 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

  1. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Most of our revenue, except an inconsequential amount, is recognized at a point in time, either on shipment or delivery of the product, depending on customer terms and conditions.

Rights to our intellectual property, or IP, are either sold or licensed to customers. Revenue recognition from the licensing of our IP is dependent on the nature and terms of each agreement. We recognize revenue from the licensing of our IP upon delivery of the IP if there are no substantive future obligations to perform under the arrangement. Sales-based or usage-based royalties from the license of IP are recognized at the later of the period the sale or usage occurs, or the satisfaction of the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalties have been allocated.

Our accounts receivable balance is from contracts with customers and represents our unconditional right to receive consideration from customers. To date, there have beenno material credit loss charges recorded on accounts receivable. As of December 2024 and June 2024, contract assets recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $1.2 million. Contract assets are presented as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Contract liabilities and refund liabilities were $8.8 million and $45.0 million, respectively, as of December 2024, and $14.7 million and $43.5 million, respectively, as of June 2024. Both contract liabilities and refund liabilities are presented as customer obligations in Note 10. Balance Sheet Components. During the three months ended December 2024 and December 2023, we recognized $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in revenue related to contract liabilities, which was outstanding as of the beginning of each fiscal quarter. During the six months ended December 2024 and December 2023, we recognized $13.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in revenue related to contract liabilities, which was outstanding as of the beginning of each fiscal quarter.

Revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by geographic area based on customer location and product category is presented in Note 15. Segment, Customers, and Geographical Information.

  1. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share was as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended

Net income (loss) per share:
Basic$0.05$(0.23)$(0.54)$(1.66)
Diluted$0.05$(0.23)$(0.54)$(1.66)

Our basic net income (loss) per share amounts for each period presented have been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, or the common stock, outstanding over the period measured. Our diluted net income (loss) per share amounts for each period presented include the weighted average effect of potentially dilutive shares. We use the "treasury stock" method to determine the dilutive effect of our stock options, restricted stock units, or RSUs, market stock units, or MSUs, and performance stock units, or PSUs. Upon any conversion of our convertible notes, we will be required to pay cash in an amount at least equal to the principal portion and have the option to settle any amount in excess of the principal portion in cash and/or ordinary shares. As a result, only the amounts expected to be settled in excess of the principal portion are considered in calculating diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares whose effect would have been antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

  1. Prepayment of Intangible Assets

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we paid an aggregate consideration of $130.0 million to Avago Technologies, or Broadcom, to license four developed technology products and to extend the exclusivity period of certain developed technologies that were previously licensed from Broadcom in July 2020. As of December 2024, we have obtained control ofthree of thefour technology products and thethree-year extension period to exclusively license previously acquired developed technology intangible assets. The fair value of the remaining technology product of$42.5 million for which we have not yet obtained control is an advance payment on intangible assets and is presented within other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

  1. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value and consisted of the following (in millions):

DecemberJune
20242024
Raw materials and work-in-progress$66.4$69.5
Finished goods53.144.5
Inventories$119.5$114.0

Inventories are recorded at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis. We record a write-down, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value. The effect of such a write-down is to establish a new cost basis in the related inventory, which we do not subsequently write up. We also record a liability and charge to cost of revenue for estimated losses on inventory we are obligated to purchase from our contract manufacturers when such losses become probable from customer delays, order cancellations, or other factors. The following factors influence our estimates: changes to or cancellations of customer orders, unexpected or sudden decline in demand, rapid product improvements, technological advances, and termination or changes by our original equipment manufacturers, or OEM, customers of any product offerings incorporating our product solutions.

  1. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents by category at December 2024 and June 2024 (in millions):

Total cash and cash equivalents$596.1$—$596.1$876.9$—$876.9
  1. Fair Value Measurements

We determine fair value based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

Our Level 1 financial instruments are traded in active markets, and the fair value is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments. The fair value of our Level 2 fixed income securities is obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market data. Our marketable securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various asset price models.

At December 2024 and June 2024, financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):

(1)Excludes $518.1 million and $238.4 million in cash held in our bank accounts as of December 2024 and June 2024, respectively. We did not have any financial assets requiring Level 3 measurement in the periods presented.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We report our financial instruments at fair value with the exception of the Senior Notes, Term Loan Facility and the Convertible Senior Notes, or collectively the Notes, as defined in Note 12. Debt. The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined based on the trading prices of the Notes as of the last day of trading for the periods presented. We use Level 2 measurement criteria to determine the fair value of our Notes as they are not actively traded in markets.

  1. Leases

Our leases primarily include our worldwide office and research and development facilities which are all classified as operating leases. Certain leases include renewal options at our discretion. The leases expire at various dates through fiscal 2034, some of which include options to extend the lease for up toseven years. For the three months ended December 2024 and December 2023, we recorded operating lease expense of approximately $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 2024 and December 2023, we recorded operating lease expense of approximately $6.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Our short-term leases are immaterial and we do not have finance leases.

  1. Indemnifications and Contingencies

Indemnifications

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors. In addition, in connection with certain agreements, we are obligated to indemnify the counterparty against third party claims alleging infringement of certain intellectual property rights by us. Maximum potential future payments under these agreements cannot be estimated because these agreements generally do not have a maximum stated liability. Historical costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant. However, we will accrue for any losses related to these indemnification agreements when it is both probable that we will incur the loss and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. During the six months ended December 2024, we recorded an estimated liability of $2.2 million related to our proportionate share of an indemnity obligation to defend a counterparty against a third party claim alleging infringement of certain intellectual property rights.

Contingencies

We have in the past, and may in the future, receive notices from third parties that claim our products infringe their intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our technologies and products do not, and will not, infringe issued patents or other proprietary rights of third parties.

Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could result in significant litigation costs and diversion of management and financial resources, including the payment of damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While we currently believe that resolving claims against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future. We accrue for loss contingencies when it is both probable that we will incur the loss and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss.

  1. Debt

Senior Notes

On March 11, 2021, we completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.0% senior notes due 2029, or the Senior Notes, in a private offering. The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 11, 2021, or the Indenture, by and among our company, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

The Indenture provides that the Senior Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on December 15 and June 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2021. The Senior Notes will mature on June 15, 2029 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of our current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities.

On or after June 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices specified below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date:

YearPrice
2024102%
2025101%
2026 and thereafter100%

The Senior Notes are the general unsecured obligations of our company. The Senior Note guarantees are the senior unsecured obligations of each guarantor. Under certain circumstances, the guarantors may be released from their Senior Note guarantees without consent of the holders of Senior Notes. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank contractually senior in right of payment to our and the guarantors’ future indebtedness and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including secured indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Senior Notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes.

The Indenture contains covenants that, subject to exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to (i) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our company’s or any parent’s capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (iv) issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; (v) make loans and investments; (vi) dispose of assets; (vii) incur liens; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (ix) enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and (x) consolidate, merge or sell all, or substantially all, of its assets.

The Indenture contains customary events of default including, without limitation, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, cross-acceleration to certain other indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the Indenture will allow either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of, the maturity of the principal, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 21, 2024, we entered into a Fourth Amendment and Lender Joinder Agreement, or the Fourth Amendment, to our existing Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, or the Credit Agreement, with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent, or the Administrative Agent, dated as of March 11, 2021.

The Fourth Amendment extends the maturity date to be the earlier of (i) November 21, 2029 and (ii) ninety one (91) days prior to any maturity of the Senior Notes. Clause (ii) will not apply if we have Liquidity (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) in an amount of at least $100.0 million in excess of the amount that would be required to be paid on such date. The Fourth Amendment is arranged by a syndicate of financial institutions and, among other things, increases the revolving commitments from $250.0 million to $350.0 million. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment includes a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment we may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, request increases in the revolving credit facility commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $170.0 million to the extent existing or new lenders agree to provide such increased or additional commitments, as applicable. Future proceeds under the revolving credit facility are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of December 2024, there wasno balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Debt issuance costs relating to the revolving credit facility of $2.0 million, included in non-current other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, are being amortized over 60 months. The amortization of debt issuance costs on the revolving credit facility was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 2024 and December 2023, respectively.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material domestic subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, who collectively with the Company are referred to as the Credit Parties. The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other loan documents delivered in connection therewith are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Credit Parties, including, without limitation,65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of certain of the Credit Parties’ direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement bears interest, at our election, of a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin or Adjusted Term SOFR, as defined in the Second Amendment, plus an Applicable Margin. Swingline loans bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Base Rate is a floating rate that is the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, or Adjusted Term SOFR plus 100 basis points. The Applicable Margin is based on a sliding scale which ranges from 25 to 100 basis points for Base Rate loans and 100 basis points to 175 basis points for Adjusted Term SOFR loans. We are required to pay a commitment fee on any unused commitments under the Credit Agreement which is determined on a leverage-based sliding scale ranging from 0.175% to 0.25% per annum. Interest and fees are payable on a quarterly basis.

Under the Credit Agreement, there are various restrictive covenants, including two financial covenants which limit the consolidated total net leverage ratio, or net leverage ratio, the consolidated net interest coverage ratio, or net interest coverage ratio. The net leverage ratio is the ratio of net debt as of the measurement date to Consolidated EBITDA, for the four consecutive quarters ending with the quarter of measurement. The current net leverage ratio shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 provided that for the four fiscal quarters ending after the date of a material acquisition, such maximum leverage ratio shall be adjusted to 4.75 to 1.00, and thereafter 3.75 to 1.0. The net interest coverage ratio is Consolidated EBITDA to interest expense for the four consecutive quarters ending with the quarter of measurement net of total cash interest income. The current net interest coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.75 to 1.0, provided that such net interest coverage ratio shall be 3.0 to 1.0 starting with the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending after the 18 month anniversary of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, or May 21, 2026, and thereafter. As of December 2024, we remain in compliance with the restrictive covenants.

On November 19, 2024 and November 26, 2024, we issued and sold $400.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031, or the 2031 Notes, in a private placement. The 2031 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated November 19, 2024, by and among us, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, or the 2031 Indenture. The 2031 Notes are unsecured, bear interest at a fixed rate of 0.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2025 and mature on December 1, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us.

The net proceeds from the 2031 Notes were approximately $435.6 million after deducting the debt issuance costs and our estimated offering expenses. We used approximately (i) $67.0 million to repurchase shares of our common stock with which we repurchased 890,484 shares at $75.24 a share, the stock price on November 14, 2024, the date of the offering memorandum, and (ii) $49.9 million to pay the cost of the capped call transactions (as described below). Additionally, the remainder of the net proceeds, together with our cash on hand, were used to repay the outstanding balance of our Term Loan Facility.

The initial conversion rate of the 2031 Notes is 10.0308 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $99.69 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2031 Indenture. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2031 Indenture) or if we deliver a Redemption Notice (as defined in the 2031 Indenture), we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock as described in the 2031 Indenture for a holder who elects to convert its 2031 Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or to convert its 2031 Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the 2031 Indenture) for redemption in connection with such Redemption Notice, as the case may be.

At any time from, and including, September 2, 2031, the 2031 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders thereof only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the first calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during thefive consecutive business days after anyten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the "measurement period") in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2031 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) if we call such 2031 Notes for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on our common stock, (as defined in the 2031 Indenture). As of December 28, 2024, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2031 Notes to convert had been met. On or after September 2, 2031 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2031 Notes, holders of the 2031 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2031 Notes, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the 2031 Notes will be settled in cash, shares of the our common stock based on the conversion rate (as defined in the 2031 Indenture) or any combination thereof, at our election.

The 2031 Notes are redeemable, at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 6, 2028. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2031 Notes (subject to the limitation described below), at our option, on or after December 6, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before December 1, 2031 at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if (i) the notes are Freely Tradable (as defined in 2031 Indenture) as of the date we send the related redemption notice and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full as of the most recent interest payment date occurring on or before the date we send such notice; and (ii) the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send such redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send, and after giving effect to, the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the 2031 Notes.

The 2031 Notes will be our senior, unsecured obligations and will be (i) equal in right of payment with our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated 2031 Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2031 Indenture) prior to the maturity date of the 2031 Notes, holders of the 2031 Notes may require us to repurchase their notes for a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the 2031 Indenture).

2031 Capped Calls

In connection with the issuance of the 2031 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions, or, each, a 2031 Capped Call, and, collectively, the 2031 Capped Calls, with certain financial institutions. The 2031 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of $99.69, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2031 convertible senior notes. The 2031 Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $150.48 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2031 Capped Calls are expected to partially offset the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2031 convertible senior notes, with such offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. Each 2031 Capped Call covers, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 4.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2031 Capped Calls are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including merger events, tender offers, and announcement events. In addition, each 2031 Capped Call is subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the 2031 Capped Calls, including nationalization, insolvency or delisting, changes in law, failures to deliver, insolvency filings, and hedging disruptions. For accounting purposes, each 2031 Capped Call is treated as a separate transaction from, and not part of, the terms of the 2031 convertible senior notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the 2031 Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The 2031 Capped Calls will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Term Loan Facility

On December 2, 2021, we entered into that certain First Amendment and Lender Joinder Agreement to the Credit Agreement, to, among other things, establish a new $600.0 million incremental term loan facility, or the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility was advanced by certain existing and new lenders under the Credit Agreement to finance the DSPG acquisition. The Term Loan Facility matures on December 2, 2028. Principal on the Term Loan Facility is payable in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, beginning December 31, 2021, at a rate of 1.00% per annum.

We used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2031 Notes, together with our cash on hand, to repay the outstanding balance under our Term Loan Facility. On November 19, 2024, we paid a total of $583.4 million, which consisted of (i) the remaining outstanding principal balance of $582.0 million and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest of $1.4 million. The repayment of the Term Loan Facility was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The consideration used to extinguish the Term Loan Facility and the carrying value of the Term Loan Facility (including unamortized debt issuance costs) resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $6.5 million included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

  1. Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation Plans

On October 29, 2019, our stockholders approved: (i) our 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2019 Incentive Plan, to replace our Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2010 Incentive Plan, and (ii) our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2019 ESPP, to replace our Amended and Restated 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Awards outstanding at October 29, 2019 under our prior share-based compensation plans were not impacted by the approval of the 2019 Incentive Plan and continue to remain outstanding and vest by their terms under the applicable share-based compensation plan. Shares underlying certain share-based awards forfeited under the 2010 Incentive Plan subsequent to the approval of the 2019 Incentive Plan automatically transfer to and become available for award issuance from the 2019 Incentive Plan.

The 2019 Incentive Plan authorizes our Board of Directors to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, cash incentive awards, performance shares, PSUs, and other stock-based awards. The 2019 Incentive Plan has been amended and restated, and the cumulative number of shares approved by stockholders is 7,588,000 as of October 29, 2024. The 2019 ESPP authorizes the Company to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the purchase of stock at a discount, with an initial authorization of 1,500,000 shares.

Effective August 19, 2019, we adopted the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan, and 650,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, or other changes in our common stock or capital structure. The 2019 Inducement Equity Plan was intended to comply with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, which provide an exception to the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules on the shareholder approval requirement for the issuance of securities with regards to grants to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries as an inducement material to such individuals entering into employment with the Company or its subsidiaries. An individual was eligible to receive an award under the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan only if he or she was not previously an employee or director of our Company (or is returning to work after a bona-fide period of non-employment), and an award under the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan is a material inducement for him or her to accept employment with our Company. No new awards may be granted under the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan.

Aggregate intrinsic value$1.4
  1. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The provision for income taxes recorded in interim periods is based on our estimate of the annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income before provision for income taxes, adjusted for discrete items required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. In each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate can be subject to volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately forecast annual income before provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

The benefit from income taxes of $27.8 million and $39.0 million for the three and six months ended December 2024, respectively, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended December 2024 diverged from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to two one-time events: 1) a $14.1 million deferred tax benefit driven by a “check-the-box election” for our Israel subsidiary to be treated as a U.S. disregarded entity for federal income tax purpose, and 2) an $8.9 million tax benefit associated with our fiscal 2018 federal one-time deemed repatriation liability under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA, resulting from a recent U.S. Tax Court decision in Varian Medical Systems, Inc. v. Commissioner. The U.S. Tax Court held that a fiscal year taxpayer was entitled to claim a dividend received deduction, or DRD, on certain dividends deemed received during its gap period. The divergence also reflects foreign income taxed at lower rates. These benefits were partially offset by non-deductible officer compensation and non-deductible share-based compensation.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 2023 diverged from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits from the impact of foreign tax credit temporary relief provided by U.S. Treasury Notice 2023-55 and Notice 2023-80 issued in July 2023 and December 2023, respectively, which delayed the effective date of the U.S. final foreign tax credit regulations published in January 2022. It was partially offset by the research and development capitalization rules increasing our global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, foreign income taxed at higher rates, and non-deductible officer compensation.

The total liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions decreased $2.1 million during the six months ended December 2024, to $44.4 million, and was included in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. If recognized, the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would reduce the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 2024 were $3.7 million; this balance increased by $0.1 million compared to June 2024. We classify interest and penalties as components of income tax expense. Any prospective adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as an increase or decrease to income tax expense and cause a corresponding change to our effective tax rate. Accordingly, our effective tax rate could fluctuate materially from period to period.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the United States, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Israel and the United Kingdom. From fiscal 2017 onward, we remain subject to examination by one or more of these jurisdictions.

  1. Restructuring Activities

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we initiated restructuring actions primarily intended to focus on key growth initiatives, reduce costs and align our business in response to market conditions. As a result of this restructuring, we expect to incur approximately $16.0 million in restructuring charges and expect to complete the restructuring by the end of fiscal 2025. For the three and six months ended December 2024, the restructuring costs related to this action were $0.8 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and are recorded in the restructuring costs line item within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we initiated restructuring actions to further improve efficiencies in our operational activities, decrease costs and increase profitability. We completed this restructuring action in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and incurred restructuring charges of $0.5 million. These costs were recorded under the restructuring costs line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the restructuring activity and related charges during the periods presented (in millions):
