Note 1 –Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Standards
Overview
Wolfspeed, Inc. (the "Company") is an innovator of wide bandgap semiconductors, focused on silicon carbide materials and devices for power applications. The Company’s product families include silicon carbide materials and power devices targeted for various applications in the Automotive domains including electric vehicles and fast charging, as well as existing and emerging applications in the Industrial & Energy domain such as AI data centers, grid modernization and renewable energy and storage, as well as aerospace and defense.
Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below) on September 29, 2025, the first day of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (the "Effective Date"), the Company adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting, and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company after the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date.
Due to the lack of comparability with historical consolidated financial statements, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented with a “black line” that separates the Predecessor and Successor periods to emphasize the lack of comparability between amounts presented after the Effective Date and amounts presented for all prior periods.
The Successor’s financial results for future periods following the adoption of fresh start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections related to fresh start accounting, including the fair value adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, no assurances can be provided that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows at September 27, 2026, and for all periods presented, have been made. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet at June 28, 2026 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2026 (the "2026 Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three months ended September 27, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for the entire fiscal year ending June 27, 2027 ("fiscal 2027").
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 27, 2026, compared to the significant accounting policies described in the 2026 Form 10-K.
Chapter 11 Cases
As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wolfspeed Texas LLC ("Wolfspeed Texas," and together with the Company, the “Debtors”), voluntarily filed petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to implement a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). The Chapter 11 Cases were administered jointly under the caption In re Wolfspeed, Inc., et al, case number 25-90163 (CML).
The filings in the Chapter 11 Cases, including the Plan and the Disclosure Statement filed on June 30, 2025, were intended to facilitate a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring pursuant to a Restructuring Support Agreement executed on June 22, 2025, with key stakeholders, including (i) holders of more than 97% of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the "Prior Senior Secured Notes"), (ii) holders of more than 67% of the Company’s outstanding 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026,0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, and 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029, and (iii) Renesas Electronics America Inc. (“Renesas”).
On September 8, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Approving the Disclosure Statement, (II) Confirming Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Wolfspeed, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate, and (III) Approving Entry into the Backstop Agreement (Docket No. 285), which, among other things, confirmed the Plan.
On the Effective Date, the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases as all the material conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective, and after the Effective Date the Company was no longer a debtor-in-possession.
Debtor-In-Possession
During the period between the Petition Date and the Effective Date, the Company applied Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 852: Reorganizations ("ASC 852") in preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements and was a debtor-in-possession.
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 programs and pay all obligations; (viii) honor prepetition obligations to customers and continue customer programs; and (ix) pay prepetition trade claims.
Reorganization Items, Net
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 expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that were realized or incurred during and directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including professional fees, valuation adjustments to allowed claims, gains on liabilities subject to compromise, and fair value adjustments related to the adoption of fresh start accounting were recorded as "Reorganization items, net", within the Company's accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 28, 2025.
Reorganization items incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The table below presents the reorganization items as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases during the periods presented:
| Predecessor | |
|---|---|
| (in millions of U.S. dollars) | Three Months Ended September 28, 2025 |
| Allowed claims adjustments(1) | $475.7 |
| Professional fees | 28.1 |
| Reorganization items, net | $503.8 |
| (1) For the three months ended September 28, 2025, the Plan and related disclosure statement were filed with the Bankruptcy Court, which included, among other things, the estimated allowed claims with respect to outstanding debt obligations. As a result, the unsecured and potentially undersecured debt obligations as of September 28, 2025 were adjusted to equal the expected amount of the allowed claim as detailed in the Plan, resulting in an adjustment of approximately $437.3 million to Liabilities subject to compromise and a corresponding expense recognized within Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, adequate protection payments were $38.4 million and recognized as a reduction to the carrying amount of the Prior Senior Secured Notes. Concurrently, as a result of adjusting to the estimated allowed claim amount for the corresponding debt instruments, a charge was recognized within Reorganization items, net. Please refer to Note 9, "Long-term Debt," for additional information. | |
Fresh Start Accounting
The Company adopted fresh-start accounting upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on the Effective Date. For a complete description of the reorganization and fresh-start adjustments, see Note 3, "Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11," and Note 4, "Fresh Start Accounting," to the audited financial statements included in the 2026 Form 10-K.
Liquidity
As described above, as of the Effective Date, the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases 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 in Note 9, "Long-term Debt," which resulted in a reduction of the total debt by approximately 70% compared to the pre-emergence levels. The Company had $995.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of September 27, 2026; under the terms of the New Senior Secured Notes (as defined below), the Company is required to have a minimum cash balance of $350.0 million as of the last day of any calendar month.
The Company has assessed the impact of the current demand environment for its products and its cost structure on the Company's liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. Based on such evaluation, the Company has concluded that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its future cash needs with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and cash flows from operations for at least one year after the issuance date of the financial statements, as the restructuring of its debt significantly reduced the amount of outstanding debt and ongoing interest payments, and the restructuring of its operations has further optimized its cost structure.
Segment Information
The Company hasone 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, stockholder 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", "Non-operating income, net" and "Income tax 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.

While management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm the Company’s financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies may be sought, an injunction prohibiting the Company from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways. Were unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and overall trends. The outcomes in these matters are not reasonably estimable.
On November 15, 2024, the Company and certain of its former executive officers were named as defendants (“Defendants”) in a securities class action lawsuit captioned Gary Zagami v Wolfspeed, Inc., et al., Case No. 6:24-cv-01395, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York. The complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and/or misleading statements between August 16, 2023 and November 6, 2024 in connection with the operational status, profitability, and growth potential of the Mohawk Valley fabrication facility, among other things. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages and other relief. On January 8, 2025 and January 13, 2025, respectively, stockholders filedtwo additional lawsuits regarding the same matters and against the same Defendants—Maizner v. Wolfspeed, Inc., et al. (No. 6:25-cv-00046) and Ferreira v. Wolfspeed, Inc., et al. (No. 6:25-CV-00062)—in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York, which consolidated the Zagami, Maizner, and Ferreira actions and appointed co-lead plaintiffs and co-lead counsel on February 24, 2025. Co-lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 5, 2025. The action was subsequently transferred from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York to the Middle District of North Carolina. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on February 20, 2026. Briefing concluded on June 5, 2026, and the court held oral arguments on July 20, 2026. On August 12, 2026, the District Judge granted Defendants' motion to dismiss without prejudice and entered judgment dismissing the amended complaint in its entirety. On September 11, 2026, co-lead plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the district court's August 12, 2026 judgment. On October 14, 2026, Defendants filed a motion for extension of the briefing schedule, which was granted. The plaintiffs' opening brief will be due on December 9, 2026 with Defendants' response due February 8, 2027.
The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in the above-referenced class action.
The Company is also pursuing claims for damages arising from alleged patent infringement, including the case described below.
The Company filed a complaint for patent infringement against Navitas Semiconductor Corp., Navitas Semiconductor Ireland, LLC, GeneSic Semiconductor LLC, and Navitas Semiconductor USA, Inc. (collectively, "Navitas") on July 7, 2026 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages for infringement offive U.S. patents owned by the Company (U.S. Patent No. 8,169,005, U.S. Patent No. 10,998,418, U.S. Patent No. 10,886,396, U.S. Patent No. 10,749,443 and U.S. Patent No. 11,888,392) by Navitas' GaN-based FET products and SiC-based products. On August 28, 2026, Navitas filed a motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim. On September 9, 2026, Navitas filed a motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On September 18, 2026, in response to the motion to dismiss, the Company filed an amended complaint, making Navitas' motion to dismiss moot. On September 23, 2026, the Company filed a brief in opposition to Navitas' motion to transfer, and Navitas filed a reply to Wolfspeed’s opposition response on September 30. On October 9, 2026, Navitas again filed a motion to dismiss, and Wolfspeed responded in opposition to the motion to dismiss on October 23, 2026 to which Navitas’ filed a reply on October 30, 2026. On October 16, 2026, Navitas filed three petitions for reexamination in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) seeking the USPTO to reexamine the subject ‘005, ‘396 and ‘392 patents. On October 19, 2026, Navitas filed two petitions for reexamination on the remaining ‘443 and ‘418 patents. On October 27, 2026, Navitas filed a motion to stay the litigation pending the outcomes of the reexaminations. While management believes the claims have merit, the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, no amounts related to potential recoveries have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements
Supply Commitments and Capacity Deposits
From time to time, the Company may enter into agreements with its suppliers which require the Company to commit to a minimum of product purchases or make capacity reservation deposits.
In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a supplier which required a minimum commitment of product purchases on a take-or-pay basis of $200.0 million over the life of the contract. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company entered into a second amendment to the agreement to extend the term of the contract through December 31, 2030, resulting in a minimum contract commitment of $234.4 million. During the three months ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025, the Company purchased $5.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of product under this agreement. As of September 27, 2026, the remaining minimum annual future contract commitments for the remainder of 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 are $8.3 million, $23.2 million, $29.0 million, $36.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively.
In addition, the Company paid quarterly capacity reservation deposits through the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The capacity reservation deposits totaled $60.0 million and are refundable through credits on future product purchases. As of September 27, 2026, the Company has paid the full $60.0 million in connection with the agreement, $36.6 million of which remains in prepaid expenses and other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
In fiscal 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with another supplier which requires a minimum commitment of product purchases on a take-or-pay basis of $86.4 million over the life of the contract. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company amended the agreement to extend the term of the contract through December 2032, resulting in a minimum take-or-pay purchase commitment of $41.4 million due through December 2032. During the three months ended September 27, 2026 and the three months ended September 28, 2025, the Company purchased $4.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of product under this agreement which satisfied the minimum future product purchases for the periods. Minimum future product purchases for the remainder of 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 and thereafter are $6.0 million, $10.8 million, $9.0 million, $5.4 million, $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
The Company is also required to purchase electricity for its facilities in Siler City, North Carolina and Durham, North Carolina under a long-term electricity supply agreement with minimum volume and spend requirements of approximately $53.1 million over the next 3 years and approximately $21.6 million over the next 7 years.
The Company has entered into an agreement with a supplier for equipment that has not yet been delivered or accepted by the Company. While the Company has not accepted delivery of the equipment and, therefore, the arrangement has not commenced as a lease under ASC 842, the Company is contractually obligated to make monthly payments of $0.2 million for the next 178 months.
The Company reviews the terms of all its long-term supply agreements and assesses the need for any accruals for estimated losses on adverse purchase commitments, such as lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments that will not be recovered by future sales prices and the recoverability of assets related to capacity deposits, as necessary.

The 2L Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The 2L Convertible Notes will be entitled to customary anti-dilutive measures (including adjustments to the 2L Convertible Notes’ conversion rates), as described in each of the indentures governing the 2L Convertible Notes.
Each of the New 2L Non-Convertible Notes and the New 2L Renesas Convertible Notes are not permitted to be redeemed prior to the date that istwo years following the Effective Date; the New 2L Non-Renesas Convertible Notes are not permitted to be redeemed prior to the date that isthree years following the Effective Date. In the event of an optional redemption by the Company, holders will be entitled to a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such note redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (any such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”).
The Company is required to offer to repurchase the 2L Notes upon a change of control and, in the case of (i) the 2L Convertible Notes, at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such note repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) the New 2L Non-Convertible Notes, at a cash repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such note repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Following the Conversion Expiration Date and upon the occurrence of a change of control, the New 2L Renesas Convertible Notes will be entitled to a cash repurchase price consistent with that of the New 2L Non-Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2L Convertible Notes will be entitled to make-whole adjustments to the respective conversion rates in the event of a change of control or an Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to certain limitations described in the indentures governing the 2L Convertible Notes), holders of the 2L Convertible Notes are permitted to convert their notes (i) in lieu of redemption in the event of an Optional Redemption by the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of a change of control. The Company is also required, subject to the terms of the New Senior Secured Notes and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the indentures governing the 2L Notes, to make an offer to purchase the 2L Notes, on a pro rata basis, upon the occurrence of certain non-ordinary course asset sales and casualty events (subject to certain reinvestment rights described in the 2L Indentures).
The 2L Indentures contain certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default.
The obligations of the Company under the 2L Indentures will be guaranteed by the Company’s material subsidiaries, if any, subject to certain exceptions, and are secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and the guarantors (subject to certain exceptions) that secure the New Senior Secured Notes.

Note 10 –Loss Per Share
The details of the computation of basic and diluted loss per share are as follows:
| Successor | Predecessor | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions of U.S. Dollars, except share data) | Three months ended September 27, 2026 | Three months ended September 28, 2025 |
| Net loss | $(143.8) | $(643.6) |
| Weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic (in thousands) | 55,000 | 156,185 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | (2.61) | (4.12) |
Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the periods presented due to potentially dilutive items being anti-dilutive given the Company's net loss. Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period computation includes shares of common stock to be contractually issued as of the quarter end date and warrants exercisable for little or no consideration in relation to the share price.
For the three months ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025,50.9 million and 0.0 million weighted average shares, respectively, issuable upon conversion of convertible notes, calculated under the if-converted method, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025,4.9 million and 0.0 million weighted average shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025,4.2 million and 3.5 million weighted average shares, respectively, issuable under share-based payment awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
For periods subsequent to the receipt of the Regulatory Approvals (as defined in the Plan), the Company calculated the dilutive impact of the New 2L Renesas Convertible Notes on (loss) earnings per share using the if-converted method, if dilutive. The New 2L Renesas Convertible Notes will be reflected in the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per share using the if-converted method.
Note 11 –Stock-Based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense was classified in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:
| Successor | Predecessor | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions of U.S. Dollars) | Three months ended September 27, 2026 | Three months ended September 28, 2025 |
| Cost of revenue, net | $2.4 | $7.8 |
| Research and development | 1.1 | 2.2 |
| Sales, general and administrative | 6.8 | 3.6 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $10.3 | $13.6 |
Stock-based compensation expense may differ from the impact of stock-based compensation to additional paid in capital due to manufacturing related stock-based compensation capitalized within inventory.
Note 12 –Income Taxes
In general, the variation between the Company's effective income tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and projected income for the full year derived from international locations with differing tax rates than the U.S.
As discussed in Note 3, "Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11," to the audited financial statements included in the 2026 Form 10-K, the implementation of the Plan resulted in the discharge of indebtedness which gave rise to approximately $3.4 billion of cancellation of debt ("COD") income for U.S. federal income tax purposes which was excluded from taxable income. The exclusion from taxable income under Section 108 of the Code resulted in the Company reducing its gross net operating loss by $3.4 billion. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Plan did not result in the close of the Company's tax year. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the reduction was first applied to the fiscal 2026 tax year loss, which includes both Predecessor and Successor periods, and then to the earliest available net operating loss. While for U.S. GAAP purposes the implementation of the Plan resulted in fair market value adjustments to the Company's basis in assets, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the adjustments were limited to the reductions to tax attributes pursuant to Section 108 discussed above. As a result, the fresh start adjustments, discussed in Note 4, "Fresh Start Accounting," in the 2026 Form 10-K generally resulted in an increase to the Company’s deferred tax assets, offset by a change in valuation allowance.
During the fiscal year ended June 28, 2026, as part of the restructuring under the Plan, the Company experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code (“Section 382”). As a result, the Company’s ability to utilize its U.S. federal net operating losses ("NOLs") and certain other tax attributes arising before the ownership change is subject to annual limitations.
The Company has analyzed the effect of this ownership change and expects that certain tax credit carryforwards and state net operating losses may expire unused. Future changes in the Company’s stock ownership, including those that may be outside the Company’s control, could result in additional ownership changes under Section 382, which may further limit the Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs and other tax attributes.
The Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets by jurisdiction. As of September 27, 2026, the Company has concluded that it is necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets. The reductions in NOL carryforwards as a result of COD income discussed above are offset by a corresponding decrease to the Company's valuation allowance as of September 27, 2026.
Note 13 -Restructuring
2025 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company initiated a headcount reduction and facility closure and consolidation plan intended to optimize its cost structure as the Company accelerated its transition from 150mm to 200mm silicon carbide devices (the "2025 Restructuring Plan"). The 2025 Restructuring Plan resulted in a cumulative total headcount reduction of approximately 28%. The Company's 150mm device fabrication facility in North Carolina ceased production in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
The Company incurred approximately $457 million of total restructuring and related costs, including approximately $73 million of involuntary and voluntary severance costs, $124 million of other closure-related cash costs, and approximately $260 million of charges related to long-lived assets and other non-cash costs, including accelerated depreciation and impairments upon abandonment or disposal of machinery and equipment.
A summary of the charges recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations through the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026, respectively, resulting from these restructuring activities is shown below:

2026 Restructuring Plans
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company implemented and substantially completed a headcount reduction of approximately 8%, to better align with business needs as a result of the transition of Wolfspeed's internal chip manufacturing to 200mm and reduced demand for 150mm substrates. The severance and benefit costs related to this initiative were recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 in accordance with the provisions of ASC 712-10, "Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits". No further charges are expected.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company approved a restructuring plan designed to further optimize its organizational structure with current business needs. The Company recorded severance and related benefit costs in accordance with the provisions of ASC 712-10, "Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits". During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company substantially completed the planned workforce reduction, which affected approximately 6% of the employee population. The Company incurred approximately $4 million of total restructuring costs related to involuntary severance costs.

Note 14 -Subsequent Events
Commitment Letter with the U.S. Department of War
On October 7, 2026, the Company entered into a conditional commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with the U.S. Department of War (the “DoW”), acting by and through its Office of Strategic Capital (the “OSC”), contemplating a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.5 billion (the “Facility”), consisting of up tofour tranches in the amount of $600 million for the initial tranche and $900 million for the remaining tranches, ranging from $200 million to $400 million. While subject to due diligence and the negotiation of definitive agreements ("Definitive Agreements"), among other conditions, the Facility is currently expected to have a 30-year maturity and a 36-month commitment period during which we can draw on the various tranches (should the significant conditions, which shall be finalized in the definitive transaction documentation, for such draws be met). Proceeds of the Facility would be used (a) on the closing date with the proceeds of the initial tranche, to refinance in full our outstanding New Senior Secured Notes and to pay transaction fees and expenses, subject to us entering into an undertaking by us to complete (i) the buildout of domestic silicon carbide (“SiC”) wafer and power device production, (ii) the establishment of domestic low voltage and/or high voltage gallium nitride (“GaN”) production, or the onshoring of GaN production, (iii) the investment in GaN-on-SiC radio frequency epitaxial wafer technology, and (iv) the development of domestic radiation hardening capabilities on terms to be agreed (collectively, the “Project” and the Company’s undertaking to complete the Project, the “Project Undertaking”) and (b) thereafter with the proceeds of the remaining tranches, to fund other expenditures in furtherance of the Project. The transactions contemplated by the Commitment Letter are referred to collectively as the “Expected U.S. Government Transaction.” The funding of each tranche is expected to be subject to further conditions, including the Company’s contribution of qualifying sources of capital received after June 28, 2026 in an aggregate amount of at least $750 million (the “Minimum Contribution”). As an additional condition to entry into the Definitive Agreements, the Company would be required to issue warrants to the DoW, pro rata as and when each tranche is funded, to purchase 5% and 2.5% of its outstanding equity, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, with exercise prices based on a mutually agreed volume-weighted average price of its common stock.
No assurances can be made that we will successfully negotiate and enter into Definitive Agreements or obtain funding in the Expected U.S. Government Transaction with the DoW or the OSC, or that the Expected U.S. Government Transaction with the DoW or the OSC will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated, or at all. The execution of the Definitive Agreements and consummation of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction are subject to substantial due diligence and numerous conditions, and subject to negotiation and finalization of agreements, significant closing conditions, governmental authorizations and approvals, appropriations and required third party-consents.
2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on October 27, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2026 ESPP”). The 2026 ESPP was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 25, 2026, subject to stockholder approval. The 2026 ESPP provides eligible employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries with the opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, and 1,700,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2026 ESPP, subject to adjustment. Employees generally become eligible to participate in the 2026 ESPP after 30 continuous days of employment. Participants may contribute up to 15% of their compensation (as defined in the 2026 ESPP) and purchase shares at 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first day of the participation period or on the purchase date, whichever is lower, subject to a default limit of 25,000 shares per purchase date and the other limits set forth in the 2026 ESPP. The 2026 ESPP will continue in effect until terminated.
