Current report

As previously announced, the Amended Merger Agreement was entered into following Synaptics’ receipt of an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal from Cirrus Logic, Inc. Synaptics could in the future receive additional unsolicited acquisition proposals from third parties, and there can be no assurance as to how Synaptics, onsemi, any such third party or other parties may respond to any such proposals. As a result, it is possible that the Amended Merger Agreement could be terminated or revised in certain related circumstances.

Current report

We intend to incur additional indebtedness to finance a portion of the consideration for the proposed transaction with Synaptics, which will materially increase the amount of our outstanding long-term indebtedness and could subject us to additional risks. In connection with the Amended Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter on October 1, 2026 with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. ("MSSF"), which was subsequently amended and restated to add JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and other banks as commitment parties thereto (collectively and together with MSSF, the "Financing Parties"), pursuant to which the Financing Parties have agreed to provide, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, up to $2,450,000,000 of senior secured term loan facilities for the purpose of funding a portion of the Merger Consideration, and paying fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Merger.
Removed paragraphs (3)

Previous report

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.

Previous report

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of our business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the Merger and could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions. Although we may be able to pursue such activities with Synaptics’s consent (and Synaptics is required not to unreasonably withhold such consent), there is no guarantee that Synaptics will provide us with the necessary consent. In addition, repurchases of our common stock during the pendency of the Merger may be subject to restrictions under applicable law. As a result, we may determine or be required to suspend or limit repurchases under our New Share Repurchase Program during the pendency of the Merger. These limitations may prevent us from repurchasing shares of our common stock at times or prices that we would otherwise consider attractive.

Reworded paragraphs (8)

Previous wording

On June 25, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Synaptics, pursuant to which Synaptics will become a wholly owned subsidiary of onsemi. Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the shares of Synaptics common stock outstanding and entitled to vote (the “Required Synaptics Stockholder Vote”), (2) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, and the approval of the Merger under certain other antitrust and foreign investment regimes, (3) the absence of any order, injunction or law of certain jurisdictions prohibiting the Merger, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to which shares of onsemi common stock to be issued in the Merger will be registered with the SEC, (5) the approval for listing on Nasdaq of shares of onsemi common stock to be issued in the Merger, (6) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, (7) compliance in all material respects with the other party’s covenants and other obligations under the Merger Agreement, (8) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to each of onsemi and Synaptics, and (9) the receipt by each party of customary closing tax opinions regarding the intended tax treatment of the Merger. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be completed in the expected timeframe (mid-2027), or at all. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger, including obtaining all required or necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, and cooperating to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to complete the Merger.

Previous wording

Various consents, clearances, approvals, authorizations and declarations of non-objection, or expiration of waiting periods (or extensions thereof), from certain regulatory and governmental authorities in the United States and certain other jurisdictions are included in the Merger Agreement as conditions to completing the proposed Merger. Regulatory and governmental entities may impose conditions on their respective approvals, in which case lengthy negotiations may ensue among such regulatory or governmental entities, the Company and Synaptics. Such conditions, any such negotiations and the process of obtaining such regulatory approvals, consents or clearances, including any potential changes to the terms of the Merger, could have the effect of delaying or preventing consummation of the proposed Merger.

Previous wording

The anticipated benefits we expect from the Merger are based on projections and assumptions regarding Synaptics and our combined company’s future performance, which may not materialize as expected or which may prove to be inaccurate. In addition, Synaptics’ business may not perform as expected during the pendency of the Merger due to, among other factors, restrictions on Synaptics’ interim operations under the Merger Agreement, challenges in retaining and attracting key employees, and uncertainty in its relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and other business counterparties. Any such developments could adversely affect the business and financial performance of the combined company and reduce or delay the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

Synaptics has experienced and may continue to experience departures of key employees during the pendency of the Merger. Any such developments could adversely affect the business and financial performance of the combined company and reduce or delay the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

Previous wording

The treatment of Synaptics’ indebtedness in connection with the Merger may involve repayment or assumption by us of substantial indebtedness, which could reduce our flexibility to operate our business and negatively affect our financial condition, and could result in dilution to our stockholders.

Current wording

The treatment of Synaptics’ indebtedness in connection with the Merger may involve repayment by us of substantial indebtedness, which could reduce our flexibility to operate our business and negatively affect our financial condition.

Previous wording

Synaptics has outstanding 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Synaptics Senior Notes”). At our request and at our sole cost and expense, Synaptics must use reasonable best efforts to exercise its right to redeem, discharge, defease, or make an offer to repurchase the Synaptics Senior Notes in accordance with their terms, with any such redemption, discharge, defeasance, or repurchase to be effective at the effective time of the Merger or such later time as we may request. In connection with the Merger, we currently intend to cause Synaptics to redeem and/or discharge the Synaptics Senior Notes. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires Synaptics to use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to us an executed payoff letter with respect to Synaptics’ existing $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, together with all related lien release documentation necessary to effect the release of any liens related to such facility.

Previous wording

In addition, Synaptics has outstanding 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Synaptics Convertible Notes”). Following completion of the Merger, the Synaptics Convertible Notes will, pursuant to a supplemental indenture, become convertible into shares of our common stock rather than shares of Synaptics common stock. As a result, any future conversion of the Synaptics Convertible Notes may, depending on the settlement method, result in the issuance of a significant number of additional shares of our common stock, which may only be partially offset by the capped call transactions entered into by Synaptics concurrently with the issuance of the Synaptics Convertible Notes. Any such issuances of shares of our common stock would dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

Current wording

In addition, Synaptics has outstanding 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Synaptics Convertible Notes"). Following completion of the Merger, the Synaptics Convertible Notes will, pursuant to a supplemental indenture, become convertible into cash rather than shares of Synaptics common stock. As the Merger will constitute a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" under, and as defined in, the indenture governing the Synaptics Convertible Notes (the "Synaptics Convertible Notes Indenture"), holders of the Synaptics Convertible Notes will be able to convert their Synaptics Convertible Notes during a window after the closing date of the Merger and receive additional cash conversion consideration based on the make-whole table contained in the Synaptics Convertible Notes Indenture. Any conversions of the Synaptics Convertible Notes will result in cash payments to the holders thereof, which will only be partially offset by the capped call transactions entered into by Synaptics concurrently with the issuance of the Synaptics Convertible Notes. The repayment, redemption and/or discharge of Synaptics’ existing indebtedness could have material and adverse effects on our business, operating results and financial condition, including, among other things:
