Proposals

On the ballot5

  1. 1

    Election of Directors

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Elect three Class II directors to the Board for terms expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting.

  2. 2

    Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Non-binding, advisory approval (Say-on-Pay) of the compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

    More detail

    This proposal asks shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote approving the compensation paid to the named executive officers as described in the proxy (a standard “say-on-pay” request). Management frames the program as pay-for-performance with a heavy weighting toward at‑risk compensation (annual incentives and long‑term equity awards), and notes the use of both time‑based RSUs and performance‑based RSUs tied to revenue growth and stock price targets. The Board and Compensation Committee recommend the proposal, citing independent compensation consultant input, a peer group comparison, and governance safeguards (independent compensation committee, clawback policy, stock ownership guidelines, no repricing without shareholder approval). From a governance perspective the vote is advisory but materially relevant: a strong affirmative result supports continued executive compensation design, while a weak result would likely prompt the Compensation Committee to engage with investors and revise program features. The Company also disclosed that last year’s say‑on‑pay received strong support (94.6%), which management uses to justify continuing the current approach. Key investor considerations include the mix of pay (high equity weighting), the dilution impact of future equity grants (addressed elsewhere in the proxy), and the link between incentive metrics and company performance (revenue, non‑GAAP gross margin, operating expenses and product milestones). The vote does not change pay immediately but signals investor tolerance or dissatisfaction; the Committee retains discretion and intends to consider shareholder feedback in future designs. Given the company’s fiscal context—transitional compensation actions in 2025, significant equity awards to preserve cash, and a peer‑group benchmarking process—investors should evaluate whether the disclosed targets, vesting schedules and equity plan capacity appropriately align long‑term shareholder interests with management incentives.

  3. 3

    Approval of Amendment to 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Approve an amendment to the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 17,000,000 shares.

    More detail

    This management proposal requests shareholder approval to increase the 2021 Plan share reserve by 17,000,000 shares to address limited remaining capacity under the existing plan. Management argues the incremental reserve is necessary to continue using equity as a primary retention and incentive tool—particularly given prior decisions to pay annual cash incentives in stock to conserve cash, to support employee equity‑for‑cash elections, and to issue performance and time‑based RSUs to executives. The Board emphasizes that equity awards are central to recruiting and retaining talent in a competitive semiconductor/autotech labor market and are used for acquisitions, earn‑outs and transaction consideration as appropriate. The company discloses current dilution and overhang metrics, explains there is no evergreen provision in the plan, and states that failing to obtain approval would constrain compensation flexibility and likely require increased cash compensation. Investor considerations include the dilution impact (incremental shares relative to outstanding shares and potential future issuance), the company’s historical grant practices (mix of PRSUs and RSUs), burn rate versus peers, and the governance safeguards around grant practices (Compensation Committee oversight, independent consultant). The Board frames the requested increase as temporary and subject to prudent administration (e.g., awards generally tied to performance or multi‑year vesting), but shareholders should weigh this against current share‑based compensation prevalence and the company’s market capitalization. The proposal requires a majority of votes cast to pass; approval would enable the company to continue granting competitive equity awards and executing retention programs, while rejection would force a shift toward cash or constrain equity‑linked acquisitions and retention levers.

  4. 4

    Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

  5. 5

    Other Matters

    Management

    To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

    More detail

    This catch‑all proposal reserves consideration of any additional matters properly presented at the meeting. By design it contains no specific substance; historically such items are procedural (adjournments, ministerial corrections) or unforeseen proposals that the Board and management deem appropriate to bring up. Because the proposal is open‑ended, the practical implications for shareholders depend entirely on what (if anything) is actually presented and whether it requires a shareholder vote or merely Board action. Management’s proxy materials indicate that the named proxies will vote in their discretion on such matters, which places decision authority with the Board’s chosen proxies unless a stockholder brings a competing, well‑timed ad hoc nomination or proposal. Investors should note that broker discretionary voting generally does not extend to non‑routine items, so beneficial owners should ensure they submit voting instructions if they care about unexpected items. From a governance perspective, catch‑all agenda items provide operational flexibility but reduce advance transparency; significant new proposals would typically be disclosed in additional proxy materials or discussed at the meeting. The Board’s recommendation is necessarily absent until specifics are known, and any material proposal introduced under this agenda item would merit separate evaluation by investors.
