Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 18, 2025, Fabrinet (“Fabrinet” or the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for its fiscal quarter and year ended June 27, 2025. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
The information in this Item 2.02 and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Fiscal 2026 Executive Incentive Plan
On August 12, 2025, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the board of directors of Fabrinet adopted an executive incentive plan (the “Cash Bonus Plan”) for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 26, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”). The Cash Bonus Plan is an incentive program designed to motivate participants to achieve the Company’s financial objectives, and to reward them for their achievements when those objectives are met. All of the Company’s executive officers pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are eligible to participate in the Cash Bonus Plan (individually, a “Participant,” and collectively, the “Participants”). The Cash Bonus Plan provides for target and maximum bonus amounts as set forth in the table below. The maximum bonus that a Participant may receive under the Cash Bonus Plan is 120% of such Participant’s target bonus.
| Name | Fiscal 2026 Target Bonus | Fiscal 2026 Maximum Bonus | ||||||||||||
| Seamus Grady | $1,932,000 | $2,318,400 | ||||||||||||
| Dr. Harpal Gill | $1,462,500 | $1,755,000 | ||||||||||||
| Csaba Sverha | THB 24,380,400 | THB 29,256,480 | ||||||||||||
| Edward Archer | $459,000 | $550,800 | ||||||||||||
The amount of bonus actually paid to a Participant under the Cash Bonus Plan will be based 50% on the extent of achievement of a fiscal 2026 revenue metric and 50% on the extent of achievement of a fiscal 2026 non-GAAP operating margin metric. As achievement of each financial metric is considered independently from the other, the Company must meet a threshold for each metric in order for a Participant to receive any credit for that metric. If the Company achieves 100% of a target financial metric, bonuses would be paid out at 100% of the target amount with respect to that financial metric component. If the Company achieves 105% or more of a target financial metric, bonuses would be paid out at 120% of the target amount (which is the maximum) with respect to that financial metric component. Achievement of the revenue or non-GAAP operating margin metric for fiscal 2026 at a level between 100% and 105% of the target metric will result in a bonus amount for the applicable metric that is scaled from 100% to 120% of the target amount in a linear fashion. Achievement of the revenue or non-GAAP operating margin metric for fiscal 2026 at a level between 90% and 100% of the target metric will result in a bonus amount for the applicable metric that is scaled from 20% to 100% of the target amount in a linear fashion.
Fiscal 2026 Salaries
On August 12, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to the annual base salaries of the Company’s
named executive officers set forth below, effective as of June 28, 2026, the first day of fiscal 2026.
| Name | Title | Previous Annual Base Salary | Fiscal 2026 Annual Base Salary | Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Seamus Grady | Chief Executive Officer | $1,350,000 | $1,380,000 | 2.2% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dr. Harpal Gill | President and Chief Operating Officer | $1,100,000 | $1,125,000 | 2.3% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Csaba Sverha | Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer | $625,000(1) | THB 24,380,400 | 5.6%(2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Edward Archer | Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing | $520,000 | $540,000 | 3.8% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Mr. Sverha’s fiscal 2025 salary was paid in his home currency of Thai baht using the Fabrinet Corporate Group USD to THB Exchange Rate, which was the Bank of Thailand’s middle rate (midpoint of the bid and ask rates) as of June 28, 2024, of 36.94 Thai baht to 1.0 U.S. dollar. This resulted in a fiscal 2025 salary for Mr. Sverha of THB 23,087,500.
(2) Percentage increase is based on Mr. Sverha’s previous annual base salary in Thai baht.
Equity Award Grants
On August 12, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the grant, effective as of August 21, 2025 (the “Grant Date”), of the following dollar values of restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”) and “stretch” PSUs (“Stretch PSUs”), rounded up to the nearest whole share, to the Company’s named executive officers as a component of their fiscal 2026 compensation:
| Name | Grant Date Value of RSUs | Grant Date Value of PSUs | Grant Date Value of “Stretch” PSUs | |||||||||||||||||
| Seamus Grady | $3,150,000 | $3,150,000 | $3,150,000 | |||||||||||||||||
| Dr. Harpal Gill | $1,730,000 | $1,730,000 | $1,730,000 | |||||||||||||||||
| Csaba Sverha | $1,040,000 | $1,040,000 | $1,040,000 | |||||||||||||||||
| Edward Archer | $840,000 | $840,000 | $840,000 | |||||||||||||||||
The grants will be made under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The RSUs will be scheduled to vest in equal annual installments over a period of three years on each anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the individual’s continued service with the Company through each such vesting date.
The PSUs will vest, if at all, following a 2-year performance period, on the date the Compensation Committee certifies achievement of the performance criteria set forth below, subject to the individual’s continued service with the Company through such vesting date. Vesting of the PSUs will be based 50% on achievement of a cumulative fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 revenue goal (the “PSU Revenue Target”) and 50% on achievement of a cumulative fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 non-GAAP operating margin goal (the “PSU Operating Margin Target”). As achievement of each financial goal is considered independently from the other, the Company must meet a threshold for each goal in order for an individual to receive any credit for that goal. If the Company achieves 100% or more of a target financial goal, the PSUs will vest as to 100% of the PSUs allocated to that financial goal. Achievement of the PSU Revenue Target or the PSU Operating Margin Target at a level between 90% and 100% will result in a number of shares vesting for the applicable goal that is scaled from 20% to 100% of the PSUs allocated to that goal in a linear fashion.
The Stretch PSUs will vest, if at all, following a 2-year performance period, on the date the Compensation Committee certifies achievement of the performance criteria set forth below, subject to the individual’s continued service with the Company through such vesting date. Vesting of the Stretch PSUs will be based 50% on achievement of a cumulative fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 revenue goal that is 5% higher than the PSU Revenue Target (the “Stretch PSU Revenue Target”) and 50% on achievement of a cumulative fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 non-GAAP operating margin goal that is 5% higher than the PSU Operating Margin Target (the “Stretch PSU Operating Margin Target”). As achievement of each financial goal is considered independently from the other, the Company must meet a threshold for each goal in order for an individual to receive any credit for that goal. The Company must exceed the PSU Revenue Target or the PSU Operating Margin Target in order for any of the Stretch PSUs to vest. If the Company achieves 100% or more of a target financial goal, the Stretch PSUs will vest as to 100% of the PSUs allocated to that financial goal. Achievement of the Stretch PSU Revenue Target at a level between its threshold PSU Revenue Target and 100% will result in a number of shares vesting for that goal that is scaled from 0% to 100% of the PSUs allocated to that goal in a linear fashion. Achievement of the Stretch PSU Operating Margin Target at a level between its threshold PSU Operating Margin Target and 100% will result in a number of shares vesting for that goal that is scaled from 0% to 100% of the PSUs allocated to that goal in a linear fashion.
In the event of a change in control of Fabrinet, the awards of PSUs and Stretch PSUs described above that are then outstanding will be treated as follows. To the extent that the performance period has not yet been completed as of the change in control, (1) the performance period for any Company revenue goals will be shortened to end shortly before the change in control and achievement of revenue will be measured based on goals that are prorated for the shortened performance period, and (2) the performance period for any Company operating margin goals will be deemed to be the last four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company completed before the change in control. Any PSUs for which such applicable goal is deemed achieved will be scheduled to vest subject to the individual’s continued service with Fabrinet through the last date of the award’s original performance period, and will be treated as a time-based award that may be eligible for certain vesting acceleration under Mr. Grady’s Change in Control and Severance Agreement or the Fabrinet Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan, as applicable, upon a qualifying termination during a specified change in control period.
