SYNA Synaptics Incorporated

Synaptics® Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) today announced that on February 17, 2025, it will grant restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards to new employees who joined Synaptics in connection with the previously announced asset purchase transaction between Synaptics and Broadcom Inc. which closed on January 30, 2025. Pursuant to that transaction, Synaptics also entered into a licensing agreement with Broadcom that includes Broadcom’s Wi-Fi® 8, ultra-wideband, Wi-Fi 7, advanced Bluetooth®, and next-generation GPS/GNSS products and technology for the IoT and Android™ ecosystem, further accelerating Synaptics’ Edge AI strategy.

“We are excited to welcome our new team members to Synaptics and look forward to building a bright and successful future together,” said Venkat Kodavati, SVP Wireless Products Group.

The RSU awards will be granted to these 104 newly hired non-executive employees under Synaptics’ 2025 Inducement Equity Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The aggregate number of RSUs awarded will be 1,006,506 and are being made as a substitution of Broadcom equity awards and are being granted as a material inducement to the employees’ acceptance of employment with Synaptics. The Plan and the RSU awards were approved by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.

Fifty percent of the RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining fifty percent will vest quarterly thereafter until fully vested on the second anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employees’ continued service with the Company through the relevant vesting dates. The RSU awards also are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the inducement award agreement covering the RSU awards.
