These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed on May 25, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). No material changes have been made to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2016.

Pending merger with TDK Corporation

The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TDK Corporation, a company organized under the laws of Japan (“TDK Corporation”), and TDK Sensor Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation (“Merger Sub”), dated as of December 21, 2016, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), will be automatically converted into the right to receive $13.00 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), other than certain shares owned by the Company, TDK Corporation and their respective subsidiaries (which shares will be cancelled) and shares held by stockholders who have validly exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law.

At the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding and unexercised vested option to purchase shares of Common Stock that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Merger Consideration (each, a “Vested Option”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option and (b) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Vested Option, (ii) each outstanding and unexercised unvested option to purchase shares of Common Stock that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Merger Consideration (each, an “Unvested Option”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Unvested Option and (b) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Unvested Option, but only if the holder of such Unvested Option satisfies all of the vesting conditions that would have related to the terminated Unvested Option (including continued employment requirements through the applicable dates of vesting), (iii) each outstanding vested restricted stock unit (each, a “Vested RSU”) will be cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested RSU and (b) the Merger Consideration, (iv) each outstanding unvested restricted stock unit (each, an “Unvested RSU”) will be cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive a payment equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Unvested RSU and (b) the Merger Consideration, but only if the holder of such Unvested RSU satisfies all of the vesting conditions that would have related to the terminated Unvested RSU (including continued employment requirements through the applicable dates of vesting), and (v) each outstanding unvested share of restricted Common Stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, but only if the holder of such restricted Common Stock satisfies all of the vesting conditions that would have related to the terminated unvested share of restricted Common Stock. Each Vested Option or Unvested Option with an exercise price per share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without consideration.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company, TDK Corporation and Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries between signing and closing, restrictions on responses by the Company with respect to the receipt of alternative transactions, governmental filings and approvals and other matters.

The Merger Agreement generally prohibits the Company’s solicitation of proposals relating to alternative transactions and restricts the Company’s ability to furnishnon-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party with respect to any alternative transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions that include, among others, approvals from the Company’s stockholders and receipt of required regulatory approval. Under terms specified in the Merger Agreement, the Company or TDK Corporation may terminate the agreement and as a result either the Company or TDK Corporation may be required to pay a $46.7 million termination fee to the other party in certain circumstances.

The Merger Agreement provides for the Merger to be consummated before June 21, 2017, subject to a three-month extension if necessary to obtain certain regulatory approvals.

Following completion of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation, the Company’s common stock will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such, the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016 and incorporated herein by reference.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s directors, executive officers and certain stockholders of the Company, in their capacities as holders of Common Stock or other equity interests of the Company, each entered into a voting agreement with TDK Corporation (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which each agreed, among other things, to vote their Common Stock for the approval of the Merger Agreement and against any alternative proposal, and to comply with certain restrictions on the disposition of their Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreements will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Effective Time, (c) the end date specified in the Merger Agreement and (d) such time as the Merger Agreement is amended to change the form or reduce the amount of the Merger Consideration. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreements, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016 and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into retention agreements with certain of its executive officers that provide for the payment of retention bonuses contingent upon the closing of the Merger and continued employment as set forth in such agreements. The foregoing description of the letter agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q and incorporated herein by reference. The Company has also entered into retention agreements providing for a retention bonus with certain other officers who are not named executive officers.

The Company recorded transaction-related costs of $3.0 million, principally for outside financial advisory, legal, and related fees and expenses associated with the pending acquisition, in the quarter ended January 1, 2017. Additional transaction-related costs are expected to be incurred through the closing of the Merger.

The pending acquisition of the Company by TDK Corporation does not impact the basis of presentation in the accompanying financial statements.

Certain significant business risks and uncertainties

The Company participates in the high-technology industry and believes that a number of factors including, but not limited to the following could have a material effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: the impact of the proposed Merger; reliance on a limited number of primary customers to support the Company’s revenue generating activities; changes inend-user demand for the products manufactured and sold by the Company and its customers; the receipt, reduction, cancellation or delay of significant orders by customers; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; new product announcements and introductions by the Company’s competitors; the general cyclicality and seasonality of the semiconductor and consumer electronics industries and the resulting effect on the Company’s business; market acceptance of the Company’s and its customers’ products; the Company’s development and introduction of new products on a timely basis; developing new sales channels and attracting new customers; significant warranty claims, including those not covered by the Company’s suppliers; delays in the Company’s customers’ ability to manufacture and ship products that incorporate the Company’s products caused by internal and external factors unrelated to the Company’s business and that are out of its control; shortages of key third party components; the effects of competitive pricing pressures, including decreases in average selling prices of the Company’s products; write-downs of inventory for excess quantity, changes in business priorities, technological obsolescence and erosion in net realizable value; strategic relationships, including key component suppliers; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth. Further information on potential risks that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended April 3, 2016 filed with SEC on May 25, 2016 and in Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors, herein.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency gains or losses are recorded as other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52 or53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to March 31. Fiscal year 2016 was a53-week fiscal year ended April 3, 2016 (“fiscal year 2016”). The extra week was included in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2016. The Company’s fiscal year ended March 29, 2015 (“fiscal year 2015”) was comprised of 52 weeks.

The first, second and third fiscal quarters in each of the two most recent fiscal years included 13 weeks.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 2016, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect adjustments, consisting of all normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the period ended January 1, 2017 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending April 2, 2017 or for any future year or interim period.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes include income taxes, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies, warranty reserves, goodwill, valuation of acquired assets, and valuation of Convertible Senior Notes, including the related convertible note hedges and warrants. These estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. As the Company uses the market approach to assess impairment, its common stock price is an important component of the fair value calculation. The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performs the annual goodwill impairment analysis in the third quarter of each fiscal year. As of January 1, 2017, no events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Concentration of credit risk

The majority of the Company’s products are shipped to distributors, original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers (collectively referred to as “intermediaries”), who are the legal counter-parties to the Company’s sales. When the Company references customers, sales, and revenue data in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, the Company is referring to the manufacturers of consumer electronics devices who are the end customers for its products. However, any disclosure about the composition of the Company’s accounts receivable refers to the intermediaries. Some of the Company’s intermediaries may serve more than one of the Company’s customers. As a result, attempting to compare or correlate disclosures about the Company’s accounts receivable composition as of a particular date with the disclosures regarding revenues generated by the Company’s customers for the period ending on the same date can be difficult or misleading.

One distributor accounted for 69% of accounts receivable and one customer accounted for 10% of accounts receivable at January 1, 2017. One distributor accounted for 48% of accounts receivable and one customer accounted for 11% of accounts receivable at April 3, 2016.

For the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, Apple Inc. (“Apple”) accounted for 59% and 55% of total net revenue, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, Apple accounted for 47% and 40% of total net revenue, respectively, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. accounted for 13% and 18% of total net revenue, respectively.

Warranty

The Company offersone-year standard warranty on its products. In selective cases, the warranty period can be extended to multiple years. The Company’s accrual for anticipated warranty costs includes management’s judgment regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims and associated repair costs. The following table summarizes the activity related to product warranty liability during the nine months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015:

Net income (loss) per share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, which excludes dilutive unvested restricted stock. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including unvested restricted stock, certain warrants to purchase common stock and potential dilutive shares from the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. In periods in which the Company has reported a net loss, the common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as their effect is antidilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance also modifies the impairment models foravailable-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new guidance will be effective for the Company starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company is in the process of determining the effects the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as whether to adopt the new guidance early.

In March, 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The new guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance will be effective for the Company starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period. The Company is in the process of determining the effects the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as whether to adopt the new guidance early.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to leases that outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the current lease guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and correspondingright-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure

12

requirements of lease arrangements. The new guidance must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and will be effective for the Company starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effects the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as whether to adopt the new guidance early.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASUNo. 2014-09 provides guidance that companies will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires public entities to apply the amendments in ASU2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods therein. On April 1, 2015, the FASB proposed aone-year deferral of the effective date for this pronouncement. The Company will be required to implement the new revenue recognition standard for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Cash equivalents andavailable-for-sale investments

At January 1, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.6 million, of which $6.6 million was cash and $24.0 million was cash equivalents invested in money market funds. At January 1, 2017, $19.6 million of the cash and cash equivalents were held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, as of January 1, 2017, the Company had short-termavailable-for-sale investments of $246.2 million.

At April 3, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $41.1 million, of which $25.4 million was cash and $15.7 million was cash equivalents invested in money market funds. At April 3, 2016, $21.0 million of the cash and cash equivalents were held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, as of April 3, 2016, the Company had short-termavailable-for-sale investments of $243.8 million.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC820-10 requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The inputs for the first two levels are considered observable and the last is unobservable and include the following:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, and as a result, prices or valuation techniques are employed that require inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair values of the Company’s money market funds were derived from quoted market prices as active markets for these instruments exist. The Company chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC825-10-05 “Fair Value Option” for its financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value, such as accounts payable, are reported at their carrying values.

Level 3 financial liabilities:

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration categorized as Level 3 for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015:

	Nine Months Ended
	January 1, 2017		December 27, 2015

Change in fair value and other		—		(5,307	)
Ending balance	$	1,909	$	1,909

Contingent consideration on acquired businesses was measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents certain information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for the contingent consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

Description	Valuation Techniques	Significant Unobservable Inputs
Liabilities: Contingent consideration	Present value of a Probability WeightedEarn-out model using an appropriate discount rate.	Estimate of achieving the milestones.

An increase in the estimate of probability of meeting the milestones could result in a significantly higher estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability. Alternatively, a decrease in the estimate of probability of meeting the milestones could result in a significantly lower estimated fair value of contingent consideration liability. The fair value of contingent consideration was derived from a probability weightedearn-out model of future contingent payments. The cash payments are expected to be made upon meeting the milestones. The initial valuation of the contingent consideration was based on a collaborative effort of the Company’s engineering and finance departments, and third party valuation experts. The estimate of meeting the milestones and discount rates is reviewed quarterly and updated as and when necessary. Potential valuation adjustments will be made to adjust the contingent consideration payments. These adjustments will be recorded in the statements of operations.

In fiscal year 2016, the fair value of contingent consideration, net declined by $5.3 million. The decline in fair value was the result of a reduction in the probability of a design win milestone associated with the Movea, S.A. (“Movea”) acquisition from 50% to 0% and a reduction in the probability of a design win associated with the Trusted Positioning, Inc. (“TPI”) acquisition from 50% to 0%. The gross declines in fair value of the design win milestones for Movea and TPI were $4.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and were recorded as a credit to research and development expense. Theearn-out payments for the Movea and TPI design win milestones were not made as these milestones were not met and expired during fiscal year 2016. Offsetting the gross declines was an increase in the fair value of two TPI cloud application milestones as a result of an increase in the estimated probability of achievement of those milestones. The increase in the fair value of the cloud application milestones was $1.1 million, which was recorded as a debit to research and development expense in fiscal year 2016. A design milestone for TPI was achieved and the payment of $1.9 million was made in fiscal year 2016. The last milestone of $1.9 million for TPI is expected to be paid in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

4. Commitments and contingencies

Operating lease obligations

The Company hasnon-cancelable operating leases for its facilities through fiscal year 2022.

Future minimum lease payments, net of future minimum lease income, under operating leases as of January 1, 2017 are as follows:

	Amount
Fiscal Years Ending:	(in thousands)
2017 (remainder)	$	1,269

Total	$	21,586

The Company’s lease agreements provide for rental payments which have certain lease incentives and graduated rental payments. As a result, the rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company’s rental expense under operating leases, net of the rent income from subleases of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, was approximately $1.3 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, respectively. The Company’s rental expense under operating leases, net of the rent income from subleases of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, was approximately $1.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

The Company hasnon-cancelable purchase commitments with its foundry vendors. Future minimum payments of $14.4 million under the purchase commitments as of January 1, 2017 are due in less than twelve months.

Legal proceedings and contingencies

From time to time the Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property and employment issues. In addition, the Company is a party to class action lawsuits.

In January and March 2015, purported shareholders filed five substantially similar class action complaints in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California against the Company and two of the Company’s current and former executives (“Class Action Defendants”) (Jim McMillan v. InvenSense, Inc., et al. Case No.3:15-cv-00084-JD, filed January 7, 2015; William Lendales v. InvenSense, Inc. et al., Case No.3:15-cv-00142-VC, filed on January 12, 2015; Plumber & Steamfitters Local 21 Pension Fund v. InvenSense, Inc., et al., Case No.5:15-cv-00249-BLF, filed on January 16, 2015; William B. Davis vs. InvenSense, Inc., et al., Case No.5:15-cv-00425-RMW, filed on January 29, 2015; and Saratoga Advantage Trust Technology & Communications Portfolio v. InvenSense et al., Case No.3:15-cv-01134, filed on March 11, 2015). On April 23, 2015, three of those cases were consolidated into a single proceeding which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California and captioned In re InvenSense, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No.3:15-cv-00084-JD (the “Securities Case”), and the Vossen Group was designated as lead plaintiff; the other two cases (Lendales and Saratoga Advantage Trust) were voluntarily dismissed in March and June 2015, respectively. On May 26, 2015, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint, which alleges that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements regarding our business results between July 29, 2014 and October 28, 2014, and seeks unspecified damages along with plaintiff’s costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. On June 25, 2015, the Class Action Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. A ruling granting the motion in part and denying it in part, and giving the lead plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint, issued on March 28, 2016. The lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 18, 2016. On May 5, 2016, the Class Action Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the amended complaint. The motion was argued and submitted on June 29, 2016; the court has not yet filed an order ruling on the motion. In light of the unresolved legal issues, the amount of any potential loss cannot be estimated. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter and, accordingly, cannot estimate the potential financial impact on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial position.

In addition, in January and March 2015, other purported shareholders filed three substantially similar shareholder derivative complaints against two of our current and former officers and several of our current and former directors, two in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California and a third in Santa Clara Superior Court (George E Rollins v. Behrooz Abdi et al., Case No.5:15-cv-00184-PSG, filed on January 13, 2015; Linda Karr v. Behrooz Abdi et al., Case No.5:15-cv-00200-NC, filed on January 14, 2015; and Robert Bilbrey v. Behrooz Abdi et al., Case No.1-15-CV-278742, filed on March 20, 2015). The two federal court derivative actions have been consolidated into In re InvenSense, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Case No.5:15-cv-00184-JD. In June 2016, another purported shareholder filed a substantially similar shareholder derivative complaint against three of our current and former officers and several of our current and former directors in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County (Valerie Caveglia v. Jon Olson, et al., Civil Action No.16-1971-BLS-1) (collectively, the “Derivative Cases”). In the Derivative Cases complaints, the plaintiffs make allegations similar to those presented in the Securities Case, but the plaintiffs assert various state law causes of action, including claims of breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The Company has undertaken an evaluation of these complaints. Plaintiffs in all four of the Derivative Cases have agreed to, and the courts have entered, indefinite stays pending developments in the Securities Case.

The Company is not aware of any other pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company’s analysis of whether a claim may proceed to litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, nor can the results of litigation be predicted with certainty. Nevertheless, defending any of these actions, regardless of the outcome, may be costly, time consuming, distract management personnel, and have a negative effect on the Company’s business. An adverse outcome in any of these actions, including a judgment or settlement, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future business, operating results, and/or financial condition.

The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers and subcontractors for attorney fees and damages and costs awarded against such parties in certain circumstances in which the Company’s products are alleged to infringe third-party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks or copyrights. Indemnification costs are charged to operations as incurred.

The Company’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). In addition, the Company’s directors, the Company’s chief executive officer and certain executive officers have entered into separate indemnification agreements with the

Company. The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, limits the liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The obligation to indemnify generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse the individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with these matters.

5. Convertible senior notes

In November 2013, the Company issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due on November 1, 2018 (the “Notes”), in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws or blue sky laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or available exemptions from the registration requirements.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and are junior to any of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness. The Notes pay interest in cash semi-annually (May and November) at a rate of 1.75% per annum. Net proceeds received by the Company, after issuance costs, were approximately $169.3 million.

On or after August 1, 2018 until the maturity date, the Notes may be converted at the option of the holders. Holders may convert the Notes at their option prior to August 1, 2018 only under the following circumstances:

1) During any calendar quarter and only during such calendar quarter, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of $21.89 on each applicable trading day;

2) During the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the “trading price” per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

3) Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, including if there is a fundamental change. The Merger Agreement dated as of December 21, 2016 did not constitute a specified corporate event or a fundamental change which may require the Company to redeem the Notes; however, the consummation of the Merger will constitute a fundamental change and a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” under the indenture dated as of November 13, 2013 by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company expects TDK Corporation to cause it to, as required by the terms of the Indenture, launch a tender offer to purchase the Notes at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Repurchase Right”). In connection with the Merger, holders of the Notes also have the right, in lieu of the Repurchase Right, to convert each one thousand dollar principal amount of their Notes for cash at the then-applicable conversion rate under the Indenture pursuant to the terms of a supplemental indenture, however this would result in holders receiving less cash for their Notes than if they had instead exercised the Repurchase Right.

Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver cash, shares of its own common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its own common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.

The conversion rate is initially 45.683 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.89 per share of common stock), subject to certain adjustments.

The Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to the maturity date. At an event of default or fundamental change, the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest may become due immediately at the Note holders’ option.

The Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of the Notes. The initial debt component of the Notes was valued at $135.7 million based on the contractual cash flows discounted at an appropriate comparable marketnon-convertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance of 7.3%, with the equity component representing the residual amount of the proceeds of $39.3 million which was recorded as a debt discount. The issuance costs were allocatedpro-rata based on the relative initial carrying amounts of the debt and equity components, including the Note hedges and warrants transactions described below. As a result,

20

INVENSENSE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

$2.5 million of the issuance costs were allocated to the equity component of the Notes, $3.0 million of issuance costs paid to the initial purchaser were accounted for as a debt discount and $0.25 million of the issuance costs were classified as othernon-current assets. Debt issuance costs were reclassified and presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 under the guidance of ASU2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The debt discount and the issuance costs allocated to the debt component are amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.

As of January 1, 2017, the remaining amortization period of the debt discount and the issuance costs is 1.8 years. The effective interest rate of the Notes is 7.84% per annum (1.75% coupon rate plus 6.09% ofnon-cash accretion expense).

Convertible notes hedges and warrants

Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes on November 6 and 7, 2013, the Company purchased call options for its own common stock to hedge the Notes (the “Note Hedge”) and sold call options for its own common stock (the “Warrants”). The Note Hedges and Warrants transactions are structured to reduce the potential future economic dilution associated with the conversion of the Notes and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for each period presented, as the Company’s average stock price during each period is less than the conversion price.

The Note Hedges—On November 6 and 7, 2013, the Company purchased call options from a counterparty for an aggregate price of approximately $39.1 million, which gives the Company the right to buy from the counterparty up to approximately 8.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $21.89 per share, subject to adjustments. The Note Hedge is exercisable upon conversion of the Notes for a number of shares equal to the product of 0.045683 and amount of the converted Note. Upon exercise of the Note Hedge, the Company will receive from the counterparty cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, equal to the amount by which the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds $21.89 during the applicable valuation period. By the Note Hedge terms, the Company will receive cash and shares in a combination that offsets share dilution caused by conversion of the Notes.

Warrants—On November 6 and 7, 2013, the Company sold call options to the same counterparty for approximately $25.6 million, which gives the counterparty the right to buy from the Company up to approximately 8.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $28.66 per share, subject to adjustments, on a series of days commencing on February 1, 2019 and ending May 13, 2019. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company has the option to deliver cash or shares of its common stock equal to the difference between the market price on the exercise date and the strike price of the Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will pay to the initial purchaser cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof (at the Company’s choice), equal to the amount by which the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds $28.66 during the applicable valuation period.

The Note Hedges and Warrants are classified in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Notes are shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their original issuance value, net of unamortized discount, and are not marked to market each period. The approximate fair value of the Notes as of January 1, 2017 was $173.7 million. The fair value of the Notes was determined using quoted market prices for similar securities, which, due to limited trading activity, are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

6. Stockholders’ equity

Stock plans

In July 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors and its stockholders approved the establishment of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance thereunder on the first business day of each fiscal year, equal to four percent (4%) of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of such date, which resulted in an annual increase of 3.7 million shares for fiscal year 2017.

Under the 2011 Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, or stock awards to eligible persons, including employees, nonemployees, members of the Board of Directors, consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Company.

The Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), was adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 13, 2004, and was last amended on August 31, 2011. The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to employees and any parent and subsidiary corporation’s employees, and for the grant ofnon-qualified stock options and restricted stock to employees, directors and consultants and any parent and subsidiary corporation’s employees. The Company has not granted any additional awards under the 2004 Plan following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in November 2011. However, the 2004 Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of outstanding awards granted thereunder.

Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees and at an exercise price of no less than fair value on the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options may be granted at an exercise price of no less than fair value on the date of grant. For owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, options may only be granted for an exercise price of not less than 110% of fair value, and these options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options may be exercisable immediately but subject to repurchase. Stock options vest over the period determined by the Board of Directors, generally four years.

Valuation of stock-based awards

The Company applies the provisions of ASC718-10 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” which establishes the accounting for stock-based awards based on the fair value of the award measured at grant date. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of both cost of revenues and operating expenses over the requisite service period. ASC718-10 requires tax benefits in excess of compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the volatilities of a peer group of companies based on industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company uses historical experience to estimate expected term. The expected volatility was based on the historical stock volatilities of the Company’s historical data with that of a peer group of publicly listed companies over a period equal to the expected terms. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasuryzero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 was $0.4 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015 was $0.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the estimated fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of exercise.

The number of options expected to vest takes into account an estimate of expected forfeitures. As of January 1, 2017, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures related tonon-vested options, was $15.3 million to be amortized over a weighted-average remaining period of 3.2 years. Total unrecognized expense will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions in determining stock-based compensation expense for options granted in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	January 1, 2017			December 27, 2015			January 1, 2017			December 27, 2015
Expected term (in years)		5.6			5.2			5.5			5.1
Volatility		53.2	%		44.8	%		49.4	%		45.1	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.8	%		1.7	%		1.4	%		1.5	%
Dividend rate		0	%		0	%		0	%		0	%

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted in the three and nine month ended January 1, 2017 was $2.79 and $4.16 per share, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted in the three and nine month ended December 27, 2015 was $4.35 and $5.97 per share, respectively.

Restricted stock units and restricted stock

Restricted stock unit and restricted stock activity of the Company under the Plans are as follows:

Restricted stock units and restricted stock activities	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
	(in thousands, except per share amount)
Unvested at April 3, 2016		4,972		$	13.47
Granted		1,652			6.84
Released		(891	)		15.06
Forfeited		(645	)		13.13
Unvested at January 1, 2017		5,088		$	11.08

Restricted stock units and restricted stock granted to employees are generally subject to the employee’s continued service to the Company over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock units and restricted stock is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each grant adjusted for estimated forfeitures. As of January 1, 2017, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures related tonon-vested restricted stock units and restricted stock, was $34.0 million to be amortized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.6 years.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of restricted stock units and restricted stock awarded in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 was $8.04 and $6.84 per share, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of restricted stock units and restricted stock awarded in the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015 was $10.44 and $13.12 per share, respectively.

2013 Employee stock purchase plan

Under the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ESPP”), eligible employees may apply accumulated payroll deductions, which may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation, to the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock at periodic intervals. The purchase price of stock under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first day of each offering period, or (ii) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date (as defined in the ESPP). Each offering period consists of one purchase period of approximately six month duration.

At the 2016 and 2015 annual meetings of stockholders, stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the ESPP to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance by 2,000,000 shares and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, which brought the total amount of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP to an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares. 1,011,000 shares had been purchased pursuant to the ESPP as of January 1, 2017.

Compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESPP was $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017. Compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESPP was $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015.

Common stock

As of January 1, 2017 and April 3, 2016, common stock reserved for future issuance was as follows:

7. Income taxes

In the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. In the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company’s estimated 2017 effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowances on certain of the Company’s net operating losses and tax credits, foreign tax rate differences, integration of acquired technologies, andnon-deductible stock-based compensation expense.

On July 27, 2015, the Tax Court issued an opinion (Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner) regarding the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements. However, U.S. Treasury has not withdrawn the requirement to include stock-based compensation from its regulations. Also, there is uncertainty related to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) response to the Tax Court opinion, the final resolution of this issue, and the potential favorable benefits to the Company. As such, no impact has been recorded for the three and nine month periods ended January 1, 2017. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to this opinion and the potential impact of those developments on the Company’s current and prior fiscal years.

The Company does not provide for federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries because it is the Company’s intent to reinvest earnings indefinitely offshore.

As of January 1, 2017, gross unrecognized tax benefits were $35.0 million. If gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2017 were realized in a subsequent period, this would result in a tax benefit of $18.7 million within the provision of income taxes at such time.

The Company’s tax returns for the 2011 through 2014 tax years are currently under examination by the IRS. The Company may be subject to examination by the State of California for the tax years 2010 and forward. The Company’s tax returns are subject to routine examination for tax years 2008 and forward in various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates.

The Company is engaged in discussions and negotiations with the IRS regarding tax matters in the tax years 2011 through 2014. The balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve months due to lapses of applicable statutes of limitations and the completion of tax review cycles in various tax jurisdictions.

The Company is pursuing all reasonable administrative remedies relative to these matters. The management believes that the Company has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these proposed adjustments and the ultimate resolution of these matters is unlikely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations, however there is still a possibility that an adverse outcome of these matters could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

8. Acquisition

The Company completed one acquisition in fiscal year 2017 and one acquisition in fiscal year 2016. The acquisitions have been accounted for under ASC 805. Under ASC 805, the total purchase consideration of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is recorded as goodwill, and was derived from expected benefits from future technology development, synergies and the knowledgeable and experienced workforce who joined the Company after the acquisitions.

Fiscal year 2017

In August 2016, the Company acquired the pressure sensor business from Sensirion Holding AG and its affiliates used in the development of capacitive-type monolithic digital pressure-sensor technology platform. The preliminary purchase price allocation reflected that the purchase price associated with the acquisition was approximately $9.8 million, of which $5.7 million was allocated to developed technology with an estimated useful life of six years and $4.1 million was allocated to goodwill. This acquisition is not significant to the Company’s results of operations.

Fiscal year 2016

In December 2015, the Company acquired certain assets of Spirit Corp LLC and its affiliates used in the development of navigation solutions. The total cash consideration associated with the acquisition was approximately $7 million for which the purchase price was attributable to the acquiredin-process research and development. The fair value ofin-process research and development was determined using a cost approach, which includes an estimate of time and expenses required to recreate the intangible asset. The Company will also record approximately $1.0 million in post-acquisition expense that may be payable in the future should certain specified milestones be met. This acquisition is not significant to the Company’s results of operations.

9. Goodwill and intangible assets

The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since April 3, 2016. The Company performs the annual goodwill impairment analysis during the third quarter of each fiscal year. As of and for the nine months ended January 1, 2017, the Company concluded that the $143.3 million of goodwill was not impaired.

Purchased intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of developed technology, customer relationships and patents and are reported net of accumulated amortization. Developed technology, customer relationships and patents are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is assessed for impairment until the development is completed and products are available for sale.

During the nine months ended January 1, 2017, one IPR&D project was released to production. The IPR&D value allocated to this project of $1.6 million was transferred to developed technology. The estimated useful life for this technology was five years. In fiscal year 2016, two IPR&D projects were released to production. The IPR&D value allocated to the projects of $3.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were transferred to developed technology. The estimated useful life for each technology is five years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended April 3, 2016, and with management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 25, 2016.

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, includes a number of forward-looking statements that involve many risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words “would”, “could”, “will”, “may”, “expect”, “believe”, “should”, “anticipate”, “outlook”, “if”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “targets”, “seek” or “continue” and similar words and phrases, including the negatives of these terms, or other variations of these terms, that denote future events. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the previously announced pending merger with TDK Corporation, our expectations as to when cash payments and milestone payments are to be made; our ability to protect our intellectual property and defend against infringement claims; our expectations as to the outcome of current and future legal proceedings, including the potential impact thereof; our estimated useful life of certain technologies; our belief that a substantial majority of our net revenue will continue to come from sales to customers in Asia and from sales to customers who are headquartered in the United States, but who use contract manufacturers in Asia; the outcome of current and future tax examinations by the IRS, California and various foreign tax jurisdictions; our belief that the proposed tax adjustments and the ultimate resolution thereof is unlikely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations; our belief in the sufficiency of our current cash, cash equivalents and investments to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months; our plans to reinvest earnings from our foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States; and our belief that exposure for indemnification obligations is minimal. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and our potential financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially and adversely from what is projected or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this Form10-Q. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risks referred to under Item 1A. of Part II — “Risk Factors,” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed on May 25, 2016 with the SEC, and discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q including in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 2 of Part I — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Item 1A of Part II — “Risk Factors,” and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. We make these forward-looking statements based upon information available on the date of this Form10-Q, and we have no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise except as otherwise required by securities regulations.

Overview

Business overview

We are a leader in sensor solutions, particularly sensors that combine microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) transducers, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, compasses, and microphones, with proprietary algorithms, processors and firmware that synthesize and calibrate sensor output data. We utilize a fabless model, leveraging generally available complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and MEMS foundries to whom we have granted licenses to use our proprietary enhancements and improvements for our benefit, as well as semiconductor packaging and services vendors. We perform critical test and calibration functions in our wholly owned subsidiary located in Hsinchu, Taiwan. We design our products and solutions in California, Massachusetts, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, France, Canada, Slovakia, and Italy.

Pending merger with TDK Corporation

We entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TDK Corporation, a company organized under the laws of Japan (“TDK Corporation”), and TDK Sensor Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation (“Merger Sub”), dated as of December 21, 2016, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), will be automatically converted into the right to receive $13.00 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), other than certain shares owned by us, TDK Corporation and our and its respective subsidiaries (which shares will be cancelled) and shares held by stockholders who have validly exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law.

Treatment of Compensatory Equity Awards

At the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding and unexercised vested option to purchase shares of Common Stock that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Merger Consideration (each, a “Vested Option”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option and (b) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Vested Option, (ii) each outstanding and unexercised unvested option to purchase shares of Common Stock that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Merger Consideration (each, an “Unvested Option”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Unvested Option and (b) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Unvested Option, but only if the holder of such Unvested Option satisfies all of the vesting conditions that would have related to the terminated Unvested Option (including continued employment requirements through the applicable dates of vesting), (iii) each outstanding vested restricted stock unit (each, a “Vested RSU”) will be cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested RSU and (b) the Merger Consideration, (iv) each outstanding unvested restricted stock unit (each, an “Unvested RSU”) will be cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive a payment equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Unvested RSU and (b) the Merger Consideration, but only if the holder of such Unvested RSU satisfies all of the vesting conditions that would have related to the terminated Unvested RSU (including continued employment requirements through the applicable dates of vesting), and (v) each outstanding unvested share of restricted Common Stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, but only if the holder of such restricted Common Stock satisfies all of the vesting conditions that would have related to the terminated unvested share of restricted Common Stock. Each Vested Option or Unvested Option with an exercise price per share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without consideration.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by us, TDK Corporation and Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of our company and its subsidiaries between signing and closing, restrictions on responses by us with respect to the receipt of alternative transactions, governmental filings and approvals and other matters. TDK Corporation also has agreed to various covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions that may be necessary in order to obtain approval of the Merger with certain governmental authorities, subject to certain exceptions.

The Merger Agreement generally prohibits our solicitation of proposals relating to alternative transactions and restricts our ability to furnishnon-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party with respect to any alternative transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Merger Agreement requires us to call and hold a special meeting of stockholders and requires the Board to recommend adoption by our stockholders of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

Closing Conditions

The closing of the Merger is subject to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger are also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to (i) the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifications), and (iii) each party’s compliance with or performance of the covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement in all material respects.

Termination and Termination Fees

The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for us and TDK Corporation, including if the Merger is not consummated before June 21, 2017, subject to a three-month extension if necessary to obtain certain regulatory approvals. The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for both us and TDK Corporation and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we or TDK Corporation may terminate the agreement and as a result either we or TDK Corporation may be required to pay a termination fee of approximately $46.7 million (the “Breakup Fee”).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016 and incorporated herein by reference.

Voting Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, our directors, executive officers and certain of our stockholders, in their capacities as holders of Common Stock or other equity interests of our company, each entered into a voting agreement with TDK Corporation (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which each agreed, among other things, to (i) vote their Common Stock for the approval of the Merger Agreement and against any alternative proposal, and (ii) comply with certain restrictions on the disposition of their Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreements will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Effective Time, (c) the end date specified in the Merger Agreement and (d) such time as the Merger Agreement is amended to change the form or reduce the amount of the Merger Consideration.

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreements, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 1 to our Current Report on Form8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016 and incorporated herein by reference.

Retention Agreements

In connection with, and contingent on, the Merger, we entered into letter agreements with Behrooz Abdi, Daniel Goehl and Mozafar Maghsoudnia (each, a “Recipient”, and collectively, the “Recipients”) providing for the payment of a retention bonus (“Retention Bonus”) to each Recipient if (a) the Recipient remains an employee until the later of (i) the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated and (ii) the first anniversary of the date on which the Merger Agreement is fully executed (such later date, the “Vesting Date”), or (b) the Recipient’s employment terminates prior to the Vesting Date as a result of a termination by us without Cause (as defined in the letter agreement) or the Recipient’s death or permanent disability. The letter agreements also provide for the accelerated payment of a certain percentage of the total cash value payable for the unvested awards (limited to unvested restricted stock unit awards in the case of Mr. Abdi) held by the applicable Recipient, which accelerated payment will proportionally reduce any future payments to be made to the Recipient on the applicable vesting dates with respect to such awards. We have also entered into letter agreements providing for a retention bonus with certain other officers who are not named executive officers.

The foregoing description of the letter agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the letter agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

The pending acquisition of us by TDK Corporation does not impact the basis of presentation in the accompanying financial statements. Following completion of the Merger, we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation, the Common Stock will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such, we will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.

We recorded transaction-related costs of $3.0 million, principally for outside financial advisory, legal, and related fees and expenses associated with the pending acquisition, in the quarter ended January 1, 2017. Additional transaction-related costs are expected to be incurred by us through the closing of the Merger.

Net revenue

We derive our net revenue from sales of our Motion and Audio sensor solutions. We primarily sell our products through our worldwide sales organization. We also sell our products through an indirect channel of distributors that fulfill orders from manufacturers of consumer electronics devices, original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers (collectively referred to as “intermediaries”). When we reference customers, we are referring to the manufacturers of products to whom these intermediaries sell our products.

	(in thousands)
Net revenue	$	79,810	$	120,029	$	220,277	$	338,870

Net revenue decreased by $40.2 million, or 34%, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 and decreased by $118.6 million, or 35%, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal year 2016. The decreases in net revenue were primarily due to lower volume shipments to manufacturers of smartphones, tablet devices and camera modules incorporating optimal image stabilization, combined with lower per unit average selling prices. Total unit shipments decreased by 27% and 30% in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, respectively. Our overall average unit selling price for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 decreased 9% and 8%, respectively, as a result of the change in our product mix and declines in average selling prices.

For the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, Apple Inc. (“Apple”) accounted for 59% and 55% of total net revenue, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, Apple accounted for 47% and 40% of total net revenue, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. accounted for 13% and 18% of net revenue, respectively.

The net revenue decrease for the smartphone and tablet end market and Internet of Things (“IoT”) and other end market in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year reflects the weakhigh-end smartphone market combined with increased competition for market share across this market segment. The net revenue decrease for the optimal image stabilization end market in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 primarily reflects a loss of market share at a major customer in Korea.

We report revenue by geographic region based upon the location of the headquarters of our customers. We primarily sell our products directly to customers and distributors in Asia and North America. Sales into companies headquartered in Asian countries constituted 33% and 38% of our net revenue in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, respectively, compared with 47% and 54% of our net revenue in the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, respectively. For the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, net revenue decreased in the United States and in Asian countries. The net revenue decrease for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, reflected weakhigh-end smartphone market combined with increased competition for market share for mobile device manufacturers. The net revenue decrease in Korea in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 compared to the corresponding period last year resulted from a loss of market share at a major customer.

As a result of our regional customer concentration, we may be subject to economic and political events and other developments that impact our customers in Asia. For more information, see the section titled “Risk Factors—Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by the political and economic conditions of the countries in which we conduct business,” referred to under Item 1A. of Part I in our Annual Report on Form10-K filed on May 25, 2016 with the SEC.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit is the difference between net revenue and cost of revenue and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of net revenue.

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	January 1,			December 27,			January 1,			December 27,
	2017			2015			2017			2015
	(in thousands)
Gross profit	$	33,477		$	49,801		$	91,754		$	141,203
% of net revenue		42	%		41	%		42	%		42	%

Gross profit decreased by $16.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 and decreased by $49.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2017 as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal year 2016. In the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2017, gross profit decreased primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of our products combined with decreases in average selling prices per unit.

Gross margin increased in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 compared to the same period last year due to a net $1.2 million benefit from the sale of previously written down inventory compared to an excess and obsolete inventory charge of $2.0 million in the same period last year. The impact of the change in benefit from the sale of previously written down inventory was partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices per unit compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue, or gross margin, remained unchanged in the first nine months of fiscal year 2017 compared to the same period last year.

We expect gross margins to fluctuate during future periods due to changes in product mix, average unit selling prices, manufacturing costs, manufacturing yields, amortization of acquired intangible assets, levels of inventory valuation and excess reserves recorded, if any, and levels of product demand.

Research and development expense

Research and development expense primarily consists of personnel related expenses (including employee cash compensation and benefits, and stock-based compensation), contract engineering services, reference design development costs, development testing and evaluation costs, depreciation expense, amortization of certain acquisition intangibles and allocated occupancy costs. Research and development activities include the design of new products, refinement of existing products and processes and design of test methodologies, including hardware and software to ensure compliance with required specifications. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase slightly on an absolute basis in the near future as we continue to expand our product offerings and enhance existing products.

33

Research and development expense for three months ended January 1, 2017 increased by $3.1 million, or 12%, compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million increase in outside services costs associated with new product development, a $0.7 million increase each in engineering equipment and supplies expenses, a $0.6 million increase in employee compensation and benefits costs and a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to an increase in headcount. Research and development headcount increased to 341 at January 1, 2017 from 320 at December 27, 2015.

Research and development expense for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 increased by $12.5 million, or 18%, primarily attributable to a $5.3 million contingent consideration credit adjustment in the nine months ended December 27, 2015. Excluding the contingent credit adjustment, research and development expense for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 increased by $7.2 million compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily due to $3.4 million in outside services costs associated with new product development, a $2.4 million increase in employee compensation and benefits costs largely from higher headcount, a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.4 million increase in depreciation costs related to increased capital equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense primarily consists of personnel related expenses (including employee cash compensation and benefits, and stock-based compensation), sales commissions, field application engineering support, travel costs, professional and consulting fees, legal fees, depreciation expense and allocated occupancy costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $4.2 million, or 29%, in the three months ended January 1, 2017 compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to a $3.6 million increase in consulting and outside services, of which $3.0 million was incurred in connection with the proposed Merger, a $0.7 million increase employee compensation and benefits costs primarily due to an increase in headcount, and a $0.2 million increase in travel and entertainment and tradeshow costs in support of expanded geographic, customer and market opportunities for our products. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. Selling, general and administrative headcount increased to 136 at January 1, 2017 from 153 at December 27, 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.9 million, or 4%, in the nine months ended January 1, 2017 compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to a $3.0 million increase in consulting and outside services incurred in connection with the proposed Merger and a $0.2 million increase in increase in travel and entertainment costs in support of expanded geographic, customer and market opportunities for our products. This increase was partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Interest (expense) for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015 was primarily related to the 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Other income (expense), net was $0.5 million and $(35,000) for the three months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, respectively. The increase reflects higher interest income and a decrease in foreign exchange losses over the prior year. Other income (expense), net was $0.9 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, respectively. The increase primarily reflects higher interest income over the prior year.

In the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. In the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $5.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Our estimated 2017 effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowances on certain of our net operating losses and tax credits, foreign tax rate differences, integration of acquired technologies, andnon-deductible stock-based compensation expense.

As of January 1, 2017, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $35.0 million. If the gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2017 were realized in a subsequent period, this would result in a tax benefit of $18.7 million within our provision of income taxes at such time.

On July 27, 2015, the Tax Court issued an opinion (Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner) regarding the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements. However, the U.S. Treasury has not withdrawn the requirement to include stock-based compensation from its regulations. Also, there is uncertainty related to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) response to the Tax Court opinion, the final resolution of this issue, and the potential favorable benefits to us. As such, no impact has been recorded in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017. We will continue to monitor developments related to this opinion and the potential impact of those developments on our current and prior fiscal years.

We do not provide for federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries because it is our intent to reinvest earnings indefinitely offshore.

35

We are currently under examination by the IRS for the 2011 through 2014 tax years. We may be subject to examination by the State of California for tax years 2010 and forward. We are subject to routine examination for tax years 2008 and forward in various foreign tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

We are engaged in discussions and negotiations with the IRS regarding tax matters in the tax years 2011 through 2014. The balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve months due to lapses of applicable statutes of limitations and the completion of tax review cycles in various tax jurisdictions.

We are pursuing all reasonable administrative remedies relative to these matters. We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these proposed adjustments and the ultimate resolution of these matters is unlikely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations; however, there is still a possibility that an adverse outcome of these matters could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, costs, and expenses, and any related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with income taxes, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies, warranty reserves, goodwill, valuation of acquired assets, and valuation of Notes, including the related convertible notes hedges and warrants, have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the SEC on May 25, 2016.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of January 1, 2017, we had $276.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments. We believe our current cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months. Our liquidity may be negatively impacted as a result of a decline in sales of our products due to a decline in our end markets, decreases in sales of our customers’ products in the market, or the adoption of competitors’ products by our customers or end users. Additionally, $19.6 million of our $30.7 million in our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries as of January 1, 2017. If these funds are needed for our operations in the United States, we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the United States, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations. The Merger Agreement dated as of December 21, 2016 did not constitute a specified corporate event or a fundamental change which may require us to redeem the Notes; however, the consummation of the Merger will constitute a fundamental change and a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” under the indenture dated as of November 13, 2013 by and between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). Following the consummation of the Merger, we expect TDK Corporation to cause it to, as required by the terms of the Indenture, launch a tender offer to purchase the Notes at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Repurchase Right”). In connection with the Merger, holders of the Notes also have the right, in lieu of the Repurchase Right, to convert each one thousand dollar principal amount of their Notes for cash at the then-applicable conversion rate under the Indenture pursuant to the terms of a supplemental indenture, however this would result in holders receiving less cash for their Notes than if they had instead exercised the Repurchase Right.

Our primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, purchases of inventory, the acquisition of property and equipment and to pursue strategic investments or acquisitions if opportunities arise. Cash used to fund operating expenses excludes the impactof non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Our primary sources of cash are cash receipts on accounts receivable from shipment of our products to customers and distributors. Aside from the growth in amounts billed to our customers, net cash collections of accounts receivable are impacted by the efficiency of our cash collections process, which can vary from period to period depending on the payment cycles of our major customers and distributors.

The change in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015 was as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	January 1, 2017			December 27, 2015
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	6,581		$	86,022
Net cash used in investing activities		(20,619	)		(130,594	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		3,568			2,812
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(10,470	)	$	(41,760	)

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 of $6.6 million was primarily due tonon-cash expenses of $50.4 million and a change in operating assets and liabilities of $5.4 million offset partially by a net loss of $49.2 million. Thenon-cash expense of $50.4 million consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $25.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $17.8 million andnon-cash interest expense of $6.5 million. The changes in our net operating assets and liabilities of $5.4 million were primarily comprised of a decrease of $29.4 million in inventories and $2.1 million in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by a net decrease of $25.7 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily due to timing of inventory purchases and price discounts to a customer in the nine months ended December 27, 2015.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 27, 2015 of $86.0 million was primarily due tonon-cash expenses of $43.6 million, a change in operating assets and liabilities of $40.6 million and net income of $1.7 million. Thenon-cash expenses of $43.6 million consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $25.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $16.3 million,non-cash interest expense of $6.0 million, deferred income tax assets of $1.6 million, partially offset by contingent consideration adjustment of $5.3 million and tax effect of employee benefit plan of $0.9 million. The changes in our net operating assets and liabilities of $40.6 million were primarily comprised of a net increase of $24.8 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities mainly due to price discounts to a customer, a decrease of $13.4 million in inventories and a decrease of $2.2 million in prepaid and other current assets.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 of $20.6 million primarily reflected the purchase ofavailable-for-sale investments of $238.0 million, the acquisition of the pressure sensor business from Sensirion Holding AG for $9.8 million and the purchase of property and equipment of $6.7 million, partially offset by the sale and maturity ofavailable-for-sale investments of $235.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended December 27, 2015 of $130.6 million primarily reflected the purchase ofavailable-for-sale investments of $239.3 million and the purchase of property and equipment of $6.2 million, partially offset by the sale and maturity ofavailable-for-sale investments of $114.9 million.

Cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended January 1, 2017 of $3.6 million resulted primarily from proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended December 27, 2015 of $2.8 million resulted primarily from proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $4.7 million partially offset by certain payments of contingent consideration related to the TPI acquisition of $1.9 million.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities of financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPE”) which would have been established for the purpose of facilitatingoff-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of January 1, 2017, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

37

Warranties and Indemnification

In connection with the sale of our products in the ordinary course of business, we often make representations affirming, among other things, that our products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, and agree to indemnify customers against third-party claims for such infringement. Further, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws require us to indemnify our officers and directors against any action that may arise out of their services in that capacity. We have not been subject to any material liabilities under such provisions and therefore believe that our exposure for these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these indemnity agreements as of January 1, 2017.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our outstanding contractual obligations as of January 1, 2017:

	Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
	(in thousands)
Convertible senior note obligations	$	175,000	$	—	$	175,000	$	—	$	—
Interest on convertible senior note obligations		5,595		3,054		2,541		—
Operating lease obligations		21,586		6,144		12,862		2,546		34
Purchase obligations		14,377		14,377		—		—		—
Total contractual obligations	$	216,558	$	23,575	$	190,403	$	2,546	$	34

Convertible senior note obligations and interest on convertible senior note obligations relate to the Notes issued in November 2013. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for a description of the Notes. Operating leases consist of contractual obligations from agreements fornon-cancelable office space, net of future minimum lease income. Minimum sublease income from third parties was approximately $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2017. Minimum sublease income from third parties was approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2015. In the event of the failure of a third party to comply with its obligations under the subleases, we remain contractually obligated, as primary lessee, under the lease.

Purchase obligations consist of the minimum purchase commitments made to contract manufacturers.

Included in our gross unrecognized tax benefits balance of $35.0 million at January 1, 2017 are $18.7 million of tax positions which would affect income tax expense if recognized. As of January 1, 2017, approximately $16.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including $13.0 million in federal and $3.3 million in states, would be offset by a change in valuation allowance. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the settlement of these liabilities, we are unable to estimate the year in which the future cash flows may occur. As a result, these amounts are not included in the table above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The information set forth under Note 1 – Organization and summary of significant accounting policies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2016. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since April 3, 2016.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

38

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules13a-15(d) or15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information required by this Item 1 of Part II is set forth under Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies – of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the cautionary information included in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form10-K, filed with the SEC on May 25, 2016, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations. The following risk factor also could also affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our proposed acquisition by TDK Corporation is subject to a number of conditions beyond our control. Failure to complete the acquisition could materially and adversely affect our future business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

We entered into the Merger Agreement with TDK Corporation and Merger Sub, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into our company, with InvenSense surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation. The consummation of the Merger is conditioned on the receipt of the approval of our stockholders, as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including domestic and foreign regulatory approvals and performance in all material respects by each party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

We cannot predict whether and when the conditions will be satisfied. If one or more of these conditions is not satisfied, and as a result, we do not complete the Merger, or in the event the proposed Merger is not completed or is delayed for any other reason, our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price may be harmed because:

• management’s and our employees’ attention may be diverted from ourday-to-day operations as they focus on matters related to preparing for integration of our operations with those of TDK Corporation;

• we could potentially lose key employees if such employees experience uncertainty about their future roles with us and decide to pursue other opportunities in light of the proposed Merger and we may have difficulty hiring and retaining new employees;

• we could potentially lose customers or vendors, and new customer or vendor contracts could be delayed or decreased;

• we have agreed to restrictions in the Merger Agreement that limit how we conduct our business prior to the consummation of the Merger, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to make certain capital expenditures, investments and acquisitions, sell, transfer or dispose of our assets, enter into material contracts outside of the ordinary course of business, amend our organizational documents and incur indebtedness; these restrictions may not be in our best interests as an independent company and may disrupt or otherwise adversely affect our business and our relationships with our customers, prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, limit our ability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments and future opportunities, and otherwise harm our business, financial results and operations;

• we have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses related to the Merger, such as legal, financial advisory and accounting fees, and other expenses that are payable by us whether or not the proposed Merger is completed;

• we may be required to pay a termination fee of $46.7 million to TDK Corporation if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, which would negatively affect our financial results and liquidity;

• activities related to the Merger and related uncertainties may lead to a loss of revenues and market position that we may not be able to regain if the proposed Merger does not occur; and

• the failure to, or delays in, consummating the Merger may result in a negative impression of us with customers, potential customers or the investment community.

40

The occurrence of these or other events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

In addition, our stock price may fluctuate significantly based on announcements by us, TDK Corporation or other third parties regarding the proposed Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquiror.

The Merger Agreement contains “no solicitation” provisions that restrict our ability to solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or induce third party proposals for the acquisition of our common stock or to pursue an unsolicited offer, subject to certain limited exceptions. In addition, TDK Corporation has an opportunity to modify the terms of the Merger in response to any competing acquisition proposals before our Board of Directors may withdraw or change its recommendation with respect to the Merger. Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement to pursue an alternative transaction, including in connection with a “superior proposal”, we will be required to pay $46.7 million as a termination fee. These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquiror from considering or proposing an acquisition transaction, even if it were prepared to pay a higher per share price than what would be received in the Merger. These provisions might also result in a potential third-party acquiror proposing to pay a lower price per share to our stockholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and we determine to seek another business combination, we may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Merger.

Our executive officers and directors have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally.

Our executive officers and members of our Board may be deemed to have interests in the Merger that may be different from or in addition to those of our stockholders, generally. These interests may create potential conflicts of interest. Our Board was aware of these potentially differing interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions thereunder. These interests relate to or arise from, among other things:

• the consideration payable to certain of our executive officers pursuant to retention agreements entered into in connection with the proposed Merger;

• the consideration to be received in respect of equity awards held by our executive officers and directors;

• the acceleration of vesting of equity awards held by our executive officers and directors in connection with the completion of the Merger; and

• the right to continued indemnification and insurance coverage for our executive officers and directors following the completion of the Merger.

We will incur significant costs in connection with the Merger, whether or not it is consummated.

We will incur substantial expenses related to the Merger, whether or not it is completed. We recorded transaction-related costs of $3.0 million in the third quarter ended January 1, 2017, and we anticipate incurring additional costs and expenses until completion of the Merger. In addition, we will incur additional financial advisory fees that are payable upon consummation of the Merger. Finally, we may also be required to pay $46.7 million to TDK Corporation if we terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances. Payment of these expenses by us as a standalone entity would adversely affect our operating results and financial condition and would likely adversely affect our stock price.
