Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement for Certain Officers.
On February 25, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (the “Company”) approved an increase in base annual salary for certain executive officers of the Company, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Name | Title | Current Annual Base Salary | New Annual Base Salary | Effective Date |
| Stephen Chang | President | $295,000 | $351,000 | March 1, 2021 |
| Yifan Liang | Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary | $340,000 | $351,000 | July 1, 2021 |
| Bing Xue | Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development | $295,000 | $327,000 | March 1, 2021 |
The base salary of Dr. Mike F. Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, did not change and will remain at $467,352.
Also on February 25, 2021, the Committee approved an incentive cash bonus plan (the “Plan”) for the calendar year commencing January 1, 2021, pursuant to which each eligible executive officer of the Company will receive an incentive award based on the level of attainment of specified Company performance goals. The aggregate amount of the award will be determined based on the level of attainment of a range of non-GAAP earnings per share and revenue for the year. A specified minimum amount of each of the non-GAAP earnings per share and revenue goals must be achieved before payment of an award under the Plan. The actual aggregate amount of the award earned by an executive officer for the calendar year will range from $0 to the maximum amount established for that officer depending on the level of attainment of the performance goals. Assuming the minimum performance goals as described above have been achieved, the minimum, target and maximum bonus payable to each executive officer of the Company (as a percentage of base salary) are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Name | Title | Minimum Bonus | Target Bonus | Maximum Bonus |
| Mike F. Chang | Chairman and Chief Executive Officer | 20% | 100% | 220% |
| Stephen Chang | President | 16% | 80% | 176% |
| Yifan Liang | Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary | 14% | 70% | 143% |
| Bing Xue | Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development | 14% | 70% | 143% |
Any earned bonus will be paid by March 18, 2022 in cash, common shares of the Company or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee subject to the executive officer’s continued service through the payment date.
The description of the Plan above is only a summary and qualified in its entirety by the Plan, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2021 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
