Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 11, 2023, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of Cirrus Logic, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) Board of Directors approved the request of the Company’s CEO, John Forsyth, to reduce his base salary, effective immediately, by 10% from $728,000 to $655,200. Mr. Forsyth voluntarily requested this reduction in acknowledgement of the workforce reduction described in Item 7.01 immediately below. The Committee may review, change, or end such reduction at its discretion in the future.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 12, 2023, the Company notified its employees that it has implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 5% of its global employees. This action was taken in response to overall market conditions and the impact related to a new product previously scheduled for introduction this fall no longer being expected to come to market as planned, which the Company previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 19, 2023. The Company continues to take steps to improve operational efficiency through product prioritization, targeted investments in R&D, and continued leverage in SG&A. The Company expects to recognize charges related to this workforce reduction in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.
The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of, or otherwise regarded as filed under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
