Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Semtech Corporation (“Semtech”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2024 (the “Original 8-K”). This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely for the purpose of updating the description of equity awards granted to Hong Q. Hou in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In the Original 8-K, the Company noted that the equity awards granted to Mr. Hou in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer would be structured as “inducement grants” under applicable listing rules. After further analysis, however, the Company has determined to grant these awards under the Company’s 2017 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan and is consistent with the performance measures applicable to the performance stock units awarded by the Company to its other executive officers for fiscal year 2025.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
