NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Skyworks Solutions, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Skyworks” or the “Company”), is empowering the wireless networking revolution. The Company’s analog and mixed-signal semiconductors are connecting people, places, and things, spanning a number of new applications within the aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, defense, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, smartphone, tablet, and wearable markets.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, in management’s opinion, the financial information reflects all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the Company during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 23, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 27, 2023 (“2022 10-K”). Certain items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, comprehensive income, and accumulated other comprehensive loss that are reported during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Judgment is required in determining the reserves for, and fair value of, items such as overall fair value assessments of assets and liabilities, particularly those classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, marketable securities, inventory, intangible assets associated with business combinations, share-based compensation, revenue reserves, loss contingencies, and income taxes. In addition, judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows for any necessary impairment testing. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to September 30. The fiscal year ending on September 29, 2023 consists of 52 weeks (“fiscal 2023”). The fiscal year ended on September 30, 2022 consisted of 52 weeks (“fiscal 2022”). The three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, and July 1, 2022, consisted of 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company presents net revenue by geographic area, based upon the location of the original equipment manufacturers’ (“OEMs”) headquarters, and by sales channel, as it believes that doing so best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Individually insignificant OEMs are presented based upon the location of the Company’s direct customer, which is typically a distributor.
Net revenue by geographic area is as follows (in millions):

The Company’s revenue from external customers is generated principally from the sale of semiconductor products that facilitate various wireless communication applications. Accordingly, the Company considers its product offerings to be similar in nature and therefore not segregated for reporting purposes.

4. FAIR VALUE
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less-active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
•Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.

(1) Cash equivalents included in Levels 1 and 2 consist of money market funds and corporate bonds and notes, commercial paper, and agency securities purchased with less than ninety days until maturity.
Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets resulting from business combinations, are measured at fair value using income approach valuation methodologies at the date of acquisition and are subsequently re-measured if there are indicators of impairment. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were no indicators of impairment identified. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $17.0 million. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022.
Fair Value of Debt
The Company’s debt is carried at amortized cost and is measured at fair value quarterly for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs as the fair value is based on quoted prices for the Company’s debt and comparable instruments in inactive markets. The carrying value of the Term Loans (as defined below) approximates their fair value as the Term Loans are carried at a market observable interest rate that resets periodically.

7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
There were no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of its fourth fiscal quarter and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. There were no indicators of impairment noted during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
Intangible assets consist of the following (in millions):

Fully amortized intangible assets are eliminated from both the gross and accumulated amortization amounts in the first quarter of each fiscal year. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, $9.5 million of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets were transferred to definite-lived intangible assets, and are being amortized over their useful lives of 12.0 years. Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $51.3 million and $174.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $65.9 million and $211.8 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022, respectively.
Annual amortization expense for the next five fiscal years related to definite-lived intangible assets, excluding IPR&D, is expected to be as follows (in millions):

8. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of the following components (in millions):
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30, 2023 | July 1, 2022 | June 30, 2023 | July 1, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| United States income taxes | $ | 17.5 | $ | 35.8 | $ | 60.0 | $ | 88.5 | |||||||||||||||

| Effective tax rate | 11.8 | % | 14.9 | % | 11.4 | % | 11.9 | % | |||||||||||||||
The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% United States federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, a benefit from foreign-derived intangible income deduction (“FDII”), and research and experimentation and foreign tax credits earned, partially offset by a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), and tax expense related to a change in the reserve for uncertain tax positions. In addition to the aforementioned factors, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% United States federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2022 was due to windfall tax deductions.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company concluded an Internal Revenue Service examination of its federal income tax returns for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”) and the fiscal year ended September 27, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”). The Company agreed to various adjustments to fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 tax returns that resulted in the recognition of tax expense of $1.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental hazards, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment, and contractual matters.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company’s business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims, or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. From time to time the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
The Company monitors the status of legal proceedings and other contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure loss contingencies are recognized and disclosed in its financial statements and footnotes. The Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss. The Company is engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business and, while there can be no assurances, the Company believes the outcome of all pending litigation involving the Company will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business or financial statements.
Guarantees and Indemnities
The Company has made no significant contractual guarantees for the benefit of third parties. However, the Company generally indemnifies its customers from third-party intellectual property infringement litigation claims related to its products and, on occasion, also provides other indemnities related to product sales. In connection with certain facility leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease.
The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The duration of the indemnities varies and in many cases is indefinite. The indemnities to customers in connection with product sales generally are subject to limits based upon the amount of the related product sales and in many cases are subject to geographic and other restrictions. In certain instances, the Company’s indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities in
12
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and does not expect that such obligations will have a material adverse impact on its financial statements.
10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase
On January 31, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program”), pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock from time to time through February 1, 2025, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program succeeds in its entirety the stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors on January 26, 2021 (“January 26, 2021 stock repurchase program”). The timing and amount of any shares of the Company’s common stock that are repurchased under the January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company currently expects to fund the January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program using the Company’s working capital.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock pursuant to the January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid $175.3 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 1.9 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $90.60 per share), all of which shares were repurchased pursuant to the January 26, 2021 stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2023, $2.0 billion remained available under the January 31, 2023 stock repurchase program.
During the three months ended July 1, 2022, the Company paid $119.1 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 1.0 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $119.07 per share). During the nine months ended July 1, 2022, the Company paid $806.5 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 5.7 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $141.30 per share), all of which shares were repurchased pursuant to the January 26, 2021 stock repurchase program.
Dividends
On August 7, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.68 per share. This dividend is payable on September 19, 2023, to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2023.

| Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents | 0.7 | 1.3 | 0.5 | 0.8 | |||||||||||||||||||
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of equity-based awards that were outstanding during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, and July 1, 2022, using the treasury stock method. Shares issuable upon the vesting of performance stock awards are likewise included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of the date the condition(s) have been satisfied, assuming the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period. Certain of the Company’s outstanding share-based awards, noted in the table above, were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but they could become dilutive in the future.

OVERVIEW
We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are empowering the wireless networking revolution. Our highly innovative analog semiconductors are connecting people, places, and things spanning a number of new and previously unimagined applications within the aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, defense, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, smartphone, tablet, and wearable markets.
General
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the following key factors contributed to our overall results of operations, financial position, and cash flows:
•Net revenue decreased to $1,071.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1,232.6 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, driven primarily by a decrease in demand for our mobile products from smartphone customers in the Android ecosystem.
•Our ending cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance decreased to $739.5 million. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities during the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to repayments of debt of $500.0 million, dividend payments of $98.7 million, and capital expenditures of $31.4 million, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $305.6 million.

We market and sell our products directly to OEMs of communications and electronics products, third-party original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers, and indirectly through electronic components distributors. We generally experience seasonal peaks during our fourth and first fiscal quarters (which correspond to the second half of the calendar year), primarily as a result of increased worldwide production of consumer electronics in anticipation of holiday sales, whereas our second and third fiscal quarters are typically lower and in line with seasonal industry trends.
The decrease in net revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2022, was driven primarily by a decrease in demand for our mobile products from smartphone customers in the Android ecosystem.

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of purchased materials, labor, and overhead (including depreciation, share-based compensation expense, and amortization of acquisition intangibles, including inventory step-up expense) associated with product manufacturing. As part of our normal course of business, we intend to improve gross profit with efforts to increase unit volumes, improve manufacturing efficiencies, lower manufacturing costs of existing products, and by introducing new and higher value-added products.
The decrease in gross profit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2022, was primarily the result of lower average selling prices and lower unit volumes with a gross profit impact of $148.7 million and $499.8 million, respectively, partially offset by a favorable product mix with a gross profit impact of $70.6 million and $254.0 million, respectively.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct personnel costs including share-based compensation expense, costs for pre-production evaluation, and testing of new devices, non-production masks, engineering prototypes, and design tool costs.
The decrease in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2022, was primarily related to a decrease in headcount-related expenses.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses include legal and related costs, accounting, treasury, human resources, information systems, customer service, bad debt expense, sales commissions, share-based compensation expense, advertising, marketing, costs associated with business combinations completed or contemplated during the period, and other costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were consistent with selling, general, and administrative expenses for the corresponding period in fiscal 2022. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, was primarily related to a decrease in headcount-related expenses, including share-based compensation.

The decrease in amortization expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2022, was primarily due to reaching the end of the useful lives of certain intangible assets that were acquired in prior fiscal years.

The increase in restructuring, impairment, and other charges for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, was primarily due to employee severance costs. In addition to the aforementioned factor, the increase in restructuring, impairment, and other charges for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, was primarily due to impairment charges on divested assets.

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $26.3 million (which consisted of $17.5 million and $8.8 million related to United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) and $94.6 million (which consisted of $60.0 million and $34.6 million related to United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The decrease in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2022, was primarily due to lower income from operations, partially offset by a current period shortfall in tax deductions for share-based compensation, compared to windfall deductions in the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities:
Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income for the period adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. The $302.5 million increase in cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, was primarily related to favorable changes in working capital of $695.5 million, due primarily to a decrease in accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities:
Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures and cash paid to purchase marketable securities, offset by cash received related to the sale or maturity of marketable securities. The $85.4 million decrease in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, was primarily related to a decrease of $207.5 million in cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase of $118.0 million in the net purchase of marketable securities.
Cash used in financing activities:
Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of proceeds and payments related to our long-term borrowings and cash transactions related to equity. The $7.5 million decrease in cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2022, was primarily related to a decrease of $631.2 million in stock repurchase activity, a decrease of $51.6 million related to the minimum statutory payroll tax withholdings upon vesting of employee performance and restricted stock awards, partially offset by an increase of $650.0 million for the repayment of debt, and an increase of $23.0 million in dividend payments.
Liquidity:
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $739.5 million as of June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $152.7 million from September 30, 2022.
We have outstanding $500.0 million of Notes Due 2026 and $500.0 million of Notes Due 2031 (the “Notes”). As of June 30, 2023, there were $500.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement. The Term Credit Agreement expires July 26, 2024. We have a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) under which we may borrow up to $750.0 million for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2023,
20
there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). The Revolving Credit Agreement expires July 26, 2026. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repaid $500.0 million of Notes Due 2023. In addition to the repayment of the Notes Due 2023, during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we repaid $200.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loans.
Based on our historical results of operations, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand, the cash we expect to generate from operations, and funds from our Revolver, will be sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements primarily arising from: research and development, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, working capital, quarterly cash dividend payments (if such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors), outstanding commitments, and other liquidity requirements associated with existing operations. However, we cannot be certain that our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and funds from our Revolver will be available in the future to fund all of our capital and operating requirements. In addition, any future strategic investments and significant acquisitions may require additional cash and capital resources. If we are unable to obtain sufficient cash or capital to meet our needs on a timely basis and on favorable terms, our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our invested cash balances primarily consist of highly liquid marketable securities that are available to meet near-term cash requirements including: money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities, corporate debt securities, and commercial paper.
Our contractual obligations disclosure in the 2022 10-K has not materially changed since we filed that report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to overall financial market risks, such as changes in market liquidity, credit quality, investment risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk as described below.
Investment and Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate and general market risks relates to our Term Loan Facility, which has variable interest rates, and our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2023, there were $500.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement, and a potential change in the associated interest rates would be immaterial to the results of our operations. Our investment portfolio consists of cash and cash equivalents (money market funds and marketable securities purchased with less than ninety days until maturity) that total approximately $721.6 million, and marketable securities (U.S. Treasury and government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and municipal bonds) that total approximately $14.9 million and $3.0 million within short-term and long-term marketable securities, respectively, as of June 30, 2023.
The main objectives of our investment activities are liquidity and preservation of capital. Our cash equivalent investments have short-term maturity periods that dampen the impact of market or interest rate risk. Our marketable securities have short-term maturity periods less than one year. Credit risk associated with our investments is not material because our investments are diversified across several types of securities with high credit ratings, which reduces the amount of credit exposure to any one investment.
Based on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, a hypothetical reduction in the interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents, and other investments to zero would result in an immaterial reduction of interest income with a de minimis impact on income before taxes.
We do not believe that investment or interest rate risks currently pose material exposures to our business or results of operations.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Substantially all sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in United States dollars, thereby reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our results. A percentage of our international operational expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, and exchange rate volatility could positively or negatively impact those operating costs. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Given the relatively small number of customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers denominated in foreign currencies, we do not believe that foreign exchange volatility has a material impact on our current business or results of operations. However, fluctuations in
21
currency exchange rates could have a greater effect on our business or results of operations in the future to the extent our expenses increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies.
We may enter into foreign currency forward and options contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed transactions, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. However, we may choose not to hedge certain foreign exchange exposures for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward or options contracts with financial institutions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There are no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(2) Represents shares repurchased by us at the fair market value of the common stock as of the applicable purchase date, in connection with the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations under equity award agreements.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Director and Officer Trading Arrangements:
A significant portion of the compensation of our directors and officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) is in the form of equity awards and, from time to time, directors and officers engage in open-market transactions with respect to the securities acquired pursuant to such equity awards or our other securities, including to satisfy tax withholding obligations when equity awards vest or are exercised, and for diversification or other personal reasons.
Transactions in our securities by directors and officers are required to be made in accordance with our insider trading policy, which requires that the transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables directors and officers to prearrange transactions in our securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information.
23
The following table describes contracts, instructions or written plans for the sale or purchase of our securities adopted by our directors and officers during the quarter covered by this report that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) (a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”):
