Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. As permitted by SEC rules, we are making this proxy statement and our 2024 Annual Report available to our shareholders electronically via the Internet. On or about June 26, 2024, we mailed to our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our 2024 Annual Report and vote online. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you specifically request them.

FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG)

Innovation with purpose is the driving force behind everything we do at Allegro, including our commitment to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives across the Company. Our ESG strategy revolves around five signature initiatives: (1) maximizing the positive impact of our products, (2) minimizing our impact on the planet, (3) building a diverse and innovative workforce, (4) engaging our supply chain to advance sustainability, and (5) cultivating opportunities in our local communities. By striving to operate responsibly across all facets of our business, we aim to generate long-term value for our ecosystem of employees, customers, supply chain partners, and shareholders.

We are moving the world toward a safer, more sustainable future.

Our ESG strategy aligns with our core values and our commitment to innovate with purpose.

Guided by our core values, we are committed to innovation with purpose.

Our sensor and power semiconductors address critical global challenges related to energy efficiency, vehicle emissions, and clean and renewable energy. We apply our deep technology know-how to deliver magnetic sensing integrated circuits (“ICs”) and power IC solutions to:

We possess a long track record of innovations that have measurably improved the energy efficiency of powertrain, safety and comfort systems.

Two key technologies contributing to avoided emissions in automotive applications are our onboard chargers and DC/DC converters in xEV powertrain, as well as electric power steering (“EPS”) systems enablement. For xEV powertrain, current sensor ICs and high-voltage gate driver ICs enhance vehicle efficiency by reducing ohmic losses and enabling use of GaN or SiC transistors. For EPS, a combination of up to 15 ICs per car enables EPS systems to save upwards of 12 gallons of gas per vehicle per year compared to hydraulic steering systems.

These two technologies in automotive applications have resulted in an estimated cumulative avoided emissions of 8.9 million tons* of CO2 since the beginning of calendar year 2021 through the end of 2023. This number is expected to continue to grow as a result of the projected growth in the hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle (“EV”) markets.

Additionally, Allegro’s speed-sensor ICs were used to create the first speed and direction crank sensor for stop/start engine control. These sensors are used to control a variety of functions, including a fuel injection and ignition timing function that increases the efficiency of a vehicle’s gasoline use in miles per gallon by approximately five percent.

* Estimated avoided emissions based on vehicles sold with Allegro products and U.S. Department of Energy data for emissions produced/reduced. Sources included: U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center: Emissions from Electric Vehicles (https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html), Automotive News Europe: Electric Steering turns on the Power (https://europe.autonews.com/article/20080303/ANE03/237416432/electric-steering-turns-on-the-power), and market data provided by Strategy Analytics Powered by TechInsights.

Sustainability is at the forefront of Allegro’s approach to semiconductor design and manufacturing. We strive to integrate sustainable practices throughout our supply chain and operations, prioritizing responsible resource use and fostering thriving local communities. Our commitment to social responsibility extends across our supply chain, accompanied by an effort to provide transparent disclosure of the environmental impact of our business activities. By embedding sustainability into many aspects of our processes, we strive to minimize our ecological footprint while upholding ethical business standards.

Additional information on the environmental policies and the codes of conduct listed below can be found on the “Sustainability” section of our website, allegromicro.com/en/about-allegro/corporate-responsibility/sustainability.

At Allegro, we pursue innovation with purpose, and our success stems from the dedication, talent, and commitment of our employees. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and globally collaborative environment that fuels our innovation. We invest in the growth and development of our existing employees while actively recruiting new talent from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences across all functions and geographies. The diversity within our teams, coupled with individuals’ unique ideas and contributions, empowers us to work cohesively toward achieving Allegro’s vision and mission.

We are committed to cultivating a diverse workforce comprised of individuals with different backgrounds, passions and skill sets as we collaborate to innovate with purpose. We understand that a holistic commitment to diversity necessitates more than recruiting a diverse range of talent – it requires the cultivation of a workforce that is safe, creative and collaborative and where there are equitable opportunities for every employee. In fiscal year 2024, Allegro’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DEI”) Council provided comprehensive DEI education and specific annual training on topics such as unconscious bias, inclusive language and microaggressions. The DEI Council also focused on examining equitable hiring practices and providing interview training. We also established a third employee resource group, Veterans@Allegro, joining Women@Allegro and Early@Allegro. We have organizational metrics to monitor senior leadership, management, hiring and technical hiring by gender globally. We measure our population and hiring by race and ethnicity in the U.S.

Additionally:

Our employees form the core of our organization, and we are committed to nurturing their passions, philanthropic endeavors, and community engagements, while prioritizing the well-being of Allegro employees and their families. While our vision is global, we empower our teams to drive local impact where they live and work. This localized approach is a key component of one of our ESG signature initiatives, aimed at supporting and uplifting our communities through cultivating opportunities for their betterment and advancement. We take pride in supporting the causes championed by our employees and matching their charitable contributions. Some of our community-focused programs include:

Our ESG Steering Committee leads our sustainability efforts and has executive sponsorship from our SVP, General Counsel and Secretary. The ESG Steering Committee is a cross-functional team comprised of leaders and subject matter experts from across the Company that collaborates with our full-time ESG team to manage and oversee communications about sustainability topics with employees, investors, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. In addition, the committee works to monitor and assess our sustainability developments and to expand our awareness of ESG priorities by fostering a culture of commitment to sustainability within Allegro. As part of this work, they consider current and emerging ESG trends that may affect the Company or are otherwise relevant to our organization and stakeholders and make recommendations for how we can address these trends to ensure compliance and the success of our forward-looking initiatives.

On a quarterly basis, senior management reports on key ESG activities to the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCGC”). The NCGC provides direct oversight on ESG initiatives and reviews regular updates on our ESG strategy. Each year, our Board dedicates one of their scheduled meetings to matters related to the governance and promotion of ESG topics and initiatives at Allegro. The Board is engaged in our ESG strategy and involved in instituting a formal accountability process for our five goals that help inform our ESG strategy: maximize the positive impact of our products; minimize our impact on the planet; engage our supply chain to advance sustainability; build a diverse and innovative workforce; and cultivate opportunities in local communities.

Allegro appointed two accomplished women leaders to its Board in the last nine months. With these additions, three of our 11 Board members are women. This strategic move reflects the Company’s commitment to fostering equity and diversity at all levels of the organization, which aligns with our broader ESG objectives.

Additionally, Allegro formalized its enterprise risk management (ERM) program in fiscal year 2024 to systematically identify and manage the top risks facing the Company, including any ESG risks. Launching the ERM program involved compiling a risk register, evaluating risks based on impact/likelihood, and designing a program to assign risk owners to implement mitigation plans and regularly engage in formal risk review sessions. Under the ERM program, risks are reported quarterly to the Board’s Audit Committee and annually to the Board. An annual risk register review will be conducted to reassess the established baseline. This structured ERM program enables proactive risk management across the company.

Cybersecurity

Our cybersecurity program seeks to foster Allegro employees’ understanding of how and why they must remain vigilant in promoting comprehensive data protection throughout the Company. When it comes to data protection, we know it is up to all of us to do our part to keep Allegro and other stakeholders safe. We also have incident response procedures in place and are compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By maintaining these procedures and a posture of vigilance, we collectively work to protect Allegro employees, data, and resources and promote a culture of data protection throughout the Company. Additionally, our VP, Chief Digital and Information Officer briefs the Board’s Audit Committee quarterly on cybersecurity matters and the Board periodically and as needed.

The Allegro cybersecurity team strives to provide the tools and education required to accomplish our cybersecurity goals. They provide training programs to our employees, host regular awareness campaigns about Company information security policies and security practices, disseminate tips and how-to information, and provide employees with a centralized digital

cybersecurity portal. We host cybersecurity trainings for our employees. We also routinely conduct unplanned phishing tests.

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information, and our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall ERM program. Our cybersecurity team has the duty of carrying out cybersecurity risk assessments to our critical systems and information on a regular basis. The results from risk assessment activities are reviewed to prioritize the mitigation of identified risks, and the need for risk mitigation may influence business or operational strategy, project roadmaps and timelines, or other decision-making, as needed.

In fiscal year 2024, Allegro’s cybersecurity and legal teams engaged in a comprehensive review of the Company’s incident response capabilities and adopted a new cybersecurity incident response plan. The response plan establishes clear guidelines and procedures to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. Additionally, we have retained outside advisors to assist us in conducting tabletop exercises to evaluate our incident response plan and response capabilities, with our most recent tabletop exercises for our core incident response team and for senior management taking place in early 2024.

Underscoring our commitment to robust cybersecurity practices and data protection, Allegro pursued TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) certification in fiscal year 2024 and is currently pending formal certification.

We intend to monitor our activities and achievements in these areas and report on them on our ESG webpage located at allegromicro.com/en/about-allegro/corporate-responsibility. We encourage our employees, community members, shareholders and other stakeholders to check this webpage for updates as we work to further our efforts and realize important results in these critical areas. References to websites or policies in this proxy statement are provided for reference and general information only, and the contents of such websites or policies are not incorporated by reference into this filing.

This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements contained in this proxy statement, particularly pertaining to our ESG performance, goals, and initiatives, are subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including regarding gathering and verification of information and related methodological considerations; our ability to implement various initiatives under expected timeframes, cost, and complexity; our dependency on third-parties to provide certain information and to comply with applicable laws and policies; and other unforeseen events or conditions. These factors, as well as others, may cause results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements.

Additionally, our discussion of various items herein, including our discussion of ESG matters, may include information that is not necessarily “material” under the federal securities laws for SEC reporting purposes. For many ESG matters, this is informed by various ESG standards and frameworks (including standards for the measurement of underlying data), and the interests of various stakeholders. Much of this information is subject to assumptions, estimates or third-party information that is still evolving and subject to change. Our disclosures or underlying methodologies may evolve as well, including our methodologies for measuring and reporting on avoided emissions, and we cannot guarantee that our approach will align with the preferences of any particular stakeholder. For example, our disclosures based on any standards may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability or quality of information, changes in our business or applicable government policies, or other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. We also expressly disclaim any duty to update disclosures if our information or methodologies change in the future, except as expressly required by law.

If you are a beneficial holder with shares that are held in “street name” through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank, broker, or other nominee.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee, or you may vote online at the Annual Meeting.

A representative of Computershare will act as Inspector of Elections, supervise the voting, decide the validity of proxies, and receive and tabulate proxies. As a matter of policy, we keep confidential all shareholder meeting proxies, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders. In addition, the vote of any shareholder is not disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. See “Recommendations of the Board” above. For beneficial holders, proxies submitted without voting instructions could result in broker non-votes for certain matters. See “What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?” below for additional information.

We do not know of any other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the shareholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card will have the discretionary authority to vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.

In order to make the meeting accessible to all shareholders, our Board has decided to hold a virtual Annual Meeting. With this live, online webcast format, we believe we will provide our shareholders with substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting.

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Please note, Internet Explorer is not a supported browser. Participants should ensure that they have a strong WiFi connection at the location where they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. If you need further assistance accessing the meeting, you may call 1-888-724-2416.

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposals regarding the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm and the approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation represent a shareholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on such proposal. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of PwC or the approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation.

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker: (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner; and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors and the approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation. Broker non-votes do count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting, and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

We currently have 11 directors on our Board. At the Annual Meeting, four Class I Directors, Katsumi Kawashima, Joseph R. Martin, Vineet Nargolwala and Mary G. Puma, are to be elected to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until each such director’s respective successor is elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

As set forth in our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the successors to directors with expiring terms will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. The current class structure is as follows: Class I, whose term currently expires at the Annual Meeting and whose subsequent term will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; Class II, whose term will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and Class III, whose term will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The current Class I Directors are Katsumi Kawashima, Joseph R. Martin, Vineet Nargolwala and Mary G. Puma; the current Class II Directors are Yoshihiro (Zen) Suzuki, David J. Aldrich, Kojiro (Koji) Hatano and Paul Carl (Chip) Schorr IV; and the current Class III Directors are Richard R. Lury, Susan D. Lynch and Jennie M. Raubacher. In preparation for the initial public offering of our Common Stock in 2020 (the “IPO”), we entered into a stockholders agreement with Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. (“Sanken”) and OEP SKNA, L.P. (the “OEP Investor”), a fund affiliated with One Equity Partners (“OEP”). The stockholders agreement was amended and restated by the parties as of June 16, 2022 (as amended and restated, the “Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the rights provided in the Stockholders Agreement, Messrs. Hatano, Kawashima and Lury were each designated by Sanken, and Mary G. Puma was jointly designated by Sanken and the OEP Investor. The OEP Investor’s rights to nominate directors under the Stockholders Agreement passed to the NCGC in February 2024 when the OEP Investor ceased to beneficially own at least five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, the NCGC designated the other members of the Board. Based on Sanken’s aggregate voting power, we expect that Sanken will control the election of directors to the Board. For more information regarding the Stockholders Agreement, see “Corporate Governance—Stockholders Agreement” on page 29.

The division of our Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, however, that the directors who were originally designated for nomination in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement may be removed with or without cause, but only in accordance with, and to the extent provided by, the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares of Common Stock represented thereby for the election of each of Messrs. Kawashima, Martin and Nargolwala and Ms. Puma as a Class I Director. In the event that any of the nominees should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board has no reason to believe that any of Messrs. Kawashima, Martin or Nargolwala or Ms. Puma will be unable to serve if elected. Each of the nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Vote Required

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors.

Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Nominees For Class I Director (terms to expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting)

The principal occupations and business experience, for at least the past five years, of each Class I Director nominee for election at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

Continuing members of the Board:

The principal occupations and business experience, for at least the past five years, of each Class II Director (terms expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting) and Class III Director (terms expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting) are as follows:

Class II Directors

Class III Directors

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2025. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our shareholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of PwC is not required, we value the opinions of our shareholders and believe that shareholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

PwC has been engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm since June 7, 2022, including for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024. Prior to that, Grant Thornton LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm, including for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2022. Neither of the accounting firms nor any of either firm’s members have any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. We expect representatives of PwC to be present at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of PwC will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

In the event that the appointment of PwC is not ratified by the shareholders, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm, but it will not be obligated to do so. Even if the appointment of PwC is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the best interest of the Company.

Changes in Certifying Accountant

On June 7, 2022, our Audit Committee dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Grant Thornton LLP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2022, and the report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through June 7, 2022, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference thereto in Grant Thornton LLP’s reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We previously provided Grant Thornton LLP with a copy of the above disclosures, as included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2022, and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Grant Thornton LLP agreed with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP’s letter, dated June 9, 2022, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to that Current Report on Form 8-K.

On June 7, 2022, our Audit Committee approved the engagement of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through June 7, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or (iii) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. Abstentions are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of PwC, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on the Company’s Executive Compensation

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the overall compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the “Executive and Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement. This advisory vote is commonly referred to as “say-on-pay.”

A substantial percentage of our named executive officers’ compensation is directly tied to stock performance and the attainment of financial and other performance measures the Board believes promote long-term shareholder value and position us for long-term success. As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the mix of fixed and performance-based compensation, the terms of our incentive compensation programs, and the weighting of variable compensation more heavily toward equity awards, are all designed to enable us to attract and retain top talent and align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, while balancing risk and reward. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe the design of the programs, and the compensation awarded to the named executive officers under the current programs, fulfills these objectives.

Although the vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully consider the outcome of the vote in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company’s compensation programs. We currently intend to hold say-on-pay votes on executive compensation annually until the next vote to determine the frequency of such an advisory vote in 2028. Accordingly, we anticipate the next say-on-pay vote will be held at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

We are asking our shareholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers by voting “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non‑votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024 and has discussed these financial statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accountants the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024.

The Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and it shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES AND OTHER MATTERS

The following table summarizes the fees of PwC, our independent registered public accounting firm, billed to us for each of the last two fiscal years:

Audit Fees

Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services performed by PwC for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of quarterly financial statements and audit services provided in connection with other statutory or regulatory filings.

Audit-Related Fees

Audit-related fees consist of services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and related services and which are not reported under “Audit Fees”. Audit-related fees in fiscal year 2024 were for professional services associated with acquisition due diligence.

Tax Fees

Tax fees consist of services for tax compliance and consulting.

All Other Fees

All other fees consist of license fees for an accounting research software license.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accountants.

On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of services for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent registered public accountants. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services as compared to the approved amounts. The Audit Committee may also delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a subcommittee consisting of one or more members, provided that such pre-approvals are reported on at a subsequent Audit Committee meeting. All services performed for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and charters for our NCGC, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Strategy Committee to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company. You can access our current committee charters, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters” in the investor relations section of our corporate website located at investors.allegromicro.com, or by writing to our Secretary at our offices at 955 Perimeter Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, 03103.

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board currently consists of 11 members: Vineet Nargolwala, Yoshihiro (Zen) Suzuki, David J. Aldrich, Kojiro (Koji) Hatano, Katsumi Kawashima, Richard R. Lury, Susan D. Lynch, Joseph R. Martin, Mary G. Puma, Jennie M. Raubacher and Paul Carl (Chip) Schorr IV. Our Board is divided into three classes, with the directors in each class serving for a three-year term, and one class being elected each year by our shareholders.

When considering whether directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills, taken as a whole, to enable our Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, our Board focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience, as reflected in the information discussed in each director’s individual biography set forth in Proposal One above and in the director skills and experience matrix set forth below. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business.

Board Skills and Experience Matrix

The NCGC regularly reviews the skills, experience and background that it believes are desirable to be represented on the Board. The following identifies some of these key qualifications and skills and includes which directors possess these skills: board skills and experience matrix experience, skills or director) automotive industry senior management (public or private) finance / accounting international business legal/ regulatory / compliance corporate governance and public company board semiconductor / technology industries sales & marketing operations / manufacturing / supply chain esg / climate / sustainability key no experience some experience substantial experience expert-level experience

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with our IPO, we entered into a stockholders agreement with certain stockholders of the Company, including Sanken and the OEP Investor. The stockholders agreement was amended and restated by the parties as of June 16, 2022 (the amended and restated agreement is referred to in this proxy statement as the “Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the parties agreed that:

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Sanken generally has the right to remove and replace directors that it has designated. Each of Sanken and the OEP Investor also agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, all of their outstanding shares of our Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of shareholders in which directors are elected, and to otherwise take all necessary action (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) so as to cause the election or appointment of the designees described above. Additionally, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Company has agreed to take all commercially reasonable actions to cause (1) our Board to be comprised of the number of directors described above; (2) the individuals designated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to be included in the slate of nominees to be elected at the next annual or special meeting of our shareholders at which directors are to be elected, and at each annual meeting of our shareholders thereafter at which a director’s term expires; and (3) the individuals designated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to fill the applicable vacancies on our Board. The Stockholders Agreement allows for our Board to reject the nomination, appointment or election of a particular director if such nomination, appointment or election would constitute a breach of the Board’s fiduciary duties to our shareholders or does not otherwise comply with any requirements of our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement provides Sanken with a consent right (subject to certain ownership minimums) over our entry into any transaction with the OEP Investor, any of their respective affiliates or any of our affiliates. The Stockholders Agreement also includes a covenant between Sanken and the OEP Investor that gives the OEP Investor the right to require Sanken to vote all of its shares in favor of any matter that our Board has determined is advisable and in the best interests of the shareholders and has recommended that the shareholders adopt. The Stockholders Agreement further provides that neither Sanken nor the OEP Investor will directly sell a portion of its Common Stock representing greater than 10% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock to a material competitor of the Company or of the other shareholder in a privately negotiated sale solely between such selling shareholder and such competitor, without the prior written consent of the OEP Investor (in the case of a sale by Sanken) or Sanken (in the case of a sale by the OEP Investor).

The Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) each of (i) Sanken and its affiliates and (ii) the OEP Investor and its affiliates ceasing to own any shares of our Common Stock, and (b) the unanimous written consent of the parties thereto. In addition, the rights and obligations of Sanken and the OEP Investor under the Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon Sanken and its affiliates (in the case of Sanken) or the OEP Investor and its affiliates (in the case of the OEP Investor) ceasing to own any shares of our Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the OEP Investor and its affiliates cease to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, any right or benefit to which the OEP Investor was entitled as a result of holding at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock automatically became a right or benefit of the NCGC for so long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect, and the NCGC has the right to enforce any such rights or benefits mutatis mutandis as though it were the OEP Investor under any applicable provision (but without regard to any share ownership requirements set forth therein), leaving all of Sanken’s and the Company’s obligations in respect of any such provisions in full force and effect. Further, if the OEP Investor ceases to own any shares of Common Stock, the Stockholders Agreement shall remain in effect, and all other rights and obligations of the OEP Investor and its affiliates shall automatically become a right or obligation of the NCGC for so long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect, and the NCGC shall have the right to enforce any such rights mutatis mutandis as though it were the OEP Investor under any applicable provision, and accordingly all of Sanken’s and the Company’s obligations in respect of any such provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Director Independence

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). Under Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if that company’s board of directors affirmatively determines that such person does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Our Board undertook a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that none of David J. Aldrich, Richard R. Lury, Susan D. Lynch, Joseph R. Martin, Mary G. Puma and Jennie M. Raubacher, representing six of our 11 directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq rules. Additionally, Paul Carl (Chip) Schorr IV was independent during fiscal year 2024, and Andrew G. Dunn was independent during the period he served on the Board in fiscal year 2024.

In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including their beneficial ownership of our capital stock and relationships with certain of our significant shareholders, and the transactions involving them described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

Director Candidates

Other than director candidates designated by Sanken pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the NCGC is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the NCGC may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The NCGC may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the NCGC reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence

from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the NCGC for candidates for election as a director. Mary Puma, who was elected to the Board in October 2024 and jointly designated by Sanken and the OEP Investor under the Stockholders Agreement, was identified as a potential director candidate and presented to the NCGC and the Board by a third-party recruiting firm, which was engaged by the NCGC to assist the NCGC in (i) identifying director candidates that meet the Company’s director qualifications set forth below, (ii) coordinating interviews with those qualified candidates selected by the NCGC for further consideration, and (iii) completing the due diligence work of the NCGC, as needed. Once identified as a candidate, the NCGC evaluated Ms. Puma following the process described below and recommended that she be elected to the Board.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the NCGC, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors, including: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; the categories of skills and experience identified in the director skills and experience matrix; strong finance experience; relevant social policy concerns; experience relevant to the Company’s industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of the Company’s operations; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other Board members; diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the NCGC may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.

Shareholders may recommend individuals to the NCGC for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the NCGC, c/o Secretary, Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., 955 Perimeter Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, 03103. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the NCGC will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Communications from Shareholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by shareholders and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from shareholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as our Secretary considers appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Secretary considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs or personal grievances. Shareholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors in writing: c/o Secretary, Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. 955 Perimeter Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, 03103.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Currently, the roles are separated, with Yoshihiro Suzuki serving as Chairman of the Board and Vineet Nargolwala serving as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director. Our Board has determined that separating the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the strategic management of our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman to focus on leading the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and independently overseeing, management. The Board recognizes the time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to the position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman. The Board believes that having separate positions, with a non-executive director serving as the Chairman, is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company at this time and allows the Board to fulfill its role with appropriate independence. For these reasons and because

of the strong leadership of Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Nargolwala, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time.

However, our Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that whenever our Chairman of the Board is also a member of management or is a director that does not otherwise qualify as an independent director, the independent directors may elect a lead director. The Board does not currently have a lead director.

Our Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. Our Board is responsible for overseeing our risk management process. Our Board focuses on our general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing us, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. Our Audit Committee is also responsible for discussing our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to accounting matters and financial reporting. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. Our NCGC is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our Board and potential conflicts of interest. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through discussions with committee members and regular reports from management about such risks, as well as the actions taken by management to adequately address those risks.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions). A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters.” In addition, we have or intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

Attendance by Members of the Board at Meetings

There were five meetings of the full Board during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, not including special meetings convened in which only a subset of the Board were invited participants. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters,” a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and all committees on which the director serves (including separate meetings of the non-management and independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is expected to notify the Chairman of the Board or the chair of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an in-person meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, it is expected that directors will attend, absent compelling circumstances. The 2023 virtual annual meeting was attended by Messrs. Suzuki, Aldrich, Hatano, Kawashima and Nargolwala and Ms. Lynch.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Our Board has established four standing committees — Audit, Compensation, NCGC, and Strategy — each of which operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board.

The current members of each of the Board committees and committee chairs are set forth in the following chart.

* Does not include special committee meetings convened for specific purposes

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:

In addition to the foregoing, the Audit Committee is responsible under our Whistleblower Policy for receiving reports on and evaluating reported concerns, not just those related to accounting, auditing or internal controls.

The Audit Committee charter is available on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters.” The members of the Audit Committee are Joseph R. Martin, Susan D. Lynch, and Jennie M. Raubacher. Mr. Martin serves as the chair of the Audit Committee. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Martin and Mses. Lynch and Raubacher qualifies as an “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq rules.

The members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable Nasdaq rules. In addition, our Board has determined that each of Mr. Martin and Mses. Lynch and Raubacher qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers, including the compensation of the named executive officers identified on page 37 of this proxy statement. Our Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include:

Under its charter, the Compensation Committee may form, and delegate authority to, subcommittees, as appropriate. To the extent permitted by and consistent with applicable law and the provisions of a given equity-based plan, the Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the power to grant options or other stock or other equity-based awards pursuant to equity-based plan to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company who are not officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) or directors of the Company. The Compensation Committee may consider, in its discretion, the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations when making decisions regarding the compensation of non-employee directors and executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer). Pursuant to the Compensation Committee’s charter, which is available on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters,” the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. In the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”) to provide guidance in reviewing our executive compensation program, including the composition of our peer group. Meridian consulted with the members of our management regarding various aspects of executive and director compensation, including with respect to our long-term incentive program.

The members of our Compensation Committee are David J. Aldrich, Richard R. Lury and Mary G. Puma. Mr. Aldrich serves as the chair of the Compensation Committee. Our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Aldrich and Lury and Ms. Puma qualifies as an “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Compensation Committee under Nasdaq rules, including the additional independence considerations for members of a compensation committee, and are “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During all or a portion of our fiscal year ending March 29, 2024, Richard R. Lury, Mary G. Puma and Paul Carl (Chip) Schorr IV served on our Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, no such member of our Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of the Company, was formerly an officer of the Company or had related person transactions with the Company that required disclosure. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2024, none of the Company’s executive officers served on the board of directors or the compensation committee of any other entity that had one or more of its executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our NCGC’s responsibilities include:

Pursuant to the NCGC charter, which is available on our investor relations website at investors.allegromicro.com in the “Governance” section under “Documents & Charters,” the NCGC has the authority to retain or obtain the advice of independent legal counsel and other advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. The NCGC leads a biennial evaluation of our Board and its committees. The next evaluation of the Board and its committees is scheduled to place in fiscal year 2025.

The members of the NCGC are Richard R. Lury, David J. Aldrich and Joseph R. Martin. Mr. Lury serves as the chair of the NCGC. Our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Aldrich, Lury and Martin qualifies as an “independent director” under Nasdaq rules.

Executive Summary

2024 Business Results

Allegro delivered record fiscal year 2024 sales of more than $1 billion, a company first, representing 8% year-over-year growth. We also achieved record level design wins of more than $1 billion. E-Mobility, which includes the increasing electrification of vehicles and higher adoption of advanced driver assistance systems and features, continues to drive Allegro’s above-market growth and accounted for more than half of fiscal year 2024 design wins. Emphasizing our ongoing commitment to innovation, since our IPO, we kicked off a record number of products in fiscal year 2024, while introducing over thirty new products to the market, including initial products in our Power-ThruTM isolated gate driver portfolio. We also extended our leadership position in magnetic sensing with our acquisition of Crocus Technology International Corp. and are seeing strong interest from customers for our highly differentiated XtremeSenseTM TMR technology.

The following sets forth certain details of our financial results for fiscal year 2024 and the returns delivered to shareholders, compared to certain benchmarks, for fiscal year 2024 and the year-over-year change from fiscal year 2023:

The following compares, for the period beginning October 29, 2020, the initial trading date of our Common Stock on Nasdaq, and ending on March 29, 2024, the last day of our fiscal year 2024, the cumulative total stockholder return for our Common Stock, the Nasdaq Composite Index and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (the “SOX Index”), and assumes reinvestment of any dividends. The shareholder return in the table below is not necessarily indicative of, nor is it intended to forecast, the potential future performance of our Common Stock, and we do not make or endorse any predictions as to future shareholder returns. We selected these comparative groups due to industry similarities and the fact that they include several direct competitors.

Important 2024 Compensation Actions

Our Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, sets the compensation of our NEOs. In fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee took the following actions with respect to the compensation of our NEOs:

As illustrated below, our executive compensation program utilizes annual and long-term incentive awards, including awards that are contingent on Company performance relative to our key performance metrics. The pay mix charts set forth below are based on target compensation and include annualized base salary, target annual bonus under the AIP, and annual long-term equity-based awards at target.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The overall objective of our compensation program is to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term value for our stakeholders. We pursue this objective via:

Compensation Governance and Best Practices

We are committed to maintaining strong governance standards with respect to our compensation programs, procedures, and practices. For example:

Role of the Compensation Committee, Compensation Consultant and Management

In setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers a number of factors, including the CEO’s recommendations (other than with respect to his own compensation), the recommendations and competitive market data and analysis provided by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, Company performance and each executive’s impact on that performance, each executive’s relative scope of responsibility and potential, each executive’s individual performance and demonstrated leadership, and each executive’s professional experience and tenure with the Company. The Compensation Committee also considers prior fiscal year adjustments to executive compensation, historical payments under our AIP and our historical equity award grant practices. The Compensation Committee has the final authority to approve annual compensation packages for all executives, with the exception of the compensation for the CEO, which the Compensation Committee recommends to the non-employee members of the Board for approval.

Prior to the start of each fiscal year, we develop Company performance metrics aligned with our annual operating plan for our employees, including our NEOs. These goals represent key performance objectives that are incorporated into the AIP framework and then submitted to the Compensation Committee for consideration and approval. After our fiscal year-end financial results are available, the Compensation Committee approves annual bonus payout amounts under our AIP for our executives for the just-completed fiscal year, with the exception of the annual bonus payout amount for the CEO, which the Compensation Committee recommends to the non-employee members of the Board for approval.

The Compensation Committee has engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide research and analysis and to make recommendations on the form and level of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee sought input from Meridian on executive compensation matters for the 2024 fiscal year, including the design and competitive position of our executive compensation program, our peer group (see below for additional information on our peer group), appropriate compensation levels, and evolving compensation trends.

Based on its consideration of the various factors set forth in the rules promulgated by the SEC and Nasdaq rules, the Compensation Committee has determined that the work performed by Meridian has not raised any conflict of interest.

Competitive Positioning

We perform a competitive market analysis of our executive compensation programs annually and director compensation programs biennially to ensure that the total compensation packages of our executive officers and the eligible, non-employee members of our Board are within a reasonably competitive range of companies of similar industry, size and complexity. In connection with its fiscal year 2024 compensation actions and decisions, the Compensation Committee considered a competitive market analysis prepared by Meridian in February of 2023 (see below for more information on the competitive market analysis). The Meridian analysis determined that the NEOs’ target cash compensation, comprised of annual base salary, plus annual target bonus under the AIP, was in aggregate below the 50th percentile relative to competitive market data in the aggregate. The analysis also found that the grant date fair values of equity incentive awards that we granted during fiscal year 2023 were also below the 50th percentile in aggregate.

The Compensation Committee considered these results in its compensation program decision-making for fiscal year 2024.

Competitive Market Analysis

In February 2023, Meridian conducted a competitive market analysis to support the Compensation Committee in connection with its executive and non-employee director compensation decisions for fiscal year 2024. To develop an understanding of the competitive marketplace, the Compensation Committee reviewed the executive compensation practices of a group of publicly traded companies based on compensation data gathered from publicly available filings. Meridian worked with the Compensation Committee to review and select the Company’s peer group.

In determining the peer group to be utilized in making compensation decisions for fiscal year 2024 (the “Peer Group”), the Compensation Committee and Meridian reviewed and considered factors such as industry, total revenue, market

capitalization, growth, and profitability margins. The Peer Group was selected based on the evaluation of all of these factors. The Peer Group consisted of the following 14 companies, which was the same group of 14 companies that comprised the peer group used for fiscal year 2023:

As indicated in the table below, at the time of the competitive market analysis in February 2023, our revenue approximated the Peer Group 43rd percentile, our headcount the 79th percentile, and our market capitalization the 64th percentile.

The Compensation Committee uses the market analysis as a reference point to ensure that our executive compensation program is competitive with market practice for our Peer Group. In the case of each executive officer, the Compensation Committee compares the overall compensation of each individual against the compensation data developed through the market analysis, if their position is sufficiently similar to the positions identified in the data to make the comparison meaningful. The Compensation Committee reviews a full array of competitive market data as part of this comparison process rather than isolating a particular percentile with respect to any portion of the executives’ pay. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee’s decisions with respect to each executive’s total compensation, and each individual compensation element, are based in large part on its assessment of the Company’s and individual’s performance, as well as other factors, such as internal equity across the organization.

Compensation Elements

We use the following key elements to compensate our NEOs:

Variation in competitive positioning among executives is to be expected, to recognize differences in individual performance, tenure, or scope of responsibility relative to market. However, we generally position each compensation element within a competitive range (+/- 15% for base salary and AIP target compensation, +/- 20% for grant date fair value of long-term incentives) of the market 50th percentile.

Fiscal Year 2024 Base Salaries

NEO base salaries are an important part of their total compensation package and are intended to reflect their respective positions, duties, and responsibilities. Our Compensation Committee annually reviews and determines the base salaries of our executives. During fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of the NEOs, approving the adjustments shown in the table below, as applicable, for all NEOs (with the exception of the CEO, whose base salary adjustment was recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the non-employee members of the Board). In deciding whether to make any annual adjustments, the Compensation Committee considered factors, including each NEO’s performance, tenure, and job responsibilities, in addition to considering market information from our February 2023 competitive analysis.

Fiscal Year 2024 AIP

Each of our NEOs participates in our AIP, which is focused on rewarding our executive officers for annual operating performance that meets or exceeds pre-established goals. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews and determines each NEO’s target bonus opportunity (expressed as a percentage of base salary) under the AIP (with the exception of the CEO, whose target bonus opportunity is recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the non-employee members of the Board). During fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed each NEO’s target bonus opportunity, recommending that the Board approve the adjustment to Mr. Nargolwala’s target shown in the table below, in order to bring it to the market median level. The Compensation Committee considered the same factors as

in its deliberations relating to base salaries, as well as our desire to motivate achievement of short-term financial objectives via meaningful annual incentive opportunities. Each NEO’s target bonus opportunity was generally aligned to the market 50th percentile, as detailed in the February 2023 competitive analysis.

The actual amount of the annual bonuses paid under the AIP each year may be more or less than the applicable NEO’s target bonus opportunity, depending on Company performance against a set of pre-established performance metrics. For fiscal year 2024, these Company performance metrics included Performance EBIT (weighted 60%), revenue growth (weighted 30%), and a new metric for products released to market (“RTMs”) (weighted 10%). The RTM metric was added to increase the entire organization’s focus on advancing both the speed and volume of product development. The annual bonuses under the AIP are also subject to potential increase or reduction at the discretion of the Compensation Committee (or the Board in the case of the CEO), based on individual NEO performance during the fiscal year (the “Multiplier for Individual Performance”).

The table below illustrates AIP determinations at various levels of performance and the actual performance in fiscal year 2024 for each metric. For performance between points referenced in the table, straight line interpolation is used for the determination of actual achievement of performance metrics. target aip mix 60% 10% 30% performance ebit revenue rtm performance

In May 2024, the Compensation Committee assessed the Company’s fiscal year 2024 achievement of the corporate performance objectives, as detailed in the table above. The sum of the Performance EBIT, revenue and RTM performance portions of the pool funding resulted in total pool funding at 85.6% of target. Additionally, the Compensation Committee did not choose to exercise upward or downward discretion based on individual performance for fiscal year 2024 AIP payout determinations, and so the Multiplier for Individual Performance for all NEOs was 1.0.

The table below illustrates the final AIP payout determinations for each NEO.

The AIP payments with respect to fiscal year 2024 detailed above are expected to be paid to each NEO on June 28, 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024 Equity Compensation

We use equity awards as a form of long-term incentive compensation to motivate and reward executive officers for effectively executing longer-term strategic and financial objectives. The multi-year vesting provisions of these awards also support the Company’s leadership retention strategy. The value of these equity awards is based on the value of our Common Stock, and these awards help align the interests of our executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders.

In fiscal year 2024, our annual equity awards consisted of a combination of RSUs and PSUs. Further details regarding awards granted during fiscal year 2024 are set forth below. The Compensation Committee elected to use PSUs as the primary equity vehicle for annual equity awards to NEOs to strengthen the alignment between rewards and the achievement of our longer-term strategic goals referenced in the PSUs.

For each eligible executive, the Committee considers the relative value of equity awards compared to the equity awards held by other executive officers, the desired incentive mix between PSU awards and RSU awards, a compensation analysis performed by Meridian, and the individual experience, skills and performance level of the executive officer to determine the size of equity awards.

Annual Equity Awards

The annual equity awards granted to each of our NEOs consisted of RSUs (40% of each LTI award) and PSUs (60% of each LTI award). The RSUs are scheduled to vest in three equal installments on each of May 16, 2024, 2025, and 2026, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The PSUs vest based on achievement of four separate performance and service criteria, as outlined in the table below and described in greater detail following the table. psu award weighting (at target) 50% 15% 15% 20% relative tsr strategic product revenue cumulative performance ebitda cumulative cycle time

PSUs by metric are earned as follows:

For the Relative TSR metric, target vesting at 100% of this portion of the award is achieved if the Company’s TSR equals the TSR of the median company in the SOX Index. The actual number of PSUs that will be earned can range from 0% - 200% of the target amount, with a threshold vest (fixed at 50% of the target number of PSUs for this portion of the award) achieved if the Company’s TSR equals the TSR of the 25th percentile SOX Index company, and a maximum vest (fixed at 200% of the target number of PSUs for this portion of the award) achieved if the Company’s TSR equals or exceeds the TSR of the 75th percentile SOX Index company. Straight line interpolation is used for vesting determinations for performance between threshold and target or between target and maximum. If the Company’s TSR is negative during the performance period, vesting is capped at target for this portion of the award, regardless of what the award formula would otherwise specify for this portion of the award.

The table below illustrates Strategic Products revenue PSU payout determinations at various levels of performance, including actual performance in fiscal year 2024, and the resulting payout (i.e., the percentage of target PSUs for this portion of the award that vested one half on May 16, 2024, with the remaining half to vest on May 16, 2025, subject to a recipient meeting the continued service requirement). For performance between points referenced in the table, straight-line interpolation was used for the PSU vesting determination.

The table below illustrates cumulative Performance EBITDA PSU payout determinations for the one-third of cumulative Performance EBITDA PSUs allocated to fiscal year 2024 performance, and the resulting payout (i.e., the percentage of PSUs allocated to fiscal year 2024 performance that vested on May 16, 2024 for this portion of the award. For performance between points referenced in the table, straight line interpolation was used for the PSU vesting determination.
