Board of Directors Leadership Structure and Committee Composition

Currently, there are nine (9) members of the board of directors, consisting of William (Bill) P. Sullivan, Tunç Doluca, Tracy C. Accardi, James R. Bergman, Joseph R. Bronson, Robert E. Grady, Mercedes Johnson, William D. Watkins, and MaryAnn Wright. Mr. Sullivan, an independent director, is the Chairman of the board of directors. The Company has no fixed policy on whether the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. This decision is based on the best interests of the Company and its stockholders under the circumstances existing at the time. The board of directors currently believes that it is most appropriate to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in recognition of the qualitative differences between the two roles as set forth below. The Chief Executive Officer is primarily responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day to day leadership of the Company, while the Chairman presides over meetings of the full board of directors and ensures that the board of directors’ time and attention are focused on the matters most critical to the Company.

Our board of directors has the following three (3) standing committees: (1) an Audit Committee, (2) a Compensation Committee, and (3) a Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee (the “Governance Committee”). Each of the committees operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors. All of the committee charters are available in the Corporate Governance section of our website at

http://investor.maximintegrated.com/corporate-governance

. During fiscal year 2021, the board of directors held eleven (11) meetings and acted by written consent one (1) time. During fiscal year 2021, each director who was a director during fiscal year 2021 attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings of the board of directors and the board committees on which he or she served that were held during the time he or she was a director in fiscal year 2021. While not mandatory, we strongly encourage our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Doluca, Maxim Integrated’s Chief Executive Officer, all of its current members are, “independent directors” as that term is defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), including for the purposes of the Audit Committee composition requirements. Such independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director not be an employee of Maxim Integrated and not be engaged in certain types of business transactions or dealings with Maxim Integrated. In addition, as further required by the NASDAQ rules, the board of directors has made a subjective determination that no relationships exist between Maxim Integrated and each director which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. The independent directors meet regularly in executive session, without members of management present.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

It is management’s responsibility to identify, assess and manage the material risks that the Company faces, and the board of directors oversees management in this effort. Specifically, the board of directors’ role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving periodic reports at regularly scheduled board meetings from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company as they arise, including financial, operational, legal, regulatory, strategic and reputational risks. The full board of directors (or the appropriate committee in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) receives these reports from a member of senior management to enable it to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. Upon receiving such reports, the board of directors provides such guidance as it deems necessary.

In general, the entire board of directors has oversight responsibility for the Company’s strategic risks, such as growth, mergers and acquisitions, and divestitures, as well as reputational risks. The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for financial and related legal risks (such as accounting, asset management, tax strategy and internal controls). The Governance Committee oversees compliance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and governance related laws, the Audit Committee oversees compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and the Compensation Committee oversees compliance with the Company’s compensation plans and related laws and policies. The Company’s Internal Audit group performs a risk assessment as part of its annual audit process and its findings regarding this assessment are presented to the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Audit Committee, which has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, is currently comprised of James R. Bergman, Joseph R. Bronson, Mercedes Johnson, and William D. Watkins, each of whom is independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ director independence standards, as currently in effect.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), current and former Chief Financial Officer, and other three (3) most highly compensated executive officers during fiscal year 2021 (the “Named Executive Officers”) should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations, and determinations regarding future compensation programs. The actual amount and form of compensation and the compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from programs as summarized in this discussion.

Overview

The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing, implementing, and monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy. As of June 26, 2021, we have six (6) executive officers, five (5) of whom are our Named Executive Officers as listed below. Details of fiscal 2021 compensation for our Named Executive Officers can be found in the Summary Compensation Table.


Named Executive Officer		Title
Tunç Doluca		President and Chief Executive Officer
Brian C. White		Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Edwin B. Medlin		Senior Vice President and Chief Legal, Administrative, and Compliance Officer
Vivek Jain		Senior Vice President, Technology and Manufacturing Group
Jon Imperato		Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides a review of our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices for our executive officers and how it applies to our Named Executive Officers specifically. The discussion focuses on our executive compensation policies and decisions and the most important factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we address why we believe our executive compensation program is appropriate for us and our stockholders and explain how executive compensation is determined.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Components

The objectives of our executive compensation program are as follows:

•

to attract, retain, motivate, and reward the best and brightest executives who have the talent and experience required to achieve our goals;

•

to align the short-term and long-term interests and objectives of our executive officers with our stockholders;

•

to create a high-performance culture by linking total rewards to Company performance, including performance relative to our peers;

•

to recognize our executives for their contributions to our success by rewarding individual performance; and

•

to ensure that our executive compensation program is easily understood by program participants and our shareholders.

We accomplish these objectives by providing our executive officers with compensation components that are specifically linked to either short-term or long-term corporate and executive performance. The majority of our executive compensation is short-term or long-term variable compensation. The principal components of our executive compensation are:

•

base salary;

•

cash performance bonuses; and

•

equity awards (in the form of restricted stock units and market stock units).

Each of these components is intended to achieve one or more of our compensation objectives. The Compensation Committee relies on its judgment in determining the appropriate mix of cash and equity compensation for our executive officers. In general, to encourage a high-performance culture and to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders, the Compensation Committee makes a significant portion of each executive officer’s compensation performance-based with cash performance bonuses and equity awards, while generally keeping base salaries modest relative to competitive market norms. Our variable cash and equity programs are designed to reward recent performance with cash compensation and to motivate long-term performance and retention through equity awards. Both programs are also designed to reward our executive officers both for individual and overall corporate performance. Such a structure allows the Compensation Committee flexibility to reward outstanding individual performance and to recognize the contributions of our executive officers to the overall success of Maxim Integrated.

Best Practices Followed at Maxim Integrated

Tax Considerations

162(m) of the Code states that public companies cannot deduct compensation paid to certain of its top executive officers in excess of $1 million per officer per year. Historically, we have believed it was in our best interest, to the extent practical, to have executive officer compensation be

fully deductible under Section 162(m). The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law in December of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), eliminated the performance-based compensation exception, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers in excess of $1 million will be not deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in effect on November 2, 2017. As a result, for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, certain amounts of compensation may fail to be deductible under Section 162(m). However, the Compensation Committee also retains the discretion to provide compensation that may not be fully deductible. There is no guarantee that all compensation paid by the Company will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Compensation Committee may decide, in its discretion, to pay incentive-based compensation or grant equity awards that may not be deductible for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have stock ownership guidelines for our CEO and members of our board of directors. These guidelines require our CEO to own shares of our common stock with a value of at least five (5) times his annual base salary and our

non-employee

directors to own shares of common stock with a value of at least five (5) times the annual retainer paid to

non-employee

directors. Our stock ownership guidelines are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at

http://investor.maximintegrated.com/corporate-governance


	Annual Base Salary		5x Annual Base Salary
Chief Executive Officer	$	825,000	$	4,125,000

	Annual Retainer		5x Annual Retainer
Non-Employee Directors	$	70,000	$	350,000

Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy

The Company has a policy that provides that in the event of a material restatement of its financial results due to misconduct, the Compensation Committee shall review the facts and circumstances and take actions it considers appropriate with respect to the compensation of any executive officer whose fraud or willful misconduct contributed to the need for such restatement. Such actions may include, without limitation, seeking reimbursement of any bonus paid to such executive officer exceeding the amount that, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee, would have been paid had the financial results been properly reported.

Hedging and Pledging Prohibition on Company Securities (No Exception)

The Company has a policy that prohibits all of its executive officers and members of the board of directors from engaging in hedging transactions involving the Company’s securities. The Company also prohibits any executive officer and member of the board of directors from any future pledging of their Company securities as a collateral for a loan or holding their Company securities in a margin account. This policy is described in the “Corporate Governance and Board of Directors Matters” section of this Proxy Statement above. Currently, no shares of the Company have been pledged by any of the Company’s executive officers or members of the board of directors.

Governance of Executive Officer Compensation Program

Role and Members of the Compensation Committee

The members of our Compensation Committee are appointed by our board of directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining executive officer compensation. As of the record date, the Compensation Committee was comprised of three (3) members of the board of directors, Tracy C. Accardi, James R. Bergman, and Robert E. Grady, each of whom is an independent,

non-employee

director. Since November 2016, Mr. Bergman has served as Chair of the Compensation Committee.

The primary purpose of the Compensation Committee is to:

•

review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our CEO and other executive officers, evaluate CEO performance, and determine CEO compensation based on this evaluation;

•

approve and oversee, in consultation with our CEO, the total compensation package for certain executive officers, including their base salaries, cash performance bonuses, equity awards, severance benefits and

change-in-control

benefits (if any);

•

oversee its compensation consultant;

•

review periodically and make recommendations to the board of directors regarding any equity or long-term compensation plans, and administer these plans; and

•

make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to compensation for members of the board of directors and its committees.

The Compensation Committee operates according to a charter that details its specific duties and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the charter and recommends proposed changes to the board of directors for approval. The Compensation Committee charter is available on our website in the Corporate Governance section at

http://investor.maximintegrated.com/corporate-governance.

The charter sets forth the membership requirements, authority and duties of the Compensation Committee, which shall consist of no fewer than two (2) members, all of whom (i) meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ rules, (ii) are

“non-employee

directors” under the definition of Rule

16b-3

promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and (iii) are “outside directors” for purposes of the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Code. During fiscal year 2021, and currently, all members of the Compensation Committee met these criteria.

Process for Evaluating Executive Officer Performance and Compensation

The Compensation Committee generally holds at least six (6) scheduled meetings during the year and holds additional meetings periodically to review and discuss executive compensation issues. The Compensation Committee Chair will also provide an update to the board of directors during a regularly scheduled meeting regarding Compensation Committee matters when appropriate. In addition, members of the Compensation Committee communicate on an informal basis concerning Compensation Committee matters throughout the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee may also consider and take certain actions by unanimous written consent. In fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee held six (6) meetings and acted by unanimous written consent three (3) times.

Our Chief Human Resources Officer and our Corporate Secretary support the Compensation Committee in its work. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others for assistance.

Outside Compensation Consultant

For fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee retained Radford as its independent compensation consultant. The independent compensation consultant advises the Compensation Committee and the board of directors on executive cash and equity compensation matters as well as board and board committee compensation. Radford reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has sole authority to hire, terminate and direct the work of Radford. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Radford pursuant to the NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules and concluded that Radford’s work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflicts of interest. For further discussion of the role of the Compensation Committee in the executive compensation decision-making process, and for a description of the nature and scope of Radford’s assignment, see “Executive Compensation Positioning” below.

Role of Management in Executive Compensation Process

The Compensation Committee seeks input from our CEO and the Chief Human Resources Officer to obtain recommendations with respect to our compensation programs, practices and policies for executive officers. Our CEO’s role in the compensation-setting process consists of (i) evaluating executive and employee performance; (ii) assisting in the establishment of business performance targets and objectives; and (iii) recommending base salary levels and equity awards. While the Compensation Committee may discuss our CEO’s compensation package with him, it meets in executive session in his absence to determine his compensation.

Executive Compensation Positioning

In March 2021, based on the recommendations of Radford, and in consultation with our executive management, the Compensation Committee approved a compensation peer group to be used to better understand the competitive market for purposes of setting executive compensation for fiscal year 2021. In determining the appropriate compensation peer group, the Compensation Committee considered companies within the semiconductor industry that have revenue, market capitalization, number of employees, and operations similar to our corresponding components. Many of the companies in this peer group compete with us for executive talent.

The compensation peer group members for fiscal year 2021 are as follows:


Advanced Micro Devices Analog Devices Cree Cirrus Logic First Solar KLA Marvell Technology Group Microchip Technology MKS Instruments		Monolithic Power Systems ON Semiconductor Qorvo Semtech* Silicon Laboratories* Skyworks Solutions Teradyne Texas Instruments* Xilinx

*	The Compensation Committee included Texas Instruments (a larger company), Semtech, and Silicon Laboratories in the peer group for reference purposes only as each compete with us for executive talent.

The Compensation Committee does not target pay at a specific target percentile. Rather, the Compensation Committee believes that fixed compensation (primarily base salary) should be relatively modest and that variable compensation (primarily annual performance bonus and long-term incentive opportunities) should provide meaningful upside opportunities tied to performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes compensation opportunities should reflect Company performance, individual roles and performance and retention factors. Consistent with the foregoing, when setting each compensation component and total compensation opportunities, the Compensation Committee considers the following factors in addition to competitive market data:

•

the Company’s overall performance relative to peers and established objectives;

•

each individual’s skills, job scope, experience, and qualifications relative to other similarly-situated executives at peer companies;

•

the Company’s internal value for a position relative to other positions or market practices;

•

a subjective assessment of each individual’s contributions to the Company’s overall performance, ability to lead his or her business unit or function, work as part of a team, and reflect the Company’s core values; and

•

the Company’s ability to retain “critical talent.”

These factors provide the framework for our Compensation Committee’s decision-making. No single factor above is determinative in setting pay levels, nor is the impact of any one factor on the determination of pay levels quantifiable.

Evaluation of Named Executive Officer Compensation

Fiscal 2021 Compensation Plan for Executive Officers—Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At each of our 2019 and 2020 Annual Meetings of Stockholders, approximately ninety-five (95%) of the votes with respect to the advisory proposal on the compensation of our named executive officers were voted in favor of our executive compensation program described in the applicable year’s proxy statement. The Compensation Committee considered these results and, in light of the strong support we received from our stockholders with respect to our fiscal 2019 and 2020 executive compensation programs, the Compensation Committee did not believe that any significant changes were necessary or advisable with respect to the fiscal 2021 executive compensation program, except as stated herein.

Consequently, the fiscal 2021 executive compensation program was substantially similar to the fiscal 2020 executive compensation program.

Base Salary

Base salaries are used to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified executives. Base salary is the primary fixed component of compensation in the executive compensation program and, in addition to the broader principles summarized above, is determined by:

•

level of responsibility and Company impact;

•

pay levels of similar positions in our peer group;

•

expertise and experience of the executive; and

•

competitive conditions in the industry.

Annual base salary increases, if any, are, in addition to the broader principles summarized above, a reflection of:

•

the individual’s performance for the preceding year;

•

the Company’s performance;

•

the individual’s pay level relative to similar positions in our peer group;

•

anticipated future contributions of the executive; and

•

competitive conditions in the industry.

For the Named Executive Officers, base salaries are generally relatively modest compared to the base salaries paid to similarly situated executives in the compensation peer group companies.

Fiscal 2021 Base Salary Actions

The Compensation Committee, after a review of individual and overall performance, as well as market practices for executive compensation, approved base salary increases for our Named Executive Officers, as set forth in the table below:


Named Executive Officer	Title	Annualized Fiscal 2021 Base Salary ($)
Tunç Doluca	President and Chief Executive Officer		825,000
Brian White	Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer		475,000
Edwin B. Medlin	Senior Vice President and Chief Legal, Administrative, and Compliance Officer		445,000
Vivek Jain	Senior Vice President, Technology and Manufacturing Group		445,000
Jon Imperato	Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing		400,000

Fiscal 2021 Annual Cash Performance Bonuses under 2021 Compensation Plan

In September 2020, the Compensation Committee approved a cash incentive compensation plan for our CEO and executive officers, including Messrs. White, Medlin, Jain, and Imperato (the “FY21 Bonus Pool Officers”), applicable to fiscal year 2021 performance. The following is a description of the fiscal year 2021 Annual bonus pool:

•

Target Bonus Pool Size

: The

target

aggregate cash bonus pool was an amount equal to 0.41% of the Company’s operating income as determined under GAAP, excluding the effect of special items.

•

Target Operating Income

: The target operating income at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 was approximately $780 million.

•

Total Funded Bonus Pool

: The aggregate cash bonus funded by the Company and available for distribution to our CEO and the FY21 Bonus Pool Officers was 0.492% of actual annual operating income as determined under GAAP, excluding the effect of special items, to accommodate above nominal individual performance.

•

Minimum Performance Bonus

: In the event actual fiscal year 2021 operating income (excluding the impact of special items) was less than fifty percent (50%) of target operating income (excluding the impact of special items) of $780 million, no annual cash bonus would have been payable to the executive officers.

•

Cap on Annual Cash Bonus

: In no event would the annual cash performance bonus payable to an executive officer exceed two hundred percent (200%) of an executive officer’s annual target performance bonus amount, determined based on total funded bonus pool.

The chart below depicts the calculation of the aggregate bonus pool to be distributed to our CEO and executive officers:

Selection of Operating Income and Modulators of Bonus Pool

We selected operating income as the primary program metric (as a basis to determine the overall size of the cash bonus pool) because we deem it to be an objective and clear measure of our operating performance. It demonstrates efficiency of Company performance and aligns financial reporting with compensation calculations and cannot be easily manipulated. We selected product development execution metrics to measure

top-line

growth and productivity.

Individual Performance Goal

Our Compensation Committee (with input from our full board) evaluates the performance of our CEO based on achieving fiscal year 2021 revenue plan, achieving fiscal year 2021 product development targets, and company performance along various vectors, including, but not limited to, new technology, growth, employee talent, and other business development objectives. The Compensation Committee together with our CEO evaluates the performance of our executive officers based on various performance factors, including, but not limited to, performance goals, leadership, sense of urgency, and collaboration.

Impact Points, Allocation of Bonus Pool to Executive Officers

Each executive officer’s share of the bonus pool is dependent upon his or her impact points, which are determined at the beginning of the fiscal year and subject to adjustment following the completion of the fiscal year. The number of impact points is based in part on the executive officer’s level of responsibility and relative value of the executive officer’s impact on Maxim Integrated’s performance as compared to the other executive officers for the fiscal year. Impact points are expressed as a percentage of the pool. Each participant’s share of the bonus pool equaled the product of (a) the percentage determined by taking his or her total impact points, as approved by the Compensation Committee at the end of the fiscal year, and dividing them by the total number of impact points allocated to all executive officers, (b) their individual performance, which is measured as a percentage of the executive officer’s performance goals met over the period, and (c) the bonus pool calculated as described above.

Actual Results for Fiscal Year 2021 under Cash Bonus Pool and Bonus Payouts to Executive Officers

In September 2021, the Compensation Committee approved cash bonuses for our CEO and the FY21 Bonus Pool Officers for their performance during fiscal year 2021. The following are actual results for fiscal year 2021:

•

Fiscal Year 2021 Operating Income

: The Company’s fiscal year 2021 operating income as determined under GAAP, excluding the effect of special items, was $1,019 million compared to $712 million in fiscal year 2020, a forty-three (43%) increase.

•

Fiscal Year 2021 Total Bonus Payouts

: The total cash bonus funded by the Company and available for distribution to our CEO and the FY21 Bonus Pool Officers was $5.0 million, of which $4.98 million was distributed to our CEO and the FY21 Bonus Pool Officers.

Fiscal Year 2021 Performance Bonuses Paid to the Named Executive Officers

The table below sets forth each Named Executive Officer’s performance bonus as approved by the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2021 performance:


Named Executive Officer	Impact Points (As a %)		FY21 Target Performance Bonus ($)		FY21 Performance Bonus Payment ($)		FY21 Mid-Year Performance Bonus ($) (1)		Amount of FY21 Performance Bonus Paid ($)
Tunç Doluca		40		1,350,800		2,068,000		675,500		1,392,500
Brian White		13		439,000		661,000		219,500		441,500
Edwin B. Medlin		13		405,200		672,000		202,500		469,500

Vivek Jain		12		371,500		610,000		185,500		424,500

(1)	The FY21 Mid-Year Performance Bonus paid December 11, 2021 will be subtracted from the FY21 Performance Bonus Payment.

Equity Compensation under 2021 Compensation Program

We believe equity compensation is an effective way to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders in order to achieve long-term stock price growth. In designing our equity compensation program, we take into account stockholder concerns about stock usage and dilution. Equity awards are granted by the Compensation Committee or the Management Committee at duly noticed meetings. In fiscal 2021, we utilized a mix of restricted stock units and market stock units to compensate our executive officers. We believe that market stock units align our executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders, as the executive officers benefit from future stock price appreciation relative to an index, while restricted stock units also align our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders while also promoting strong current retention incentives for Maxim Integrated’s executive officers.

We did not grant any stock options or market stock units in fiscal year 2021.

Equity Awards for Fiscal Year 2021

Restricted Stock Awards

Our Named Executive Officers were granted an aggregate of 174,624 restricted stock awards in September 2020. These restricted stock awards vest in equal amounts over four (4) quarters in 2024, subject to continued service through each such date and, for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements, continued vesting post-employment.

Although we believe that long-term equity incentives are an important part of our compensation program and that they align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, we also recognize the importance of limiting the stockholder dilution associated with our equity compensation programs.

The table below depicts the number of restricted stock awards granted to the Named Executive Officers in fiscal year 2021:


Name	# of Restricted Stock Awards Granted in Sept. 2020
Tunç Doluca		81,576
Brian White		22,764
Edwin B. Medlin		21,012
Vivek Jain		19,260
Jon Imperato		30,012

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our stockholders approved the 2008 ESP Plan at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and approved amendments to the 2008 ESP Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2008 ESP Plan at each of the Annual Meetings of Stockholders held from 2009 to 2017. Pursuant to the 2008 ESP Plan, employees and officers who meet certain eligibility qualifications are able to purchase Maxim Integrated’s common stock at a discount of up to fifteen percent (15%) from the market price of such shares on the offer date or purchase date, whichever is lesser. Employee contributions are made through payroll deductions. In November 2020, the final purchase of shares was made under ESP Plan and no additional contributions or purchases were made thereafter in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement between the Company and Analog Devices.

Benefits and Perquisites

Maxim Integrated’s philosophy regarding benefits for our employees, including executive officers, is that they should be competitive with the market in order to attract and retain a high-quality workforce, meet the needs of our employees, encourage employee well-being, and provide protection from catastrophic events. We provide medical, dental and vision insurance coverage to executives that are generally available to other full-time employees, including basic group life insurance and disability insurance. We also offer a tax qualified 401(k) plan in which all U.S. based employees, including officers, are eligible to participate. All of our Named Executive Officers participated in our 401(k) plan during fiscal year 2021. In fiscal year 2021, employees were eligible to receive a matching contribution from Maxim Integrated equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the first three percent (3%) of

before-tax

contributions made by the employee, and fifty percent (50%) of the next two percent (2%) of

before-tax

contributions made by the employee subject to a maximum annual cap of $10,000.

The Compensation Committee reviews the perquisites provided to executive officers as part of its overall review of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee has determined the type and amount paid in perquisites to be within the appropriate range of competitive compensation practices. Details regarding the Named Executive Officer’s perquisites, including the fiscal year 2021 cost to Maxim Integrated, are shown in the Summary Compensation Table under the “All Other Compensation” column and the accompanying narrative.

Employment Agreements

Several years ago, we entered into an

at-will

employment agreement with Mr. Doluca. The agreement does not grant any right to be retained by us, and we may terminate the employment of Mr. Doluca either with or without cause at any time. In the event of any termination of employment by Maxim Integrated, all compensation and benefits, except benefits provided by law (e.g., COBRA health insurance continuation benefits) immediately cease to accrue. However, in the event of termination of employment by Maxim Integrated without cause, severance payments are to be made in accordance with our normal policy then in effect, if any, or as otherwise mutually agreed between Maxim Integrated and Mr. Doluca.

This agreement provides that if Mr. Doluca terminates his full-time employment with us and his written notice of termination provides that he is willing to provide certain consulting services to us, we will make health insurance coverage available to him and his family during the period of provision of such services (or willingness to provide services) by Mr. Doluca. The terms of his service, unless otherwise agreed, will provide for part-time services (up to one (1) day per month) and annual compensation equal to at least five percent (5%) of his base salary at the time of termination, provided that services are rendered. Health insurance coverage will be similar to that under the group health plan we maintain for our employees.

During the

ten-year

period following the notice of termination, Mr. Doluca will pay the same amount for health coverage as a similarly situated full-time employee is required to pay for coverage under our group health plan. After such

ten-year

period, he will pay us an amount equal to the cost to the Company of similar coverage under the Company’s group health plans. In the event of Mr. Doluca’s death while receiving health insurance coverage, his spouse is eligible for health insurance coverage until death so long as the surviving spouse pays for the coverage. In the event Mr. Doluca becomes disabled while receiving health insurance coverage, he is deemed to have met his service obligations to us during the disability period. Upon reaching age sixty-five (65), Medicare becomes the primary payer of medical expenses incurred by Mr. Doluca. All of such continued health insurance coverage terminates upon the occurrence of certain disqualifying events, including, but not limited to, if he competes with Maxim Integrated or becomes eligible for health insurance coverage elsewhere. In addition, Mr. Medlin is eligible to participate in our executive retiree medical benefit program.

Post-Employment Obligations

The

at-will

employment agreement with Mr. Doluca provides that in the event of termination of employment by Maxim Integrated without cause, severance payments are to be made in accordance with our normal policy then in effect, if any, or as otherwise mutually agreed between Maxim Integrated and Mr. Doluca. Maxim Integrated does not currently have any normal policy with respect to severance payments to former executives.

Reasonableness of Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes it is fulfilling our compensation objectives and in particular rewarding executive officers in a manner that supports our

pay-for-performance

philosophy. Executive compensation is tied to our performance and is structured to ensure that there is an appropriate balance between our long-term and short-term performance, and also a balance between our operational performance and stockholder return. The Compensation Committee believes the average target pay position relative to market and pay mix are reasonable and appropriate.

Compensation Committee Report

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation

S-K

with management and, based on such review and discussions, our Compensation Committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Form

An individual’s target is calculated based on such individual’s impact points and the target aggregate cash bonus pool equal to 0.41% of the target operating income at the beginning of fiscal year 2021, which was approximately $780 million. In the event actual fiscal year 2021 operating income (excluding the impact of special items) was less than fifty percent (50%) of target operating income (excluding the impact of special items) of $780 million, no annual cash bonus would have been payable to the executive officers. In no event would the annual cash performance bonus payable to an executive officer exceed two hundred percent (200%) of an executive officer’s annual target performance bonus amount, determined based on total funded bonus pool.

Non-Qualified

Deferred Compensation

We do not have any

non-qualified

deferred compensation agreements, plans or arrangements for and as of the year ended June 26, 2021 with respect to the Named Executive Officers.

Employment Contracts and Change in Control Arrangements

Mr. Doluca is a party to an agreement with us, pursuant to which he may be entitled to certain severance payments and benefits under the specified circumstances.

For further information and detail regarding the above-mentioned agreements and change in control arrangements, please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” contained in this proxy statement.

Change-of-Control,

Gross-Ups

We currently have a “double trigger”

change-of-control

plan (the “Severance Plan”) covering all of our full-time employees, including our Named Executive Officers. The Severance Plan provides for the payment of certain benefits in the event a Named Executive Officer is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason during the twenty-four (24) month period following a

change-of-control

of Maxim Integrated or within the period following the public announcement of, but prior to, the closing of a

change-of-control

event. In serving the interest of stockholders, the Severance Plan is designed to help retain the employees of the Company, help maintain a stable work environment and provide certain economic benefits to employees in the event their employment is terminated in the circumstances described below.

change-of-control

is defined as:

•

a merger or consolidation of Maxim Integrated in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power changes hands;

•

a sale of all or substantially all of Maxim Integrated’s assets;

•

the acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of Maxim Integrated’s voting power by any person or group; or

•

a change in the composition of our board of directors, such that a majority of directors are no longer “Incumbent Directors” (Incumbent Directors are directors as of the date the

change-of-control

plan was implemented and directors elected other than in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest).

If, during the twenty-four (24) month period following the

change-of-control

or within the period following the public announcement of, but prior to, the closing of a

change-of-control

event, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated for reasons other than cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) or the individual terminates employment for good reason (as defined in the Severance Plan), then the Named Executive Officer will receive a lump sum cash payment consisting of:

•

base salary not yet paid through the date of termination and all unpaid vacation pay;

•

a severance payment equal to two (2) times the Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination; and

•

a severance payment equal to two (2) times the FY21 performance bonus target.

In addition, all unvested stock options, restricted stock units, and market stock units are accelerated and become fully vested upon a

change-of-control

and a termination without cause (or resignation for good reason) occurring within twenty-four (24) months following the

change-of-control

or within the period following the public announcement of, but prior to, the closing of a

change-of-control

event. Also, each Named Executive Officer is eligible to receive continued health insurance benefits at the Company’s cost for twenty-four (24) months. The Named Executive Officers are not entitled to receive a

gross-up

amount to compensate the officer for any golden parachute excise taxes imposed by the Code. Our board of directors retains the absolute right to modify and/or terminate the

change-of-control

plan and the benefits thereunder at any time before the occurrence of a

change-of-control.

If there had been a termination of employment without cause during the twenty-four (24) month period following a

change-of-control

of Maxim Integrated or within the period following the public announcement of, but prior to, the closing of a

change-in-control

event, then assuming such termination occurred at the end of fiscal year 2021, the amounts we estimate that would have been paid to the Named Executive Officers are set forth in the table below. The actual amounts that would be paid out can only be determined at the time the Named Executive Officer is terminated from employment.

Potential Payments upon Termination Related to a Change of Control

The amounts that could be potentially paid upon a termination related to a change of control event are estimated based on an assumed triggering date of June 25, 2021, and a price per share of $102.66 of Maxim Integrated’s common stock. The performance bonus payment is equal to two times the named executive officer’s target annual cash performance bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. The cost of health insurance benefits is the estimated value of the continuation of medical, vision, and dental benefits for up to twenty-four (24) months following the qualifying termination at Maxim Integrated’s sole expense, which are “double-trigger” benefits payable following a qualifying termination under the severance plan. For Messrs. Doluca and Medlin, the amounts in the table also include the estimated value of the continued health insurance coverage (after the twenty-four (24) month period provided under the Severance Plan) provided by Maxim Integrated under the terms of Mr. Doluca’s Employment Agreement dated September 30, 1993, with Maxim Integrated and Mr. Medlin’s Retiree Medical Agreement dated August 14, 2012 with Maxim Integrated, respectively, following a termination of employment.

The value of the accelerated vesting of market stock units is calculated by multiplying $102.66 per share of Maxim Integrated’s common stock by the number of outstanding market stock units at 100% of target on June 25, 2021. The equity and equity-based awards outstanding and unvested, such as restricted stock units and market stock units, will fully vest in the event a named executive officer experiences a qualifying termination under the severance plan. As previously noted, the assumed triggering date is June 25, 2021.

Section 16(a)

Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of Maxim Integrated’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of Maxim Integrated. Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the best of our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to Maxim Integrated and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, except Mme. Wright and Messrs. Imperato and Bergman did not file a timely Form 4, which were subsequently filed on February 10, 2021 and August 18, 2021, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were complied with. The Company files the Section 16 reports on behalf the Company’s directors and executive officers.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Related Transactions

During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, Robert Bergman, the son of James R. Bergman, a member of our board of directors, was employed by Bedrock Automation Platforms, Inc. (“Bedrock”). Bedrock is an independent subsidiary of the Company engaged in a line of business separate and distinct from the Company’s primary business. Robert Bergman received approximately $265,940 in aggregate cash compensation from Bedrock in fiscal year 2021. We do not believe that this transaction constitutes a related party transaction. Maxim Integrated is not involved in the

day-to-day

operations of Bedrock.

Two (2) members of the Company’s Board of Directors are also members of the Board of Directors of customers of Maxim Integrated: Flextronics International Ltd. and Teradyne, Inc. During the fiscal years ended June 26, 2021, June 27, 2020, and June 29, 2019, the Company sold approximately $74.8 million, $58.0 million, and $44.7 million, respectively, in products to Flextronics International Ltd., a contract manufacturer, and approximately $59.1 million, $39.1 million, and $17.8 million, respectively, in products to Teradyne, Inc., a supplier of automation equipment for test and industrial applications, in the ordinary course of its business.

Maxim Integrated has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its current and former directors and officers. The indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that Maxim Integrated will indemnify each of its directors and officers, under the circumstances and to the extent provided therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines, and settlements each may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she may be made a party by reason of his or her position or positions as a director, officer or other agent of Maxim Integrated, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and Maxim Integrated’s Bylaws.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Party Transactions

The Audit Committee Charter provides for the Audit Committee to review and approve all related party transactions for potential conflicts of interest on an ongoing basis (if such transactions are not approved by another independent body of the board of directors). Related party transactions include, for purposes of the Audit Committee review, without limitation, transactions involving Maxim Integrated and any director, executive officer, beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of Maxim Integrated common stock, any immediate family member of any such person, or any firm, corporation, partnership, or other entity in which any such person is employed or any such person has a five percent (5%) or greater beneficial ownership interest. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with a related party, the Audit Committee will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction, the benefits to Maxim Integrated of the transaction, whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interests of Maxim Integrated and its stockholders, the potential impact of such transaction on a director’s independence, and whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms that may be available in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related party with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote on the approval of the transaction. Maxim Integrated will disclose the terms of related person transactions in its filings with the SEC to the extent required.

The terms of the employment of the individual described above under the heading “Related Transactions” was not specifically approved by the Audit Committee because such terms (including compensation terms) were, and continue to be, consistent and commensurate with those of other similarly situated employees of Maxim Integrated and its subsidiaries.
