Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 24, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Ambarella, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a Fiscal Year 2027 Annual Bonus Plan (the “FY2027 Bonus Plan”). The Company’s executive team members, including executive officers Feng-Ming Wang, John Young, Chan Lee, John Ju, and Yun-Lung Chen, are eligible to participate in the FY2027 Bonus Plan. The Board of Directors also approved a bonus target under the FY2027 Bonus Plan for Feng-Ming Wang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of 100% of his fiscal year 2027 annual base salary. Bonus targets for other executives range from 40% to 75% of their annual base salary. The FY2027 Bonus Plan establishes an aggregate target bonus pool that is approximately 28% larger than the target bonus pool under the fiscal year 2026 bonus plan. The actual aggregate amount of the bonus pool under the FY2027 Bonus Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors following completion of fiscal year 2027 based upon the Company’s fiscal year 2027 performance against revenue, operating profit, and certain non-financial operational objectives established by the Compensation Committee. The performance weightings for the executive management team are 1/3 for the revenue metric, 1/3 for the operating profit metric and 1/3 for the non-financial operational objectives. On-target performance is intended to result in an aggregate bonus pool payout at target levels. Above target performance is intended to result in aggregate bonus pool payouts above target levels, with a maximum payout equal to 167% of the annual targeted bonus pool payout, absent approval otherwise by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Failure to achieve threshold performance levels will result in no funding of the bonus pool, while performance between threshold and target levels will be determined by linear interpolation. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have discretion to individually apportion from such bonus pool and pay bonuses, if any, to individual executives that are based on the achievement of corporate goals and individual objectives. Any bonus plan payouts will be made no later than two and one-half months following the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2027 and generally are subject to continued employment through the payment date. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have discretion to reduce, eliminate or increase the size of the bonus pool and the individual bonuses.
