Team,
I am writing to share some exciting news. Moments ago, we announced that onsemi has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Synaptics in an all-stock transaction. You can view the press release for more details on the agreement.
This acquisition marks one of the most significant moves in our company's history, coming at a critical moment for both our business and the industry. I want to take this opportunity to explain what it means, why now and what you should expect going forward.
Who is Synaptics?
Synaptics is a leading Edge AI company with broad capabilities in edge compute, human-machine interface and connectivity. Their mission is to bring AI closer to end users and transform the way people engage with intelligent systems. Like onsemi, they maintain an intense focus on driving innovation, which is something that you can see across their extensive product portfolio.
What this means for onsemi
As AI moves beyond the cloud and into the physical world, including automotive and industrial, the next wave of innovation will depend on systems that can sense, decide, act and adapt in real time. This requires four capabilities to come together seamlessly: Power, Sense, Connected Compute and Control.
By adding Synaptics' differentiated Edge AI compute franchise and their portfolio of human-machine interface and wireless connectivity solutions, we are extending our capabilities beyond power and sensing to intelligent systems. This would expand our ability to address a much larger portion of the AI value chain, from AI data center to the edge, to deliver greater value as customers increasingly seek system-level solutions.
Our focus on automotive, industrial and AI data center remains unchanged. This acquisition would expand our business opportunities to Physical AI while deepening how we engage with customers so we can play a more strategic role in their innovation cycles and long-term roadmaps. Simply put, this combination would enable us to realize a larger market opportunity and utilize our existing channels to expand the customer base.
Page 2 of 6
onsemi's strategy has been driven by disciplined execution and a clear focus on where our customers are headed. This is a continuation of that approach, and a decisive action to align our capabilities with their future needs and to position onsemi for sustained leadership in the age of Physical AI.
What this means for you
For now, it is business as usual. Until the transaction closes, which we expect to occur in mid-2027, subject to Synaptics stockholder and regulatory approvals and certain other conditions, onsemi and Synaptics will continue to operate as separate, independent companies.
Your role and your team remain the same. At the right time, we will bring leaders from both organizations together to begin integration planning.
I know many of you will have questions, and I'm committed to addressing what I can. We have prepared an FAQ with the latest information available, and we will host a special All Hands Meeting next week, on Monday, June 29. A calendar invite will follow shortly. Please submit your questions to [email protected].
What we're asking
As we move forward, I ask that everyone stay focused by following a few important do's and don'ts, which you can find here.
Companies reaching significant milestones such as this are typically at heightened risk of social engineering and phishing attacks - particularly in the period between announcement and closing. Bad actors may attempt to exploit uncertainty or curiosity with targeted messages that appear legitimate.
Examples may include emails or calls prompting you to:
|
|
● |
Click links to review "severance packages" or retention offers
|
|
|
● |
Confirm personal or payroll information related to the transaction
|
|
|
● |
Access "updated benefits" or HR portals tied to the acquisition
|
|
|
● |
Review urgent "leadership communications" or integration plans
|
Please remain vigilant at all times. If you receive any suspicious emails or calls related to this transaction, do not respond, click any links or open attachments. Instead, report it as phishing to IT immediately.
Lastly, thank you for your continued commitment and innovation at onsemi. With Synaptics, we will be strategically positioned to serve the largest and most important players in Physical AI. That is a great place to be, and it is a position you have helped build.
Exciting times are ahead, and we're well positioned to lead what comes next.
Hassane El-Khoury
CEO & President, onsemi

This communication includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on Synaptics' and onsemi's current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, their respective businesses and industries, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by Synaptics and onsemi, all of which are subject to change. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "projects," "strategy," or "anticipates," or the negative of those words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes.
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause Synaptics' or onsemi's actual results and performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that may impact future results and performance include, but are not limited to, the following factors: (1) the risk that the conditions to the closing of the transaction are not satisfied, including the risk that required approvals from regulators or the stockholders of Synaptics for the transaction are not obtained; (2) litigation relating to the transaction; (3) uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the transaction and the ability of each party to consummate the transaction; (4) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts the current plans and operations of Synaptics or onsemi, including restrictions during the pendency of the transaction that may impact the ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (5) the ability of Synaptics and onsemi to retain and hire key personnel; (6) competitive responses to the proposed transaction; (7) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction; (8) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; (9) the combined companies' ability to achieve the growth prospects and synergies expected from the transaction, as well as delays, challenges and expenses associated with integrating the combined companies' existing businesses; (10) uncertainty as to the long-term value of onsemi's common stock; (11) legislative, regulatory and economic developments; and (12) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as Synaptics' and onsemi's response to any of the aforementioned factors.

While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.
In addition, actual results are subject to other risks and uncertainties that relate more broadly to Synaptics' overall business, including those more fully described in Synaptics' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025, and its quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q for the current fiscal year, and onsemi's overall business and financial condition, including those more fully described in onsemi's filings with the SEC including its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and its quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q for its current fiscal year.

These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus that will be included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.
