-qualified 401(k) plan, which provides for broad-based U.S. employee participation.

(B) Amounts include matching contributions made by Synopsys to each NEO’s health savings account at the same rate as for our other employees who enroll in this health plan.

(C) Amount includes matching contributions by the Synopsys Foundation on behalf of our NEOs as part of a broad-based charitable matching program available to all U.S. employees.

(7) Amounts exclude non-qualified deferred compensation earnings because we do not regard the returns from the investment alternatives selected by the executive for such earnings to be above-market or preferential as they are consistent with the types of investment opportunities generally provided to our employees under our tax-qualified 401(k) plan and Synopsys does not supplement or guarantee the returns on amounts deferred.
