**Item 5.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

**(e) Executive Compensation**

On January 14, 2026, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Pixelworks, Inc. (the "Company") approved the payment of bonuses under (i) the previously disclosed Transaction Bonus Agreement dated as of August 12, 2025 by and between the Company and Todd DeBonis (the "DeBonis Agreement"), and (ii) the previously disclosed Transaction Bonus Agreement dated as of October 10, 2025 by and between the Company and Haley Aman (the "Aman Agreement" and, together with the DeBonis Agreement, the "Bonus Agreements"). Included in this approval was a waiver of a condition under each Bonus Agreement that the closing of a "qualifying transaction" (as defined in each Bonus Agreement) occur by December 31, 2025. Although the sale of the Company's subsidiary, Pixelworks Semiconductor Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (the "Sale"), officially closed on January 6, 2026, the Committee determined that such delay was immaterial and therefore approved the waiver of the condition.

In addition, in recognition of $1.2 million of the purchase price for the Sale being held in escrow pending resolution of certain tax matters in China, the Committee further approved the payment of the portion of transaction bonuses under the Bonus Agreements pertaining to such amount to occur following the payment of such funds to the Company.

The foregoing description of certain provisions of Bonus Agreements are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the DeBonis Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 13, 2025 and the Aman Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 16, 2025.
