Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on Friday, May 29, 2026, and will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders.

We believe that the virtual meeting format expands stockholder access and participation and improves communications; therefore the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only.

You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting, vote, and submit your questions during the meeting only *via* live webcast by visiting https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC. To participate in the meeting, you will need to review the information included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") or on your proxy card if you elected to receive proxy materials by mail. You will not be able to attend the meeting in person.

The notice of the Annual Meeting (the "Notice of Annual Meeting") and the Proxy Statement have been made part of this invitation.

Details regarding logging onto and attending the meeting over the website and the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, as well as in the Notice. Whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. After reading the Proxy Statement, even if you intend to attend the Annual Meeting, we ask that you please promptly vote via the Internet or by telephone, or if you receive a paper proxy card, please promptly submit your proxy by dating, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope, to ensure that your votes are counted. **If you vote via the Internet, vote by telephone, or submit your proxy card, you can still attend the Annual Meeting virtually. Please review the instructions on each of your voting options described in the accompanying Proxy Statement and Notice.**

The board of directors and management of SiTime Corporation look forward to your attendance at the Annual Meeting.

We believe that the virtual meeting format expands stockholder access and participation and improves communications; therefore, the Annual Meeting will be held *via* live webcast only. However, we have not decided if we will use a virtual meeting only format for future meetings.

Even if you have voted by proxy, this will not limit your rights to attend or vote during the Annual Meeting.

**INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION** 

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors (the "Board") of SiTime Corporation, a Delaware corporation, of your proxy to vote at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any adjournments or postponements thereof (also referred to herein as the "Annual Meeting"). Our Annual Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on Friday, May 29, 2026, via live webcast at https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC.

As used in this Proxy Statement, references to "we," "us," "our," and "SiTime" refer to SiTime Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and references to our website address in this Proxy Statement are inactive textual references only.

------

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING**

**Why is the Annual Meeting being held as a virtual meeting via webcast?**

We believe that the virtual meeting format expands stockholder access and participation and improves communications. Therefore, the Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders. There will not be a physical meeting location and you will not be able to attend in person.

**Will future annual meetings also be held in a virtual format?**

We believe that the virtual meeting format expands stockholder access and participation and improves communications. However, we have not decided if we will use a virtual meeting format for future meetings.

**Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the Internet?** 

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") because the Board is soliciting your vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice and may request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice.

We intend to first mail the Notice and make this Proxy Statement and the form of proxy available to stockholders on or about April 15, 2026.

**Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?** 

We may send you a proxy card, along with a second Notice, on or after April 25, 2026. In addition, if you wish, we will send you paper copies of our proxy materials, including a proxy card. Instructions on how to request paper copies of the proxy materials can be found in the Notice.

**How can I attend the Annual Meeting?** 

The Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to vote at and participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record of SiTime as of the close of business on April 2, 2026, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held.

To attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting visit https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the Annual Meeting by webcast.

To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need to review the information included on your Notice, on your proxy card, or in the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Annual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual Annual Meeting website or call 1-888-724-2416. There will be technicians available to assist you. The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Please note that Internet Explorer is not a supported browser for the virtual meeting platform.

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance using the instructions below to participate in the Annual Meeting.

The online meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on May 29, 2026. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in.

**Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?** 

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 2, 2026, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 26,396,828 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

------

*Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name* 

If on April 2, 2026, your shares were registered directly in your name with SiTime's transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC during the Annual Meeting, via the Internet, by mail, or by telephone as described below. Giving a proxy will not affect your right to vote during the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy over the telephone or on the Internet as instructed below or if you receive a paper proxy card, fill out and return the proxy mailed to you, to ensure your vote is counted.

*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank* 

If on April 2, 2026, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. Stockholders holding shares through a bank or broker should follow the instructions on the voting instruction card received from the bank or broker. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the meeting or ask questions unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and register with Computershare in advance. To register to vote or ask questions at the Annual Meeting you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your SiTime Corporation holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. Requests for registration must be labeled as "Legal Proxy" and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, May 22, 2026. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after Computershare receives your registration materials.

Requests for registration should be directed to Computershare at the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• By email: Forward the email from your broker, or attach an image of your legal proxy, to legalproxy@computershare.com

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• By mail: Computershare

SiTime Corporation Legal Proxy

P.O. Box 43001

Providence, RI 02940-3001

**What am I voting on?** 

There are three matters scheduled for a vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Election of the three directors named as nominees in this Proxy Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with SEC rules; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ratification of the appointment by the audit committee of the Board of Deloitte & Touche LLP, as the independent registered public accounting firm of SiTime for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

**What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?** 

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

**How do I vote?** 

You may either vote "**For**" the nominees to the Board or you may "**Withhold**" your vote for one or more of the nominees. For each of the other matters to be voted on, you may vote "**For**" or "**Against**" or abstain from voting.

------

The procedures for voting are fairly simple:

*Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name* 

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote at https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC during the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy over the telephone, vote by proxy through the Internet, or vote by proxy using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote at that time even if you have already voted by proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Voting via the Internet.* To vote through the Internet before the Annual Meeting, go to http://www.investorvote.com/SITM to complete an electronic proxy card. You will need to review the information included on the Notice or your proxy card. Your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, on May 28, 2026, to be counted. We encourage you to vote via the Internet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Voting by telephone.* To vote over the telephone, dial toll-free 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) using a touch-tone telephone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from the Notice. Your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, on May 28, 2026, to be counted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Voting by mail.* To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card that may be delivered to you and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Voting at the Annual Meeting.* To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must join live online at https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC. The webcast will start at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. To participate and vote in the Annual Meeting, you will need to review the information included on your Notice, on your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials), or in the instructions that accompanied your proxy material. You may vote and submit questions while attending the meeting online.

*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank* 

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from SiTime. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent, register with Computershare in advance as described above, and vote in accordance with the procedures described above. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

**We provide telephone and Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares telephonically or online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your telephone or Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.**

**How many votes do I have?** 

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of April 2, 2026.

**What happens if I do not vote?** 

*Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name* 

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by telephone, through the Internet, by completing your proxy card, or at https://meetnow.global/MTFPTCC during the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

------

*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank* 

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and do not instruct your broker, bank, or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the particular proposal is deemed to be a "routine" matter under the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules (also applicable to companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq")). Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote "uninstructed" shares only with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine." They may not vote your shares with respect to matters that are considered "non-routine" and for these matters your shares will be left unvoted. "Non-routine" matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation), approval of equity incentive plans, and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported. Proposal 3 (ratifying the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm) is considered a routine matter under applicable NYSE rules. Proposals 1 (election of directors) and 2 (advisory approval of compensation of our named executive officers) are not considered routine matters, and without your instruction, your broker cannot vote your shares on these matters. If your broker returns a proxy card but does not vote your shares, this results in a "broker non-vote." Broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. However, as brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on Proposals 1 or 2, broker non-votes will not be counted for the purpose of determining the number of votes entitled to vote on Proposals 1 or 2. Accordingly, your broker or nominee may not vote your shares on Proposals 1 or 2 without your instructions, but may vote your shares on Proposal 3.

**If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from such organization in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer.**

**What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?** 

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, "**For**" the election of the three nominees for director, "**For**" the advisory approval of named executive officer compensation, and "**For**" the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of SiTime for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy holder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

**Who am I being asked to appoint as proxy holders and what does it mean?**

Our Board asks you to appoint Elizabeth A. Howe and Vincent P. Pangrazio as your proxy holders to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. You make this appointment by voting by telephone, through the Internet, or by completing your proxy card.

If appointed by you, the proxy holders will vote your shares as you direct on the matters described in this Proxy Statement. In the absence of your direction, they will vote your shares as recommended by our Board.

Unless you otherwise indicate on the proxy card, you also authorize your proxy holders to vote your shares on any matters not known by our Board at the time this Proxy Statement was printed and which, under our amended and restated Bylaws ("Bylaws"), may be properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting. At this time, our Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

**Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?** 

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

**What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?** 

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

------

**Can I change or revoke my vote after submitting my proxy?** 

*Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name* 

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may submit a properly completed proxy card with a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the Internet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to SiTime's Corporate Secretary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may attend the Annual Meeting via the live webcast and vote. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request or you vote at the Annual Meeting.

Your most recent vote, whether at the Annual Meeting, by proxy card, or by telephone or Internet proxy is the one that is counted.

*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank* 

Stockholders holding shares through a bank or broker should follow the instructions for revocation provided by the bank or broker.

**When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year's annual meeting?**

Information with respect to when stockholder proposals and director nominations are due for next year's annual meeting is set forth under the caption "Stockholder Proposals for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders" at the end of this Proxy Statement.

**How are votes counted?** 

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count: with respect to the election of the directors, "For" and "Withhold" votes and broker non-votes; and, with respect to other proposals, votes "For" and "Against," abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes. Abstentions will be counted toward the vote total for each of Proposal 2 and 3 and will have the same effect as "Against" votes for those proposals. Broker non-votes on Proposals 1 and 2 will have no effect and will not be counted toward the vote total for those proposals. Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine," and the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as "broker non-votes."

**How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the election of the directors, Proposal 1, the three nominees receiving the most "For" votes from the holders of shares present at the meeting via webcast or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected. Only votes "For" or "Withheld" will affect the outcome. Broker non-votes will have no effect. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors. However, if the majority of the votes cast for a director are marked "withheld," then notwithstanding the valid election of such director, such director shall promptly tender the director's resignation for consideration by our Board. Our Board will determine whether to accept the resignation of such director, taking into account any recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To be approved, Proposal 2, advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present at the meeting via webcast or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To be approved, Proposal 3, the ratification of the appointment by the audit committee of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of SiTime for its fiscal year ending

------

December 31, 2026, must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present at the meeting via webcast or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All other matters submitted for stockholder approval require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present at the meeting via webcast or represented by proxy and entitled to vote.

**What is the quorum requirement?** 

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting via webcast or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 26,396,828 shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank, or other nominee) or if you vote by telephone, over the Internet, or at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum either the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of shares present at the meeting via webcast or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to another date.

**How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?** 

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

**PROPOSAL 1:**

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

**Directors and Nominees**

Our Bylaws and amended and restated certificate of incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") provide that the authorized number of directors shall be set from time to time by resolution of our Board. Our Board is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each class has a three-year term:

• Our Class I directors are Torsten G. Kreindl, Ganesh Moorthy, and Akira Takata and their terms will expire at the Annual Meeting.

• Our Class II directors are Faraj Aalaei, Edward H. Frank, and Christine A. Heckart and their terms will expire at the annual meeting to be held in 2027.

• Our Class III directors are Raman K. Chitkara, Katherine E. Schuelke, and Rajesh Vashist and their terms will expire at the annual meeting to be held in 2028.

Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of SiTime. Our directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our voting stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

Our Board, upon the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee, has selected Torsten G. Kreindl, Ganesh Moorthy, and Akira Takata, as nominees for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. If elected at the Annual Meeting, these directors would serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2029, or until they resign, are removed, or their successors are elected and qualified. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. If any nominee is unable or declines to serve as director at the time of the Annual Meeting, an event not now anticipated, proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by our Board to fill the vacancy.

The names of the nominees and certain biographical information about the nominees, including each director's business experience, director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years, information regarding involvement in certain legal or administrative proceedings, if applicable, and the experiences, qualifications, attributes, or skills that caused the nominating and corporate governance committee to recommend that the nominee should continue to serve on our Board, are set forth below.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

Our business and affairs are organized under the direction of our Board, which currently consists of nine members. Rajesh Vashist, our President and Chief Executive Officer, serves as Chairman of our Board, and Raman K. Chitkara serves as our lead independent director. The primary responsibilities of our Board are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling, and direction to our management. Our Board meets on a regular basis and additionally as required.

**Director Independence** 

As required under the Nasdaq listing standards and Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K, a majority of the members of a listed company's board of directors must qualify as "independent," as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Our Board consults with our counsel to ensure that the Board's determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq and Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and SiTime, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following eight directors on our Board qualify as independent directors, as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards: Messrs. Aalaei, Chitkara, Moorthy, and Takata, Mses. Heckart and Schuelke, and Drs. Frank and Kreindl. Accordingly, a majority of our directors are independent. In making this determination, the Board found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with SiTime.

**Board Leadership Structure**

Our Board is currently chaired by Mr. Vashist, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Chitkara currently serves as lead independent director. We believe that combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Board chair helps to ensure that the Board and management act with a common purpose. We also believe that having a combined Chief Executive Officer and Board chair enhances agility and preserves alignment with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, we believe that a combined Chief Executive Officer and Board chair is better positioned to act as a bridge between management and the Board, thereby facilitating the regular flow of information. We also believe that it is advantageous to have a Board chair with an extensive history with and knowledge of SiTime (as is the case with our Chief Executive Officer).

The Board appointed a lead independent director to help ensure effective independent functioning of the Board in its oversight responsibilities. The position of lead independent director has been structured to serve the need for independent leadership and perspective when we have a combined Chief Executive Officer and Board chair. The lead independent director is empowered to, among other duties and responsibilities, preside over Board meetings in the absence of the Board chair, act as liaison between the Board chair and the independent directors, consult with the Chief Executive Officer on Board meeting agendas, call meetings of the independent directors or meetings of the Board, preside over any portions of Board meetings at which the evaluation or compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is presented or discussed, and, as appropriate upon request, act as a liaison to stockholders.

**Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance**

Our Board and its committees meet throughout the year on a set schedule, hold special meetings, and act by unanimous written consent from time to time as appropriate. During meetings of the Board, the independent directors meet regularly in an executive session without management or management directors present. The purpose of these executive sessions is to promote open and candid discussion among the non-management directors. The lead independent director presides over the executive sessions. Our Board met 13 times during 2025. Each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served held during the portion of the last year for which he or she was a director or committee member. Directors are encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, either via webcast or telephonically. Four of our directors attended the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

------

**Role of our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight** 

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our management ensures that information regarding material risks is transmitted to the Board. Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board that play a key role in addressing risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Both the Board as a whole and the committees receive periodic reports from the executive team regarding risk management, as well as incidental reports as matters may arise. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure.

Our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Audit committee responsibilities include oversight of cybersecurity matters and other computerized information system controls, including review of the policies and internal controls regarding information security and cybersecurity risk, and the audit committee typically meets each quarter with executives regarding these matters.

Our compensation and talent committee evaluates whether there are any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices as well as human capital practices, which are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us and recommends to the Board any changes deemed appropriate.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance policies. The nominating and corporate governance committee periodically evaluates our risk management process and system in light of the nature of material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures designed to address risk, and makes recommendations to the Board for any changes deemed appropriate. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee reviews periodically with the Board and the Chief Executive Officer the succession plan for the Chief Executive Officer and certain other senior management positions.

**Board Committees** 

Our Board has established an audit committee, a compensation and talent committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our Board has adopted a charter for each of these committees, which complies with the applicable requirements of current Nasdaq rules. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they are applicable to us. Copies of the charters for each committee are available on the investor relations portion of our website at *https://investor.SiTime.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview*.

The following table provides membership and meeting information for 2025 for each of the Board committees. Mr. Moorthy joined our Board in October 2025, but was not appointed to any committees during 2025.

Our Board has determined that Mr. Chitkara and Dr. Kreindl qualify as audit committee financial experts within the meaning of SEC regulations and meet the financial sophistication requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules. In making this determination, our Board has considered Mr. Chitkara's formal education and previous experience in financial roles and Dr. Kreindl's formal education and previous experience as a chief executive officer with financial oversight responsibilities. The audit committee met seven times during 2025. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and various members of management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing with management and our auditors any earnings announcements and other public announcements regarding material financial developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establishing procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by us regarding financial controls, accounting, auditing, or other matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and providing oversight of any related person transactions in accordance with our related person transaction policy and reviewing and monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory responsibilities, including our code of business conduct and ethics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the audit committee and the audit committee charter.

------

***Compensation and Talent Committee***

As of January 2026, our compensation and talent committee consists of Mr. Aalaei, Mr. Chitkara, Dr. Kreindl, and Ms. Schuelke. Dr. Kreindl serves as the chair of our compensation and talent committee. Our Board has determined that each of the members of our compensation and talent committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and satisfies the independence requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards. The compensation and talent committee met five times during 2025.

The primary functions of this committee include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and approving the compensation and other terms of employment of our executive officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review the practices and policies of employee compensation as they relate to risk management and risk-taking incentives, to determine if such compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• monitor the Company's regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the compensation and talent committee and the compensation and talent committee charter.

**Compensation and Talent Committee Processes and Procedures**

Typically, the compensation and talent committee meets at least four times annually and with greater frequency if necessary. The agenda for each meeting is usually developed by the chair of the compensation and talent committee, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and members of the committee. The compensation and talent committee meets regularly in executive session. However, from time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the compensation and talent committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice, or to otherwise participate in compensation and talent committee meetings. Our Chief Executive Officer may not participate in, or be present during, any deliberations or determinations of the compensation and talent committee regarding his compensation or individual performance objectives.

Generally, the compensation and talent committee's process comprises three related elements: the selection of the components of the compensation program, the determination of compensation amounts, and the establishment of performance objectives. For executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the compensation and talent committee solicits and considers evaluations and recommendations submitted to the compensation and talent committee by the Chief Executive Officer. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the evaluation of his performance is conducted by the compensation and talent committee, with input from the other independent directors, which determines any adjustments to his compensation as well as awards to be granted. For all executive officers as part of its deliberations, the compensation

------

and talent committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, tax and accounting information, the total compensation that may become payable to executive officers in various hypothetical scenarios, executive and director stock ownership information, company stock performance data, analyses of historical executive compensation levels and current company-wide compensation levels, and recommendations of the compensation and talent committee's independent executive compensation consultant, including analyses of executive compensation paid at other peer companies.

The charter of the compensation and talent committee grants the compensation and talent committee full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of SiTime. In addition, under the charter, the compensation and talent committee has the authority to obtain, at the expense of SiTime, advice and assistance from compensation consultants and internal and external legal, accounting, or other advisors, and other external resources that the compensation and talent committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The compensation and talent committee has direct responsibility for the oversight of the work of any consultants or advisers engaged for the purpose of advising the compensation and talent committee. In particular, the compensation and talent committee has the sole authority to retain, in its sole discretion, compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant's reasonable fees and other retention terms. Under the charter, the compensation and talent committee may select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser to the compensation and talent committee, other than in-house legal counsel and certain other types of advisers, only after taking into consideration six factors, prescribed by Nasdaq, that bear upon the adviser's independence; however, there is no requirement that any adviser be independent.

Our compensation and talent committee directly engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer"), a national compensation consulting firm with compensation expertise relating to technology companies. During 2025, the compensation and talent committee continued to use Pearl Meyer to serve as its independent advisor. Pearl Meyer advises the compensation and talent committee with respect to trends in executive compensation, compensation peer group selection, analysis of market data, the determination and design of compensation plans and arrangements, the assessment of competitive executive pay levels and mix, and setting compensation levels. Pearl Meyer also advises the nominating and corporate governance committee with respect to non-employee director compensation, including analysis of market data and the assessment of competitive non-employee director compensation levels and mix. The compensation and talent committee may replace Pearl Meyer or hire additional advisors at any time.

Pearl Meyer has not provided any other services to us or received compensation other than with respect to the services described above. Based on the consideration of the various factors as set forth in the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the compensation and talent committee has determined that its relationship with Pearl Meyer and the work of Pearl Meyer on behalf of the compensation and talent committee has not raised any conflict of interest.

**Compensation and Talent Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

Our compensation and talent committee consists of Mr. Aalaei, Dr. Kreindl, Mr. Chitkara, and Ms. Schuelke. None of the members of our compensation and talent committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of ours. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or compensation and talent committee.

***Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee***

As of January 2026, our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Dr. Frank, Ms. Heckart, Mr. Moorthy, and Ms. Schuelke. Our Board has determined that each of the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee satisfies the independence requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards. Ms. Schuelke serves as the chair of our nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee met six times during 2025.

The primary functions of this committee include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identifying, reviewing, and making recommendations of candidates to serve on our Board, including those recommended by stockholders, based on criteria set forth in our corporate governance guidelines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evaluating developments in corporate governance and shareholder engagement, and reviewing our governance documents, disclosures, and other actions related thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and recommending to the Board the compensation of our non-employee Board members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and overseeing policies, programs, and goals related to sustainability matters and public reporting on these topics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the nominating and corporate governance committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee charter.

**Evaluation of Board and Director Performance**

Our Board believes that a regular evaluation process is an essential component of strong corporate governance practices. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees an evaluation process to evaluate Board effectiveness and succession planning for the Board. This evaluation process consists of a full Board assessment as well as assessments of each of the Board's standing committees. Our Board conducts a self-assessment of the Board and the committees annually, and generally utilizes the services of a third party to conduct the assessment every third year. This evaluation process seeks feedback on Board and committee performance, lead independent director performance, overall Board and committee dynamics and effectiveness, information flow and access to management, director preparation and participation, and succession planning. The results of the evaluations are reviewed and discussed with the Board.

**Director Nominations**

The Board is committed to maintaining a composition that reflects a balance of continuity and fresh perspectives. Our Board nominates directors for election at each annual meeting of stockholders and elects new directors to fill vacancies when they arise. Our nominating and corporate governance committee has the responsibility to identify, evaluate, recruit, and recommend qualified candidates to our Board for nomination or election.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee has a policy regarding consideration of director candidates recommended by stockholders. Our nominating and corporate governance committee reviews suggestions for director candidates recommended by stockholders and considers such candidates for recommendation based upon an appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, and capability.

------

In addition to considering an appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, and capability for director candidates, our Board believes its deliberations and performance benefit from having its membership be composed of experienced and dedicated individuals with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, skills, and characteristics, including different ages, educations, and professional experiences. Our nominating and corporate governance committee selects director candidates based on factors such as relevant business, market, technological, or other expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, exhibiting integrity, having no material conflicts of interest with SiTime, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of SiTime, demonstrated excellence in their field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment, diversity of perspectives, skills, styles, characteristics, potential for long-term contribution to our business, and having the commitment and vision to rigorously represent the long-term interests of our stockholders. When evaluating candidates for nomination as new directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the foregoing factors, and does not assign specific weight to any of these factors or believe that all of the criteria should apply to every candidate.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee believes it is appropriate for a majority of the members of our Board to meet the definition of "independent director" under the Nasdaq rules. Our nominating and corporate governance committee also believes it appropriate for our Chief Executive Officer to participate as a member of our Board.

Prior to each annual meeting of stockholders, our nominating and corporate governance committee will first identify nominees by reviewing the current directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting of stockholders and who are willing to continue in service. These candidates are evaluated based on the criteria described above, including as demonstrated by the candidate's prior service as a director, and the needs of our Board, with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors. If a director does not wish to continue in service, the nominating and corporate governance committee determines not to nominate the director, or a vacancy is created on our Board as a result of a resignation, an increase in the size of our Board or other event, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider various candidates for Board membership, including those suggested by members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, by other members of our Board, by any executive search firm engaged by the nominating and corporate governance committee, and by stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to suggest a prospective nominee for our Board should notify our Corporate Secretary, any member of the nominating and corporate governance committee, or the persons referenced below in "Communications with our Board of Directors" in writing with any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate.

Our Bylaws contain provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to our Board at our annual meeting of stockholders. In order to nominate a candidate for director, a stockholder must give timely notice in writing to our Corporate Secretary and otherwise comply with the provisions of our Bylaws. To be timely, our Bylaws provide that we must have received the stockholder's notice not more than 120 days nor less than 90 days prior to the anniversary of the proxy statement provided in connection with the previous year's annual meeting. Information required by our Bylaws to be in the notice include the name and contact information for the candidate and the person making the nomination and other information about the nominee that must be disclosed in proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations under that section.

Stockholder nominations must be made in accordance with the procedures outlined in, and include the information required by, our Bylaws and must be addressed to: Corporate Secretary, SiTime Corporation, 5451 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054. You can obtain a copy of our Bylaws by writing to the Corporate Secretary at this address.

**Communications with our Board of Directors**

We consider our relationship with our stockholders to be a high priority. To ensure that the Board and management have an opportunity to listen to and understand the varying perspectives of our stockholders, in February 2025 and March 2025, members of management and our lead independent director had constructive conversations with and sought feedback from stockholders holding approximately 31% of our outstanding shares. Topics discussed included, among other things, corporate governance, executive compensation, director skill sets, and corporate sustainability initiatives. As a result of these discussions, management and the Board gained useful understanding and insight into the views of these stockholders. In February 2026, members of management and our lead independent director continued our engagement with our stockholders. We believe that ongoing engagement builds mutual trust and understanding with our stockholders. Such engagement and feedback are important components of our corporate governance practices and inform our decisions and programs.

------

Our Board recommends that stockholders and other interested parties initiate communications with our Board, the independent directors, the Chairman, or any committee of our Board in writing to the attention of our Corporate Secretary, SiTime Corporation, 5451 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054. This process will assist our Board in reviewing and responding to stockholder communications in an appropriate manner. Our Board has instructed our Corporate Secretary to review such correspondence and, at his discretion, not to forward items if he deems them to be of a commercial or frivolous nature or otherwise inappropriate for our Board's consideration such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings, product complaints, personal employee complaints, product inquiries, new product suggestions, resumes and other forms of job inquiries, surveys, business solicitations, or advertisements.

**Code of Conduct and Business Ethics for Employees, Executive Officers, and Directors** 

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics (the "Code of Conduct") applicable to all of our employees, executive officers, and directors. Our Code of Conduct is designed to promote ethical conduct as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Code of Conduct and must approve any waivers of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and directors. If we make any substantive amendments to the Code of Conduct or grant any waiver from a provision of the Code of Conduct to any executive officer or director, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website. The Code of Conduct is available on the investor relations portion of our website at *https://investor.SiTime.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.* Information accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

We also have implemented whistleblower procedures that establish formal protocols for receiving and handling complaints. Any concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters reported under these procedures will be communicated promptly to our audit committee.

**Corporate Governance Guidelines**

The Board documented our governance practices by adopting Corporate Governance Guidelines in May 2019, as amended from time to time, to assure that the Board will have the necessary authority and policies in place to review and evaluate our business operations as needed and to make decisions that are independent of our management. The guidelines are also intended to align the interests of directors and management with those of our stockholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices the Board intends to follow with respect to board composition and selection, board meetings and involvement of senior management, Chief Executive Officer performance evaluation and succession planning, stock ownership guidelines, and board committees and compensation. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the investor relations portion of our website at *https://investor.SiTime.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview*. Information accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

For a description of our stock ownership guidelines, see "Executive Compensation - Other Compensation Practices - Stock Ownership Guidelines" below.

**Insider Trading Policy** 

We have adopted an Insider Trading and Communications Policy ("Insider Trading Policy"), as amended from time to time, governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, employees, consultants, and contractors that is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as procedures designed to further the foregoing purposes. In addition, it is our intent to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to insider trading. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025.

**Prohibition against Hedging by Employees, Officers and Directors** 

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all employees, including our executive officers, as well as consultants, contractors, and non-employee directors from engaging in hedging transactions involving our securities, engaging in short

------

sales of our securities, buying or selling puts or calls, or their equivalents, of our securities, establishing margin accounts, or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

**Corporate Responsibility**

We believe corporate social responsibility is a long-term investment that can create value for SiTime, our employees, our stockholders, our customers, our partners, and our suppliers. We seek to create innovative products and technologies, while operating in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner. The nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the development and implementation of our corporate social responsibility policies and practices, and monitors our performance. We comply with all laws relating thereto.

*Sustainability Practices*

We believe that our success depends largely upon our employees and on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees. We promote an inclusive environment by valuing the contributions of all employees and working to ensure that all employees feel seen, heard, valued, and respected. We encourage the diversity of thinking that comes from the differences in experiences, knowledge, perspective, culture, customs, and background of all of our employees. We believe a diverse workforce supports creativity, problem-solving, and better decision-making. We actively seek a diverse talent pool using inclusive hiring practices.

We believe it is important to minimize the environmental impact of our products and operations to ensure a sustainable future. Our timing solutions enable customers to create more energy efficient products. We are working to enhance our sustainability practices by developing and implementing policies to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, consumption of energy and water, and the waste our operations generate. We are a global fabless semiconductor company and strive to work with semiconductor foundries and outsourced assembly and test contractors that demonstrate a commitment to high ethical standards and responsible environmental practices. In addition, we have implemented internal programs and initiatives to enhance our commitment to maintaining natural resource consumption, thereby improving sustainability.

*Supplier Code of Conduct*

We are committed to respecting human rights, monitoring the safety and integrity of products, and reducing the environmental footprint of our supply chain. We have adopted a supplier code of conduct and ethics ("Supplier Code") to ensure that our suppliers meet our high standards as well as industry expectations and internationally recognized standards regarding: (i) labor and human rights, health and safety, and treatment of employees and contractors; (ii) environmental responsibility; (iii) ethical business practices, including, but not limited to, strict prohibition against corruption or bribery; and (iv) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our Supplier Code applies to our suppliers, as well as their employees and subcontractors.

**PROPOSAL 2:**

**ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION**

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with SEC rules. This proposal, commonly referred to as the "say-on-pay" proposal, provides our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our compensation of named executive officers as a whole.

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this Proxy Statement. The compensation of our named executive officers subject to the vote is disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosures contained in this Proxy Statement. As described comprehensively in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our compensation policies and decisions are significantly performance-based and designed to enable us to motivate the named executive officers to achieve and exceed financial and strategic objectives, incentivize long-term performance and sustained growth, retain the executive officers, and align the interests of the executive officers with stockholder interests.

To align our pay practices with stockholder interests, approximately 91% of total 2025 target compensation for our named executive officers was paid or granted in the form of equity awards. The value of equity awards is significantly impacted by our financial and stock price performance. In addition, approximately 94% of total 2025 target compensation for our Chief Executive Officer was paid or granted in the form of equity awards, of which approximately 65% of the target grant date value of the annual long-term incentive program for 2025 for our Chief Executive Officer was performance-based.

Accordingly, the Board is asking the stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement by casting a non-binding advisory vote "FOR" the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to SiTime's named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative disclosures is hereby APPROVED."

Because the vote is advisory, it is not binding on the Board or us. Nevertheless, the views expressed by the stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to management, the compensation and talent committee, and the Board and, accordingly, the Board and the compensation and talent committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements. We expect that the next advisory vote on executive compensation will be at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.

**OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS**

**A VOTE IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 2.**

------

**PROPOSAL 3:**

**RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC**

**ACCOUNTANTS**

Our audit committee of the Board, which is composed entirely of non-employee independent directors, has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered certified public accountants to audit our books, records, and accounts and our subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP by stockholders is not required by law. However, as a matter of good corporate practice, such appointment is being submitted to the stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, our Board and our audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP, but may retain Deloitte & Touche LLP. Even if the appointment is ratified, our audit committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of SiTime and its stockholders.

Deloitte & Touche LLP has reported on the consolidated financial statements since June 10, 2024. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

**Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

On June 10, 2024, we notified BDO USA, P.C. ("BDO") that it was being dismissed as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The decision to change our independent public accounting firm was authorized by our audit committee.

On June 10, 2024, our audit committee approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered certified public accountants to audit our books, records, and accounts and our subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, replacing BDO, who audited our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

BDO's reports on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for an adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, issued in connection with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of the material weakness described below.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through June 10, 2024, there were no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K ("Regulation S-K") of the rules and regulations of the SEC between us and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO's satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference thereto in their reports.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through June 10, 2024, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except as reported in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we reported a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting during such period related to a deficiency in the review control over the classification of cash flows from investments within the statements of cash flows in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. As reported in Part I, Item 4 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2024, our management, under the oversight of our audit committee, implemented changes to our review procedures to improve internal control over financial reporting to remediate the control deficiency that gave rise to the material weakness, and upon completion of our testing of the design and operating effectiveness of these new control procedures, management concluded that the previously identified material weakness was remediated as of March 31, 2024.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, we provided BDO with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. A copy of BDO's letter dated June 11, 2024, was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 12, 2024.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through June 10, 2024, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf has consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that Deloitte

------

& Touche LLP concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

**Principal Accounting Fees and Services**

Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for us by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows, all of which were approved by the audit committee:

---

**Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures**

Our audit committee has implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of audit and non-audit services. Under these procedures, the audit committee pre-approves both the type of services to be provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP and the estimated fees related to these services.

During the approval process, the audit committee considers the impact of the types of services and the related fees on the independence of the registered public accountant. The services and fees must be deemed compatible with the maintenance of such accountants' independence, including compliance with SEC rules and regulations.

Throughout the year, our audit committee reviews any revisions to the estimates of audit and non-audit fees initially approved.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT** 

The following table sets forth information as of March 30, 2026, regarding the number of shares of common stock and the percentage of common stock, beneficially owned by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our named executive officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• and all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentage ownership is based on 26,396,828 shares of common stock outstanding on March 30, 2026. Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the vesting of restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") or exercise of warrants or other securities that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable or vest within 60 days of March 30, 2026. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options, warrants, or securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. Fractional shares have been rounded to the nearest whole share for the purposes of the table below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align pay and performance by emphasizing performance-based compensation for our named executive officers based on criteria intended to drive short-term growth and create long-term stockholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Be affordable within the context of our operating model; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reflect our culture and values.

**2025 Compensation Program Highlights** 

Our executive compensation program emphasizes long-term value creation that correlates with the growth of sustainable long-term value for our stockholders and incentivizes, rewards, and retains our named executive officers for

------

their accomplishments. For 2025, the compensation and talent committee made a number of key compensation-related decisions, the highlights of which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No changes to named executive officer base salaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Granting PRSUs that vest based on relative total stockholder return relative to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index over a three-year period; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Emphasizing equity awards as a key component of compensation; approximately 91% of total 2025 target compensation for our named executive officers is composed of equity awards, the value of which is significantly impacted by our financial performance and stock price performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Paying bonuses of 200% of target reflecting outstanding company and individual performance as evidenced by our financial results and very strong one-year total shareholder return of +65%.

In addition, approximately 94% of the target total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer for 2025 was comprised of equity awards and approximately 57% of such total compensation consists of PRSUs. Unless we achieve certain performance goals, our Chief Executive Officer will not realize the full target value of his long-term incentive compensation. Further, because our common stock underlies our equity-based compensation awards, the immediate value of these awards is subject to fluctuations in our stock price, strongly aligning the interests of our Chief Executive Officer with those of our stockholders.

The charts below illustrate the composition of our Chief Executive Officer's and our other named executive officers' target total 2025 compensation:

![image.jpg](sitm-20260414_g1.jpg)

Our compensation and talent committee has historically set very rigorous performance targets for PRSUs granted to our named executive officers, and there is no assurance that the grant date fair values as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the equity awards granted to our named executive officers will be reflective of their actual economic value, or that comparable amounts will ever be realized by our named executive officers.

**Stockholder Advisory Votes**

We believe that it is appropriate to seek the views of our stockholders on the design and effectiveness of our executive compensation program, and we hold an annual advisory vote on our named executive officer compensation. The say-on-pay vote is advisory and not binding on us, the compensation and talent committee, or the Board. Nevertheless, we

------

take the outcome of the say-on-pay vote seriously and our Board and our compensation and talent committee take such feedback into account in structuring our executive compensation program.

**Stockholder Outreach**

We believe that strong corporate governance practices include regular outreach and constructive conversations with our stockholders. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer hold in-person and teleconference meetings every year with many of our institutional investors. In addition, in 2025, we continued our active stockholder engagement by engaging in a formal stockholder outreach effort that included stockholder meetings with our lead independent director and members of management.

Our stockholder outreach efforts included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• direct outreach to our top stockholders, who at that time collectively held over 70% of our outstanding stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• six in-depth discussions with holders representing approximately 31% of our outstanding stock (the stockholders we did not engage with either did not respond to our outreach or indicated that they did not require further information from us); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and consideration of the reports and analyses issued by the principal proxy advisory firms.

Our lead independent director, who is also the chair of our audit committee and a member of our compensation and talent committee, as well as our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Legal Officer participated in all of these stockholder outreach meetings. Our goals for the stockholder outreach were to better understand our stockholders' views on named executive officer compensation and to solicit feedback regarding our corporate governance and our programs and practices related to corporate responsibility matters.

During the outreach meetings, our stockholders shared support for our response to their input from the prior year. Even with such support, our Board as well as the compensation and talent committee recognize that it is important to continue to engage with our stockholders and to incorporate their feedback regarding our compensation practices into their decision making. In 2025, in response to the discussions with our stockholders in 2024, as well as the compensation and talent committee's efforts to continue to ensure alignment between executive pay and company performance, as described further below, we transitioned to granting PRSUs with longer performance periods to our named executive officers. Additionally, as a result of further discussions with our stockholders in 2025, as described in more detail below under "Compensation Components," we granted each named executive officer a PRSU with a three-year performance metric and a total vesting period of three years from grant if achieved, based on total stockholder return relative to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index.

At our May 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 88% of the shares that were voted were cast in favor of our advisory vote on our named executive officer compensation, counting abstentions as "against" votes, compared to approximately 82% at our annual meeting held in May 2024, and approximately 51% at our annual meeting held in May 2023. We believe these results demonstrate our commitment to understanding stockholder perspectives and our high level of responsiveness to feedback. Our Board and the compensation and talent committee remain committed to ongoing engagement with our stockholders so that our governance practices and executive compensation programs continue to support our long-term growth and align with stockholder interests.

**Compensation Process**

*The Role of the Compensation and Talent Committee*:

Our compensation and talent committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and seeks to compensate them in an equitable manner for their contributions to our annual and long-term performance. Our compensation and talent committee reports to our Board on its discussions, decisions, and other actions. The compensation and talent committee meets regularly in executive session without any members of management present. As part of its deliberations on executive officer compensation decisions, the compensation and talent committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, tax and accounting information, the total compensation that may become payable to executive officers in various hypothetical scenarios, executive and director stock ownership information, company stock performance data, analyses of historical executive compensation levels, current company-wide compensation levels, company performance, individual

------

performance, retention, succession planning, and recommendations of the compensation and talent committee's independent compensation consultant, including analyses of executive compensation paid at other peer companies.

At various meetings throughout the year, the compensation and talent committee also considers matters related to individual compensation, such as compensation for new executive hires, as well as high-level strategic issues, such as the efficacy of our compensation strategy, potential modifications to that strategy, regulatory developments, and new market trends, plans, or approaches to compensation in our industry and the broader market environment. Our compensation and talent committee does not time the grant of our equity awards with any favorable or unfavorable news released by us and the proximity of the grant of any awards to an earnings announcement or other market event is coincidental. Our compensation and talent committee's practice is to grant equity awards to our named executive officers during open trading periods under our Insider Trading and Communications Policy.

*The Role of Management*:

A key objective of our executive compensation program is to align the compensation with our business strategy and stockholders' interests. The compensation and talent committee may receive input from the Company's senior management in order to gain insight on operations and the rewards and incentives that would be most effective to achieve this alignment. In 2025, the compensation and talent committee met and consulted with the Company's legal and human resources departments to develop compensation plans. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer also provide information to our independent compensation consultant so that it can perform its duties for the compensation and talent committee. The executive officers are not present at the time such recommendations are discussed with the compensation and talent committee. While our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Legal Officer typically attend meetings of the compensation and talent committee, they are not present during discussions or determinations of their compensation.

*The Role of the Chief Executive Officer*:

Our Chief Executive Officer makes evaluations and recommendations for the executive officers to our compensation and talent committee and typically attends compensation and talent committee meetings. Our Chief Executive Officer makes such recommendations (other than with respect to himself) regarding base salary, and short-term and long-term incentive compensation for our executive officers based on our results, an executive officer's individual contribution toward these results, the executive officer's role and performance of his or her duties and his or her achievement of individual goals, internal pay equity, and retention. Our compensation and talent committee then reviews the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer and other market data, including compensation survey data and publicly available data of our peers, as well as analysis and advice from its independent compensation consultant, and makes decisions as to the target total compensation for each executive officer, including our Chief Executive Officer, as well as each individual compensation element.

*The Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant*:

Our compensation and talent committee considers relevant market pay practices when setting executive compensation. The compensation and talent committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation consultants, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our executive compensation programs and related policies. In 2025, the compensation and talent committee continued to use Pearl Meyer to provide it with market information, analysis, and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. The compensation and talent committee engaged Pearl Meyer to, among other things, assist in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help the Board and the compensation and talent committee determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for our executive officers, advise on trends in executive compensation, and advise on design of compensation plans, as well as to assess each separate element of compensation. The compensation and talent committee may replace Pearl Meyer or hire additional advisors at any time.

Based on the consideration of the various factors as set forth in the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the compensation and talent committee has determined that Pearl Meyer is an independent outside advisor and the work of Pearl Meyer on behalf of the compensation and talent committee has not raised any conflict of interest.

------

**Considerations in Setting Executive Compensation**

Our compensation and talent committee is responsible for making final decisions on compensation for our executive officers. In setting executive officer base salaries, bonuses, and long term incentive awards, our compensation and talent committee considers: compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executive officers, the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations regarding individual performance, impact and scope of role as compared to our expectations, objectives and expected contributions to future results, recommendations of its compensation consultant, feedback from our stockholders, our desire to motivate our executive officers to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and the length of the officer's commitment to us.

The compensation and talent committee has not established any formal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between short and long-term incentive compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation. However, in general, the compensation and talent committee emphasizes equity compensation over cash compensation to promote long-term strategy, growth, and alignment with our stockholders. In determining the amount and mix of compensation elements and whether each element provides the correct incentives and rewards for performance consistent with our short and long-term goals and objectives, the compensation and talent committee relies on its judgment about each individual rather than adopting a formulaic approach to compensatory decisions. The compensation and talent committee does not target a specific competitive position.

Each year, the compensation and talent committee defines and assesses the appropriateness of a group of similarly situated companies and Pearl Meyer compiles market data and analysis regarding such peer group of companies, which are companies that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we generally compete with for executive talent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operate in the technology industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have an established business, market presence, and complexity similar to us; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are generally of similar size to us as primarily measured by revenue and market capitalization.

Although we were smaller in terms of estimated fiscal year 2025 revenue and market capitalization than some of the peer companies, we regularly compete for talent with peer companies that are larger in terms of revenue and market capitalization. Ideally, we would be positioned near the median for revenue growth and market capitalization. However, this has been challenging due to the limited number of similarly sized semiconductor industry companies and our relatively high market capitalization to revenue multiple, which we believe is indicative of our value proposition.

Pearl Meyer recommended and the compensation and talent committee approved, the compensation peer group for 2025, which was unchanged from the peer group approved for 2024, and is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| • ACM Research, Inc. (ACMR)  | • Aehr Test Systems (AEHR) | • AeroVironment, Inc. (AVAV) |
| • Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (ALGM) | • Ambarella, Inc. (AMBA) | • Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (CRDO) |
| • Impinj, Inc. (PI) | • indie Semiconductor, Inc. (INDI) | • Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (LSCC) |
| • Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (NVTS) | • Onto Innovation Inc. (ONT) | • Power Integrations, Inc. (POWI) |
| | • SentinelOne, Inc. (S) | • Silicon Laboratories Inc. (SLAB) |
| • Rambus Inc. (RMBS) | | |
| • Synaptics Inc. (SYNA) | • Universal Display Corporation (OLED) | • Vicor Corporation (VICR) |
| • Wolfspeed, Inc. (WOLF) | | |

---

------

Relative to the peer group, at the time of the compensation and talent committee's approval of the peer group, we ranked more closely to the 25th percentile on a last fiscal year revenue basis, though with top quartile revenue growth projections, and at approximately the 40th percentile on a market capitalization basis.

Our Board and the compensation and talent committee value the opinions of our stockholders. The views expressed by our stockholders, whether through the annual stockholder advisory say-on-pay vote or as part of stockholder engagement, are important to management and our Board. Accordingly, our Board and the compensation and talent committee consider the results of the annual stockholder advisory say-on-pay vote and stockholder feedback in making determinations regarding named executive officer compensation.

**Compensation Components**

In 2025, the compensation and talent committee met five times and reviewed executive compensation for 2025, including the analysis provided by Pearl Meyer, which included compensation data for similar executives at our peer group companies. The compensation and talent committee's primary objective was to create a multi-faceted compensation program using a combination of instruments to motivate the executive officers to achieve and exceed financial and strategic objectives, incentivize long-term performance and sustained growth, align the interests of the executive officers with stockholder interests, and retain the executive officers. The primary components of our executive officer compensation program are base salary, annual bonus, and equity awards.

*Base Salaries*

Base salaries are reviewed by our compensation and talent committee and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after considering individual responsibilities, performance, experience, expertise, internal pay equity, our compensation budget, overall compensation of the executive officer, and cost of living adjustments, as appropriate.

The compensation and talent committee did not change the base salaries for our named executive officers for 2025 from 2024 levels. Base salaries are set forth in the table below:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Fiscal 2024 Base Salary ($)** | **Fiscal 2025 Base Salary ($)** | **Change (%)** |
| Rajesh Vashist | 850000 | 850000 | 0 |
| Elizabeth A. Howe | 441000 | 441000 | 0 |
| Fariborz Assaderaghi | 440000 | 440000 | 0 |
| Lionel Bonnot | 440000 | 440000 | 0 |
| Piyush Sevalia | 440000 | 440000 | 0 |

---

*Annual Bonuses*

In August 2020, the compensation and talent committee adopted the Executive Bonus and Retention Plan (the "Bonus Plan") to attract, motivate, and retain our executives and to align the executives' performance with our corporate goals. The compensation and talent committee establishes annually the Bonus Plan participants, performance period, threshold, target, and maximum bonus amounts, performance goals, weighting, and form of payment.

For 2025, the compensation and talent committee did not revise the target bonus amounts on a percent of salary basis for our named executive officers. The target bonus amount for the Chief Executive Officer remained at 100% of base salary, and the target bonus amount for all named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer remained at 75% of the named executive officer's base salary. The compensation and talent committee approved performance goals for the Bonus Plan based on our achievement of revenue growth goals calculated according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), as well as individual business goals for each named executive officer. Pursuant to the Bonus Plan for 2025, no payment above 150% of target amount would be earned or paid in the event that 2025 non-GAAP operating income was less than or equal to zero. The weighting of each metric is set forth in the table below for each period:

------

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | | | **Payout Percentage of Target** | **Payout Percentage of Target** | **Payout Percentage of Target** |
| | **Goal** | **Weighting** | **Threshold (80% achievement of goal)** | **Target (100% achievement of goal)** | **Maximum (140% achievement of goal)** |
| GAAP Revenue Growth | $283.0 million | 70% | 50% | 100% | 200% |
| Individual business goals | \* | 30% | 50% | 100% | 200% |

---

\*The individual business performance goals are discussed below.

Seventy percent of the bonus opportunity for each named executive officer pursuant to the Bonus Plan for 2025 was dependent on an objective and rigorous, predetermined financial performance goal. The compensation and talent committee used GAAP revenue growth performance goals for the Bonus Plan for 2025 because revenue growth is considered a key measure of our financial success both internally and by our stockholders and, therefore, continues to align payouts with our financial success and creation of long-term value for our stockholders. The individual performance goals for 2025 required outstanding performance by our named executive officers and encouraged accountability by rewarding achievement of goals specific to the named executive officer's, or their business group's, contributions to our business and strategic goals for 2025.

The individual performance goals for our executive officers generally related to the broader corporate goals within the following categories:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operational excellence: this category consisted of goals related to operational efficiency and improving internal systems, tools, and processes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leadership development of employees within various departments in the organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strategic initiatives and performance: this category consisted of goals related to merger and acquisition activity, strategic planning, and growth initiatives.

We have omitted detailed disclosure of the individual performance goals because disclosing this information would result in competitive harm to us. The individual performance goals were intended to be achievable with significant effort by the named executive officer.

For each executive officer, our Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the individual, set the individual business performance goals. These goals were then submitted to the compensation and talent committee. At the end of the performance period, each executive officer prepared a self-assessment of his or her level of achievement of each individual performance goal and our Chief Executive Officer then reviewed with such executive officer his or her performance and determined his or her level of achievement for each individual performance goal. Based on our Chief Executive Officer's determination of the level of achievement, he then recommended to the compensation and talent committee the level of achievement for each executive officer. After reviewing our Chief Executive Officer's assessment and recommendation, the compensation and talent committee determined and approved the achievement level and payout for each executive officer. For our Chief Executive Officer, the compensation and talent committee, in consultation with him, determined each of his individual business performance goals. After the end of the performance period, our Chief Executive Officer prepared a self-assessment of his level of achievement of each goal and submitted this self-assessment to the compensation and talent committee. After reviewing the self-assessment and making its own evaluation of our Chief Executive Officer's performance, the compensation and talent committee determined the final achievement level and payout.

Bonuses in 2025 were calculated based on actual achievement of the performance goals as a percentage multiplied by the applicable target bonus amount. For 2025, no bonus would be paid for a performance goal for achievement of less than 80% of that performance goal and the maximum amount to be paid would be 200% of the target bonus amount for 140% or higher achievement of the performance goal. The payout amount between 80% achievement (50% payout) and 140% achievement (200% payout) for each performance goal would increase linearly. The compensation and talent committee determined that any bonuses to be paid in 2025 would be paid in RSUs in order to enhance retention of our named executive officers and further align the interests of our named executive officers with our stockholders.

Based on our achievement as well as each individual's achievement of the relevant performance goals under the Bonus Plan for 2025, our compensation and talent committee determined the achievement levels and payouts in February 2026 for the bonuses for 2025, and granted RSUs in payment of the bonuses, 50% of which will vest on May 20, 2026 and the remaining RSUs will vest on August 20, 2026, subject to continued service by the individual through each

------

vesting date. The number of RSUs granted was calculated based on the average closing stock price for our common stock in the 20 trading days prior to the grant date.

The tables below present the 2025 performance goals at threshold, target, and maximum levels, and the actual 2025 performance for each of these metrics for our named executive officers:

Mr. Bonnot's role and responsibilities as our Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Business Development, are focused on our sales and revenue. Therefore, along with members of our sales team, Mr. Bonnot participates in our Sales Incentive Plan (the "Sales Incentive Plan"). Under the terms of the Sales Incentive Plan, in 2025, Mr. Bonnot was eligible for payments upon the achievement of a GAAP revenue target of $283.0 million (100% of the target opportunity). Mr. Bonnot's annual target opportunity under the Sales Incentive Plan for 2025 was $100,000 plus up to $500,000 for achievement in excess of the revenue target. Under the Sales Incentive Plan, in 2025 performance achievement and payouts were assessed and paid quarterly linear to performance. The Company's net revenues for fiscal year 2025 were $326.7 million, which exceeded the revenue targets established for the Sales Incentive Plan for 2025. Accordingly, Mr. Bonnot earned an aggregate of $113,000, and an additional $500,000 for a total of $613,000 under the Sales Incentive Plan, which reflected the Company's achievement of revenues well in excess of the target opportunity under the Sales Incentive Plan for 2025.

*Long Term Incentives*

We believe that equity compensation is essential to align our named executive officers' incentives with stockholder value creation and we emphasize equity compensation over cash compensation. Therefore, approximately 91% of the total 2025 target compensation for our named executive officers was granted or paid in the form of equity awards, the value of which is significantly impacted by both our financial and stock price performance, which aligns with stockholder interests.

The compensation and talent committee granted equity to our named executive officers in February 2025. The compensation and talent committee granted a mix of RSUs and PRSUs to our named executive officers.

------

The RSUs granted in February 2025 vest over a period of four years, with 6.25% of the RSUs that vested on February 20, 2025, and an additional 6.25% vesting quarterly thereafter, subject to continued service by the named executive officer through each vest date.

The compensation and talent committee believes that PRSUs with relative TSR performance goals align named executive officer compensation with our performance and with stockholder interests. In an effort to continue to further align our Chief Executive Officer's compensation with our performance, 65% of the equity awards approved by the compensation and talent committee in February 2025 for Mr. Vashist were PRSUs. For the other named executive officers, 50% of the equity awards approved by the compensation and talent committee in February 2025 were PRSUs.

RSUs and PRSUs serve as meaningful retention tools even in periods of volatile stock prices, which we believe is necessary to retain our named executive officers and to be competitive with compensation packages offered by comparable companies.

Our compensation and talent committee does not apply a formula in allocating equity compensation to our named executive officers as a group or to any particular named executive officer. Instead, our compensation and talent committee exercises its judgment and discretion and considers, among other things, the factors discussed above in "*Considerations in Setting Executive Compensation"* as well as the cash compensation received by the named executive officer. Our compensation and talent committee also considers each named executive officer's unvested equity compensation, as we believe the vesting of equity over time is important to the future performance and retention of our named executive officers.

In designing and approving the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSU, the compensation and talent committee considered the stockholder feedback we received in February 2024, indicating a preference for relative TSR PRSUs with a longer performance period. After a transition period in 2024, in February 2025, the compensation and talent committee granted a TSR PRSU to each named executive officer with only a three-year performance period as compared to companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ("2025 3-Year TSR PRSU"). If achieved, the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSU granted in February 2025 have a total vesting period of three years, further strengthening our long-term retention objectives and ensuring that our named executive officers remain accountable for our longer-term stock price performance. These 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs are further described below.

These grants to our named executive officers ensured that we recognized the highly competitive environment for talented personnel and that we compensate our executives competitively while we align with our stockholders' interests and embrace the principles of pay-for-performance by offering a mix of time-based and performance-based stock grants.

*Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits*

In 2025, in connection with his continued assignment to the Netherlands, we provided Mr. Vashist with $243,764 related to lease payments, of which $120,000 consisted of lease payments and $123,764 consisted of a tax gross-up amount paid on the income attributable to this value.

------

*2026 Compensation*

In 2026, we continued our practice of engaging with our top institutional and other stockholders to solicit feedback on our executive compensation program, corporate governance, and sustainability initiatives. Stockholders provided positive feedback and expressed appreciation regarding the numerous changes we made to our executive compensation program in 2025. Feedback received from stockholder engagement informs our compensation and talent committee as it reviews our executive compensation program. Other than the addition of the eligibility for an additional revenue-based bonus as further described below, we have maintained the general overall structure and principal elements of our executive compensation programs for 2026.

As part of our regular and ongoing communications with our stockholders, other ways in which we engage with them consist of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Quarterly earnings calls

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial conferences

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-deal road shows

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industry presentations and conferences

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Security analyst meetings

The compensation and talent committee did not change base salaries for our named executive officers in February 2026.

In February 2026, the compensation and talent committee granted a mix of RSUs and PRSUs, the latter of which could only be earned contingent upon achievement of relative TSR goals as compared to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ("2026 TSR PRSUs") over a three-year period. The compensation and talent committee believes that granting RSUs to our named executive officers promotes shareholder value creation as the value of the awards is directly impacted by our stock price. By linking vesting of RSUs to continuous employment requirements, granting of RSUs achieves executive retention. The RSUs vest over a total of four years as follows: 6.25% of the shares vest on a quarterly basis starting on February 20, 2026, with an additional 6.25% vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to continuous service through each vest date.

In designing and approving the 2026 TSR PRSUs, the compensation and talent committee considered stockholder feedback indicating a preference for relative TSR PRSUs with a longer performance period. After considering these discussions as well as the compensation and talent committee's efforts to continue to ensure alignment between stockholder interest and executive pay and company performance, the compensation and talent committee designed and approved the 2026 TSR PRSUs solely with a three-year performance period. A three-year performance period provides strategic alignment between executive pay and company performance, ensures that our named executive officers remain accountable for our longer-term stock performance, and incentivizes achievement of the business plan. Our named executive officers will realize the value of these awards only if the 2026 TSR PRSUs are earned and vest, which serve our retention objective similar to RSU awards.

The compensation and talent committee continued to use the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index because it represents our industry peers. The compensation and talent committee also believes that with three-year performance periods the 2026 TSR PRSUs align with long-term value creation.

In February 2026, the compensation and talent committee approved performance goals for the Bonus Plan based on our achievement of GAAP revenue goals, as well as individual goals. For 2026, the compensation and talent committee did not change the target bonus percentages or weightings from 2025, and set the weighting of the GAAP revenue growth goal at 70%, and the individual performance goals at 30%. For 2026, except for Mr. Bonnot, employees participating in the Bonus Plan are eligible for a special cash bonus for additional revenue above the maximum revenue threshold. Therefore, 70% of the target bonus opportunity for each named executive officer pursuant to the 2026 Bonus Plan depends on predetermined goals that are objective and rigorous. While excluded from the Bonus Plan, Mr. Bonnot participates in the 2026 Sales Incentive Plan approved by the compensation and talent committee in February 2026.

Our compensation and talent committee continues to believe that equity compensation is essential to align our named executive officers' incentives with stockholder value creation, and, therefore, allocated a substantial portion of total 2026 compensation for our named executive officers as equity awards, the value of which is significantly impacted by both our financial performance and stock price performance.

**Compensation Policies and Practices as they Relate to the Registrant's Risk Management** 

The compensation and talent committee has reviewed our compensation policies and practices to assess whether they encourage employees to take inappropriate risks. After conducting this review of compensation-related risk, the compensation and talent committee has concluded that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

**Other Compensation Practices**

***Stock ownership guidelines.*** We have established stock ownership guidelines in our Corporate Governance Guidelines for our executive officers and directors to better align our executive officers' and directors' interests with our stockholders' interests by promoting share ownership. The ownership guidelines are based on a multiple of annual base salary or annual cash compensation. The required ownership levels under our stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2025, are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **Ownership Requirement** |
| Chief Executive Officer | 5x Annual Base Salary |
| Other Executive Officers | 1x Annual Base Salary |
| Non-Employee Director | 5x Annual General Board Retainer |

---

For purposes of determining ownership under these guidelines, we include shares of common stock actually owned and vested RSUs. However, unvested RSUs and PRSUs are not included. We only grant RSUs and PRSUs to our executive officers, and, therefore, no stock options are included in determining ownership under these guidelines. Within four years of becoming subject to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each executive officer and Board member is expected to comply with these stock ownership guidelines. As of January 1, 2026, each of our executive officers complied with our stock ownership requirements.

To encourage long-term stock ownership, to promote a meaningful financial stake in the Company, and to link more closely the interests of our executive officers and non-employee directors with those of our stockholders, as of December 31, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer will be required to hold shares of the Company's common stock with a value equal to six times his annual base salary. All other executive officers will be required to hold shares of common stock with a value equal to two times his or her annual base salary as of December 31, 2026, and will be required to hold shares of common stock with a value equal to three times his or her annual base salary as of December 31, 2028. Non-employee directors will be required to hold shares of common stock with a value equal to six times the directors' annual base cash compensation for service on the Board as of December 31, 2026.

***Compensation Recoupment ("Clawback") Policy.***

In November 2023, we adopted an incentive compensation recoupment (clawback) policy for current and former Section 16 officers in compliance with the recently adopted Exchange Act rules and Nasdaq listing standards. This policy requires the repayment of certain cash and equity-based incentive compensation in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Under this policy, we are required to recoup certain incentive-based compensation, which includes awards under our Bonus Plan and settlement of any PRSUs erroneously received within the three fiscal years preceding the date the restatement is determined to be required, not including fiscal years prior to 2023.

***Prohibition against pledging and hedging.*** We prohibit our executive officers, directors, consultants and other insiders from pledging our stock and any type of hedging transaction involving our stock without prior written approval.

***Timing of equity awards.*** The compensation and talent committee's practice is to make annual grants to executive officers after the announcement of our prior year's earnings. Additionally, the compensation and talent committee makes equity grants to new hires four times per year, on a predetermined annual schedule. The compensation

------

administration committee, which consists of one director, Rajesh Vashist, has authority to grant equity awards for promoted employees, contractors, and in connection with the employee bonus plan on a predetermined annual schedule.

**Health, Welfare and Retirement Benefits** 

All of our current named executive officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, and vision insurance plans and 401(k) plan (as described below), in each case on the same basis as all of our other employees. We currently do not contribute to a retirement plan on behalf of employees other than our 401(k) plan, as described below.

**Nonqualified Deferred Compensation** 

None of our named executive officers participate in or have account balances in nonqualified defined contribution plans or other nonqualified deferred compensation plans maintained by us. Our Board may elect to provide our officers and other employees with nonqualified defined contribution or other nonqualified deferred compensation benefits in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.

**Pension Benefits**

None of our named executive officers participate in, or otherwise receive any benefit under, any pension or retirement plan sponsored by us during 2025.

**401(k) Plan** 

We sponsor a qualified retirement plan that is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and contains a cash or deferred feature that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code. Participants may make pre-tax and certain after-tax (Roth) salary deferral contributions to the plan from their eligible earnings up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit under the Code. Participants who are 50 years of age or older may contribute additional amounts based on the statutory limits for catch-up contributions. Participant contributions are held in trust as required by law. No minimum benefit is provided under the plan. An employee's interest in his or her salary deferral contributions is fully vested when contributed. We make discretionary matching contributions under the plan of 50% of each contribution up to $375 per paycheck, or $9,000 annually, per employee, including to our named executive officers.

(1)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PRSUs granted to the named executive officer, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For the PRSUs granted in 2025 the amount above represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the PRSUs granted to the named executive officer, computed by multiplying (i) the target number of PRSUs granted to each named executive officer by (ii) the fair value per share as calculated by the use of a Monte-Carlo simulation model. See Note 8 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The aggregate grant date fair value of PRSUs granted in fiscal year 2025 assuming the maximum level of achievement is as follows: Mr. Vashist, $15,575,706; Ms. Howe, $2,094,123; Dr. Assaderaghi, $2,884,084; Mr. Bonnot, $2,307,425; and Mr. Sevalia, $2,884,084. Excludes RSUs that were granted as annual bonuses pursuant to the Executive Bonus and Retention Plan, which values are set forth in the column titled "Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation."

(2)The amounts in this column for 2025 represent payments pursuant to the Executive Bonus and Retention Plan upon the achievement of corporate goals as well as individual objectives for 2025. Payment is in the form of RSUs, which were granted in February 2026, after the certification of achievement of corporate goals and individual goals, with the number calculated based on the average closing stock price for our common stock in the 20 trading days prior to grant. For such grants, half of the RSUs will vest on May 20, 2026, and the remaining half will vest on August 20, 2026, subject to the recipient's continuous service with the Company through each vest date. For Mr. Bonnot, the amount for 2025 also includes $613,000 earned under the Sales Incentive Plan for 2025, as described in Compensation Components — Annual Bonuses above.

(3)The amounts in this column include life insurance premiums paid by us for the benefit of the named executive officer and 401(k) matching contributions. The amount in this column for Mr. Vashist for 2025 also includes grossed-up lease payments of $243,764 in connection with his assignment to our Netherlands location (consisting of $120,000 for the lease amount and $123,764 for the associated tax gross-up), and an anniversary milestone award applicable to all eligible employees.

(4)Ms. Howe was appointed as our Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer effective November 8, 2023.

------

The total compensation included in the Summary Compensation Table above includes the aggregate grant date fair value of PRSUs granted to our named executive officers regardless of whether any PRSUs vested in 2025. There is no assurance that the grant date fair values reported in the Summary Compensation Table for these equity awards will be reflective of their actual economic value or that comparable amounts will ever be realized by our named executive officers.

**Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2025**

(1)Represents estimated possible payouts for fiscal year 2025 under the Executive Bonus and Retention Plan. Payment of bonuses under the Executive Bonus and Retention Plan is dependent upon meeting specified performance goals. A description of the performance goals associated with such bonuses is included in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis." Upon achievement, payment is made in RSUs, subject to certain vesting conditions, as described in Footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table above. In February 2026, the compensation and talent committee granted to Messrs. Vashist, Bonnot, and Sevalia, Ms. Howe and Dr. Assaderaghi 4,639, 1,801, 1,801, 1,806, and 1,801 RSUs, respectively.

(2)Represents PRSUs granted in February 2025 to all named executive officers, which consist solely of 3-Year TSR PRSUs. The number of 3-Year TSR PRSUs that our named executive officers may earn is based on our relative TSR performance compared to other companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index over a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2027. Target performance of our 3-Year TSR PRSUs is achieved when our TSR is at the 55th percentile of the TSRs of the companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. The actual amount of relative 3-Year TSR PRSUs earned can range from 0%-200% of the target amount, corresponding to the 30th to 80th percentile attainment of SiTime's TSR as compared to the companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. The 3-Year TSR PRSUs have a performance condition and a service condition, and vest, so long as the executive continues to be employed with us, after the applicable performance period if achieved, on February 20, 2028.

(3)Represents RSUs granted to our named executive officers, which are described further in the "Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2025" table below.

(4)The value shown is based on the fair value as of the date of grant and was computed for the 3-Year TSR PRSUs by multiplying (i) the target number of PRSUs granted to each named executive officer by (ii) the fair value per share as calculated by the use of a Monte-

------

Carlo simulation model. See Note 8 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(5)Represents estimated possible payouts for fiscal year 2025 under the Sales Incentive Plan for Mr. Bonnot. Payment under the Sales Incentive Plan is dependent upon meeting specified performance goals. Actual payout of $613,000 exceeded the maximum due to the weighting of quarterly revenue versus plan. A description of the performance milestones associated with such bonus is included in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

**Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control**

Below are descriptions of our employment agreements and offer letter agreements with our named executive officers. The agreements generally provide for at-will employment and set forth the executive officer's initial base salary and eligibility for employee benefits. Furthermore, each of our executive officers has executed a form of our standard proprietary information and inventions assignment agreement.

*Agreement with Rajesh Vashist* 

On October 21, 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with Rajesh Vashist, our Chief Executive Officer, which superseded and replaced Mr. Vashist's previous employment agreement. Under Mr. Vashist's agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Vashist an initial annual base salary of $425,000 and based on the assessment by our Board of Mr. Vashist's performance and the attainment of annual company goals established by our Board in its sole discretion, and subject to Mr. Vashist's employment through the payment date, an annual performance bonus of up to $300,000. In addition, under the employment agreement, as amended on June 14, 2016, Mr. Vashist agreed to provide advisory services of not more than 10 hours each month to MegaChips through June 30, 2020, regardless of his employment status with us.

On October 18, 2021, as amended on October 30, 2023, on March 19, 2025, and on March 18, 2026, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Vashist in connection with his assignment to our Netherlands office to support our international growth. The letter agreement provides for cost-of-living allowance, car lease, housing accommodation, travel expenses, and other expense reimbursement in connection with the temporary assignment. We have not provided Mr. Vashist with any allowances other than housing accommodations. For fiscal year 2025, the Company only provided Mr. Vashist with housing accommodations as described in Note 3 to the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025.

*Agreement with Elizabeth A. Howe*

On October 31, 2023, we entered into an offer letter with Elizabeth A. Howe, our Executive Vice President, Finance, and Chief Financial Officer, setting forth the initial terms of her employment. Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Howe was entitled to an initial annual base salary of $441,000, and eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to $330,000.

*Agreement with Fariborz Assaderaghi*

On November 16, 2020, we entered into an offer letter with Fariborz Assaderaghi, our Executive Vice President, Engineering and Operations, setting forth the initial terms of his employment. Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Assaderaghi was entitled to an initial annual base salary of $330,000, and eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to $165,000.

*Agreement with Lionel Bonnot* 

On January 27, 2018, we entered into an offer letter with Lionel Bonnot, our Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Business Development, setting forth the initial terms of his employment. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Bonnot was entitled to an initial annual base salary of $260,000, and eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to $100,000.

*Agreement with Piyush Sevalia*

On October 20, 2014, we entered into an offer letter with Piyush Sevalia, our Executive Vice President, Chief Business Officer, setting forth the initial terms of his employment. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Sevalia was entitled to an initial annual base salary of $300,000, and eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan.

***Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control***

We believe that reasonable severance benefits for our named executive officers are important because it may be difficult for them to find comparable employment within a short period of time and because it allows for an orderly transition on termination of employment, which is in the Company's best interest. We also believe that it is important to

------

protect our named executive officers in the event of a change of control transaction involving us, as a result of which such officers might have their employment terminated. In addition, we believe that the interests of management should be aligned with those of our stockholders as much as possible, and we believe that providing protection upon a change of control is an appropriate counter to any disincentive such officers might otherwise perceive in regard to transactions that may be in the best interest of our stockholders.

Accordingly, we have entered into change of control and severance agreements with our named executive officers. These agreements generally provide for severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment and in connection with a change of control, as described below.

*Mr. Vashist*

In the event Mr. Vashist undergoes an Involuntary Termination (as defined in this change of control and severance agreement), he will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum equal to his annual base salary, plus his target bonus as in effect on the date of his termination, (ii) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to one year following termination, and (iii) acceleration of all his unvested equity awards. If Mr. Vashist remains employed with us through the close of a change of control, Mr. Vashist will be entitled to receive acceleration of all his unvested equity awards. If he undergoes an Involuntary Termination in connection with a change of control, he will become entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus as in effect on the date of termination, (ii) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to 18 months following termination, and (iii) acceleration of all his unvested equity awards, provided that these change of control severance benefits will be offset by any non-change of control severance benefits already paid. Further, in the event of Mr. Vashist's death or disability, all of his unvested equity awards will accelerate. Mr. Vashist's severance benefits are conditioned on his timely execution of an effective release of claims.

For purposes of the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs for Mr. Vashist, notwithstanding his change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event he undergoes an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs in 2026 or 2027, and Mr. Vashist undergoes an Involuntary Termination or in the event of his death or disability in 2026 or 2027, the maximum shares subject to the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs will accelerate. In the event a change of control occurs after 2027, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2024 2-Year TSR PRSUs for Mr. Vashist, notwithstanding his change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event he undergoes an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control had occurred in 2024 or 2025, and Mr. Vashist had undergone an Involuntary Termination or in the event his death or disability had occurred in 2024 or 2025, the maximum shares subject to the 2024 2-Year TSR PRSUs would have accelerated. In the event a change of control occurs after 2025, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2024 TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs for Mr. Vashist, notwithstanding his change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event he undergoes an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs in 2026, and Mr. Vashist undergoes an Involuntary Termination or in the event of his death or disability in 2026, the maximum shares subject to the 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs will accelerate. In the event a change of control occurs after 2026, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2023 TSR PRSUs for Mr. Vashist, notwithstanding his change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event he undergoes an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2023 TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2022 PRSUs for Mr. Vashist, in the event a change of control occurs during the performance period, the performance goals for the 2022 PRSUs will be recalculated and the compensation and talent committee will then determine the number of shares subject to the 2022 PRSUs that are eligible to vest based on the per share consideration in the change of control. In the event Mr. Vashist undergoes an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control, only shares subject to the 2022 PRSUs related to a performance goal already achieved but not yet vested may accelerate pursuant to his change of control and severance agreement. In the event of a change of control during the performance period and Mr. Vashist undergoes an Involuntary Termination within the period of three months prior to 12 months following the change of control, the shares subject to the 2022 PRSUs related to a performance goal already achieved but not yet vested will accelerate and the shares eligible to vest pursuant to recalculated performance goals will accelerate. Notwithstanding his change of control and severance agreement, for purposes of the 2022 PRSU no unvested

------

shares accelerate upon (i) Mr. Vashist's death or disability, and (ii) a change of control without an Involuntary Termination.

*Other Named Executive Officers*

In the event a named executive officer (other than Mr. Vashist) undergoes an Involuntary Termination (as defined in their change of control and severance agreement), that officer will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum equal to six months of that officer's annual base salary as in effect on the date of termination; (ii) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to six months following termination; and (iii) acceleration of 12 months of unvested equity awards. If the executive officer undergoes an Involuntary Termination in connection with a change of control, that officer will become entitled to receive: (x) a lump sum equal to that officer's annual base salary, plus their target bonus as in effect on the date of termination, (y) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to one year following termination, and (z) acceleration of all unvested equity awards, provided these change of control severance benefits will be offset by any non-change of control severance benefits already paid. All severance benefits are conditioned on the officer's timely execution of an effective release of claims.

For purposes of the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs for Ms. Howe and Messrs. Bonnot and Sevalia and Dr. Assaderaghi, notwithstanding their change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event they undergo an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs in 2026 or 2027, and they undergo an Involuntary Termination within the period of three months prior to 12 months following the change of control, the maximum shares subject to the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs will accelerate. In the event a change of control occurs after 2027, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2024 2-Year TSR PRSUs for Ms. Howe and Messrs. Bonnot and Sevalia and Dr. Assaderaghi, notwithstanding their change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event they undergo an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs after 2025, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2024 TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs for Ms. Howe and Messrs. Bonnot and Sevalia and Dr. Assaderaghi, notwithstanding their change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event they undergo an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs in 2026, and they undergo an Involuntary Termination within the period of three months prior to 12 months following the change of control, the maximum shares subject to the 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs will accelerate. In the event a change of control occurs after 2026, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2023 TSR PRSUs for Messrs. Bonnot and Sevalia and Dr. Assaderaghi, notwithstanding their change of control and severance agreement, no shares will accelerate in the event they undergo an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs and they undergo an Involuntary Termination within the period of three months prior to 12 months following the change of control, the number of shares certified by the compensation and talent committee for the 2023 TSR PRSUs, minus any shares that have already vested, will accelerate.

For purposes of the 2022 PRSUs for Messrs. Bonnot and Sevalia and Dr. Assaderaghi, in the event a change of control occurs during the performance period the performance goals for the 2022 PRSU will be recalculated and the compensation and talent committee will then determine the number of shares subject to the 2022 PRSU that are eligible to vest based on the per share consideration in the change of control. In the event Messrs. Bonnot or Sevalia or Dr. Assaderaghi undergo an Involuntary Termination apart from a change of control, only shares subject to the 2022 PRSUs related to a performance goal already achieved but not yet vested may accelerate pursuant to their change of control and severance agreement. In event of a change of control during the performance period and Messrs. Bonnot or Sevalia or Dr. Assaderaghi undergoes an Involuntary Termination within the period of three months prior to 12 months following the change of control, the shares subject to the 2022 PRSUs related to a performance goal already achieved but not yet vested will accelerate and the shares eligible to vest pursuant to recalculated performance goals will accelerate.

(1)Based on base salary on December 31, 2025.

(2)Based on target bonus for 2025.

(3)The amounts reported reflect the aggregate market value of the unvested shares of our common stock underlying RSU awards, based on the closing stock price of $353.19 per share for our common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market on December 31, 2025.

(4)For purposes of the 2023 TSR PRSUs, 2024 2-Year TSR PRSUs and 2024 3-Year TSR PRSUs, and the 2025 3-Year TSR PRSUs, assumes a change of control has occurred in addition to death and disability and includes $58,497,447 as the aggregate market value of the maximum amount of shares subject to those awards.

**CEO Pay Ratio**

We determined the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than the CEO), both calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. For fiscal year 2025, the total compensation of our median employee was $169,310 and the total compensation of our CEO was $14,261,046. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than the CEO) was 84 to 1.

This pay ratio represents our reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K and applicable guidance. Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K and the applicable guidance provide significant flexibility in how companies identify the median employee and calculate pay ratio, and each company may use a different methodology and make different assumptions, exclusions, or reasonable estimates particular to that company. Therefore, our pay ratio disclosure may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies, including companies within our industry.

As permitted by SEC rules, we used the same median employee for our 2025 pay ratio calculation as we used for our 2024 calculations included in our proxy statement for that year. We believe it is reasonable to use the same

------

median employee for purposes of the pay ratio calculation because there was no change in our employee population or in our employee compensation arrangement that would reasonably result in a significant change to our pay ratio calculation.

**PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE**<sup>3</sup> 

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and our financial performance.

5. Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between our share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by our share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

6. Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies' stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: Philadelphia Semiconductor Index.

7. The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in our audited financial statements for the applicable year.

8. While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for our compensation programs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, we have determined that revenue growth is the financial performance measure that, in our assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) linking compensation actually paid to company performance. The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the amount of revenue reflected in our audited financial statements for the applicable year.

*Financial Performance Measures*

As described in greater detail in "Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The compensation and talent committee determines financial performance measures for our Bonus Plan and equity incentive awards to incentivize our named executive officers to align payouts with our financial success and creation of long-term value for our stockholders. For the most recently completed fiscal year, the most important financial performance measures used by us to link executive compensation actually paid to our named executive officers to our performance are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue growth; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our total stockholder return as compared to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (Relative TSR).

*Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table*

As described in more detail in the section "Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with our performance, all of those measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, we generally seek to incentivize long-term performance and, therefore, do not specifically align our performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between the information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

*Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR*

The chart below shows the relationship between the compensation actually paid to Mr. Vashist and the average compensation actually paid to our named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Vashist) to our cumulative TSR over the five fiscal years presented in the table.

**Non-Employee Director Compensation** 

We have adopted an independent director compensation policy, pursuant to which our non-employee directors will be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation for service on our Board and committees of our Board. We have reimbursed and will continue to reimburse all our non-employee directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board and committees of our Board.

For 2025, we did not make any changes to the cash compensation portion of our independent director compensation policy. In 2025, our independent director compensation policy provided that non-employee directors receive a $40,000 annual retainer, with an additional $20,000 annual retainer for the lead independent director, as well as the following additional retainers for committee services:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Committee** | **Chair** | **Member** |
| Audit Committee | $20000 | $8000 |
| Compensation and Talent Committee | 20000 | 8000 |
| Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee | 20000 | 8000 |

---

Effective as of March 27, 2025, we revised our independent director compensation policy to provide that each non-employee director who joins our Board will receive a one-time initial equity grant in the form of RSUs on the date of his or her election to the Board equal to $300,000, based on the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days ending on the day prior to the grant date ("Market Price"). One third of such RSUs will vest annually on the February 20, May 20, August 20, or November 20 falling in the anniversary quarter of the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director's continuous service with us on each applicable vesting date.

In addition, effective as of March 27, 2025, each non-employee director who receives the one-time initial equity grant described above will also be eligible to receive a prorated annual grant of RSUs ("Prorated Annual RSU Award") on the first business day following the next regular annual meeting of stockholders with respect to a number of shares of common stock equal to $250,000 divided by the Market Price, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between commencement of service as a non-employee director and the date of the next following annual meeting, and the denominator of which is 365. The Prorated Annual RSU Award shall become fully vested on the

------

February 20, May 20, August 20, or November 20 falling in the one-year anniversary quarter of the next following annual meeting.

For our non-employee directors who continue to serve on our Board after the annual meeting of stockholders, our independent director compensation policy provides that such directors will receive annual equity compensation in the form of RSUs on the first business day following each of our regular annual stockholder meetings with a grant date value of $250,000, based on the Market Price. Such RSUs will vest (i) on the February 20, May 20, August 20, or November 20 falling in the one year anniversary quarter of the annual stockholder meeting or (ii) if the next year's annual stockholder meeting date occurs prior to such vesting date and a director's service will not continue following the annual meeting of stockholders, then on the day prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, in each case subject to the non-employee director's continuous service with us on the applicable vesting date.

In conjunction with the January 2025 review of the type and form of compensation paid to our non-employee directors in connection with their service on the Board and its committees, in March 2025, the nominating and corporate governance committee recommended, and the Board unanimously approved, a one-time equity grant to Christine Heckart with a grant date value of $175,149 that vested in full as of May 2025. The nominating and corporate governance committee evaluated Ms. Heckart's total compensation since joining the Board and decided to make this grant to address a compensation gap that occurred under the independent director compensation policy as it operated prior to its amendment in March 2025. Ms. Heckart joined the Board in April 2021 and received an initial RSU award with a grant date value of $250,000. Prior to the March 2025 amendment to the independent director compensation policy, only directors who had served on the Board for at least six months as of the first business day following the conclusion of the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders were eligible to receive an annual RSU award. As such, Ms. Heckart did not receive an annual RSU award until after the conclusion of the June 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. This grant aligns Ms. Heckart's compensation with the independent director compensation policy, as amended, and puts Ms. Heckart in parity with the other members of the Board.

In the event of a change in control (as defined in our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan), any unvested RSUs issued pursuant to our independent director compensation policy fully vest, subject to the non-employee director's continuous service with us on the effective date of the change in control.

Our independent director compensation policy provides that the foregoing cash compensation and equity compensation (based on the grant date fair value of the equity compensation) of non-employee directors together cannot exceed in the aggregate $600,000 per calendar year (or $850,000 per calendar year for the first calendar year that a non-employee director serves on the Board).

***2025 Director Compensation***

The following table sets forth the compensation paid or accrued to or for our non-employee directors in 2025:

__________________________________________________

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The valuation of stock awards is calculated using the aggregate grant date fair value, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See Note 8 to our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for the assumptions used in such valuation. With the exception of Mr. Moorthy, who joined in October 2025, and Ms. Heckart (as described in Footnote 2 below), all of our non-employee directors received only one equity grant in 2025 with a grant date fair value of $257,974.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)In addition to the grant described in Footnote 1 above, in 2025, Ms. Heckart received a one-time equity grant with a grant date fair value of $175,149, which vested in full in May 2025. For a further discussion of such grant, please see the narrative under "Non-Employee Director Compensation" that precedes this table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)In connection with joining our Board in October 2025, Mr. Moorthy received a one-time initial equity grant with a grant date fair value of $287,923 and a one-time initial prorated equity award with a grant date fair value of $148,578.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Mr. Yiu resigned from the Board in October 2025.

The following table provides information regarding the aggregate number of unvested shares subject to outstanding equity awards, all of which were RSUs, held by non-employee directors as of December 31, 2025.

Directors who are also our employees receive no additional compensation for their service as directors. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Mr. Vashist was our only employee director. See the section titled "Executive Compensation" for additional information about Mr. Vashist's compensation.

***2026 Director Compensation***

The nominating and corporate governance committee, which is composed solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility for reviewing and considering any revisions to our independent director compensation policy. In January 2026, the nominating and corporate governance committee undertook a review of the type and form of compensation paid to our non-employee directors in connection with their service on the Board and its committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee considered the results of an independent analysis completed by Pearl Meyer. As part of this analysis, Pearl Meyer reviewed non-employee director compensation trends and data from companies comprising the same compensation peer group used by the compensation and talent committee in connection with its review of executive compensation. Following this compensation review process and in light of our desire to retain our Board members, attract potential new directors, and provide competitive consideration for the directors' services, in February 2026, the Board, upon recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee, approved the following changes to our independent director compensation policy beginning in 2026: (i) increase the annual retainer for each independent director to $60,000 per year; (ii) increase the annual retainer for the lead independent director to $25,000 per year; (iii) increase the annual retainer for the audit committee chair, the compensation and talent committee chair, and the nominating and corporate governance committee chair to $25,000 per year; (iv) increase the annual retainer for the audit committee members, the compensation and talent committee members, and the nominating and corporate governance committee members, in each case other than the chairperson, to $10,000 per year; (v) increase the annual award to a non-employee director to $285,000 per year; and (vi) increase the prorated annual RSU award to a new non-employee director to $285,000 per year. The increase in the annual retainer fees for each independent director, the lead independent director, and the chair of the audit committee marked the first such increase since the Board was formalized at the time of the IPO in 2019. Cash retainers for members of the compensation and talent committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee were last increased in 2023.

In the event of a change in control (as defined in our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan), any unvested shares subject to RSUs issued pursuant to our independent director compensation policy will fully vest, subject to the non-employee director's continuous service with us on the effective date of the change in control.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS**

**Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons** 

We have adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration, and oversight of "related person transactions." For purposes of our policy only, a "related person transaction" is a transaction, arrangement, or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we or any of our subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000, in which any "related person" has a material interest. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, consultant, or director are not considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director, or a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities (including our common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, and including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, an officer with knowledge of the proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to our audit committee (or, where review by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, we rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors, and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee considers the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risks, costs, and benefits to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director, or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

Our audit committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in our best interests.

**Certain Related Party Transactions** 

The following includes a summary of transactions since January 1, 2025, to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change of control, and other arrangements, which are described under "Executive Compensation" and "Non-Employee Director Compensation."

In November 2014, we were acquired by MegaChips, and as a result of the acquisition, became a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaChips. On November 25, 2019, we completed the initial public offering of shares of our common stock. As of March 30, 2026, MegaChips owned approximately 13% of our outstanding common stock. On March 15, 2019, we entered into an integration and purchase agreement with MegaChips (the "Integration and Purchase Agreement"), whereby we agreed to supply MegaChips with certain resonators for use in certain of MegaChips' products, along with a license to use certain circuits with these resonators. Under the Integration and Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify MegaChips for any infringement of intellectual property, and MegaChips has agreed to indemnify us for any infringement of intellectual property based on MegaChips' manufacturing process, product design, specification and/or instruction, or use of our resonators or circuits in combination with other products. Pricing under this agreement varies depending on the specification and minimum order quantity as set forth in any given purchase order. In addition, pricing may be adjusted depending on whether certain volume thresholds are exceeded. Minimum annual purchase requirements under this agreement may be triggered in the event we determine we are likely to win a business transaction based on a third-party supplier's product. From March 15, 2019 (the date of execution of the agreement) through December 31, 2025, we recognized revenue of approximately $0.1 million from MegaChips under this agreement. We believe that the general commercial terms of this agreement, including with respect to pricing and purchase commitments, are generally consistent with comparable terms under our purchase orders or similar arrangements with other customers, and are generally no less

------

favorable to us than those that could be obtained in similar types of transactions with unrelated third parties. The initial term of the Integration and Purchase Agreement continued until March 15, 2025, and automatically renewed for an additional term. The agreement is subject to automatic renewals unless terminated by either party with 90 days' written notice.

**Indemnification Agreements**

We have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or executive officers or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder's investment may decline in value to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If a stockholder wishes to present a proposal to be included in our proxy statement for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, the proponent and the proposal must comply with the proxy proposal submission rules of the SEC. One of the requirements is that the proposal be received by the Corporate Secretary no later than December 16, 2026. However, if the 2027 annual meeting is called for a date that is before April 29, 2027, or after June 28, 2027, notice by the stockholder must be received by SiTime's Corporate Secretary at a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. Proposals we receive not in compliance with this requirement will not be included in the proxy statement. We urge stockholders to submit proposals by certified mail return receipt requested.

A stockholder proposal not included in our proxy statement for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders will be ineligible for presentation at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders unless the stockholder gives timely notice of the proposal in writing to the Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of SiTime Corporation in accordance with our Bylaws. Under our Bylaws, in order for a matter to be deemed properly presented by a stockholder, timely notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, us not more than 120 days nor less than 90 days prior to the first anniversary date of the this proxy statement; provided, however, that if the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders is before April 29, 2027 or after June 28, 2027, we must receive the stockholder's notice not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the 2027 annual meeting and the 10th day after the day on which we first make public announcement of the date of the 2027 annual meeting.

In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 30, 2027; provided, however, that, in the event that the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders is held before April 29, 2027 or after June 28, 2027, for your notice to be timely, it must be so received by the Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the date the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us.

Stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the SiTime's nominees must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act.

The stockholder's notice must set forth, as to each proposed matter, the following: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (b) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (c) the class and number of shares of our securities that are beneficially owned by the stockholder; (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; and (e) any other information that is required to be provided by such stockholder pursuant to proxy proposal submission rules of the SEC. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge any matter not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure. You are advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

**STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS**

To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials to stockholders who may have more than one account holding our stock but who share the same address, we have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called "householding." Under this procedure, certain stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our proxy materials until such time as one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they want to receive separate copies. This procedure reduces duplicate mailings and saves printing costs and postage fees, as well as natural resources. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

If you receive a single set of proxy materials as a result of householding, and you would like to have separate copies of our annual report or proxy statement mailed to you, please submit a request to our Corporate Secretary at 5451 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, or call our Investor Relations department at (408) 328-4400, and we will promptly send you what you have requested. You can also contact our Investor Relations department at the telephone number above if you received multiple copies of the Annual Meeting materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, or if you would like to opt out of householding for future mailings.

**OTHER MATTERS**

Our Board does not know of any other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy holders will vote on it as they think best unless you direct them otherwise in your proxy instructions.

While the Annual Meeting will be held in virtual meeting format only this year, and while we believe that the virtual meeting format will expand stockholder access and participation and improve communications, we have not decided if we will use a virtual meeting only format for future meetings. We appreciate your continued support, and we hope that you and yours will stay safe and healthy.

Whether or not you intend to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to please promptly vote via the Internet or by telephone, or if you receive a paper proxy card, please promptly submit your proxy by dating, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope, to ensure that your votes are counted.
