These are the only questions that we will address, and there will not be a general question-and-answer session.

The Board recommends a vote for this proposal. The fifth item of business is to consider, if properly presented at this meeting, a stockholder proposal related to the separation of the office of Chairman of the Board and the Office of Chief Executive Officer. The Board recommends a vote against this proposal.
David Segre
AttendeesThank you, Jen. As noted, the fifth item of business is to consider if properly presented at this meeting, a stockholder proposal related to the separation of the office of Chairman of the Board and the Office of Chief Executive Officer. This proposal has been submitted by Mr. John Chevedden, a stockholder of Power Integrations. If Mr. Chevedden or his representative is present and wishes to present his proposal here as representative, may do so at this time. . Mr. Chevedden, you may now proceed with your proposal. You have 3 minutes.
John Chevedden
ShareholdersHello. This is John Chevedden, Proposal 5, Independent Board Chairman. [indiscernible] requested the Board of Directors opted an enduring policy and amend the governing documents. In order that 2 separate people hold the office of the Chairman and the office of the CEO as soon as possible. The Chairman of the Board shall be an Independent Director, a Lead Director shall not be a substitute for an independent Board Chairman. The Board shall discretion and select the Interim Chairman of the Board, who is not the Independent Director to serve while the Board is required to seek an independent Chairman of the Board on an accelerated basis. An independent Board Chairman at all times improves corporate governance by bringing in partiality, objective oversight and external expertise to Board decisions, mitigating conflicts of interest, enhancing transparency and boosting shareholder confidence. This detached perspective allows the Chairman to focus on shareholder interest, strengthen management accountability and provide critical checks and balances ultimately contributing to long-term sustainability and profitability. Now it could be a good time for a change since Power Integrations stock was at $110 in 2021 and at only $84 now in spite of a robust stock market. This proposal received 45% support at the 2025 Power Integrations Annual Meeting without any special efforts as the proponent. This 45% support represented more than 50% support from the shares that have access to independent proxy voting advice. Please vote for an independent Board Chairman, Proposal 5. Also, it's unfortunate that street name shareholders cannot submit questions to this Annual Shareholder Meeting.
Unknown Attendee
