Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 1, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

On October 1, 2026, onsemi (ON) and Synaptics Incorporated (SYNA) entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, amending the June 25, 2026 agreement for onsemi to acquire Synaptics.

The revised deal sets the merger consideration at $123a per share in cash, for an aggregate value of approximately $5.7 billion, compared with approximately $7 billion under the prior agreement. The filing states the transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to onsemi's non-GAAP earnings per share upon closing. The amendment followed an unsolicited competing proposal from a third party, referred to as "Party A" in onsemi's Form S-4 filed August 21, 2026.

Both boards unanimously approved the amended agreement. The revised structure removes several closing conditions, including the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Nasdaq listing approval of onsemi shares, the absence of a continuing material adverse effect on onsemi, and closing tax opinions. The merger will no longer be structured as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, and onsemi intends to withdraw the Registration Statement.

Financing is provided by a commitment letter with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. for up to $2.45 billionb of senior secured term loans, and receipt of financing is not a condition to closing. Synaptics stockholders retain appraisal rights under Delaware law, and the deal remains subject to a Synaptics stockholder vote. The press release states the transaction is still expected to close by mid-2027, subject to Synaptics stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

It notes that the FTC has approved the transaction and regulators in other jurisdictions are reviewing it. The company also cites identified incremental value opportunities beyond the previously announced $200 millionc of annual run-rate synergies, which are expected to be realized after the initial 18 months post-close.
