Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 1, 2021, Synaptics Incorporated (the “Company”) provided an irrevocable notice of redemption for all $525,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), which mature on June 15, 2022 (the “Redemption”). The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2017, between the Company and Wells Fargo, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Notes are redeemable at a cash redemption price of 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date of August 4, 2021 (the “Redemption Price”). On June 1, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the Redemption. A copy of the notice of redemption and press release are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Holders of the Notes have the right to convert the Notes called for redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., EDT, on August 3, 2021 (the “Conversion Deadline”). The current Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) is equal to 13.7267 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is the initial Conversion Rate of 13.6947 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes plus a number of Additional Shares (as defined in the Indenture) equal to 0.0320 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes calculated in accordance with 14.03(c) of the Indenture. The Company has elected to settle any conversions by Combination Settlement (as defined in the Indenture) with a Specified Dollar Amount (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes equal to $1,000, plus a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) to be determined pursuant to the Indenture, together with additional cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional shares of Common Stock. As a result of this election, the Company expects to repay the principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion in cash and settle any additional amounts in Common Stock, with cash to be delivered in lieu of fractional shares. Requests for conversion delivered after the Conversion Deadline will only be entitled to receive the Redemption Price for the Notes. The Company currently expects to use cash on hand to fund the cash component of the Redemption and any conversions.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in the accompanying Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Corporate Trust Services to ensure payments are reported accurately to holders and to the IRS. In order to permit accurate withholding (or to prevent withholding), a complete and valid tax certification form must be received by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Corporate Trust Services before payment of the redemption proceeds is made to holders. Failure to timely provide a valid tax certification form as required will result in the maximum amount of U.S. withholding tax being deducted from any redemption payment that is made to the Holder.

Holders of Securities should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of converting their Securities.
