to time, the &#x201c;Merger Agreement&#x201d;), by and among onsemi, Sonic Acquisition Corp.
and Synaptics Incorporated (&#x201c;Synaptics&#x201d;).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The

Common Stock issuable or expected to be issued, converted or exchanged
(including in respect of Synaptics&#x2019; equity awards (including Company

&#x201c;Maximum Aggregate Offering Price&#x201d; is estimated solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act
(as defined in this registration statement) and calculated in accordance with
Rules 457(c), 457(f)(1) and 457(f)(3) under the Securities Act, based on $4,522,160,743.85,
the market value of the estimated maximum number of shares of Synaptics Common
