Code of Conduct Summary

SUMMARY OF CODE OF CONDUCT CHANGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITEM
406(B) OF REGULATION S-K

 

Effective April 27, 2021, Synaptics Incorporated (“Synaptics”) revised our Code of Conduct (the “Code”). We updated the Code to make it more user-friendly and align it with our policies, practices, and values. The Code applies to all Synaptics directors, officers, and employees. The revisions to the Code relating to elements of the “Code of Ethics” definition in Item 406(b) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K are: (i) we added references to key company policies that provide more detail on certain provisions of the Code; (ii) we added detail regarding antitrust compliance, political influence and payments to government officials, conflicts of interest, record-keeping, use of company assets, external communications, and reporting of violations; (iii) we added sections on international trade compliance, privacy, dealing with suppliers, and the use of social media; and (iv) we made other revisions that align the Code with current Synaptics policies, practices, and values.

The Code is available in the “Corporate Governance” section of the “Investor Relations” page of Synaptics’ investor relations website at https://investor.synaptics.com/corporate-governance. Synaptics’ “Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers” is unchanged and available at the same website address.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This website contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements may include words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "target," "strategy," "continue," "may," "will," "should," variations of such words, or other words and terms of similar meaning. All forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment and are based on several factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the risks as identified in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recent fiscal year, and other risks as identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we do not have, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly release any updates or any changes in our expectations, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of this filing.
