Item 8.01              Other Events

 

On April 6, 2015, Mohan Maheswaran, President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Semtech Corporation (the “Company”),  entered into a written pre-arranged stock trading plan in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the sale of a maximum of 58,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The plan provides for the exercise of options up to 48,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and sales of specified numbers of the shares underlying such options on specified dates beginning in June 2015 and ending in November 2015.  Shares acquired through the exercise of such options will be sold under the plan on the open market at prevailing prices on the applicable trading days specified under the plan, subject to a minimum price threshold as specified in the plan.  Mr. Maheswaran’s trading plan covers the exercise of options that would otherwise expire in March 2016.

 

The plan also provides for the sale of an additional 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Mr. Maheswaran.  The plan provides for sales of specified numbers of such shares on specific dates beginning in December 2015 and ending in March 2016.

 

The plan is consistent with, and will follow, a similar plan entered into by Mr. Maheswaran in January 2014, which expired following the final trade under that plan in March 2015.

 

Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 trading plans established by any other Company employees, officers or directors, nor to report modifications, terminations, or other activities under any publicly announced trading plan.
