Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On June 16, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) approved interim base salary increases, cash bonus opportunity targets and equity awards for certain executive officers of the Company, including Simon Keeton, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Power Solutions Group and Vince Hopkin, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Advanced Solutions Group, to better align compensation for those executives with market levels.

With respect to each of Mr. Keeton and Mr. Hopkin, the Committee approved (i) an increase in his annual base salary from $450,000 to $500,000, effective as of July 1, 2021, and (ii) an increase in his target annual cash bonus performance incentive opportunity from 75% to 85%. In addition, on July 1, 2021, Mr. Keeton and Mr. Hopkin will receive a grant of (a) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) having an aggregate value on the grant date of $60,000 (with respect to Mr. Keeton) and $40,000 (with respect to Mr. Hopkin), in each case, with annual vesting in one-third increments on each anniversary of the grant date and subject to continued service with the Company, and (b) performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs” and, together with the RSUs, the “Equity Awards”) having an aggregate value on the grant date of $90,000 (with respect to Mr. Keeton) and $60,000 (with respect to Mr. Hopkin), in each case, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable performance criteria set forth in the award agreement and continued service with the Company.

The number of RSUs and PBRSUs under the Equity Awards will be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 1, 2021. The other terms and conditions of the Equity Awards are consistent with those set forth in the Company’s forms of RSU award agreement and PBRSU award agreement filed as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2021, except that the PBRSUs granted to Mr. Keeton and Mr. Hopkin by the Committee on June 16, 2021 do not include any “Upside Unit” components thereunder.
