ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to SEC Rule 13a-15 and based upon the updated framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 28, 2024 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 28, 2024 were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements for all periods involved fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
99
Table of Contents
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“the COSO Framework). The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to its management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2024. This report is included with this Form 10-K.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal controls over financial reporting are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, and the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Based on the Company’s assessment, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of December 28, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the identification of the material weaknesses described below. In making this assessment, management has concluded that we did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, at certain of our non-U.S. manufacturing locations we lacked sufficiently skilled operational and accounting personnel to ensure that internal control responsibilities were performed and aligned with internal control objectives.
The material weakness in the control environment contributed to an additional material weakness related to the design and operating effectiveness of control activities over the existence of inventory at these locations. The Company did not maintain effective controls related to inventory cycle counts to validate existence of inventory, and consequently, the completeness and accuracy of the data used in evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation of inventory and related reserves. These material weaknesses resulted in corrections through cumulative out-of-period adjustments as described in notes to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 28, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as otherwise described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
Our management team is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. The Company, with oversight from our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is taking comprehensive actions to remediate the material weaknesses. The Company has developed and is in the process of implementing its remediation plan, which will include the following steps:
Control environment
• recruiting of personnel with appropriate internal controls, and accounting knowledge and experience commensurate with our accounting and reporting requirements;
• enhanced supervision of personnel at certain locations to ensure compliance with established Company policies; and
100
Table of Contents
• evaluating and updating (as appropriate) the sufficiency of policies and training provided to personnel to ensure the appropriate segregation of duties and adherence to the Code of Conduct.
Control activities
• augmentation of training and clear instruction as to the process for recording of adjustments to inventories;
• full physical inventory observations, facilitated by independent counters, until the cycle count and related inventory existence controls at certain of our non-U.S. manufacturing locations are operating effectively;
• implementation of a management review control over inventory movements;
• examination and enhancement of the procedures to evaluate the completeness and accuracy of data and assumptions utilized in computing inventory reserves.
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses as soon as possible; however, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the appropriate controls are operating effectively.

Long-Term Incentive Plan that was approved by our stockholders at the April 2017 annual stockholder meeting, as amended by an amendment approved by our stockholders at the April 2023 annual stockholders meeting, and the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors that was approved by our stockholders at the May 2005 annual stockholder meeting.
Pursuant to our acquisition of IXYS on January 17, 2018, we assumed four equity compensation plans that have not been approved by our stockholders and pursuant to which we may continue to grant equity awards: IXYS Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, IXYS Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, IXYS Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, IXYS Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (together, the "IXYS Plans"). We also assumed two expired equity compensation plans that have not been approved by our stockholders and pursuant to which we no longer have outstanding equity awards: the Zilog, Inc. 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and Zilog, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (together, the "Zilog Plans"). The IXYS Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan expired in June 2019; the IXYS Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan expired
102
Table of Contents
in June 2021; the IXYS Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan expired in June 2023; and equity awards remain outstanding under those plans.
Information about our equity compensation plans that were either approved or not approved by our stockholders as of December 28, 2024, is as follows:
Plan Category Number of securities to
be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants, and rights
(1) Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in the first column)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders 743,652 (2) $164.51 884,247 (4)
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders 84,414 (3) $43.47 114,134 (5)
Total 828,066 $152.17 998,381
(1) The weighted average exercise price does not take into account the shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, which have no exercise price.
(2) Includes 142,749 shares reserved for issuance upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and 600,903 outstanding stock options granted under the Littelfuse, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan.
(3) Includes 55,505 shares reserved for issuance upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units under the IXYS Plans and 28,909 outstanding stock options granted under the IXYS Plans and Zilog Plan. Below is a brief description of the material features of the compensation plans acquired pursuant to the acquisition of IXYS.
(4) Includes 840,046 shares that remain available for future issuance under the Littelfuse, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan and 44,201 shares that remain available for future issuance under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.
(5) Includes 114,134 shares that remain available for future issuance under the IXYS Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
IXYS Plans
In connection with the acquisition of IXYS, we assumed the IXYS Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, IXYS Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, IXYS Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, IXYS Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and outstanding unvested stock options originally granted by IXYS Corporation under the IXYS Plans that were held by continuing employees. At the time of the acquisition of IXYS Corporation, these awards were converted to Littelfuse stock options, with adjustments made to the exercise price of the stock options and the number of shares subject to stock options as agreed upon in the Acquisition Agreement. These unvested options vest in accordance with their original terms, generally vesting in equal annual installments over a four-year period from the original grant date. The options, once granted, generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Under the IXYS Plans, we may grant to former employees of IXYS Corporation or its subsidiaries restricted stock awards, RSUs, stock options and stock appreciation rights with an exercise price that is no less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Equity awards granted under the IXYS Plans following the acquisition have been on similar terms and consistent with grants made pursuant to the Littelfuse, Inc Long-Term Incentive Plan. The IXYS Corporation 2009, 2011, 2013 Equity Incentive Plans expired in June 2019, June 2021 and June 2023, respectively, with no additional grants made after the expiration date. As of December 28, 2024, 114,134 shares remained available for issuance under the IXYS Plans.
Zilog Plans
In connection with the acquisition of IXYS Corporation, we assumed the Zilog, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and outstanding stock options originally granted by IXYS Corporation under the Zilog Plan that were held by continuing employees of Zilog. At the time of the acquisition of IXYS Corporation, these awards were converted to Littelfuse stock options, with adjustments made to the exercise price of the stock options and the number of shares subject to stock options as agreed upon in the Acquisition Agreement. These options vested in accordance with their original terms, generally in equal annual installments over a four-year period from the original grant date. The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. The Zilog 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan expired in February 2014 and no additional grants have been made thereunder. Therefore,
103

as of December 28, 2024, no shares remain available for issuance of new awards under the Zilog Plan and no stock options remain outstanding.
