Following the Merger, Analog will be required to de-register Linear’s equity plans with the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) and re-register Analog’s equity plan for participation by Linear employees. Under applicable Chinese regulations, Analog is required to suspend vesting of your RSUs while the process of de-registering Linear’s equity plans and re-registering Analog’s equity plan is underway. You acknowledge that your RSUs will not vest and no shares will be issued to you unless and until all necessary exchange control or other approvals with respect to the RSUs have been obtained from the SAFE or its local counterpart (“SAFE Approval”). In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained prior to any date(s) on which the RSUs are scheduled to vest, the vesting of your RSUs will be deferred until after SAFE Approval is obtained. The deferred vesting will take place as soon as reasonably practicable after SAFE Approval is obtained.
