It calls the vote a critical step in completing the transaction with onsemi. The company told employees their vote counts regardless of how many shares they own. Many hold stock through E\*TRADE, and the e-mail said they should already have received voting instructions from E\*TRADE, or from their broker if they moved the shares. Staff may also get phone calls from MacKenzie Partners, the proxy solicitor Synaptics hired to chase votes. The company described that as appropriate outreach and said employees can vote by phone. ## Three proposals on the ballot Shareholders will decide the merger agreement itself, an advisory proposal on compensation tied to the deal, and a proposal to adjourn the meeting. Details are in the definitive proxy statement, which Synaptics filed with the SEC on October 19, 2026, and which the e-mail urged employees to read. ## The business and the backdrop Synaptics sells Astra processors, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, touch controllers, fingerprint sensors and display connectivity to makers of phones, PCs, cars and smart-home and industrial devices.
