Commitments and Contingencies

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement (the “Capacity Reservation Agreement”) with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“GlobalFoundries”) to provide the Company a wafer capacity commitment and wafer pricing for Company products for calendar years 2022-2026 (the “Commitment Period”).

The Capacity Reservation Agreement requires GlobalFoundries to provide, and the Company to purchase, a defined number of wafers on a quarterly basis for the Commitment Period, subject to shortfall payments. In exchange for GlobalFoundries’ capacity commitment, the Company agreed to pay a $50 million non-refundable capacity reservation fee. This reservation fee is recorded in "Other assets" on the consolidated condensed balance sheets within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate, and amortized over the Commitment Period. In addition, the Company agreed to pre-pay GlobalFoundries $175 million for future wafer purchases, which will be credited back to the Company as a portion of the price of wafers purchased beginning in the third quarter of calendar year 2023. This prepayment is currently recorded in "Long-term prepaid wafers" on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company currently estimates that it is obligated to purchase at least approximately $1.6 billion of wafers from GlobalFoundries under the Capacity Reservation Agreement

In addition, the Capacity Reservation Agreement provides the Company an option to reserve a specified portion of the capacity commitment for wafers that include certain additional technology beginning in calendar year 2023. The Company exercised that option in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, and GlobalFoundries agreed to provide up to a maximum portion of the wafers pursuant to the capacity commitment with this additional technology. In exchange for the capacity commitment with the additional technology, the Company agreed to pay an additional $10 million non-refundable fee and pre-pay an additional $20 million for future wafer purchases. These payments are recorded similarly to the description above.
