Synaptics Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Registration Statement to register an additional 2,059,425 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), for issuance under the Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan was amended by the Registrant’s Board of Directors on July 27, 2021 to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 2,000,000 shares, and such amendment was approved by the Registrant’s stockholders on October 26, 2021. In substitution of outstanding awards under the DSP Group, Inc.
