We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount value of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. Impairment For assets to be held and used, we group a long-lived asset or assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Estimates of future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived asset group include only the future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. A potential impairment charge is first assessed evaluated when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived for from an asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses, if applicable, are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. We continually apply our best judgment value. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired the asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which we operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of our impairment tests. As we continue to implement our business strategy to rationalize products and manufacturing locations to transition to a lighter internal fabrication model, there could be divestiture transactions that result in a portion of goodwill or other assets being de-recognized and result in accounting charges.

In addition, implementation of a business strategy may lead to the disruption of our existing business operations. For example, in light of our goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, we may take actions to pursue our goal of generating net-zero emissions that may result in material expenditures that could impact our financial condition or results of operations and/or could disrupt our existing operations. Similarly, the contingent risks associated with transferring our existing operations to an acquirer, as is the case with several transition services being provided in connection with some of our prior divestitures, could materially impact our financial condition or results of operations and/or could disrupt our existing operations, especially if the acquirer is unable to meet its commitments under any transition services agreements or if the acquirer encounters financial difficulty. Furthermore, any adjustments we make to our increased investment manufacturing capacity, whether in manufacturing capacity (including increased response to customer demand or based on business strategy (such as increasing investment in capacity for SiC-based new products and technology), while concurrently technology or divesting other non-strategic operations, operations), may adversely impact our existing operations, operations or our customer relationships, require additional management time and effort to implement successfully, and and, in the case of capacity expansion, lead to higher than anticipated capital expenditures. There are inherent execution risks in expanding or right-sizing production capacity, whether at one of our own factories or at a third-party factory that we utilize, all of which could increase our costs and negatively impact our operating results.

On January 3, 2024, a purported stockholder derivative action captioned Silva v. El-Khoury, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-00007 (D. Del.) ("Silva"), Del.), was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. On February 12, 2024, a purported stockholder derivative action captioned Smalley et al. v. El-Khoury et al. Case No. 1:24-cv-00183 (D. Del.) ("Smalley"), Del.), was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Both aforementioned derivative actions, Silva and Smalley, were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on April 15, 2024. On February 28, 2024, a purported stockholder derivative action captioned Mumme et al. v. El-Khoury et al. Case No. CV2024-003974 (D. AZ.) ("Mumme"), AZ.), was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa and on Maricopa. On March 15, 2024, a purported stockholder derivative action captioned Chan et al. v. Abe et al. Case No. 2:24-cv-00552 (D. AZ.) ("Chan"), AZ.), was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. On June 16, 2025, a purported stockholder derivative action captioned Balsam-Respler et al. v. El-Khoury et al. Case No. 2:25-cv-001672 (D. AZ.), was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. On September 23, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona consolidated the Balsam-Respler and Chan derivative complaints into a consolidated action entitled In re ON Semiconductor Corporation Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Case No. CV-24-00552 (D.AZ.). The allegations in these derivative complaints are substantially similar to the allegations in the securities class action complaint discussed above. The derivative suits purport to assert claims (1) on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers for contribution under the federal securities laws and (2) against all of the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste. The plaintiffs seek an award of damages, pre-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and other costs and expenses related to the litigation. The Company believes that the plaintiffs lack standing to assert claims on the Company’s behalf. These two pending derivative actions, Mumme and Chan, were stayed by court order, pending the resolution of Hubacek.
