Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 16, 2016, Synaptics Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a new indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). The form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Indemnification Agreement supplements indemnification provisions already contained in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and generally provides that the Company will indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted or required by Delaware law, subject to certain exceptions, against expenses, judgments, fines and other amounts incurred in connection with their service as a director or officer. The Indemnification Agreement also provides for rights to advancement of expenses and contribution. The obligations of the Company under the Indemnification Agreement continue after each Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.32 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
