Re: Notice of Analog Devices, Inc. Equity Award Conversion

Exhibit 10.9

To:

From: Analog Devices, Inc. Date:    AUGUST 26

Re:    Notice of Analog Devices, Inc. Equity Award Conversion

Effective AUGUST 26 , Analog Devices, Inc. (“Analog”) will acquire Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim”) (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Analog and Maxim entered into a Merger Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), which sets forth the method by which outstanding, unvested restricted stock units over Maxim shares (“Maxim RSUs”), restricted shares of Maxim stock (“Maxim RSAs”) and performance-based market stock units over Maxim shares (“Maxim MSUs”) (collectively “Maxim Awards”) would be adjusted to reflect the impact of the Merger on Maxim stock and converted into restricted stock units over Analog shares (“Analog RSUs”) (in the case of Maxim RSUs and MSUs) or restricted shares of Analog stock (“Analog RSAs”) (in the case of Maxim RSAs). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Maxim Awards you held before the Merger have been adjusted and converted into time-based Analog RSUs and RSAs (collectively, “Analog Awards”), as applicable, as further described below.

Your newly converted Analog Awards remain subject to the same award terms and conditions applicable to the Maxim Awards to which such Analog awards relate, prior to the Merger (“Award Terms”), except that, unless the context otherwise requires, the following Award Terms will now have the following meanings:

•All references to “Maxim” or “Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.” in your Award Terms are now references to Analog Devices, Inc.

•All references to the “Board” or the “Committee” in your Award Terms are now, respectively, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Analog.

•All references to “Common Stock” or “Shares” in your Award Terms are now references to shares of common stock of Analog Devices, Inc.

The Maxim Award conversion adjustments are based on a fixed share exchange ratio of 0.63 per share in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Analog Awards resulting from the adjustment/conversion will continue to vest on the same schedule provided under the original Maxim Awards (subject to your continued employment within the Analog company group). The number of Analog shares underlying your Analog Awards was determined by multiplying the applicable share exchange ratio by the number of shares underlying your Maxim Awards immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, with any resulting fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share. These adjustment and conversion mechanisms are intended to preserve the intrinsic value of your converted Maxim Awards that existed immediately prior to the Merger.

No Action Required

The conversion of your Maxim Awards has taken place automatically as a result of the Merger, and no action is required by you. If you have any questions, please contact ▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

Vesting.

In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained prior to any date(s) on which the RSUs are scheduled to vest, the vesting of your RSUs will be deferred until after SAFE Approval is obtained (and you will receive a vesting credit to the extent any scheduled vesting date occurs before SAFE approval is obtained). The deferred vesting will take place as soon as reasonably practicable after SAFE Approval is obtained. If you terminate employment with the Analog company group before SAFE approval is obtained, your RSUs may be forfeited.
