Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 8, 2005, the Compensation Committee of ON Semiconductor Corporation (“Corporation”), determined and approved for payment a $25,000 discretionary cash incentive bonus (“Executive Bonuses”) to each of certain executive officers of the Corporation for their performances during 2004. Executive Bonuses were approved for: Keith Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer; Donald Colvin, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; William Bradford, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing; and Peter Green, Senior Vice President, Integrated Power Group. In addition to these executive officers, discretionary cash incentive bonuses were also approved for payment to other employees of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries for their performances during 2004. These bonuses were targeted at the top 20% of the individual performers at ON Semiconductor and were determined based on the individuals’ contributions and performances at ON Semiconductor during 2004. The bonuses were not awarded under the Corporation’s 2002 Executive Incentive Plan or 2002 Employee Incentive Plan.

 

The Corporation will provide additional information regarding the compensation of the members of its Board and executive officers in its proxy statement for the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, which is expected to be filed with the SEC in April 2005.
