Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: Synopsys is a large-cap company with a market capitalization of $72.41 billion. This grant is immaterial in that context.
• Dilution Impact: The potential dilution from these 3,238 shares is negligible, representing only 0.0017% of the total shares outstanding. This is a routine level of equity compensation that does not materially impact existing shareholders.
• Transaction Significance: The transaction is a standard compensatory grant with no cash value at the time of the award. It is considered low significance due to its small size relative to the company's market cap and shares outstanding.

Additional Context
