Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 5, 2013, the Board of Directors of Ambarella, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Bonus Plan covering executive officers Feng-Ming Wang, George Laplante, Les Kohn, Didier LeGall and Christopher Day. The target bonus for Dr. Wang is 50% of his annual base salary. The target bonus for Messrs. Laplante, Kohn, LeGall and Day is 30% of their respective annual base salaries. Payouts, if any, are to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors under the terms of the plan. In making its determination, the Compensation Committee will consider the Company’s performance against revenue and profitability metrics established by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee also will consider each executive officer’s performance against management objectives. The performance weighting is 60% for the revenue metric, 30% for the profitability metric and 10% for the management objective metrics. On target performance is intended to result in a payout at target levels. Above target performance is intended to result in payment above target levels, with a maximum payout equal to 150% of the annual targeted payout. Any annual bonus plan payouts will be made no later than 2 and one-half months following the end of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year.
