Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 6, 2019, Impinj, Inc. (“Impinj”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against NXP USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of NXP Semiconductors N.V. (“NXP”), in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Impinj’s complaint (Case No. 5:19-CV-03161) alleges that certain NXP integrated circuit products infringed and continue to infringe numerous U.S. patents owned by Impinj. Impinj is seeking, among other things, past damages, including lost profits, and no less than a reasonable royalty; enhanced damages for willful infringement; and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for infringement of each of the asserted patents. Impinj is also seeking an injunction against NXP making, selling, using, offering for sale or importing the RAIN RFID integrated circuit product NXP introduced in 2017.

A copy of a CEO letter posted to Impinj’s website is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
