Talking Points and Guidelines

Below are talking points for customer outreach. It is important that you do not suggest or imply to customers that Skyworks and Qorvo are acting as one company. Until the closing of the transaction, Skyworks and Qorvo remain separate and independent companies and will each operate in "business as usual" mode.

These are high-level talking points and are not intended as a verbatim script. Please feel free to customize these talking points for each relevant customer, although you must stick to these specifics.

·

I am calling to let you know that Skyworks announced an agreement to combine with Qorvo to create a U.S.-based leader in high-performance RF, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductors.

·

We are very excited about this and wanted to provide some context for the transaction.

·

Most importantly, we believe the combination of our products and technologies will bring significant benefits to customers like you.

·

Skyworks and Qorvo have great complementary capabilities. Combining our world-class engineering teams and product offerings will accelerate innovation and enable us to provide customers with more highly integrated, complete solutions.

o

The increased scale in R&D will allow us to better and more quickly develop and deliver cutting-edge products as RF complexity increases.

o

And the combination across fabs, packaging, and outsourcing partners will allow us to be a more flexible and scalable partner to you as we strengthen our production capacity.

·

Although the companies both produce RFFE components for mobile and Wi-Fi connectivity, we do not see any antitrust issues with the transaction for the following reasons: (i) the combination will create a stronger company to compete better against the largest players in the space; and (ii) the additional R&D scale will allow us to accelerate innovation for customers. The transaction also enhances customer choice by delivering broader, more efficient solutions in applications where complexity is only increasing.

·

We greatly appreciate your continued support and look forward to continue serving you through the successful completion of this transaction.

·

Your interests are very much at the core of our operations and business decisions.

·

Of course, until the transaction closes, which we anticipate happening in early calendar year 2027, Skyworks and Qorvo will remain separate and independent. For the time being, it remains business as usual and nothing changes about the way we work together with you. Thanks again for your time.

During your discussions, please keep in mind the following communications "Do's" and "Don'ts":

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on Skyworks' and Qorvo's current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, their respective businesses and industries, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by Skyworks and Qorvo, all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "could," "seek," "see," "will," "may," "would," "might," "potentially," "estimate," "continue," "expect," "target," similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining shareholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies, expansion and growth of Skyworks' and Qorvo's businesses and other conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction; (ii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including as a result of delay in completing the transaction or integrating the businesses of Skyworks and Qorvo; (iii) Skyworks' and Qorvo's ability to implement their business strategies; (iv) pricing trends; (v) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against Skyworks, Qorvo or their respective directors; (vi) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm Skyworks' or Qorvo's business, including current plans and operations; (vii) the ability of Skyworks or Qorvo to retain and hire key personnel; (viii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement, pendency or completion of the proposed transaction; (ix) uncertainty as to the long-term value of Skyworks' common stock; (x) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting Skyworks' and Qorvo's businesses; (xi) general economic and market developments and conditions; (xii) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which Skyworks and Qorvo operate; (xiii) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect Skyworks' or Qorvo's financial performance; (xiv) restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact Skyworks' or Qorvo's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xv) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as Skyworks' and Qorvo's response to any of the aforementioned factors; and (xvi) failure to receive the approval of the stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the proxy statement/prospectus will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Skyworks' or Qorvo's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Neither Skyworks nor Qorvo assumes any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
