 to the merger as disclosed in the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Certain Cadence Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 91 . The proposal gives holders of Cadence common stock the opportunity to express their views on the merger-related compensation of Cadence’s named executive officers.

The advisory vote on the Cadence compensation proposal is a vote separate and apart from the votes on the Cadence merger proposal and the Cadence adjournment proposal. Accordingly, if you are a holder of Cadence common stock, you may vote to approve the Cadence merger proposal and/or the Cadence adjournment proposal and vote not to approve the Cadence compensation proposal, and vice versa. The approval of the Cadence compensation proposal by holders of Cadence common stock is not a condition to the completion of the merger.

If, at the Cadence special meeting, the number of shares of Cadence common stock present or represented and voting in favor of the Cadence merger proposal is insufficient to approve the Cadence merger proposal, Cadence intends to move to adjourn the Cadence special meeting in order to enable the Cadence board of directors to solicit additional proxies for approval of the Cadence merger proposal. In that event, Cadence will ask holders of Cadence common stock to vote upon the Cadence adjournment proposal, but not the Cadence merger proposal or the Cadence compensation proposal.

In this proposal, Cadence is asking holders of Cadence common stock to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Cadence board of directors, on a discretionary basis, to vote in favor of adjourning the Cadence special meeting to another time and place for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies, including the solic
