#### TRANSACTION PROPOSED-YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo (each as defined below):

On behalf of the board of directors of each of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. ("Skyworks") and Qorvo, Inc. ("Qorvo"), we are pleased to enclose the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed combination of Skyworks and Qorvo. We are requesting that you take certain actions as a holder of Skyworks Common Stock and/or Qorvo Common Stock (each as defined below), as more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Each of the boards of directors of Skyworks and Qorvo has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2025 (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Skyworks, Comet Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub I"), a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks, Comet Acquisition II, LLC ("Merger Sub II"), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks, and Qorvo. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, which are more fully described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus, Skyworks and Qorvo will combine through (a) the merger of Merger Sub I with and into Qorvo (the "First Merger"), with Qorvo continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks (the "Surviving Corporation"), and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Merger Sub II (the "Second Merger," and together with the First Merger, the "Mergers"), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity in the Second Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

If the Mergers are consummated, Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive (a) 0.960 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of Skyworks Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share ("Skyworks Common Stock"), without interest, and (b) $32.50 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Amount"), subject to applicable withholding taxes, for each share of Qorvo Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Qorvo Common Stock"), that they hold immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the "Effective Time" and the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), together, the "Merger Consideration"). No fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and Qorvo stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock as more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the Merger Agreement. The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to the Effective Time. Skyworks stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of Skyworks Common Stock, the form of which will not be changed by the transaction.

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, it is anticipated that former Qorvo stockholders will own approximately 37% of the then outstanding Skyworks Common Stock and Skyworks stockholders will own the remaining 63%, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The value of the Merger Consideration to be received in exchange for each share of Qorvo Common Stock will fluctuate with the market value of Skyworks Common Stock until the Mergers are consummated. Based on Skyworks' closing stock price on October 27, 2025, the implied value of the Merger Consideration was $105.31, which represents a premium of approximately 15.14% over the 30-trading-day volume weighted average trading price per share of Qorvo Common Stock on October 27, 2025, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the parties' execution of the Merger Agreement. Based on Skyworks' closing stock price on December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the implied value of the Merger Consideration was $96.22. The common stock of each of Skyworks and Qorvo is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "SWKS" and "QRVO," respectively. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for Skyworks Common Stock and Qorvo Common Stock.

Each of Skyworks and Qorvo will hold a special meeting of its stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transactions").

#### QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGERS AND THE SPECIAL MEETINGS
The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance. Skyworks and Qorvo urge you to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and the other documents referred to or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, because the information in this section does not provide all of the information that might be important to you.

#### About the Merger Agreement and the Mergers

#### Q:

#### What is the Merger Agreement and what are the Mergers?
A:

On October 27, 2025, Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II entered into the Merger Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto will consummate the Mergers. In the First Merger, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks. Immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the Surviving Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

#### Q:

#### What will Qorvo stockholders receive in the Mergers?
A:

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the First Merger, Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive (a) 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest, and (b) $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes, for each share of Qorvo Common Stock that they own. No fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock to which they otherwise would be entitled as more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the Merger Agreement. The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to the Effective Time.

 *For a description of the treatment of Qorvo equity awards in connection with the Mergers, see "The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Qorvo Equity Awards."* 

#### Q:
 **What happens if the market price of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock changes before the Effective Time and what is the value of the Merger Consideration?** 

A:

Changes in the market price of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock at or prior to the Effective Time will not change the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock that Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive because the Exchange Ratio is fixed at 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock. The value of the Merger Consideration to be received in exchange for each share of Qorvo Common Stock will fluctuate with the market value of Skyworks Common Stock until the Mergers are consummated.

Based on Skyworks' closing stock price on October 27, 2025, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the parties' execution of the Merger Agreement, the implied value of the Merger Consideration was $105.31 per share, representing a 15.14% premium to Qorvo's 30-trading-day volume weighted average trading price per share on October 27, 2025.

Based on Skyworks' closing stock price on December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the implied value of the Merger Consideration was $96.22.

#### Are there any conditions to consummation of the Mergers?
A:

Yes. Consummation of the Mergers is conditioned on Skyworks stockholders approving the Stock Issuance Proposal, Qorvo stockholders approving the Merger Agreement Proposal, the receipt of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

required regulatory approvals and a number of other customary closing conditions that must be satisfied or waived before the Mergers can be consummated. For a description of all of the conditions to the Mergers, see "*The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Mergers*."

#### For Skyworks Stockholders

#### Q:

#### When and where is the Skyworks Special Meeting?
A:

The Skyworks Special Meeting will be held at 11:30 AM, Pacific Time, on February 11, 2026 (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date), via live audio webcast at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SWKS2026SM*. The Skyworks Special Meeting will be held exclusively online via live audio webcast.

#### Q:

#### What matters will be voted on at the Skyworks Special Meeting?
A:

Skyworks stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Stock Issuance Proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

#### Q:

#### Who is entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting?
A:

The Skyworks record date is December 23, 2025 (the "Skyworks Record Date"). Only holders of record of Skyworks Common Stock as of the close of business on the Skyworks Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Skyworks Special Meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Skyworks Special Meeting. Each Skyworks stockholder entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting is entitled to one (1) vote per share at the Skyworks Special Meeting. As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were 149,930,237 issued and outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and the issued and outstanding Skyworks Common Stock was held by approximately 7,156 stockholders of record.

#### Q:

#### How does the Skyworks Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?
A:

After careful consideration, on October 27, 2025, the Skyworks Board unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of, Skyworks and its stockholders, (b) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (c) subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend that Skyworks' stockholders approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, and (d) directed that the Skyworks Stock Issuance be submitted to Skyworks' stockholders for approval at the Skyworks Special Meeting. The Skyworks Board unanimously recommends that Skyworks stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal. For a summary of the factors considered by the Skyworks Board in reaching its decision to approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance, see "*The Mergers — Skyworks' Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Skyworks Board of Directors*."

#### Q:

#### What will happen to my shares of Skyworks Common Stock?
 *A:* 

 *You will continue to own the same shares of Skyworks Common Stock that you owned prior to the effective time of the Mergers. As a result of the Skyworks Stock Issuance, however, the overall ownership percentage of the current Skyworks stockholders in the Combined Company will be diluted. See "Risk Factors — Risk Factors Relating to the Combined Company after Consummation of the Mergers — Skyworks stockholders and Qorvo stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Mergers and will exercise less influence over the policies of the Combined Company than they now have on the policies of Skyworks and Qorvo, respectively."* 

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers, it is anticipated that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • continuing Skyworks stockholders will own approximately 63% of the then outstanding Skyworks Common Stock, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • former Qorvo stockholders will own approximately 37% of the then outstanding Skyworks Common Stock, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Q:

#### Do the Skyworks directors and executive officers have any interests in the Mergers?
A:

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, Skyworks' directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, those of the stockholders of Skyworks generally. The Skyworks Board was aware of these potential interests and considered them, among other things, in reaching its decision to approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance. Such potential interests are described in more detail in "*The Mergers — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*."

#### Q:

#### What constitutes a quorum at the Skyworks Special Meeting?
A:

The Skyworks Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock of Skyworks entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Skyworks Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Shares present virtually during the Skyworks Special Meeting will be considered shares of Skyworks Common Stock represented in person at the meeting. Shares present at the Skyworks Special Meeting but abstaining from voting on any proposal will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Since the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal are each non-routine proposals, there will not be any "broker non-votes" at the Skyworks Special Meeting. If a quorum is initially present, the Skyworks stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

#### Q:

#### What vote is required for Skyworks stockholders to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal?
A:

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Only holders of record of Skyworks Common Stock at the close of business on the Skyworks Record Date will be entitled to vote on the Stock Issuance Proposal. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting but abstaining from voting on the Stock Issuance Proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Stock Issuance Proposal.

#### Q:

#### What vote is required for Skyworks stockholders to approve the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal?
A:

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present at the Skyworks Special Meeting, then the affirmative vote of the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal have the power to adjourn. Under this standard, assuming a quorum is not present, then shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal. The vote on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal is separate and apart from the vote to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal and is not a condition to the consummation of the Mergers.

#### Q:

#### Is my vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting important and how are votes counted at the Skyworks Special Meeting?
A:

Yes, your vote is very important. If you do not submit a proxy or attend the Skyworks Special Meeting in person, it will be more difficult for us to obtain the necessary quorum to hold the Skyworks Special Meeting.

For the Stock Issuance Proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**" or "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Stock Issuance Proposal, assuming a quorum is present, attending the meeting in person or submitting a proxy, but in either case abstaining from voting, will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Stock Issuance Proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the outcome of the Stock Issuance Proposal.

For the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**" or "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, whether or not a quorum is present, attending the meeting in person or submitting a proxy, but in either case abstaining from voting, will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

Properly executed proxy cards with no instructions indicated on the proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

#### Q:

#### What happens if I sell my Skyworks Common Stock before the Skyworks Special Meeting?
A:

The Skyworks Record Date is earlier than the date of the Skyworks Special Meeting. If you sell your shares of Skyworks Common Stock after the Skyworks Record Date but before the date of the Skyworks Special Meeting, you will retain any right to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

A:

No. If your shares are held in street name and your voting instruction form indicates that you may vote those shares through the *proxyvote.com* website, then you may access, participate in and vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting with the sixteen (16)-digit control number indicated on that voting instruction form.

#### Q:

#### Who is entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

The record date for the Qorvo Special Meeting is December 23, 2025 (the "Qorvo Record Date"). Only holders of record of Qorvo Common Stock as of the close of business on the Qorvo Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Qorvo Special Meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Qorvo Special Meeting. At the Qorvo Special Meeting, each Qorvo stockholder entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting is entitled to one (1) vote per share of Qorvo Common Stock held by such stockholder. As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were 92,653,400 issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock, and the issued and outstanding Qorvo Common Stock was held by approximately 591 stockholders of record.

#### Q:

#### How does the Qorvo Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?
A:

The Qorvo Board, at a meeting duly called and held on October 27, 2025, duly and unanimously adopted resolutions: (a) approving the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (b) determining that the terms of the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of Qorvo and its stockholders, (c) recommending that the holders of Qorvo Common Stock adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Transactions and directing that the Merger Agreement be submitted for adoption by Qorvo's stockholders at the Qorvo Special Meeting, and (d) declaring that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are advisable. The Qorvo Board unanimously recommends that Qorvo stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, "**FOR**" the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and "**FOR**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. For a summary of the factors considered by the Qorvo Board in reaching its decision to approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, see "*The Mergers — Qorvo's Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Qorvo Board of Directors*."

#### Q:

#### Why are Qorvo stockholders being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal?
A:

Under SEC rules, Qorvo is required to seek a non-binding advisory vote with respect to the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Qorvo's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Mergers.

#### Q:

#### What happens if Qorvo stockholders do not approve the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal?
A:

Because the vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding upon Qorvo or Skyworks. Accordingly, the merger-related compensation will be paid to Qorvo's named executive officers to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of their compensation agreements and other contractual arrangements even if Qorvo stockholders do not approve the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal. The vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Qorvo Special Meeting and is not a condition to the consummation of the Mergers.

#### Q:

#### How do I vote if I own Qorvo Common Stock through the Qorvo 401(k) Savings Plan?
A:

If shares of Qorvo Common Stock are credited to your account in the Qorvo 401(k) Savings Plan, you will receive a voting instruction form from the trustee of that plan. Your instructions submitted by mail, over the telephone or by internet serve as voting instructions for the trustee of the plans, Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC. If your instructions are not received by the trustee by 8:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on February 10, 2026, the trustee will vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock for each item on the enclosed proxy card in the same proportion as the shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are voted for that item pursuant to the voting instructions received by the trustee from the other participants in the respective plan. While employee plan participants may instruct the trustee how to vote the shares of Qorvo Common Stock credited to them in the Qorvo 401(k) Savings Plan, employee plan participants cannot vote such shares of Qorvo Common Stock during the Qorvo Special Meeting.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Q:

#### Do the Qorvo directors and executive officers have any interests in the Mergers?
A:

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, Qorvo's directors and executive officers may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, those of the stockholders of Qorvo generally. The Qorvo Board was aware of these potential interests and considered them, among other things, in reaching its decision to approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers. Such potential interests are described in more detail in "*The Mergers — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*."

#### Q:

#### What constitutes a quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

The Qorvo bylaws provide that a quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting is the presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of Qorvo Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares present virtually during the Qorvo Special Meeting will be considered shares of Qorvo Common Stock represented in person at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares present at the Qorvo Special Meeting but abstaining from voting on any proposal will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Qorvo Special Meeting. If a quorum is initially present, the Qorvo stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

#### Q:

#### What vote is required for Qorvo stockholders to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal?
A:

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Only holders of record of Qorvo Common Stock at the close of business on the Qorvo Record Date will be entitled to vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal. Abstention from voting on the Merger Agreement Proposal, or failing to vote, will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Merger Agreement Proposal.

#### Q:

#### What vote is required for Qorvo stockholders to approve the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal?
A:

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting (meaning the number of votes cast "**FOR**" this proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "**AGAINST**"). Only holders of record of Qorvo Common Stock at the close of business on the Qorvo Record Date will be entitled to vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal. The vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Qorvo Special Meeting and is not a condition to the consummation of the Mergers.

#### Q:

#### What vote is required for Qorvo stockholders to approve the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal?
A:

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present at the Qorvo Special Meeting, then the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present or represented by proxy, have the power to adjourn. Under this standard, assuming a quorum is not present, then shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name"

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. The vote on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal is separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Qorvo Special Meeting and is not a condition to the consummation of the Mergers.

#### Q:

#### Is my vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting important and how are votes counted at the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

Yes, your vote is very important. If you do not submit a proxy or vote in person at the Qorvo Special Meeting, it will be more difficult for us to obtain the necessary quorum to hold the Qorvo Special Meeting.

For the Merger Agreement Proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**" or "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Merger Agreement Proposal, abstention from voting, the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, or any other failure of a Qorvo stockholder to vote, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Merger Agreement Proposal.

For the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**" or "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting, the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, or any other failure of a Qorvo stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.

For the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**" or "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, whether or not a quorum is present, shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

Properly executed proxy cards with no instructions indicated on the proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

#### Q:

#### What happens if I sell my Qorvo Common Stock before the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

The record date for the Qorvo Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Qorvo Special Meeting and the date that the Mergers are expected to be consummated. If you sell your Qorvo Common Stock after the Qorvo Record Date but before the date of the Qorvo Special Meeting, you will retain any right to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but you will have transferred your right to receive the Merger Consideration. For Qorvo stockholders, in order to receive the Merger Consideration, you must hold your Qorvo Common Stock through consummation of the First Merger.

#### Q:

#### How do I submit a proxy or vote my shares at the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

If you hold shares of Qorvo Common Stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card using the postage-paid envelope provided or mailing it to Vote Processing c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. 51 Mercedes Way Edgewood, NY 11717. Your proxy card must be received no later than the close of business on February 10, 2026 in order for your vote to be counted at the Qorvo Special Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card, but do not mark the boxes showing how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

#### Q:
 **If my shares of Qorvo Common Stock are held in "street name" by my bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, will my bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder vote my shares of Qorvo Common Stock for me at the Qorvo Special Meeting?** 

A:

If your shares of Qorvo Common Stock are held in "street name" in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, you must provide the record holder of your shares of Qorvo Common Stock with instructions on how to vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder. Please note that you may not vote shares of Qorvo Common Stock held in street name by returning a proxy card or voting instruction form directly to Qorvo. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction form for you to use.

Applicable stock exchange rules permit brokers to vote their customers' stock held in street name on routine matters when the brokers have not received voting instructions from their customers. Those rules do not, however, allow brokers to vote their customers' stock held in street name on non-routine matters unless they have received voting instructions from their customers. In such cases, the uninstructed shares for which the broker is unable to vote are called broker non-votes. All proposals to be voted on at the Qorvo Special Meeting are non-routine matters on which brokers are not allowed to vote unless they have received voting instructions from their customers, and, accordingly, there will be no broker non-votes at the Qorvo Special Meeting.

If you are a Qorvo "street name" stockholder and you do not instruct your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder on how to vote your shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder may not vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock on the Merger Agreement Proposal, which will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Merger Agreement Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder may not vote your shares on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, which will have no effect on the vote for the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal (assuming a quorum is present); and

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder may not vote your shares on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, which will have no effect on the vote for the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal (whether or not a quorum is present).

#### How can I revoke or change my vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

You may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the Qorvo Special Meeting by taking one of the following actions: (a) giving written notice of revocation to Qorvo's Corporate Secretary, which must be received before the time that the proxy you wish to revoke is voted at the Qorvo Special Meeting; (b) submitting new voting instructions over the telephone or the internet prior to 8:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on February 10, 2026; (c) delivering a new, validly completed, later-dated proxy card, which must be received no later than the close of business on February 10, 2026; or (d) joining the Qorvo Special Meeting virtually and voting during the Qorvo Special Meeting. For this purpose, communications to the Corporate Secretary of Qorvo should be addressed to Qorvo, Inc., 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, North Carolina 27409. For shares of Qorvo Common Stock you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder giving you the right to vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock, by joining the Qorvo Special Meeting virtually via the internet and voting during the Qorvo Special Meeting. Employee plan participants may change their voting instructions by submitting new voting instructions to Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC prior to 8:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on February 10, 2026.

#### Q:

#### Will a proxy solicitor be used by Qorvo in connection with the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

Yes. Qorvo has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Qorvo Special Meeting, and Qorvo has agreed to pay them an estimated fee of up to $112,500, plus their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

#### Q:

#### Am I entitled to exercise appraisal rights in respect of my shares of Qorvo Common Stock?
A:

Yes. Qorvo stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the First Merger. To exercise such appraisal right, you must make a proper demand for appraisal of your shares of Qorvo Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and otherwise comply with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. If this appraisal right is properly exercised, and assuming you do not fail to perfect, validly withdraw or otherwise lose your appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to your shares of Qorvo Common Stock, your shares of Qorvo Common Stock will not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and you shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares. If any Dissenting Shares lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, effective as of the later of the Effective Time and the date of loss of such status, such shares will be deemed automatically to have been converted into, and shall represent only, the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement, without interest thereon. For additional information, see "*The Mergers — Appraisal Rights in the Mergers*."

#### Q:

#### What else do I need to do now prior to the Qorvo Special Meeting?
A:

You are urged to read this joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety, including its annexes and the information incorporated by reference herein, and to consider how the Mergers affect you. Even if you plan to attend the Qorvo Special Meeting, please vote promptly.

#### For Both Skyworks Stockholders and Qorvo Stockholders

#### Q:

#### When are the Mergers expected to be consummated?
A:

Skyworks and Qorvo expect to consummate the Mergers early in calendar year 2027, although Skyworks and Qorvo cannot assure consummation by any particular date, if at all. Because the Mergers

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

are subject to a number of conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal by the Skyworks stockholders and the approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal by the Qorvo stockholders, and other customary closing conditions, the exact timing of the Mergers cannot be determined at this time and Skyworks and Qorvo cannot guarantee that the Mergers will be consummated at all. For a description of the conditions to the Mergers, see "*The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Mergers*."

#### Q:

#### Following the Mergers, what percentage of Skyworks Common Stock will the continuing Skyworks stockholders and former Qorvo stockholders own?
A:

Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • continuing Skyworks stockholders will own approximately 63% of the then outstanding Skyworks Common Stock, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • former Qorvo stockholders will own approximately 37% of the then outstanding Skyworks Common Stock, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Q:

#### What happens if the Mergers are not consummated?
A:

If the Stock Issuance Proposal is not approved by the Skyworks stockholders, if the Merger Agreement Proposal is not approved by the Qorvo stockholders, or if the Mergers are not consummated for any other reason, Qorvo stockholders will not have their shares of Qorvo Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Instead, each of Skyworks and Qorvo would remain separate companies. Under certain circumstances, Skyworks may be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee or Qorvo may be required to pay Skyworks a termination fee, or a party to the Merger Agreement may be required to reimburse the other party's costs and expenses, in each case, as described under "*The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Other Fees*."

#### Q:

#### Are there any risks associated with the Mergers that I should consider in deciding how to vote?
A:

Yes. A number of risks related to the Mergers are discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and described in "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [38](#tRFF).

#### Q:

#### What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Qorvo Common Stock?
A:

Skyworks and Qorvo intend for the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Skyworks and Qorvo intend to report the Mergers consistent with such qualification. Assuming the Mergers so qualify, a U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock that receives shares of Skyworks Common Stock and cash in exchange for shares of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the First Merger generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Skyworks Common Stock received by such U.S. Holder in the First Merger exceeds such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder's Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor and (b) the amount of cash received by such U.S. Holder (in each case, excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock, which is addressed in "*The Mergers — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers — Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares*"). However, it is not a condition to Skyworks' obligation or Qorvo's obligation to consummate the Transactions that the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" or that Qorvo or Skyworks receive an opinion from their respective counsel to that effect, and it is possible that the Mergers, taken together, may not so qualify.

Skyworks and Qorvo have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding any matters relating to the Transactions and, as a result, there can be no assurance

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service would not assert that the Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, or that a court would not sustain such a position. However, in connection with the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, each of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, legal counsel to Qorvo, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, legal counsel to Skyworks, has delivered a legal opinion to the effect that the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a court were to determine that the Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock that exchanges such shares of Qorvo Common Stock for Skyworks Common Stock and cash pursuant to the First Merger generally would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Skyworks Common Stock received by such U.S. Holder and (b) such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor.

Holders of Qorvo Common Stock should consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the Mergers to them. For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers, see "*The Mergers — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers*."

#### Q:

#### How can I obtain additional information about Skyworks and Qorvo?
A:

Skyworks and Qorvo each file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information with the SEC. Each company's respective filings with the SEC may be accessed on the internet at *www.sec.gov*. Copies of the documents filed by Skyworks with the SEC will be available free of charge on Skyworks' website at *https://investors.skyworksinc.com*.

#### The Skyworks Special Meeting

#### Meeting
The Skyworks Special Meeting will be held virtually at 11:30 AM, Pacific Time, on February 11, 2026 (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date), via live audio webcast at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SWKS2026SM*, for the following purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.

to consider and vote on the Stock Issuance Proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.

to consider and vote on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

#### Skyworks Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Skyworks Record Date is December 23, 2025. Only holders of record of Skyworks Common Stock as of the close of business on the Skyworks Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Skyworks Special Meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Skyworks Special Meeting. Each Skyworks stockholder entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting is entitled to one (1) vote per share at the Skyworks Special Meeting. As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were 149,930,237 issued and outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and the issued and outstanding Skyworks Common Stock was held by approximately 7,156 stockholders of record. As of December 15, 2025, less than 1% of the issued and outstanding Skyworks Common Stock was owned and entitled to be voted by Skyworks directors and executive officers and their affiliates.

#### Quorum
The Skyworks Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock of Skyworks entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Skyworks Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Shares present virtually during the Skyworks Special Meeting will be considered shares of Skyworks Common Stock represented in person at the meeting. Shares that abstain from voting on any proposal will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Since the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal are each non-routine proposals, there will not be any "broker non-votes" at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Failure of a quorum at the Skyworks Special Meeting may result in an adjournment of the Skyworks Special Meeting and may subject Skyworks to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires the vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Skyworks cannot consummate the Skyworks Stock Issuance or the Mergers unless the Stock Issuance Proposal is approved at the Skyworks Special Meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof). As a result, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the Stock Issuance Proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Stock Issuance Proposal. The failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, or any other failure of a Skyworks stockholder to vote (assuming a quorum is present), will have no effect on the outcome of the Stock Issuance Proposal because these failures to vote are not considered present at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

to vote thereon. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present at the Skyworks Special Meeting, then the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal have the power to adjourn. Under this standard, assuming a quorum is not present, then shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers
As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Skyworks' directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate 324,821 shares of Skyworks Common Stock entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting, which represents less than 1% of the shares of Skyworks Common Stock entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

Each of Skyworks' directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his or her shares of Skyworks Common Stock "**FOR**" the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, although none of Skyworks' directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

#### Qorvo Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Qorvo Record Date is December 23, 2025. Only holders of record of Qorvo Common Stock as of the close of business on the Qorvo Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Qorvo Special Meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Qorvo Special Meeting. Each Qorvo stockholder entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting is entitled to one (1) vote per share at the Qorvo Special Meeting. As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were 92,653,400 issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock, and the issued and outstanding Qorvo Common Stock was held by approximately 591 stockholders of record.

#### Quorum
The Qorvo bylaws provide that the holders of a majority in voting power of Qorvo Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

constitute a quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares present virtually during the Qorvo Special Meeting will be considered shares of Qorvo Common Stock represented in person at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares that are present at the Qorvo Special Meeting but that abstain from voting on any proposal will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares of Qorvo Common Stock held in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, and otherwise fails to cause to be voted or represented at the Qorvo Special Meeting, will not be deemed present at the Qorvo Special Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Failure of a quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting may result in an adjournment of the Qorvo Special Meeting and may subject Qorvo to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal is required to consummate the Transactions. As a result, abstention from voting on the Merger Agreement Proposal, the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, or any other failure of a Qorvo stockholder to cause his, her or its shares to be voted in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Merger Agreement Proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting (meaning the number of votes cast "**FOR**" this proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "**AGAINST**"). As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting and the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present at the Qorvo Special Meeting, then the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present or represented by proxy, have the power to adjourn. Under this standard, assuming a quorum is not present, then shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers
As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Qorvo's directors (excluding Peter A. Feld) and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate 822,841 shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting, which represents less than 1% of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Qorvo's director Peter A. Feld and his affiliates (including Starboard Value LP ("SBV")) beneficially owned in the aggregate 7,514,022 shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Special Meeting, which represents approximately 8% of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting.

Each of Qorvo's directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his or her shares of Qorvo Common Stock "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, although none of Qorvo's directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so. Certain stockholders affiliated with SBV, an affiliate of Peter Feld, a member of the Qorvo Board so designated by SBV, have agreed to vote their shares of Qorvo Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal. As of December 15, 2025, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, such stockholders collectively held approximately 8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock.

#### The Mergers; Merger Consideration; Treatment of Stock-Based Awards

#### The Mergers
On October 27, 2025, Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II entered into the Merger Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto will consummate the Mergers. At the Effective Time, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks. Immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the Surviving Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

#### Merger Consideration
At the Effective Time, each share of Qorvo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held (a) directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or (c) directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest, and (ii) $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

No fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive cash, without interest, in lieu of any fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock to which they would otherwise be entitled, as more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the Merger Agreement. The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to the Effective Time. Skyworks stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of Skyworks Common Stock, the form of which will not be changed by the Mergers.

Skyworks Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "SWKS," and Qorvo Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under symbol "QRVO." The following table shows certain closing stock prices of Skyworks Common Stock and Qorvo Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq, and the implied value of the Merger Consideration to be issued in exchange for each share of Qorvo Common Stock, which was calculated by multiplying the closing price of Skyworks Common Stock on those dates by the Exchange Ratio of 0.960 and adding the $32.50 in cash portion of the Merger Consideration, rounded to the nearest cent.

(b) The last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Treatment of Skyworks Equity Awards
The Mergers are not expected to affect Skyworks' stock options or other stock-based awards. It is expected that all such awards will remain outstanding subject to the same terms and conditions that are applicable to such stock options or other stock-based awards prior to the Mergers; provided that Skyworks has amended the terms of each such award (other than the award of 455,028 performance shares granted to Skyworks' CEO on February 17, 2025 that can be earned based on the level of achievement of certain stock price hurdles during the period commencing on February 17, 2027 and ending February 17, 2031) to provide that in the event the employment or service of the holder is terminated by Skyworks other than for cause or by the holder for good reason, in either case, within eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date and in connection with the Mergers, such award will vest in full upon such termination (and any performance-based measures, to the extent performance has not been determined as of the date of such termination, will be deemed achieved at target level performance).

#### Treatment of Qorvo Equity Awards
At the effective time, the following will occur with respect to the equity awards of Qorvo:

 *Qorvo RSUs* 

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Qorvo restricted stock unit (each, a "Qorvo RSU Award") that is (a) vested but not yet settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by its terms becomes vested as a result of the occurrence of the Closing or (c) is held by a non-employee member of Qorvo's board as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Accelerated Qorvo RSUs"), will be canceled in consideration for the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Qorvo Common Stock that was subject to such Accelerated Qorvo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) an amount in cash equal to all dividend equivalents, if any, accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time with respect to each such Accelerated Qorvo RSU. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Accelerated Qorvo RSUs that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (*i.e*., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined) will be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance, subject to certain exceptions for individuals for whom achievement will be assumed at the greater of target performance and actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Qorvo RSU Award that is not an Accelerated Qorvo RSU (the "Unvested Qorvo RSU Awards") will be assumed by Skyworks and converted automatically into a restricted stock unit award covering shares of Skyworks Common Stock (each, an "Adjusted RSU Award"), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Qorvo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as described below and other than performance-based vesting conditions, which will not apply following the Effective Time, with dividend equivalents continuing to accrue in respect of such Adjusted RSU Award and with all accrued dividend equivalents paid at such time as the Adjusted RSU Award is settled), except that the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock subject to the Adjusted RSU Award as of the Effective Time will be determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to the corresponding Unvested Qorvo RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (b) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio, plus (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Cash Amount by the volume weighted average trading price of Skyworks Common

Stock on Nasdaq for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date, as calculated by Bloomberg L.P. (such amount, the "Conversion Ratio"), with any fractional shares in the resulting product rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any such Unvested Qorvo RSU Award that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, including any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents, will be determined by assuming, in respect of such Unvested Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance, subject to certain exceptions for individuals for whom achievement will be assumed at the greater of target performance and actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event of a termination of employment of any holder of an Adjusted RSU Award by Skyworks, the Surviving Company or one of their affiliates without "cause" or by such holder with "good reason" (each as defined in the applicable Qorvo equity plan or equity award agreement), in each case within the eighteen (18)-month period following the Closing Date, any such Adjusted RSU Awards held by such holder will accelerate and vest in full.

In connection with this engagement, the Qorvo Board requested that Centerview evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (other than, immediately prior to the Effective Time, any (a) shares of Qorvo Common Stock held directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo, (b) shares of Qorvo Common Stock held by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or held, directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks, (c) Dissenting Shares and (d) shares of Qorvo Common Stock held by any affiliate of Qorvo or Skyworks (clauses (a)-(d) collectively, the "Excluded Shares")) of the Merger Consideration proposed to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

#### Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

#### Interests of Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers
In considering the recommendation of the Skyworks Board to vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and Skyworks Stock Issuance, holders of Skyworks Common Stock should be aware that the directors and executive officers of Skyworks may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of Skyworks Common Stock generally and that may create potential conflicts of interests. The Skyworks Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger Agreement, and in recommending to holders of Skyworks Common Stock that they vote to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance.

Skyworks and Qorvo prepare their financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The mergers will be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations*, with Skyworks considered as the accounting acquirer and Qorvo as the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, Skyworks will measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values including net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date, with any excess purchase price over those fair values being recorded as goodwill.

 *For more information regarding the accounting treatment, see "The Mergers — Accounting Treatment of the Mergers."* 

#### Reasonable Best Efforts; Regulatory Filings and Other Actions
 *The obligations of Skyworks and Qorvo to consummate the Mergers are subject to, among other conditions, the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approval of the Mergers under certain other antitrust and foreign investment regimes.

Subject to certain limitations provided for in the Merger Agreement, Skyworks and Qorvo must use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including using reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, consents and orders from all governmental bodies and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with all governmental bodies, that are necessary to consummate the Mergers.

Each party to the Merger Agreement must use its reasonable best efforts to make or cause to be made, in cooperation with the other parties thereto and to the extent applicable: (a) as soon as reasonably practicable after October 27, 2025 (but in any event within twenty-five (25) business days after October 27, 2025) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Mergers; and (b) as promptly as practicable after October 27, 2025 all other necessary filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations and notices with other governmental bodies under other applicable antitrust laws and investment screening laws relating to the Mergers.

As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, each of Skyworks and Qorvo have filed their respective requisite notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the DOJ and the FTC. The HSR waiting period for the Transactions will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 5, 2026, unless otherwise terminated or extended.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

amended, supplemented, replaced, substituted, terminated or otherwise modified or waived from time to time, the "Commitment Letter"), under which Goldman Sachs Bank USA and certain other financial institutions (collectively, the "Commitment Parties") committed to provide $3.05 billion in an aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured bridge term loans, the availability of which is subject to mandatory commitment reductions upon the consummation of the Permanent Financing pursuant to the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter, for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, financing the Qorvo Credit Agreement Refinancing, paying related fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, to refinance certain of Qorvo's senior notes (the "Bridge Facility").

#### Treatment of Qorvo's Existing Debt
In connection with the Mergers, the parties intend to terminate and payoff the commitments under either (a) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2024 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Existing Qorvo Credit Agreement"), by and among Qorvo, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto or (b) to the extent Qorvo has replaced or fully refinanced its obligations under the Existing Qorvo Credit Agreement with a new credit facility in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the "Qorvo Credit Agreement Replacement" and together with the Existing Qorvo Credit Agreement, the "Qorvo Credit Agreement"), the Credit Agreement Replacement.

In connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement Termination, Qorvo will submit to the administrative agent under the Qorvo Credit Agreement, a notice of termination (and, if applicable, prepayment) that will request the termination of all the commitments thereunder (and, if applicable, prepayment of all loans thereunder) on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent such prepayment and/or termination notices have not been waived (such notice may state that such termination and/or prepayment is condition on the substantially concurrent closing of the Mergers). Skyworks will cause (a) repayment in full of all principal, interest and fees due in connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement Termination and (b) all then-outstanding letters of credit issued under the Qorvo Credit Agreement to be canceled, backstopped, cash collateralized, replaced or rolled over (the "Qorvo Credit Agreement Refinancing").

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, Skyworks to facilitate the termination and payoff of the commitments under the Qorvo Credit Agreement at the Closing. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to use commercially reasonable efforts (but which efforts do not require Qorvo to commence any litigation or other adversarial proceedings against the lenders, arrangers or agents (or any other persons) under the Qorvo Credit Agreement), subject to the cooperation of the lenders thereunder, to obtain and deliver to Skyworks a customary payoff letter in connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qorvo is not required to cause any repayment, release or termination of the Qorvo Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Mergers, Skyworks may choose to assume all or a portion of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes, or Skyworks may seek to refinance those notes with new Skyworks indebtedness or otherwise. The terms and timing of any such transactions have not been determined as of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This joint proxy statement/prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, or any notice of purchase or redemption with respect to, any debt securities of Qorvo or Skyworks and does not constitute a prospectus or prospectus equivalent or other offering document for any such securities.

If the proposed transaction is completed and certain other statutory requirements described herein are met, Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners who do not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, who properly demand appraisal of their shares, who hold shares of stock on the date of making such demand with respect to such shares, and who continuously held such shares through the Effective Time

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

may be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the First Merger under Section 262 of the DGCL. This means that Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners are entitled to have their shares appraised by the Court of Chancery and to receive in lieu of the Merger Consideration a cash payment of an amount determined by the Court of Chancery equal to the "fair value" of their Qorvo common stock, exclusive of any elements of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the First Merger, together with interest to be paid on the amount determined to be fair value, if any, as determined by the Court of Chancery or as described further herein, so long as they comply with the procedures established by Section 262 of the DGCL and certain other conditions relating to stock ownership thresholds are met.

A detailed description of the procedures required to be followed in order to perfect appraisal rights by Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners if desired is included in the section entitled "*The Mergers — Appraisal Rights of the Mergers*" beginning on page [152](#tARIT1) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, which detailed description is qualified by reference to the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL attached as <u>Annex G</u> to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Due to the complexity of the procedures described above, Qorvo stockholders who are considering exercising such rights are encouraged to carefully review this joint proxy statement/prospectus and <u>Annex G</u> and seek the advice of their legal counsel and financial advisors. Failure to comply strictly with these procedures will result in loss of the right of appraisal.

Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares of Qorvo common stock as determined by the Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL could be more than, the same as or less than the value of the Merger Consideration.

#### Nasdaq Listing of Skyworks Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Qorvo Common Stock
Each of Skyworks and Qorvo will take all action necessary to cause the Skyworks Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers to be listed on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, at or prior to the Closing Date. If the Mergers are consummated, Qorvo Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

#### Expected Timing of the Mergers
Skyworks and Qorvo currently expect the Mergers to be consummated early in calendar year 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others, (a) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, (b) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approval of the Mergers under certain other antitrust and foreign investment regimes, (c) the absence of any order, injunction or law of such jurisdictions prohibiting the Mergers, (d) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, (e) the approval of the issuance of shares of Skyworks Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration by a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, (f) the accuracy of Qorvo and Skyworks' respective representations and warranties, subject to certain standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, (g) compliance in all material respects with Qorvo and Skyworks' respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (h) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to each of Skyworks and Qorvo.

However, Skyworks and Qorvo cannot predict the actual date on which the Mergers will be consummated because consummation is subject to conditions beyond their control and it is possible that such conditions could result in the Mergers being consummated earlier or later or not being consummated at all. See "*The Mergers — Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers*" and "*The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Mergers*."

#### U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers
Qorvo and Skyworks intend for the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The consummation of the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Mergers is not conditioned on the Mergers qualifying for the intended tax treatment or upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel to that effect, and neither Qorvo no Skyworks will request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. However, in connection with the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, each of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, legal counsel to Qorvo, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, legal counsel to Skyworks, has delivered a legal opinion to the effect that the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

 *For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers, see "The Mergers — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers."* 

#### Litigation Related to the Mergers
Stockholders may file lawsuits challenging the Mergers, which may name Skyworks, Qorvo, members of the Skyworks Board, members of the Qorvo Board or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of any claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the consummation of the Mergers or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether.

Skyworks and Qorvo have each received demand letters from certain purported stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo, as applicable, that allege deficiencies and/or omissions in the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. The demand letters seek additional disclosures to remedy these purported deficiencies. Skyworks and Qorvo believe that the allegations in these letters are without merit. There can be no assurances that complaints or additional demands will not be filed or made with respect to the Mergers. If additional similar demands are made, neither Skyworks nor Qorvo will necessarily announce them.

#### The Merger Agreement

#### No Solicitation
As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo and Skyworks may not, and must cause their respective subsidiaries and their and their respective subsidiaries' respective executive officers and directors not to, and must use reasonable best efforts to cause their other respective representatives and the other representatives of their respective subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly through another person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage any Acquisition Proposal, or proposal or inquiry that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to Qorvo or Skyworks, respectively, or afford access to their respective businesses, properties, assets, books or records, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any third party that is seeking (or Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, should know is seeking) to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement (other than pursuant to a "fall-away" or other similar provision that causes such standstill or similar agreement to be automatically released, waived, modified or amended as a result of entering into the Merger Agreement in and of itself) with respect to any class of equity securities of Qorvo or Skyworks, respectively, or any of their respective subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • approve any transaction under, or any third-party becoming an "interested stockholder" under, Section 203 of the DGCL;

relating to any Acquisition Proposal, in each case, whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding, or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring Qorvo or Skyworks, respectively, to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby or breach their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

At any time prior to receipt of the Qorvo stockholder approval necessary to adopt this Agreement and to approve the Transactions, in the case of Qorvo, or receipt of the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance, in the case of Skyworks, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal made after October 27, 2025, and not resulting from a material breach of the Merger Agreement, that the Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable, in receipt of such Acquisition Proposal determines in good faith constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, may, upon a good faith determination by the Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with such board of director's fiduciary duties under applicable law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • furnish information with respect to itself and its subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and such person's representatives and financing sources).

 *For a more complete description of the no solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement, see "The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements — No Solicitation."* 

#### Change of Recommendation and Match Rights
As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the Merger Agreement and subject to the following paragraph, the Skyworks Board generally may not change its recommendation that Skyworks stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Stock Issuance Proposal, and the Qorvo Board generally may not change its recommendation that Qorvo stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal.

Under the Merger Agreement, a change of recommendation will occur if the Skyworks Board or the Qorvo Board, as applicable, including any committee thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • fails to make, withdraws, amends, modifies or qualifies, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify its recommendation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • approves, endorses, adopts or recommends, or publicly proposes to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • fails to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for Qorvo Common Stock, in the case of any offer for Qorvo, or for Skyworks Common Stock, in the case of any offer for Skyworks, within ten (10) business days after the commencement of such offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • takes any action to exempt or make any person (other than Skyworks or Qorvo) not subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL or any other potentially applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • fails to affirm publicly and without qualification its recommendation following any reasonable written request by Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, to provide such reaffirmation (including in the event of an Acquisition Proposal (other than pursuant to a commenced tender offer or exchange offer) having been publicly disclosed) prior to the earlier of (a) ten (10) calendar days following such request and (b) five (5) business days prior to the Qorvo Special Meeting or Skyworks Special Meeting, as applicable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • resolves or agrees to take any of the foregoing actions.

The Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable, may, at any time prior to receipt of the relevant stockholder approval, take any of the actions set forth below:

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • if there is an Intervening Event, effect a change in board recommendation if the Qorvo Board or the Skyworks Board, as applicable, concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • effect a change in board recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal if (a) the Qorvo Board or the Skyworks Board, as applicable, concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law and (b) the Qorvo Board or the Skyworks Board, as applicable, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

Qorvo and Skyworks will not be entitled to make a change in board recommendation pursuant to the preceding two bullets unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, have first provided prior written notice at least four (4) business days prior to making a change in board recommendation to Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, of its intention to make a change in board recommendation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, has, and has caused its respective financial advisor and legal counsel to, during the above mentioned notice period, negotiated with Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable (to the extent the Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, desires to negotiate), in good faith to make such amendments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or so that the Intervening Event no longer forms the basis for the Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable, to effect a change in board recommendation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel), has in good faith reaffirmed its determination that the Intervening Event continues to form the basis for its board to effect a change in board recommendation or the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions, including the Mergers, may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (other than in the case of the first bullet) by written notice of the terminating party to the other parties thereto:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • if Skyworks terminates the Merger Agreement in connection with a Skyworks Superior Proposal Termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • if Qorvo, prior to the receipt of the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance, terminates the Merger Agreement in connection with a Skyworks Triggering Event Termination; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • if (a) Skyworks terminates the Merger Agreement in connection with an Outside Date Termination or in connection with a failure to obtain the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance, or if Qorvo terminates the Merger Agreement in connection with a Breach of Skyworks Covenant Termination; (b) a Skyworks Acquisition Transaction has been publicly disclosed and has not been publicly withdrawn, subject to certain timing considerations; and (c) within twelve (12) months after such termination, Skyworks enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Skyworks Acquisition Transaction that is subsequently consummated or a Skyworks Acquisition Transaction occurs involving Skyworks.

Skyworks has also agreed to pay Qorvo a reverse termination fee in the amount of $100 million if, but only if, the Merger Agreement is terminated due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an Outside Date Termination and all closing conditions have been satisfied or waived, other than the Regulatory Approvals Condition or the No Legal Restraints Condition.

Additionally, each of Skyworks and Qorvo has also agreed to reimburse the other's reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with the Transactions in an amount not to exceed $45 million in the event that either party terminates the Merger Agreement due to a failure to obtain the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance or the Qorvo stockholder approval necessary to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, as applicable.

For a more complete description of the circumstances under which Skyworks or Qorvo will be required to pay a termination fee or other fees and expenses, see "*The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Other Fees*."

#### Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo
Upon completion of the First Merger, Qorvo stockholders receiving shares of Skyworks common stock will become stockholders of Skyworks, and their rights will be governed by Delaware law and the governing corporate documents of Skyworks in effect at the Effective Time. Qorvo stockholders will have different rights once they become stockholders of Skyworks due to differences between the governing corporate documents of Skyworks and the governing corporate documents of Qorvo, as described in more detail under the section entitled "*Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo*."

#### Voting and Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Skyworks and certain stockholders of Qorvo affiliated with Starboard Value LP ("SBV"), an affiliate of Peter Feld, a member of the Qorvo Board so designated by SBV (each, an "SBV Stockholder"), entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the "VSA"), pursuant to which, among other things, each SBV stockholder has agreed to vote (or cause to be voted) its shares of Qorvo Common Stock: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (b) in favor of any proposal to adjourn a meeting of Qorvo stockholders to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement; (c) against any Qorvo Acquisition Proposal or any other proposal in opposition to, or in competition with, the Mergers and the Transactions; and (d) against any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the Transactions or the VSA or the performance by Qorvo of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or by such SBV Stockholder of its obligations under the VSA. As of December 15, 2025, the SBV Stockholders collectively held approximately 8% of Qorvo's issued and outstanding shares.

#### RISK FACTORS
 *In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including, among others, the matters addressed in "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page [67](#tCNRF), you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to vote for the Stock Issuance Proposal, in the case of Skyworks stockholders, or for the Merger Agreement Proposal, in the case of Qorvo stockholders. In addition, you should read and consider the risks associated with each of the businesses of Skyworks and Qorvo because these risks will relate to the Combined Company following the consummation of the Mergers. Descriptions of some of these risks can be found in the respective Annual Reports of Skyworks and Qorvo on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025 and March 29, 2025, respectively, as such risks may be updated or supplemented in each company's respective subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You should also consider the other information in this document and the other documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Risks Related to the Mergers
 ***The consummation of the Mergers is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions that may be outside of Qorvo or Skyworks' control and that Qorvo and Skyworks may be unable to satisfy, or that may delay the consummation of the Mergers or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the Mergers or cause the parties to abandon the Mergers.***

The consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain closing conditions, some of which are beyond Qorvo or Skyworks' control including, among others, (a) the adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, (b) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approval of the Mergers under certain other antitrust and foreign investment regimes, (c) the absence of any order, injunction or law of such jurisdictions prohibiting the Mergers, (d) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, (e) the approval of the issuance of shares of Skyworks Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration by a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, (f) the accuracy of Qorvo and Skyworks' respective representations and warranties, subject to certain standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, (g) compliance in all material respects with the Qorvo and Skyworks' respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (h) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to each of Skyworks and Qorvo. See "*The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Mergers*" for a more detailed description.

While each of Skyworks and Qorvo have agreed in the Merger Agreement to use reasonable best efforts to satisfy the closing conditions, Skyworks and Qorvo, as applicable, may not be successful in their efforts to do so. The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the consummation of the Mergers for a significant period of time or prevent consummation from occurring at all. Any delay in consummating the Mergers could cause Skyworks and Qorvo not to realize some or all of the benefits, or realize them on a different timeline than expected, that Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, expects to achieve if the Mergers are successfully consummated within the expected timeframe. There can be no assurance that the conditions in the Merger Agreement will be satisfied or (to the extent permitted) waived or that the Mergers will be consummated.

In addition, each of Skyworks and Qorvo may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, (a) if the Mergers are not consummated by 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time on April 27, 2027, which date may be extended to 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time on July 27, 2027 and to 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time on October 27, 2027, in each case under certain circumstances, (b) if any specified governmental authority has issued a final non-appealable order or injunction prohibiting the Mergers, (c) if either Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, fails to obtain the requisite approval of its stockholders, (d) if the Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board changes its recommendation to its stockholders to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement (in the case of Qorvo) or the issuance of Skyworks Common Stock

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

pursuant to the Merger Agreement (in the case of Skyworks), (e) in order to accept a Superior Proposal or (f) if Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, materially breaches its covenants, or breaches its representations and warranties, in the Merger Agreement such that the applicable conditions to the Closing would not be satisfied, subject in certain cases to the right of the breaching party to cure the breach. Qorvo and Skyworks may also terminate the Merger Agreement by mutual written consent.

Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, each of Qorvo and Skyworks under specified circumstances, including termination by such party to accept a superior proposal or termination by the other party upon a change in such party's board of directors' recommendation to its stockholders, will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $298,692,098. Additionally, Skyworks, under specified circumstances, including termination following the entry of an injunction issued in connection with certain antitrust laws or investment screening laws, or the failure to receive certain required regulatory approvals from specified governmental authorities by the Outside Date, will be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee of $100 million. See "*Summary — The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation*," and "*The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Other Fees*."

Additionally, each of Skyworks and Qorvo has also agreed to reimburse the other's reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with the Transactions in an amount not to exceed $45 million in the event that either party terminates the Merger Agreement due to a failure to obtain the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance or the Qorvo stockholder approval necessary to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, as applicable.

As a condition to granting the required clearance under the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission or the Governmental Bodies responsible for the enforcement of certain other antitrust and foreign direct investment regimes may impose limitations or costs, require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company after the closing of the Mergers; provided, however, that Skyworks and its subsidiaries will not be required to: (a) sell, assign, transfer, divest, restructure, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of Qorvo or Skyworks, other than the sale, assignment, transfer, divestiture, restructuring, holding separate or other disposal of any product line or product lines that, individually or in the aggregate, represent less than $100 million in annual revenue; or (b) take, or cause to be taken, the imposition of any restriction, requirement or behavioral or commercial limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of Qorvo, Skyworks or the Combined Company or any other action, that, in the case of this clause (b) only, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Combined Company.

If the Mergers are not consummated, Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective ongoing businesses and financial results and the trading prices of Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective common stock may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having consummated the Mergers, Skyworks and Qorvo will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • if the merger agreement is terminated and the Skyworks Board or the Qorvo Board seeks another business combination, Skyworks stockholders and Qorvo stockholders cannot be certain that Skyworks or Qorvo will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that the other party has agreed to in the Merger Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the prices of our common stock due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Mergers will be consummated, or from their respective customers, suppliers, employees, labor unions, or other business partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • having to pay certain significant costs relating to the Mergers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the attention of Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective managements will have been diverted to the Mergers rather than our own operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable.

In addition, if the Mergers are not consummated, Skyworks or Qorvo could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Mergers or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against Skyworks or Qorvo to perform their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement, and whether or

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

not any such litigation has any merit, the cost of defending such litigation may be significant. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely impact Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective ongoing businesses.

Similarly, delays in the consummation of the Mergers could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue, or other negative effects associated with uncertainty about consummation of the Mergers.

 ***Even if the Merger Agreement Proposal is approved by Qorvo stockholders, the date that Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration is still uncertain.***

As described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, consummating the Mergers is subject to numerous conditions, not all of which are controllable or waivable by Qorvo or Skyworks. Accordingly, if the Merger Agreement Proposal is approved by Qorvo stockholders, the date that Qorvo stockholders will be entitled receive the Merger Consideration depends on the Closing Date of the Mergers, which is uncertain.

 ***The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit each of Qorvo and Skyworks' ability to pursue alternatives to the Mergers, which could discourage a potential competing acquiror of either Skyworks or Qorvo from making an Acquisition Proposal and, in specified circumstances, could require Qorvo or Skyworks to pay substantial termination fees to Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable.***

The Merger Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict each of Skyworks' and Qorvo's ability to, among other things: (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage any Acquisition Proposal, or proposal or inquiry that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; or (b) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to Qorvo or Skyworks, respectively, or any of their respective subsidiaries to, afford access to their respective businesses, properties, assets, books or records, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any third party that is seeking (or Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, should know is seeking) to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal. Each of Skyworks and Qorvo further agreed to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and must not authorize or knowingly permit any of their or their subsidiaries' respective representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, with any third party conducted with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. In addition, the other party generally has an opportunity to negotiate in good faith to make such amendments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or so that the Intervening Event no longer forms the basis for the Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable, to effect a change in board recommendation.

Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, each of Qorvo and Skyworks under specified circumstances, including termination by such party to accept a superior proposal or termination by the other party upon a change in such party's board of directors' recommendation to its stockholders, will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $298,692,098. Additionally, Skyworks, under specified circumstances, including termination following an injunction arising in connection with certain antitrust laws or investment screening laws, or failure to receive certain required regulatory approvals of specified governmental authorities by the Outside Date, will be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee of $100 million. See "*Summary — The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation*," and "*The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Other Fees*."

Additionally, each of Skyworks and Qorvo has also agreed to reimburse the other's reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with the Transactions in an amount not to exceed $45 million in the event that either party terminates the Merger Agreement due to a failure to obtain the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance or the Qorvo stockholder approval necessary to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, as applicable.

These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquiror or merger partner that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of Skyworks or Qorvo or pursuing an alternative acquisition transaction from considering or proposing such a transaction, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per-share value than the per-share value proposed to be received or realized in the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Mergers. In particular, a termination fee, if applicable, could result in a potential third-party acquiror or merger partner proposing to pay a lower price to the Skyworks stockholders or Qorvo stockholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay absent such a fee. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and either Skyworks or Qorvo determines to seek another business combination, Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 ***The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either Skyworks' or Qorvo's stock price. As a result, the value of the Merger Consideration payable to Qorvo's stockholders may be subject to change if Skyworks' stock price fluctuates.***

At the Effective Time, each share of Qorvo Common Stock (other than shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held (a) directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or (c) directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest, and $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Exchange Ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock between October 27, 2025 and consummation of the Mergers. Due to the fixed Exchange Ratio, fluctuations in the price of Skyworks Common Stock will drive corresponding changes in the value of the stock component of the Merger Consideration payable to each Qorvo stockholder. As a result, changes in the price of Skyworks Common Stock prior to the Effective Time will affect the value of Skyworks Common Stock that Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive at the Effective Time.

The price of Skyworks Common Stock has fluctuated during the period between October 27, 2025 and the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and may continue to change through the date of each of Skyworks' and Qorvo's stockholder meetings and the date the Mergers are consummated. For example, based on the range of closing prices of Skyworks Common Stock during the period from October 27, 2025, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the parties' execution of the Merger Agreement, through December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Exchange Ratio resulted in an implied value of the Merger Consideration ranging from a high of approximately $109.55 to a low of approximately $90.58 for each share of Qorvo Common Stock. The actual market value of the Skyworks Common Stock received by Qorvo stockholders upon consummation of the Mergers may result in an implied value of the Merger Consideration outside this range. Neither Skyworks nor Qorvo is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement solely as a result of any increase or decrease in the market price of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock.

These variations could result from changes in the business, operations or prospects of Skyworks or Qorvo prior to or following the consummation of the Mergers, regulatory considerations, general market and economic conditions, and other factors both within and beyond the control of Skyworks or Qorvo. At the time of the Qorvo Special Meeting, Qorvo stockholders will not know with certainty the value of the shares of Skyworks Common Stock that they will be entitled to receive upon consummation of the Mergers.

 ***The shares of Skyworks Common Stock to be received by Qorvo stockholders upon consummation of the Mergers will entitle the holders thereof to different rights from shares of Qorvo Common Stock.***

Upon consummation of the Mergers, Qorvo stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Qorvo but will instead become stockholders of Skyworks, and their rights as Skyworks stockholders will be governed by the terms of the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws. The terms of the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws are in some respects materially different from the terms of the Qorvo articles of incorporation and the Qorvo bylaws, respectively, which currently govern the rights of Qorvo stockholders. For a discussion of the different rights associated with shares of Qorvo Common Stock and shares of Skyworks Common Stock, see "*Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo*."

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

 ***Members of Skyworks and Qorvo management and the Skyworks Board and Qorvo Board have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders.***

In considering whether to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Merger Agreement Proposal, Skyworks and Qorvo stockholders, as applicable, should recognize that members of Skyworks or Qorvo management and the Skyworks Board or Qorvo Board have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, their interests as stockholders of Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, including treatment of outstanding Qorvo equity awards in connection with the Transactions, potential severance benefits, potential transaction bonuses and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage.

These interests include that the board of directors of the Combined Company will be comprised of eleven (11) directors and will consist of: (a) the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (who will be the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks as of immediately after the Effective Time); (b) seven (7) directors designated by the Skyworks Board; and (c) three (3) directors designated by the Qorvo Board, each of which must be reasonably acceptable to Skyworks. Promptly following the Closing, the Board will also designate a Chairman. Robert Bruggeworth, Qorvo's current President, Chief Executive Officer and director, will be one of Qorvo's designees upon the Closing.

 *Each of the Skyworks Board and Qorvo Board were aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving and declaring advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. These and other such interests are further described in "The Mergers — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers" and "The Mergers — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers."* 

 ***The Mergers are subject to the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, which requisite regulatory approvals may never be obtained, therefore preventing consummation of the Mergers. In addition, in granting such approvals, regulatory authorities may impose conditions that could have a significant adverse effect on Skyworks, Qorvo or the Combined Company and the expected benefits of the Mergers therefore preventing consummation of the Mergers.***

Before the Mergers may be consummated, the requisite regulatory approvals must have been obtained, as described in the section "*The Mergers — Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers*." The terms and conditions of the approvals that are granted may impose requirements, concessions, limitations or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of the Combined Company's business. Upon the terms and subject to conditions of the Merger Agreement, each party to the Merger Agreement has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to make or cause to be made, in cooperation with the other parties thereto and to the extent applicable: (a) as soon as reasonably practicable after October 27, 2025 (but in any event within twenty-five (25) business days after October 27, 2025) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Mergers; and (b) as promptly as practicable after October 27, 2025 all other necessary filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations and notices with other governmental bodies under other applicable antitrust laws and investment screening laws relating to the Mergers. For purposes of the foregoing, "reasonable best efforts" includes, among others, (a) contesting and resisting (including through litigation on the merits until a final non-appealable decision) any legal proceeding, and to avoid the entry of and, if necessary, have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any law or order, writ, injunction, judgment, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) enacted, promulgated, issued or entered by any governmental body having competent jurisdiction over Qorvo or Skyworks (each, a "<u>Restraint</u>") that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions under any antitrust law or investment screening law; and (b) if doing so would enable the parties to avoid, resolve or lift a Restraint or legal proceeding, imposing any restriction, requirement or behavioral or commercial limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of, (i) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations, ventures or other arrangements of, (ii) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations of, or (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, divesting, restructuring, holding separate or otherwise disposing of any assets, business or portion of business of, in each case, the Combined Company, Qorvo, Skyworks or any of their respective subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Skyworks will not be required to: (A) sell, assign, transfer, divest, restructure, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of Qorvo,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, Skyworks or any of their respective subsidiaries, other than the sale, assignment, transfer, divestiture, restructuring, holding separate or other disposal of any product line or product lines that, individually or in the aggregate, represent less than $100 million in annual revenue; or (B) take, or cause to be taken, the imposition of any restriction, requirement or behavioral or commercial limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of Qorvo, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, Skyworks or any of their respective subsidiaries or any other action, that, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Combined Company; and provided further that any obligation to commit to or implement any regulatory remedy is subject to such regulatory remedy being conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers.

If such regulatory and governmental authorities seek to impose such terms, conditions, obligations or restrictions, lengthy negotiations may ensue among such authorities, Skyworks and Qorvo. Such terms, conditions, obligations or restrictions and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of jeopardizing or delaying consummation of the Mergers and such terms, conditions, obligations or restrictions may not be identified or satisfied for an extended period of time following the Skyworks Special Meeting and the Qorvo Special Meeting. Such terms, conditions, obligations or restrictions may also impose additional costs or limitations on the Combined Company following the consummation of the Mergers. Neither Skyworks nor Qorvo can provide assurance that any such terms, conditions, obligations or restrictions and each party's respective best efforts to comply with any such terms, conditions, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Mergers. These requirements, concessions, and conditions may also reduce the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, including synergies, which could also have a significant adverse effect on the Combined Company's business and cash flows and results of operations, and neither Skyworks nor Qorvo can predict what, if any, requirements, concessions, and conditions may be required by regulatory or governmental authorities whose approvals are required. The requisite regulatory approvals may not be obtained at all, may not be obtained in a timely fashion, and may contain conditions on the consummation of the Mergers.

 *For a more detailed description of the regulatory review process, see "The Mergers — Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers" and "The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements — Reasonable Best Efforts; Regulatory Filings and Other Actions."* 

#### Each party is subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Mergers are pending, which could adversely affect each party's business and operations.
In connection with the pendency of the Mergers, some customers, suppliers and other persons with whom Skyworks or Qorvo may delay or defer certain business decisions or terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with Skyworks or Qorvo, as the case may be, as a result of the Mergers, which could negatively affect Skyworks' or Qorvo's respective revenues, earnings and cash flows, as well as the market price of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock, regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of Skyworks and Qorvo is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to consummating the Mergers that may adversely affect its ability to execute certain of its business strategies, including the ability in certain cases to enter into or amend contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, incur indebtedness, incur capital expenditures, settle litigation, amend organizational documents, declare dividends, enter new business lines and invest in third parties. Such limitations could adversely affect each of Qorvo and Skyworks' businesses and operations prior to the consummation of the Mergers.

Each of the risks described above may be exacerbated by delays or other adverse developments with respect to the consummation of the Mergers.

 ***The announcement and pendency of the Mergers could divert the attention of management and cause disruptions in the businesses of Skyworks and Qorvo, as applicable, which could have an adverse effect on the business and financial results of both Skyworks and Qorvo.***

Management of both Skyworks and Qorvo may be required to divert a disproportionate amount of attention away from their respective day-to-day activities and operations, and devote time and effort to

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

consummating the Mergers. The risks, and adverse effects, of such disruptions and diversions could be exacerbated by a delay in the consummation of the Mergers. These factors could adversely affect the financial position or results of operations of Skyworks and Qorvo, regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated.

#### Skyworks and Qorvo will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the Mergers.
Skyworks and Qorvo will incur substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of consummating the Mergers, including advisory, legal and other transaction costs, and, following the consummation of the Mergers, Skyworks expects to incur additional expenses in connection with combining the companies. Significant costs have already been incurred or will be incurred regardless of whether the Mergers are ultimately consummated. Factors beyond Skyworks' and Qorvo's control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. Management of Skyworks and Qorvo continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Mergers. Although Skyworks and Qorvo expect that the realization of benefits related to the Mergers will offset such costs and expenses over time, no assurances can be made that this net benefit will be achieved in the near term, or at all. In addition, each of the parties may be required to pay a termination fee, or other costs and expenses, if the Transactions are not consummated. For more information, see "*The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Other Fees*."

 ***If the Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code, the U.S. Holders of Qorvo Common Stock may be required to pay additional U.S. federal income taxes.***

Skyworks and Qorvo intend for the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Skyworks and Qorvo intend to report the Mergers consistent with such qualification. Assuming the Mergers so qualify, a U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock that receives shares of Skyworks Common Stock and cash in exchange for shares of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the First Merger generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Skyworks Common Stock received by such U.S. Holder in the First Merger exceeds such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder's Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor and (b) the amount of cash received by such U.S. Holder (in each case, excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock, which is addressed in "*The Mergers — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers — Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares*"). However, it is not a condition to Skyworks' obligation or Qorvo's obligation to consummate the Transactions that the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" or that Qorvo or Skyworks receive an opinion from their respective counsel to that effect, and it is possible that the Mergers, taken together, may not so qualify.

Skyworks and Qorvo have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding any matters relating to the Transactions and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service would not assert that the Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization," or that a court would not sustain such a position. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a court were to determine that the Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock that exchanges such Qorvo Common Stock for shares of Skyworks Common Stock and cash pursuant to the First Merger generally would recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Skyworks Common Stock received by such U.S. Holder and (b) such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor.

Holders of Qorvo Common Stock should consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the Mergers to them. For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers, see "*The Mergers — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers.*"

 ***Skyworks and Qorvo may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits that could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Mergers from being consummated, whether or not such lawsuits have any merit.***

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into Merger Agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against or otherwise

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

resolving these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Mergers, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Mergers from being consummated, or from being consummated within the expected timeframe, which may adversely affect Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective business, financial position and results of operation.

 ***None of the opinions regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration delivered to the Skyworks Board and the Qorvo Board prior to the signing of the Merger Agreement reflects any changes in circumstances since the date on which such opinions were delivered.***

Each of the opinions rendered by Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs, financial advisors to Skyworks, to the Skyworks Board on, and dated, October 27, 2025, and by Centerview, financial advisor to Qorvo, to the Qorvo Board on, and dated, October 27, 2025, were based upon information available to such financial advisors as of the date of each respective opinion. None of the opinions reflect any changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date on which that opinion was delivered, including changes to the operations and prospects of Skyworks or Qorvo, changes in general market and economic conditions or other changes which may be beyond the control of Skyworks and Qorvo, as applicable. Any such changes may alter the relative value of Skyworks or Qorvo or the prices of shares of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock by the time the Mergers are consummated. The opinions do not speak as of the date the Mergers will be consummated or as of any date other than the date of each respective opinion. For a description of the opinions that the Skyworks Board received from Skyworks' financial advisors, see "*The Mergers — Opinions of Skyworks' Financial Advisors*." For a description of the opinion that the Qorvo Board received from Qorvo's financial advisor, see "*The Mergers — Opinion of Qorvo's Financial Advisor*."

#### Holders of Skyworks Common Stock will not have appraisal rights or dissenters' rights in the Mergers.
Appraisal rights (also known as dissenters' rights) are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction.

Under Delaware law, Skyworks stockholders will not be entitled to any appraisal rights in connection with the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance.

For additional information on the appraisal rights Qorvo stockholders are entitled to in connection with the First Merger, see "*The Mergers — Appraisal Rights in the Mergers.*"

 ***Skyworks expects to obtain financing in connection with the Mergers but cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all.***

Skyworks anticipates that the funds needed to consummate the Transactions will be derived from a combination of (a) available cash on hand and (b) third-party debt financing. Skyworks' ability to obtain any such new debt financing will depend on, among other factors, its financial condition and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions, the terms of such financing, and other factors beyond Skyworks' control. Skyworks cannot assure you that it will be able to obtain new debt financing on terms acceptable to it or at all, and any such failure could materially adversely affect its operations and financial condition. Skyworks' obligation to consummate the Mergers is not conditioned upon the receipt of any financing by Skyworks.

#### The market price of Skyworks Common Stock may decline as a result of the Mergers.
The market price of Skyworks Common Stock may decline as a result of the Mergers, and holders of Skyworks Common Stock, including holders of Qorvo Common Stock who become holders of Skyworks Common Stock as a result of the Mergers, could lose the value of their investment in Skyworks Common Stock, if, among other things, the Combined Company is unable to achieve the expected growth in earnings, or if the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation, and operational efficiencies, from the Mergers are not realized, or if the transaction costs related to the Mergers are greater than expected,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

or if any financing related to the transaction is on unfavorable terms. The market price also may decline if the Combined Company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Mergers as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the Mergers on the Combined Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. The issuance of shares of Skyworks Common Stock in the Mergers could on its own have the effect of depressing the market price for Skyworks Common Stock. In addition, many Qorvo stockholders may decide not to hold the shares of Skyworks Common Stock they receive as a result of the Mergers. Other Qorvo stockholders, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell the shares of Skyworks Common Stock they receive as a result of the Mergers. Any such sales of Skyworks Common Stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for Skyworks Common Stock. Moreover, general fluctuations in stock markets could have a material adverse effect on the market for, or liquidity of, the Skyworks Common Stock, regardless of the actual operating performance of the Combined Company.

#### Skyworks or Qorvo may waive one or more of the closing conditions without re-soliciting stockholder approval.
Skyworks or Qorvo may determine to waive, in whole or part, one or more of the conditions to its obligations to consummate the Mergers. Skyworks or Qorvo currently expect to evaluate the materiality of any waiver and its effect on Skyworks or Qorvo stockholders, as applicable, in light of the facts and circumstances at the time to determine whether any amendment of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or any re-solicitation of proxies or voting cards is required in light of such waiver. Any determination whether to waive any condition to the Mergers or as to re-soliciting stockholder approval or amending this joint proxy statement/prospectus as a result of a waiver will be made by Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, at the time of such waiver based on the facts and circumstances as they exist at that time.

#### Risks Relating to the Combined Company after Consummation of the Mergers

#### The Combined Company may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses of Skyworks and Qorvo and realize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers.
The success of the Mergers will depend, in part, on the Combined Company's ability to successfully combine the businesses of Skyworks and Qorvo, which currently operate as independent public companies, and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies, from the Mergers. After consummation of the Mergers, the Combined Company will have significantly more systems, assets, investments, businesses, customers and employees than each company did prior to the Transactions. If the Combined Company is unable to achieve anticipated benefits within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected and the value of its common stock may be harmed. Additionally, as a result of the Mergers, rating agencies may take negative actions against the Combined Company's credit ratings, which may increase the Combined Company's financing costs, including in connection with any financing of the Mergers.

The Mergers involve the integration of Qorvo's business with Skyworks' existing business, which is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. Management of each company will be required to devote a significant amount of time and attention to the integration process before the Transactions are consummated. There is a significant degree of difficulty and management involvement inherent in that process. These difficulties include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business concerns and performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the devotion of management's attention to the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • integrating the companies' operations and corporate functions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • integrating the companies' technologies, networks and customer service platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • integrating and unifying the product offerings and services available to customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • creating, implementing and executing a unified business strategy, and operational, financial and managerial control with respect to the Combined Company;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • maintaining employee morale, and attracting, motivating and retaining management personnel and other key employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • maintaining existing relationships and agreements with customers, providers, programmers and other vendors and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers, providers and vendors and attracting new business and operational relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • coordinating programming and marketing efforts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • coordinating geographically dispersed organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • integrating information, purchasing, provisioning, accounting, finance, sales, billing, payroll, reporting and regulatory compliance systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations and inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • managing a significantly larger company than before the consummated of the Transactions.

Many of these factors will be outside of the Combined Company's control and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, and diversion of management's time and energy, which could materially affect the Combined Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Skyworks and Qorvo have operated, and until consummation of the Mergers will continue to operate, independently. Skyworks and Qorvo are currently permitted to conduct only limited planning for the integration of the two companies following the Mergers and have not yet determined the exact nature of how the businesses and operations of the two companies will be combined after the Mergers. The actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized.

 ***Skyworks stockholders and Qorvo stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Mergers and will exercise less influence over the policies of the Combined Company than they now have on the policies of Skyworks and Qorvo, respectively.***

Skyworks stockholders presently have the right to vote in the election of the Skyworks Board and on other matters affecting Skyworks. Qorvo stockholders presently have the right to vote in the election of the Qorvo Board and on other matters affecting Qorvo. Immediately after the Mergers are consummated, it is expected that current Skyworks stockholders will own approximately 63% of the Combined Company's common stock outstanding and current Qorvo stockholders will own approximately 37% of the Combined Company's common stock outstanding, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

As a result, current Skyworks stockholders and current Qorvo stockholders will have less influence on the policies of the Combined Company than they now have on the policies of Skyworks and Qorvo, respectively.

 ***The future results of the Combined Company may be adversely impacted if the Combined Company does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the consummation of the Mergers.***

Following the consummation of the Mergers, the size of the Combined Company's business will be significantly larger than the current size of either Skyworks' or Qorvo's respective businesses. The Combined Company's ability to successfully manage this expanded business will depend, in part, upon management's ability to design and implement operational, managerial, financial and strategic initiatives that address not only the integration of two independent stand-alone companies, but also the increased scale and scope of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the combined business with its associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that the Combined Company will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits currently anticipated from the Mergers.

 ***Failure by Qorvo and Skyworks to successfully execute their respective business strategy and objectives may materially adversely affect the future results of the Combined Company and, consequently, the market value of Combined Company's Common Stock.***

The success of the Mergers will depend, in part, on the ability of Qorvo to successfully execute its business strategy, including the development and delivery of new products that respond to the evolving product requirements of Qorvo's customers. Furthermore, Qorvo's business strategy, operations, and plans for growth and expansion rely significantly on agreements with suppliers, service providers and other third parties. Qorvo's ability to provide semiconductor solutions to its customers depends in large part upon its ability to maintain these agreements with suppliers, service providers and third parties, and upon the performance of the obligations under the agreements by the suppliers and third parties. The termination of, or the failure to renew, these agreements could have a material adverse effect on Qorvo's consolidated financial statements and interfere with its business strategy, operations, and plans for growth. If Qorvo is not able to achieve its business strategy on a timely basis, or otherwise fails to perform in accordance with Skyworks' (or Qorvo's) expectations, the anticipated benefits of the Mergers may not be realized fully or at all, and the Mergers may materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Combined Company, and, consequently, the market value of the Combined Company's common stock.

The success of the Mergers will also depend, in part, on the ability of Skyworks to successfully execute its business strategy, including enabling customers to navigate rising 5G and wireless complexity, advancing long-term customer programs, expanding markets and product offerings, maintaining consistent supply, and driving strong financial and stockholder performance. If Skyworks is not able to achieve its business strategy on a timely basis, or otherwise fails to perform in accordance with its expectations, the anticipated benefits of the Mergers may not be realized fully or at all, and the Mergers may materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Combined Company, and, consequently, the market value of the Combined Company's common stock.

 ***The Pro Forma Financial Statements in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be reflective of the financial position and results of operations of the Combined Company following consummation of the Mergers.***

The Pro Forma Financial Statements in this joint proxy statement/prospectus were prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only, to demonstrate the estimated effects of the Mergers and certain other related transactions and adjustments. The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP with the expectation, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, that identified Skyworks as the acquirer. The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared on the basis that such preliminary estimated adjustments will be incurred to achieve the Mergers, are pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses, and do not include adjustments to reflect any potential costs that may be incurred in connection with actions required by regulatory or governmental authorities for regulatory approvals and clearances of the Mergers, including divestitures or concessions; anticipated benefits, including synergies, costs savings, innovation and operational efficiencies; or potential post-Mergers costs, such as restructuring and integration charges.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Combined Company's actual financial position or results of operations would have actually been had the Mergers been consummated as of the dates indicated. Further, the Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the Combined Company after the Mergers, which may differ materially and adversely from the Pro Forma Financial Statements that are included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The final acquisition accounting will be based upon the actual consideration and the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed of the party that is determined to be the acquiree under GAAP as of the date of the consummation of the Mergers. In addition, subsequent to the Closing Date, there will be further refinements of the acquisition accounting as additional information

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

becomes available. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting may differ materially from the Pro Forma Financial Statements reflected in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information*" for more information.

#### Qorvo's and Skyworks' financial forecasts are based on various assumptions that may not prove to be correct.
The financial forecasts set forth in "*The Mergers — Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information*" are based on assumptions of, and information available to, Qorvo and Skyworks at the time they were prepared and provided to the Qorvo Board and Skyworks Board, respectively, along with their respective financial advisors. Qorvo and Skyworks do not know whether such assumptions will prove correct. Any or all of such forecasts may turn out to be wrong. Such forecasts can be adversely affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Qorvo's and Skyworks' control. Many factors discussed in, or in documents incorporated by reference into, this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the risks outlined in this "*Risk Factors*" section and the events or circumstances described under "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*," will be important in determining Qorvo's, Skyworks', and the Combined Company's future results. As a result of these contingencies, actual future results may vary materially from Qorvo's and Skyworks' forecasts.

In view of these uncertainties, the inclusion of Qorvo's and Skyworks' financial forecasts in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is not and should not be viewed as a representation that the forecast results will be achieved. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Qorvo and Skyworks undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update the financial forecasts herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date those financial forecasts were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Moreover, neither Qorvo's nor Skyworks' independent accountants, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to Qorvo's or Skyworks' unaudited prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or achievability thereof.

 ***Consummation of the Mergers may trigger change in control, assignment or other provisions in certain agreements to which Qorvo is a party, which may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company's business and results of operations.***

The consummation of the Mergers may trigger change in control, assignment and other provisions in certain agreements to which Qorvo is a party. If Qorvo is unable to negotiate waivers of or consents under those provisions, the counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under the agreements, which may include potentially terminating the agreements or seeking monetary damages or other remedies. Even if Qorvo is able to negotiate waivers, the counterparties may require a fee for such waivers or seek to renegotiate the agreements on terms less favorable to the Combined Company. Any of the foregoing or similar developments may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company's business and results of operations following the consummation of the Mergers or the ability of Skyworks and Qorvo to successfully integrate their respective businesses.

 ***Uncertainties associated with the Mergers may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees, and Skyworks and Qorvo may have difficulty attracting, motivating and retaining management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of the Combined Company.***

Skyworks and Qorvo are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their respective management personnel and other key employees to execute their business plans. The Combined Company's success after the consummation of the Mergers will depend in part upon the ability of Skyworks and Qorvo to attract, motivate, and retain key management personnel and other key employees. Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, current and prospective employees of Skyworks and Qorvo may experience uncertainty about their roles within the Combined Company following the consummation of the Mergers, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of each of Skyworks and Qorvo to attract, motivate, or retain management personnel and other key employees. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Combined Company will be able to attract, motivate, or retain management personnel and other key

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

employees of Skyworks and Qorvo to the same extent that Skyworks and Qorvo have previously been able to attract or retain their own employees.

#### The Combined Company is expected to incur substantial expenses related to the consummation of the Mergers and the integration of Skyworks and Qorvo.
The Combined Company is expected to incur substantial expenses in connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the integration of Skyworks and Qorvo. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated, including purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll, pricing, revenue management, marketing, and benefits. Many of these costs will be non-recurring expenses related to the Mergers (including any financing of the Mergers), facilities, and systems consolidation costs. The Combined Company may incur additional costs to retain employees and/or maintain employee morale and to attract, motivate, or retain management personnel and other key employees. Skyworks and Qorvo will also incur transaction fees and costs related to formulating integration plans for the combined business, and the execution of these plans may lead to additional unanticipated costs. Additionally, as a result of the Mergers, rating agencies may take negative actions with regard to the Combined Company's credit ratings, which may increase the Combined Company's financing costs, including in connection with any financing of the Mergers. These incremental transaction and merger-related costs may exceed the savings the Combined Company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative costs and the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, particularly in the near term, and in the event there are material unanticipated costs.

#### The Combined Company's indebtedness may limit its flexibility and increase its borrowing costs.
As of December 15, 2025, Skyworks had approximately $1 billion of outstanding indebtedness and Qorvo had approximately $1.6 billion of outstanding indebtedness. The Combined Company's consolidated indebtedness may have the effect of, among other things, increasing borrowing costs. In addition, the amount of cash required to service the indebtedness levels will be greater than the amount of cash flows required to service the indebtedness of Skyworks or Qorvo individually prior to consummation of the Mergers. The level of indebtedness could also reduce dividend payments, share repurchases, and other activities and may create competitive disadvantages relative to other companies with lower debt levels. The Combined Company may be required to raise additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes. The Combined Company's ability to arrange additional financing or refinancing will depend on, among other factors, its financial condition and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions, the terms of third-party debt financing incurred in connection with the consummation of the Mergers (if any), and other factors beyond its control. There can be no assurance that the Combined Company will be able to obtain additional financing or arrange refinancing on terms acceptable to it or at all, and any such failure could materially adversely affect its operations and financial condition. For more information on the financial impact of the Mergers on the Combined Company's indebtedness, see "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.*"

 ***The financing arrangements that the Combined Company will enter into or assume in connection with the Mergers may, under certain circumstances, contain restrictions and limitations that could increase the risks associated with the Combined Company's level of indebtedness and could significantly impact the Combined Company's ability to operate its business and negatively affect its financial condition.***

As of December 15, 2025, Skyworks had approximately $1 billion of outstanding indebtedness and Qorvo had approximately $1.6 billion of outstanding indebtedness. Following the Mergers, the Combined Company will have a significant amount of outstanding indebtedness. This includes Skyworks' existing indebtedness and, to the extent assumed, Qorvo's outstanding senior notes, as well as any acquisition-related borrowings incurred to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the Mergers, repay Qorvo's existing credit facility, refinance certain of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes, and/or pay related fees and expenses.

In connection with the Mergers, Skyworks entered into the Commitment Letter to provide financing for a portion of the cash consideration to be paid in the Mergers and related transaction costs, and, if necessary, to refinance certain of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes. The Combined Company expects to use

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

a portion of the proceeds from such facilities to repay Qorvo's existing credit facility substantially concurrently with the completion of the Mergers. The Combined Company's ability to access new debt financing, whether for acquisition-related needs or for post-closing purposes, will depend on market conditions and other factors that are outside of our control. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Skyworks' obligation to complete the Mergers is not conditioned upon receipt of any financing.

In addition, the Combined Company may choose to assume all or a portion of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes. To the extent the Combined Company assumes any of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes, the Combined Company will become subject to the covenants contained in those instruments. Qorvo's senior notes contain restrictive covenants (subject to suspension in the event the relevant series achieves investment-grade ratings) that are, in certain respects, more restrictive than those applicable to Skyworks' current indebtedness. These covenants would limit the ability of Qorvo (as Skyworks' subsidiary following the Mergers) and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, make other distributions, or repurchase or redeem capital stock; prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain debt; make loans and other investments; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; incur or permit to exist certain liens; enter into transactions with affiliates (including with Skyworks and our other subsidiaries); enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends; or consolidate, amalgamate, merge, or sell all or substantially all of their assets. To the extent these covenants remain in effect following the Mergers, they could restrict the Combined Company's operational and financial flexibility.

As a result of the indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with the Mergers, the Combined Company's leverage could have important consequences for our business, operating results, and financial condition, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • increasing the Combined Company's vulnerability to adverse changes in economic, regulatory, competitive, or industry conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reducing the Combined Company's ability to compete effectively or limiting our flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changes in the combined business and the broader industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • placing the Combined Company at a competitive disadvantage relative to peers with lower levels of indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • increasing the Combined Company's interest expense and potentially requiring the Combined Company to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operating needs, capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, or other corporate purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • limiting the Combined Company's ability to return capital to stockholders, including through stock repurchases or dividends; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • limiting the Combined Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future to support growth opportunities, acquisitions, working capital needs, capital expenditures, or other purposes.

 ***The market price of the Combined Company's common stock may be affected by factors different from those that are currently affecting or have historically affected the price of Skyworks or Qorvo Common Stock.***

Upon consummation of the Mergers, holders of Skyworks Common Stock and Qorvo Common Stock will be holders of Skyworks Common Stock. As the businesses of Skyworks and Qorvo are different, the results of operations as well as the price of the Combined Company's common stock may in the future be affected by factors different from those factors affecting Skyworks and Qorvo as independent stand-alone companies. The Combined Company will face additional risks and uncertainties that Skyworks or Qorvo may not currently be exposed to as independent companies.

#### Other Risk Factors of Skyworks and Qorvo
Skyworks' and Qorvo's businesses are and will be subject to the risks described above. In addition, Skyworks and Qorvo are, and will continue to be subject to the risks described in Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025 and March 29, 2025,

------

respectively, as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See "*Where You Can Find More Information*" for the location of information incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following descriptions are provided for general information, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.

***The Mergers****.* On October 27, 2025, Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, (a) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo continuing as the Surviving Corporation, and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the Surviving Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

The Skyworks Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance, and unanimously recommends that Skyworks stockholders vote **"FOR"** the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

The Qorvo board has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, and unanimously recommends that Qorvo stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

***Merger Consideration****.* For a description of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Mergers, see "*The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration Received by Qorvo Stockholders; Withholding Rights*" on page [165](#tMCRB).

***Treatment of Qorvo Equity Awards***. For a description of the treatment of Qorvo equity awards in connection with the Mergers, see "*The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Qorvo Equity Awards*" on page [167](#tTOQE3).

***Pro Forma Financial Statements***. The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations (the "Pro Forma Statement of Operations") for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025, combines the historical consolidated statements of income of Skyworks and Qorvo, after giving effect to the Mergers and other adjustments (as described in the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements) as if they occurred on September 28, 2024. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet" and together with the Pro Forma Statement of Operations, the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") as of October 3, 2025, combines the historical condensed consolidated statements of financial position of Skyworks and Qorvo, after giving effect to the Mergers and other adjustments as if they had occurred on October 3, 2025.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only, in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, to demonstrate the estimated effects of the Mergers and certain other related transactions and adjustments (collectively referred to as transaction accounting adjustments), such as (a) the alignment of Qorvo's statements of income and financial position amounts to Skyworks' presentation, (b) adjustments based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, (c) transaction and financing costs expected to be incurred by Skyworks, and (d) the associated income tax impacts of recognizing these adjustments. The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP with the expectation that Skyworks will be identified as the acquirer. The transaction accounting adjustments were prepared on the basis that such preliminary estimated adjustments will be incurred to achieve the Mergers, are pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses, and do not include adjustments to reflect any potential costs that may be incurred in connection with actions required by regulatory or governmental authorities for regulatory approvals and clearances of the Mergers, including divestitures or concessions; anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies; or potential post-Mergers costs, such as restructuring and integration charges.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on various adjustments and assumptions and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined statements of income or financial position would have actually been had the transaction accounting adjustments been consummated as of the dates indicated. Further, the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the Combined Company after the Mergers, which may differ materially and adversely from the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect transaction accounting adjustments that Skyworks believes are necessary to present fairly the Pro Forma Statement of Operations and Pro Forma Balance Sheet following the consummation of the Mergers as of and for the periods indicated. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions that Skyworks believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, directly attributable to the Mergers, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report the combined financial condition and results of operations as if Skyworks and Qorvo consummated the Mergers. The final acquisition accounting will be based upon the actual consideration and the fair value of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed of the party that is determined to be the acquiree under GAAP as of the date of the consummation of the Mergers. In addition, subsequent to the Closing Date, there will be further refinements of the acquisition accounting as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting may differ materially from the Pro Forma Financial Statements reflected in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the Pro Forma Financial Statements were based on and should be read in conjunction with the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, as included in Qorvo's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 27, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, as included in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Consolidated Financial Statements of Skyworks, as included in Skyworks' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025.

#### NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Transactions

On October 27, 2025, Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, (a) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo continuing as the Surviving Corporation, and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the Surviving Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

At the Effective Time, each share of Qorvo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for shares held by Skyworks or Qorvo, or their direct or indirect subsidiaries (other than, with respect to shares held by Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I, or Merger Sub II, shares held on behalf of third parties), will be converted automatically into the right to receive (i) 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest, and (ii) $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

2. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma financial statements were prepared on the basis that Skyworks, assuming receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals and completion of the Mergers, will account for the Mergers as a purchase of Qorvo using the acquisition method pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the assets and liabilities of Qorvo are recorded at their fair value at the effective time of the Mergers. In addition, the total consideration, measured at the market price at the Effective Time, is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value is defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. Once requisite regulatory approvals are received, Skyworks will consolidate Qorvo prospectively.

The transaction accounting adjustments to the pro forma financial statements are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of presenting the pro forma financial statements, which are necessary to comply with applicable disclosure and reporting requirements. The allocation of the estimated consideration is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs, and analyses. Since these pro forma financial statements were prepared based on preliminary estimates of consideration and fair values attributable to the purchase of Qorvo, the actual amounts eventually recorded for the purchase accounting, including the identifiable goodwill, may differ materially from the information presented.

The pro forma financial statements were prepared for inclusion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus which forms a part of the registration statement filed on this Form S-4 with respect to Skyworks Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers. The pro forma financial statements were prepared from and should be read in conjunction with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, as included in Qorvo's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 27, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, as included in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Consolidated Financial Statements of Skyworks, as included in Skyworks' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025.

The pro forma financial statements include adjustments necessary to be consistent with GAAP and in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11. The Pro Forma Statement of Operations gives effect to the Mergers as if they occurred on September 28, 2024. The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on October 3, 2025.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

The pro forma financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect any potential costs that may be incurred in connection with actions required by regulatory or governmental authorities for regulatory approvals and clearances of the Mergers, including divestitures or concessions; anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation, and operational efficiencies; or potential post-merger costs, such as restructuring and integration charges. Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

The pro forma financial statements are based on various adjustments and assumptions and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined statements of income or financial position would have actually been had the transaction accounting adjustments been completed as of the dates indicated. Further, the pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the combined company after the Mergers, which may differ materially and adversely from the pro forma financial statements.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

At this time, Skyworks is not aware of any differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the pro forma financial statements. The known differences in classifications were included in the transaction accounting adjustments described in notes 6 and 7 under the heading "Reclassification adjustments". Following the Mergers, Skyworks will conduct a review of Qorvo's accounting policies in an effort to determine if there are any material differences that require reclassification of Qorvo's revenues, expenses, assets, or liabilities to conform with Skyworks' accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, Skyworks may identify differences between the accounting policies and classifications of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma financial statements.

4. Estimate Of Consideration Expected To Be Transferred

The Mergers described in note 1 of these pro forma financial statements are anticipated to result in the following estimated merger consideration (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Consideration transferred [a]:** |  |  |
| Estimated cash consideration  | [b] | $3003 |
| Estimated fair value of Skyworks Common Stock to be issued  | [c] | 5602 |
|  Estimated fair value of assumed Qorvo equity awards attributable to pre-combination services  | [d] | 41 |
| Total estimated merger consideration  |  | $8646 |
| Total estimated cash consideration  |  | 3003 |
| Total estimated equity consideration  |  | 5643 |
| Total estimated merger consideration  |  | $8646 |

---

The following descriptions are provided for general information, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.

[a] The preliminary Merger Consideration does not purport to represent the actual value of the total consideration that will be received by Qorvo stockholders and employees after the Mergers are completed.

The value of the Skyworks Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers is estimated at $63.16 per share, which is the closing stock price on November 17, 2025, a date that was in reasonable proximity to the filing date of these pro forma financial statements. The final merger consideration will be based on the closing price of Skyworks Common Stock at the Effective Time.

The number of issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock was estimated at 92,396,921 based on the number of shares outstanding on October 27, 2025. The final Merger Consideration will be based on the actual Qorvo Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Mergers.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

An increase or decrease of 10% in the price of Skyworks Common Stock would cause an approximately $564 million increase or decrease in the estimated value of the total consideration, which would correspondingly increase or decrease the estimated value of goodwill.

[b] Each share of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding will also receive $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

[c] Each share of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding will receive 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest.

[d] At the Effective Time, each Qorvo RSU Award that is (A) vested but not yet settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (B) by its terms becomes vested in all respects as a result of the occurrence of the Closing or (C) is held by a non-employee member of the Qorvo Board as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Accelerated Qorvo RSUs"), shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive (1) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Qorvo Common Stock that was subject to such Accelerated Qorvo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (2) an amount in cash equal to all dividend equivalents, if any, accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time with respect to each such Accelerated Qorvo RSU (collectively, the "Accelerated RSU Consideration"). The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Accelerated Qorvo RSUs that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (i.e., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined) shall be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance (except that such number for each holder with an individual agreement (each, an "Individual Agreement") shall be determined by assuming achievement at the greater of (I) target performance and (II) actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee of the Qorvo Board).

At the Effective Time, each Qorvo RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Accelerated Qorvo RSUs, without any action on the part of Skyworks, Qorvo or the holder thereof, shall be assumed by Skyworks and converted automatically into and become a restricted stock unit award covering shares of Skyworks Common Stock (each, an "Adjusted RSU Award"), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Qorvo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as described herein and other than performance-based vesting conditions, which shall not apply following the Effective Time, with dividend equivalents continuing to accrue in respect of such Adjusted RSU Awards and with all accrued dividend equivalents (whether accrued prior to, at or after the Effective Time) paid at the time that such Adjusted RSU Award is settled), except that the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock subject to the Adjusted RSU Award as of the Effective Time will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to the corresponding Qorvo RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares in the resulting product rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Qorvo RSU Award that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, including any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents thereon (i.e., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined), shall be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance (except that such number for each holder with an Individual Agreement shall be determined by assuming achievement at the greater of (1) target performance and (2) actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee of the Qorvo Board). In the event of a termination of employment of any holder of an Adjusted RSU Award by Skyworks, the Surviving Company or one of their Affiliates without "cause" or by such holder with "good reason" (as defined in the applicable Qorvo Stock Plan or award agreement), in each case within the eighteen (18)-month period following the Closing Date, any such Adjusted RSU Award(s) held by such holder shall accelerate and vest in full. For the avoidance of doubt, any unpaid dividend equivalents accrued in respect of an Adjusted RSU Award shall be paid at such time as the Adjusted RSU Award vests and settles.

The portion of Qorvo equity awards attributable to pre-combination and post-combination service is estimated based on the ratio of the service period rendered as of October 27, 2025 to the total service period. The fair value of awards attributed to pre-combination service was recognized as a component of the purchase price. For the purpose of these pro forma financial statements, we assumed that all outstanding

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Qorvo RSU Awards and Qorvo PBRSU Awards on October 27, 2025, were outstanding at the effective time of the Mergers and each Qorvo PBRSU Award was converted to Skyworks stock unit awards based on the target level of performance.

Qorvo's outstanding equity awards, and certain of Skyworks' outstanding equity awards, include a provision for acceleration of vesting in certain circumstances involving termination in connection with a change in control. No adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as a result of this provision, as Skyworks cannot currently predict the nature and extent of any such events in connection with the Mergers.

5. Estimate Of Assets To Be Acquired And Liabilities To Be Assumed

Under the acquisition method of accounting, Qorvo's identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Skyworks will be recorded at the acquisition date fair values and added to those of Skyworks. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Transactions. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be completed as soon as practicable after the completion of the Transactions and will be based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in material changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and will change as a result of several factors, including the finalization of the fair value measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following is a preliminary estimate of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed by Skyworks at the effective time of the Mergers, reconciled to the preliminary Merger Consideration (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | | **Estimated <br> fair value**  |
| Cash and cash equivalents  |  | $1103 |
| Receivables, net of allowances  |  | 543 |
| Inventory  | [a] | 861 |
| Other current assets  |  | 126 |
| Property, plant, and equipment, net  | [b] | 781 |
| Intangible assets, net  | [c] | 3643 |
| Marketable securities  |  | 17 |
| Other long-term assets  | [a] | 189 |
| Accounts payable and other current liabilities  |  | (805) |
| Long-term debt  | [a] | (1475) |
| Other long-term liabilities  | [a] | (807) |
| Total identifiable net assets  |  | $4176 |
| Estimated purchase price  |  | 8646 |
| Estimated goodwill  | [d] | $4470 |

[a]

Balances represent the estimated fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates are based on a preliminary valuation performed as of October 3, 2025, and are subject to further review by management. See Note 7 below for a further explanation of the assumptions related to the fair value estimates made.

*Property, plant, and equipment, net —* The carrying value of Qorvo's property and equipment was used in the preliminary purchase price allocation, and no adjustments were made to the unaudited

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. Adjustments may be required when additional information is obtained and a more detailed review is performed over the fair value of property and equipment. The actual amounts recorded when the Mergers are completed may differ materially from the current book value of property and equipment.

[c]

*Intangible Assets —* Estimated fair value as of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet date was comprised of (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Intangible Asset**  | **Estimated <br> Useful Life**  | **Approximate <br> Fair Value**  |
| Technology based intangibles  | 8 | $2093 |
| Customer-based intangibles  | 10 | 1550 |
| Total  |  | $3643 |

---

[d]

*Estimated Goodwill —* Represents the excess of the preliminary estimated Merger Consideration over the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be reviewed for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce of Qorvo, planned growth in new markets, and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of Skyworks and Qorvo. Goodwill recognized in the Mergers is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

6. Pro Forma Statement Of Operations Accounting Adjustments

[a]

*Reclassification adjustments —* Certain reclassification transaction accounting adjustments were made to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations to make the presentation conform to the presentation adopted by Skyworks.

[1]

Revised the presentation of Qorvo's marketing and selling expense in the amount of $229 million to selling, general, and administrative for the twelve months ended September 27, 2025.

[2]

Revised the presentation of Qorvo's general and administrative expense in the amount of $167 million to selling, general, and administrative for the twelve months ended September 27, 2025.

[3]

Revised the presentation of Qorvo's other operating expense in the amount of $105 million to restructuring and other charges for the twelve months ended September 27, 2025.

[b]

*Retention cash bonuses —* Related to the Mergers, each of Qorvo and Skyworks has established retention cash bonus programs for its respective employees. While the Skyworks retention program includes that grants to certain individuals, if any, will be in the form of equity, certain details of the plans have yet to be determined, and the entire program is assumed to be cash awards for purposes of the pro forma financial statements. For the purposes of the Pro Forma Statement of Operations, the compensation and benefits expense reflects the maximum amount payable under the retention cash bonus programs and was assumed to be amortized completely in 2025.

[c]

*Merger costs —* Reflects the total estimated transaction costs for Skyworks that have not yet been recognized in the statement of operations for the year ended October 3, 2025. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred and reflected as if incurred on September 28, 2024, the date the Transactions are assumed to have been completed for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

[d]

*Interest expense —* For the purposes of these pro forma financial statements, we assume the entire cash consideration will be funded through new debt; however, we expect cash consideration will be funded through a combination of new debt and cash accumulated through cash provided by operating activities. The Pro Forma Statement of Operations assumes that Skyworks funded the entire cash consideration through the issuance of new debt as of September 28, 2024, a reasonable interest rate of 5%, and issuance costs of $22 million that will be amortized over an assumed life of 10 years.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

A hypothetical increase or decrease of 0.125% in the assumed interest rate would result in a $4 million increase or decrease in the estimated annual interest expense.

If $1 billion of cash is accumulated before the Effective Time and the amount of debt used to cover the cash consideration is correspondingly reduced, assuming an interest rate of 5%, the estimated annual interest expense would decrease $50 million.

[e]

*Amortization expense —* Represents the adjustment to record elimination of historical amortization expense and recognition of new amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets based on the estimated fair value. Amortization expense is calculated based on the estimated fair value of each of the identifiable intangible assets and the associated estimated useful lives as discussed in Note 7(c) below, and is allocated between amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets — cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expense based on the nature of activities associated with the intangible assets acquired.

[f]

*Provision for income taxes —* The estimated transaction accounting adjustments to income tax benefit relates primarily due to the decrease in income before income taxes in the statement of operations for the year ended October 3, 2025, and the corresponding income tax benefit is recognized for the respective period presented. A blended statutory tax rate of approximately 15% is assumed for the amortization of intangible assets, and a blended statutory tax rate of approximately 18% is assumed for all other pro forma adjustments. The applicable blended statutory tax rates are based on the jurisdictions in which the assets are located and are not necessarily indicative of the effective tax rate of Skyworks following the transactions, which could be significantly different depending on post-acquisition activities, including the geographical mix of income.

[g]

*Anticipated benefits and transaction related charges —* The pro forma financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect any potential costs that may be incurred in connection with actions required by regulatory or governmental authorities for regulatory approvals and clearances of the Mergers, including divestitures or concessions; anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation, and operational efficiencies; or potential post-transaction costs, such as restructuring and integration charges.

[h]

*Amortization of inventory step-up —* Based on estimated inventory turnover, the inventory step-up fair value adjustment was assumed to be amortized completely in 2025.

7. Pro Forma Balance Sheet Accounting Adjustments

[a]

*Reclassification adjustments —* Certain reclassification transaction accounting adjustments were made to the pro forma balance sheet to make the presentation conform to the presentation adopted by Skyworks.

[b]

*Goodwill —* Represents the adjustment to eliminate Qorvo's historical goodwill balance and estimate the goodwill value acquired in the transaction based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, as further described in Note 5.

[c]

*Intangible assets, net —* Represents the adjustments to eliminate Qorvo's historical net intangible assets carrying value and estimate the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Transactions. Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are provided in the table above. The amortization related to these identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a transaction adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, as further described in Note 5. The identifiable intangible assets and related amortization are preliminary and are based on management's estimates after consideration of similar transactions.

[d]

*Historical shareholders' equity —* The historical shareholder's equity of Qorvo will be eliminated as part of the Mergers.

[e]

*Merger costs —* A transaction accounting adjustment was made for the estimated $112 million in merger costs to be incurred by Skyworks. The adjustment was assumed to be recorded in accounts payable as of October 3, 2025.

[f]

*Debt —* For the purposes of these pro forma financial statements, we assume the entire cash consideration will be funded through new debt of $3,003 million; however, we expect cash consideration will be funded through a combination of new debt and cash accumulated through cash provided by operating activities. The financing transaction adjustment, which includes issuance and liability management costs of $22 million assumed to be paid in cash, was assumed to be recorded on October 3, 2025, for this pro forma balance sheet.

[g]

*Debt —* Represents the net adjustment to the estimated fair value of Qorvo's senior notes assumed in connection with the transactions.

[h]

*Retention cash bonuses —* Related to the Mergers, each of Skyworks and Qorvo has established retention cash bonus programs for its respective employees. While the Skyworks retention program includes that grants to certain individuals, if any, will be in the form of equity, certain details of the plans have yet to be determined, and the entire program is assumed to be cash awards for purposes of the pro forma financial statements. Awards under Skyworks' program vest 50% at closing and 50% six months thereafter, and awards under Qorvo's program vest 60% at closing and 40% six months thereafter. For the purposes of this pro forma balance sheet, the accrued compensation and benefits reflects the maximum amount payable under the retention bonus programs.

[i]

*Consideration —* Represents the total Merger Consideration of $8,646 million, consisting of (i) cash consideration of $3,003 million, (ii) issuance of approximately 88,000,000 shares of Skyworks Common Stock with an estimated fair value of $5,602 million, and (iii) issuance of approximately 642,000 Skyworks restricted stock unit awards with an estimated fair value of $41 million attributable to pre-combination services. The calculation of preliminary Merger Consideration is based on 92,396,921 shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding as of October 27, 2025.

[j]

*Deferred compensation —* Qorvo has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that requires a lump-sum payout upon change in control at the election of the eligible employees and members of the Qorvo's board. The *Transaction Accounting* adjustment of $19 million relates to the portion of deferred compensation obligation that is being paid out as a result of the change in control.

[k]

*Inventory —* Raw material inventory is measured at fair value (current replacement cost), which is estimated to be the current carrying value. Work-in-process inventory is estimated at the fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs to complete the manufacturing process,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) costs of selling effort, and (c) a reasonable profit margin for the completion of the manufacturing process and selling effort. Finished goods inventory is estimated at the fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of selling effort, and (b) a reasonable profit margin for the selling effort.

[l]

*Deferred income taxes —* Represent the adjustment to the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liability balance associated with the incremental differences in the book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily resulting from the preliminary fair value of intangible assets. Deferred taxes are established based on a blended statutory tax rate based on jurisdiction where income is generated. The effective tax rate of Skyworks following the transactions could be significantly different (even higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including the geographical mix of income. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the closing date fair value, primarily of the identifiable intangible assets.

8. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

The combined basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented are based on the combined weighted average basic and diluted common stock of Skyworks and Qorvo. As of the beginning of the periods presented, the historical weighted average basic and diluted shares of Qorvo were assumed to be replaced by the common stock issued and share settlement of stock-based compensation by Skyworks at the effective time of the Mergers as discussed in note 4. The number of issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock was estimated at 92,396,921 based on the number of shares outstanding on October 27, 2025. Each share of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding will receive 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, yielding a pro forma adjustment of approximately 88,701,044 shares of basic and diluted earnings per share.

The list of factors presented here is considered representative, and no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

Since the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal are each non-routine proposals, there will not be any "broker non-votes" at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Failure of a quorum at the Skyworks Special Meeting may result in an adjournment of the Skyworks Special Meeting and may subject Skyworks to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires the vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. **Skyworks cannot consummate the Skyworks Stock Issuance or the Mergers unless the Stock Issuance Proposal is approved at the Skyworks Special Meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof)**. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the Stock Issuance Proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast "**AGAINST**" the Stock Issuance Proposal. The failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, or any other failure of a Skyworks stockholder to vote (assuming a quorum is present), will have no effect on the outcome of the Stock Issuance Proposal because these failures to vote are not considered present at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present at the Skyworks Special Meeting, then the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal have the power to adjourn. Under this standard, assuming a quorum is not present, then shares present in person or by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Skyworks stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

In order to vote your shares through the internet or by telephone, you will need the sixteen (16)-digit control number included on your enclosed proxy card (which is unique to each Skyworks stockholder to ensure all voting instructions are genuine and to prevent duplicate voting). You may vote through the internet or by telephone, twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week prior to the Skyworks Special Meeting. If you choose to submit your proxy through the internet or by telephone, your proxy must be received by 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time on February 10, 2026 in order to be counted at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If you hold your shares of Skyworks Common Stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, you may provide voting instructions through the internet or by telephone only if internet or telephone voting is made available by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder with these materials.

#### TO VOTE BY MAIL
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If you hold shares of Skyworks Common Stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating your enclosed proxy card and returning it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope no later than the close of business on February 10, 2026 in order for your vote to be counted at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If you hold your shares of Skyworks Common Stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, you may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder and returning it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder must receive your voting instruction form in sufficient time to vote your shares at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

#### BY PARTICIPANTS IN SKYWORKS' 401(K) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If you are a participant in the Skyworks 401(k) Plan, you will receive an instruction card for the shares of Skyworks Common Stock you own through the Skyworks 401(k) Plan. That instruction card will serve as a voting instruction card for the trustee of the Skyworks 401(k) Plan, and your shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be voted as you instruct.

#### Revoking Your Vote
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted at the Skyworks Special Meeting. Proxies may be revoked by (a) delivering to the Secretary of Skyworks, before the taking of the vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy, (b) duly completing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to the Secretary of Skyworks before the taking of the vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(c) attending the Skyworks Special Meeting online and voting (although virtual attendance at the Skyworks Special Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy). Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be delivered to Skyworks' executive offices at Skyworks Solutions, Inc., 5260 California Avenue, Irvine, CA 92617, Attention: Secretary, before the taking of the vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting. If you vote your shares through the internet prior to the Skyworks Special Meeting, only your latest internet vote submitted prior to the Skyworks Special Meeting will be counted at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

#### Generally
If you hold your shares of Skyworks Common Stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, you must instruct your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder on how to vote your shares. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will vote your shares of Skyworks Common Stock only if you provide instructions on how to vote by filling out the voting instruction form sent to you by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Bank, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders who hold shares of Skyworks Common Stock in "street name" typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. However, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders typically are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion on matters that are "non-routine" without specific instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. The Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal are non-routine. Therefore, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders do not have discretionary authority to vote on the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

A broker non-vote with respect to Skyworks Common Stock occurs when (a) a share of Skyworks Common Stock held by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder is present, in person or represented by proxy, at a meeting of Skyworks stockholders, (b) the beneficial owner of that share has not instructed his, her or its bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder on how to vote on a particular proposal and (c) the bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder does not have discretionary voting power on such proposal. Banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders do not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the Stock Issuance Proposal or the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal; therefore, if a beneficial owner of shares of Skyworks Common Stock held in "street name" does not give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, then those shares of Skyworks Common Stock will not be present in person or represented by proxy at the Skyworks Special Meeting. As a result, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

All shares of Skyworks Common Stock that are entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting and are represented by properly completed and valid proxy received by the deadlines set forth above and not revoked will be voted at the Skyworks Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxy. If a Skyworks stockholder signs the enclosed proxy card and returns it without giving instructions for voting on any proposal, the shares of Skyworks Common Stock represented by that proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

 **Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock you own. Please complete, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed proxy card today or authorize a proxy to vote through the internet or by phone.** 

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers
As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Skyworks' directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate 324,821 shares of Skyworks Common Stock entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting, which represents less than 1% of the shares of Skyworks Common Stock entitled to vote at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

Each of Skyworks' directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his, or her shares of Skyworks Common Stock "**FOR**" the Stock Issuance Proposal and

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, although none of Skyworks' directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

#### Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses of Solicitation
The Skyworks Board is soliciting proxies with respect to the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, and Skyworks will bear the costs and expenses of that solicitation, including the costs of filing, printing, and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to applicable holders of shares of Skyworks Common Stock. Skyworks has engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Skyworks Special Meeting, and Skyworks has agreed to pay them an estimated fee of $25,000, plus their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

In addition to the mailing of the notices and proxy materials, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone and electronic communication by the directors, officers and employees of Skyworks acting without special compensation. Skyworks also makes arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the street name holders of shares held of record by such individuals, and Skyworks will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with such solicitation.

#### THE QORVO SPECIAL MEETING
Qorvo is furnishing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Qorvo Special Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) that Qorvo has called to consider and vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

#### Date, Time, Place and Purpose of the Qorvo Special Meeting
Together with this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Qorvo is also sending Qorvo stockholders a notice of the Qorvo Special Meeting and a form of proxy card that is solicited by the Qorvo Board for use at the Qorvo Special Meeting to be held virtually at 11:30 AM, Pacific Time, on February 11, 2026 (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date), via live audio webcast at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/QRVO2026SM*. The Qorvo Special Meeting will be held exclusively online via live audio webcast.

Qorvo is holding the Qorvo Special Meeting for the following purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to consider and vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to consider and vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to consider and vote on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

Qorvo will transact no other business at the Qorvo Special Meeting, except for business properly brought before the Qorvo Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof by or at the direction of the Qorvo Board.

#### Recommendation of the Qorvo Board
After careful consideration, at a meeting duly called and held on October 27, 2025, the Qorvo Board duly and unanimously adopted resolutions: (a) approving the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (b) determining that the terms of the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of Qorvo and its stockholders, (c) recommending that the holders of Qorvo Common Stock adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Transactions and directing that the Merger Agreement be submitted for adoption by Qorvo's stockholders at a Qorvo special meeting, and (d) declaring that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are advisable. The Qorvo Board unanimously recommends that Qorvo stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. For a summary of the factors considered by the Qorvo Board in reaching its decision to approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, see "*The Mergers — Qorvo's Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Qorvo Board of Directors*."

#### Qorvo Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Qorvo Record Date is December 23, 2025. Only holders of record of Qorvo Common Stock as of the close of business on the Qorvo Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Qorvo Special Meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Qorvo Special Meeting. At the Qorvo Special Meeting, each Qorvo stockholder entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting is entitled to one (1) vote per share of Qorvo Common Stock held by such stockholder. As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there were 92,653,400 issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock, and the issued and outstanding Qorvo Common Stock was held by approximately 591 stockholders of record.

#### Quorum
The Qorvo bylaws require that there be a quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting in order for Qorvo to hold a vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal or the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal. A quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting is the presence, in person, or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the Qorvo Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares that are present at the Qorvo Special Meeting but that abstain from voting on any

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

proposal will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Shares of Qorvo Common Stock held in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, and otherwise fails to cause to be voted or represented at the Qorvo Special Meeting, will not be deemed present at the Qorvo Special Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Failure of a quorum at the Qorvo Special Meeting may result in an adjournment of the Qorvo Special Meeting. If a quorum is initially present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal is required to consummate the Transactions. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the Merger Agreement Proposal, the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, or any other failure of a Qorvo stockholder to cause his, her or its shares to be voted in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Merger Agreement Proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting (meaning the number of votes cast "**FOR**" this proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "**AGAINST**"). As a result, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting, the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, or any other failure of a Qorvo stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting. As a result, assuming a quorum is present, shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder (assuming quorum is met) will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present at the Qorvo Special Meeting, then the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present or represented by proxy, have the power to adjourn. Under this standard, assuming a quorum is not present, then shares present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting, but abstaining from voting on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, while the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder will have no effect on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

#### Voting Rights; Proxies; Revocation
Qorvo stockholders may vote their shares at the Qorvo Special Meeting in person or by proxy.

#### Voting at the Special Meeting
The Qorvo Special Meeting is being held solely by means of remote communication, and stockholders may not physically attend the meeting.

#### Revoking Your Vote

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • giving written notice of revocation to Qorvo's Corporate Secretary at Qorvo, Inc., 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, North Carolina 27409, which must be received before the time that the proxy you wish to revoke is voted at the Qorvo Special Meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • submitting new voting instructions over the telephone or the internet by 8:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on February 10, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • delivering a new, validly completed, later-dated proxy card by mail that is received no later than the close of business on February 10, 2026; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • joining the Qorvo Special Meeting and voting virtually during the Qorvo Special Meeting.

If you hold your shares of Qorvo Common Stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, you must contact your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to change your vote or obtain a written legal proxy to vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock if you wish to cast your vote in person at the Qorvo Special Meeting.

#### Generally
If your shares of Qorvo Common Stock are held in "street name" in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, you must provide the record holder of your shares of Qorvo Common Stock with instructions on how to vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder. Please note that you may not vote shares of Qorvo Common Stock held in street name by returning a proxy card or voting instruction form directly to Qorvo. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction form for you to use.

Under the applicable stock exchange rules, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders who hold shares in "street name" for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that such stock exchanges determines to be "non-routine." Generally, a broker non-vote occurs with respect to a proposal when (a) a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder has discretionary authority to vote on one or more "routine" proposals to be voted on at a meeting of stockholders, but is not permitted to vote on other "non-routine" proposals without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (b) the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder with such instructions. Under the applicable stock exchange rules, "non-routine" matters include the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. Because none of the proposals to be voted on at the Qorvo Special Meeting are routine matters for which banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders may have discretionary authority to vote, Qorvo does not expect any broker non-votes at the Qorvo Special Meeting. As a result, if you hold your shares of Qorvo Common Stock in "street name," your shares of Qorvo Common Stock will not be represented at the Qorvo Special Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and will not be voted on any matter at the Qorvo Special Meeting unless you affirmatively instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock in one of the ways indicated by your banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders. It is therefore critical that you cast your vote by instructing your banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders on how to vote prior to the Qorvo Special Meeting. **The applicable stock exchange rules governing brokers' discretionary authority will not permit banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders to exercise discretionary authority regarding any of the proposals to be voted on at the Qorvo Special Meeting, and the impact of the failure of a Qorvo stockholder who holds his, her or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, is set out above**.

All shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting and are represented by properly completed and valid proxies received by the deadlines set forth above and not revoked will be voted at the Qorvo Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxy. If a Qorvo stockholder signs the enclosed proxy card and returns it without giving instructions for

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

voting on any proposal, the shares of Qorvo Common Stock represented by that proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

 **Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock you own. Please complete, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed proxy card today or authorize a proxy to vote through the internet or by phone. If you hold shares beneficially, promptly contact your bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to instruct such person or entity on how to vote your shares of Qorvo Common Stock at the meeting.** 

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers
As of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Qorvo's directors (excluding Peter A. Feld) and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate 822,841 shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting, which represents less than 1% of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting. Qorvo's director Peter A. Feld and his affiliates (including Starboard Value LP) beneficially owned in the aggregate 7,514,022 shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting, which represents approximately 8% of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to vote at the Qorvo Special Meeting.

Each of Qorvo's directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his or her shares of Qorvo Common Stock "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, although none of Qorvo's directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so. Certain stockholders affiliated with SBV, an affiliate of Peter Feld, a member of the Qorvo Board so designated by SBV, have agreed to vote their shares of Qorvo Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal. As of December 15, 2025, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, such stockholders collectively held approximately 8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock. For more information, see "— The Voting and Support Agreement."

#### Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses of Solicitation
The Qorvo Board is soliciting proxies with respect to the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, and Qorvo will bear the costs and expenses of that solicitation. Qorvo has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Qorvo Special Meeting, and Qorvo has agreed to pay them an estimated fee of up to $112,500 plus their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of Qorvo or its subsidiaries may solicit proxies from Qorvo stockholders by telephone, telegram, email, personal interview or other means. Qorvo currently expects not to incur any costs beyond those customarily expended for a solicitation of proxies in connection with approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal. Directors, officers and employees of Qorvo will not receive additional compensation for their solicitation activities, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the solicitation. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, fiduciaries, custodians and other nominees have been requested to forward proxy solicitation materials to their customers, and such nominees will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

#### THE MERGERS
 *The following discussion contains certain information about the Mergers. The discussion is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the Merger Agreement attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein by reference. We urge you to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the Merger Agreement attached as Annex A, for a more complete understanding of the Mergers.* 

#### Terms of the Mergers
The Skyworks Board and the Qorvo Board have each unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto will consummate the Mergers. At the Effective Time, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks. Immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the Surviving Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

At the Effective Time, each share of Qorvo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held (a) directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or (c) directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Subject to the above exceptions, each holder of shares of Qorvo Common Stock will be entitled to receive as Merger Consideration for each share of Qorvo Common Stock held by such holder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii)

$32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

No fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and Qorvo stockholders will be entitled to receive cash, without interest, in lieu of any fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock to which they otherwise would have been entitled. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent (as defined below) shall determine the excess of (a) the number of full shares of Skyworks Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Skyworks over (b) the aggregate number of full shares of Skyworks Common Stock to be distributed to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (such excess being herein referred to as the "Excess Shares"). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on Nasdaq in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of shares of Qorvo Common Stock will be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder is entitled (after taking into account all certificates and book-entry shares then held by such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders are entitled. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders.

As a result of the foregoing, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Skyworks and Qorvo outstanding as of December 15, 2025, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, it is expected that Skyworks stockholders will own approximately 63%, and Qorvo stockholders will own approximately 37%, of the fully diluted shares of the Combined Company immediately after the Mergers.

Skyworks stockholders are being asked to, among other things, approve the issuance of Skyworks Common Stock in connection with the Mergers and Qorvo stockholders are being asked to, among other things, adopt the Merger Agreement. See "*The Merger Agreement*" for additional and more detailed information regarding the legal documents that govern the Mergers, including information about conditions to the consummation of the Mergers and provisions for terminating or amending the Merger Agreement.

#### Background of the Mergers
Each of the Skyworks Board and management and the Qorvo Board and management regularly review and assess, respectively, Skyworks' and Qorvo's performance, strategy, financial position, opportunities and risks in light of business and economic conditions, as well as developments in their respective industries and the regulatory environment, and across a range of scenarios and potential future industry developments. These regular reviews have, at the direction of the respective boards, included evaluation of their current business plans and the potential risks and benefits of maintaining the status quo and continuing to execute on their respective standalone plans, as well as a range of strategic and operating alternatives. Skyworks and Qorvo had occasionally engaged in discussions concerning a potential business combination at various points in the past, the most recent of which, before discussions re-commenced in March 2025, had taken place in 2021, which discussions did not result in a price proposal by either party or progress to due diligence or substantive negotiations of a merger agreement at that time.

In February 2025, Skyworks appointed Philip Brace as President and Chief Executive Officer. In February 2025, Skyworks began engaging with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP ("Skadden") as legal advisors with respect to a potential transaction with Qorvo.

In February 2025, Qorvo engaged Centerview to provide financial advisory services to Qorvo in connection with certain strategic matters, including with respect to a potential transaction with Skyworks. The Qorvo Board engaged Centerview as Qorvo's financial advisor based on Centerview's qualifications, reputation, experience and familiarity with Qorvo and the Qorvo Board's determination that Centerview lacked any conflicts with Skyworks.

On March 10, 2025, Robert Bruggeworth, the Chief Executive Officer of Qorvo, reached out to Mr. Brace to ask that the two arrange a meeting, and the two agreed to meet on April 2, 2025.

In March 2025, Skyworks began engaging with Qatalyst Partners as potential financial advisors with respect to a potential transaction with Qorvo.

On April 2, 2025, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth met in Washington, D.C., to discuss, at a high level and with the authorization of their respective boards of directors, a potential combination transaction between the parties, including the strategic rationale for a combination, as well as their respective businesses, SBV's position in Qorvo and next steps.

On April 8, 2025, Skyworks and Qorvo executed a confidentiality agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement") in order to facilitate the exchange of non-public information by both parties so that they could further explore whether a potential transaction would be in the best interests of both companies and their respective stockholders. Among other things, the Confidentiality Agreement contained customary mutual 12-month standstill and non-solicitation provisions.

On April 10, 2025, Skyworks and Qorvo entered into a customary Joint Defense Agreement in furtherance of discussing, among other things, the regulatory considerations and approach in connection with a potential transaction between the parties.

On April 12, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting to discuss, among other things, a potential combination between Qorvo and Skyworks. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP ("Davis Polk"), Qorvo's long-term outside legal counsel, were also present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. A representative of Davis Polk reviewed with the Qorvo Board members their fiduciary duties under Delaware law. At such meeting, the Qorvo Board authorized management to continue to explore and analyze a potential combination with Skyworks.

On April 14 and 15, 2025, Mr. Brace, Kris Sennesael, then Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Skyworks, Reza Kasnavi, Executive Vice President, Chief Operations and Technology Officer of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Skyworks, Mr. Bruggeworth, Grant Brown, Chief Financial Officer of Qorvo, and Paul Fego, Senior Vice President of Global Operations of Qorvo, met in Dallas, Texas, to discuss, at a high level, the potential for value creation and guiding principles in considering a potential combination transaction. Among other things, the parties discussed the potential for significant synergy creation, that an all-stock transaction would allow both parties' stockholders to participate in the potential "upside" of a transaction and that, in view of such upside potential, Mr. Brace would not expect a significant premium to be paid to Qorvo stockholders in a transaction and believed that regulatory risk would need to be shared between the parties.

On April 16, 21 and 24, 2025, representatives of each of Skadden and Davis Polk, and on April 24, 2025, representatives of each of Skadden, Skyworks, Davis Polk and Qorvo, discussed certain regulatory considerations and potential approaches in connection with a potential transaction between Skyworks and Qorvo. From this date through the execution of the merger agreement, representatives of Skadden and Davis Polk, and at times with representatives of Skyworks and Qorvo, met regularly to further discuss these topics.

On May 5, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with members of management, as well as representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, to review Skyworks' preliminary long-term financial plan, which was intended to serve as a baseline for the Skyworks Board to begin to think about the potential combination transaction with Qorvo. After discussion, it was agreed that the Skyworks Board should receive additional analysis of various potential case scenarios.

On May 6, 2025, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth discussed the coming departure of Mr. Sennesael, as well as overall process and timing for a potential transaction between the parties.

On May 13 and 14, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with members of management, and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden attending on May 14, 2025. Among other things, the Skyworks Board discussed certain public equity market trends and the current environment for strategic transactions, as well as a preliminary financial analysis of Qorvo and various preliminary pro forma models, in each case based on publicly available data. The Skyworks Board also discussed the significant potential synergies that a strategic transaction with Qorvo could bring, as well as, on a preliminary basis, various potential exchange ratios for an all-stock transaction. The Skyworks Board also discussed certain regulatory considerations in respect of a transaction with Qorvo as well as potential operational restrictions that Skyworks would likely face during the pendency of a transaction with Qorvo by virtue of restrictive covenants in any definitive agreement, and reviewed directors' fiduciary duties that would govern the Skyworks Board's conduct in considering any transaction with Qorvo. The Skyworks Board also discussed whether to form a transaction committee of the board to oversee the exploration of a potential transaction with Qorvo, and determined to consider, at its next meeting, authorizing management to proceed with exploring such a transaction and potentially submitting a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest to Qorvo.

On May 16, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a regularly scheduled board meeting in person in Hillsboro, Oregon. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. Representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analyses of a potential combination with Skyworks, based on publicly available information and consensus estimates. A representative of Davis Polk reviewed with the Qorvo Board members their fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Among other topics, the Qorvo Board discussed a potential combination with Skyworks, including the need for a governance structure in any potential combination to facilitate the unlocking of synergies. The Qorvo Board instructed Mr. Bruggeworth to continue his discussions with Mr. Brace. The Qorvo Board also authorized Centerview to discuss with Qatalyst Partners any potential combination proposals Qorvo might receive from Skyworks.

Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth continued to remain in contact, each as authorized by his respective board of directors, regarding a potential transaction. Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth had discussions on May 14, 17, 18 and 19, 2025, to discuss, among other things, process and timing for evaluating a potential transaction. The CEOs also discussed the recent position in Qorvo that SBV had acquired, and Qorvo's intention to nominate Peter Feld, Managing Member, Portfolio Manager and Head of Research of SBV, to its board at its upcoming annual meeting as a result.

On May 23, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with members of management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which, among other things, the Skyworks Board reviewed an updated financial plan, which the Skyworks Board determined would form a reasonable basis to formulate a combination proposal to Qorvo. The Skyworks Board discussed with representatives of Qatalyst Partners certain financial aspects of a potential transaction with Qorvo, and discussed a preliminary transaction proposal that management recommended be submitted to Qorvo. The Skyworks Board also discussed the significant synergies that it expected could result from such a transaction, and the potential value creation for Skyworks stockholders, and, after discussion, the Skyworks Board determined to authorize management to submit the proposal to Qorvo based upon the terms outlined and presented in the meeting.

On May 24, 2025, Mr. Brace, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, delivered Skyworks' initial proposal for a combination transaction to Mr. Bruggeworth in the form of a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest (the "May 24 Proposal"), which conveyed Skyworks' view of the strategic and financial rationale for a transaction, including the potential for meaningful synergies and material value creation for each company's stockholders. The May 24 Proposal provided for a transaction pursuant to which Qorvo stockholders would receive 1.175 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 9% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies' stock, calculated using closing prices on May 23, 2025. Prior to delivering the May 24 Proposal, Mr. Brace contacted Mr. Bruggeworth on such date to preview the terms that the Skyworks Board was proposing.

On May 25, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board at its last board meeting, representatives of Centerview contacted representatives of Qatalyst Partners to discuss the May 24 Proposal. The representatives of Centerview noted that the May 24 Proposal contained no proposal as to governance of the combined company.

On May 26, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth contacted Mr. Brace to discuss the May 24 Proposal. Mr. Bruggeworth similarly inquired about the lack of governance-related terms in the May 24 Proposal, noting, in particular, that there was no mention of the combined company headquarters, name, board composition or designation of the chief executive officer. Mr. Bruggeworth also conveyed his view that the approximately 9% premium implied by Skyworks' proposal would likely not be acceptable to the Qorvo Board for a transaction not structured as a merger of equals, and that a governance structure reflecting the significant percentage of stock in the combined company held by each company's stockholders would be an important component in such a transaction.

On May 27, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with members of management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which, among other things, the directors discussed Mr. Brace's conversation with Mr. Bruggeworth, and the recent conversation between representatives of Qatalyst Partners and Centerview. The Skyworks Board again discussed the potential formation of a transaction committee to provide additional, active oversight of the potential transaction.

On May 28, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting to discuss the May 24 Proposal. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. The representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the May 24 Proposal. A representative of Davis Polk reviewed with the Qorvo Board members their fiduciary duties under Delaware law. The Qorvo Board discussed the May 24 Proposal, including with respect to governance of the combined company, on which the May 24 Proposal was silent. The Qorvo Board directed management and the advisors present to continue discussions with Skyworks and its representatives.

On May 29, 2025, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth again discussed the May 24 Proposal. Mr. Bruggeworth conveyed the Qorvo Board's position that it could not respond to the proposed exchange ratio without understanding Skyworks' proposal on governance-related matters, and proposed that the two meet in person to discuss such points. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners later conveyed to representatives of Centerview that the Skyworks Board expected Qorvo to provide a responsive proposal on the exchange ratio before such a meeting would take place.

On May 30, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with members of management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, to discuss the current status of discussions with Qorvo. At such meeting, the Skyworks Board formally approved the formation of a transaction committee (the "Transaction

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Committee"), consisting of directors Robert Schriesheim, Maryann Turcke and Kevin Beebe, with Mr. Schriesheim acting as chairman. The decision to form the Transaction Committee was not the result of any actual or potential conflict of interest of any member of the Skyworks Board with respect to a potential transaction with Qorvo.

On May 31, 2025, representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners discussed the Qorvo Board's current thinking with respect to a responsive proposal. As part of this discussion, the representatives of Centerview conveyed the Qorvo Board's request that the parties prepare to exchange certain high-level financial forecasts, which the representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners further discussed on June 2, 2025.

On June 3, 2025, Skyworks and Qorvo exchanged such limited financial forecasts through FY 2027 (which forecasts were subsequently updated and revised, as described below).

On June 4, 2025, representatives of each of Skyworks, including Mr. Brace and Mr. Schriesheim (who had been appointed interim Chief Financial Officer of Skyworks on May 29, 2025), Qorvo, including Mr. Bruggeworth and Mr. Brown, Qatalyst Partners and Centerview held a meeting to discuss each party's financial forecasts, including the key assumptions underlying each forecast.

On June 5, 2025, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth spoke again about the Qorvo Board's desire to understand the proposed governance structure of a combined company.

On June 6, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden. Among other things, the Transaction Committee discussed the review of each party's financial forecasts and the key assumptions underlying such forecasts, as well as how to consider Qorvo's model as a result of such assumptions when determining pricing terms for a transaction and the Qorvo Board's focus on governance matters in considering the May 24 Proposal. The Transaction Committee discussed that it would want to see a response from Qorvo on the exchange ratio that had been proposed before proposing governance-related terms. The Transaction Committee also noted its consensus view that Mr. Brace would be CEO of the combined company and discussed possible approaches to board representation. The same day, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth discussed next steps, as well as the Skyworks Board's focus on the strategic rationale for a transaction and the significant synergies that it believed could be achieved by such a combination.

On June 8, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview contacted representatives of Qatalyst Partners to discuss, among other things, next steps for setting up a discussion between each party's board of directors regarding a potential transaction, and certain preliminary financial analyses in respect of the May 24 Proposal.

Also on June 8, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. At the meeting, representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the May 24 Proposal. A representative of Davis Polk reviewed with the Qorvo Board members their fiduciary duties under Delaware law. The Qorvo Board discussed a counterproposal to the May 24 Proposal, and authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to send such counterproposal to Mr. Brace.

On June 9, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth called Mr. Brace to preview, and thereafter delivered on behalf of the Qorvo Board, Qorvo's counterproposal for a combination transaction to Mr. Brace, in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "June 9 Counterproposal"). The June 9 Counterproposal contemplated (i) the formation of an ad hoc working group, comprised of three directors from each of Qorvo and Skyworks, to select either Mr. Brace or Mr. Bruggeworth to continue as the chief executive officer of the combined company, with the company whose chief executive officer was not selected having the right to designate the chairman or executive chairman of the combined company, (ii) that Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth would work together to select the best candidates for other executive roles of the combined company, and (iii) that the combined company's board of directors would be comprised of representatives from both Skyworks and Qorvo, with the exact size and split to be agreed between the parties prior to announcement. The June 9 Counterproposal also provided for an exchange ratio of 1.337 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 22% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies' stock calculated using closing

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

prices on June 6, 2025. In response, Mr. Brace communicated to Mr. Bruggeworth that the Skyworks Board's expectation was that Mr. Brace would continue as the chief executive officer of the combined company.

On June 10, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview contacted representatives of Qatalyst Partners to clarify that Qorvo was likely willing to consider alternative formulations of the ad hoc working group proposed in the June 9 Counterproposal.

On June 11, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden. Among other things, the Transaction Committee discussed the June 9 Counterproposal in detail, and requested additional analysis from advisors to aid its consideration of the terms therein.

On June 16, 2025, Mr. Brace, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, delivered a revised proposal to Mr. Bruggeworth in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "June 16 Proposal"). The June 16 Proposal reflected (i) an exchange ratio of 1.210 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 9% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies' stock calculated using closing prices on June 13, 2025, (ii) Mr. Brace as the combined company's chief executive officer, (iii) the combined company's chairman being selected by the combined company's board of directors, (iv) a combined company board of directors comprised of 10 members, with Skyworks appointing six (one of whom would be the Skyworks chief executive officer) and Qorvo appointing four, and (v) Mr. Brace, as the combined company's chief executive officer, selecting the other members of management, in consultation with Mr. Bruggeworth prior to closing. Mr. Brace also spoke to Mr. Bruggeworth that day regarding the June 16 Proposal, as well as the Qorvo Board's decision to nominate Mr. Feld to the Qorvo Board. Mr. Bruggeworth conveyed that he did not expect the Qorvo Board to accept the terms presented in the June 16 Proposal.

On June 17, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners discussed the June 16 Proposal, including the premium implied by the exchange ratio and each party's view of the governance terms contained therein.

On June 18, 2025, a representative of another semiconductor company ("Party 1") contacted Mr. Bruggeworth and suggested they discuss potential strategic options.

On June 19, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which the Transaction Committee discussed the recent communications between the parties and their advisors. The Transaction Committee also discussed the importance of a clear line of authority within the combined company in order to achieve the synergies that would ultimately drive value for Skyworks stockholders, and discussed various governance structures that would not impinge on those goals. The Transaction Committee also heard a presentation from Skadden on key legal, financial and operational considerations in respect of a potential transaction.

On June 22, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. At this meeting, representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the June 16 Proposal. The Qorvo Board discussed the June 16 Proposal, including, among other things, the governance of the combined company. The Qorvo Board then authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to deliver a request to Mr. Brace that representatives from each of the Qorvo Board and the Skyworks Board meet in person to discuss the June 16 Proposal, including the governance of the combined company. Mr. Bruggeworth also noted for the Qorvo Board the inbound request by Party 1, which the Qorvo Board also discussed.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

On June 23, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, contacted Mr. Brace to deliver the request for an in-person meeting, which was followed shortly thereafter by a written letter from Mr. Bruggeworth to Mr. Brace requesting that Mr. Brace, together with members of the Skyworks Board, meet in-person with the Qorvo Board to share Mr. Brace's vision for a combined company and future value creation, in order to inform the Qorvo Board's next counterproposal. Mr. Bruggeworth and Mr. Brace spoke that day about the importance of synergy realization in creating value for each company's stockholders, and the Qorvo Board's focus on the combined company leadership that would drive such value creation. The same day, representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Centerview spoke about the meeting requested in Qorvo's June 23, 2025, correspondence, and the representatives of Centerview conveyed that the Qorvo Board's primary focus was to maximize stockholder value by effectively obtaining synergies through an appropriate governance structure, including the role of chief executive officer.

Later on June 23, 2025, a representative of Party 1 and Mr. Bruggeworth spoke by phone and agreed to meet in person.

On June 25, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which it discussed Qorvo's June 23 correspondence and determined that the proposed meeting should go forward in order to progress the parties' negotiations, emphasize the Skyworks Board's view that Mr. Brace should act as the combined company's chief executive officer, and foster an open line of communication between the two parties' boards of directors. On each of June 25, June 27 and July 1, 2025, representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners discussed structure and goals for the upcoming meeting.

In June 2025, Skyworks began engaging with FTI Consulting as potential advisors with respect to synergy due diligence and synergy analysis in connection with the potential transaction with Qorvo.

In June 2025, Skyworks engaged Qatalyst Partners to provide financial advisory services to Skyworks in connection with certain strategic matters, including with respect to a potential transaction with Qorvo. Skyworks selected Qatalyst Partners to act as Skyworks' financial advisor based on Qatalyst Partners' qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of the business and affairs of Skyworks and the industry in which it operates.

On July 2, 2025, representatives of the Skyworks Board (Mr. Brace, Mr. Schriesheim, Christine King and Mr. Beebe) and representatives of the Qorvo Board (Wally Rhines, Richard Clemmer, John Harding and Alan Lowe) met in person in Dallas, Texas, in order for the Qorvo Board to become familiar with Mr. Brace and his background, and to discuss his vision for the combined company and the integration of the two companies (the "July 2 Meeting"). The parties discussed the unique opportunity that a combination would provide to drive stockholder value for each company, the strategic rationale for a transaction, the importance of achieving synergies in order to drive such value creation, management of integration planning, and the benefits to each party's customers that a combination would have. The parties also discussed certain governance matters for a combined company, including the Skyworks Board's view that Mr. Brace should act as chief executive officer of the combined company, and the Qorvo Board's view that Mr. Bruggeworth should have a meaningful role in the combined company, given his background and experience, which the Qorvo Board believed would assist in unlocking synergies to achieve significant value for the combined company's stockholders.

On July 3, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners, FTI Consulting and Skadden, at which the directors discussed the July 2 Meeting. That same day, representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Centerview discussed timing considerations for announcing a transaction in light of the parties' upcoming earnings announcements, and each party's takeaways from and reactions to the July 2 Meeting.

On July 4, 2025, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth discussed the July 2 Meeting. Mr. Bruggeworth conveyed that the Qorvo Board expressed dissatisfaction with the ongoing transaction negotiations, in particular that the governance structure proposed by Skyworks did not reflect the exchange ratio that accompanied it, but that the Qorvo Board would accept Skyworks' proposal that Mr. Brace would be the chief executive officer of the combined company. Mr. Bruggeworth also conveyed that his focus was on how best to achieve the synergies both parties believed were possible and to ensure successful integration of the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

two companies. The same day, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview conveyed to representatives of Qatalyst Partners the Qorvo Board's desire for Mr. Bruggeworth to have a meaningful role with the combined company in order to maximize the combined company's opportunity to realize synergies and create value for stockholders, and the representatives of Qatalyst Partners conveyed to representatives of Centerview the Skyworks Board's strong desire to avoid any ambiguity in leadership structure.

On July 5, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden. Among other things, the Transaction Committee discussed the July 2 Meeting, the recent conversations between Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth, and the recent conversations between representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Centerview. The same day, Mr. Brace, at the direction of the Transaction Committee, contacted Mr. Bruggeworth proposing that Mr. Bruggeworth join the combined company board to lead an integration committee of the board to drive the combined company's achievement of synergies. Also on July 5, 2025, Ms. King and Dr. Rhines discussed Mr. Bruggeworth's role in the combined company further, and Dr. Rhines again emphasized the Qorvo Board's focus on this point as a means to facilitate unlocking synergies and driving stockholder value and their belief that there was a disconnect between the governance structure and exchange ratio proposed by the Skyworks Board, and the two reiterated the strong strategic rationale for a transaction.

On July 6, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. The Qorvo Board discussed the July 2 Meeting. The representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the June 16 Proposal. After discussion, the Qorvo Board authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to deliver the July 7 Counterproposal to Mr. Brace.

On July 7, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth, on behalf of the Qorvo Board, delivered a revised counterproposal to Mr. Brace in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "July 7 Counterproposal"). The July 7 Counterproposal contemplated (i) an exchange ratio of 1.284 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 14% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies' stock calculated using closing prices on July 3, 2025, (ii) Mr. Brace as the combined company's chief executive officer, (iii) Mr. Bruggeworth as the executive chairman of the combined company, to work with Mr. Brace to drive synergy planning and execution of integration for two years post-closing, (iv) a combined company board of ten members, with each party designating five directors (in each case, including such company's current chief executive officer), (v) the two chief executive officers working together to select additional executive roles prior to closing, with Mr. Brace making the final determination, and (vi) a new name for the combined company. The July 7 Counterproposal also invited the Skyworks Board to submit a proposal with a higher premium in line with the governance structure the Skyworks Board had previously proposed, if the Skyworks Board determined to pursue a structure other than a merger of equals. The same day, Mr. Bruggeworth and Mr. Brace also discussed the July 7 Counterproposal, with Mr. Bruggeworth emphasizing the need to align, in the Qorvo Board's view, the governance structure with the exchange ratio.

On July 7, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which it discussed the July 7 Counterproposal and whether or not, as a result thereof, to continue negotiating a potential transaction, as well as potential counterproposals.

On July 8, 2025, the Transaction Committee met again with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, and discussed, among other things, the strategic rationale for the transaction and next steps. Later that day, Mr. Brace contacted Mr. Bruggeworth and conveyed that the Skyworks Board viewed the parties as being at an impasse. Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth discussed options for the governance structure for a combined company. The same day, representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners spoke, at which time the representatives of Centerview conveyed that the Qorvo Board was losing interest in pursuing a transaction at such time in light of the difficulties the parties were having agreeing on the appropriate governance structure, and representatives of Qatalyst Partners conveyed the same message that Mr. Brace conveyed to Mr. Bruggeworth.

On July 9, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which it discussed the Skyworks Board's counterproposal proposed to be delivered to Qorvo. Later that day, Mr. Brace, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, delivered a revised counterproposal to Mr. Bruggeworth in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "July 9 Proposal"), which provided for (i) an exchange ratio of 1.247 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 10% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies' stock calculated using closing prices on July 8, 2025, (ii) Mr. Brace as the combined company's chief executive officer, (iii) Mr. Bruggeworth as non-executive chairman of the combined company, (iv) Skyworks selecting the lead independent director, (v) a combined company board of ten directors, with Qorvo appointing four directors and Skyworks appointing six directors (including, in each case, such party's current chief executive officer), (vi) no changes to the parties' selection of other executive roles, and (vii) no change to Skyworks' name, but a new ticker symbol reflecting the combination of the companies. Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth spoke that day to discuss the July 9 Proposal, and Mr. Bruggeworth conveyed that he believed the 6-4 board split would be difficult for the Qorvo Board to accept and discussed the possibility, to assist in unlocking synergies, of maintaining his position on the combined company board for some period of time post-closing.

On July 10, 2025, the Transaction Committee determined that Mr. Brace should convey to Mr. Bruggeworth that the Skyworks Board could agree to memorialize in the definitive agreement the board's intent to re-appoint Mr. Bruggeworth as non-executive chairman following the first annual stockholders' meeting post-closing. Mr. Brace conveyed that to Mr. Bruggeworth later that day. Mr. Bruggeworth and Mr. Brace also discussed the importance of structuring the combined company leadership to achieve the anticipated synergies in order to maximize stockholder value.

Later on July 10, 2025, Mr. Brace, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, delivered a revised counterproposal to Mr. Bruggeworth reflecting the board's intent to re-appoint Mr. Bruggeworth.

Later that day, Dr. Rhines reached out to Ms. King and conveyed the Qorvo Board's position that the combined company board should be comprised of an equal number of directors appointed by each party as the appropriate governance structure to reflect the proposed exchange ratio, which Ms. King responded would not be acceptable to the Skyworks Board. They further discussed the specifics of Mr. Bruggeworth's proposed role with the shared goal of ensuring the combined company would have a governance structure in place that would best position it to achieve the contemplated synergies.

Also on July 10, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. At the meeting, representatives of Centerview discussed a preliminary financial analysis of the July 9 Proposal. The Qorvo Board discussed the July 9 Proposal. The Qorvo Board then authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to deliver the July 10 Counterproposal to Mr. Brace.

Later on July 10, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth, on behalf of the Qorvo Board, delivered a revised counterproposal to Mr. Brace in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "July 10 Counterproposal"). The July 10 Counterproposal provided for (i) 1.265 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 9% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies calculated using closing prices on July 9, 2025, (ii) Mr. Brace as chief executive officer of the combined company, (iii) Mr. Bruggeworth as chairman of the board with a minimum 2-year term, (iv) the lead independent director being one of Skyworks' designees, (v) a combined company board of ten directors, with Qorvo appointing four directors, Skyworks appointing five directors, and a mutually selected independent director (with each side's chief executive officer being included in their respective appointees to the combined company board), (vi) Mr. Brown, Qorvo's current chief financial officer, as the chief financial officer of the combined company, and (vii) no change to the parties' selection of (a) other executive roles or (b) the combined company name and ticker symbol. Mr. Brace communicated to Mr. Bruggeworth that he thought the Skyworks Board might cease negotiations as a result of the terms proposed in the July 10 Counterproposal.

In July 2025, Skyworks began engaging with KPMG LLP to conduct tax and accounting due diligence of Qorvo in connection with the potential transaction.

On July 11, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which it discussed the July 10 Counterproposal, as well as the directors' collective view that although a strategic transaction with Qorvo presented a unique opportunity for Skyworks, the Qorvo Board's most recent proposal was unacceptable and that Skyworks had other meaningful opportunities for growth and success in maximizing shareholder value if the parties could not reach agreement on high level terms of a transaction in the coming days. The directors also discussed their perceived disconnect between the Qorvo Board's proposals on the governance structure and exchange ratio. The Transaction Committee determined to take additional time to consider how to respond to the July 10 Counterproposal. Later that day, representatives of Qatalyst Partners conveyed to representatives of Centerview that the Skyworks Board was unlikely to proceed with a transaction at that time, and the representatives of Centerview conveyed the Qorvo Board's belief that its proposed terms provided a meaningful opportunity for the combined company to achieve synergies.

On July 13, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden, at which it discussed various options for responding to the July 10 Counterproposal, including whether to cease negotiations at such time. The directors discussed their confidence in Skyworks' ability to achieve significant value for stockholders absent a transaction with Qorvo, but that a transaction nonetheless carried significant strategic rationale and an opportunity to provide significant value to stockholders, and the Transaction Committee determined to submit a "best and final" proposal to Qorvo. The same day, Mr. Brace, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, delivered a revised counterproposal to Mr. Bruggeworth (the "July 13 Proposal"), which provided for (i) an exchange ratio of 1.265 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which represented an approximately 8% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the values of both companies' stock calculated using closing prices on July 11, 2025, (ii) Mr. Brace as the combined company CEO, (iii) Mr. Bruggeworth as the chairman of the combined company board, and the definitive agreement reflecting the Skyworks Board's intent to reappoint him as chairman following the first annual meeting of stockholders post-closing, (iv) Skyworks designating the lead independent director, (v) a combined company board of nine directors, with Qorvo appointing four and Skyworks appointing five members (in each case including each company's chief executive officer), (vi) Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth working together to select other executive roles, with Mr. Brace ultimately making the final decision, and (vii) a new ticker symbol reflecting both companies. That day, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth discussed the July 13 Proposal, and Mr. Bruggeworth conveyed concern over the proposed governance structure in light of the proposed exchange ratio. Mr. Bruggeworth also authorized Centerview to convey a similar message to Skyworks and its representatives.

On July 15, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting. Representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. Representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the July 13 Proposal. The Qorvo Board discussed the July 13 Proposal, including, among other things, that Skyworks characterized the July 13 Proposal as "best and final". After discussion, the Qorvo Board instructed Mr. Bruggeworth to contact Mr. Brace to discuss the July 13 Proposal.

Later on July 15, 2025, representatives of Party 1, Mr. Bruggeworth and Mr. Brown met in person and discussed a potential business combination between Party 1 and Qorvo. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Bruggeworth briefed the Qorvo Board on the discussion topics at such meeting.

On July 16, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth contacted Mr. Brace and expressed again that the proposed governance structure did not reflect the proposed exchange ratio in the July 13 Proposal. In light of the fact that both parties' earnings releases were approaching and Qorvo's desire to focus on its earnings release, and in light of the upcoming Qorvo annual stockholder meeting, Mr. Bruggeworth stated that the Qorvo Board was of the view that it may be best to postpone discussions, but that the Qorvo Board remained interested in pursuing a transaction between the parties. Representatives of Centerview also contacted representatives of Qatalyst Partners and conveyed the same message that Mr. Bruggeworth conveyed to Mr. Brace.

On July 18, 2025, in light of the parties' failure to reach agreement on the key terms under negotiation, representatives of Skyworks delivered a return or destroy notice under the Confidentiality Agreement to representatives of Qorvo, terminating the parties' discussions regarding a potential transaction.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

On July 21, 2025, Qorvo and Party 1 signed a confidentiality agreement. The confidentiality agreement with Party 1 did not contain any "standstill" provision.

On August 13, 2025, Qorvo held its annual stockholder meeting.

On August 14, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a regularly scheduled board meeting in person in Dallas, Texas, which was also attended by representatives of Qorvo senior management. Representatives of each of Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. The representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analyses of a potential combination with Skyworks, a potential combination with Party 1, and other potential strategic alternatives available to Qorvo. A representative of Davis Polk reviewed with the Qorvo Board its fiduciary duties under Delaware law. The Qorvo Board also discussed where the discussions had ended with Skyworks as well as the present status of the discussions with Party 1. The Qorvo Board discussed openness to receiving a revised proposal from Skyworks that included consideration consisting of cash and stock of Skyworks, that would allow Qorvo stockholders to obtain a higher premium and more certainty in value than an all-stock transaction and, therefore, allow the Qorvo Board to move away from certain of its positions on governance matters, and instructed representatives of each of Qorvo senior management, Centerview and Davis Polk of this view.

On August 16, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, Mr. Bruggeworth contacted Mr. Brace to inform him that an undisclosed third party, Party 1, had approached Qorvo regarding a potential business combination between Party 1 and Qorvo.

On August 17, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview contacted representatives of Qatalyst Partners to convey the same, as well as the Qorvo Board's belief in the potential of a combination with Skyworks. The representatives of Centerview conveyed that the Qorvo Board would like the Skyworks Board to consider making a proposal for a transaction with a mix of cash and stock consideration, and a higher premium than that implied by the terms of the July 13 Proposal, which higher premium would also be consistent with what the Qorvo Board expected to be a more acceptable governance structure to the Skyworks Board.

On August 18 and 28, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth spoke with a representative of Party 1 regarding a potential combination.

Later in August 2025, Skyworks began engaging with Goldman Sachs to act as co-financial advisor in connection with a potential cash and stock transaction with Qorvo, and to advise with respect to potential debt financing in connection with such a transaction. Skyworks selected Goldman Sachs to act as Skyworks' co-financial advisor based on Goldman Sachs' qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of the business and affairs of Skyworks and the industry in which it operates.

On September 2, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Skadden. Among other things, the Skyworks Board discussed the latest outreach from Qorvo and discussed what next steps, if any, to take in response. The Skyworks Board discussed the merits of a combination transaction with Qorvo, including the significant value creation opportunities it provided for Skyworks stockholders, as well as the alternative opportunities available to Skyworks, including maintaining the status quo, should the Skyworks Board determine not to reengage with Qorvo.

On or around September 8, 2025, Mr. Schriesheim and Mr. Feld discussed the possibility of reengaging in negotiations for a potential transaction, and Mr. Feld's view that a transaction with Skyworks presented the best opportunity to create value for Qorvo stockholders.

On September 12, 2025, a representative of Party 1 sent a proposal letter to Mr. Bruggeworth for a potential business combination between Party 1 and Qorvo (the "Party 1 Proposal"). Mr. Bruggeworth promptly informed the Qorvo Board of the Party 1 Proposal.

On September 15, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs and Skadden to discuss whether to re-engage with Qorvo in respect of a potential transaction. The Transaction Committee discussed, among other things, the strong rationale for a combination transaction, the Qorvo Board's request for a mix of cash and stock consideration, for which Skyworks would obtain debt financing,

as well as a higher premium, and the best next steps in light of the Transaction Committee's principal goal of creating value for Skyworks stockholders.

Later on September 15, 2025, as directed by the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview spoke with representatives of Qatalyst Partners to discuss the Qorvo Board's belief, notwithstanding the ongoing discussions with Party 1, in the potential of a transaction with Skyworks, and that the new proposed transaction structure, by allowing Qorvo stockholders to obtain a higher premium and the certainty of value from receiving a portion of their consideration in cash, would allow the Qorvo Board to revisit certain of its positions, including those related to governance matters.

On September 16, 2025, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview held a meeting with the financial advisors to Party 1 to discuss a potential combination between Qorvo and Party 1, and the representatives of Centerview suggested that Party 1 revise the Party 1 Proposal.

On September 17, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting, which was also attended by representatives of Qorvo senior management. Representatives of each of Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. The Qorvo Board discussed the potential combination with Skyworks, discussions for which had ended without an agreement. The Qorvo Board continued to discuss openness to receiving a revised proposal from Skyworks that included consideration consisting of cash and stock of Skyworks, with such consideration representing a meaningful premium and authorized Centerview to convey such openness to Skyworks and its representatives. The Qorvo Board also discussed the Party 1 Proposal and a potential response by Qorvo to the Party 1 Proposal and authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to seek a revised proposal from Party 1.

On September 19, 2025, representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners spoke. Among other things, representatives of each of Centerview and Qatalyst Partners discussed each party's view of the strategic merits of a combination between Qorvo and Skyworks, and the Qorvo Board's openness to receiving a revised proposal from Skyworks that included consideration consisting of cash and stock of Skyworks, with such consideration representing a meaningful premium.

On September 22, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth spoke with a representative of Party 1 by phone. The representative of Party 1 requested that Mr. Bruggeworth provide feedback on the Party 1 Proposal. Mr. Bruggeworth responded that he would take the request to the Qorvo Board.

On September 22, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs and Skadden, at which it discussed whether, and on what terms, to submit a revised proposal to the Qorvo Board. The Transaction Committee, believing that a transaction with Qorvo would be in the best interests of Skyworks' stockholders and had the potential to deliver significant value to Skyworks' stockholders, determined to seek approval from the Skyworks Board to submit a revised transaction proposal to the Qorvo Board.

On September 26, 2025, the Skyworks Board held a meeting with management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs and Skadden. The Skyworks Board discussed the Transaction Committee's recommendation that Skyworks reengage in negotiations with Qorvo for a potential transaction, and the key terms on which the Transaction Committee proposed to do so, as well as the implication to Skyworks stockholders and the strong rationale for the transaction, including significant value creation opportunity for Skyworks stockholders and benefits to Skyworks customers, and the Skyworks Board's conviction that it was not influenced by the ongoing discussions between Qorvo and Party 1. The Skyworks Board agreed that Mr. Brace should deliver a revised proposal on the terms reviewed by the Skyworks Board at such meeting.

On September 28, 2025, at the direction of the Skyworks Board, Mr. Schriesheim contacted Mr. Feld to discuss the Skyworks Board's proposal that would be delivered that day. Mr. Schriesheim conveyed the Skyworks Board's conviction of the strategic merits and benefits to both companies' stockholders and the potential to deliver significant value to their respective stockholders and customers. Mr. Schriesheim also conveyed the Skyworks Board's view that it would not engage in a protracted negotiation process or act as a "stalking horse" with respect to Qorvo's ongoing discussions with Party 1. They also discussed their shared conviction that a deal was possible at this time, as well as the mutual desire to move quickly.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Also on September 28, 2025, Mr. Brace, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, delivered a revised proposal to Mr. Bruggeworth in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "September 28 Proposal"). The September 28 Proposal provided for (i) $30 in cash and 0.940 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which implied a price per share of approximately $105 based on Skyworks' closing price on September 26, 2025, and a 13% premium to Qorvo's closing price on September 26, 2025, (ii) no financing contingency, (iii) Mr. Brace as the combined company's chief executive officer, (iv) the combined company's board selecting the chairman, and (v) a combined company board of 11 members, with Skyworks appointing nine members (inclusive of the chief executive officer) and Qorvo appointing two members reasonably acceptable to Skyworks. Mr. Brace also called Mr. Bruggeworth that day to deliver the proposal, and the two discussed their shared conviction that any debt financing allow the combined company to maintain investment grade rating. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners also contacted representatives of Centerview that day to discuss the September 28 Proposal. On that call, the representatives of Centerview communicated that, based on prior discussion with the Qorvo Board, the Qorvo Board would likely expect a higher price in order to reach agreement.

On September 30, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting, which was also attended by representatives of Qorvo senior management. Representatives of each of Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. The representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the September 28 Proposal. The Qorvo Board discussed the September 28 Proposal. After discussion, the Qorvo Board authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to deliver the September 30 Counterproposal to Skyworks. The Qorvo Board also discussed the Party 1 Proposal, including, among other things, the reluctance of Party 1 to make a revised proposal and Party 1's insistence on specific feedback on its proposal. The Qorvo Board authorized Mr. Bruggeworth to continue to seek a revised proposal from Party 1.

Later on September 30, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth, on behalf of the Qorvo Board, delivered a counterproposal to Mr. Brace in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "September 30 Counterproposal"). The September 30 Counterproposal provided for (i) $30 in cash and 1.044 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, with a note that the Qorvo Board was open to the incremental consideration being in the form of stock, cash or a combination thereof, which implied a price per share of approximately $110 based on Skyworks' closing price on September 29, 2025, and an approximately 22% premium to Qorvo's closing price on September 29, 2025, (ii) a combined company board of 11 members, with Skyworks appointing eight members (inclusive of the chief executive officer) and Qorvo appointing three members reasonably acceptable to Skyworks, and (iii) the parties mutually agreeing to and sharing the cost of a retention plan for key Qorvo employees. The September 30 Counterproposal otherwise agreed with the terms presented in the September 28 Proposal, and indicated a desire to announce a transaction on or before October 28, 2025. That day, Mr. Bruggeworth contacted Mr. Brace to discuss the September 30 Counterproposal, noting that the Qorvo Board was primarily focused on the merger consideration — and, as stated in the September 30 Counterproposal, was open to receiving a different mix of cash and stock — as well as the board composition to ensure the combined company would be able to achieve anticipated synergies. Later that week, Mr. Brace and Mr. Bruggeworth also discussed the anticipated timing of certain regulatory filings, and the benefits to their customers that they expected to result from the transaction, which in turn they believed would drive stockholder value. In addition, representatives of Centerview, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, spoke with representatives of Qatalyst Partners about Qorvo's continued discussions with Party 1 and the Qorvo Board's belief in the potential of a combination with Skyworks. On that call, the representatives of Centerview indicated that the proposal in the September 30 Counterproposal with respect to employee retention would have Skyworks making a cash payment to Qorvo in the event a transaction was ultimately unsuccessful.

On October 1, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with management and representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs and Skadden to discuss the September 30 Counterproposal, including with respect to the price terms proposed by the Qorvo Board and a desire to ensure employee retention for both parties. The Transaction Committee discussed the merits of a transaction with Qorvo, including value creation for Skyworks stockholders, and potential counterproposals on the terms raised in the September 30 Counterproposal, as well as whether and when to ask for exclusivity from Qorvo.

On October 2, 2025, Mr. Bruggeworth spoke with a representative of Party 1 by phone and suggested that Party 1 make a revised proposal that included a meaningful premium and a cash component. The representative of Party 1 indicated that Party 1 would not be willing to proceed on that basis and terminated discussions.

On October 3, 2025, Mr. Brace called Mr. Bruggeworth to preview, and thereafter delivered on behalf of the Skyworks Board, a revised counterproposal to Mr. Bruggeworth in the form of a non-binding indication of interest (the "October 3 Proposal"). The October 3 Proposal provided for (i) $32.50 in cash and 0.960 shares of Skyworks common stock for each share of Qorvo common stock, which implied a price per share of approximately $107 based on Skyworks' closing price on October 2, 2025, and an approximately 17% premium to Qorvo's closing price on October 2, 2025, (ii) no financing contingency, (iii) Mr. Brace as the combined company chief executive officer, (iv) the combined company board selecting the chairman of the board, (v) a combined company board of 11 members, with Skyworks appointing eight members (one of whom would be the chief executive officer) and Qorvo appointing three members reasonably acceptable to Skyworks, and (vi) the parties working together to agree to retention plans for key employees of both companies, with each party bearing its own costs. The October 3 Proposal also indicated an intent to endeavor to announce a transaction on or before Qorvo's upcoming earnings announcement. That day, representatives of each of Qatalyst Partners and Centerview discussed outstanding due diligence that the parties would need to complete upon reaching agreement on key terms, and the representatives of Qatalyst Partners conveyed that the Skyworks Board expected to request exclusivity from Qorvo once such an agreement was reached.

On October 5, 2025, the Qorvo Board held a meeting, which was also attended by representatives of Qorvo senior management. Representatives of each of Centerview and Davis Polk were present at the meeting by invitation of the Qorvo Board. The representatives of Centerview discussed Centerview's preliminary financial analysis of the October 3 Proposal. A representative of Davis Polk reviewed with the Qorvo Board its fiduciary duties under Delaware law. The Qorvo Board then further discussed the October 3 Proposal. The Qorvo Board also discussed the status of the conversations with Party 1, noting in particular that Party 1 had not sent a revised proposal to Qorvo despite requests from Mr. Bruggeworth and Centerview, the Qorvo Board's belief that Party 1 was unlikely to move forward with a transaction that would be as favorable (including from a financial point of view) to the Qorvo stockholders as compared to a transaction with Skyworks, and observing that since October 2, 2025, Party 1 had ceased to further engage with Mr. Bruggeworth or Centerview and that Party 1 had terminated discussions. After discussion, the Qorvo Board authorized management and the advisors to proceed to due diligence and negotiation of transaction agreements with Skyworks and its advisors, including on an exclusive basis.

On October 5, 2025, as authorized by the Qorvo Board, representatives of Centerview conveyed to representatives of Qatalyst Partners that the Qorvo Board had accepted the terms in the October 3 Proposal. That day, representatives of Qatalyst Partners, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, sent a draft exclusivity agreement to representatives of Centerview, requesting exclusivity from Qorvo through 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on November 3, 2025. Over the next day, Skyworks and Qorvo negotiated the terms of the exclusivity agreement, and on October 6, 2025, the parties entered into the exclusivity agreement, pursuant to which Qorvo agreed to exclusivity until 3:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on October 28, 2025, subject to automatic extension if the parties were still negotiating in good faith at such time, to 3:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on November 3, 2025. Also on October 6 and 7, 2025, representatives of Qatalyst Partners, on behalf of the Skyworks Board, and representatives of Centerview, on behalf of the Qorvo Board, exchanged due diligence request lists.

On October 9, 2025, representatives of each of Qorvo, Centerview and Davis Polk held a meeting to discuss mutual due diligence of the parties.

On October 10, 2025, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with other members of the Skyworks Board, management and representatives of Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs, FTI Consulting and Skadden, at which it reviewed the draft merger agreement proposed to be shared with Qorvo. A consensus emerged to share such draft with Qorvo following review thereof by the Skyworks Board. The Transaction Committee also reviewed a draft updated financial forecast for Skyworks.

On October 11, 2025, representatives of Skadden delivered to representatives of Davis Polk initial drafts of a proposed merger agreement to be entered into by Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II and a voting and support agreement ("VSA") to be entered into by Skyworks and SBV.

On October 13, 2025, representatives of Davis Polk sent a revised draft of the merger agreement and a revised draft of the VSA to representatives of Skadden. Thereafter, and continuing until the merger agreement was executed and delivered, the parties and their counsel negotiated the terms of the merger

agreement and related disclosure schedules, reflecting discussions between the parties regarding transaction terms.

and further discussion, including of the Transaction Committee's approval of the potential transaction and related transaction agreements, including the Merger Agreement, and the Transaction Committee's recommendation to the Skyworks Board that it approve the potential transaction and related agreements, and consideration of the factors described under "*The Mergers — Skyworks' Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Skyworks Board of Directors.*", the Skyworks Board unanimously (i) determined the potential transaction and the related transaction agreements, including the Merger Agreement, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Skyworks and its stockholders, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the potential transaction and the related transaction agreements, including the Merger Agreement, VSA and debt financing documents, and the performance of such agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the mergers, (iii) adopted the transaction agreements, including the Merger Agreement, (iv) approved and declared advisable the issuance of Skyworks common stock as part of the Merger Consideration, and (v) resolved to recommend to Skyworks stockholders that they approve such stock issuance and directed that such issuance be submitted to Skyworks stockholders for approval.

Following these meetings of the Skyworks Board and Qorvo Board, on October 27, 2025, Skyworks and Qorvo executed the Merger Agreement and Skyworks and SBV executed and delivered the VSA. On the morning of October 28, 2025, prior to the opening of trading on Nasdaq, Skyworks and Qorvo issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement.

#### Skyworks' Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Skyworks Board of Directors
After careful consideration, on October 27, 2025, the Skyworks Board unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of, Skyworks and its stockholders, (b) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers and the Skyworks Stock Issuance, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (c) subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend that Skyworks' stockholders approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, and (d) directed that the Skyworks Stock Issuance be submitted to Skyworks' stockholders for approval at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

#### Accordingly, the Skyworks Board unanimously recommends that Skyworks stockholders vote "FOR" the Skyworks Stock Issuance Proposal and the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.
In reaching its determinations and recommendations, the Skyworks Board and Transaction Committee of the Skyworks Board, as described in the section entitled "*The Mergers — Background of the Mergers*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, held a number of meetings, consulted with Skyworks' senior management and its outside legal, financial and other advisors, and considered a number of factors, including the following factors that weighed in favor of the Mergers (not necessarily presented in order of relative importance).

*Benefits of a Combined Company.* The belief of the Skyworks Board that the Combined Company would be well-positioned to increase value for Skyworks stockholders, including due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the combination of complementary product and technology portfolios of Skyworks and Qorvo coupled with world-class engineering capabilities for execution on the Combined Company's future product roadmap at reduced costs, which are expected to provide the Combined Company with the opportunity to become a world leading developer, manufacturer and provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and solutions and to create research and development scale to deliver innovative radio frequency solutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expectation that the combination of Skyworks and Qorvo and their extended distribution network and future forward products will significantly expand the serviceable obtainable market of the Combined Company with a robust suite of products for its customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expectation that the combination of Skyworks and Qorvo will advance their respective U.S. manufacturing positions and improve factory utilization across the Combined Company's manufacturing footprint;

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Skyworks Board's positive view of the ability of the Combined Company, due to the Combined Company's broader scale, to expand the Combined Company's presence in key geographies and better invest in, support, and provide innovative services to a global customer base;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expectation that the Combined Company will generate approximately $500 million or more of annualized cost synergies, expected to be realized within twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) months following the Closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expectation that the Combined Company will (a) enhance scale with pro forma revenue of approximately $7.7 billion and pro forma adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of approximately $2.1 billion (excluding synergies), (b) create an approximately $5.1 billion mobile business positioned to address rising radio frequency complexity and (c) establish an approximately $2.6 billion diversified broad markets platform with a growing and profitable total addressable market across defense and aerospace, edge internet of things, artificial intelligence data center and automotive markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the earnings accretion that the Skyworks Board believes will result from the Mergers, including the fact that the Mergers are expected to be immediately and meaningfully accretive to Skyworks' adjusted earnings per share following the consummation of the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Skyworks' confidence that the Mergers are more attractive to Skyworks than remaining as a stand-alone company or pursuing other acquisition or business combination opportunities reasonably available to Skyworks, including, among other things, because of Qorvo's complementary intellectual property portfolio, the benefits expected from the customer diversification to be achieved through the Mergers and the expected size, scale, and financial strength of the Combined Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expectation that the Combined Company will be well-capitalized, with enhanced operational synergies from the combined enterprise, resulting in a stronger cash position that would enable strategic capital deployment by the Combined Company in order to accelerate the path to profitability and further increase stockholder value; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the perceived similarities between the cultures of Skyworks and Qorvo, including, among other things, shared values and commitment to integrity, operational excellence, strategic focus, stockholder value and customer satisfaction that would facilitate integration of the two companies.

*Merger Consideration and Exchange Ratio*. The Skyworks Board considered a number of factors related to the Merger Consideration and the favorability of the Exchange Ratio relative to the current assessment of the valuation of each company and of the expected synergies and other benefits of the Mergers, in addition to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the credit rating that Skyworks is expected to have after incurring the interim or permanent indebtedness necessary to finance the cash portion of the Merger Consideration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the aggregate cash consideration is fixed, which provides additional certainty regarding the amount of cash required to be paid by Skyworks to consummate the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the belief that Skyworks will have the necessary financing to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration and that Skyworks, following the Mergers, will be able to repay, service or refinance any indebtedness that is expected to form the interim or permanent financing for the Mergers and, with respect to such indebtedness, to comply with applicable financial covenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • recent and historical market prices for Skyworks Common Stock and Qorvo Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the fact that the Merger Agreement provides for a fixed Exchange Ratio and no adjustment will be made in the Merger Consideration to be received by Qorvo stockholders in connection with the Mergers as a result of possible increases or decreases in the trading price of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock following the announcement of the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expectation that, upon consummation of the Mergers, Skyworks stockholders would own approximately 63% of the common stock of the Combined Company and therefore are expected to participate with Qorvo stockholders in the value of the Combined Company, including expected increased value based on cost synergies, future growth opportunities and other expected benefits of the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the oral opinions, each subsequently confirmed in writing, rendered to the Skyworks Board, (i) of Qatalyst Partners, that, as of October 27, 2025, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters stated in such opinion, the merger consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Skyworks, and (ii) of Goldman Sachs that, as of October 27, 2025, and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations, and assumptions stated in such opinion, the merger consideration to be paid by Skyworks for each share of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to Skyworks (such opinions are more fully described below under the section entitled "— *Opinions of Skyworks' Financial Advisors*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and the full text of the written opinions of Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs are attached as Annexes D and E, respectively, to this joint proxy statement/prospectus); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain unaudited prospective financial information exchanged between the parties to the Merger Agreement and their financial advisors, as described in more detail in the section entitled "— *Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information*."

*Governance Structure for the Combined Company*. The Skyworks Board considered the governance structure for the Combined Company, as reflected in the Merger Agreement, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the representation of directors from each of Skyworks and Qorvo on the board of directors of the Combined Company, reflecting the two companies' commitment to integration, with the board including three (3) directors designated by the Qorvo Board who must be reasonably acceptable to Skyworks (including Mr. Bruggeworth, the current Qorvo chief executive officer), and eight (8) directors designated by the Skyworks Board (including Mr. Brace, the current Skyworks chief executive officer);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that promptly following the Closing, the Skyworks Board would designate the Chairman of the board of directors of the Combined Company following the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that Mr. Brace, the current Skyworks chief executive officer, would be the chief executive officer of the Combined Company following the Mergers, and the Skyworks Board's view of Mr. Brace as having a strong track record as chief executive officer of Skyworks; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that the Combined Company will continue to be led both by Skyworks' current chief executive officer and by seven (7) other directors designated by the Skyworks Board to the Combined Company board of directors, which the Skyworks Board believes will enhance the likelihood of attaining the strategic benefits that Skyworks expects to derive from the Mergers.

*Other Factors Considered by the Skyworks Board of Directors*. In addition to considering the factors described above, the Skyworks Board considered the following additional factors that weighed in favor of the Mergers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Skyworks stockholders immediately prior to the Mergers will be expected to own approximately 63% of the outstanding common stock of the Combined Company immediately following the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • historical information concerning Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective businesses, financial condition, results of operations, earnings, trading prices and management teams;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Skyworks' prospects on a stand-alone basis and forecasted combined basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the expected treatment of the Mergers as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in the section entitled "*U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the current and prospective business environment in which Skyworks and Qorvo operate, including international, national and local economic conditions and the competitive and regulatory environment, and the likely effect of these factors on Skyworks and the Combined Company.

*Terms of the Merger Agreement*. The Skyworks Board considered that the terms of the Merger Agreement, taken as a whole, including the parties' representations, warranties and covenants, and the circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated, in its belief, are reasonable. The

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Skyworks Board also reviewed and considered the conditions to the consummation of the Mergers, and concluded that while the consummation of the Mergers is subject to various conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, such conditions and approvals were likely to be satisfied on a timely basis. The Skyworks Board weighed these advantages and opportunities against a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the risk that, because the Exchange Ratio under the Merger Agreement was fixed as of the time of execution of the Merger Agreement and would not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock, the trading price of the shares of Skyworks Common Stock to be issued to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock upon the consummation of the Mergers could be significantly higher than it was at the time the Merger Agreement was entered into, and the fact that the Merger Agreement does not provide Skyworks with a price-based termination right or other similar protection;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the dilution of existing Skyworks stockholders' ownership in the Combined Company as a result of the Skyworks Stock Issuance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the risk that Qorvo's financial performance may not meet Skyworks' expectations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the potential challenges in integrating the operations of Skyworks and Qorvo and the risk that anticipated cost savings, operational efficiencies, other anticipated cost benefits of the Mergers, expected revenue growth, or other operational synergies of the Mergers might not be realized or might take longer to realize than expected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the possible diversion of management attention for an extended period of time during the pendency of the Mergers and, following the Closing, the integration of the two companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the substantial costs to be incurred in connection with the Mergers, including those that will be incurred regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the ability of the Qorvo Board, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Merger Agreement or change its recommendation that Qorvo stockholders approve the Merger Agreement Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the possibility that the Mergers may not be consummated or that consummation may be unduly delayed for reasons beyond the control of Skyworks or Qorvo, including the failure to receive necessary regulatory approvals or obtain Skyworks or Qorvo stockholders' approval of the Skyworks Stock Issuance or the Merger Agreement, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that the restrictions on the conduct of Skyworks' business prior to the consummation of the Mergers, although believed to be reasonable and not unduly burdensome, may delay or prevent Skyworks from undertaking business opportunities that may arise or other actions it would otherwise take with respect to the operations of Skyworks pending the consummation of the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that certain Skyworks directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Skyworks stockholders generally, as described in the section titled "*Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that Skyworks may be required to pay to Qorvo termination fees of $298,692,098 or $100 million in the event the Skyworks Board were to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, as described in the section titled "*The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Other Fees*";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that Skyworks may be required to reimburse Qorvo's reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with the Transactions in an amount not to exceed $45 million in the event that either party terminates the Merger Agreement due to a failure to obtain the Skyworks stockholder approval necessary to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the potential negative effect of the pendency of the Mergers or the failure of the Mergers to be consummated on a timely basis or at all on Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective businesses and

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and governmental authorities, including regulators and the communities in which they operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • consummation of the Mergers is not conditioned on Skyworks' ability to find suitable financing for the cash portion of the Merger Consideration and Qorvo's right to specifically enforce Skyworks' obligation to consummate the Mergers, even if Skyworks has not found suitable financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the risk that the additional indebtedness to be incurred by Skyworks in connection with the Mergers could have a negative impact on Skyworks' credit rating and flexibility; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the risks of the type and nature described in the section entitled "*Risk Factors*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the matters described in the section entitled "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Skyworks Board considered all of these factors as a whole and, on balance, concluded that the potential benefits of the Mergers outweighed the risks and uncertainties of the Mergers. Accordingly, the Skyworks Board approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Skyworks Stock Issuance and the Mergers.

In addition, the Skyworks Board was aware of and considered the interests of its directors and executive officers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Skyworks stockholders generally described in the section entitled "*Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors that the Skyworks Board considered is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather is meant to include the material factors that the Skyworks Board considered. The Skyworks Board collectively reached the conclusion to approve the Transactions in light of the various factors described above and other factors that the members of the Skyworks Board believed were appropriate, including its fiduciary duties in light of the foregoing. In view of the complexity and wide variety of factors, both positive and negative, that the Skyworks Board considered in connection with its evaluation of the Mergers, the Skyworks Board did not find it practical, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative or specific weights or values to any of the factors it considered in reaching its decision and did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to the ultimate determination of the Skyworks Board. In considering the factors discussed above, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.

The foregoing description of Skyworks' consideration of the factors supporting the Mergers is forward-looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### THE SKYWORKS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SKYWORKS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND THE SKYWORKS ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

#### Qorvo's Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Qorvo Board of Directors
The Qorvo Board, at a meeting duly called and held on October 27, 2025, duly and unanimously adopted resolutions that: (i) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, (ii) determined that the terms of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Qorvo and its stockholders, (iii) recommended that the holders of Qorvo common stock adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted for adoption by Qorvo's stockholders at the Qorvo stockholder meeting, and (iv) declared that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Mergers, are advisable. The Qorvo Board unanimously recommends that Qorvo stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, and "**FOR**" the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

In reaching its decision to adopt the Merger Agreement and recommend that Qorvo stockholders approve the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Qorvo Board consulted with Qorvo management and independent legal and financial advisors and considered a variety of factors with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the following (which are presented below in no particular order and are not exhaustive):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • That the value of the Merger Consideration (i.e., $32.50 in cash per share of Qorvo common stock and a number of shares of Skyworks common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio), offered under the Merger Agreement represents a substantial premium above Qorvo's stock price as of the day prior to public announcement of the Merger Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • That the stock component of the Merger Consideration will provide Qorvo's stockholders with ownership of approximately 37% of the combined company, based on the number of shares of Skyworks common stock issued and outstanding as of December 15, 2025, and will therefore allow Qorvo's stockholders to participate in the anticipated earnings and growth of the combined company, as well as any synergies resulting from the Mergers, while the cash portion of the Merger Consideration will provide liquidity and certainty of value upon consummation of the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that representatives of Qorvo management and representatives of Centerview, at the direction of the Qorvo Board, held discussions with another potential counterparty regarding its interest in a potential business combination transaction with Qorvo;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The belief of the Qorvo Board that it is preferable to enter into the Merger Agreement with Skyworks instead of the other party that Qorvo spoke with regarding a potential business combination transaction in light of the value offered by such other party and in light of the fact that discussions with such other party ended, particularly in light of the fact that Qorvo would be permitted, under circumstances described in the Merger Agreement, to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement after giving Skyworks the opportunity to match the superior proposal and upon payment of a termination fee of $298,692,098, if such other party were to submit an unsolicited acquisition proposal to Qorvo after the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Historical information regarding (i) Qorvo's business, financial performance and results of operations, (ii) market prices, volatility and trading activity with respect to Qorvo common stock, and (iii) market prices with respect to other industry participants and general market indices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Current information regarding (i) Qorvo's business, prospects, financial condition, operations, technology, products, services, management, competitive position and strategic business goals and objectives, (ii) general economic, industry and financial market conditions, (iii) geopolitical conditions (including, without limitation, tariffs and trade wars) which are affecting Qorvo's business, and (iv) opportunities and competitive factors within Qorvo's industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The perceived similarities between the cultures of Skyworks and Qorvo, including, among other things, shared values and commitment to integrity, operational excellence, strategic focus, stockholder value and customer satisfaction that would facilitate integration of the two companies, which the Qorvo Board believes will increase the likelihood that synergies will be achieved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The absence of a financing condition to the closing of the Mergers, Skyworks' representations and warranties relating to the availability of funds, and Skyworks having obtained the Commitment Letter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that certain directors (including the CEO) of Qorvo would continue on the board of directors of the combined company, and would be able to communicate their expertise and views on the best ways for the combined company to execute on and obtain synergies in the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Qorvo Retention Plan that would be established in connection with the Merger Agreement and its retentive effect on executive officers and other key employees of Qorvo, which the Qorvo Board believes will assist in integration efforts and therefore is in the best interests of Qorvo's stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The belief of the Qorvo Board, after consultation with Qorvo's senior management and representatives of Davis Polk, that a transaction with Skyworks has a reasonable likelihood of closing under applicable antitrust, competition and merger control laws and foreign investment screening and foreign direct investment laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Skyworks will be required to pay Qorvo a reverse termination fee of $100 million in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Qorvo Board's review with Davis Polk of the terms of the Merger Agreement, including the representations and warranties, restrictions on operations during the pendency of the Mergers, regulatory efforts and other covenants, employee matters, termination provisions, tax treatment, and closing conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The opinion of Centerview rendered to the Qorvo Board on October 27, 2025, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated October 27, 2025 that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Centerview in preparing its opinion, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of shares of Qorvo common stock (other than as specified in such opinion) pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, as more fully described below under the caption "*Opinion of Qorvo's Financial Advisor*";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Mergers would be subject to the approval of Qorvo's stockholders, and that stockholders would be free to evaluate the Mergers and vote for or against the Merger Agreement Proposal at the Qorvo special meeting (subject to the terms and conditions of the VSA);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The availability of appraisal rights for Qorvo's stockholders in connection with the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The terms of the Merger Agreement were informed by the advice and professional experience of Qorvo's advisors and were the result of robust negotiations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a "reorganization" for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which Qorvo's stockholders generally would not recognize gain or loss upon their exchange of Qorvo common stock in the Mergers, except for gain recognized with respect to cash received; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Qorvo Board's satisfaction with the due diligence investigation of Skyworks.

The Qorvo Board also considered potential risks, uncertainties, and other factors weighing negatively against the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Qorvo Board concluded that the anticipated benefits of the Mergers were likely to outweigh these risks substantially. These potential risks included the following (which are presented below in no particular order and are not exhaustive):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The prospects and likelihood of realizing superior benefits through remaining an independent company, risks associated with remaining an independent company, and possible alternative business strategies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The potential for other third parties to enter into strategic relationships with or to seek to acquire Qorvo, including a review of Qorvo's dealings with other possible transaction partners in the past and the potential that a third party would offer a higher value than the Merger Consideration offered by Skyworks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The timing of the Mergers and the risk that if the Qorvo Board did not approve the Merger Agreement when it did, it may not have had another opportunity to do so or to accept a comparable opportunity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties are required to take or refrain from taking certain actions specified therein, in order to consummate the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The risk that the Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Department of Justice or other governmental entities responsible for the enforcement of applicable antitrust, competition and merger control laws and foreign investment screening and foreign direct investment laws may not approve the Mergers or may impose terms and conditions on their approval, which terms and conditions may adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company and its ability to realize the expected benefits of the transaction or which terms and conditions may result in a condition to closing of the Mergers set forth in the Merger Agreement failing to be satisfied;

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The possibility that the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be completed, or that their completion may be delayed for reasons that are beyond the control of Skyworks or Qorvo, including among other things the failure of Qorvo or Skyworks to satisfy requirements that are conditions to closing the Mergers, and the impact that such failure or delay may have on Qorvo;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The risk that the pendency of the Mergers or the failure to consummate the Mergers could adversely affect the operations of Qorvo and its subsidiaries and the relationships of Qorvo and its subsidiaries with their respective employees (including making it more difficult to attract and retain key personnel), customers, suppliers, vendors, and others with whom they have business dealings, including as a result of the expected time period for satisfying the conditions to the closing of the Mergers and the risk of potential delays in satisfying such conditions beyond the anticipated time frames;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • That the amount of cash and the number of shares of Skyworks common stock to be received for each outstanding share of Qorvo common stock is fixed and will not be increased to compensate Qorvo's stockholders in the event of a decline in the share price of Skyworks common stock or an increase in the share price of Qorvo common stock prior to the Effective Time, and that the terms of the Merger Agreement do not include termination rights for Qorvo triggered solely in the event of an increase in the value of Qorvo relative to the value of Skyworks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that Qorvo will no longer exist as an independent public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The possible negative effect of the Mergers and public announcement of the Mergers on Qorvo's financial performance, operating results and stock price and Qorvo's relationships with customers, suppliers, other business partners, management and employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that the Merger Agreement (i) precludes Qorvo from actively soliciting competing proposals and (ii) obligates Qorvo (or its successor) to pay Skyworks a termination fee of $298,692,098, under specified circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to Qorvo accepting a superior proposal or the Qorvo Board changing its recommendation that Qorvo stockholders vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal, as described in "*The Merger Agreement-Termination Fees and Other Fees*", which could discourage the making of a competing proposal or adversely impact the value offered in such a proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The fact that the Merger Agreement imposes restrictions on the conduct of Qorvo's business in the pre-closing period, which may adversely affect Qorvo's business in the event the Mergers are not completed (including by delaying or preventing Qorvo from pursuing business opportunities that may arise or precluding actions that would be advisable if Qorvo were to remain an independent company);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The risks involved with the Mergers and the likelihood that Qorvo and Skyworks will be able to complete the Mergers, the possibility that the Mergers might not be consummated and Qorvo's prospects going forward without the combination with Skyworks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The substantial transaction expenses to be incurred in connection with the Mergers and the negative impact of such expenses on Qorvo's cash reserves and operating results should the Mergers not be completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • All known interests of directors and executive officers of Qorvo in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, their interests as stockholders of Qorvo or the interests of Qorvo's other stockholders generally, including that certain officers of Qorvo may participate in the Qorvo Retention Plan and are entitled to severance and other benefits pursuant to agreements with Qorvo in connection with the consummation of the Mergers, as more fully described under the caption "— *Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The potential for litigation by stockholders in connection with the Mergers, which, even where lacking in merit, could nonetheless result in distraction and expense; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The risks of the type and nature described under "*Risk Factors*," beginning on page [38](#tRFF) and the matters described under "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" beginning on page [67](#tCNRF).

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Qorvo Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement, the Qorvo Board did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Qorvo Board considered all these factors among others as a whole, including through its discussions with Qorvo management and independent financial and legal advisors, in evaluating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Mergers).

For the reasons set forth above, the Qorvo Board, at a meeting duly called and held on October 27, 2025, duly and unanimously adopted resolutions that: (i) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, (ii) determined that the terms of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Qorvo and its stockholders, (iii) recommended that the holders of Qorvo common stock adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted for adoption by Qorvo's stockholders at the Qorvo stockholder meeting, and (iv) declared that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Mergers, are advisable.

In considering the recommendation of the Qorvo Board, you should be aware that certain directors and executive officers of Qorvo may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, interests of stockholders of Qorvo generally and may create potential conflicts of interest. The Qorvo Board was aware of these interests and considered them when evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Mergers), and in recommending to the holders of Qorvo common stock that they vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, and the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the Qorvo Board and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*".

#### Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information
This summary of the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections, Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections, and Management Assumed Synergies (each as defined below) is included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus because such information was provided to Skyworks' and Qorvo's financial advisors and to the Skyworks and Qorvo Boards for purposes of considering and evaluating the Transactions and the Merger Agreement. The unaudited prospective financial information and Management Assumed Synergies were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information, or GAAP. This information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and, as a result of the foregoing and considering that the special meetings will be held several months after the unaudited prospective financial information and Management Assumed Synergies were prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasted information, readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information or Management Assumed Synergies. Although Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective management believes there is a reasonable basis for its prospective financial information and Management Assumed Synergies, Skyworks and Qorvo caution stockholders that future results could be materially different from the prospective financial information and management assumed synergies.

#### Certain Skyworks Unaudited Prospective Financial Information
Although Skyworks has from time to time publicly issued limited short-term guidance concerning certain aspects of its expected financial performance, it does not, as a matter of course, make public disclosure of detailed forecasts or projections of its expected financial performance for extended periods due to, among other things, the inherent difficulty of accurately predicting future periods and the likelihood that the underlying assumptions and estimates may prove incorrect.

In connection with the Mergers and at the direction of the Skyworks Board, Skyworks management prepared unaudited financial projections that reflect Skyworks management's financial and business outlook for Skyworks on a standalone basis for fiscal years 2025 through 2030 (the "Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections"). The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections were provided to the Skyworks Board in connection with its consideration of the Mergers and were provided to Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs, which were directed by Skyworks management and the Skyworks Board to use and rely upon the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections for purposes of their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions. In addition, certain of the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections were provided to Qorvo and its financial advisor, Centerview.

In connection with the Mergers, Skyworks also received from Qorvo management certain unaudited prospective financial information concerning Qorvo on a standalone basis for fiscal years 2026 to 2030. Such information is included below under "— *Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections*," referred to as the Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections (except such information was provided to Skyworks management on a fiscal year basis). The Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections and the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections were used in the preparation of the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections (discussed below), which were provided to the Skyworks Board in consideration of the Mergers and to Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs, which were directed by Skyworks management and the Skyworks Board to use and rely upon the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections for purposes of their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions.

The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections were prepared treating Skyworks on a standalone basis, based on assumptions Skyworks management considered to be reasonable based on facts known at such time and do not take into account the Transactions, including any costs incurred in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated thereby or any changes to operations or strategy that may be implemented after the consummation of the Mergers, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Transactions. As a result, actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from those contained in the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections. Further, the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections do not take into account the effect of any possible failure of the Mergers to occur.

The information and tables set forth below are included solely to give Skyworks stockholders access to a summary of the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections that were made available to the Skyworks Board, Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs, as well as Qorvo and Centerview, in connection with the Mergers and are not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in order to influence any Skyworks stockholder on any voting or investment decision with respect to the Mergers or for any other purpose. These projections are not, and should not be viewed as, public guidance or targets.

#### Certain Qorvo Unaudited Prospective Financial Information

#### Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections
Other than providing annual and quarterly financial guidance in connection with its ordinary course earnings announcements, Qorvo has not typically provided detailed or specific public disclosure of forecasts, projections, estimates or predictions of its future earnings, income or other financial results due to the inherent unpredictability of such financial results and variability in the underlying assumptions and estimates necessary to forecast, project, estimate and predict future financial results, especially over longer periods of time and the potential that such underlying assumptions and estimates may prove incorrect.

However, in connection with the evaluation of the Mergers, Qorvo provided the Qorvo Board, Skyworks and their respective advisors with certain non-public, unaudited non-GAAP stand-alone financial forecasts concerning Qorvo that were prepared by management of Qorvo for internal purposes to assess a possible strategic transaction, and not for public disclosure (such forecasts, the "Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections").

The Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections were prepared by Qorvo's senior management on a standalone basis based on assumptions they considered to be reasonable based on facts known at the time of preparation and do not take into account the Transactions, including any costs incurred in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated thereby or any changes to Qorvo's operations or strategy that may be implemented after the consummation of the Mergers. As a result, actual results likely will differ, and may differ materially, from those contained in the Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections.

In connection with the Mergers, Qorvo management also prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information concerning Skyworks on a standalone basis using the Skyworks Management

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Unaudited Projections to present them on a calendar year basis (the "Qorvo Management Unaudited SW Projections" and together with the Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections, the "Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections"). The Qorvo Management Unaudited SW Projections were provided to the Qorvo Board in connection with its consideration of the Mergers. Qorvo management and the Qorvo Board directed Centerview to use and rely upon the Qorvo Management Unaudited SW Projections for purposes of its financial analyses of the Transactions.

The information and tables set forth below are included solely to give Qorvo stockholders access to the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections. In all cases, the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections were adjusted to reflect a calendar year presentation. In addition to the Qorvo Board and Centerview, the Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections were provided to Skyworks, Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs on a fiscal year basis. The Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections are not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in order to influence any Qorvo stockholder to make any investment decision with respect to the Mergers or for any other purpose. These projections are not, and should not be viewed as, public guidance or targets.

#### Management Assumed Synergies
Skyworks management and Qorvo management jointly developed and provided to their respective boards prospective financial information relating to the estimated approximately $500 million or more cost synergies expected to be realized by the Combined Company within 24-36 months post-Closing when the companies are fully integrated, and related costs of such synergies, which are estimated to consist of cost of goods synergies of approximately $130 million and approximately $370 million from operating and expense synergies (the "Assumed Synergies"). Skyworks management and Qorvo management estimated, among other things, that the aggregate cost of achieving the projected synergies would be approximately $370 million phased in over the course of four years, with approximately $100 million in the first fiscal year following the anticipated Closing Date ("Assumed Costs" and together with the Assumed Synergies, the "Management Assumed Synergies"). The Management Assumed Synergies were provided to Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs, who were each directed by Skyworks management and the Skyworks Board to use and rely upon such Assumed Synergies for purposes of their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions. The Management Assumed Synergies were provided to Centerview and Qorvo management, and the Qorvo Board directed Centerview to use and rely upon the Management Assumed Synergies for purposes of its analyses of the Transactions.

See "*General Information Regarding the Forecasts"* beginning on page [111](#tGIRF2) for further information regarding the uncertainties underlying the synergies, which section shall be read to apply to the Management Assumed Synergies to the same extent as the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections, as applicable, as well as "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" and "*Risk Factors*" beginning on pages [67](#tCNRF) and [38](#tRFF), respectively, for further information regarding the uncertainties and factors associated with realizing the synergies in connection with the Mergers.

#### Certain Pro Forma Financial Information
Skyworks provided to Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs certain non-public unaudited pro forma financial information for fiscal years 2025 through 2030 (the "SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections") that were based on, among other things, the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and Management Assumed Synergies, taking into account the Mergers. Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs each used the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections, with the Skyworks Board's approval, for purposes of their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions, as described and summarized in the section titled "*The Mergers — Opinion of Skyworks' Financial Advisors*." The following table presents a summary of the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections:

#### General Information Regarding the Forecasts
The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, nor were they prepared with a view toward compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of projections of prospective financial information. The non-GAAP financial measures used in the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections were approved by Skyworks management and the Skyworks Board for use by Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs in connection with the opinions delivered by Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs to the Skyworks Board and were relied upon by the Skyworks Board in connection with its consideration of the Mergers. The SEC rules, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure, do not apply to non-GAAP financial measures provided to Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs, Centerview, or to the Skyworks or Qorvo respective boards in connection with a proposed business combination like the Mergers if the disclosure is included in a document like this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to a GAAP financial measure were not relied upon by Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs, or Centerview for purposes of their opinions or by the Skyworks or Qorvo respective boards in connection with their consideration of the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and the Merger Consideration. Accordingly, neither Skyworks nor Qorvo have provided reconciliations of the financial measures included in the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections to the relevant GAAP financial measures. The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that Skyworks and Qorvo believe are helpful in understanding their past financial performance and projected future results. Skyworks management and Qorvo management regularly use a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP for forecasting, budgeting and measuring financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. While Skyworks and Qorvo believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to help investors understand the operating results and to analyze Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of either Skyworks' or Qorvo's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of Skyworks' or Qorvo's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections may differ from published analyst estimates and forecasts and do not take into account any events or circumstances after the date they were prepared, including the announcement of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections do not take into account the effect of any failure to consummate the Mergers and should not be viewed as accurate or applicable in that context.

While the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections are presented with numerical specificity, the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions (including, but not limited to, those related to industry performance and competition, general business, economic, market, and financial conditions, and additional matters specific to Skyworks' and Qorvo's businesses or which are difficult to predict but subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties) that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond Skyworks management's and Qorvo management's control. Further, given that the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections cover multiple years, by their nature, they become subject to greater uncertainty

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

with each successive year beyond their preparation. The ability to achieve the performance contemplated by the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections depends on, in part, whether or not strategic goals, objectives, and targets are reached over the applicable period. The assumptions upon which the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections were based necessarily involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and regulatory conditions and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies, including, among other things, Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives, and targets over applicable periods, the inherent uncertainty of the business and economic conditions affecting the industry in which Skyworks and Qorvo operate, and the risks and uncertainties described in the section "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" beginning on page [67](#tCNRF) and "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [38](#tRFF), all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective control. The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections also reflect assumptions by Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective management that are subject to change and are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual results, revised respective prospects for the Skyworks and Qorvo businesses, changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other transaction or event that has occurred or that may occur and that was not anticipated when such projections were prepared. Modeling and forecasting the future performance of a company is a highly speculative endeavor. Since the financial projections cover a long period of time, the financial projections by their nature are unlikely to anticipate each circumstance that will have an effect on the commercial value of Skyworks' and Qorvo's respective services.

Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections will be realized, and actual results may differ, and may differ materially, from those shown. The inclusion of the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections in this joint proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that any of Skyworks, Qorvo, Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs, Centerview, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors, or other representatives, considered or consider the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and/or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and/or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections should not be relied upon as such. None of Skyworks, Qorvo, Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs, Centerview, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors, or other representatives, can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections. None of Skyworks, Qorvo, Qatalyst Partners, Goldman Sachs, Centerview, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors, or other representatives, has made or makes any representation to any stockholder or other person regarding the ultimate performance of Skyworks or Qorvo compared to the information contained in the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and/or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections or that forecasted results will be achieved.

In addition, the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections have not been updated or revised to reflect information or results after the date they were prepared or as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and except as required by applicable securities laws, Skyworks and Qorvo do not intend to update or otherwise revise the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections or the Qorvo Management Unaudited Projections or the specific portions presented to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error.

The Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Skyworks management. Neither KPMG LLP nor any other independent accountants have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled, or applied any agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections contained herein and, accordingly, KPMG LLP does not express any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, the prospective financial information. The KPMG LLP report incorporated by reference relates to Skyworks' previously issued financial statements incorporated herein, and does not extend to the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections and should not be read to do so.

#### Opinions of Skyworks' Financial Advisors

#### Opinion of Qatalyst Partners
Skyworks retained Qatalyst Partners to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Mergers and to evaluate whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Skyworks. Skyworks selected Qatalyst Partners to act as Skyworks' financial advisor based on Qatalyst Partners' qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of the business and affairs of Skyworks and the industry in which it operates. Qatalyst Partners has provided its written consent to the reproduction of its opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. At the special meeting of the Skyworks Board on October 27, 2025, Qatalyst Partners rendered to the Skyworks Board its oral opinion, that was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated as of October 27, 2025, to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Skyworks.

 **The full text of Qatalyst Partners' written opinion, dated as of October 27, 2025, is attached hereto as Annex D. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications of the review undertaken by Qatalyst Partners in rendering its opinion. Holders of shares of Skyworks Common Stock should read the opinion carefully in its entirety. Qatalyst Partners' opinion was provided to the Skyworks Board and addresses only, as of the date of the opinion, the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, to Skyworks, and it does not address any other aspect of the Mergers. It does not constitute a recommendation as to how Skyworks stockholders should vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matter and does not in any manner address what the value of Skyworks Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time. The summary of Qatalyst Partners' opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.** 

In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners reviewed a draft of the Merger Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2025, certain related documents and certain publicly available financial statements of Qorvo and Skyworks and other business and financial information of Qorvo and Skyworks. Qatalyst Partners also reviewed (a) certain forward-looking information relating to Qorvo prepared by the management of Qorvo, including the Qorvo Management Unaudited Qorvo Projections (as provided to Skyworks management on a fiscal year basis), (b) certain forward-looking information relating to Qorvo prepared by the management of Skyworks, including financial projections and operating data of Qorvo, (c) certain forward-looking information relating to Skyworks prepared by the management of Skyworks, including the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections, and (d) certain forward-looking information relating to the Combined Company prepared by the management of Skyworks, including the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections, each as described in the section entitled "*The Mergers — Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information*." Additionally, Qatalyst Partners discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of Qorvo and Skyworks, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational impacts anticipated from the Mergers, with senior management of Qorvo and Skyworks, respectively. Qatalyst Partners also reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for shares of Qorvo Common Stock and Skyworks Common Stock and compared the financial performance of Qorvo and Skyworks and the prices and trading activity of shares of Qorvo Common Stock and Skyworks Common Stock with that of certain other selected publicly traded companies and their

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

securities. In addition, Qatalyst Partners reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected acquisition transactions, participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of Qorvo, Skyworks and their respective financial and legal advisors, performed such other analyses, and reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as Qatalyst Partners deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, or discussed with, Qatalyst Partners by Skyworks. With respect to the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections, Qatalyst Partners was advised by the management of Skyworks, and Qatalyst Partners assumed, based on discussions with the management and the board of directors of Skyworks, that the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Skyworks of the future financial performance of Skyworks and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections, Qatalyst Partners was advised by the management of Skyworks, and Qatalyst Partners assumed, that the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Skyworks relating to the strategic, financial and operational impacts anticipated from the Mergers. Qatalyst Partners expressed no view as to the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections or the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections or the assumptions on which each of the foregoing were based. Qatalyst Partners assumed that the terms of the draft Merger Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2025, reviewed by Qatalyst Partners would not differ materially from the final executed Merger Agreement, and that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, without any modification, waiver or delay and with no adjustment to the Merger Consideration. In addition, Qatalyst Partners assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary approvals of the Mergers, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that could have an adverse effect on Qorvo, Skyworks or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the Mergers. Qatalyst Partners relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Skyworks and its legal, tax or regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax or regulatory matters. Qatalyst Partners did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Qorvo or Skyworks or either of their respective affiliates, nor was Qatalyst Partners furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, Qatalyst Partners relied, without independent verification, upon the assessment of the management of Skyworks as to (a) the strategic, financial and other impacts expected to result from the Mergers; (b) the existing and future technologies, intellectual property, products, services and business models of Qorvo and Skyworks and the validity of, and risks associated with, such technologies, intellectual property, products, services and business models, (c) Skyworks' ability to integrate the businesses of Qorvo and Skyworks, including the timing and risks associated therewith, and (d) Skyworks' ability to retain key employees of Qorvo and Skyworks, respectively. Qatalyst Partners' opinion has been approved by its opinion committee in accordance with its customary practice.

Qatalyst Partners' opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of the opinion may affect Qatalyst Partners' opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and Qatalyst Partners has not assumed any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. Qatalyst Partners' opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Skyworks to engage in the Mergers, or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Skyworks. Qatalyst Partners' opinion is limited to the fairness to Skyworks, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, and Qatalyst Partners expressed no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of Qorvo or Skyworks or any of their respective affiliates, or any class of such persons, relative to such Merger Consideration.

The following is a brief summary of the material analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners in connection with its opinion, dated as of October 27, 2025. The analyses and factors described below must be considered as a whole; considering any portion of such analyses or factors, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying Qatalyst Partners' opinion. For purposes of its analyses, Qatalyst Partners utilized, among other things, the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections, SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections and third-party research analyst consensus

estimates as of October 24, 2025. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone, and in order to more fully understand the financial analyses used by Qatalyst Partners, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. Considering the data set forth below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Qatalyst Partners' financial analyses.

#### Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
 *Standalone Company* 

Qatalyst Partners performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis that is designed to imply a range of potential per-share present values for shares of Skyworks Common Stock as of September 30, 2025, using mid-period convention, by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • adding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows ("UFCFs") of Skyworks, based on the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections for the fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2029 (which implied present value was calculated using a range of discount rates of 12.5% to 14.5%, based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for Skyworks);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

the implied net present value of a corresponding terminal value of Skyworks, calculated by multiplying Skyworks' estimated net operating profit after taxes ("NOPAT") in fiscal year 2030 of approximately $1.31 billion, based on the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections, by a range of next-twelve (12)-month's NOPAT multiples of 11.0x to 19.0x (which were chosen based on Qatalyst Partners' professional judgment and experience), and discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in clause (a); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

the net cash of Skyworks, as of September 30, 2025, as provided by the management of Skyworks; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • dividing the resulting amount by the number of fully diluted shares of Skyworks Common Stock outstanding (calculated using the treasury stock method), as provided by the management of Skyworks as of October 24, 2025, with each of the above-referenced estimated future UFCFs and terminal value having also been adjusted for the degree of estimated dilution to current stockholders through the applicable period (approximately 8% cumulative dilution through the applicable period) due to the estimated net effects of equity issuances and cancellations related to future equity compensation, based on estimates of future dilution provided by the management of Skyworks.

Based on the calculations set forth above, this analysis implied a range of values for Skyworks Common Stock of approximately $68 to $112 per share.

 *Pro Forma Combined Company* 

Qatalyst Partners also performed an illustrative pro forma discounted cash flow analysis with respect to the Combined Company, taking into account the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections that were based on the Skyworks Management Unaudited Projections, to imply a range of potential per-share present values for the Combined Company's common stock as of September 30, 2025, using mid-period convention, by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • adding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

the implied net present value of the estimated future UFCFs based on the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections for fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2029 (which implied present value was calculated using a range of discount rates of 12.5% to 14.5%, based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for the Combined Company); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

the implied net present value of a corresponding terminal value of the Combined Company, calculated by multiplying the Combined Company's estimated NOPAT in fiscal year 2030 of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

approximately $2.68 billion, based on the SW Unaudited Pro Forma Projections, by a range of next-twelve (12)-month's NOPAT multiples of 11.0x to 19.0x (which were chosen based on Qatalyst Partners' professional judgment and experience), and discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in clause (a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • subtracting the estimated net debt of the Combined Company as of September 30, 2025, of approximately $3.34 billion, calculated as Skyworks' net debt as of September 30, 2025, as provided by the management of Skyworks, plus Qorvo's net debt, inclusive of equity method investments, as of September 30, 2025, as provided by the management of Qorvo, plus cash consideration to be paid in the transaction (calculated as $32.50 cash per share multiplied by the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding, as provided by the management of Qorvo), plus estimated transaction fees and expenses, as provided by the management of Skyworks, taking into account the Mergers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • dividing the resulting amount by the number of fully diluted shares of the Combined Company common stock outstanding (calculated using the treasury stock method), which was determined by adding the fully diluted shares of Skyworks Common Stock outstanding, as provided by the management of Skyworks, plus the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock to be issued in the transaction (calculated as the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the numbers of shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding, as provided by the management of Qorvo) plus Qorvo's unvested equity awards, as provided by the management of Qorvo, multiplied by the equity awards conversion ratio (calculated as the sum of (a) the Exchange Ratio plus (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Per Share Cash Amount by (ii) the trading price of Skyworks common stock on Nasdaq as of October 24, 2025, as provided by the management of Skyworks)*,* with each of the above-referenced estimated future UFCFs and terminal value having also been adjusted for the degree of estimated dilution to current stockholders through the applicable period (approximately 8% cumulative dilution through the applicable period) due to the estimated net effects of equity issuances and cancellations related to future equity compensation, based on estimates of future dilution provided by the management of Skyworks.

Based on the calculations set forth above, this analysis implied a range of values for Skyworks Common Stock of approximately $71 to $126 per share.

#### Selected Transactions Analysis
Qatalyst Partners compared thirty-four (34) selected public company transactions, including transactions involving companies participating in similar lines of business to Qorvo or with similar business models, similar financial performance or other relevant or similar characteristics.

For each of the selected transactions listed below, Qatalyst Partners reviewed, among other things, (a) the implied fully diluted enterprise value of the target company as a multiple of third-party research analyst consensus estimates of the next-twelve (12)-month's revenue of the target company (the "NTM Revenue Multiples"), (b) the implied fully diluted enterprise value of the target company as a multiple of third-party research analyst consensus estimates of the next-twelve (12)-month's EBITDA of the target company (the "NTM EBITDA Multiples"), and (c) the implied share price of the target company as a multiple of third-party research analyst consensus estimates of the next-twelve (12)-month's earnings per share of the target company (the "NTM P/E Multiples").

Note: "—" means non-meaningful. Multiples greater than 75.0x or negative are considered non-meaningful.

Based on the analysis of the NTM Revenue Multiples for the selected transactions and its professional judgment, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative multiple range of 2.0x to 4.0x, then applied this range to Qorvo's next-twelve (12)-month's revenue (calculated for the twelve (12)-month period ending on June 30, 2026) based on third-party research analyst consensus estimates as of October 24, 2025. Based on the fully diluted shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as provided by management of Qorvo, this analysis implied a range of values for Qorvo Common Stock of approximately $75 to $154 per share.

Based on the analysis of the NTM EBITDA Multiples for the selected transactions and its professional judgment, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative multiple range of 10.0x to 19.0x, then applied this range to Qorvo's estimated next-twelve (12)-month's EBITDA (calculated for the twelve-month period ending on June 30, 2026) based on third-party research analyst consensus estimates as of October 24, 2025. Based on the fully diluted shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as provided by management of Qorvo, this analysis implied a range of values for Qorvo Common Stock of approximately $90 to $174 per share.

Based on the analysis of the NTM P/E Multiples for the selected transactions and its professional judgment, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative multiple range of 15.0x to 25.0x, then applied this range to Qorvo's next-twelve (12)-month's earnings per share (calculated for the twelve-month period ending on June 30, 2026) based on third-party research analyst consensus estimates as of October 24, 2025. Based on the fully diluted shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as provided by management of Qorvo, this analysis implied a range of values for Qorvo Common Stock of approximately $95 to $159 per share.

No company or transaction utilized in the selected transactions analysis is identical to Qorvo or the Mergers. In evaluating the selected transactions, Qatalyst Partners made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Qorvo and Skyworks, such as the impact of competition on Qorvo's business or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in Qorvo's financial condition and prospects or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies and the aggregate value of the transactions to which they are being compared. Individual multiples or mathematical analysis, such as determining the arithmetic mean, median, or the high or low, is not in itself a meaningful method of using selected transactional data. Because of the unique circumstances of each of these transactions and the Mergers, Qatalyst Partners cautioned against placing undue reliance on this information.

#### Miscellaneous
In connection with the review of the Mergers by the Skyworks Board, Qatalyst Partners performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to a partial analysis or summary

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

description. In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Qatalyst Partners believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Qatalyst Partners may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Qatalyst Partners' view of the actual value of Qorvo, Skyworks or the Combined Company. In performing its analyses, Qatalyst Partners made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Skyworks. Any estimates contained in Qatalyst Partners' analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates.

Qatalyst Partners conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness to Skyworks, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the price at which Qorvo Common Stock or Skyworks Common Stock might actually trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

Qatalyst Partners' opinion and its presentation to the Skyworks Board was one of many factors considered by the Skyworks Board in deciding to approve the Merger Agreement. Consequently, the analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Skyworks Board with respect to the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement or of whether the Skyworks Board would have been willing to agree to different consideration. The Merger Consideration payable in the Mergers was determined through arm's-length negotiations between Qorvo and Skyworks and was approved by the Skyworks Board. Qatalyst Partners provided advice to Skyworks during these negotiations. Qatalyst Partners did not, however, recommend any specific consideration to Skyworks or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Mergers.

Qatalyst Partners provides investment banking and other services to a wide range of entities and individuals, domestically and offshore, from which conflicting interests or duties may arise. In the ordinary course of these activities, affiliates of Qatalyst Partners may at any time hold long or short positions and may trade or otherwise effect transactions in debt or equity securities or loans of Qorvo, Skyworks or certain of their respective affiliates. During the two (2)-year period prior to the date of Qatalyst Partners' opinion, no material relationship existed between Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and Qorvo or Skyworks, on the other hand, pursuant to which compensation was received by Qatalyst Partners or its affiliates. Qatalyst Partners and/or its affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to Qorvo or Skyworks and/or their respective affiliates for which Qatalyst Partners would expect to receive compensation.

 ***Under the terms of its engagement letter, Qatalyst Partners provided Skyworks with financial advisory services in connection with the Mergers for which it will be paid an aggregate amount equal to $32.5 million, $250,000 of which was payable upon the execution of the engagement letter, $5.75 million of which was payable upon delivery of its opinion (regardless of the conclusion reached in the opinion), and the remaining portion of which will be paid upon, and subject to, the consummation of the Mergers. Skyworks has also agreed to reimburse Qatalyst Partners for its expenses incurred in performing its services. Skyworks has also agreed to indemnify Qatalyst Partners and its affiliates, their respective members, directors, officers, partners, agents and employees and any person controlling Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, and certain expenses related to or arising out of Qatalyst Partners' engagement.***

#### Opinion of Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs rendered its opinion to the Skyworks Board that, as of October 27, 2025 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the Merger Consideration to be paid by

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Skyworks for each share of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to Skyworks.

 **The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated as of October 27, 2025, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex E. Goldman Sachs provided advisory services and its opinion for the information and assistance of the Skyworks Board in connection with its consideration of the Transactions. Skyworks selected Goldman Sachs to act as Skyworks' co-financial advisor based on Goldman Sachs' qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of the business and affairs of Skyworks and the industry in which it operates. Goldman Sachs' opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of Skyworks Common Stock should vote with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.** 

In connection with rendering the opinion described above and performing its related financial analyses, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Merger Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Skyworks and Qorvo for the five (5) fiscal years ended September 27, 2024 and March 29, 2025, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Skyworks and Qorvo;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain other communications from Skyworks and Qorvo to their respective stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain publicly available research analyst reports for Skyworks and Qorvo; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for Qorvo standalone prepared by its management, and certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for Skyworks standalone and pro forma for the transaction and certain financial analyses and forecasts for Qorvo, in each case, as prepared by the management of Skyworks and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by Skyworks (the "Forecasts").

Goldman Sachs also held discussions with members of the senior management of Skyworks regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of Qorvo and with the members of the senior management of Skyworks regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition, and future prospects of Skyworks and the strategic rationale for, and potential benefits of, the Transactions; reviewed the reported price and trading activity for Skyworks Common Stock and Qorvo Common Stock; compared certain financial and stock market information for Skyworks and Qorvo with similar financial and stock market information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as it deemed appropriate.

For purposes of rendering this opinion, Goldman Sachs, with Skyworks' consent, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, it, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, Goldman Sachs assumed with Skyworks' consent that the Forecasts were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best then available estimates and judgments of the management of Skyworks. Goldman Sachs did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of Skyworks or Qorvo or any of their respective subsidiaries and it was not furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transactions will be obtained without any adverse effect on Skyworks or Qorvo or on the expected benefits of the Transactions in any way meaningful to its analysis. Goldman Sachs also assumed that the Transactions will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to its analysis.

Goldman Sachs' opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Skyworks to engage in the Transactions or the relative merits of the Transactions as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Skyworks; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Goldman Sachs' opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks for each share of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Goldman Sachs' opinion does not express any view on, and does not address, any other term or aspect of the Merger Agreement or the Transactions or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the Merger Agreement or entered into or amended in connection with the Transactions, including any allocation of the Merger Consideration, the fairness of the Transactions to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of Skyworks; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of Skyworks or Qorvo, or any class of such persons in connection with the Transactions, whether relative to the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks for each shares of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise. Goldman Sachs' opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary market and other condition as in effect on, and the information made available to Goldman Sachs as of, the date of its opinion and Goldman Sachs assumes no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date of its opinion. In addition, Goldman Sachs does not express any opinion as to the prices at which shares of Skyworks Common Stock will trade at any time, as to the potential effects of volatility in the credit, financial and stock markets on Skyworks or Qorvo or the Transactions, or as to the impact of the Transactions on the solvency or viability of Skyworks or Qorvo or the ability of Skyworks or Qorvo to pay their respective obligations when they come due. Goldman Sachs' opinion was approved by a fairness committee of Goldman Sachs.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Goldman Sachs to the Skyworks Board in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Goldman Sachs, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Goldman Sachs. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before October 24, 2025, the second to last trading day before the date of the public announcement of the Transactions and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

*Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis of Skyworks — Standalone*. Using the Forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis on Skyworks to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Skyworks Common Stock on a standalone basis.

Using the mid-year convention for discounting cash flows and the end of period convention for discounting terminal value and discount rates ranging from 11.50% to 13.50%, reflecting estimates of Skyworks' weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of September 30, 2025 (a) estimates of unlevered free cash flow for Skyworks on a standalone basis, for the fiscal years 2026 through 2030 as reflected in the Forecasts and (b) a range of illustrative terminal values for Skyworks, which were calculated by applying an illustrative range of terminal year multiples ranging from 14.0x to 19.0x, to an estimated terminal year next twelve months ("NTM") NOPAT on a standalone basis, as reflected in the Forecasts. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rates by application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM"), which requires certain company-specific inputs, including Skyworks; target capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for Skyworks, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. The range of terminal year exit EV/NTM NOPAT multiples was estimated by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account historical trading multiples of Skyworks and Qorvo.

Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for Skyworks by adding the ranges of present values it derived above. Goldman Sachs then subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Skyworks the amount of Skyworks' total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of Skyworks' cash and cash equivalents, in each case as of September 30, 2025 on a standalone basis, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Skyworks, to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Skyworks on a standalone basis. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Skyworks, as provided

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Skyworks, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of illustrative present values per share on a standalone basis ranging from $89.16 to $123.97.

*Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis of Skyworks — Pro Forma*. Using the Forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis on Skyworks on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Transactions ("Pro Forma") to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Skyworks Common Stock Pro Forma.

Using the mid-year convention for discounting cash flows and the end of period convention for discounting terminal value and discount rates ranging from 11.50% to 13.50%, reflecting estimates of Skyworks Pro Forma's weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of September 30, 2025 (a) estimates of unlevered free cash flow for Skyworks Pro Forma, for the fiscal years 2026 through 2030 as reflected in the Forecasts and (b) a range of illustrative terminal values for Skyworks, which were calculated by applying an illustrative range of terminal year multiples ranging from 14.0x to 19.0x, to a NTM NOPAT Pro Forma, as reflected in the Forecasts. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rates by application of the CAPM, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including Skyworks Pro Forma's target capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for Skyworks Pro Forma, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. The range of terminal year exit EV/NTM NOPAT multiples was estimated by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account historical trading multiples of Skyworks and Qorvo.

Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for Skyworks Pro Forma by adding the ranges of present values it derived above. Goldman Sachs then subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Skyworks the amount of Skyworks' total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of Skyworks' cash and cash equivalents, in each case as of September 30, 2025 and Pro Forma, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Skyworks, to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Skyworks Pro Forma. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Skyworks Pro Forma (taking into account replacement equity awards issued to Qorvo employees pursuant to the merger agreement), as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Skyworks, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of illustrative present values per share on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Transactions ranging from $99.16 to $142.43.

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs' opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Skyworks or Qorvo or the Transactions.

Goldman Sachs prepared these analyses for purposes of Goldman Sachs' providing its opinion to the Skyworks Board as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Merger Consideration to be paid by Skyworks for each share of Qorvo Common Stock. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of Skyworks, Qorvo, Goldman Sachs or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.

The Merger Consideration was determined through arm's-length negotiations between Skyworks and Qorvo and was approved by the Skyworks Board. Goldman Sachs provided advice to Skyworks during these negotiations. Goldman Sachs did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Skyworks or the Skyworks Board or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transactions.

As described above Goldman Sachs' opinion to the Skyworks Board was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Skyworks Board in making its determination to approve the Merger Agreement. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Annex E.

Goldman Sachs and its affiliates (collectively, "Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities") are engaged in advisory, underwriting, lending and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research, investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman Sachs and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of Skyworks, Qorvo, any of their respective affiliates and third parties (collectively, the "Relevant Parties"), or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the Transactions. Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has an existing lending relationship with Skyworks. Goldman Sachs acted as financial advisor to Skyworks in connection with, and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transactions. At the request of Skyworks, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC has entered into financing commitments to provide Skyworks with the Bridge Facility in connection with consummation of the Transactions, subject to the terms of such commitments. Pursuant to the terms of such commitments, and as compensation for the Bridge Facility, such affiliate of Goldman Sachs is expected to receive net fees of approximately $11 million.

During the two (2)-year period ended October 27, 2025, Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has not been engaged by Skyworks or its affiliates to provide financial advisory or underwriting services for which Goldman Sachs has recognized compensation. During the two (2)-year period ended October 27, 2025, Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has not been engaged by Qorvo or its affiliates to provide financial advisory or underwriting services for which Goldman Sachs has recognized compensation. Goldman Sachs Investment Banking is not currently mandated by Qorvo and/or its Related Entities to provide to any such person financial advisory and/or underwriting services. Goldman Sachs Investment Banking is not currently soliciting Qorvo and/or its Related Entities to work on financial advisory and/or underwriting matters for any such persons on which it has not been mandated. Goldman Sachs may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Relevant Parties and their respective affiliates for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking may receive compensation.

As of October 27, 2025, Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities had (a) no direct GS Principal Investment (as defined below) in Skyworks and/or its affiliates, and (b) no direct GS Principal Investment in Qorvo and/or its Related Entities (as defined below).

On the public side of Goldman Sachs' informational wall (the "Public Side") and in the ordinary course of its various business activities, Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities may also own equity securities in the Relevant Parties, and/or their respective affiliates arising from engaging in market making, trade execution, clearing, custody, margin lending and other similar financing transactions, securities lending, and related activities (including by acting as agent for third parties executing their transactions or as principal supplying liquidity to market participants, and any related hedging, other risk management or inventory management) (collectively, "Market Making Activities"), which positions change frequently. Regulatory, informational and operational barriers separate the Public Side from Goldman Sachs Investment Banking.

For purposes of this section of the proxy, (a) Goldman Sachs relied on its books and records to (1) unless otherwise indicated, calculate all amounts and (ii) determine whether an entity is an affiliate, portfolio company, subsidiary or majority-owned subsidiary of another entity, and (b) the following terms have the definitions set forth below:

GS Principal Investments (including any associated commitments) are (a) direct balance sheet investments in equity interests or equity securities held by Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities for its own account or (b) direct investments in equity interests held by a fund managed by a Goldman Sachs Affiliated

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Entity that is primarily for the benefit of Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities and/or its current and former employees and not third-party clients. GS Principal Investments do not include equity interests arising from Market Making Activities, equity derivatives, convertible debt instruments, or warrants or equity kickers received in connection with senior secured loans, mezzanine loans, warehouse loans, preferred equity with a fixed rate of return or other similar types of financing transactions (which may also be subject to hedging or other risk-mitigating instruments). GS Principal Investments also do not include investments by funds managed by Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities which funds are almost entirely for the benefit of third-party clients ("GS Client Funds"), which funds can co-invest alongside, and/or make Investments in, the Relevant Parties or their respective Related Entities. As investment managers for GS Client Funds, Goldman Sachs Affiliated Entities are required to fulfill a fiduciary responsibility to GS Client Funds in making decisions to purchase, sell, hold or vote on, or take any other action with respect to, any financial instrument.

"Related Entities" are, as applicable, a person or entity's subsidiaries, affiliates, portfolio companies and/or funds managed thereby.

The Skyworks Board selected Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Transactions. Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of October 25, 2025, Skyworks engaged Goldman Sachs to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Transactions. The engagement letter between Skyworks and Goldman Sachs provides for a transaction fee that is estimated, based on the information available as of the date of announcement, at approximately $8 million, which is contingent upon consummation of the Transactions. Skyworks may, at its sole discretion, increase the transaction fee by up to $2 million. In addition, Skyworks has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for certain of its expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Goldman Sachs and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.

#### Summary of Centerview Financial Analysis
 **The following is a summary of the material financial analyses prepared and reviewed with the Qorvo Board in connection with Centerview's opinion dated October 27, 2025. The order of the financial analyses described does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial analyses by Centerview. Centerview may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so the reference ranges resulting from any particular portion of the analyses summarized below should not be taken to be Centerview's view of the actual value of Qorvo. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses set forth below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Centerview. Considering the data in the tables below without considering all financial analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses or factors,**

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

**including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Centerview's financial analyses and its opinion.** In performing its analyses, Centerview made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Qorvo or any other parties to the Transactions. None of Qorvo, Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Centerview or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of Qorvo do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which Qorvo may actually be sold. Accordingly, the assumptions and estimates used in, and the results derived from, the financial analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions), and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

#### Qorvo Financial Analyses
 *Qorvo Selected Trading Company Analysis* 

Centerview reviewed and compared certain financial information, ratios and multiples for Qorvo to corresponding financial information, ratios and multiples for publicly traded companies that Centerview deemed comparable, based on its experience and professional judgment, to Qorvo (the "Selected Qorvo Trading Companies"). The Selected Qorvo Trading Companies consisted of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Cirrus Logic, Inc.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qualcomm Incorporated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Skyworks.

Although none of the Selected Qorvo Trading Companies is directly comparable to Qorvo, these companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies with certain operational and financial characteristics that, for purposes of its analyses, Centerview considered to be similar to those of Qorvo. However, because none of the Selected Qorvo Trading Companies is exactly the same as Qorvo, Centerview believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected public trading analysis. Accordingly, Centerview also made qualitative judgments, based on its experience and professional judgment, concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Qorvo and the Selected Qorvo Trading Companies that could affect the public trading values of each to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

Using publicly available filings and information obtained from regulatory filings and other data sources and closing stock prices as of October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions), Centerview calculated, for each selected Qorvo trading company: (a) enterprise value (calculated as the market value of common equity (determined using the fully diluted equity value) plus the book value of debt and noncontrolling interests, less cash and cash equivalents) as a multiple of Wall Street research analyst consensus estimated EBITDA for calendar year 2026 (the "CY 2026E EV/EBITDA") and (b) a ratio of current share price to Wall Street research analyst consensus estimated earnings per share for the calendar year 2026 (the "CY 2026E P/E"). The results of these analyses are summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Company**  | **CY 2026E <br> EV/EBITDA**  | **CY 2026E <br> P/E**  |
| Cirrus Logic, Inc.  | 9.8x | 17.5x |
| Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.  | 10.1x | 22.4x |
| Qorvo  | 10.0x | 13.4x |
| Qualcomm Incorporated  | 11.6x | 13.8x |
| Skyworks  | 11.9x | 16.7x |

---

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Based on the results of this analysis and other factors that Centerview considered appropriate based on its experience and professional judgment, for purposes of its analysis Centerview selected a reference range of enterprise value to calendar year 2026 estimated EBITDA multiples of 9.0x to 11.0x and a reference range of calendar year 2026 estimated price to earnings per share of 13.0x to 17.0x. In selecting these reference ranges, Centerview made qualitative judgments based on its experience and professional judgment concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Qorvo and the Selected Qorvo Trading Companies that could affect the public trading values in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

From this analysis, Centerview then applied the multiple reference range of 9.0x to 11.0x to Qorvo's estimated EBITDA for calendar year 2026 as provided in the Qorvo Forecasts to derive a range of implied enterprise values for Qorvo. Centerview then divided these implied equity values by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking into account the dilutive impact of restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Qorvo Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Qorvo Common Stock.

Centerview also applied the multiple reference range of 13.0x to 17.0x to Qorvo's estimated net income for the calendar year 2026 as provided in the Qorvo Forecasts. Centerview then divided these implied equity values by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking into account the dilutive impact of restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Qorvo Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Qorvo Common Stock.

The results of this analysis are summarized below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Implied Equity Value Per <br> Share of Qorvo Stock**  |
| 2026E EV/EBITDA  | $88.15 – $108.78 |
| 2026E P/E  | $93.77 – $122.62 |

---

Centerview then compared these ranges to the value of Merger Consideration of $103.58 per share of Qorvo Common Stock implied by the closing price of Skyworks Common Stock on October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions).

 *Discounted Cash Flow Analysis* 

Centerview performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Qorvo based on the Qorvo Forecast. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset or set of assets by calculating the "present value" of estimated future cash flows of the asset or set of assets. "Present value" refers to the current value of future cash flows and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

In performing this analysis, Centerview calculated a range of illustrative equity values for Qorvo by discounting to present value as of October 24, 2025 (using discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 15.0% based on Centerview's analysis of Qorvo's weighted average cost of capital, determined using the capital asset pricing model and based on considerations that Centerview deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience and using a mid-year convention): (a) the forecasted after tax unlevered free cash flows of Qorvo over the period beginning on October 1, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2030, as set forth in the Qorvo Forecasts and (b) a range of implied terminal values of Qorvo at the end of the forecast period shown in the Qorvo Forecasts, applying a range of terminal multiples to Qorvo's projected EBITDA for the 12 months ending December 31, 2031, ranging from 9.0x to 11.0x. Centerview then (i) subtracted from this range Qorvo's estimated debt as of September 30, 2025, and (ii) added Qorvo's cash as of September 30, 2025, in each case as set forth in the Qorvo Internal Data.

Centerview then divided the result of the foregoing calculations by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Qorvo Internal Data and as set forth in the Qorvo Internal Data, resulting in an implied

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

per share equity value range for the shares of Qorvo Common Stock of $92.47 to $116.60 per share. Centerview then compared this range the value of the Merger Consideration of $103.58 per share of Qorvo Common Stock implied by the closing price of Skyworks Common Stock on October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions).

#### Skyworks Financial Analyses
 *Skyworks Selected Public Trading Analysis* 

Centerview reviewed and compared certain financial information, ratios and multiples for Skyworks to corresponding financial information, ratios and multiples for publicly traded companies Centerview deemed comparable, based on its experience and professional judgment, to Skyworks (the "Selected Skyworks Trading Companies"). The Selected Skyworks Trading Companies consisted of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Cirrus Logic, Inc.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qorvo; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qualcomm Incorporated.

Although none of the Selected Skyworks Trading Companies is directly comparable to Skyworks, these companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies with certain operational and financial characteristics that, for purposes of its analyses, Centerview considered to be similar to those of Skyworks. However, because none of the Selected Skyworks Trading Companies is exactly the same as Skyworks, Centerview believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected public trading analysis. Accordingly, Centerview also made qualitative judgments, based on its experience and professional judgment, concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Skyworks and the Selected Skyworks Trading Companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

Using publicly available filings and information obtained from regulatory filings and other data sources and closing stock prices as of October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions), Centerview calculated, for each Selected Skyworks Trading Company: (a) CY 2026E EV/EBITDA and (b) CY 2026E P/E. The results of these analyses are summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Company**  | **CY 2026E <br> EV/EBTIDA**  | **CY 2026E <br> P/E**  |
| Cirrus Logic, Inc.  | 9.8x | 17.5x |
| Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.  | 10.1x | 22.4x |
| Qorvo  | 10.0x | 13.4x |
| Qualcomm Incorporated  | 11.6x | 13.8x |
| Skyworks  | 11.9x | 16.7x |

---

Based on the results of this analysis and other factors that Centerview considered appropriate based on its experience and professional judgment, for purposes of its analysis Centerview selected a reference range of enterprise value to calendar year 2026 estimated EBITDA multiples of 9.0x to 11.0x and a reference range of calendar year 2026 estimated price to earnings per share of 13.0x to 17.0x. In selecting these reference ranges, Centerview made qualitative judgments based on its experience and professional judgment concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Skyworks and the Selected Skyworks Trading Companies that could affect the public trading values in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

From this analysis, Centerview then applied the multiple reference range of 9.0x to 11.0x to Skyworks' estimated EBITDA for calendar year 2026 as provided in the Skyworks Forecasts to derive a range of implied enterprise values for Skyworks. Centerview then divided these implied equity values by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

into account the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Skyworks Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Skyworks Common Stock.

Centerview also applied the multiple reference range of 13.0x to 17.0x to Skyworks' estimated net income for the calendar year 2026 as provided in the Skyworks Forecasts. Centerview then divided these implied equity values by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking into account the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Skyworks Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Skyworks Common Stock.

The results of this analysis are summarized below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Implied Equity Value Per <br> Share of Qorvo Stock**  |
| 2026E EV/EBITDA  | $67.80 – $82.32 |
| 2026E P/E  | $59.29 – $77.53 |

 *Discounted Cash Flow Analysis* 

Centerview performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Skyworks based on the Skyworks Forecasts.

In performing this analysis, Centerview calculated a range of illustrative equity values for Skyworks by discounting to present value as of October 24, 2025 (using discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 15.0% based on Centerview's analysis of Skyworks' weighted average cost of capital, determined using the capital asset pricing model and based on considerations that Centerview deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience and using a mid-year convention): (a) the forecasted after tax unlevered free cash flows of Skyworks over the period beginning on October 1, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2030, as set forth in the Skyworks Forecasts and (b) a range of implied terminal values of Skyworks at the end of the forecast period shown in the Skyworks Forecasts, applying a range of terminal multiples to Skyworks' projected EBITDA for the 12 months ending December 31, 2031, ranging from 9.0x to 11.0x. Centerview then (i) subtracted from this range Skyworks' estimated debt as of September 30, 2025, and (ii) added Skyworks' cash as of September 30, 2025, in each case as set forth in the Skyworks Internal Data.

Centerview then divided the result of the foregoing calculations by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking into account the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Skyworks Internal Data, resulting in a an implied per share equity value range for the shares of Skyworks Common Stock of $75.23 to $95.21 per share.

#### Relative Value Analysis
Based upon a comparison of the range of implied equity values for each of Qorvo and Skyworks calculated pursuant to each of the selected public companies analyses and selected discounted cash flow analyses described above, Centerview calculated ranges of implied exchange ratios for the transaction, on a cash-adjusted basis with the Qorvo equity value contribution decreased by the cash consideration of $32.50 per share. With respect to any given range of cash-adjusted exchange ratios, the higher ratio assumes the highest implied value per share of Qorvo Common Stock divided by the lowest implied value per share of Skyworks Common Stock, and the lower ratio assumes the lowest implied value per share of Qorvo Common Stock divided by the highest implied value per share of Skyworks Common Stock. Centerview's analysis indicated the following implied ranges of cash-adjusted exchange ratios:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Valuation Metric**  | **Implied Cash- <br> Adjusted <br> Exchange Ratio**  |
| Selected Trading Company Analysis (CY 2026E Enterprise Value/EBITDA)  | 0.676x to 1.125x  |
| Selected Trading Company Analysis (CY 2026E Price/Earnings)  | 0.790x to 1.520x  |
| Discounted Cash Flow Analysis  | 0.630x to 1.118x  |

---

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Centerview compared the implied ranges of cash-adjusted exchange ratios to the Exchange Ratio.

#### Other Factors
Centerview noted for the Qorvo Board certain additional factors solely for reference and informational purposes only, including, among other things, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *Historical Stock Trading Price Analysis*. Centerview reviewed the stock price performance of Qorvo Common Stock for the 52-week period ended October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions). Centerview noted that the range of low and high closing prices of Qorvo Common Stock during the prior 52-week period was $50.81 to $100.48, as compared to the value of the Merger Consideration of $103.58 per share of Qorvo Common Stock implied by the closing price of Skyworks Common Stock on October 24, 2025. Centerview also reviewed the stock price performance of Skyworks Common Stock for the 52-week period ended October 24, 2025. Centerview noted that the range of low and high closing prices of Skyworks Common Stock during the prior 52-week period was $49.20 to $98.03.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *Analyst Price Target Analysis*. Centerview reviewed stock price targets for shares of Qorvo Common Stock in 17 publicly available Wall Street research analyst reports as of October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions). Centerview noted that the analyst stock price targets in such research analyst reports ranged from $75.00 to $125.00 per share of Qorvo Common Stock, as compared to the Merger Consideration $103.58 per share of Qorvo Common Stock implied by the closing price of Skyworks Common Stock on October 24, 2025. Centerview also reviewed stock price targets for Skyworks Common Stock reflected in 16 publicly available Wall Street research analyst reports as of October 24, 2025 (the last full trading day prior to the date on which the Qorvo Board met to approve the Transactions). Centerview noted that the analyst stock price targets in such research analyst reports ranged from $58.00 to $85.00 per share of Skyworks Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis.* Centerview reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected completed transactions since 2014 involving target companies with operations in the semiconductor sector that Centerview deemed comparable, based on its professional judgment and experience, to the Transactions. For each of these selected precedent transactions, Centerview calculated and analyzed enterprise value based on transaction price as a multiple of the target company's Wall Street research analyst consensus estimated next 12 months EBITDA (an "EV/NTM EBITDA").

Based upon the multiples for the selected precedent transactions and Centerview's professional judgment and experience, Centerview selected an EV/NTM EBITDA reference range for Qorvo of 8.5x to 14.0x, and applied such multiples to Qorvo's EBITDA for the next 12 months, based on the Qorvo Forecast, to obtain an approximate implied enterprise value reference range. Centerview then divided these approximate implied enterprise value reference range by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking into account the dilutive impact of restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding as of October 24, 2025, as directed by Qorvo management and as set forth in the Qorvo Internal Data, to derive a range of approximate implied equity values per share of Qorvo Common Stock of $80.80 to $136.09.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *"Has" / "Gets" Analysis (Market Value Basis)*. Centerview compared the implied stand-alone equity value of Qorvo to the pro forma equity value attributable to Qorvo stockholders after giving effect to the Transactions, including the Synergies, in each case based on the current market capitalization of Qorvo and Skyworks. In performing this illustrative "has / gets" value creation analysis, Centerview calculated the implied equity value of the Combined Company on a pro forma basis by adding: (a) the market capitalization of Qorvo as of October 24, 2025, (b) the market capitalization of Skyworks as of October 24, 2025, and (c) the net present value of the Synergies (on a capitalized basis adjusted to exclude certain expenses and calculated using a blend of price-to-earnings multiples applied to Qorvo and Skyworks). Centerview then subtracted the $3.0 billion in cash that is payable to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock. This analysis resulted in an implied equity value for the Combined Company on a pro forma basis of approximately $22.9 billion.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Centerview then multiplied this implied pro forma equity value by 37.5%, representing the Qorvo stockholders' pro forma ownership of the Combined Company to imply a pro forma equity value attributable to the Qorvo stockholders of approximately $8.6 billion, or $88.00 per share of Qorvo Common Stock, rounded to the nearest $1.00. Centerview then added the $3.0 billion in cash that is payable to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock to imply an aggregate pro forma equity value attributable to the Qorvo stockholders of approximately $11.6 billion, or $120.00 per share of Qorvo Common Stock, rounded to the nearest $1.00. This analysis implied accretion to the Qorvo stockholders as a result of the Transactions of 33% as compared to Qorvo's stand-alone value. Centerview also noted that, if the earnings of Qorvo, the earnings of Skyworks and the Synergies were capitalized using Skyworks' current price-to-earnings multiple, this analysis would imply a pro forma equity value attributable to the Qorvo stockholders of approximately $12.3 billion, or $129.00 per share of Qorvo Common Stock, rounded to the nearest $1.00, which implies accretion to the Qorvo stockholders as a result of the Transactions of 41% as compared to Qorvo's stand-alone value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *"Has" / "Gets" Analysis (Discounted Cash Flow Basis)*. Centerview also performed a "has / gets" analysis based on Centerview's discounted cash flow analyses. To perform this analysis, Centerview calculated the implied equity value of the Combined Company on a pro forma basis by adding: (a) Qorvo's implied stand-alone equity value, as of October 24, 2025, using the discounted cash flow analysis described above, (b) Skyworks' implied stand-alone equity value, as of October 24, 2025, using the discounted cash flow analysis described above, and (c) the net present value of the Synergies as adjusted to exclude certain costs and expenses. Centerview then subtracted the $3.0 billion in cash that is payable to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock. This analysis resulted in an implied equity value for the Combined Company on a pro forma basis of approximately $23.4 billion. Centerview then multiplied this implied pro forma equity value by 37.5%, representing the Qorvo stockholders' pro forma ownership of the Combined Company to imply a pro forma equity value attributable to the Qorvo stockholders of approximately $8.8 billion, or $91.00 per share of Qorvo Common Stock, rounded to the nearest $1.00. Centerview then added the $3.0 billion in cash that is payable to holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock to imply an aggregate pro forma equity value attributable to the Qorvo stockholders of approximately $11.8 billion, or $124.00 per share of Qorvo Common Stock, rounded to the nearest $1.00. This analysis implied accretion to the Qorvo stockholders as a result of the Transactions of 19.0%, rounded to the nearest 1%, as compared to Qorvo's stand-alone value.

#### General
The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Centerview did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any factor or analysis that it considered. Rather, Centerview made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses.

Centerview's financial analyses and opinion were only one of many factors taken into consideration by the Qorvo Board in its evaluation of the Transactions. Consequently, the analyses described above should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Qorvo Board or management of Qorvo with respect to the Merger Consideration or as to whether the Qorvo Board would have been willing to determine that a different consideration was fair. The consideration for the Transactions was determined through arm's-length negotiations between Qorvo and Skyworks and was approved by the Qorvo Board. Centerview provided advice to Qorvo during these negotiations. Centerview did not, however recommend any specific amount of consideration to Qorvo or the Qorvo Board or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transactions.

Centerview is a securities firm engaged directly and through affiliates and related persons in a number of investment banking, financial advisory and merchant banking activities. In the two (2) years prior to the date of its written opinion, Centerview was engaged to provide financial advisory services to Qorvo in connection with certain strategic matters, and Centerview received $3.5 million in compensation from Qorvo

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

for such services (the "Centerview Advisory Fee"), which will be credited against the transaction fee payable upon consummation of the Transactions. In the two (2) years prior to the date of its written opinion, Centerview had not been engaged to provide financial advisory or other services to Skyworks, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II, and Centerview did not receive any compensation from Skyworks, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II during such period. Centerview may provide financial advisory or other services to or with respect to Qorvo or Skyworks or their respective affiliates in the future, for which Centerview may receive compensation. Certain (a) of Centerview's and Centerview's affiliates' directors, officers, members and employees, or family members of such persons, (b) of Centerview's affiliates or related investment funds and (c) investment funds or other persons in which any of the foregoing may have financial interests or with which they may co-invest, may at any time acquire, hold, sell or trade, in debt, equity and other securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of, or investments in, Qorvo, Skyworks or any of their respective affiliates, or any other party that may be involved in the transaction.

The Qorvo Board selected Centerview as its financial advisor in connection with the Transactions based on Centerview's qualifications, reputation, experience and familiarity with Qorvo and the Qorvo Board's determination that Centerview lacked any conflicts with Skyworks. Centerview is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Transactions.

In connection with Centerview's services as the financial advisor to the Qorvo Board, Qorvo has agreed to pay Centerview an aggregate fee that is estimated, based on information available as of the date of announcement of the parties' execution of the Merger Agreement, at $74 million, $6 million of which was payable upon the rendering of Centerview's opinion, and the balance of which, less the Centerview Advisory Fee, is payable contingent upon consummation of the transaction. In addition, Qorvo has agreed to reimburse certain of Centerview's expenses arising, and to indemnify Centerview against certain liabilities that may arise, out of Centerview's engagement.

***Board of Directors***. Immediately following the Effective Time, the number of directors that comprise the full Skyworks Board will be eleven (11) directors and will consist of: (a) the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (who will be the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks as of immediately after the Effective Time); (b) seven (7) directors designated by the Skyworks Board; and (c) three (3) directors designated by the Qorvo Board, each of which must be reasonably acceptable to Skyworks.

#### Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

#### Skyworks Director Independence
Each year, the Skyworks Board reviews the relationships that each director has with Skyworks and with other parties. Only those directors who do not have any of the categorical relationships that preclude them from being independent within the meaning of the applicable Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Nasdaq Rules") and who the Skyworks Board affirmatively determines have no relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director are considered to be independent directors. The Skyworks Board has reviewed a number of factors to evaluate the independence of each of its members. These factors include its members' current and historic relationships with Skyworks and its competitors, suppliers, and customers; their relationships with management and other directors; the relationships their current and former employers have with Skyworks; and the relationships between Skyworks and other companies of which a member of the Skyworks' Board is a director or executive officer. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of the Combined Company is expected to consist of, among other individuals who have not been determined as of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, each of Phil Brace and Robert Bruggeworth. After evaluating these and other factors, the Board has determined that Mr. Brace is not an independent director of Skyworks, and that neither Mr. Brace nor Mr. Bruggeworth will be an independent director of the Combined Company within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Rules as of the Effective Time. The parties expect that the Combined Company board of directors will be comprised of a majority of independent directors within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Rules.

#### Certain Skyworks Relationships and Related Person Transactions
The information under Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, under the heading "*Certain Relationships and Related Transactions*" of Skyworks' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024, as amended, is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The information under Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, under the heading "*Certain Relationships and Related Transactions*" of Skyworks' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, as amended, is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, since October 1, 2022, there has not been a transaction or series of related transactions to which Skyworks was or is a party involving an amount in excess of $120,000 and in which Mr. Brace, Mr. Bruggeworth, or any member of their respective immediate families had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The Skyworks Board has adopted a written related person transaction approval policy that sets forth Skyworks' policies and procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of any transaction required to be reported in its filings with the SEC. Skyworks' policy with regard to related person

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

transactions is that all related person transactions between Skyworks and any related person (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) or their affiliates, in which the amount involved is equal to or greater than $120,000, be reviewed by Skyworks' General Counsel and approved by the Audit Committee. In addition, Skyworks' Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that employees discuss with Skyworks' Compliance Officer any significant relationship (or transaction) that might raise doubt about such employee's ability to act in the best interest of Skyworks. See also "— *Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*."

#### Interests of Skyworks Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers
In considering the recommendation of the Skyworks Board to vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers and Skyworks Stock Issuance, holders of Skyworks Common Stock should be aware that the directors and executive officers of Skyworks may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of Skyworks Common Stock generally that may create potential conflicts of interests. The Skyworks Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger Agreement, and in recommending to holders of Skyworks Common Stock that they vote to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance. See "*The Mergers — Skyworks' Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the Skyworks Board of Directors*" and "— *Background of the Mergers*."

These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative and in the section entitled "— *Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Skyworks' Named Executive Officers, Other Executive Officers and Non-Employee Directors in Connection with the Mergers*" beginning on page [137](#tQPPB5). The Mergers will not constitute a "change in control" for purposes of Skyworks' compensation arrangements, and no payments are contingent upon or in connection with the Mergers, except as specifically noted below in "— *Treatment of Skyworks Equity Awards*."

For the purposes of this disclosure, Skyworks' named executive officers, which also comprise Skyworks' current executive officers, who have interests in the Mergers are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Philip Brace — Chief Executive Officer and President

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Philip Carter — Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Reza Kasnavi — Executive Vice President, Chief Operations and Technology Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Robert J. Terry — Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Karilee Durham — Senior Vice President, Human Resources

For the purposes of this disclosure, Skyworks' non-employee directors are Christine King, Alan S. Batey, Kevin L. Beebe, Eric J. Guerin, Suzanne E. McBride, David P. McGlade, Robert A. Schriesheim, and Maryann Turcke.

For the purposes of this disclosure, these interests include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • some members of the Skyworks Board will remain on the Skyworks Board following the Closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Philip Brace, the current Skyworks chief executive officer, would be the chief executive officer of the Combined Company following the Mergers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • executive officers of Skyworks may remain executive officers of the Combined Company.

None of Skyworks' directors or executive officers are party to or participates in any plan, program, or arrangement that provides such director or executive officer with any kind of compensation that is based on or otherwise related to the consummation of the Mergers except as set forth below under "— *Treatment of Skyworks Equity Awards*."

The information set forth in this section is intended to comply with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as it relates to the disclosure of certain information about compensation for Skyworks' named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the consummation of the Mergers.

Skyworks' other named executive officers for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025 are Liam K. Griffin (Former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President), Kris Sennesael (Former Senior Vice President

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

and Chief Financial Officer) and Robert A. Schriesheim (Former Interim Chief Financial Officer). Former executive officers Liam K. Griffin and Kris Sennesael have no interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of Skyworks Common Stock generally. Robert A. Schriesheim's interests in the Mergers are limited to those from his role as non-employee director and do not include any interests as an executive officer.

#### Treatment of Skyworks Equity Awards in Connection with the Mergers
The consummation of the Mergers will not constitute a "change in control" under the change in control agreements between Skyworks and its executive officers or under Skyworks' equity incentive plans and underlying equity award agreements. Equity-based awards under Skyworks' equity plans will remain outstanding and continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions that applied prior to the consummation of the Mergers, except that (i) if the employment of an executive officer, including a named executive officer, is terminated by Skyworks other than for "cause" or the executive resigns for "good reason" (as such term is defined in their then-applicable change in control agreement), in either case, within 18 months following the Closing and in connection with the Mergers, each such Skyworks equity award (other than the award of 455,028 performance shares granted to Skyworks' CEO on February 17, 2025 that can be earned based on the level of achievement of certain stock price hurdles during the period commencing on February 17, 2027 and ending February 17, 2031) will vest in full, provided that any performance-based measures, to the extent performance has not been determined as of the date of such termination, shall be deemed achieved at target level performance, and (ii) if the service of a non-employee director is terminated by Skyworks other than for "cause" (as defined in the Skyworks 2008 Amended and Restated Director Long-Term Incentive Plan, the "Skyworks Director LTIP") or the non-employee director resigns within 18 months following the Closing, each Skyworks equity award will vest in full upon such termination. See "— *Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Skyworks' Named Executive Officers, Other Executive Officers and Non-Employee Directors in Connection with the Mergers"* beginning on page [137](#tQPPB5) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for an estimate of the value of unvested Skyworks equity awards held by Skyworks' executive officers, including each named executive officer, and non-employee directors.

#### Other Skyworks Executive Officer Severance Entitlements
Each of Skyworks' executive officers other than Skyworks' chief executive officer participates in Skyworks' executive severance plan, which provides severance benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment both in connection with a change in control of Skyworks and unrelated to a change in control of Skyworks. Specifically, the plan provides for severance benefits in the event the executive officer's employment is terminated by Skyworks or the surviving company other than for "cause" or by the executive officer for "good reason" (each, as defined in the executive severance plan). The consummation of the Mergers will not constitute a "change in control" under the executive severance plan, and severance benefits related to a change in control would not therefore become payable in connection with the consummation of the Mergers. Additionally, with respect to severance benefits that are payable unrelated to the occurrence of a change in control, Skyworks' executive officers would be eligible for such severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated. Accordingly, the severance benefits under Skyworks' executive severance plan are not considered to be payable in connection with the Mergers.

Skyworks' chief executive officer, Philip Brace, is subject to a change in control severance agreement, which provides for severance benefits under circumstances similar to those outlined above for Skyworks' other executive officers under the executive severance plan. The consummation of the Mergers will not constitute a "change in control" under Mr. Brace's agreement, and severance benefits related to a change in control would not therefore become payable in connection with the consummation of the Mergers. With respect to severance benefits that are payable under the agreement unrelated to the occurrence of a change in control, Mr. Brace would be eligible for such severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated. Severance benefits under Mr. Brace's change in control severance agreement are not therefore considered to be payable in connection with the Mergers.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Skyworks Retention Plan
In connection with the Mergers, Skyworks expects to adopt a retention plan to provide certain employees of Skyworks with retention incentives (the "Skyworks Retention Plan"), and expects to approve the grant of retention awards under the Skyworks Retention Plan to certain key employees.

Certain executive officers may receive a grant of restricted stock units pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Skyworks 2015 LTIP"). The awards will vest over three years, with 50% vesting after one year and the remaining vesting annually over the next two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a recipient's employment is terminated by Skyworks without "cause" (as defined in the Skyworks 2015 LTIP) prior to a vesting date, the retention award will vest in full upon such termination of employment, subject to the recipient's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of Skyworks and its affiliates.

As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Skyworks does not intend to grant retention awards to executive officers.

#### Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Skyworks' Named Executive Officers, Other Executive Officers and Non-Employee Directors in Connection with the Mergers
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of "golden parachute" compensation (on a pre-tax basis) for purposes of Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K that each named executive officer, other executive officer and non-employee director of Skyworks could receive in connection with the Mergers, using the following assumptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The date of the public announcement of the Mergers on October 28, 2025 is the closing date of the Mergers (which is the assumed date solely for purposes of this golden parachute compensation disclosure);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Each applicable executive officer or non-employee director will experience a qualifying termination immediately following the Mergers and as a result of the Mergers (which is assumed solely for purposes of this golden parachute compensation disclosure);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Each applicable executive officer's or non-employee director's outstanding equity awards are reflected as of October 28, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • A price per share of Skyworks Common Stock of $75.97 (the average closing market price of Skyworks Common Stock over the first five business days following the public announcement of the Mergers on October 28, 2025);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Acceleration of unvested service-based equity awards; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Accelerated unvested equity awards subject to performance-based measures, to the extent performance has not been determined as of the date of the qualifying termination, will be deemed achieved at target level performance.

The calculations in the table do not include amounts that Skyworks' named executive officers, other executive officers and non-employee directors were already entitled to receive or vested in as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The calculations in the table also do not include amounts that do not relate to the Mergers, including the value of severance described above for executive officers, which becomes payable upon certain qualifying terminations of employment unrelated to a change in control of Skyworks. In addition, these amounts do not attempt to forecast any additional equity award grants, issuances or forfeitures that may occur, or future dividends or dividend equivalents that may be accrued, prior to the completion of the Mergers. As a result of the foregoing assumptions, which may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by a named executive officer may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

(1) The amounts for named executive officers include the value of their unvested equity awards that would vest in the event of a qualifying termination within 18 months following the closing and in connection with the Mergers, with unvested equity awards that are subject to performance-based measures, to the extent performance has not been determined as of the date of the qualifying termination, presumed to be October 28, 2025 for purposes of this table, deemed achieved at target level performance. Such amounts are considered "double trigger" payments. The performance measures applicable to certain equity awards were determined after October 28, 2025, but prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If the performance-based measures applicable to such equity awards were instead determined at actual performance, as determined for applicable awards after October 28, 2025, the aggregate values would be for Mr. Brace, $9,540,342; for Mr. Carter, $4,921,685; for Mr. Kasnavi, $7,689,430; for Mr. Terry, $5,883,871; and for Ms. Durham, $4,389,847. Skyworks' non-employee directors do not receive equity awards with performance-based measures.

(2) The employment of Liam Griffin, Skyworks' former chairman, chief executive officer and president, sales and marketing, terminated on February 4, 2025, pursuant to the terms of a separation agreement with Skyworks and unrelated to the contemplated mergers. The employment of Kris Sennesael, Skyworks' former senior vice president and chief financial officer, terminated on May 7, 2025, pursuant to the terms of a separation agreement with Skyworks and unrelated to the contemplated mergers. Both Mr. Griffin and Mr. Sennesael will not receive any compensation or benefits in connection with the consummation of the Mergers or otherwise related to the contemplated Mergers. The employment of Robert Schriesheim as the former interim CFO of Skyworks terminated on September 8, 2025, and his interests in the mergers are limited to those from his role as a non-employee director and do not include any interests as an executive officer. As a non-employee director, if Mr. Schriesheim's service is terminated by Skyworks other than for "cause" (as defined in the Skyworks Director LTIP) or he resigns within 18 months following the Closing, each Skyworks equity award held by him will vest in full upon such termination with an aggregate value of $278,354.

#### Share Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Directors and Executive Officers of Skyworks
To Skyworks' knowledge, the following table and the related notes set forth the beneficial ownership of Skyworks Common Stock as of December 15, 2025, by the following individuals or entities: (i) each person or entity who beneficially owns five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock; (ii) each of Skyworks' named executive officers; (iii) each of Skyworks' current directors; and (iv) all current executive officers and directors of Skyworks as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose, and does not constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. As of December 15, 2025, there were 149,930,237 shares of Skyworks Common Stock issued and outstanding.

#### Interests of Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers
In considering the recommendation of the Qorvo Board to vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal, holders of Qorvo Common Stock should be aware that the directors and executive officers of Qorvo may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of Qorvo Common Stock generally and that may create potential conflicts of interest. The Qorvo Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger Agreement, and in recommending to holders of Qorvo Common Stock that they vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal.

These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative below, including compensation that may become payable in connection with the Mergers to Qorvo's named executive officers (which is the subject of a non-binding advisory vote of Qorvo stockholders). For more

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

information, please *see* "*Qorvo Proposals — Proposal 2: The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal*." The Mergers will constitute a "change in control" for purposes of the Qorvo executive compensation plans and agreements described below.

For purposes of this disclosure, Qorvo's named executive officers who have interests in the Mergers are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Robert A. Bruggeworth — President and Chief Executive Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Grant A. Brown — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Philip Chesley — Senior Vice President and President of High Performance Analog

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Steven E. Creviston — Senior Vice President and President of Connectivity and Sensors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Paul J. Fego — Senior Vice President of Global Operations

In accordance with SEC rules, this disclosure also covers individuals who are not named executive officers, who served as executive officers of Qorvo at any time since January 1, 2024, and who have interests in the Mergers. Accordingly, for purposes of this disclosure, Qorvo's executive officers who are not named executive officers are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Gina Harrison — Vice President and Corporate Controller, Principal Accounting Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Frank Stewart — Senior Vice President and President of Advanced Cellular

For purposes of this disclosure, Qorvo's non-employee directors are Walden C. Rhines, Judy Bruner, Richard L. Clemmer, Peter A. Feld, John R. Harding, Christopher R. Koopmans, Alan S. Lowe, Roderick D. Nelson and Susan L. Spradley.

#### Certain Assumptions
Except as otherwise specifically noted, for purposes of quantifying the potential payments and benefits described in this section, the following assumptions were used:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • each of Qorvo's executive officers will experience a "Qualifying Termination" within the "Termination Period" under his or her change in control agreement with Qorvo;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the relevant price per share of Qorvo Common Stock is $93.50 (the average closing price of Qorvo Common Stock over the first five business days following the public announcement of the Mergers on October 28, 2025), rounded to the nearest cent (the "Estimated Qorvo Stock Price"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • performance goals applicable to Qorvo RSU Awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions (the "Qorvo PBRSU Awards") are deemed achieved at actual achievement of the performance goals applicable to such Qorvo PBRSU Awards as of October 28, 2025.

The amounts indicated below are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described above, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before consummation of the Mergers.

#### Treatment of Outstanding Qorvo Equity Awards
 *Treatment of Outstanding Qorvo Equity Awards Pursuant to the Merger Agreement* 

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Qorvo RSU Award that is an Accelerated Qorvo RSUs will be canceled in consideration for the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Qorvo Common Stock that was subject to such Accelerated Qorvo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) an amount in cash equal to all dividend equivalents, if any, accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time with respect to each such Accelerated Qorvo RSU. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Accelerated Qorvo RSUs that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (*i.e*., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined) will be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

achievement at target performance, subject to certain exceptions for individuals for whom achievement will be assumed at the greater of target performance and actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Qorvo RSU Awards will be assumed by Skyworks and converted automatically into an Adjusted RSU Award, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Qorvo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than performance-based vesting conditions, which will not apply following the Effective Time, with dividend equivalents continuing to accrue in respect of such Adjusted RSU Award and with all accrued dividend equivalents paid at such time as the Adjusted RSU Award is settled), except that the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock subject to the Adjusted RSU Award as of the Effective Time will be determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to the corresponding Unvested Qorvo RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (b) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares in the resulting product rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any such Unvested Qorvo RSU Award that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, including any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents, will be determined by assuming, in respect of such Unvested Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance, subject to certain exceptions for individuals for whom achievement will be assumed at the greater of target performance and actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event of a termination of employment of any holder of an Adjusted RSU Award by Skyworks, the Surviving Company or one of their affiliates without "cause" or by such holder with "good reason" (each as defined in the applicable Qorvo equity plan or equity award agreement), in each case within the eighteen (18)-month period following the Closing Date, any such Adjusted RSU Awards held by such holder will accelerate and vest in full.

#### Change in Control Agreements
Each Qorvo executive officer is party to a change in control agreement with Qorvo (as may be amended from time to time, the "Executive Change in Control Agreements").

The Executive Change in Control Agreement for Mr. Bruggeworth (the "Bruggeworth Change in Control Agreement") provides that, in the event that Mr. Bruggeworth experiences a Qualifying Termination (which is defined as a termination of Mr. Bruggeworth's employment by Qorvo for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in the Bruggeworth Change in Control Agreement), due to Mr. Bruggeworth's death or disability, or by Mr. Bruggeworth for Good Reason (each as defined in the Bruggeworth Change in Control Agreement)) during the twenty-four (24)-month period following a change in control of Qorvo (and, in the case of a termination without Cause, including the ninety (90)-day period preceding the change in control (the "Bruggeworth Termination Period")), then, subject to Mr. Bruggeworth's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims against Qorvo and its affiliates, Qorvo will be obligated to pay Mr. Bruggeworth (a) Mr. Bruggeworth's annual bonus for the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurred, prorated for the number of days Mr. Bruggeworth remained employed during the applicable fiscal year and paid at target performance, (b) a lump-sum severance payment equal to two (2) times the sum of Mr. Bruggeworth's annual base salary and annual bonus target, (c) if Mr. Bruggeworth timely and properly elects coverage under Qorvo's health plan pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), payment of or reimbursement to Mr. Bruggeworth for the difference between the monthly COBRA premium actually paid by Mr. Bruggeworth for the level of continuation coverage elected and the monthly premium required to be paid by active employees for the same level of coverage under the Qorvo health plan (the "COBRA Continuation") until the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of Mr. Bruggeworth's Qualifying Termination, (ii) the date Mr. Bruggeworth is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage and (iii) the date on which Mr. Bruggeworth receives substantially similar coverage from a subsequent employer, (d) a lump sum payment equal to the amount necessary to pay any federal, state or other tax imposed as a result of the COBRA Continuation (the "COBRA Gross-Up Payment") and (e) accelerated vesting of all Qorvo RSU Awards that are outstanding as of the date of the Qualifying Termination, with the performance conditions applicable to any Qorvo PBRSU Awards being deemed met at target performance; provided, however, that such Qorvo PBRSU Awards will be deemed met at the greater of target and actual performance, as measured through the date of the Change in Control, in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

The Executive Change in Control Agreements for each executive officer other than Mr. Bruggeworth provide that, in the event that the executive officer experiences a Qualifying Termination (which is generally defined in each Executive Change in Control Agreement (other than the Bruggeworth Change in Control Agreement) to mean a termination of the executive officer's employment by Qorvo without Cause or by the executive officer with Good Reason (each as defined in the applicable Executive Change in Control Agreement)) within the period commencing ninety (90) days prior and ending twenty-four (24) months following a change in control of Qorvo (the "Executive Termination Period", and either a Bruggeworth Termination Period or an Executive Termination Period, a "Termination Period"), then, subject to the executive officer's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims against Qorvo and its affiliates, Qorvo will be obligated to pay the executive officer (a) the executive officer's annual bonus for the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurred, prorated for the number of days the executive officer remained employed during the applicable fiscal year and paid at target performance, (b) a lump-sum severance payment equal to one and a half (1.5) times the sum of the executive officer's annual base salary and annual bonus target (or, for Mr. Brown, two (2) times), (c) COBRA Continuation until the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months from the date of the executive officer's Qualifying Termination, (ii) the date the executive officer is no longer eligible to receive COBRA Continuation coverage and (iii) the date on which the executive officer receives substantially similar coverage from a subsequent employer, (c) the COBRA Gross-Up Payment and (d) accelerated vesting of all Qorvo RSU Awards that are outstanding as of the date of the Qualifying Termination, with the performance conditions applicable to any Qorvo PBRSU Awards being deemed met at the greater of target and actual performance as measured through the date of the Change in Control.

See "— *Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Qorvo's Named Executive Officers, Other Executive Officers and Non-Employee Directors in Connection with the Mergers*" beginning on page [145](#tQPPB4) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for the estimated amounts that each of Qorvo's named executive officers would receive under their Executive Change in Control Agreement upon a Qualifying Termination within the Termination Period.

#### Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Each of Qorvo's executive officers is eligible to participate in the Amended and Restated Qorvo 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Qorvo ESPP"). Pursuant to the Terms of the Merger Agreement, Qorvo will take any actions with respect to the Qorvo ESPP to ensure that (i) any offering period or purchase period (as such terms are defined in the Qorvo ESPP) in effect as of the last payroll date occurring prior to the Closing will be shortened by setting a new exercise date (within the meaning of the Qorvo ESPP) in respect of such offering or purchase period, as applicable, that is no later than the last payroll date occurring prior to the Closing, (ii) as of the new exercise date, the Qorvo ESPP will be suspended and no offering or purchase periods shall commence after such final offering period and no further payroll deductions or other contributions will be made or effected with respect to the Qorvo ESPP and (iii) subject to the consummation of the Mergers, the Qorvo ESPP will terminate as of immediately prior to the Closing.

#### Robert Bruggeworth Gross-Up Payment
Our Chief Executive Officer, Robert Bruggeworth, is party to an employment agreement with Qorvo which provides that, to the extent Mr. Bruggeworth receives payments in respect of a Change in Control and the aggregate of such payments would, more likely than not, cause Mr. Bruggeworth to be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, Qorvo (or its successor) will pay Mr. Bruggeworth an additional amount such that the net total amount Mr. Bruggeworth receives after payment of such excise tax equals the amount Mr. Bruggeworth would have received had the excise tax not been imposed (such payment, the "Bruggeworth Gross-Up Payment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate amount of such payments would not trigger the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code were they to be reduced by an amount less than 5%, then the payments will be so reduced and the Bruggeworth Gross-Up Payment will not be made. As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, it is not anticipated that any Bruggeworth Gross-Up Payment will be made in connection with the Mergers.

#### Qorvo Retention Plan
In connection with the Mergers, Qorvo has agreed to establish a cash-based retention plan (the "Qorvo Retention Plan"), under which Qorvo will grant retention awards to Qorvo employees who are determined

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

to be key to the consummation of the Mergers, including the executive officers, because the Qorvo Board recognized that the announcement of the Mergers and the uncertainty inherent in the transaction process created heightened retention risk. Retention awards will vest and be payable as to 60% of the retention award amount at the Effective Time and 40% of the retention award amount on the six (6)-month anniversary of the Effective Time, subject to continued employment through each such date, except that upon a termination of the participant's employment by Qorvo (or, following the Closing, Skyworks) without Cause by the awardee with Good Reason (each as defined in the participant's applicable service-related agreement governing the treatment of their Qorvo equity awards), the retention award will vest in full (subject to the participant's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of Qorvo and its affiliates).

As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Qorvo Compensation Committee has approved a retention award to Grant Brown in the amount of $986,226, and to other executive officers who are not named executive officers in the aggregate amount of $1,128,414 (together, the "Executive Retention Awards"). Qorvo determined that such awards were necessary and appropriate to promote stability, maintain continuity of leadership and incentivize Qorvo's executive officers to remain focused on Qorvo's business and the successful completion of the Mergers for the benefit of Qorvo's stockholders. In making this determination, Qorvo considered, among other factors, the fact that obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals may take a significant period of time.

On December 18, 2025, the Qorvo Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of payment of retention awards for Mr. Brown and an executive officer who is not a named executive officer into the 2025 calendar year for purposing of mitigating the impact of the application of Section 4999 of the Code in connection with the Mergers, which such awards will be subject to repayment by the executive upon the occurrence of an event as a result of which such payment (or portion thereof) would have been forfeited under its terms had such payment not been accelerated, as described above.

*See* "— *Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Qorvo's Named Executive Officers, Other Executive Officers and Non-Employee Directors in Connection with the Mergers*" beginning on page [145](#tQPPB4) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for the amount of each named executive officer's award under the retention bonus program.

#### Annual Bonus Payouts
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Effective Time occurs prior to the end of any performance period under Qorvo's annual incentive plans and other variable compensation plans, with respect to any employee who is then employed and who participates in such plan, including Qorvo's executive officers, Qorvo may pay out amounts under such plans on a prorated basis assuming achievement of the applicable performance conditions at the greater of target and actual performance, as determined by the Qorvo Compensation Committee based on a good faith estimate of projected full-period results. In assessing performance, Qorvo may account for the Mergers and any costs and expenses associated with the Mergers or any nonrecurring charges that would not reasonably be expected to have been incurred by Qorvo and its subsidiaries had the Mergers not taken place. Further, under the existing Qorvo cash bonus plan, in which each of our executive officers participate, upon the occurrence of a change in control of Qorvo, all outstanding awards under such plan will be paid pro rata based on the portion of the performance period completed through the Closing.

#### Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Payouts
Qorvo maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under which certain executive officers and non-employee directors participate. Upon the Effective Time, the following individuals will receive a lump sum payment of their outstanding account balances in accordance with the terms of the plan, as follows: (i) Mr. Brown, $478,176; (ii) Mr. Stewart, $1,128,129 and (iii) Dr. Rhines, $1,565,719.

#### New Management Arrangements
As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, no Qorvo executive officer has entered into any agreement with Qorvo or Skyworks regarding employment after the Effective Time

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

(other than the Executive Retention Awards), although it is possible that Qorvo or Skyworks may enter into new employment or other arrangements with executive officers in the future.

#### Quantification of Qorvo Equity Awards

#### Indemnification and Insurance
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, from the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Skyworks will cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company to indemnify certain persons, including Qorvo's directors and executive officers. In addition, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Skyworks will maintain insurance policies for the benefit of certain persons, including Qorvo's directors and executive officers. For additional information, see "*The Merger Agreement — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Indemnification and Insurance*" beginning on page [145](#tIAIN5) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### Accounting Treatment of the Mergers
The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared on the basis that Skyworks, assuming receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals and consummation of the Mergers, will account for the Mergers as a purchase of Qorvo using the acquisition method pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the assets and liabilities of Qorvo are recorded at their fair value at the effective time of the Mergers. In addition, the total consideration, measured at the market price at the Effective Time, is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value is defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. Once requisite regulatory approvals are received, Skyworks will consolidate Qorvo prospectively.

The transaction accounting adjustments to the Pro Forma Financial Statements are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of presenting the pro forma financial statements, which are necessary to comply with applicable disclosure and reporting requirements. The allocation of the estimated consideration is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. Since the Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared based on preliminary estimates of consideration and fair values attributable to the purchase of Qorvo, the actual amounts eventually recorded for the purchase accounting, including the identifiable goodwill, may differ materially from the information presented.

#### Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers

#### HSR Act
Under the HSR Act, the Mergers may not be consummated until Skyworks and Qorvo each files a Notification and Report Form with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice ("<u>DOJ</u>") and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), and the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) has expired or been terminated. A transaction notifiable under the HSR Act may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-calendar-day waiting period following the parties' filings of their respective HSR Act notification and report forms. If the FTC or DOJ issues a request for additional information and documents (a "Second Request") prior to the expiration of the initial waiting period, Skyworks and Qorvo must observe a second 30-day waiting period that would begin to run only after both Skyworks and Qorvo have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier or Skyworks and Qorvo otherwise agree to extend the waiting period. Skyworks and Qorvo each filed an HSR notification with the FTC and the DOJ on December 4, 2025. Skyworks intends to withdraw its notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act by January 5, 2026 and refile no later than January 7, 2026. Upon refiling the notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act, the waiting period under the HSR Act will expire no later than February 6, 2026, unless extended by a request for additional information or documentary material. Skyworks and Qorvo have also submitted merger control filings in China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

At any time before or after consummation of the Mergers, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the FTC, the DOJ or any state could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Mergers, seeking divestiture of substantial assets of Skyworks and/or Qorvo, or seeking to require Skyworks and/or Qorvo to license or hold separate assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the Mergers will not be made or that, if a challenge is made, Skyworks and/or Qorvo will prevail. Additionally, the Merger Agreement sets forth

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

the parties' respective obligations with respect to obtaining required regulatory approvals, and there can be no assurances and, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the parties would, or would be able to, effect any such required remedies, or remedies sought by any other jurisdictions, which could result in the Transactions failing to be consummated.

 *Expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act is a closing condition as described in "The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Mergers — Conditions to Each Party's Obligation to Effect the Mergers"* 

#### Other Regulatory Approvals
Skyworks and Qorvo have also determined as of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to make notifications pursuant to antitrust and competition laws with the appropriate regulators in The People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan, and, subject to the occurrence of certain events, may make notifications in other jurisdictions in the future. The Mergers cannot be consummated until all applicable waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the Mergers under the antitrust laws in the relevant jurisdictions have expired or otherwise been terminated, or all requisite clearances, consents and approvals pursuant thereto have been obtained.

Skyworks and Qorvo have also determined as of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to make notifications pursuant to investment screening laws with the appropriate regulators in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom, and, subject to the occurrence of certain events, may make notifications in other jurisdictions in the future. The Mergers are also subject to the expiration or otherwise termination of the applicable review periods (and any extensions) under, or the receipt of approvals, clearances, consents and approvals under, the relevant investment screening laws in the relevant jurisdictions. In addition, relevant regulatory bodies could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the consummation of the Mergers or permitting consummation subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under regulatory laws under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the Mergers on regulatory grounds will not be made or that, if a challenge is made, Skyworks and/or Qorvo will prevail.

#### Exchange of Shares
The conversion of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (other than shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held (a) directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or (c) directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the Dissenting Shares) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will occur automatically at the Effective Time.

Prior to the Effective Time, Skyworks will designate an exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the purpose of exchanging book-entry shares and certificates representing shares of Qorvo Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. In addition, at or prior to the Effective Time, Skyworks will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (a) cash and (b) evidence of shares of Skyworks Common Stock, in amounts sufficient to deliver the Merger Consideration.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Exchange Agent will mail to each holder of record of a certificate or a book-entry share whose shares were converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, as applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a letter of transmittal (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the certificates or book-entry shares to the Exchange Agent, and which will be in such form and have such other provisions as determined by Skyworks); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates and book-entry shares in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

Upon surrender of a certificate or book-entry share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Skyworks, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such certificate or book-entry share will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that amount of Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the certificate or book-entry share so surrendered will forthwith be canceled. If any portion of the applicable Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered certificate or book-entry share is registered, it will be a condition to the registration of such Merger Consideration that (a) the surrendered certificate will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (b) the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration will pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such certificate or book-entry share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

Until surrendered as contemplated by the foregoing paragraph, each certificate or book-entry share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or will accrue for the benefit of holders of certificates or book-entry shares on the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of certificates or book-entry shares.

No dividends or other distributions with respect to Skyworks Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate or book-entry share with respect to any shares of Skyworks Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares will be paid to any such holder, in each case until the surrender of such certificate or book-entry share. Subject to the effect of applicable law, following surrender of any such certificate or book-entry share, there will be paid to the holder of shares of Skyworks Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (a) at the time of such surrender, (i) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and (ii) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Skyworks Common Stock.

If any certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Skyworks or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Skyworks or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Qorvo Common Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Skyworks Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

#### Debt Financing
 *Bridge Facility* 

In connection with the Mergers, Skyworks entered into the Commitment Letter, under which the Commitment Parties committed to provide $3.05 billion in an aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured bridge term loans, the availability of which is subject to mandatory commitment reductions upon the consummation of the Permanent Financing pursuant to the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter, for the purpose of the Bridge Facility.

The Bridge Facility will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date and the proceeds will be used, together with the Permanent Financing and cash on hand of Skyworks to pay, in the event Skyworks is unable to obtain the Permanent Financing in the full amount for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, financing the Qorvo Credit Agreement Refinancing, paying

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

related fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, to refinance certain of Qorvo's senior notes.

The terms of the Bridge Facility will be set forth in definitive loan documentation that will be based upon Skyworks' Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Skyworks Existing Credit Agreement"), by and among Skyworks, the borrowing subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent, as in effect on the date of the Commitment Letter, subject to the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter and specified documentation standards. The Bridge Facility will be subject to affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and other customary terms consistent with the specified documentation standards and the Skyworks Existing Credit Agreement. The Bridge Facility is also subject to a financial covenant requiring maintenance of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of the end of any fiscal quarter.

The Commitment Letter provides that voluntary prepayments of loans under the Bridge Facility may be made at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to the Commitment Parties' redeployment costs. In addition, on or prior to the Closing Date, the commitments under the Bridge Facility, and if after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date, the loans under the Bridge Facility, will be required to be reduced or prepaid, as applicable, with the net cash proceeds of asset sales or other dispositions of property or assets of Skyworks and its subsidiaries, subject to customary reinvestment rights, issuance, offerings or placements of debt or equity securities, subject to certain customary exceptions.

The commitments under Commitment Letter will automatically terminate on the earliest of (a) the execution of definitive documentation in respect of the Bridge Facility, (b) the date of the consummation of the Mergers, effective immediately following such consummation, with or without the use of any portion of the Bridge Facility, (c) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, (d) written notice from Skyworks of its election to terminate all commitments under the Bridge Facility in full and (e) five (5) business days after April 27, 2027 (or if such date is extended as provided in the Merger Agreement, such later date, subject to the limitations set forth in the Commitment Letter).

#### Termination of Qorvo's Existing Indebtedness
In connection with the Mergers, the parties intend to terminate and payoff the commitments under the Qorvo Credit Agreement (the "Qorvo Credit Agreement Termination").

In connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement Termination, Qorvo will submit to the administrative agent under the Qorvo Credit Agreement, a notice of termination (and, if applicable, prepayment) that will request the termination of all the commitments thereunder (and, if applicable, prepayment of all loans thereunder) on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent such prepayment and/or termination notices have not been waived (such notice may state that such termination and/or prepayment is condition on the substantially concurrent closing of the Mergers). Skyworks will cause (a) repayment in full of all principal, interest and fees due in connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement Termination and (b) all then-outstanding letters of credit issued under the Qorvo Credit Agreement to be canceled, backstopped, cash collateralized, replaced or rolled over (the "Qorvo Credit Agreement Refinancing").

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, Skyworks to facilitate the termination and payoff of the commitments under the Qorvo Credit Agreement at the Closing. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to use commercially reasonable efforts (but which efforts do not require Qorvo to commence any litigation or other adversarial proceedings against the lenders, arrangers or agents (or any other persons) under the Qorvo Credit Agreement), subject to the cooperation of the lenders thereunder, to obtain and deliver to Skyworks a customary payoff letter in connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qorvo is not required to cause any repayment, release or termination of the Qorvo Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Mergers, Skyworks may choose to assume all or a portion of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes, or Skyworks may seek to refinance those notes with new Skyworks indebtedness or otherwise. The terms and timing of any such transactions have not been determined as of December 23, 2025, the date of

------

this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This joint proxy statement/prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, or any notice of purchase or redemption with respect to, any debt securities of Qorvo or Skyworks and does not constitute a prospectus or prospectus equivalent or other offering document for any such securities.

#### Appraisal Rights in the Mergers

#### General
If the First Merger is consummated, Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners who do not vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, who properly demand appraisal of their shares of Qorvo Common Stock, and who continuously hold such shares from the making of such demand through the Effective Time may be entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL.

The following discussion is not a complete statement of the law pertaining to appraisal rights under the DGCL and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G and incorporated herein by reference. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice nor does it constitute a recommendation that Qorvo stockholders of record or beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. All references in Section 262 of the DGCL to a "stockholder" and all references in this "— *Appraisal Rights in the Mergers*" summary to a "Qorvo stockholder" or "holder of Qorvo Common Stock" are to the record holders of Qorvo Common Stock unless otherwise noted herein. All references herein to a "beneficial owner" mean a person or entity who is the beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock held either in voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person or entity unless otherwise expressly noted herein.

Any Qorvo stockholders or beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock contemplating the exercise of such appraisal rights should review carefully the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, particularly the procedural steps required to properly demand and perfect such rights. Failure to strictly follow the procedures required by Section 262 of the DGCL for demanding and perfecting appraisal rights may result in the loss of such rights. Under Section 262 of the DGCL, Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners who (a) submit a written demand for appraisal of their shares prior to the vote on the Merger Agreement and do not properly withdraw their demand, fail to perfect or otherwise lose their appraisal rights, in each case in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; (b) do not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal; (c) continuously are the record holders or beneficial owners of such shares from the date of making such demand through the Effective Time; (d) are entitled to demand appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL; and (e) otherwise follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may be entitled to have their shares appraised by the Court of Chancery and to receive payment in cash of the "fair value" of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, as determined by the Court of Chancery, together with interest to be paid upon the amount determined to be fair value, if any, as determined by the Court of Chancery. It is possible that any such "fair value" as determined by the Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as the Merger Consideration. However, because immediately before the Mergers, Qorvo Common Stock will be listed on a national exchange after an appraisal petition has been filed, the Court of Chancery will dismiss appraisal proceedings as to all Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (i) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock as measured in accordance with Section 262(g) of the DGCL or (ii) the value of the Merger Consideration for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million. At least one (1) of these "ownership thresholds" must be met in order for Qorvo stockholders of record or beneficial owners to be entitled to seek appraisal with respect to such shares of Qorvo Common Stock in connection with the First Merger. Unless the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest on an appraisal award will accrue and compound quarterly from the Effective Time through the date the judgment is paid at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during such period; provided, however, that at any time before the Court of Chancery enters judgment in the appraisal proceeding, the Surviving Company may pay to each Qorvo stockholder of record and beneficial owner entitled to appraisal an amount in cash (a "Voluntary Cash Payment"), in which case any such interest will accrue after the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

time of such payment only on the amount that equals the sum of (A) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the "fair value" of the shares as determined by the Court of Chancery and (B) interest accrued prior to the time of such cash payment, unless paid at such time. The Surviving Company is under no obligation to make such Voluntary Cash Payment before such entry of judgment.

 **Under Section 262 of the DGCL, where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, such as the Qorvo Special Meeting, the corporation, not less than twenty (20) days before such meeting, must notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available that appraisal rights are available and include in the notice a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL. This joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes Qorvo's notice to its stockholders that appraisal rights are available in connection with the First Merger, and the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G. In connection with the First Merger, any holder of record or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights, or who wishes to preserve such holder's or beneficial owner's right to do so, should review the following discussion and Annex G carefully in its entirety because failure to timely and properly comply with the procedures specified in Section 262 of the DGCL will result in the loss of appraisal rights. In addition, the Court of Chancery will dismiss appraisal proceedings as to all holders of record and beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who have asserted appraisal rights unless at least one (1) ownership threshold has been satisfied. A Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock who loses his, her or its appraisal rights but continues to hold such shares at the Effective Time will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration described in the Merger Agreement (without interest). Moreover, the process of dissenting and exercising appraisal rights requires compliance with technical prerequisites, and because of the complexity of the procedures for exercising the right to seek appraisal of shares of Qorvo Common Stock, Qorvo believes that if a Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock considers exercising such rights, such Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock should seek the advice of legal counsel.** 

#### How to Exercise and Perfect Your Appraisal Rights
Qorvo stockholders or beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock wishing to exercise the right to seek an appraisal of their shares of Qorvo Common Stock must do ALL of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock must deliver to Qorvo a written demand for appraisal before the vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting, which written demand must reasonably inform Qorvo of the identity of the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock, as applicable, and that the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock intends to demand appraisal of their shares. In addition, if submitted by a beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock, such written demand must reasonably identify the holder of record of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock for which the demand is made and be accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner's beneficial ownership of Qorvo Common Stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and provide an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the Surviving Company and to be set forth on the verified list of persons or entities who have demanded appraisal for their shares pursuant to Section 262(f) of the DGCL. Although not expressly required by Section 262, the Surviving Company reserves the right to take the position that the submission of all information required of a beneficial owner under Section 262(d)(3) is required with respect to any person sharing beneficial ownership of the shares for which such demand is submitted. Although a failure to vote "**AGAINST**" the Merger Agreement Proposal will not, in itself, constitute a waiver of appraisal rights (unless the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock votes "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal), the written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the Merger Agreement Proposal. Voting "**AGAINST**" or failing to vote "**FOR**" the Merger Agreement Proposal by itself does not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262 of the DGCL;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • in the case of a Qorvo stockholder of record, the stockholder must not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal; if a beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock, such person or entity must not

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

instruct their broker, bank or other nominee to vote their share(s) of Qorvo Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock must continuously hold or beneficially own, as applicable, the shares of Qorvo Common Stock from the date of making the demand through the Effective Time (a Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock will lose appraisal rights if the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock transfers the shares after such demand and before such Effective Time); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Qorvo stockholder, the beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock or the Surviving Company must file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time. The Surviving Company is under no obligation to file any such petition and has no intention of doing so.

In addition, for any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock to exercise appraisal rights, at least one (1) of the ownership thresholds must be met.

#### Filing a Written Demand
Any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner wishing to exercise appraisal rights must deliver to Qorvo, before the vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting, a written demand for the appraisal of the Qorvo stockholder's or beneficial owner's shares of Qorvo Common Stock.

In the case of a Qorvo stockholder of record, such Qorvo stockholder must not vote or submit a proxy in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal. A Qorvo stockholder of record wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the shares of Qorvo Common Stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold the shares of record through the Effective Time, since such person or entity will lose his, her or its appraisal rights if the shares of Qorvo Common Stock are transferred after such demand is made and before the Effective Time. A proxy that is submitted in connection with the Qorvo Special Meeting and does not contain voting instructions will, unless timely revoked, be voted in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, and it will constitute a waiver of the Qorvo stockholder's right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered written demand for appraisal. Therefore, a Qorvo stockholder who submits a proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must submit a proxy containing instructions to vote against the Merger Agreement Proposal or abstain from voting on the Merger Agreement Proposal, or must timely revoke such proxy.

In the case of a beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders that hold shares of Qorvo Common Stock in "street name" for their customers do not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on the Merger Agreement Proposal without specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner on such proposal, but such banks, brokers, nominees, trustees or other record holders will vote such shares as instructed if the beneficial owner provides such instructions. If a beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock held in "street name" instructs such person's or entity's bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to vote such person's or entity's shares of Qorvo Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, and does not revoke such instruction prior to the vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal, then such shares will be voted in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, which will constitute a waiver of such beneficial owner's right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered written demand for appraisal. Therefore, a beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must either not provide any instructions to such person's or entity's bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder how to vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal or must instruct such bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder to vote against the Merger Agreement Proposal or abstain from voting on such proposal or timely revoke any previously provided instructions to the contrary.

Neither voting against the Merger Agreement Proposal, nor submitting a proxy against the Merger Agreement Proposal, nor abstaining from voting or failing to vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal, will in and of itself constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL. The written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal. A Qorvo stockholder's or beneficial owner's failure to make the written

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

demand before the taking of the vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.

A demand for appraisal made by a Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock must be executed by or on behalf of the Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner, as applicable, and must reasonably inform Qorvo of the identity of such holder or beneficial owner.

In addition, in the case of a demand for appraisal made by a beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock, the demand must also reasonably identify the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, be accompanied by documentary evidence of the beneficial owner's beneficial ownership of Qorvo Common Stock (such as a brokerage or securities account statement containing such information or a letter from the broker or other record holder of such shares confirming such information) and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and provide an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the Surviving Company under Section 262 of the DGCL and to be set forth on the verified list required by Section 262(f) of the DGCL. Although not expressly required by Section 262, the Surviving Company reserves the right to take the position that the submission of all information required of a beneficial owner under Section 262(d)(3) is required with respect to any person sharing beneficial ownership of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock for which such demand is submitted. Whether made by a Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock, a written demand for appraisal must state that the person or entity intends thereby to demand appraisal of the person's or entity's shares of Qorvo Common Stock.

If the shares of Qorvo Common Stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand made by a record holder serving in such capacity should be made in that capacity. If the shares of Qorvo Common Stock are held of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy and tenancy in common, a demand for appraisal by the record holder of the shares should be executed by or on behalf of all joint holders. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two (2) or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record or beneficial owner; provided that the agent doing so must identify the record holder or holders of the shares (and, if by an authorized agent of any beneficial owner or owners, must identify the beneficial owner or owners and otherwise comply with the requirements applicable to appraisal demands made by a beneficial owner) and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record holder or holders, or beneficial owner or owners, as the case may be. A record holder, such as a bank, broker, nominee, trustee or other record holder, who held shares of Qorvo Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time as a nominee for others, may exercise his, her or its right of appraisal with respect to the shares of Qorvo Common Stock then held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock as to which appraisal is sought. Where the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held in the name of such record holder demanding appraisal.

#### Withdrawal of Appraisal
At any time within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time, any Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner who has delivered a written demand to Qorvo and who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and accept the Merger Consideration by delivering to the Surviving Company, a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the Merger Consideration. Any such attempt to withdraw the demand made more than sixty (60) days after the Effective Time will require written approval of the Surviving Company. No appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock without the approval of the Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court of Chancery deems just (including, without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court of Chancery made under Section 262(j) of the DGCL); provided, however, that any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and accept the Merger Consideration within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time. If the Surviving Company does not approve a request to withdraw a demand for appraisal and to accept

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

the Merger Consideration when that approval is required, or if the Court of Chancery does not approve the dismissal of an appraisal proceeding (subject to the right to withdraw referenced above), the Qorvo stockholder will be entitled to receive only the appraised value determined in any such appraisal proceeding, which value could be less than, equal to or more than the Merger Consideration being offered pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

#### Notice by the Surviving Company
Within ten (10) days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company, or its successors or assigns, will notify each Qorvo stockholder of record and beneficial owner, who has complied with Section 262 of the DGCL, and who has not voted in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal, of the Effective Time.

#### Filing a Petition for Appraisal
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, but not thereafter, the Surviving Company or any Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner who has complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and is entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery, with a copy served on the Surviving Company, or its successors or assigns, in the case of a petition filed by a Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner, demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock of all such stockholders. The Surviving Company is under no obligation to and has no present intention to file a petition and Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners should not assume that the Surviving Company will file a petition or initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock. Accordingly, any holders or beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who desire to have their shares appraised should initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights in respect of their shares of Qorvo Common Stock within the time and in the manner prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL. The failure of a holder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock to file such a petition in the period and manner specified in Section 262 of the DGCL could nullify the Qorvo stockholder's or beneficial owner's previous written demand for appraisal.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, any Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock who has complied with the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Surviving Company a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock not voted in favor of the Merger Agreement proposal and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares or beneficial owners holding or owning such shares (provided that, in the case of a demand made by a beneficial owner in such person's or entity's name, the record holder of such shares will not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of such aggregate number). The statement must be mailed to the requesting Qorvo stockholder of record or beneficial owner within ten (10) days after such stockholder's or beneficial owner's, as applicable, request therefor has been received by the Surviving Company or within ten (10) days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later.

If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed by a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock and a copy thereof is served upon the Surviving Company, the Surviving Company will then be obligated within twenty (20) days after such service to file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list (the "Verified List") containing the names and addresses of all Qorvo stockholders or beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who have demanded appraisal for their shares of Qorvo Common Stock and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the Surviving Company. Upon the filing of any such petition, the Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court of Chancery, will give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the Surviving Company and the Qorvo stockholders or beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock shown on the Verified List at the addresses stated therein. The costs of such notices will be borne by the Surviving Company.

After notice has been given to the Qorvo stockholders and beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock as required by the Court of Chancery, the Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing on the petition to determine those Qorvo stockholders of record or beneficial owners who have

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and who have become entitled to appraisal rights thereunder. At the hearing on such petition, the Court of Chancery may require the Qorvo stockholders or beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold shares of Qorvo Common Stock represented by certificates to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock fails to comply with such direction, the Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock. Notwithstanding a Qorvo stockholder's or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock's compliance with the foregoing requirements, Section 262 provides that, because immediately prior to the Effective Time, Qorvo Common Stock will be listed on a national securities exchange, the Court of Chancery will dismiss appraisal proceedings as to all Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners who assert appraisal rights unless (a) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock as measured in accordance with Section 262(g) of the DGCL or (b) the value of the Merger Consideration in respect of such total number of shares exceeds $1 million.

#### Determination of Fair Value
After the Court of Chancery determines the Qorvo stockholders and beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to an appraisal, assuming at least one (1) of the ownership thresholds described above has been satisfied, the appraisal proceeding will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding, the Court of Chancery will determine the "fair value" of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value (subject, in the case of interest payments, to any Voluntary Cash Payment made by the Surviving Company pursuant to Section 262(h) of the DGCL that have the effect of limiting the sum on which interest accrues as described below). In determining fair value, the Court of Chancery will take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the Effective Time through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the Effective Time and the date of payment of the judgment. However, at any time before the Court of Chancery's entry of judgment in the proceedings, the Surviving Company may pay to each Qorvo stockholder and beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to appraisal a Voluntary Cash Payment, in which case interest will accrue thereafter only upon the sum of (a) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid by the Surviving Company and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court of Chancery and (b) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time.

In determining fair value, the Court of Chancery will take into account all relevant factors. In *Weinberger v. UOP*, Inc., the Supreme Court of Delaware discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods that are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered, and that "[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company." The Supreme Court of Delaware stated that, in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts that could be ascertained as of the date of the Mergers that throw any light on future prospects of the merged company. Section 262 of the DGCL provides that fair value is to be "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." In *Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc.*, the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a "narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value," but that rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In *Weinberger*, the Supreme Court of Delaware also stated that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the Mergers and not the product of speculation, may be considered."

Qorvo stockholders and beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares of Qorvo Common Stock as so determined by the Court of Chancery could be less than, the same as or more than the value of the Merger Consideration

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

and that an investment banking opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Merger Consideration is not an opinion as to, and might not in any manner address, "fair value" under Section 262 of the DGCL.

Although Qorvo believes that the Merger Consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Court of Chancery, and Qorvo stockholders and beneficial owners of shares of Qorvo Common Stock should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value lower or higher than, or the same as, the Merger Consideration. None of the parties to the Mergers anticipates offering more than the Merger Consideration to any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock exercising appraisal rights, and each of the parties to the Merger Agreement reserves the right to make a Voluntary Cash Payment pursuant to Section 262(h) of the DGCL and to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that for purposes of Section 262 of the DGCL, the "fair value" of a share of Qorvo Common Stock is less than the Merger Consideration.

Upon application by the Surviving Company or by any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court of Chancery may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal before the final determination of Qorvo stockholders and beneficial owners entitled to an appraisal. Any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock whose name appears on the Verified List may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock is not entitled to appraisal rights or that neither of the ownership thresholds is met. The Court of Chancery will direct the payment of the fair value of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock, together with interest, if any, by the Surviving Company to Qorvo stockholders of record or beneficial owners entitled thereto. Payment will be made to each such Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner upon the terms and conditions as the Court of Chancery may order. The Court of Chancery's decree may be enforced as other decrees in such court may be enforced. If a petition for appraisal is not timely filed or if neither of the ownership thresholds is met, then the right to an appraisal will cease. The costs of the appraisal proceedings (which do not include attorneys' fees or the fees and expenses of experts) may be determined by the Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Court of Chancery deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon application of a Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock whose name appears on the Verified List who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Court of Chancery may also order all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal not dismissed pursuant to Section 262(k) of the DGCL or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under Section 262(k) of the DGCL.

From and after the Effective Time, no Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock who has demanded appraisal rights will be entitled to vote such shares of Qorvo Common Stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares of Qorvo Common Stock, except dividends or other distributions on such shares of Qorvo Common Stock, if any, payable to Qorvo stockholders as of a time before the Effective Time. If any stockholder who demands appraisal of shares of Qorvo Common Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL fails to perfect or effectively loses or validly withdraws such holder's right to appraisal, the stockholder's shares of Qorvo Common Stock will be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest. A Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock will fail to perfect, or effectively lose or withdraw, the holder's right to appraisal if no petition for appraisal is filed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, if neither of the ownership thresholds is met or if the Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock delivers to the Surviving Company a written withdrawal of the demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the Merger Consideration, either within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time or thereafter with the written approval of the Surviving Company. Once a petition for appraisal is filed with the Court of Chancery, however, the appraisal proceeding may not be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the court deems just (including, without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court of Chancery made under Section 262(j) of the DGCL); provided, however, that the foregoing will not affect the right of any Qorvo stockholder or beneficial owner of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's or beneficial owner's demand for appraisal and to accept the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

terms offered upon the First Merger within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time. Failure to comply strictly with all of the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may result in the loss of a stockholder's or beneficial owner's statutory appraisal rights.

 **In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, Qorvo stockholders of record and beneficial owners wishing to exercise appraisal rights are encouraged to consult legal counsel before attempting to exercise those rights.** 

If you elect to exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, you should mail or deliver a written demand to:

Qorvo, Inc.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

7628 Thorndike Road

Greensboro, North Carolina 27409-9421

(336) 664-1233

#### Nasdaq Listing of Skyworks Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Qorvo Common Stock
Each of Skyworks and Qorvo will take all action necessary to cause the Skyworks Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers to be listed on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, at or prior to the Closing Date. If the Mergers are consummated, Qorvo Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

#### Expected Timing of the Mergers
Skyworks and Qorvo currently expect the Mergers to be consummated early in calendar year 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others, (a) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, (b) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approval of the Mergers under certain other antitrust and foreign investment regimes, (c) the absence of any order, injunction or law of such jurisdictions prohibiting the Mergers, (d) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, (e) the approval of the issuance of shares of Skyworks Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration by a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, (f) the accuracy of Qorvo and Skyworks' respective representations and warranties, subject to certain standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, (g) compliance in all material respects with Qorvo's and Skyworks' respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (h) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to each of Skyworks and Qorvo.

However, Skyworks and Qorvo cannot predict the actual date on which the Mergers will be consummated because consummation is subject to conditions beyond their control and it is possible that such conditions could result in the Mergers being consummated earlier or later or not being consummated at all. See "*The Mergers — Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers*" and "*The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Mergers*."

#### U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers
The following discussion is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock that exchange their shares of Qorvo Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in the Mergers. The discussion is based on the provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Tax

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

considerations arising under foreign, state or local laws, or U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income tax (such as estate or gift tax laws), are not addressed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" refers to a beneficial owner of Qorvo Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as defined in the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on its income regardless of its source.

This discussion applies only to U.S. Holders of Qorvo Common Stock that hold their shares of Qorvo Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). For the avoidance of doubt, this discussion does not apply to any holders of Qorvo RSU Awards that are canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in connection with the Mergers. This discussion is not a complete description of all of the tax consequences of the Mergers, and does not address any consequences arising under any minimum tax, unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 or Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as FATCA) (including the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith). This discussion also does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular U.S. Holder in light of its personal circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, for example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • banks, thrifts, mutual funds, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • pass-through entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or S corporations (or investors in pass-through entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or S corporations);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • dealers or brokers in stocks, securities, commodities, or currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • individual retirement or other deferred accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • persons that hold shares of Qorvo Common Stock as part of a straddle, hedge, appreciated financial position, constructive sale, conversion, integrated or other risk reduction transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • U.S. Holders whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • U.S. expatriates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income as a result of such income being recognized on an "applicable financial statement";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • holders who, directly, indirectly or constructively own (or at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the Mergers owned) 5% or more of Qorvo Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • holders who hold their shares as "qualified small business stock" within the meaning of Section 1202(c) of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • holders who acquired their shares of Qorvo Common Stock in exchange for claims arising out of the Qorvo chapter 11 case;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • stockholders who acquired their shares of Qorvo Common Stock through the exercise of employee stock options, as a restricted stock award or otherwise as compensation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • holders who held shares of both Qorvo Common Stock and Skyworks Common Stock prior to the Mergers.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of Qorvo Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and partnership. Partnerships holding shares of Qorvo Common Stock and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences of the Mergers to them.

 **This discussion is not tax advice and does not purport to be a complete analysis or discussion of all U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Mergers. The actual tax consequences of the Mergers to you may be complex and may depend on your specific situation and on factors not within Skyworks' or Qorvo's control. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the Mergers in your particular circumstances, including any federal, state, local or foreign and other applicable tax laws and of changes in those laws.** 

Qorvo and Skyworks intend for the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The consummation of the Mergers is not conditioned on the Mergers qualifying for the intended tax treatment or upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel to that effect, and neither Qorvo nor Skyworks will request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. However, in connection with the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, each of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, legal counsel to Qorvo, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, legal counsel to Skyworks, has delivered a legal opinion to the effect that the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

These opinions will be based upon and rely on, among other things, various facts, assumptions, representations and warranties and covenants, including those contained in the Merger Agreement and in the representation letters provided by Skyworks (on behalf of itself, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II) and Qorvo. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations and warranties and covenants underlying the tax opinions described above is or becomes incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or is waived or violated, the validity of, and the conclusions reached in, such tax opinions may be affected or jeopardized. In addition, the opinions will be subject to certain qualifications and limitations as set forth therein. Moreover, an opinion of counsel represents such counsel's judgment and is not binding on the IRS or any court and the IRS or a court may disagree with the conclusions reached by an opinion of counsel. Notwithstanding the receipt by Skyworks and Qorvo of the opinions of counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert that the Mergers fail to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or that a court would not sustain such position.

Provided the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders generally are as follows.

#### Tax Consequences of the Mergers Generally
Neither Qorvo nor Skyworks will recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the Mergers.

**A U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock who acquired different blocks of Qorvo Common Stock at different times and at different prices generally must apply the rules described in the following sections separately to each identifiable block of shares of Qorvo Common Stock.** A U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock who holds Qorvo Common Stock with differing bases or holding periods should consult his, her or its tax advisor with regard to identifying the particular shares of Qorvo Common Stock and identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Skyworks Common Stock received in the Mergers.

#### Exchange of Shares of Qorvo Common Stock for a Combination of Skyworks Common Stock and Cash
Except as described below with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock, a U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock who exchanges shares of Qorvo Common Stock for a combination of Skyworks Common Stock and cash will recognize gain, if any, (but not loss) equal to the lesser of (a) the excess, if any, of the amount of cash plus the fair market value at the Effective Time of the Skyworks Common Stock received in exchange for such shares of Qorvo Common Stock in the Mergers, over such holder's tax basis in the shares of Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor and (b) the amount of cash received by such holder in exchange for such shares of Qorvo Common Stock (in each case, excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock, which is addressed in "— *Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares*"). Generally, such holder's aggregate tax basis in the Skyworks Common Stock received by such holder in the Mergers, including the basis allocable to any fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock for which cash is received, will equal such holder's aggregate tax basis in the shares of Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor, increased by the amount of taxable gain, if any, recognized by such holder of Qorvo Common Stock in the exchange of such shares (excluding any gain recognized with respect to any fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock, as described below), and decreased by the amount of cash received by such holder of Qorvo Common Stock in exchange for such shares of Qorvo Common Stock (excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock, as described below). A U.S. Holder's holding period in the Skyworks Common Stock received (including the holding period of any fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock deemed received and redeemed, as described below) will include the holding period for the holder's shares of Qorvo Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor.

#### Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares
A U.S. Holder of Qorvo Common Stock that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock will generally be treated as having received such fractional share and then as having received such cash in redemption of the fractional share. Gain or loss will generally be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock and the portion of the U.S. Holder's aggregate adjusted tax basis in the shares of Qorvo Common Stock exchanged therefor which is allocable to the fractional share.

#### Capital Gain or Loss
Any gain or loss recognized with respect to the exchange of Qorvo Common Stock in the Mergers will generally be capital gain or loss. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for its Qorvo Common Stock surrendered in the Mergers exceeds one (1) year at the Effective Time. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate holders of Qorvo Common Stock, including individuals, are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

#### Reporting Requirements
Each holder of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who receives shares of Skyworks Common Stock in the Mergers is required to retain permanent records pertaining to the Mergers and make such records available to any authorized IRS officers and employees. Such records should specifically include information regarding the amount, basis, and fair market value of the Qorvo Common Stock exchanged and the amount of Skyworks Common Stock and cash received in exchange therefor. Additionally, holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock who owned immediately before the Mergers at least 5% (by vote or value) of the total outstanding stock of Skyworks are required to attach a statement to their U.S. federal income tax returns for the year in which the Mergers are consummated that contains the information listed in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(b). Such statement must include the holder's tax basis in such holder's Qorvo Common Stock surrendered in the Mergers, the fair market value of such stock, the date of the Mergers and the name and employer identification number of each of Qorvo and Skyworks. Holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding these rules.

#### Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
A holder of shares of Qorvo Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 24%) on any cash payments received in the Mergers, including payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares, unless such holder properly establishes an exemption or provides its correct tax identification number and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a payee's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, so long as such payee furnishes the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

 **This discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. Determining the actual tax consequences of the Mergers to you may be complex and will depend on your specific situation and on factors that are not within our control. You should consult your tax advisors with respect to the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any tax consequences arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax rules or under the applicable laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction.** 

#### Litigation Related to the Mergers
Stockholders may file lawsuits challenging the Mergers, which may name Skyworks, Qorvo, members of the Skyworks Board, members of the Qorvo Board or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of any claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the consummation of the Mergers or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether.

Skyworks and Qorvo have each received demand letters from certain purported stockholders of Skyworks and Qorvo, as applicable, that allege deficiencies and/or omissions in the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. The demand letters seek additional disclosures to remedy these purported deficiencies. Skyworks and Qorvo believe that the allegations in these letters are without merit. There can be no assurances that complaints or additional demands will not be filed or made with respect to the Mergers. If additional similar demands are made, neither Skyworks nor Qorvo will necessarily announce them.

#### THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following summary describes certain material provisions of the Merger Agreement. This summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and constitutes part of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety because this summary may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. The rights and obligations of the parties to the Merger Agreement are governed by the express terms of the Merger Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements described below and included in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement (except as otherwise specified therein), and may be subject to important qualifications, limitations, and supplemental information agreed to by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Qorvo in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the Merger Agreement may have the right not to consummate the Mergers if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. Except for the right of Qorvo stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration (as applicable), investors and security holders (in their capacities as such) are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Qorvo or any of their respective affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement. In addition, you should not rely on the covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement as actual limitations on the respective businesses of Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Qorvo because the parties to the Merger Agreement may take certain actions that are either expressly permitted in the confidential disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement or as otherwise consented to by the appropriate party, which consent may be given without prior notice to the public. The Merger Agreement is described below, and included as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions and not to provide any other factual information regarding Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Qorvo or their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in the Merger Agreement should not be read alone, and you should carefully read the information provided elsewhere in this document and in the filings that each of Skyworks and Qorvo has made or will make with the SEC in their entirety. See "*Where You Can Find More Information*."

#### Structure of the Mergers
The Merger Agreement provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for two (2) mergers involving Qorvo. First, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks. Immediately following the First Merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the Surviving Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks.

#### Closing
Unless another date, time, or place is agreed to in writing by Skyworks and Qorvo, the Closing will occur no later than the fifth (5th) business day after satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions described below under "— *Conditions to the Mergers"* (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be fulfilled at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions).

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### Effective Times
As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties to the Merger Agreement will cause the First Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger with respect to the First Merger, duly executed and completed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and will make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Effective Time occurs when the First Merger becomes effective.

Immediately following the Effective Time, the parties to the Merger Agreement will cause the Second Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger with respect to the Second Merger, duly executed and completed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA, and will make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL and the DLLCA. The Second Effective Time occurs when the Second Merger becomes effective.

#### Merger Consideration Received by Qorvo Stockholders; Withholding Rights
At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Qorvo Common Stock (other than shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held (a) directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or (c) directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, which is (i) 0.960 shares of Skyworks Common Stock, without interest, and (ii) $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

Each of Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent, and their respective agents, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant governmental body, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

#### Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Certificates; No Fractional Shares
The conversion of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (other than shares of Qorvo Common Stock that are held (a) directly or indirectly, by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) by Qorvo (or held in Qorvo's treasury) or (c) directly or indirectly, by Skyworks, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyworks immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the Dissenting Shares) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will occur automatically at the Effective Time.

Prior to the Effective Time, Skyworks will designate an Exchange Agent for the purpose of exchanging book-entry shares and certificates representing shares of Qorvo Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. In addition, at or prior to the Effective Time, Skyworks will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (a) cash and (b) evidence of shares of Skyworks Common Stock, in amounts sufficient to deliver the Merger Consideration.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Exchange Agent will mail to each holder of record of a certificate or a book-entry share whose shares were converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, as applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a letter of transmittal (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the certificates or book-entry shares to the Exchange Agent, and which will be in such form and have such other provisions as determined by Skyworks); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates and book-entry shares in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration.

Upon surrender of a certificate or book-entry share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Skyworks, together with such letter of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such certificate or book-entry share will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that amount of Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the certificate or book-entry share so surrendered will forthwith be canceled. If any portion of the applicable Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered certificate or book-entry share is registered, it will be a condition to the registration of such Merger Consideration that (a) the surrendered certificate will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (b) the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration will pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such certificate or book-entry share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

Until surrendered as contemplated by the foregoing paragraph, each certificate or book-entry share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or will accrue for the benefit of holders of certificates or book-entry shares on the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of certificates or book-entry shares.

No dividends or other distributions with respect to Skyworks Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate or book-entry share with respect to any shares of Skyworks Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares will be paid to any such holder, in each case until the surrender of such certificate or book-entry share. Subject to the effect of applicable law, following surrender of any such certificate or book-entry share, there will be paid to the holder of shares of Skyworks Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (a) at the time of such surrender, (i) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and (ii) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Skyworks Common Stock.

If any certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Skyworks or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Skyworks or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Qorvo Common Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Skyworks Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

No certificates representing fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates or book-entry shares, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Skyworks.

No fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and Qorvo stockholders will receive cash, without interest, in lieu of any fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock to which they otherwise would have been entitled. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the Excess Shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holders of certificates or book-entry shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on Nasdaq in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of certificates or book-entry shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of certificates or book-entry shares shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of certificates or book-entry shares will be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of certificates or book-entry shares is entitled (after taking into account all certificates and book-entry shares then held by such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of certificates or book-entry shares are entitled. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of certificates or book-entry shares with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders.

#### Dissenting Shares
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Dissenting Shares will not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration, but will be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

If any Dissenting Shares lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, effective as of the later of the Effective Time and the date of loss of such status, such shares will be deemed automatically to have been converted into, and shall represent only, the right to receive Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of certificates representing shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or, if such shares are uncertificated shares of Qorvo Common Stock represented by book-entry positions, upon compliance with the procedures established by the Exchange Agent for the transfer of such uncertificated shares of Qorvo Common Stock represented by book-entry positions.

Qorvo must give Skyworks: (a) prompt notice of any demand for appraisal received by Qorvo prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Qorvo prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL and relating to any demand for appraisal; and (b) the opportunity to participate in (but not direct) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument relating to any demand for appraisal. Qorvo may not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Skyworks has given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such payment or settlement offer.

For additional information on the appraisal rights Qorvo stockholders are entitled to in connection with the First Merger, see "*The Mergers — Appraisal Rights in the Mergers."* 

#### Treatment of Qorvo Equity Awards

#### Qorvo RSUs
At the Effective Time, each outstanding Qorvo RSU Award that is an Accelerated Qorvo RSUs, will be canceled in consideration for the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Qorvo Common Stock that was subject to such Accelerated Qorvo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) an amount in cash equal to all dividend equivalents, if any, accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time with respect to each such Accelerated Qorvo RSU. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Accelerated Qorvo RSUs that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (*i.e*., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined) will be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance, subject to certain exceptions for individuals for whom achievement will be assumed at the greater of target performance and actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Qorvo RSU Award will be assumed by Skyworks and converted automatically into an Adjusted RSU Award, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Qorvo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than performance-based vesting conditions, which will not apply following the Effective Time, with dividend equivalents continuing to accrue in respect of such Adjusted RSU Award and with all accrued dividend equivalents paid at such time as the Adjusted RSU Award is settled), except that the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock subject to the Adjusted RSU Award as of the Effective Time will be determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to the corresponding Unvested Qorvo RSU Award immediately prior to the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

Effective Time by (b) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares in the resulting product rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any such Unvested Qorvo RSU Award that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, including any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents, will be determined by assuming, in respect of such Unvested Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance, subject to certain exceptions for individuals for whom achievement will be assumed at the greater of target performance and actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event of a termination of employment of any holder of an Adjusted RSU Award by Skyworks, the Surviving Company or one of their affiliates without "cause" or by such holder with "good reason" (each as defined in the applicable Qorvo equity plan or equity award agreement), in each case within the eighteen (18)-month period following the Closing Date, any such Adjusted RSU Awards held by such holder will accelerate and vest in full.

Skyworks, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II have also made certain representations and warranties relating to Skyworks' Debt Financing (as defined below) in connection with the Mergers.

The representations and warranties of each of the parties to the Merger Agreement do not survive the consummation of the Mergers.

#### Material Adverse Effect
For purposes of the Merger Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect," with respect to any party to the Merger Agreement, means any effect, event, change, occurrence, condition or development (each an "Effect") that, individually or when taken together with all other Effects, has had a material adverse change in, or material adverse effect on (a) the ability of such party and its subsidiaries to consummate the Transactions, including any such Effect that delays beyond the Outside Date, prevents or prohibits such party's or its subsidiaries' ability to consummate the Transactions; or (b) the businesses, financial condition or results of operations of such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that for the purposes of clause (b), any Effect, to the extent resulting from or arising in connection with (i) the industries, geographies or markets in which such party and its subsidiaries operate; or (ii) general economic, political or financial, credit, foreign exchange, capital market or securities market conditions, shall be excluded from the determination of a Material Adverse Effect, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent that such Effect (individually or in the aggregate) disproportionately affects such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other persons of substantially similar size engaged in the same industries, geographies, and markets in which such party and its subsidiaries operate, in which case only the incremental disproportionate adverse impact of such Effect shall be taken into account for the purposes of such determination (to the extent not otherwise excluded by another clause of this definition); provided, further, that for the purposes of clause (b), any Effect, to the extent resulting from or arising in connection with the following, among other things, shall also be excluded from the determination of a Material Adverse Effect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the negotiation, execution, delivery, announcement or pendency of the Merger Agreement and Transactions, including the identities of the parties thereto, the loss or departure of officers of such party or any of its subsidiaries resulting from the foregoing, or any termination, reduction (or potential reduction) or any other negative development (or potential negative development) in such party's or any subsidiary's relationships with any of its customers, suppliers, distributors or other business partners resulting from the foregoing (provided that the exceptions in this bullet will not apply with respect to the certain representations and warranties made by Qorvo or Skyworks);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, have first provided prior written notice at least four (4) business days prior to making a change in board recommendation to Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, of its intention to make a change in board recommendation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, has, and has caused its respective financial advisor and legal counsel to, during the above mentioned notice period, negotiated with Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable (to the extent the Skyworks or Qorvo, as applicable, desires to negotiate), in good faith to make such amendments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or so that the Intervening Event no longer forms the basis for the Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable, to effect a change in board recommendation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Qorvo Board or Skyworks Board, as applicable (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel), has in good faith reaffirmed its determination that the Intervening Event continues to form the basis for its board to effect a change in board recommendation or the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be.

None of Skyworks, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II, on the one hand, nor Qorvo, on the other hand, may take any action, or fail to take any action that is intended to or has (or would reasonably be expected to have) the effect of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • contesting and resisting (including through litigation on the merits until a final non-appealable decision) any legal proceeding, and to avoid the entry of and, if necessary, have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Restraint that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions under any antitrust law or investment screening law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the obligation by Skyworks and any of its subsidiaries to offer and consent to, and thereafter to implement, and the obligation by Qorvo and any of its subsidiaries to cooperate with Skyworks and its subsidiaries in so offering, consenting and implementing, any of the following measures if doing so would enable the parties to avoid, resolve, or lift a Restraint or legal proceeding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • impose any restriction, requirement or behavioral or commercial limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of Qorvo, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, Skyworks or any of their respective subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • sell, assign, transfer, divest, restructure, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of Qorvo, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, Skyworks or any of their respective subsidiaries, other than the sale, assignment, transfer, divestiture, restructuring, holding separate or other disposal of any product line or product lines that, individually or in the aggregate, represent less than $100 million in annual revenue; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • take, or cause to be taken, the imposition of any restriction, requirement or behavioral or commercial limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of Qorvo, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, Skyworks or any of their respective subsidiaries or any other action, that, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Combined Company; and

provided further that any obligation to commit to or implement any regulatory remedy is subject to such regulatory remedy being conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers.

Under the Merger Agreement, Skyworks and Qorvo have also agreed that Skyworks will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • control, devise and implement the strategy and timing for seeking and securing any actions or consents of any governmental body with respect to the Transactions, including with respect to developing, proposing or negotiating any regulatory remedies or any other commitments, consents or remedies with any governmental body intended to avoid, resolve or lift a Restraint or legal proceeding (after taking into account in good faith any comments of Qorvo or its representatives relating to such strategy), and coordinate any contacts with any governmental body (including any requesting authority);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • take the lead in all meetings, communications, discussions and negotiations with any governmental body (including any requesting authority) in connection with obtaining any such action or consent; provided, however, that neither Skyworks nor Qorvo will participate in any substantive meeting, communication, discussion or negotiation with any governmental body (including any requesting authority) in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Mergers unless it gives the other party prior notice of, consults with the other party in good faith in advance of, and, to the extent not prohibited by such governmental body, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in, such meeting, communication, discussion or negotiation; and

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • have the right in its sole discretion to commit to or agree with any governmental body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, any applicable antitrust law or any applicable investment screening law; provided, however, that Skyworks will not withdraw its initial filing pursuant to the HSR Act or refile without Qorvo's prior written consent.

#### Director and Officer Matters
From the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Skyworks must cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company to exculpate, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons"), (a) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and (b) in accordance with any indemnification agreements with Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or related to such Indemnified Persons' service as a director or officer of Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary or services performed by such persons at the request of Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time.

All rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement and reimbursement of expenses by Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary existing in favor of the Indemnified Persons for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in Qorvo's or the applicable Qorvo subsidiary's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar organizational documents (as in effect as of October 27, 2025) and as provided in those indemnification agreements between Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary and such Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of October 27, 2025), will survive the Mergers and continue in full force and effect (to the extent such rights to indemnification are available under and consistent with applicable law) for a period of six (6) years following the date on which the Mergers become effective, and the Surviving Company and its subsidiaries will (and Skyworks will cause the Surviving Company and its subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of Qorvo or any Qorvo subsidiary in respect of such rights of indemnification, exculpation and advancement and reimbursement of expenses.

For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Skyworks and the Surviving Company must maintain in effect the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions of Qorvo and the Qorvo subsidiaries' certificates of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement and any indemnification agreements of Qorvo and its subsidiaries in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement, or provisions that are no less protective than such provisions or agreements, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of Qorvo and the Qorvo subsidiaries.

From the date on which the Closing occurs until the sixth (6th) anniversary of such date, Skyworks must cause the Surviving Company to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Closing, the existing policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Qorvo as of October 27, 2025 in the form made available to Skyworks (the "Existing D&O Policy"), except that: (a) Skyworks may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of substantially comparable coverage, and in any event, coverage not less favorable in the aggregate than the existing policies of Qorvo and the Qorvo subsidiaries; and (b) Skyworks will not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of 300% of the most recent annual premium paid prior to October 27, 2025 for the Existing D&O Policy (the "Maximum Premium").

If any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) exceed the Maximum Premium in the aggregate, then Skyworks may reduce the amount of coverage of such Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

Skyworks must cause the Surviving Company or, prior to the Effective Time, Qorvo will have the right to purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable "tail" policy on the Existing D&O Policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six (6) years from the Closing Date and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that the Surviving Company will not be obligated to, and Qorvo will not (without the prior written consent of Skyworks), expend an amount for such "tail" policy in excess of the Maximum Premium.

#### Skyworks Board Composition
The parties to the Merger Agreement must take all action necessary (including, to the extent necessary, procuring the resignation or removal of any directors on the Skyworks Board immediately prior to the Effective Time) so that, as of immediately following the Effective Time, the number of directors that comprise the full Skyworks Board shall be eleven (11) directors, and the Skyworks Board will immediately following the Effective Time consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (who will be the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks as of immediately after the Effective Time);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • seven (7) directors designated by the Skyworks Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • three (3) directors designated by the Qorvo Board, each of which must be reasonably acceptable to Skyworks and which will include Robert A. Bruggeworth (who is reasonably acceptable to Skyworks), the current Chief Executive Officer of Qorvo.

As of immediately following the Effective Time, each such person designated as a director of Skyworks pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Skyworks and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal, in accordance with the governance documents of Skyworks and applicable law.

#### Financing Cooperation
In connection with any debt financing incurred or intended to be incurred by Skyworks for purposes of financing the Mergers (the "Debt Financing"), Skyworks and Qorvo have agreed to certain covenants, as described below.

Skyworks must use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing on the terms and subject solely to the conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to: (a) maintain in full force and effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, (b) negotiate, enter into and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and solely subject to the conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter (the "Definitive Debt Financing Agreements"), (c) satisfy (or obtain a waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions and comply with all obligations applicable to Skyworks in the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, (d) enforce all of its rights under the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements and (e) consummate the Debt Financing no later than the Closing Date.

Skyworks cannot amend or modify the terms of, obtain any replacement of, or waive any of its rights under the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Qorvo subject to customary exceptions. Skyworks must keep Qorvo reasonably informed promptly upon written request of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing.

In the event that all or any portion of the Debt Financing is reasonably expected to become, unavailable for any reason, in an amount sufficient, together with all other sources of cash available to Skyworks on the Closing Date, for the satisfaction of all of Skyworks' payment obligations under the Merger Agreement, Skyworks must (a) notify Qorvo in writing as promptly as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof and (b) take all actions necessary to promptly arrange and obtain alternative financing (i) in an amount sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Skyworks' payment obligations under the Merger Agreement, (ii) that does not impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent set forth in the Commitment Letter and (iii) which would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or impair the likelihood of the Closing.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo must use reasonable best efforts to provide Skyworks cooperation reasonably requested by Skyworks in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any capital markets issuance to refinance all or a portion of Qorvo's outstanding senior notes, including using reasonable best efforts (to the extent reasonable and customary for financings of the type contemplated thereby as of the date of the Merger Agreement) to (a) participate in a reasonable but limited number of lender meetings via videoconference upon reasonable notice and at mutually agreed dates and reasonable times, (b) provide reasonable and customary assistance with the preparation of customary marketing materials in connection with obtaining any Debt Financing or consummating any capital markets issuance, solely with respect to customary information relating to Qorvo and its subsidiaries, (c) provide documentation and information reasonably required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable "know-your-customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations to the extent reasonably requested by Skyworks, (d) furnish Skyworks, following Skyworks' reasonable request, with customary financial information (to the extent reasonably available to Qorvo) required pursuant to the Commitment Letter to the extent reasonably required to consummate any Debt Financing or capital markets issuance, (e) cause its independent auditors to participate in customary accounting due diligence sessions and reasonably cooperate with any Debt Financing and capital markets issuance consistent with their customary practice, including (x) requesting that such auditors provide customary comfort letters, consents or authorization letters to the inclusion of Qorvo's auditor reports and (y) providing customary management representation letters to such auditors, in each case, to the extent required in connection with the marketing and syndication of any Debt Financing or as customarily required in an underwritten capital markets issuance, and (f) assist with the preparation of and enter into (but not prior to the Closing Date) the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements or the amendment of any currency or interest hedging agreements of Qorvo (provided that Qorvo is not required to negotiate or obtain such amendments).

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, Skyworks to facilitate the termination and payoff of the commitments under the Qorvo Credit Agreement at the Closing. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to use commercially reasonable efforts (but which efforts do not require Qorvo to commence any litigation or other adversarial proceedings against the lenders, arrangers or agents (or any other persons) under the Qorvo Credit Agreement), subject to the cooperation of the lenders thereunder, to obtain and deliver to Skyworks a customary payoff letter in connection with the Qorvo Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qorvo is not required to cause any repayment, release or termination of the Qorvo Credit Agreement.

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, Qorvo is required to cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, Skyworks to facilitate the assumption, amendment, redemption, repurchase or repayment of Qorvo's outstanding notes, as applicable, by Skyworks, in each case conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing.

#### Certain Tax Matters
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties to the Merger Agreement intend that the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that the Merger Agreement is adopted as a "plan of reorganization" for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

Each of Skyworks, Qorvo and their respective subsidiaries must use reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. None of Skyworks, Qorvo or any of their respective subsidiaries has taken or agreed to take any action or believes or has any reason to believe that any conditions exist that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and must report the Mergers in a manner consistent with the intended tax treatment as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a).

Following a rigorous, thoughtful and thorough CEO search process conducted by the Skyworks Board with the assistance of an executive search firm, Skyworks identified Mr. Brace as Mr. Griffin's successor. In February 2025, Skyworks announced that Mr. Brace would become Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of the Skyworks Board, effective February 17, 2025. Mr. Griffin ceased serving as Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of the Skyworks Board on February 17, 2025 and thereafter served in a non-executive advisory role for three months to support the leadership transition, after which his employment with Skyworks ended on May 18, 2025.

#### Chief Financial Officer Transition
On May 1, 2025, Mr. Sennesael informed Skyworks that he would resign from Skyworks, effective May 9, 2025, to accept another position, and his employment with Skyworks ended on May 9, 2025. On May 7, 2025, Skyworks announced that Mark P. Dentinger would be joining Skyworks as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective June 2, 2025. However, due to an unforeseen medical condition, Mr. Dentinger did not commence employment with Skyworks. On May 29, 2025, Skyworks announced that it had appointed Mr. Schriesheim, a member of the Skyworks Board, as Skyworks' Interim Chief Financial Officer and that it had commenced a search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. Following an extensive search process with the assistance of an executive search firm, the Skyworks Board appointed Mr. Carter as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective September 8, 2025, at which time Mr. Schriesheim ceased serving as Interim Chief Financial Officer.

#### Engagement with Stockholders Regarding Executive Compensation
In evaluating and establishing Skyworks' executive compensation policies and programs, its Compensation and Talent Committee values and actively considers the opinions expressed by its stockholders through the "say-on-pay" advisory vote at each annual stockholder meeting, as well as through its ongoing stockholder engagement efforts. At Skyworks' 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting"), approximately 91% of the votes cast approved its "say-on-pay" proposal, reflecting continued support for its compensation policies and determinations for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024 ("fiscal year 2024").

Following the 2025 Annual Meeting, Skyworks continued its annual stockholder engagement efforts by conducting outreach to 19 institutional stockholders representing approximately 60% of Skyworks' shares outstanding. Stockholders representing approximately 49% of Skyworks' shares outstanding responded to

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

the outreach, either with written feedback, a request to speak, or by declining the invitation. Generally, investors who declined a meeting noted that they did so because they did not have any concerns to discuss. Skyworks held engagement meetings with each of those stockholders who requested to meet, representing approximately 18% of Skyworks' shares outstanding. The Chairman of the Skyworks Board, Ms. King, was actively involved in stockholder engagement.

During these conversations, institutional stockholders were interested in discussing a range of topics beyond executive compensation, including Skyworks' Chief Executive Officer transition in February 2025, the composition of the Skyworks Board, business performance and strategy, Skyworks' efforts to eliminate the supermajority vote provisions from its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and its sustainability program.

Input and feedback from Skyworks' stockholders during the most recent outreach, as well as the ongoing dialogue Skyworks has shared with stockholders for many years, continues to directly inform the evolution of its compensation practices.

 *Fiscal Year 2025 Changes* 

For Skyworks' fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee made changes to the long-term stock-based incentives for executives that were directly responsive to stockholder feedback. Effective for the fiscal year 2025 performance share awards ("PSAs") granted to named executive officers on November 5, 2024, both the performance period and vesting period for the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric were increased from two years to three years.

#### Approach for Determining Form and Amounts of Compensation
The Compensation and Talent Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq Rules and non-employee directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, is responsible for determining all components and amounts of compensation to be paid to Skyworks' named executive officers, as well as any other executive officers or employees who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation and Talent Committee sets compensation for the named executive officers, including base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term stock-based incentives, at levels generally intended to be competitive with the compensation of comparable executives in semiconductor companies with which Skyworks competes for executive talent and to link the compensation of its named executive officers to improvements in Skyworks' financial performance and increases in stockholder value.

 *Compensation Program Objectives* 

The objectives of Skyworks' executive compensation program are to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified executives to operate the business, and to link the compensation of those executives to improvements in Skyworks' financial performance and increases in stockholder value. Accordingly, the Compensation and Talent Committee's goals in establishing Skyworks' executive compensation program include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • ensuring that Skyworks' executive compensation program is competitive with a group of companies in the semiconductor industry with which Skyworks competes for executive talent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • providing a base salary that serves as the foundation of a compensation package that attracts and retains the executive talent needed to achieve Skyworks' business objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • providing short-term variable compensation that motivates executives and rewards them for achieving Company financial performance targets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • providing long-term stock-based compensation that aligns the interest of Skyworks' executives with stockholders by rewarding them for long-term increases in stockholder value; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • ensuring that Skyworks' executive compensation program is perceived as fundamentally fair to its employees.

 *Retention of Compensation Consultant* 

The Compensation and Talent Committee has engaged Aon Consulting ("Aon") to assist in determining the components and amount of executive compensation. Aon reports directly to the Compensation and Talent Committee, through its chairman, and the Compensation and Talent Committee retains the right to terminate or replace the consultant at any time. The Compensation and Talent Committee has considered the relationships that Aon has with Skyworks, the members of the Compensation and Talent Committee and Skyworks' executive officers, as well as the policies that Aon has in place to maintain its independence and objectivity, and has determined that Aon's work for the Compensation and Talent Committee has not raised any conflicts of interest. Company management also purchases published compensation and benefits surveys from Aon, and on occasion engages certain affiliates of Aon in various jurisdictions for services unrelated to executive compensation and benefits, engagements for which Skyworks' management has not sought the Compensation and Talent Committee's approval. The fees paid to Aon and its affiliates in fiscal year 2025 for these surveys and additional services did not exceed $120,000.

 *Use of Comparator Group Data* 

The Compensation and Talent Committee annually compares the components and amounts of compensation that Skyworks provides to its Chief Executive Officer and each of the other named executive officers with "Comparator Group" data for each position and uses this comparison data to help inform its review and determination of base salaries, short-term incentives, and long-term stock-based compensation awards, as discussed in further detail below under "*Components of Compensation*." For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved Comparator Group data consisting of a 50/50 blend of (i) Aon survey data of semiconductor companies (where sufficient data was not available in the Aon semiconductor survey data for a given executive position, the Comparator Group data also included survey data regarding high-technology companies), and (ii) data from the group of 18 publicly traded semiconductor companies listed below.

Each year the Compensation and Talent Committee engages Aon to assess the peer group. Using this information, the Compensation and Talent Committee seeks to create a peer group comprised of semiconductor companies. Consolidation within the semiconductor industry over time has resulted in fewer semiconductor companies that are of similar market capitalization and revenue as Skyworks. As a result, when considering companies to potentially include in the peer group, the Compensation and Talent Committee also considers companies in adjacent industries, such as the semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry, as well as companies with smaller or greater revenue or market capitalization than Skyworks, many of which are business competitors and companies with which Skyworks competes for executive talent.

For Skyworks' fiscal year 2025 compensation program, Skyworks made an adjustment to its peer group from the prior fiscal year by adding GlobalFoundries, a semiconductor company.

The Compensation and Talent Committee generally seeks to make decisions regarding each Named Executive Officer's compensation that are competitive within the Comparator Group, with consideration given to the executive's role, responsibility, performance, and length of service. After reviewing the Comparator Group data and considering the input of Aon, during its regular cycle in November 2024, the Compensation and Talent Committee established (and the full Board was advised of) the base salary, short-term incentive target, and stock-based compensation for each then-Named Executive Officer for fiscal year 2025. Aon advised the Compensation and Talent Committee that such components of executive compensation for fiscal year 2025 were competitive for chief executive officers and other executive officers at companies of similar size and complexity in the semiconductor industry.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

For the compensation of the named executive officers as of November 2024, other than Mr. Griffin, the Compensation and Talent Committee received input from Mr. Griffin, the then-Chief Executive Officer. Along with this input, the Compensation and Talent Committee considered each individual's responsibilities and experience, as well as internal factors such as scope of role and level in the organization and external factors such as the current environment for attracting and retaining executives.

 *Compensation Approach for Our Chief Executive Officer* 

In determining the compensation of its then-Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee focused on (i) competitive levels of compensation for chief executive officers who are leading companies of similar size and complexity, (ii) the importance of retaining and incentivizing a chief executive officer with the strategic, financial, and leadership skills necessary to ensure its continued growth and success, and (iii) Skyworks' Chief Executive Officer's role relative to the other named executive officers.

For Mr. Griffin's compensation for fiscal year 2025, which was determined in November 2024, in addition to the foregoing factors, the Compensation and Talent Committee also considered input from the full Board on his prior performance. Mr. Griffin was not present during the voting or deliberations of the Compensation and Talent Committee concerning his compensation. The Compensation and Talent Committee left Mr. Griffin's base salary unchanged for fiscal year 2025, the second fiscal year in a row that his base salary was not increased, and the Compensation and Talent Committee approved a long-term incentive award in an amount with a grant date fair value less than what he received in fiscal year 2024.

In connection with the transition of the role of Chief Executive Officer from Mr. Griffin to Mr. Brace in fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee considered several additional factors in setting Mr. Brace's compensation. In order to induce Mr. Brace to join Skyworks, the Compensation and Talent Committee took into account, among other things, Mr. Brace's experience and qualifications, input from Aon, and opportunities to receive significant incremental compensation by continuously increasing shareholder value. The Compensation and Talent Committee sought to prepare an incentive-based compensation package that would align Mr. Brace's compensation with stockholder interests and the long-term performance of Skyworks' stock price.

The Compensation and Talent Committee aimed to achieve this goal by granting Mr. Brace a compensation package heavily weighted towards performance with long-term equity incentive awards. First, to align performance objectives with the executive team, Skyworks granted Mr. Brace the following equity awards: (i) a restricted stock unit ("RSU") award for 43,682 shares (the "FY25 Brace RSU"), which is subject to time-based vesting over a period of four years with such vesting deemed to have commenced on November 5, 2024 and (ii) a PSA for 65,524 shares (the "FY25 Brace PSA"), which may be earned upon the achievement of the same performance metrics used for the PSAs granted to Skyworks' other executive officers for fiscal year 2025.

In addition, Skyworks granted Mr. Brace a new hire PSA for 455,028 shares (the "Brace New Hire PSA"), which can be earned based on the level of achievement of stock price hurdles measured during the four-year performance period commencing on February 17, 2027 and ending on February 17, 2031. The stock price hurdles will be measured against a base price of $65.63714, which is equal to the average closing price for the seven trading days following February 5, 2025. Twenty percent of the shares subject to the Brace New Hire PSA are earned upon achievement of each of the price hurdles and vest on the one-year anniversary of the applicable price hurdle achievement date, subject to continued service on such date, as outlined below, representing significant hurdles requiring large sustained increases in Skyworks' share price, and linking pay to shareholder value creation.

 *Compensation Approach for Our Chief Financial Officer* 

In determining the compensation offer to induce Mr. Carter to join Skyworks, the Compensation and Talent Committee took into account, among other things, input from Aon, benchmarking data among peers, Mr. Carter's experience and qualifications, and the substantial unvested equity awards and other compensation opportunities that Mr. Carter would surrender by leaving his role as Chief Accounting Officer of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

The Compensation and Talent Committee sought to tie Mr. Carter's equity incentive compensation to the long-term performance of Skyworks' stock price and the interests of Skyworks' stockholders. The Compensation and Talent Committee aimed to achieve this goal by granting Mr. Carter the following equity awards: (i) an RSU award for 39,666 shares, which is subject to time-based vesting over a period of four years with such vesting deemed to have commenced on September 8, 2025 ("Carter New Hire RSU") and (ii) a PSA for 50,244 shares, which will vest based on Skyworks' absolute level of achievement of TSR over the three fiscal year period starting on October 4, 2025 and ending on September 29, 2028, subject to Mr. Carter's continued employment through November 11, 2028, as further set forth below ("Carter New Hire PSA").

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of Shares Earned With Respect to TSR  | 25.0% | 50.0% | 100.0% |

Mr. Carter also received an $800,000 signing bonus to help offset the repayment of a signing bonus he had received from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and the forfeiture of restricted stock units granted by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. that had been scheduled to vest on December 15, 2025.

#### Components of Compensation
The key elements of compensation for Skyworks' named executive officers are base salary, short-term incentives, long-term stock-based incentives, and health and welfare benefits. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee sought to make decisions that would result in each Named Executive Officer's target total direct compensation being competitive within the Comparator Group, with consideration given to the executive's role, responsibility, performance, and length of service.

 *Base Salary* 

The Compensation and Talent Committee annually determines a competitive base salary for each executive officer using the Comparator Group data and input provided by Aon. Base salaries are intended to attract and retain talented executives, recognize individual roles and responsibilities and provide stable income to executives. In order to provide flexibility in consideration of differences in an individual executive's scope of responsibilities, length of service, and performance, the Compensation and Talent Committee did not target a specific percentile of the Comparator Group for executive officer salaries; however, the salaries of the executive officers were generally near the median of the Comparator Group.

The base salary for Mr. Griffin for fiscal year 2025 was unchanged from fiscal year 2024, the second fiscal year in a row where Mr. Griffin's base salary was not increased. The base salary increase for fiscal year 2025 for each Named Executive Officer who was also an executive officer of Skyworks in fiscal year 2024, as reflected in the table below, was effected in November 2024. Each salary increase was based on the market-based salary adjustments recommended by Aon, as well as recommendations by the then-Chief Executive Officer, and took into consideration the scope of duties for such Named Executive Officer.

 *Short-Term Incentives* 

 *Overview* 

Our short-term incentive compensation plan for executive officers is established annually by the Compensation and Talent Committee and is intended to motivate and reward executives by tying a significant portion of their total cash compensation to Skyworks' achievement of pre-established performance goals that are generally one year or less in duration. The Compensation and Talent Committee believes that pre-established performance goals under Skyworks' short-term incentive compensation plan for executive officers should generally be measured over a one-year performance period.

 *Incentive Opportunities* 

For each executive officer, short-term incentive compensation at the "target" level is designed to be near the median short-term incentive compensation of the Comparator Group. After reviewing Comparator Group data, the Compensation and Talent Committee determined that the target incentive under the fiscal year 2025 Executive Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), as a percentage of base salary, for each of the named executive officers should not be changed, as compared to the target incentives under the prior year's short-term incentive plan.

Excluding Mr. Schriesheim, who was not eligible to receive short-term incentive compensation in his role as Interim Chief Financial Officer, the following table shows the range of short-term incentive compensation that each Named Executive Officer could earn in fiscal year 2025 as a percentage of such executive officer's annual base salary.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Threshold**  | **Target**  | **Maximum**  |
| Chief Executive Officer  | 80% | 160% | 320% |
| Chief Financial Officer  | 50% | 100% | 200% |
| EVP, Chief Operations and Technology Officer<sup>(1)</sup>  | 40% | 80% | 160% |
| Other Named Executive Officers  | 40% | 80% | 160% |

---

(1) When Mr. Kasnavi received a promotion to his current position in March 2025, he received an increase in his short-term incentive opportunity by 10% (from 80% of his prior base salary to 90% of his increased base salary), with an increase in the threshold amount to 45% of base salary and the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of 180% of the target award to the extent Skyworks exceeds its target performance metrics in fiscal year 2025, in recognition of his new role and responsibilities.

 *Performance Goals* 

In December 2024, the Compensation and Talent Committee established performance goals for the Incentive Plan that were based on achieving revenue and non-GAAP operating income performance goals, each of which was weighted at 50%. The non-GAAP operating income performance goal was measured based

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

on Skyworks' publicly disclosed non-GAAP operating income<sup>8</sup> after accounting for any incentive award payments, including those to be made under the Incentive Plan.

The target level performance goals were established by the Compensation and Talent Committee under the Incentive Plan after reviewing Skyworks' historical operating results, as well as Skyworks' business outlook and expected future results relative to peers and were designed to require significant effort and operational success on the part of Skyworks' executives and Skyworks. The maximum level performance goals established by the Compensation and Talent Committee have historically been difficult to achieve and are designed to represent outstanding performance that the Compensation and Talent Committee believes should be rewarded.

The performance goals established under the Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)**  | **Revenue**  | **Non-GAAP <br> Operating Income**  |
| Threshold  | $3750 | $800 |
| Target  | $4000 | $912 |
| Maximum  | $4400 | $1137 |

---

The Compensation and Talent Committee seeks to set challenging yet attainable performance goals for incentive compensation to motivate Skyworks' executives. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee, after substantial evaluation and discussion, set target performance goals that were below fiscal year 2024 performance. Nonetheless, the Compensation and Talent Committee believed that these goals reflected an appropriate level of rigor given several factors. The goals were established in alignment with Skyworks' annual operating plan for fiscal year 2025, which took into account the broader macroeconomic environment, market conditions and the performance expectations of Skyworks' stockholders. The Incentive Plan also stipulated that payouts to executives following the end of the fiscal year, under either of the revenue and non-GAAP operating income metrics, were conditioned upon Skyworks achieving full-year non-GAAP operating income of at least $0.8 billion.

 *Calculation of Incentive Plan Payments* 

Under the Incentive Plan, upon completion of the fiscal year, the Compensation and Talent Committee determined the extent to which Skyworks' performance goals were attained, reviewed the Chief Executive Officer's recommended payouts under the Incentive Plan, and approved the awards to be made under the Incentive Plan.

Achievement under the performance goals at the "threshold," "target," or "maximum" level corresponds to payment under the Incentive Plan at the "threshold," "target," or "maximum" percentage, as applicable, with such percentage multiplied by the executive's base salary for fiscal year 2025 and then multiplied by the weighting assigned to that performance goal. The payout for achievement under the performance goals between either the "threshold" and "target" levels or the "target" and "maximum" levels would be based on linear interpolation between the two relevant amounts.

Each executive's payment under the Incentive Plan is calculated by evaluating achievement of each performance goal individually, determining the portion of the total eligible incentive payment earned with respect to each such performance goal, and totaling the resulting amounts. The Compensation and Talent Committee retained the discretion to make payments, upon consideration of recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer, even if the threshold performance goals were not met or if the nominal level of non-GAAP operating income was not met, or to make payments in excess of the maximum level if Skyworks' performance exceeded the maximum performance goals. While the Compensation and Talent Committee believed it was appropriate to retain this discretion in order to make short-term incentive compensation awards in appropriate extraordinary circumstances, no such adjustments were actually made.

<sup>8</sup>

Non-GAAP operating income typically excludes from GAAP operating income the following: share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements, gains, losses, and impairments and restructuring-related charges.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

 *Fiscal Year Results* 

For fiscal year 2025, Skyworks' revenue and non-GAAP operating income achieved were $4,087 million and $995 million, respectively, resulting in a short-term compensation award equal to 129% of the target payment level for each individual who was a Named Executive Officer as of the end of fiscal year 2025. This outcome was largely driven by strong performance and operational execution to meet higher than expected demand for Skyworks' products.

In November 2025, upon certifying the level of revenue and non-GAAP operating income that had been achieved for the fiscal year, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved payment of the short-term incentive to Skyworks' executives for fiscal year 2025. The Compensation and Talent Committee did not exercise discretion, either upward or downward, to named executive officers' payments under the Incentive Plan.

The following table shows Skyworks' achievement under the Incentive Plan:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)**  | **Revenue**  | **Non-GAAP <br> Operating Income**  |
| Threshold  | $3750 | $800 |
| Target  | $4000 | $912 |
| Maximum  | $4400 | $1137 |
| **Achieved** | $**4087** | $**995** |

 *Long-Term Stock-Based Compensation* 

 *Overview* 

The Compensation and Talent Committee generally makes long-term stock-based compensation awards to executive officers on an annual basis. Long-term stock-based compensation awards are intended to align the interests of Skyworks' executive officers with those of Skyworks' stockholders and to reward Skyworks' executive officers for increases in stockholder value over periods of time greater than one year. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee made an annual stock-based compensation award on November 5, 2024 to each of the Named Executive Officer as of that date, at a regularly scheduled Compensation and Talent Committee meeting.

For information about the long-term stock based compensation awards granted to Mr. Brace and Mr. Carter in fiscal year 2025, see "*Compensation Approach for Our Chief Executive Officer" and* "*Compensation Approach for Our Chief Financial Officer*", respectively.

 *Fiscal Year 2025 Stock-Based Compensation Awards* 

In making annual stock-based compensation awards to executive officers for fiscal year 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee first reviewed the Comparator Group grant data by executive position. The Compensation and Talent Committee used that data to inform its determination of a target dollar value for the long-term stock-based award for each executive officer, as set forth in the table below, targeting awards for fiscal year 2025 that were competitive within the Comparator Group. Each executive officer was granted a PSA and an RSU award equivalent to 60% and 40%, respectively, of the dollar value of the executive's fiscal year 2025 stock-based award, calculating the number of shares subject to each award using the fair market value of Skyworks' common stock on the date of grant of such award and an assumption that Skyworks would achieve the "target" level of performance required to earn the PSA. The Compensation and Talent Committee's rationale for awarding PSAs is to further align the executive's interests with those of Skyworks' stockholders by using equity awards that will vest only if Skyworks achieves pre-established performance goals, and Skyworks believes the Compensation and Talent Committee's decision to award a portion of the PSAs subject to metrics measured over a multi-year performance period more closely aligns the executive's interests with those of Skyworks' stockholders. Each RSU award granted to executive officers in fiscal year 2025 vests over four years at a rate of twenty-five percent (25%) per year commencing one year from the grant date and thereafter on each subsequent anniversary of the grant date for

the following three years, provided the executive officer remains employed by Skyworks through each such vesting date. The long-term incentive awards granted in fiscal year 2025 for Mr. Brace and Mr. Carter are described above in "*Compensation Approach for Our Chief Executive Officer*" and "*Compensation Approach for Our Chief Financial Officer*".

(1) The grant date fair values of these stock-based awards as disclosed further below in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" and the "*Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table*" differ from the values stated above due to the grant date fair value of the PSAs being computed using a Monte Carlo simulation to value the portion of the award related to TSR percentile ranking, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718 — Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC 718").

(2) Reflects the dollar value of the award, divided by $88.58 per share, which was the closing price of Skyworks' common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on November 5, 2024.

(3) Mr. Griffin's awards were forfeited on May 16, 2025 in connection with his termination of employment.

(4) The terms of this award provided that in the event of a termination of employment of Mr. Griffin by Skyworks without cause or by Mr. Griffin for good reason, or by reason of Mr. Griffin's death or disability ("cause" and "good reason", in the Second Amended and Restated Change in Control / Severance Agreement, dated May 10, 2023, by and between Mr. Griffin and Skyworks (the "Griffin Agreement")), and subject to Sections 6, 8, 12.3 and 12.4 of the Griffin Agreement, the award would become vested solely with respect to the number of Pro Rata Shares (as defined below), reduced by the number of shares that have previously vested. "Pro Rata Shares" means the total number of shares subject to the award multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the greater of 180 days or the number of calendar days between November 5, 2024 and the date of the termination of service, divided by (ii) the total number of calendar days between November 5, 2024 and November 5, 2028. Mr. Griffin ceased to be employed by Skyworks on May 16, 2025 at which time his award was vested with respect to 5,934 shares.

After setting award levels by position and evaluating Skyworks' business needs for the attraction and retention of executives and employees as well as internal and external circumstances impacting Skyworks and its employees, the Compensation and Talent Committee also reviewed the Comparator Group data to set the aggregate number of shares of Skyworks' common stock that would be made available for annual equity awards to eligible non-executive employees of Skyworks, as a percentage of the total number of the outstanding shares of Skyworks' common stock.

 *FY25 PSAs* 

The PSAs granted on November 5, 2024 (the "November 2025 PSAs") and the FY25 Brace PSA (together with the November 2025 PSAs, the "FY25 PSAs"), have both "performance" and "continued employment" conditions that must be met in order for the executive to receive shares underlying the award.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

The "performance" condition of the FY25 PSAs compares Skyworks' performance under three distinct metrics during the applicable performance period against a range of pre-established targets, as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Percentage of Aggregate <br> Target Level Shares**  | **Performance <br> Period**  | **Vesting**  |
|  Target Level Shares with Respect to Emerging Revenue Growth Metric<sup>(1)</sup>  | 25%  | Fiscal Year <br> 2025  | 100% at the End <br> of Year Two  |
|  Target Level Shares with Respect to EBITDA Margin Percentile Ranking Metric<sup>(2)</sup>  | 25%  | Fiscal Years <br> 2025 – 2027  | 100% at the End <br> of Year Three  |
|  Target Level Shares with Respect to TSR Percentile Ranking Metric<sup>(3)</sup>  | 50%  | Fiscal Years <br> 2025 – 2027  | 100% at the End <br> of Year Three  |

---

(1) The emerging revenue growth metric measures Skyworks' year-over-year revenue growth in certain key product categories, each of which represents an identified longer-term growth market for Skyworks.

(2) The EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric measures Skyworks' EBITDA margin achieved relative to the companies in Skyworks' FY25 Peer Group during a three-year performance period comprising Skyworks' fiscal years 2025, 2026 and 2027. For purposes of the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric, EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by revenue for the applicable period, where EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP operating income, plus depreciation and amortization, for the applicable period. With respect to Skyworks and each FY25 Peer Group company, EBITDA and revenue are calculated based on publicly reported financial information for the applicable period (which for the FY25 Peer Group companies consists of the twelve-quarter period that ends closest to, but not later than, October 3, 2027).<sup>9</sup> When calculating Skyworks' EBITDA margin, the impact of any acquisition or disposition occurring within the performance period is excluded if the revenue attributable to such acquisition or disposition exceeds $50 million during such period.

(3) The TSR percentile ranking metric measures Skyworks' percentile ranking achieved with respect to its peer group. The peer group for purposes of the TSR percentile ranking metric includes each of the companies in the S&P 500 Index during the performance period but excludes any such company that during the three-year performance period is acquired by or merged with (or enters into an agreement to be acquired by or merged with) another entity. For purposes of the PSA award, TSR for Skyworks and for each company in the peer group is calculated using a starting price and ending price, which consist of the average of the closing prices for each trading day during the sixty (60) consecutive calendar days ending on, and including, the last trading day before the measurement period begins and the last trading day of the measurement period, respectively, assuming dividend reinvestment and adjusting for stock splits, as applicable.

The semiconductor industry generally and, in particular, many of the markets into which Skyworks sells its connectivity products, are characterized by constant and rapid technological change, continuous product evolution, and short product life cycles, including annual product refreshes in some cases. Recognizing that a significant driver of long-term growth is Skyworks' ability to identify and execute on emerging revenue growth opportunities, the Compensation and Talent Committee retained emerging revenue growth as a one-year metric (representing 25% of the target value of the PSAs) to incentivize Skyworks' management team on specific emerging product lines that had higher growth potential for that year and were intended to drive long-term value creation.

For 25% of the target value under the FY25 PSAs, the Compensation and Talent Committee utilized a three-year EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric that measures performance relative to the FY25 Peer Group. To incentivize above-median performance, the Compensation and Talent Committee set the target percentile for the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric at the 55<sup>th</sup> percentile of Skyworks' FY25

<sup>9</sup>

When calculating the EBITDA margin percentile ranking, the performance of a company in the FY25 Peer Group will be included if during the performance period such company in the FY25 Peer Group publicly reports quarterly financial results for at least ten consecutive quarters out of the twelve applicable quarters.

Peer Group. Following stockholder feedback received after the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Compensation and Talent Committee determined that shares earned pursuant to the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric for awards granted to named executive officers for fiscal year 2025 would be subject to a three-year performance period and would not vest until the three-year anniversary of the grant date, which reflected an increase in the performance period from two years to three years compared to the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric for PSAs granted in fiscal year 2024.

As in prior years, the remaining half of the target value under the FY25 PSAs was based on a three-year TSR percentile ranking.

The specific pre-established performance goals for the FY25 PSAs under the emerging revenue growth, EBITDA margin percentile ranking and TSR percentile ranking metrics are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Company Metric**  | **Threshold**  | **Target**  | **Maximum**  |
| 1-year Emerging Revenue Growth (%)  | 10.0% | 15.0% | 20.0% |
| 3-year EBITDA Margin Percentile Ranking  | 25th | 55th | 75th |
| 3-year TSR Percentile Ranking  | 25th | 55th | 90th |

---

As with the Incentive Plan, the pre-established targets under the FY25 PSAs were established by the Compensation and Talent Committee after reviewing Skyworks' historical operating results and growth rates as well as Skyworks' expected future results relative to peers and were designed to require significant effort and operational success on the part of Skyworks' executives and Skyworks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Emerging Revenue Growth Metric: The target level was set at 15.0%, representing above-market annual growth, the maximum level was set at 20.0%, which the Compensation and Talent Committee believed represented outstanding performance that would be difficult to achieve, and the threshold level was set at 10.0% as a result of continued market uncertainties. The threshold, target and maximum levels vary year to year as a result of the composition of what, as part of Skyworks' product portfolio, comprises emerging revenue. For fiscal year 2025, emerging revenue growth was based on driving growth in the following key product categories: automotive, WiFi growth markets (i.e. WiFi 7/8), strategic bulk acoustic wave ("BAW") expansion (i.e., BAW-enabled products excluding products sold to Skyworks' largest customer), audio solutions, and mixed-signal solutions business organization (excluding automotive to avoid duplication).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • EBITDA Margin Percentile Ranking Metric: The Compensation and Talent Committee set the target percentile at the 55<sup>th</sup> percentile of the FY25 Peer Group in order to further incentivize above-median performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • TSR Percentile Ranking Metric: Consistent with the prior year's award, the Compensation and Talent Committee set the target percentile at the 55<sup>th</sup> percentile of the applicable peer group in order to further incentivize above-median performance.

The number of shares issuable under the FY25 PSAs corresponds to the level of achievement of the performance goals, as follows (subject to linear interpolation for amounts between "threshold" and "target" or "target" and "maximum"):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Performance Achieved**  | **Performance Achieved**  | **Performance Achieved**  |
| | **Threshold**  | **Target**  | **Maximum**  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of Target Level Shares Earned with Respect to Emerging Revenue Growth Metric  | 50% | 100% | 200% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of Target Level Shares Earned with Respect to EBITDA Margin Percentile Ranking Metric  | 50% | 100% | 200% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of Target Level Shares Earned with Respect to TSR Percentile Ranking Metric  | 50% | 100% | 300% |

---

The "continued employment" condition of the FY25 PSAs provides that, to the extent that the performance goals are met, the shares earned under such metrics would vest as follows (provided, in each case, that the executive remains employed by Skyworks through each such vesting date):

------

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of Shares Earned with Respect to TSR Percentile Ranking Metric  |  | 100% |

---

(1) In the event of termination by reason of death or permanent disability, the holder of an FY25 PSA (or the holder's estate) would receive any earned but unissued shares that would have been issuable thereunder during the remaining term of the award.

During fiscal year 2024, the base period against which fiscal year 2025 emerging revenue performance was measured, Skyworks achieved revenue in the specified key product categories of $596 million.

During fiscal year 2025, Skyworks achieved revenue in the specified key product categories of $740 million, representing emerging revenue growth of 24%, which was above the "maximum" level of performance. This resulted in Skyworks achieving 200% of the target level of shares for such metric. The shares earned under this metric will be issued in November 2026, provided that the Named Executive Officer meets the continued employment condition.

 *Outstanding PSAs at the End of Fiscal Year 2025* 

As summarized in the table below of the annual PSA grants made to named executive officers since fiscal year 2023, achievement of the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric and TSR percentile ranking metric under the FY25 PSAs, each of which is subject to a three-year performance period, will be determined following the conclusion of Skyworks' fiscal year ending October 1, 2027 ("fiscal year 2027"), and achievement of the TSR percentile ranking metric under the FY24 PSAs, which is subject to a three-year performance period, will be determined following the conclusion of fiscal year 2026. During the three-year performance period under the fiscal year 2023 PSAs comprising Skyworks' fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025, Skyworks realized a TSR of -20% resulting in its ranking in the 15th percentile against the applicable peer group. As a result of failing to achieve the threshold TSR percentile ranking metric, no shares were earned by the named executive officers with respect to such metric, and all PSAs with respect to such metric were cancelled.

 *Other Compensation and Benefits* 

Skyworks provides other benefits to its executive officers that are intended to be part of a competitive overall compensation program and are not tied to any company performance criteria. Consistent with Skyworks' objective of having compensation programs that are considered fair to its employees, executive officers are eligible to participate in Skyworks' medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans, as well as Skyworks' 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan, under the same terms as such benefits are offered to other benefits-eligible employees. Skyworks does not provide executive officers with any enhanced retirement benefits (i.e., executive officers are subject to the same limits on contributions as other employees, as Skyworks does not offer any supplemental executive retirement plan or other similar non-qualified deferred compensation plan), and they are eligible for 401(k) company-match contributions under the same terms as other employees.

Skyworks offered executives the opportunity to participate in a reimbursement program for fiscal year 2025 providing up to an aggregate of $20,000 to each executive for the purchase of personal financial planning services, estate planning services, personal tax planning and preparation services, and/or an executive physical. No tax gross-up was provided for such reimbursements. In fiscal year 2025, each of the named executive officers, other than Mr. Kasnavi, received reimbursement in connection with such services.

In connection with his offer of employment with Skyworks, Mr. Brace is entitled to reimbursement for certain relocation costs, the cost of commercial airline flights for commuting to Skyworks' headquarters, temporary apartment costs, and certain tax gross-ups relating to the foregoing in addition to the other benefits discussed above.

#### Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits
None of Skyworks' executive officers, including the named executive officers, has an employment agreement that provides a specific term of employment with Skyworks. Accordingly, the employment of any such employee may be terminated at any time. Skyworks does provide certain benefits to its named executive officers upon certain qualifying terminations of employment and in connection with terminations of employment under certain circumstances following a change in control. During fiscal year 2025, such benefits were afforded to named executive officers pursuant to certain change in control / severance agreements. In November 2025, following a review of market practice and in consultation with Aon, the Compensation and Talent Committee adopted a Severance and Change in Control Benefits Plan (the "Severance Plan"), which, with their consent, replaced the CIC Agreements (as defined below) for all of its named executive officers employed as of November 2025, except for the Chief Executive Officer. A description of the material terms of Skyworks' severance and change-in-control arrangements with the named executive officers can be found immediately below and further below under "*Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control*."

The Compensation and Talent Committee believes that severance protections can play a valuable role in recruiting and retaining superior talent. Further, the Compensation and Talent Committee believes that severance and other termination benefits are an effective way to offer executives financial security to incent them to forego an opportunity with another company.

Pursuant to the CIC Agreements, outside of the change-in-control context, each Named Executive Officer was entitled to severance benefits if his or her employment was involuntarily terminated by Skyworks without cause and, in the case of Mr. Brace, who remains subject to the Brace Agreement (as defined below), and Mr. Griffin, who ceased serving as Chief Executive Officer and President on February 17, 2025, if they terminate their own employment for good reason (as defined in the Brace Agreement and the Griffin Agreement, respectively). The level of each Named Executive Officer's cash severance or other termination benefit was generally tied to his or her annual base salary and short-term incentive amounts.

Additionally, pursuant to the CIC Agreements, each Named Executive Officer was eligible to receive enhanced severance benefits and accelerated vesting of equity awards if his or her employment was terminated under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control of Skyworks. The Compensation and Talent Committee believes these enhanced severance benefits and accelerated vesting were appropriate because the occurrence, or potential occurrence, of a change-in-control transaction would

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

likely create uncertainty regarding the continued employment of executive officers that typically occurs in a change-in-control context, and such severance benefits and accelerated vesting encourage the named executive officers to remain employed with Skyworks through the change-in-control process and to focus on enhancing stockholder value both before and during the process. The vesting protection helped assure the named executive officers that they would not lose the expected value of their equity awards because of a change in control of Skyworks.

For fiscal year 2026, all of the named executive officers employed by Skyworks as of November 2025, besides the Chief Executive Officer, are afforded severance and change-in-control benefits pursuant to the Severance Plan and an individual participation agreement under the Severance Plan. The current Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brace, continues to be afforded severance and change-in-control benefits pursuant to his change in control / severance agreement. These benefits are discussed in the prior two paragraphs and are described in detail further below under "*Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control*."

In fiscal year 2024, Skyworks adopted a policy providing for stockholder ratification of any new agreements or arrangements that provide for cash severance benefits payable to named executive officers that exceed 2.99 times the sum of the Named Executive Officer's base salary and target bonus (as each such term is defined in the policy).

#### Executive Officer Stock Ownership Requirements
Skyworks has adopted executive officer stock ownership guidelines with the objective of more closely aligning the interests of Skyworks' executive officers with those of Skyworks' stockholders. Under the executive officer stock ownership guidelines, Skyworks' named executive officers are each required to hold the *lower* of (a) the number of shares with a fair market value equal to the applicable multiple of such executive's current base salary, or (b) the applicable number of shares, each as set forth in the table below. Common stock owned outright by the Named Executive Officer (or by his or her spouse or minor children), common stock held in trust for the benefit of the Named Executive Officer (or his or her spouse or minor children), or restricted stock or RSUs granted pursuant to the equity compensation plans of Skyworks for which restrictions have lapsed, count towards the requirement. Unexercised options, whether or not vested, and restricted stock and RSUs still subject to risk of forfeiture, as well as any unissued performance shares, do not count towards the requirement. All of Skyworks' current named executive officers are in compliance with the executive officer stock ownership guidelines as of the date hereof, except for Mr. Brace and Mr. Carter, who are not required to comply with the guidelines until the fifth anniversary of their respective appointments as an executive officer of Skyworks.

(1) For purposes of the executive officer stock ownership guidelines, the fair market value of Skyworks' common stock is the average closing price per share of Skyworks' common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or if the common stock is not then traded on such market, such other market on which the common stock is traded) for the twelve (12) month period ending with the determination date.

#### Executive Compensation Recoupment Policies
In March 2022, Skyworks adopted an executive compensation recoupment policy (the "2022 Policy") that applies to both cash and equity incentive compensation for executive officers. Under the 2022 Policy, if Skyworks is required to prepare an accounting restatement for one or more periods due to the material

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

noncompliance of Skyworks with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Skyworks Board or a committee of independent directors authorized by the Skyworks Board will investigate the circumstances to determine whether an act or omission of a current or former executive officer, involving fraud or intentional misconduct, contributed to the circumstances resulting in the restatement. Following the investigation, Skyworks may require repayment of certain incentive-based compensation received by the executive officer in the three-year period preceding restatement.

In November 2023, Skyworks adopted a new executive compensation recovery policy (the "2023 Policy") for purposes of complying with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing standards. The 2023 Policy provides that, in the event Skyworks is required to prepare an accounting restatement on or after October 2, 2023 (the "Effective Date") due to the material noncompliance of Skyworks with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws, Skyworks will act to recover the amount of incentive-based compensation received on or after the Effective Date, by its current and former Section 16 officers, as applicable, in excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation that would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amount, subject to limited exceptions. In the event that an accounting restatement is not covered by the 2023 Policy but is covered by the 2022 Policy, the 2022 Policy will apply. In the event that an accounting restatement could be covered by both the 2022 Policy and 2023 Policy, only the 2023 Policy will apply.

#### Prohibition on Hedging and Certain Other Transactions
Skyworks prohibits its directors, officers, and employees (or any of their designees) from directly or indirectly engaging in the following transactions with respect to securities of Skyworks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • selling short, including short sales "against the box";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • buying or selling put or call options; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of securities of Skyworks, whether through the use of traded securities, privately negotiated derivative securities, or synthetic financial instruments.

In addition, Skyworks prohibits its directors, officers, and employees from purchasing Company securities on margin, borrowing against Company securities held in a margin account, or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

#### Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
For fiscal year 2025, Skyworks will be unable to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers, as specified under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Compensation and Talent Committee uses its judgment to authorize compensation payments that may be subject to the limit when the Compensation and Talent Committee believes such payments are appropriate and in the best interests of Skyworks and its stockholders.

#### Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
It is Skyworks' practice to make stock-based compensation awards to executive officers in November of each year at a prescheduled Compensation and Talent Committee meeting, which may be close in time before or after Skyworks publicly announces financial results for the prior completed quarter or fiscal year or when Skyworks publicly provides an outlook for a future quarter or time period. During fiscal year 2025, Skyworks did not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation, nor did it grant any stock options to any of its executive officers.

#### Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
 *Mr. Brace* 

The Company entered into a Change in Control / Severance Agreement with Mr. Brace on February 17, 2025 (the "Brace Agreement") in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President.

The Brace Agreement sets out severance benefits that become payable if, within the period of time commencing three (3) months prior to and ending two (2) years following a change in control, Mr. Brace's employment is either (i) terminated by Skyworks without cause, or (ii) terminated by him for good reason (a "Qualifying Termination"). The severance benefits provided to Mr. Brace in such circumstances would consist of the following: (i) a lump-sum payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) his annual base salary immediately prior to the change in control, and (B) the target annual short-term cash incentive opportunity for the year in which the change of control occurs (or, if no target has yet been set for such year, the target annual short-term cash incentive opportunity for the prior year); (ii) if he has not yet received a cash incentive award under Skyworks' executive incentive plan for the fiscal year preceding the date of termination of his employment, the executive incentive plan award Mr. Brace would have received for such prior fiscal year had he remained employed by Skyworks on the date of payment; (iii) all of Mr. Brace's then-outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of thirty (30) months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms); and (iv) COBRA continuation for up to eighteen (18) months after the termination date.

The Brace Agreement also provides that in the event of a Qualifying Termination, Mr. Brace is entitled to full acceleration of the vesting of all of his outstanding equity awards (including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, and all earned but unissued performance-based equity awards). At the time of a change in control, all such outstanding equity awards would continue to be subject to the same time-based vesting schedule to which the awards were subject prior to the change in control (including performance-based equity awards that are deemed earned at the time of the change in control as described below). For performance-based equity awards where the change in control occurs prior to the end of the applicable performance period, such awards would be deemed earned as to the greater of (i) the target level of shares for such awards, or (ii) if such calculation is determined to be practicable by the Compensation and Talent Committee, the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such awards based upon performance up through and including the day prior to the date of the change in control. In the event that the successor or surviving company does not agree to assume, or to substitute for, such outstanding equity awards on substantially similar terms with substantially equivalent economic benefits as exist for each such award immediately prior to the change in control, then such awards would accelerate in full as of the change in control.

The Brace Agreement also sets out severance benefits outside a change in control that become payable if Mr. Brace's employment is terminated by Skyworks without cause or if Mr. Brace terminates his employment with Skyworks for good reason. The severance benefits provided to Mr. Brace under such circumstance would consist of the following: (a) a lump sum equal to one and one-half (1.5) times (x) his annual base salary, and (y) target annual short-term cash incentive opportunity then-in effect (or, if no target has been set for such year, the target annual short-term cash incentive opportunity for the prior year);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(b) if he has not yet received a cash incentive award under Skyworks' executive incentive plan for the fiscal year preceding the date of termination of his employment, the executive incentive plan award he would have received for such prior fiscal year had he remained employed by Skyworks on the date of payment; (c) (i) all of his stock options would become immediately exercisable and would remain exercisable for a period of two (2) years after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms), (ii) each outstanding time-based restricted stock award (including an award of time-based RSUs) would become immediately vested and free from restrictions as of such termination date, and (iii) he would be entitled to receive the number of performance shares (x) that are earned but unissued and (y) he would have earned had he remained employed through the measurement date (where the termination date is prior to the measurement date of an award) with respect to a performance metric for which the measurement date is no more than twelve (12) months after the termination date; and (d) COBRA continuation coverage for up to fifteen (15) months after the termination date.

In the event of a termination of his employment by reason of Mr. Brace's death or permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the IRC), the Brace Agreement provides for full acceleration of the vesting of all then-outstanding equity awards subject to time-based vesting (including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, and all performance-based equity awards where the performance period has ended and the shares are earned but unissued). The Brace Agreement also provides that for a performance-based equity award where Mr. Brace's death or permanent disability occurs prior to the end of the performance period, such award would be deemed earned as to the greater of (i) the target level of shares for such award, or (ii) the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such award had he remained employed through the end of the performance period, and such earned shares would become vested and issuable to him after the performance period ends. In addition, all outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year following the termination of employment (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms).

Except for the Brace New Hire PSA, which is governed by the Performance Share Agreement dated February 17, 2025 between Skyworks and Mr. Brace (the "Brace PSA Agreement"), all of Mr. Brace's equity awards that were outstanding as of October 3, 2025 are subject to the terms of the Brace Agreement described above. The Brace PSA Agreement provides that if Mr. Brace's employment is terminated outside of a change in control due to death or disability, by Skyworks without cause, or by Mr. Brace for good reason, any shares subject to the Brace New Hire PSA that have satisfied the performance-based vesting condition but that remain subject to time-based vesting ("earned shares") will become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and any shares that have not satisfied the performance-based vesting condition ("unearned shares") will terminate and be forfeited. The Brace PSA Agreement also provides that, in the event of a change in control during the term of the award where Mr. Brace remains employed by Skyworks, (i) each earned share as of immediately prior to the closing of the change in control will be converted into the right to receive the per-share amount payable or available for distribution to holders of Company common stock in connection with the change in control (the "per share transaction price") on the original vesting date applicable to such earned share, subject to Mr. Brace's continued employment with Skyworks or its successor on such vesting date; and (ii) any unearned shares will become earned (the "CIC Earned Shares") as of immediately prior to the closing of the change in control solely to the extent the share price hurdle (upon which performance is measured) to which the unearned shares relate is less than the per-share transaction price, with each such CIC Earned Share being converted into the right to receive the per-share transaction price on the one-year anniversary of the closing of the change in control, subject to Mr. Brace's continued employment with Skyworks or its successor on such date and any remaining unearned shares being terminated and forfeited. If, within one year following the change in control, Mr. Brace's employment is terminated by Skyworks or its successor without cause, by Mr. Brace for good reason or due to death or disability, vesting for all such earned shares and CIC Earned Shares will accelerate such that those shares will become fully vested and payable to Mr. Brace. If the successor in a change in control does not assume or substitute the earned shares and the CIC Earned Shares with the right to receive the per-share transaction price, then all earned shares and CIC Earned Shares will become fully vested as of the change in control.

Additionally, the Brace Agreement and the Brace PSA Agreement require that Mr. Brace sign a release of claims in favor of Skyworks before he is eligible to receive any severance benefits under the Brace Agreement and the Brace PSA Agreement. The Brace Agreement also contains a non-solicitation provision

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

applicable to Mr. Brace while he is employed by Skyworks and for twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment.

The terms "change in control," "cause," and "good reason", as such terms are used in the Brace Agreement and the Brace PSA Agreement, are each defined in the Brace Agreement. Change in control means, in summary: (i) the acquisition by a person or a group of 40% or more of the outstanding stock of Skyworks; (ii) a change, without approval by the Skyworks Board, of a majority of the Skyworks Board; (iii) the acquisition of Skyworks by means of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or asset sale; or (iv) stockholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of Skyworks. Cause means, in summary: (i) deliberate dishonesty that is significantly detrimental to the best interests of Skyworks; (ii) conduct constituting an act of moral turpitude; (iii) conviction of, or plea of guilty or *nolo contendere* to, a felony, (iv) willful disloyalty or insubordination; or (v) incompetent performance or substantial or continuing inattention to or neglect of duties. Good reason means, in summary: (i) a material diminution in his base compensation, authority, duties, or responsibilities over which he retains authority; (ii) a requirement that Mr. Brace report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Skyworks Board; (iii) a material change in his office location; or (iv) any action or inaction constituting a material breach by Skyworks of the terms of the agreement.

Each of the Brace Agreement and the Brace PSA Agreement is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the IRC. The payments due to Mr. Brace under the Brace Agreement and the Brace PSA Agreement are subject to potential reduction in the event that such payments would otherwise become subject to excise tax incurred under Section 4999 of the IRC, if such reduction would result in his retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis, than if he had received all of the payments due.

 *Mr. Carter, Mr. Sennesael, Mr. Kasnavi, Mr. Terry, and Ms. Durham* 

The Company entered into a Change in Control / Severance Agreement with Mr. Carter on September 8, 2025 and Amended and Restated Change in Control / Severance Agreements with each of Mr. Sennesael, Mr. Kasnavi, Mr. Terry, and Ms. Durham on May 10, 2023, respectively. Each such Change in Control / Severance Agreement and Amended and Restated Change in Control / Severance Agreement is referred to herein as a "CIC Agreement." As discussed below in "*Severance and Change in Control Benefits Plan*," each of the named executive officers, other than Mr. Brace, who was employed at the time the Severance Plan was adopted in November 2025 executed a participation agreement pursuant to which they agreed to terminate their CIC Agreements and become subject to the Severance Plan.

Each CIC Agreement set out severance benefits that became payable if the executive officer experienced a Qualifying Termination. The severance benefits provided to the executive in such circumstances consisted of the following: (i) a lump sum payment equal to one and one-half (1<sup>1</sup>∕2) times the sum of (A) all of the executive's annual base salary immediately prior to the change in control, and (B) the CIC Bonus Amount; (ii) all of the executive's then-outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of eighteen (18) months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms); and (iii) COBRA continuation for up to eighteen (18) months after the termination date. The "CIC Bonus Amount" was an amount equal to the greater of (x) the average of the annual short term cash incentive awards received for the three (3) years prior to the year in which the change of control occurred and (y) the target annual short term cash incentive award for the year in which the change in control occurred.

Each CIC Agreement also provided that in the event of a Qualifying Termination, the executive was entitled to full acceleration of the vesting of all of his outstanding equity awards (including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, and all earned but unissued performance-based equity awards). At the time of a change in control, all such outstanding equity awards would continue to be subject to the same time-based vesting schedule to which the awards were subject prior to the change in control (including performance-based equity awards that would be deemed earned at the time of the change in control as described below). For performance-based equity awards where the change in control occurred prior to the end of the performance period, such awards were deemed earned as to the greater of (i) the target level of shares for such awards, or (ii) if such calculation was determined to be practicable by the Compensation and Talent Committee, the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such awards based upon performance up through and including the day prior to the date of the change in control. In the event that the successor or surviving company did not agree to assume, or to substitute for, such

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

outstanding equity awards on substantially similar terms with substantially equivalent economic benefits as existed for such award immediately prior to the change in control, then such awards would accelerate in full as of the change in control.

Each CIC Agreement also set out severance benefits outside a change in control that would become payable if the executive's employment was terminated by Skyworks without cause. The severance benefits provided to the executive under such circumstance consisted of the following: (i) biweekly compensation continuation payments commencing not more than sixty (60) days after such termination and continuing for a period of twelve (12) months, with each such compensation continuation payment being equal to the aggregate payment amount divided by twenty-six (26), where the aggregate payment was equal to the sum of (x) his then-current annual base salary, and (y) any short-term cash incentive award then due; (ii) all then-vested outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms); and (iii) COBRA continuation coverage for up to twelve (12) months after the termination date.

In the event of the executive's death or permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the IRC), each CIC Agreement provided for full acceleration of the vesting of all then-outstanding equity awards subject to time-based vesting (including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, and all performance-based equity awards where the performance period had ended and the shares were earned but unissued). Each CIC Agreement also provided that for a performance-based equity award where the executive's death or permanent disability occurred prior to the end of the performance period, such award was deemed earned as to the greater of (i) the target level of shares for such award, or (ii) the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such award had the executive remained employed through the end of the performance period, and such earned shares would become vested and issuable to the executive after the performance period ends. In addition, all outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of employment (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms).

All of the equity awards that were outstanding as of October 3, 2025 for each of Mr. Carter, Mr. Kasnavi, Mr. Terry, and Ms. Durham were subject to the terms described above for the CIC Agreements. Mr. Sennesael's employment with Skyworks ended on May 9, 2025. He did not receive any severance benefits under his CIC Agreement in connection with his voluntary departure from Skyworks.

Each CIC Agreement was intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the IRC and had an initial two (2) year term, and thereafter renewed automatically on an annual basis for up to five (5) additional years unless either Skyworks or the executive timely provided a notice of non-renewal to the other prior to the end of the then-current term. The payments due to each executive under his or her CIC Agreement were subject to potential reduction in the event that such payments would otherwise have become subject to excise tax incurred under Section 4999 of the IRC, if such reduction would have resulted in the executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis, than if he had received all of the payments due.

Additionally, each CIC Agreement required that the executive sign a release of claims in favor of Skyworks before he was eligible to receive any benefits under the agreement. Each CIC Agreement also contained non-solicitation provisions applicable to the executive while he was employed by Skyworks and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment.

The terms "change in control," "cause," and "good reason" were each defined in the CIC Agreements. Change in control means, in summary: (i) the acquisition by a person or a group of 40% or more of the outstanding stock of Skyworks; (ii) a change, without approval by the Skyworks Board, of a majority of the Skyworks Board; (iii) the acquisition of Skyworks by means of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or asset sale; or (iv) stockholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of Skyworks. Cause means, in summary: (i) deliberate dishonesty that is significantly detrimental to the best interests of Skyworks; (ii) conduct constituting an act of moral turpitude; (iii) willful disloyalty or insubordination; or (iv) incompetent performance or substantial or continuing inattention to or neglect of duties. Good reason means, in summary: (i) a material diminution in the executive's base compensation, authority, duties, or responsibilities; (ii) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the executive's supervisor; (iii) a material

change in the executive's office location; or (iv) any action or inaction constituting a material breach by Skyworks of the terms of the agreement.

The following table summarizes the payments and benefits that would be made by Skyworks to the named executive officers who were employees of Skyworks as of October 3, 2025, in the following circumstances as of such date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • termination without cause outside of a change in control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • termination without cause or for good reason in connection with a change in control; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • in the event of a termination of employment because of death or disability.

The accelerated equity values in the table reflect a price of $77.10 per share, which was the closing sale price of Skyworks' common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 3, 2025. The table does not reflect any equity awards made after October 3, 2025.

(including awards of RSUs), and the right to receive the number of performance shares under outstanding PSAs that are earned but unissued and that he would have earned had he remained employed through the end of the applicable performance period; and (iii) COBRA continuation for him and his eligible dependents ("COBRA continuation") for up to fifteen (15) months after the termination date. The "Bonus Amount" is an amount equal to the greater of (x) the average of the short-term cash incentive awards received for the three (3) years prior to 2025, and (y) the target annual short-term cash incentive award for 2025. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with his severance, Mr. Griffin forfeited his PSA award granted for fiscal year 2025, and his RSU award vested on a pro rata basis with respect to 5,934 shares.

Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the Griffin Agreement, Mr. Griffin signed a release of claims in favor of Skyworks before he was eligible to receive any benefits under the Griffin Agreement. The Griffin Agreement contained a non-solicitation provision that provided that Mr. Griffin may not solicit any of Skyworks' employees for twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment.

The Bonus Amount was $3,760,000, which is equal to the "target" short-term cash incentive award for fiscal year 2025. The value of Mr. Griffin's unvested equity that accelerated on May 16, 2025 totaled $7,202,862. In addition, Mr. Griffin received a cash payment for accrued but unused vacation in the amount of $180,771 and 15 months company-paid COBRA premiums in the amount of $43,193. The total benefits that Mr. Griffin received upon his departure from Skyworks effective and as of May 16, 2025 was $13,554,636. Following his departure from Skyworks and pursuant to the terms of the Griffin Agreement, the outstanding PSA granted in fiscal year 2024 with respect to the EBITDA margin percentile ranking metric that Mr. Griffin would have earned had he remained employed through the end of the applicable performance period was issued on November 7, 2025 in the amount of $1,098,112. In addition, Mr. Griffin continues to hold outstanding PSAs granted in fiscal year 2024 with respect to the TSR percentile ranking metric that may be earned after the end of the applicable performance period ending on October 2, 2026.

 *Severance and Change in Control Benefits Plan* 

In November 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee adopted the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan applies to individuals who are (i) regular full-time employees who are, or were immediately prior to the occurrence of a change in control, Senior Vice Presidents or above, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and (ii) not otherwise designated as ineligible to receive severance benefits under the Severance Plan (each, a "Covered Executive"). The Severance Plan does not apply to Skyworks' Chief Executive Officer. Any employee who is party to a CIC Agreement is not eligible to receive severance benefits under the Severance Plan unless he or she executes a participation agreement under the Severance Plan that provides, among other things, for the termination of his or her CIC Agreement. Each of the named executive officers, other than Mr. Brace, who was employed at the time the Severance Plan was adopted in November 2025 executed a participation agreement that provided for, among other things, the termination of his or her CIC Agreement, and became subject to the Severance Plan.

The Severance Plan sets out severance benefits that become payable if, while employed by Skyworks, other than following a change in control, the Covered Executive is terminated by Skyworks without cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) more than three months prior to or more than two years following a change in control (the "Severance Benefits"). The Severance Benefits provided to the Covered Executive in such circumstances would consist of the following: (i) a single lump sum payment equal to the Covered Executive's then current base salary, (ii) an amount, in cash, equal to the Covered Executive's annual short-term incentive opportunity for the year in which termination of employment occurs, to the extent of actual achievement of the performance goals applicable thereto, and prorated based on the number of full months the Covered Executive worked for Skyworks during the applicable performance year; (iii) to the extent it has not yet been paid, pay the Covered Executive the amount, in cash, of any short-term incentive award the Covered Executive would have received for the fiscal year preceding the date of the Covered Executive's termination of employment had the Covered Executive remained employed through the applicable payment date; and (iv) COBRA continuation for up to twelve (12) months after the termination date.

The Severance Benefits under the Severance Plan also provide that: (i) any outstanding and unvested equity awards held by the Covered Executive as of the termination date that vest solely based on the continued performance of services (including performance-based equity awards the performance period(s) of which have been completed but which remain subject to service-based vesting) will become vested, exercisable and

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

free from forfeiture, as applicable, with respect to the portion of such equity awards that otherwise would have become vested during the twelve (12) month period following the termination date; (ii) any outstanding performance-based equity award that vests in whole or in part based upon the achievement of performance metrics and for which, as of an applicable date, the measurement date (i.e., the last day of the applicable performance period) has not occurred (each, an "In-Flight Performance Award") held by the Covered Executive as of the termination date, will, to the extent the measurement date would occur within twelve (12) months of the termination date, remain outstanding, be deemed earned as to the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such award had the Covered Executive remained employed through the applicable measurement date, and automatically become vested, exercisable and free from forfeiture, as applicable, with respect to 100% of such earned shares; and (iii) all outstanding stock options that are exercisable as of the termination date will remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms).

The Severance Plan also sets out severance benefits that become payable if, within the period beginning three (3) months prior to and ending two (2) years following a change in control, the Covered Executive's employment is either (i) terminated by Skyworks without cause, or (ii) terminated by the Covered Executive for good reason ("Change in Control Severance Benefits"). The Change in Control Severance Benefits would consist of the following: (i) a single lump sum, an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the sum of (a) the Covered Executive's base salary as of immediately prior to the change in control, and (b) the Covered Executive's target annual short-term cash incentive opportunity for the year in which the change in control occurs; (ii) to the extent it has not yet been paid, the Covered Executive the amount, in cash, of any short-term incentive award the Covered Executive would have received for the fiscal year preceding the date of the Covered Executive's termination of employment had the Covered Executive remained employed through the applicable payment date; and (iii) COBRA continuation for up to eighteen (18) months after the termination date.

The Change in Control Severance Benefits under the Severance Plan also provide that any outstanding and unvested equity awards held by the Covered Executive as of the termination date that vest solely based on the continued performance of services (including performance-based equity awards the performance period(s) of which have been completed (or deemed to have been completed, as described below) but which remain subject to service-based vesting) will become vested, exercisable and free from forfeiture, as applicable, in full, with all such outstanding equity awards continuing to be subject to the same time-based vesting schedule to which the awards were subject prior to the change in control (including performance-based equity awards that are deemed earned at the time of the change in control as described below). For In-Flight Performance Awards, such awards would be deemed earned as to the greater of (i) the target level of shares for such awards, or (ii) if such calculation is determined to be practicable by the Compensation and Talent Committee, the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such awards based upon performance up through and including the day prior to the date of the change in control. In the event that the successor or surviving company does not agree to assume, or to substitute for, such outstanding equity awards on substantially similar terms with substantially equivalent economic benefits as exist for such awards immediately prior to the change in control, then such awards would accelerate in full as of the change in control. In addition, all outstanding stock options would remain exercisable for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of employment (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms).

The Severance Plan also provides that in the event of a Covered Executive's termination of employment by reason of death or permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the IRC), all then-outstanding equity awards that vest solely based on the continued performance of services (including performance-based equity awards the performance period(s) of which have been completed but which remain subject to service-based vesting) will become vested, exercisable and free from forfeiture, as applicable, in full. In addition, each In-Flight Performance Award would be deemed earned as to the greater of (i) the target level of shares for such award, or (ii) the number of shares that would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such award had the Covered Executive remained employed through the end of the performance period, and such earned shares would become vested and issuable to the Covered Executive after the performance period ends. In addition, all outstanding stock options that are exercisable as of the termination date would remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of employment (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms).

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

The payments due to each Covered Executive under the Severance Plan are subject to limitation under Skyworks' Executive Officer Cash Severance Limitation Policy and potential reduction in the event that such payments would otherwise become subject to excise tax incurred under Section 4999 of the IRC, if such reduction would result in the Covered Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis, than if he had received all of the payments due.

The terms "change in control," "cause," and "good reason" are each defined in the Severance Plan. Change in control means, in summary: (i) the acquisition by a person or a group of 40% or more of the outstanding stock of Skyworks; (ii) a change, without approval by the Skyworks Board, of a majority of the Skyworks Board; (iii) the acquisition of Skyworks by means of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or asset sale; or (iv) stockholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of Skyworks. Cause means, in summary: (i) deliberate dishonesty that is significantly detrimental to the best interests of Skyworks; (ii) conduct constituting an act of moral turpitude; (iii) willful disloyalty or insubordination; or (iv) incompetent performance or substantial or continuing inattention to or neglect of duties. Good reason means, in summary: (i) a material diminution in the Covered Executive's base compensation, authority, duties, or responsibilities; (ii) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the Covered Executive's supervisor; (iii) a material change in the Covered Executive's office location; or (iv) any action or inaction constituting a material breach by Skyworks of the terms of any agreement under which the Covered Executive provides services.

#### CEO Pay Ratio
Following is an estimate, prepared under applicable SEC rules, of the ratio of the annual total compensation of Skyworks' Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of its other employees. For fiscal year 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The annualized total compensation of Skyworks' current Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brace, who was appointed to the role effective February 17, 2025, is $25,611,697.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The annual total compensation of Skyworks' median compensated employee was $34,250.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Based on the foregoing, Skyworks estimates that its Chief Executive Officer's total annual compensation was approximately 748 times that of its median employee.

To determine the median of the annual total compensation of its employees, Skyworks applied the following methodology and material assumptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Skyworks did not use the de minimis exception to exclude any non-U.S. employees. Skyworks has a globally diverse workforce with total headcount of approximately 10,000 as of October 3, 2025, of which approximately 76% are located outside the United States, primarily in locations employing large direct labor forces such as Mexico and Singapore where wages are significantly lower than in the United States. The median employee within Skyworks' employee population was identified, consistent with prior years, as of the last day of Skyworks' fiscal year, or October 3, 2025, and is a full-time employee in its Mexicali, Mexico facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • To identify the median employee, Skyworks used a consistently applied compensation measure that included total taxable earnings paid to its employees in the most recently completed taxable year in their respective jurisdictions. This included base salary, overtime pay, shift premiums, recognition bonuses, annual cash incentive awards, and long-term stock-based incentive awards. Skyworks annualized the compensation of permanent, full-time, and part-time employees who were hired after the beginning of the most recently completed taxable year in their respective jurisdictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Using this consistently applied compensation measure, Skyworks identified an employee at the median and calculated such employee's total compensation for fiscal year 2025 in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Skyworks did not use any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Since Mr. Brace was appointed Chief Executive Officer and President effective February 17, 2025, Skyworks annualized his base salary and short-term incentive compensation, and added the disclosed values of his stock-based compensation awards and other components of All Other Compensation

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

to arrive at a value of $25,458,149, used for the ratio of annual total compensation for its Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation for its median employee. Skyworks annualized Mr. Brace's total compensation as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **SCT Components**  | **Actual <br> Values <br> from SCT**  | **Annualized <br> Values <br> + One-Time <br> Values**  | **Treatment**  |
| Salary  | $571154 | $926873 | Annualized salary |
|  Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation  | $1155048 | $1874420 | Annualized short-term incentive comp  |
| Stock Awards  | $22608588 | $22608588 | One-time equity awards not annualized  |
| All Other Compensation  | $201816 | $201816 | Not annualized |
| **Total CEO Pay**  | $24536606 | $25611697 |  |

---

Skyworks believes its pay ratio presented above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

#### Director Compensation
The Skyworks Board sets the compensation for Skyworks' non-employee directors, after receiving the recommendations of the Compensation and Talent Committee. In formulating its recommendations, the Compensation and Talent Committee seeks and receives input from Aon related to the amounts, terms, and conditions of director cash compensation and stock-based compensation awards, with the goal of establishing non-employee director compensation that is similar to, and competitive with, the compensation of non-employee directors at peer companies in the semiconductor industry.

#### Cash Compensation
Non-employee directors are paid, in quarterly installments, an annual retainer of $90,000. Additional annual retainers for Chairman, Lead Independent Director, and/or committee service (paid in quarterly installments) are as follows: any non-employee Chairman of the Skyworks Board ($130,000); the Lead Independent Director, if one has been appointed ($50,000); the Chairman of the Audit Committee ($30,000); the Chairman of the Compensation and Talent Committee ($20,000); the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee ($15,000); non-chair member of Audit Committee ($15,000); non-chair member of Compensation and Talent Committee ($10,000); and non-chair member of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee ($7,500). In addition, the Compensation and Talent Committee continues to retain discretion to recommend to the full Board that additional cash payments be made to a non-employee director for extraordinary service during a fiscal year.

#### Equity Compensation
Currently, following each annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director who is reelected and does not serve as Chairman of the Skyworks Board will receive a grant of RSUs having a value of approximately $225,000 while each non-employee director who is reelected and serves as Chairman of the Skyworks Board will receive a grant of RSUs having a value of approximately $250,000. Any newly appointed non-employee director will receive an initial equity grant of RSUs having a value of approximately $225,000. The number of shares subject to a non-employee director's initial RSU award or annual award is determined by dividing the approximate value of the award, as stated above, by the average closing price per share of Skyworks' common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or if the common stock is not then traded on such market, such other market on which the common stock is traded) for each trading day during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the grant date. Unless

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

otherwise determined by the Skyworks Board, (a) a non-employee director's initial equity grant of RSUs will vest in three (3) equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, and (b) a non-employee director's annual equity grant of RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In the event of a change in control of Skyworks, any outstanding options and RSUs awarded under the 2008 Director Long-Term Incentive Plan will become fully exercisable and deemed fully vested, respectively.

No director who is also an employee receives separate compensation for services rendered as a director. Mr. Brace is currently the only director who is also an employee of Skyworks.

#### Director Compensation Table
The following table summarizes the compensation paid to Skyworks' non-employee directors for fiscal year 2025. Mr. Brace and Mr. Schriesheim are excluded from the table because each is a Named Executive Officer and their compensation is set forth above, under "*Compensation Tables for Named Executive Officers — Summary Compensation Table.*"

#### Director Stock Ownership Requirements
Skyworks has adopted Director Stock Ownership guidelines with the objective of more closely aligning the interests of its directors with those of its stockholders. The minimum number of shares of Skyworks' common stock that the Director Stock Ownership guidelines require non-employee directors to hold while serving in their capacity as directors is the director base compensation (currently $90,000) multiplied by five (5), divided by the fair market value of Skyworks' common stock (rounded to the nearest 100 shares). For purposes of the Director Stock Ownership guidelines, the fair market value of Skyworks' common stock is the average closing price per share of Skyworks' common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or if the common stock is not then traded on such market, such other market on which the common stock is traded) for the twelve (12) month period ending with the determination date. All of Skyworks' directors have met the stock ownership guidelines as of the date hereof (with the exception of Ms. Turcke who is not required to comply with the guidelines until the fifth anniversary of her appointment to the Skyworks Board).

#### Pay Versus Performance
The following tables and related disclosures provide information about (i) the "total compensation" of our principal executive officer ("PEO") and, on average, our other named executive officers (the "Other NEOs") as presented in the Summary Compensation Table (the "SCT Amounts"), (ii) the "compensation actually paid" to our PEO and our Other NEOs, as calculated pursuant to the SEC's pay-versus-performance rules (the "CAP Amounts"), (iii) certain financial performance measures, and (iv) the relationship of the CAP Amounts to those financial performance measures.

This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the executives or how our Compensation Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. For further discussion of how our Compensation Committee seeks to align pay with performance when making compensation decisions, please review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this report. The Company's executive compensation program reflects our pay-for-performance philosophy.

Overall, our executive compensation is closely aligned with stockholder returns, as a substantial portion of compensation to our PEO and Other NEOs is in the form of long-term stock-based compensation awards, where the potential value that may be earned fluctuates depending on the movement of our stock price and/or the achievement of performance goals.

The following table lists the five financial performance measures that, in our assessment, represent the most important performance measures we use to link the CAP Amounts for our named executive officers for fiscal year 2025 (our most recently completed fiscal year) to company performance. Of these measures, we have identified revenue as the most important.

#### SKYWORKS PROPOSALS

#### Proposal 1: The Stock Issuance Proposal

#### (Proposal 1 on Skyworks Proxy Card)
Skyworks stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the Stock Issuance Proposal, a proposal to approve the Skyworks Stock Issuance. For a summary and detailed information regarding the Stock Issuance Proposal, see the information about the Mergers and the Merger Agreement throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the information set forth in sections entitled "*The Mergers*" and "*The Merger Agreement*." A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Under Nasdaq Rule 5635(a), a Nasdaq-listed company is required to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of another company if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock or voting power outstanding before such issuance of shares.

The number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock issuable as consideration in connection with the Mergers is expected to exceed the abovementioned threshold. If the Mergers are consummated, it is currently estimated as of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, that Skyworks may issue up to approximately 93,130,325 shares of Skyworks Common Stock as part of the Merger Consideration, which would exceed 20% of the shares of Skyworks Common Stock outstanding before such issuance. It is also estimated as of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, that Skyworks may grant Adjusted RSU Awards covering up to approximately 8,276,972 shares of Skyworks Common Stock in the Mergers.

Approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal by Skyworks stockholders is required to complete the Transactions, including the Mergers. If the Stock Issuance Proposal is not approved, the Mergers will not be consummated.

If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, your shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposal.

The affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the Skyworks stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon will be required to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal (assuming a quorum is present).

#### THE SKYWORKS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SKYWORKS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

#### Proposal 2: The Skyworks Adjournment Proposal

#### (Proposal 2 on Skyworks Proxy Card)
Skyworks stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, a proposal that will give the Skyworks Board authority to adjourn the Skyworks Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal at the time of the Skyworks Special Meeting or if quorum is not present at the Skyworks Special Meeting or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Skyworks stockholders. If the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal is approved, the Skyworks Special Meeting could be adjourned to any date. Skyworks could adjourn the Skyworks Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the Skyworks Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from Skyworks stockholders who have previously voted against the Stock Issuance Proposal, and/or ensure quorum is present at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

If the Skyworks Special Meeting is adjourned, Skyworks stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do

not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, or if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the Stock Issuance Proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal, your shares of Skyworks Common Stock will be voted in favor of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal. If you indicate, however, that you wish to vote against the Stock Issuance Proposal, your shares of Skyworks Common Stock will only be voted in favor of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the Skyworks Adjournment Proposal.

The affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon will be required to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal (assuming a quorum is present).

#### QORVO PROPOSALS

#### Proposal 1: The Merger Agreement Proposal

#### (Proposal 1 on Qorvo Proxy Card)
Qorvo stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers. For a summary and detailed information regarding the Merger Agreement Proposal, see the information about the Mergers and the Merger Agreement throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the information set forth in sections entitled "*The Mergers*" and "*The Merger Agreement*." A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal by Qorvo stockholders is required to complete the Transactions. If the Merger Agreement Proposal is not adopted, the Mergers will not be consummated.

The approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Qorvo Special Meeting (assuming a quorum is present).

#### THE QORVO BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT QORVO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE MERGER AGREEMENT PROPOSAL.

#### Proposal 2: The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal

#### (Proposal 2 on Qorvo Proxy Card)
Under Section 14A of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-21(c) thereunder, Qorvo is required to submit a proposal to its common stockholders for an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve certain compensation that may be paid or become payable to Qorvo's named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the Mergers as discussed in "*The Mergers — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*," including the footnotes to the table and the associated narrative discussion. The Qorvo Board unanimously recommends that Qorvo stockholders approve the following resolution:

 *"RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Qorvo in connection with the Mergers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in the table in the section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled "The Mergers — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers — Interests of Qorvo Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers" including the footnotes to the table and the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements and plans pursuant to which such compensation may be paid or become payable, is hereby APPROVED."* 

The vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is a vote separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Qorvo Special Meeting and is not a condition to the consummation of the Mergers. Accordingly, you may vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal and vote not to approve the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and vice versa. Because the vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is advisory only, it will not be binding on Qorvo or Skyworks. Accordingly, if the Merger Agreement is adopted and the Mergers are consummated, the merger-related compensation will be payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of the vote on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.

The approval of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal at the Qorvo Special Meeting (meaning the number of votes cast "**FOR**" this proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "**AGAINST**"), assuming a quorum is present; however, such vote is non-binding and advisory only.

#### THE QORVO BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT QORVO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE MERGER-RELATED COMPENSATION PROPOSAL.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

#### Proposal 3: The Qorvo Adjournment Proposal

#### (Proposal 3 on Qorvo Proxy Card)
Qorvo stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, which will give the Qorvo Board or any committee thereof authority to adjourn the Qorvo Special Meeting from time to time, if it deems necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal at the time of the Qorvo Special Meeting or if quorum is not present at the Qorvo Special Meeting or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Qorvo stockholders. If the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal is approved, the Qorvo Special Meeting could be adjourned one or more times to any date or dates. Qorvo could adjourn the Qorvo Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the Qorvo Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from Qorvo stockholders who have previously voted against the Merger Agreement Proposal, and/or to ensure quorum is present at the Skyworks Special Meeting.

If the Qorvo Special Meeting is adjourned, Qorvo stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, or if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal, your shares of Qorvo Common Stock will be voted in favor of the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal.

The vote on the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal is separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Qorvo Special Meeting and is not a condition to the consummation of the Mergers.

Assuming a quorum is present at the Qorvo Special Meeting, approval of the Qorvo Adjournment Proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present or represented by proxy at the Qorvo Special Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Qorvo Special Meeting, then the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present or represented by proxy, have the power to adjourn.

#### DESCRIPTION OF SKYWORKS CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of the capital stock of Skyworks, is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws, each of which is an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025, filed with the SEC on November 7, 2025, and incorporated by reference herein. Skyworks encourages you to read the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation, the Skyworks Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, for additional information.

#### General
Skyworks' authorized capital stock consists of 550 million shares of capital stock, of which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 525 million shares are designated as Skyworks Common Stock, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 25 million shares are designated as preferred stock, without par value.

#### Common Stock
The holders of Skyworks Common Stock are entitled to one (1) vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of Skyworks' stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Skyworks Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends and distributions declared by the Skyworks Board out of assets or funds legally available. Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Skyworks, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Skyworks Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment to creditors and the liquidation preference of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of Skyworks Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Skyworks Common Stock.

#### Preferred Stock
No shares of Skyworks' preferred stock are outstanding. Pursuant to the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation, the Skyworks Board has the authority, without further action by its stockholders, to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. The Skyworks Board may designate the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, redemption rights, sinking fund terms, liquidation preference terms, conversion rights, and voting rights. A series of Skyworks' preferred stock could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.

#### Description of Certain Terms in Skyworks' Charter Documents and Delaware Law That May Have Anti-Takeover Effects
The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring, preventing, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of Skyworks.

*Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock.* As discussed above under "*Preferred Stock*," the Skyworks Board has the ability to designate and issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could delay or deter hostile takeovers or changes in its control or management.

*Limits on Ability of Stockholders to Call a Special Meeting.* The Skyworks Bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by a majority of the Skyworks Board or by Skyworks' secretary upon written request by stockholders holding at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock, subject to such stockholders' compliance with certain other requirements. This may delay or impede the ability of Skyworks' stockholders to force consideration of a proposal.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

*Prohibition on Stockholder Action by Written Consent.* The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action taken by the stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by its stockholders.

*Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.* The Skyworks Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Skyworks Board. These advance notice procedures may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed and may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempt to obtain control of Skyworks.

*Election of Directors*. The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws contain provisions that establish specific procedures for appointing and removing members of the Skyworks Board. Under the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships on the Skyworks Board may be filled only by a majority of the directors then serving on the Skyworks Board, and directors may only be removed from office by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors.

*No Cumulative Voting*. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise. The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws do not expressly provide for cumulative voting. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder may not be able to gain as many seats on the Skyworks Board as the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on the Skyworks Board to influence the Skyworks Board's decision regarding a takeover or other corporate transaction.

*Approval of Business Combinations.* The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation requires that the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors be obtained for a business combination unless approved by a majority of the members of the Skyworks Board and, in the event that the other party to the business combination is the beneficial owner of 5% or more of Skyworks' shares, a majority of the members of the Skyworks Board in office prior to the time such other party became the beneficial owner of 5% or more of Skyworks' shares. The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation increases the approval threshold to 90% of the shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors in the case of a business combination with any "related person" (as defined in the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation). In addition to the provisions in the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws, Section 203 of the DGCL generally provides that a corporation may not engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder during the three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless a majority of the directors then in office approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder or specified stockholder approval requirements are met. The provisions of Delaware law and the provisions of the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation and the Skyworks Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers or other transactions the Skyworks Board does not approve in advance. These provisions might also have the effect of preventing changes in Skyworks' management.

*Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation.* The Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation includes a number of supermajority voting provisions that could make it more difficult to change certain of the provisions described above. These provisions require the affirmative vote of 80% of the shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors to amend or repeal the provisions of the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation relating to the election and removal of directors, the right to act by written consent, or the approval of a business combination, and the affirmative vote of 90% of the shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors to amend or repeal the provisions of the Skyworks Certificate of Incorporation relating to the approval of a business combination with any related person.

#### DATES FOR SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2026 ANNUAL MEETING

#### Skyworks
Skyworks will hold a regular annual meeting of stockholders in 2026 (the "Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting") regardless of whether the Mergers are completed.

Proposals to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must meet the requirements of Rule 14a-8 and must have been delivered in writing to the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company at its executive offices at 5260 California Avenue, Irvine, CA 92617, no later than November 28, 2025. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the proxy materials for the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting.

According to the applicable provisions of the Skyworks Bylaws, if a stockholder wishes to present a proposal at the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting outside the processes of Rule 14a-8, with such proposal not to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for such meeting, then the stockholder must give written notice to the Secretary of Skyworks at the address noted above no earlier than the close of business on January 14, 2026, and no later than the close of business on February 13, 2026. In the event that the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than sixty (60) days, from the first anniversary of Skyworks' 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then the required notice must be delivered in writing to the Secretary of Skyworks at the address above no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date of the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting and no later than the later of ninety (90) days prior to the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the public announcement of the date of the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting is first made by Skyworks. A proposal that is submitted outside of these time periods will not be considered to be timely and, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the Exchange Act and if a stockholder properly brings the proposal before the meeting, the proxies that management solicits for that

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC4)

meeting will have "discretionary" authority to vote on the stockholder's proposal. Even if a stockholder makes timely notification, the proxies may still exercise "discretionary" authority in accordance with the SEC's proxy rules.

A stockholder (or a group of up to twenty (20) stockholders) who has owned at least three (3%) percent of the outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock continuously for at least three (3) years, and has complied with the other requirements in the Skyworks Bylaws, may nominate and include in Skyworks' proxy materials a number of director nominees up to the greater of two (2) individuals or 20% of the Board. Written notice of a proxy access nomination for inclusion in Skyworks' proxy statement for the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting must be received in writing by the Secretary of Skyworks at the address above no earlier than December 15, 2025, and no later than January 14, 2026. In the event that the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting is held more than thirty (30) days before, or more than sixty (60) days after (other than as a result of adjournment), the first (1st) anniversary of Skyworks' 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then the required notice must be received in writing by the Secretary of Skyworks at the address above no earlier than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the date of the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the public announcement of the date of the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting is first made by Skyworks. Such notice must include the information specified in Article II, Section 8(A)(3) of the Skyworks Bylaws.

Stockholders are also advised to review the Skyworks Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. The Skyworks Bylaws are on file with the SEC and are available through its website at *www.sec.gov*.

As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Skyworks has not set a date for the Skyworks 2026 Annual Meeting.

#### Qorvo
Under SEC Rule 14a-8, a stockholder who wishes to present a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement for Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders must submit the proposal in writing to Qorvo's Corporate Secretary at Qorvo, Inc., 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, North Carolina 27409, no later than February 26, 2026, and such proposal must also comply with the other applicable SEC requirements in respect thereof. SEC rules set standards for the types of stockholder proposals and the information that must be provided by the stockholder making the request.

A stockholder may also submit a proposal, including nomination of a director, to be considered at Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Qorvo bylaws. Pursuant to proxy access provisions of the Qorvo bylaws, a stockholder, or group of up to twenty (20) eligible stockholders, that has continuously owned for no less than three (3) years at least 3% of the outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock, may nominate and include in Qorvo's proxy materials up to the greater of two (2) directors or 20% of the number of directors serving on the Qorvo Board on the last day on which a stockholder notice may be delivered pursuant to such provisions; provided that the stockholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the Qorvo bylaws. Eligible stockholders must submit such nominations between January 27, 2026 and February 26, 2026.

Under the Qorvo bylaws, a stockholder may also submit a proposal, including nomination of a director, other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or the proxy access provisions of the Qorvo bylaws, in which case, the proposal would not be required to be included in Qorvo's proxy statement for Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and the proposal must be received by Qorvo's Corporate Secretary not less than one hundred twenty (120) days nor more than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the prior year's annual stockholder meeting. This notice must include the information required by the provisions of the Qorvo bylaws. The deadline for delivery of a stockholder proposal pursuant to the Qorvo bylaws in connection with Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders would be between March 16, 2026 and April 15, 2026. Alternatively, if Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders is held more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after the anniversary of Qorvo's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, then the deadline for delivery of a stockholder proposal pursuant to the Qorvo bylaws in connection with Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders would instead be no earlier than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to such meeting and no later than then later of one hundred twenty (120) days prior

to such annual meeting or ten (10) days after the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by Qorvo.

As of December 23, 2025, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Qorvo has not set a date for Qorvo's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

#### HOUSEHOLDING OF JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two (2) or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or notice, as applicable, addressed to those stockholders. As permitted by the Exchange Act, only one (1) copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus is being delivered to stockholders residing at the same address, unless stockholders have notified the company whose shares they hold of their desire to receive multiple copies of the joint proxy statement/prospectus. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Even if a stockholder's household or address has received only one (1) copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, a separate proxy card should have been provided for each stockholder account. Each individual proxy card should be signed, dated, and returned in the postage-prepaid envelope (or completed and submitted by telephone or via the internet, as described on the proxy card). If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate joint proxy statement/prospectus, or if you are receiving multiple copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and wish to receive only one (1), please contact the company whose shares you hold at their address identified below. Each of Skyworks and Qorvo will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to any stockholder residing at an address to which only one (1) copy was mailed. Requests for additional copies should be directed to: Secretary, Skyworks Solutions, Inc., 5260 California Avenue, Irvine, CA 92617-3073 or contact the Secretary of Skyworks by telephone at (949) 231-3000, or to Secretary, Qorvo, Inc., 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, NC 27409-9421, or contact the Secretary of Qorvo by telephone at (336) 664-1233.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Qorvo Common Stock held by a holder who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Qorvo Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who has otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as "<u>Dissenting Shares</u>" until such time as such holder fails to perfect, validly withdraws its demand for, or otherwise loses such holder's appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with <u>Section 3.1(a)(iii)</u>, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) If any Dissenting Shares lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, effective as of the later of the Effective Time and the date of loss of such status, such shares will be deemed automatically to have been converted into, and shall represent only, the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with <u>Section 3.1(a)(iii)</u>, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Qorvo Stock Certificate representing such shares or, if such shares are Uncertificated Qorvo Shares, upon compliance with the procedures established by the Exchange Agent for the transfer of such Uncertificated Qorvo Shares, in each case in accordance with <u>Section 3.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) Qorvo shall give Skyworks: (A) prompt notice of any demand for appraisal received by Qorvo prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Qorvo prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL and relating to any demand for appraisal; and (B) the opportunity to participate in (but not direct) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument relating to any demand for appraisal. Qorvo shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Skyworks has given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such payment or settlement offer.

Section 3.2 <u>Treatment of Qorvo Equity Awards and Equity Plans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) <u>Qorvo RSU Awards</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) At the Effective Time, each Qorvo RSU Award that is (A) vested but not yet settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (B) by its terms becomes vested in all respects as a result of the occurrence of the Closing or (C) is held by a non-employee member of the Qorvo Board as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "<u>Accelerated Qorvo RSUs</u>"), shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive (1) the Merger Consideration in respect of each

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

share of Qorvo Common Stock that was subject to such Accelerated Qorvo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (2) an amount in cash equal to all dividend equivalents, if any, accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time with respect to each such Accelerated Qorvo RSU (collectively, the "<u>Accelerated RSU Consideration</u>"). The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Accelerated Qorvo RSUs that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (i.e., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined) shall be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance (except that such number for each holder with an individual agreement as set forth on <u>Section 7.9(h)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule (each, an "<u>Individual Agreement</u>") shall be determined by assuming achievement at the greater of (I) target performance and (II) actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee of the Qorvo Board).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) At the Effective Time, each Qorvo RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than an Accelerated Qorvo RSU, without any action on the part of Skyworks, Qorvo or the holder thereof, shall be assumed by Skyworks and converted automatically into and become a restricted stock unit award covering shares of Skyworks Common Stock (each, an "<u>Adjusted RSU Award</u>"), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Qorvo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as set forth in this <u>Section 3.2(a)(ii)</u> and other than performance-based vesting conditions, which shall not apply following the Effective Time, with dividend equivalents continuing to accrue in respect of such Adjusted RSU Awards and with all accrued dividend equivalents (whether accrued prior to, at or after the Effective Time) paid at the time that such Adjusted RSU Award is settled), except that the number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock subject to the Adjusted RSU Award as of the Effective Time will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to the corresponding Qorvo RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares in the resulting product rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock subject to any Qorvo RSU Award that remains subject to performance-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, including any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents thereon (i.e., any Qorvo RSU Award for which the level of performance vesting has not yet been determined), shall be determined by assuming, in respect of such Qorvo RSU Award, achievement at target performance (except that such number for each holder with an Individual Agreement shall be determined by assuming achievement at the greater of (1) target performance and (2) actual performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee of the Qorvo Board). In the event of a termination of employment of any holder of an Adjusted RSU Award by Skyworks, the Surviving Company or one of their Affiliates without "cause" or by such holder with "good reason" (as defined in the applicable Qorvo Stock Plan or award agreement), in each case within the eighteen (18)-month period following the Closing Date, any such Adjusted RSU Award(s) held by such holder shall accelerate and vest in full. For the avoidance of doubt, any unpaid dividend equivalents accrued in respect of an Adjusted RSU Award shall be paid at such time as the Adjusted RSU Award vests and settles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) <u>Qorvo ESPP</u>. Qorvo shall take the necessary actions with respect to the Qorvo ESPP so that: (i) any Offering Period or Purchase Period (as such terms are defined in the Qorvo ESPP) in effect as of the last payroll date occurring prior to the Closing shall be shortened by setting a new "Exercise Date" (within the meaning of the Qorvo ESPP) in respect of such Offering Period or Purchase Period, as applicable, that is no later than such payroll date (after crediting contributions for such payroll date) (the "<u>Offering Period End Date</u>") and, on the Offering Period End Date, each outstanding option or purchase right under the Qorvo ESPP shall be exercised; (ii) as of the Offering Period End Date, the Qorvo ESPP shall be suspended, and no offering periods or purchase periods shall be thereafter commenced and no further payroll deductions or other contributions shall be thereafter made or effected with respect to the Qorvo ESPP; and (iii) subject to the consummation of the Mergers, the Qorvo ESPP shall terminate, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Skyworks shall cause the Surviving Company to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Company (to the extent applicable) the Accelerated RSU Consideration to each holder of a Accelerated Qorvo RSU, less any required withholding Taxes and without interest, within seven (7) Business Days following the Effective Time; <u>provided</u> that to the extent payment within such time or on such date would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty. The aggregate amount required to be withheld in respect of Taxes in respect of the Accelerated RSU Consideration shall be applied first to reduce the aggregate Merger Consideration payable in shares of Skyworks Common Stock and then, only if and to the extent that such withholding amount exceeds such stock portion, to reduce the portion of the Merger Consideration that is payable in cash (if any). The number of shares of Skyworks Common Stock to be withheld shall be determined based on the closing price of a share of Skyworks Common Stock on the date of payment of such Accelerated RSU Consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Qorvo Board (or, if applicable, any appropriate committee thereof) shall take, or cause to be taken, all reasonably necessary and appropriate action under the Qorvo Stock Plans (and the underlying grant, award or similar agreements) and Qorvo ESPP, including adopting resolutions providing for the treatment of the Qorvo RSU Awards and Qorvo ESPP as contemplated by this <u>Section 3.2</u>, to carry out the treatment of Qorvo RSU Awards and Qorvo ESPP contemplated by this <u>Section 3.2</u>.

Section 3.3 <u>Exchange of Shares and Certificates</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) <u>Exchange Agent</u>. Prior to the Effective Time, Skyworks shall designate an exchange agent (the "<u>Exchange Agent</u>") for the purpose of exchanging, in accordance with this <u>Article III</u>, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares (each, as defined below) for the Merger Consideration. In addition, at or prior to the Effective Time, Skyworks shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock (i) cash and (ii) evidence of shares of Skyworks Common Stock, in amounts sufficient to deliver the Merger Consideration (such cash and shares, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, hereinafter, the "<u>Exchange Fund</u>"). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to <u>Section 3.1</u> out of the Exchange Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) <u>Exchange Procedures</u>. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate (a "<u>Certificate</u>") or book-entry share (a "<u>Book-Entry Share</u>") that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Qorvo Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, as applicable: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as determined by Skyworks); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Skyworks, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that amount of Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this <u>Article III</u>, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If any portion of the applicable Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration of such Merger Consideration that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this <u>Section 3.3</u>, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration. No interest shall

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) <u>Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares</u>. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Skyworks Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to any shares of Skyworks Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(e)</u>, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this <u>Article III</u>. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder of shares of Skyworks Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, (A) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Skyworks Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(e)</u> and (B) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Skyworks Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) <u>No Further Ownership Rights in Qorvo Common Stock</u>. All Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this <u>Article III</u> shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Qorvo Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation (or any register of members or similar of the Surviving Company) of the shares of Qorvo Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Skyworks or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this <u>Article III</u>, except as otherwise provided by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) <u>Fractional Shares</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) No certificates representing fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Skyworks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Qorvo Common Stock converted pursuant to the First Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Skyworks Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fraction as determined below. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (A) the number of full shares of Skyworks Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Skyworks for issuance to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares over (B) the aggregate number of full shares of Skyworks Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (such excess being herein referred to as the "<u>Excess Shares</u>"). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("<u>Nasdaq</u>"), all in the manner provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on Nasdaq and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares is entitled (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares then held by such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders subject to and in accordance with this <u>Section 3.3(e)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) <u>Return of Merger Consideration</u>. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(a)</u> that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Skyworks, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this <u>Article III</u> shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Skyworks for payment of their claim for any Merger Consideration (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock) and any dividends or distributions with respect to Skyworks Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g) <u>No Liability</u>. None of Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock) or any dividends or distributions with respect to Skyworks Common Stock in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Skyworks, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (h) <u>Investment of Merger Consideration</u>. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Skyworks; <u>provided</u>, that no losses on such investments shall affect the cash payable to former holders of shares of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to this <u>Article III</u>. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Skyworks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) <u>Withholding Rights</u>. Each of Skyworks, Qorvo, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent, and their respective agents, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Body, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (j) <u>Lost Certificates</u>. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Skyworks or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Skyworks or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Qorvo Common Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Skyworks Common Stock, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Skyworks Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.4 <u>Certain Adjustments</u>. If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Skyworks Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, dividend payable in stock or other securities or other similar transaction, the Exchange Ratio and, only

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC5)

in the event of any such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange, dividend or similar transaction with respect to Qorvo Common Stock, the Per Share Cash Amount, and related provisions shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Qorvo Common Stock or Qorvo RSU Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange, dividend or other similar transaction. Nothing in this <u>Section 3.4</u> shall be construed to permit any party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.5 <u>Further Assurances</u>. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors or managers, as applicable, of Skyworks, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Skyworks or Qorvo, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf thereof, any other actions and things necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in Skyworks or the Surviving Company, as applicable, any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by Skyworks or the Surviving Company, as applicable, as a result of, or in connection with, the Mergers.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC6)

Commitment, together with all other sources of cash available to Skyworks on the Closing Date, will be sufficient for the payment of all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Debt Financing Commitment, including the payment of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, and all costs, fees and expenses of the Mergers payable by Skyworks, Merger Subs, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company in connection with the Mergers, and any repayment or refinancing of indebtedness contemplated by this Agreement and the Debt Financing Commitment (collectively, the "<u>Financing Uses</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter and each Fee Letter are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded, or amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived in any respect, and no such amendment, restatement, modification, withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated or the subject of current discussions (other than any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, modification or supplement to the Debt Financing Commitment to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, underwriters, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter or such Fee Letters as of the date of this Agreement). The Debt Commitment Letter and each Fee Letter are a legal, valid and binding obligation of Skyworks and, to the Knowledge of Skyworks, each of the other parties thereto, enforceable against Skyworks and, to the Knowledge of Skyworks, each of the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies directly or indirectly related to the funding of the full amount (or any portion) of the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, constitutes, or could constitute, a breach, default or failure to satisfy a condition under the Debt Financing Commitment by or on the part of Skyworks or, to Skyworks' Knowledge, any other party to the Debt Financing Commitment under the Debt Financing Commitment. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts, arrangements or understandings of any kind (written or oral) directly or indirectly related to the Debt Financing or the Debt Financing Commitment except for customary engagement letters or non-disclosure agreements which do not impact the conditionality or amount of the Debt Financing.

As of the date of this Agreement, no Person that is a party to the Debt Financing Commitment has notified Skyworks (or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) of its intention to terminate any of its obligations under the Debt Financing Commitment or to not provide the Debt Financing.

Section 7.9 <u>Employee Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) For purposes of this <u>Section 7.9</u>, (i) the term "<u>Covered Employees</u>" means employees who are actively employed by Qorvo or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing and who remain employed by Skyworks, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries immediately after the Closing; and (ii) the term "<u>Continuation Period</u>" means the period beginning at the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) During the Continuation Period, Skyworks shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Skyworks to, provide to each Covered Employee for so long as such Covered Employee remains employed by Skyworks or any of its Subsidiaries during the Continuation Period, (i) an annual base salary or base wage rate that is no less favorable than the annual base salary or base wage rate that was provided to the Covered Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) a total annual target cash opportunity (i.e., inclusive of annual base salary or base wage rate and any applicable target annual cash bonus opportunity, and excluding any equity or equity-based compensation opportunity) that is no less favorable than the total annual target cash opportunity that was provided to the Covered Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) severance pay and benefits at levels that are no less favorable than the greater of (x) the levels of such severance pay and benefits as in effect under the Qorvo Plans immediately prior to the Closing and (y) the levels of such severance pay and benefits applicable to similarly situated employees of Skyworks, and (iv) other employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension benefits, retiree

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC7)

health and insurance benefits, and equity and equity-related incentive compensation) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to Covered Employees under the Qorvo Plans immediately prior to the Closing. Furthermore, it is Skyworks' present intention that, during the Continuation Period, it shall provide Covered Employees with annual long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than, at Skyworks' election, the long-term incentive compensation opportunities, if any, (x) provided to similarly situated employees of Skyworks or (y) provided to such Covered Employees immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that, with respect to any such annual long-term incentive compensation awarded to a Covered Employee during such Continuation Period, the terms set forth on <u>Section 7.9(b)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedules shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) In the event any Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate under any employee benefit plan, program, policy, or arrangement of Skyworks or any of its Subsidiaries ("<u>Skyworks Plan</u>") following the Closing, Skyworks shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Skyworks to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) waive any preexisting condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to any Covered Employee under any Skyworks Plan providing medical, dental, or vision benefits to the same extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Qorvo Plan the Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Skyworks Plan; and (ii) provide each Covered Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid under a Qorvo Plan prior to the Covered Employee's coverage under any corresponding Skyworks Plan during the plan year in which the Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate in the applicable Skyworks Plan, to the same extent such credit was given under the employee benefit plan Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Skyworks Plan, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Skyworks Plan for the plan year in which the Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate in such Skyworks Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) As of the Closing, Skyworks shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Skyworks to, use reasonable best efforts to recognize the service of each Covered Employee prior to the Closing to Qorvo (or any predecessor entities of Qorvo or any of the Qorvo Subsidiaries) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan, eligibility for early retirement subsidies, eligibility for or benefits accruals under any retiree medical or insurance program or vesting of any equity or equity-related incentive compensation (except as required pursuant to this Agreement)) to the same extent as such Covered Employee received, immediately before the Closing, credit for such service under any similar Qorvo Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing. In no event shall anything contained in this <u>Section 7.9</u> result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) Unless otherwise requested in writing by Skyworks, the Qorvo Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate any Qorvo Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (collectively, the "<u>Qorvo 401(k) Plans</u>"), effective no later than the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and, effective as of such date, no employee of Qorvo or any Qorvo Subsidiary shall have any right thereafter to contribute any amounts to the Qorvo 401(k) Plans. Qorvo shall provide Skyworks with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment, in advance of any such adoption or corporate action, on any such resolutions or corporation actions. If the Qorvo 401(k) Plans are terminated in accordance with this <u>Section 7.9(e)</u>, effective as of the Closing, Skyworks shall permit each Covered Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a Qorvo 401(k) Plan, to be eligible to participate in a Skyworks Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (the "<u>Skyworks 401(k) Plan</u>") effective as of, or as soon as administrative feasible following, the Closing Date, and Skyworks shall cause the Skyworks 401(k) Plan to accept the rollover of account balances (including, subject to the following sentence, the in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing outstanding participant loans that are not in default) from the applicable Qorvo 401(k) Plan to the Skyworks 401(k) Plan for each Covered Employee who elects such direct rollover in accordance with the terms of the Qorvo 401(k) Plan and the Code. Qorvo and Skyworks shall cooperate in good faith to work with the Qorvo 401(k) Plan and Skyworks 401(k) Plan recordkeepers to develop a process and procedure for effecting the in-kind direct rollover of promissory notes evidencing participant loans from the Qorvo 401(k) Plan to the Skyworks 401(k) Plan, and the obligation of the Skyworks 401(k) Plan to accept the direct rollover of loan

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC7)

promissory notes is conditioned on the development of a loan rollover process and procedure that is acceptable to the respective recordkeepers. In the event that a process and procedure acceptable to the Qorvo 401(k) Plan and Skyworks 401(k) Plan recordkeepers for effecting the in-kind rollover of loan promissory notes is agreed upon, Qorvo and Skyworks shall take any and all commercially reasonable actions needed to permit each Covered Employee with an outstanding loan balance under a Qorvo 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date to continue to make scheduled loan payments to the Qorvo 401(k) Plan after the Closing, pending the distribution and in-kind rollover of such promissory notes evidencing such loans, so as to prevent, to the extent reasonably possible, a deemed distribution or loan offset with respect to such outstanding loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) Prior to the Closing, Skyworks and Qorvo shall cooperate in timely satisfying any notice, information, consent, or consultation obligations, and other similar requirements in respect of any applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, or in accordance with applicable Law, to any labor or trade union, works council, labor organization or similar employee representative that may be triggered by this Agreement or the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g) Prior to the Closing, Skyworks and Qorvo will each grant retention incentives to their respective key employees pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth on <u>Section 7.9(g)</u> of the Skyworks Disclosure Schedule and on <u>Section 7.9(g)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule, respectively (the "<u>Skyworks Retention Terms</u>" and the "<u>Qorvo Retention Terms</u>," respectively), plan documents for which shall be adopted prior to the Closing in forms to be mutually agreed between Skyworks and Qorvo (the "<u>Skyworks Retention Plan</u>" and the "<u>Qorvo Retention Plan</u>," respectively, and, together, the "<u>Retention Plans</u>")). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Closing does not occur, Skyworks shall be solely liable for all costs and liabilities relating to the Skyworks Retention Plan and Qorvo shall be solely liable for all costs and liabilities relating to the Qorvo Retention Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (h) Skyworks acknowledges and agrees that the Closing will constitute a "Change in Control" or "Change of Control" (or other similar phrase) within the meaning of each Qorvo Plan that contains change in control provisions. From and after the Closing, Skyworks shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, be bound by, honor and comply with the terms of each such Qorvo Plan containing provisions relating to a "Change in Control" or "Change of Control" (or other similar phrase). <u>Section 7.9(h)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of each Individual Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) This <u>Section 7.9</u> shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing in this <u>Section 7.9</u>, express or implied, (i) shall be construed to limit the right of Skyworks, Qorvo, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any Qorvo Service Provider Benefit Plan or Skyworks Service Provider Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of them, (ii) shall be construed to require Skyworks, Qorvo, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to retain the employment of any particular Person for any fixed period of time following the Closing, (iii) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement or (iv) is intended to confer upon any Person (including employees, retirees, or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or any remedy of any nature whatsoever hereunder.

Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including with respect to (A) the Mergers and the other Transactions and (B) actions to enforce this <u>Section 7.10</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) All rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement and reimbursement of expenses by Qorvo or any Qorvo Subsidiary existing in favor of the Indemnified Persons for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in Qorvo's or the applicable Qorvo Subsidiary's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar organizational documents (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in those indemnification agreements between Qorvo or any Qorvo Subsidiary and such Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement), will survive the Mergers and continue in full force and effect (to the extent such rights to indemnification are available under and consistent with applicable law) for a period of six years following the date on which the Mergers become effective, and the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries will (and Skyworks will cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of Qorvo or any Qorvo Subsidiary in respect of such rights of indemnification, exculpation and advancement and reimbursement of expenses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any Indemnified Person notifies Skyworks on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing of a matter in respect of which such Indemnified Person intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section 7.10</u>, the provisions of this <u>Section 7.10</u> shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

If any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) exceed the Maximum Premium in the aggregate, then Skyworks may reduce the amount of coverage of such Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Skyworks shall cause the Surviving Company or, prior to the Effective Time, Qorvo shall have the right to purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable "tail" policy on the Existing D&O Policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six (6) years from the Closing Date and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Existing D&O Policy; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Surviving Company shall not be obligated to, and Qorvo shall not (without the prior written consent of Skyworks), expend an amount for such "tail" policy in excess of the Maximum Premium. If such "tail" policy is purchased, Skyworks shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain such "tail" policy in full force and effect in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Company under the first sentence of this <u>Section 7.10(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) The provisions of this <u>Section 7.10</u> shall survive consummation of the Mergers and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons (and his or her heirs), who are intended third-party beneficiaries of this <u>Section 7.10</u> from and after the Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (n) Skyworks agrees to provide Qorvo and its Representatives drafts of all financing documents and any materials that are to be presented during any meetings conducted in connection with the Debt Financings (including any Alternative Financing or Capital Markets Issuance) with a reasonable time to review and comment on such documents and materials, and Qorvo agrees to use reasonable best efforts to review all such offering documents and marketing materials and identify for Skyworks any information contained therein that it reasonably believes constitutes material non-public information with respect to Qorvo and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) ("<u>Identified MNPI</u>"). If Qorvo identifies any Identified MNPI, and such information is customarily included in such documents or marketing materials for debt financing of the type consistent with the Debt Financing, is reasonably requested by Skyworks to be included in the offering documents or marketing materials for the Debt Financing and does not include information as to which Qorvo reasonably objects ("<u>Acceptable MNPI</u>"), then Qorvo and Skyworks shall consult with one another to discuss the inclusion of any Acceptable MNPI in the offering documents and the filing by Qorvo of a Current Report on Form 8-K or other public dissemination of such Acceptable MNPI. Skyworks shall remove all such Identified MNPI that is not Acceptable MNPI from such offering documents and marketing materials upon reasonable request by Qorvo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (o) With respect to the actions required by this <u>Section 7.16</u>, Qorvo shall not be required to make any representation, warranties or certifications as to which, after Qorvo's use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause such representation, warranty or certification to be true, Qorvo has in its good faith determined that such representation, warranty or certification is not true.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (p) In no event shall Skyworks or any of its Affiliates prohibit or seek to prohibit any commercial bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing, including the Financing Sources Related Parties, from providing financing or financial advisory services to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to Qorvo or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) If, but only if, this Agreement is terminated: (A) pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(c)</u> as a result of a Restraint with respect to any applicable Antitrust Law of any jurisdiction set forth on <u>Section 8.1(c)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule or any Investment Screening Law of any jurisdiction set forth on <u>Section 8.1(c)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule or any U.S. Antitrust Law; or (B) pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(b)</u> and, at the time of termination, all conditions set forth in <u>Article VIII</u> (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions set forth in <u>Section 8.1(c)</u> or <u>Section 8.1(d)</u> (solely, in each case, in connection with any applicable Antitrust Law in the jurisdictions identified in <u>Section 8.1(c)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule or any Investment Screening Law in the jurisdictions identified in <u>Section 8.1(c)</u> of the Qorvo Disclosure Schedule or any U.S. Antitrust Law), then Skyworks shall pay or cause to be paid to Qorvo a non-refundable fee in the amount of $100,000,000 (such non-refundable fee, the "<u>Reverse Termination Fee</u>") in cash within three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) If, but only if, this Agreement is terminated pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(e)</u> (Failure to Obtain Skyworks Stockholder Approval at the Skyworks Stockholder Meeting), then Skyworks shall pay to Qorvo, in cash, within three (3) Business Days of the date of such termination, Qorvo's reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with the Transactions; <u>provided</u>, that such expenses shall not exceed $45,000,000. The payment contemplated by this Section 9.3<u>(f)</u> shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Qorvo and shall be reduced by any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law in respect of Taxes. Upon payment of such expenses, each of Skyworks, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall have no further liability to Qorvo with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than any payments required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 9.3(d)</u> (it being understood that the amount of any such subsequent payment shall be reduced by the amount of any payments made by Skyworks pursuant to this <u>Section 9.3(f)</u>); <u>provided</u> that nothing herein shall release any party from liability for fraud or the willful and material breach by Skyworks of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, all payments under this <u>Section 9.3</u> (including the Qorvo Termination Fee, the Skyworks Termination Fee and the Reverse Termination Fee) shall be payable only once and not in duplication, even though the payments under this <u>Section 9.3</u> may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. If Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, fails promptly to pay the applicable payment under this <u>Section 9.3</u> when due and payable, and, in order to obtain such payment, Qorvo or Skyworks, as the case may be, commences an action or other proceeding that results in an award against Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, for such payment under this <u>Section 9.3</u>, Qorvo or Skyworks, as applicable, shall pay the other party's costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such action or proceeding, together with interest on the amount of the payment due under this <u>Section 9.3</u> from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in *The Wall Street Journal* in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (h) Without limiting the rights of Skyworks under the Debt Financing Commitment or the rights of any of Skyworks and its Subsidiaries under any Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, Qorvo agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of (i) the Financing Sources or (ii) any of their respective Affiliates or any of such Financing Sources' or their Affiliates' respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, agents, officers, directors, employees, accountants, advisors or representatives or any of their respective successors or assigns (the Persons described in this clause "(ii)" being collectively referred to as the "<u>Financing Sources Related Parties</u>") shall have any liability or obligation to Qorvo or any of its stockholders, Affiliates,

Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereto hereby waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with the remedies described herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.9 <u>Amendment</u>. At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects by written agreement signed by all of the parties hereto and Qorvo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.10 <u>Extension of Time; Waiver</u>. Any party hereto may, subject to applicable Law: (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto; (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto; or (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance by the other party hereto with any of the agreements contained in this Agreement or, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, waive any of such party's conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the parties hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such rights preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by all of the parties hereto and Qorvo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.11 <u>Severability</u>. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.12 <u>Assignment</u>. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties and Qorvo, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Attention: Philip Carter, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

<u>Project Comet</u>

<u>US$3,050,000,000 Bridge Facility</u>

<u>Commitment Letter</u> 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>" or "<u>you</u>"), has advised Goldman Sachs Bank USA ("<u>Goldman Sachs</u>" and, together with each person that becomes a party hereto as an additional "Commitment Party" pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the "<u>Commitment Parties</u>", "<u>we</u>" or "<u>us</u>") that it intends to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached as <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Exhibits hereto. This commitment letter, together with the Exhibits hereto, is referred to as this "<u>Commitment Letter</u>".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. <u>Commitment</u>. In connection with the foregoing, and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver by us of the conditions expressly set forth in <u>Exhibit C</u> to this Commitment Letter, Goldman Sachs hereby commits to provide to the Company 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility (and each Tranche thereof) on the terms set forth herein and in <u>Exhibit B</u> hereto. It is understood and agreed that any event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date that would result in a mandatory commitment reduction with respect to the Bridge Facility (and either Tranche thereof) as set forth in <u>Exhibit B</u> hereto under the section titled "Mandatory Commitment Reductions/Prepayments" shall reduce the amount of the Bridge Facility (and such Tranche thereof), and the aggregate amount of the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder (on a pro rata basis as among the Commitment Parties, based on the amount of their respective commitments under such Tranche at such time), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and you agree to give the Commitment Parties prompt written notice of the occurrence of any such event, together with a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of any such reduction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. <u>Appointment of Roles</u>. You hereby appoint (a) Goldman Sachs to act, and Goldman Sachs hereby agrees to act, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner in respect of the Bridge Facility (in such capacities, the "<u>Arranger</u>") and (b) Goldman Sachs to act, and Goldman Sachs hereby agrees to act, as the sole administrative agent for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the "<u>Administrative Agent</u>"), in each case on the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter.

It is agreed that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, co-arrangers, bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded (in each case, other than pursuant to the Syndication Plan (as defined below)), and no compensation will be paid (other than the compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters (as defined below)), in each case, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Bridge Facility unless the Company and the Arranger shall so agree. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any such appointment or title award, Goldman Sachs will appear on the top left of the cover page of any marketing materials or other documentation for the Bridge Facility (and each Tranche thereof), and will have the authority and perform the functions conventionally understood to be associated with such name placement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. <u>Syndication</u>. The Arranger intends to commence syndication of the Bridge Facility (it being understood that the Arranger may elect to syndicate one but not the other Tranche or may elect to syndicate both of the Tranches simultaneously or at different times) promptly after the public announcement of the Merger. The Arranger will manage and determine, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof); <u>provided</u> that until the date that is 45 days after the date hereof (the "<u>Initial Syndication Period</u>"), the determinations as to the selection of Lenders, the acceptance and final allocation of commitments, any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any Lender and the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be paid to the Arranger pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters shall be made in accordance with the syndication plan for the Bridge Facility agreed to (including as to the identity of the prospective Lenders, it being understood that such prospective Lenders are reasonably acceptable to the Company) by the Arranger and the Company on or prior to the date hereof (as it may be amended after the date hereof as agreed by the Arranger and the Company, the "<u>Syndication Plan</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that we will not syndicate the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) to (a) persons that are determined by you to be competitors of you or your subsidiaries and that you have identified, by name, in writing to the Arranger from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date or to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date and (b) affiliates of any person described in clause (a) above (other than bona fide debt fund affiliates) if such affiliates are identified, by name, by you in writing to the Arranger from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date or to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date or are otherwise clearly identifiable as an affiliate of such person based solely on the similarity of such affiliate's name to the name of such person (collectively, the "<u>Disqualified Lenders</u>"), it being understood and agreed that (i) the foregoing provisions shall not apply retroactively to any person if such person shall have previously acquired (or entered into a trade for) an assignment or participation interest, or received an allocation as part of the final allocation of commitments under the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), in each case, prior thereto, but shall disqualify such person from taking any further assignment or participation thereafter, (ii) each written supplement shall become effective two business days after delivery thereof to the Arranger or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and (iii) the list of Disqualified Lenders may be provided, on a confidential basis, to Lenders and to any potential assignees or participants. Any Lender that is selected in accordance with the foregoing provisions is referred to as a "<u>Permitted Lender</u>", it being understood that no Disqualified Lender may be a Permitted Lender. In connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), the Company agrees, at the request of the Arranger, to enter into one or more customary joinder agreements to this Commitment Letter (collectively, the "<u>Joinder Documentation</u>") reasonably acceptable to the Arranger and the Company, in each case, pursuant to which any Permitted Lender may become a party hereto as an additional "Commitment Party" and extend a commitment in respect of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) directly to the Company, which may contain provisions determined by the Arranger in accordance with the syndication provisions set forth above, and in consultation with the Company, with respect to the allocation of titles and roles, rights and responsibilities in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), the allocation of any reductions in the amount of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) and the allocation to such Permitted Lender of certain fees provided for in the Fee Letters (but which will not add any new conditions to the availability of the Bridge Facility, change the amount or terms of the Bridge Facility or increase the aggregate compensation payable by the Company in connection therewith as set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Fee Letters or make any other changes hereto not contemplated above). The commitment of Goldman Sachs hereunder with respect to the Bridge Facility (and the applicable Tranche thereof) shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar and, to the extent of such reduction and subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3, Goldman Sachs shall be released from its obligations solely with respect thereto (it being understood that the remaining commitment of Goldman Sachs shall continue in full force and effect), as and when commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) are received from any Permitted Lender upon such Permitted Lender becoming a party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to the Joinder Documentation. The commitments and other obligations of Goldman Sachs and any Permitted Lender that becomes a party hereto are and shall be several and not joint.

Until the earlier of (a) the date on which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter) is achieved and (b) 60 days after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the "<u>Syndication Date</u>"), you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to actively assist, and to use commercially reasonable efforts

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

(to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances subject to the limitations on your rights set forth in the Merger Agreement) to cause the Qorvo Business to actively assist, the Arranger in completing a syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger and to you. Such assistance shall include (i) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that arrangement and syndication efforts benefit from your and your subsidiaries' existing relationships with banks and other financial institutions, (ii) a reasonable amount of direct contact between your senior management, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and the prospective Lenders, on the other hand, in all such cases at times mutually agreed upon, (iii) your assistance (and your using commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances subject to the limitations on your rights set forth in the Merger Agreement) to cause the Qorvo Business to assist) in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum (the "<u>Confidential Information Memorandum</u>") and other customary marketing materials (including a customary lender presentation) to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger and to you (collectively, the "<u>Information Materials</u>"), (iv) the hosting, with the Arranger, of one or, if determined reasonably necessary, more meetings (which may be virtual) of or conference calls with the prospective Lenders at reasonable times and at reasonable locations to be mutually agreed upon and upon reasonable advance notice and (v) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the commencement of the marketing of the Senior Notes, updates to, or confirmations of, public corporate ratings of the Company and updates to, or confirmations of, public ratings of the Company's senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money from each of Moody's Investor Services, Inc. ("<u>Moody's</u>"), S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. ("<u>S&P</u>"), and Fitch Ratings, Inc. ("<u>Fitch</u>"), in each case taking into account the Transactions. In addition, you agree, prior to the Syndication Date, to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and provide, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances subject to the limitations on your rights set forth in the Merger Agreement) to cause the Qorvo Business promptly to prepare and provide, to the Arranger all customary financial and other information with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries, the Qorvo Business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial projections, estimates and forecasts and other forward-looking information (the "<u>Projections</u>"), as the Arranger may reasonably request in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof). It is understood that, without limiting your representation and warranty set forth in Section 4 hereof or any corresponding representation and warranty in the Bridge Credit Agreement, the Company and the Qorvo Business will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would, in such person's good faith judgment, violate (A) any attorney-client privilege (or result in the loss thereof), (B) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, Qorvo or their respective subsidiaries or (C) any obligation of confidentiality to a third party binding on the Company, Qorvo or their respective subsidiaries (so long as such confidentiality obligation was not entered into in contemplation of the Transactions); <u>provided</u> that you provide us with notice of the existence of any such information that is being withheld. You hereby authorize us to download copies of your trademark logos from your website and to post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other appropriate electronic platform chosen by the Arranger to be its electronic transmission system (an "<u>Electronic Platform</u>") established by the Arranger to syndicate the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), and to use your trademark logos on the Confidential Information Memorandum and other Information Materials or in any advertisements that any of us may place after the Closing Date in financial and other newspapers, journals, the internet or otherwise, at its own expense, describing its services to you hereunder, in each case, that are provided to you for prior review and to which you consent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

You acknowledge that certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, "<u>Public Lenders</u>"; all other prospective Lenders, "<u>Private Lenders</u>") may have personnel who do not wish to receive Private Lender Information (as defined below). You agree, at the request of the Arranger, to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances subject to the limitations on your rights set forth in the Merger Agreement, to cause the Qorvo Business to assist) in the preparation of a version of the Information Materials consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available or (b) not material with respect to the Company, Qorvo or their respective subsidiaries, or any securities of any of the foregoing, for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being "<u>Public Lender Information</u>"; and any

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as "<u>Private Lender Information</u>"). Before distribution of any Information Materials, to the extent requested by the Arranger, you agree to execute and deliver to the Arranger a customary authorization letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to the prospective Lenders, which shall include a customary representation by you as to the accuracy of the Information Materials and, in the case of Information Materials intended to contain solely Public Lender Information, a representation that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information (it being understood that the authorization letter provided by the Company shall, unless a customary authorization letter is provided by Qorvo, cover the Qorvo Business without any qualification as to knowledge). You further agree that each document to be disseminated by the Arranger to any prospective Lender in connection with the Bridge Facility will, at the request of the Arranger, be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information. You acknowledge that the following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders, unless you notify the Arranger promptly (including by e-mail) within a reasonable period of time prior to the intended distribution that any such document contains Private Lender Information (<u>provided</u> that each such document has been provided to you for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (A) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Bridge Facility, (B) administrative materials prepared by the Arranger or the Administrative Agent for the prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda) and (C) notification of changes in the terms of the Bridge Facility. If you advise us in writing (including by email), within a reasonable period of time prior to distribution, that any of the foregoing should be disseminated only to Private Lenders, then Public Lenders will not receive such materials without your consent.

To ensure an orderly and successful syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), prior to the Syndication Date the Company and its subsidiaries will not, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement) to ensure that the Qorvo Business does not, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Arranger (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), syndicate or issue, or announce the syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or any debt security of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Qorvo Business, including any renewals or refinancings of any existing debt facility or debt security, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the general syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), other than (a) the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), (b) the Senior Notes, (c) the Existing Credit Agreement Amendment and any borrowings (including issuances of letters of credit) under the Existing Credit Agreement; <u>provided</u> that the aggregate principal amount thereof does not exceed US$1,000,000,000, (d) any intercompany indebtedness among the Company and/or its subsidiaries or among Qorvo and its subsidiaries, (e) capital leases, letters of credit, foreign subsidiary working capital facilities, purchase money and equipment financings, receivables financings, sale leaseback arrangements or other similar obligations, in each case, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (f) any indebtedness of the Qorvo Business permitted to be incurred by the Qorvo Business after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, or permitted to remain outstanding on the Closing Date, in each case, under the Merger Agreement, (g) any guarantees by the Company of indebtedness of Qorvo permitted to remain outstanding on the Closing Date, (h) any amendments or modifications (including any related exchange offer and/or consent solicitation) with respect to any indebtedness of Qorvo permitted to remain outstanding on the Closing Date, (i) other indebtedness to the extent the net cash proceeds of such debt are utilized to refinance any debt of the Company or its subsidiaries within six months of the maturity thereof and to pay any fees or other amounts in respect thereof or otherwise in connection therewith (including any prepayment or redemption premiums and accrued interest thereon), <u>provided</u> that such refinancing shall be managed or arranged in consultation and coordination with the Arranger and (j) other indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding US$100,000,000.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, (a) without limiting the conditions expressly set forth in <u>Exhibit C</u> to this Commitment Letter or your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder are not subject to or conditioned upon your compliance with this Section 3 or any syndication (or your assistance with respect to such syndication) of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), and that none of the commencement or completion of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) nor the obtaining of updated or confirmed ratings as set forth

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

above shall constitute a condition to the availability or funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date and (b) notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Bridge Facility and to receive commitments with respect thereto, except (i) in respect of assignments of all or any portion of any Commitment Party's commitment hereunder in respect of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) to a Permitted Lender that (A) is a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement, (B) has been agreed to by the Company and the Arranger in writing (including by email) to be a prospective Lender as part of the Syndication Plan, (C) becomes a party hereto pursuant to the applicable Joinder Documentation with the consent of the Company or (D) is a commercial or investment bank that, in the case of this clause (D), at the time of such assignment has corporate rating (however denominated) or senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness rating from S&P that is BBB- or higher or from Moody's that is Baa3 or higher (any person satisfying the requirements of clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above being referred to as a "<u>Specified Permitted Lender</u>") and (ii) in respect of assignments between any Commitment Party and its affiliates as expressly provided in Section 9 hereof, (x) no Commitment Party shall be relieved, released or novated from its commitment hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) until after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date has occurred, (y) no assignment or novation in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) shall become effective, as between the Company and any Commitment Party, with respect to all or any portion of such Commitment Party's commitment hereunder until after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date has occurred and (z) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company (in its sole discretion), each Commitment Party shall retain control over all of its rights and obligations with respect to its commitment hereunder, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, waivers and amendments hereof, until after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date has occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. <u>Information.</u> You hereby represent and warrant that (a) all written information, other than the Projections and other forward-looking information and other than information of a general economic or industry-specific nature (the "<u>Information</u>"), that has been or will be made available to any of the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder does not or will not, when furnished, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (in each case, after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto); <u>provided</u> that, prior to the consummation of the Merger, with respect to any Information regarding the Qorvo Business, the foregoing representation and warranty is made only to your knowledge; and (b) the Projections or other forward-looking information that has been or will be furnished to any of the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections or other forward-looking information are so furnished (it being understood that the Projections or other forward-looking information are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are out of your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized, that the Projections or other forward-looking information is not a guarantee of financial performance and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, the representation and warranty in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect (prior to the consummation of the Merger, to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the information regarding the Qorvo Business) if the Information or the Projections were being furnished at such time and such representation and warranty were being made at such time, then you will promptly notify us and supplement (or, prior to the consummation of the Merger, with respect to information regarding the Qorvo Business, use commercially reasonably efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement) to cause the Qorvo Business to supplement) the Information, the Projections or other forward-looking statements so that such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (prior to the consummation of the Merger, to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the information regarding the Qorvo Business). In structuring, syndicating and arranging the Bridge Facility, we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof, and you acknowledge and agree that we will have no obligation to conduct

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

any independent evaluation or appraisal of your or your subsidiaries' assets or liabilities or the assets or liabilities of the Qorvo Business or any other person or to advise or opine on any solvency issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder are not subject to or conditioned upon the accuracy of the representation and warranty set forth in this Section 4, and the accuracy of such representation and warranty does not constitute a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) on the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. <u>Fees</u>. As consideration for the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder and the Arranger's agreement to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay the fees set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the arranger fee letter dated the date hereof (the "<u>Arranger Fee Letter</u>") and the administrative agent fee letter dated the date hereof (the "<u>Administrative Agent Fee Letter</u>" and, together with the Arranger Fee Letter, the "<u>Fee Letters</u>"), in each case, between Goldman Sachs and you, as and when provided therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6. <u>Conditions Precedent</u>. Each Commitment Party's commitment hereunder and agreements to perform the services described herein are subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver by each of the Commitment Parties of the conditions expressly set forth in <u>Exhibit C</u> hereto, it being understood and agreed that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder (including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters or the Bridge Credit Agreement or the accuracy of representations and warranties set forth herein or therein) other than those that are expressly set forth in <u>Exhibit C</u> hereto (and upon satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the funding under the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall occur).

As used herein, "<u>Rating</u>" means, with respect to S&P, Moody's or Fitch, a public rating by such rating agency of the Company's senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money, giving pro forma effect to the Transactions.

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if any of S&P, Moody's or Fitch shall not have in effect a Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), (i) if only one rating agency shall not have in effect a Rating, the applicable Pricing Category shall be determined by reference to the remaining two effective Ratings, (ii) if two rating agencies shall not have in effect a Rating, one of such rating agencies shall be deemed to have in effect a Rating in Pricing Category 5 and the applicable Pricing Category shall be determined by reference to such deemed Rating and the remaining effective Rating and (iii) if no rating agency shall have in effect a Rating, then Pricing Category 5 shall apply, (b) if the Ratings in effect or deemed to be in effect shall fall within different Pricing Categories, then (i) if three Ratings are in effect, then either (x) if two of the three Ratings are in the same Pricing Category, such Pricing Category shall apply or (y) if all three of the Ratings are in different Pricing Categories, then the Pricing Category corresponding to the middle Rating shall apply and (ii) if only two Ratings are in effect or deemed to be in effect, the applicable Pricing Category shall be the Pricing Category in which the higher of the Ratings shall fall unless the Ratings differ by two or more Pricing Categories, in which case the applicable Pricing Category shall be the Pricing Category one level below that corresponding to the higher Rating and (c) if any Rating shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of the applicable rating agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first publicly announced by the

Each change in the Pricing Category for any Rating shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of any of Moody's, S&P or Fitch shall change, or if such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations and corporate credit, the Company and the Bridge Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Pricing Grid to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of Ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Rating used to determine the Applicable Margin shall be deemed to be that most recently in effect from such rating agency prior to such change or cessation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. The present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities on their debts and other liabilities, on a consolidated basis, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured.

Board of Directors

Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

5260 California Avenue

Irvine, California 92617

Members of the Board:

We understand that Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Parent</u>"), Qorvo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), Comet Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("<u>Merger Sub I</u>"), and Comet Acquisition II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("<u>Merger Sub II</u>"), plan to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 27, 2025 (the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation ("<u>the Surviving Corporation</u>") and the Surviving Corporation becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "<u>First Merger</u>"), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity in the Second Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "<u>Second Merger</u>" and, together with the First Merger, the "<u>Mergers</u>"). Pursuant to the First Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company ("<u>Company Common Stock</u>") issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the "<u>Effective Time</u>"), other than any shares of Company Common Stock that are (x) held by the Company (or held in the Company's treasury) or held, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (y) Dissenting Shares (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), will be converted into the right to receive (A) 0.960 (the "<u>Exchange Ratio</u>") shares of common stock, par value $0.25 per share, of Parent ("<u>Parent Common Stock</u>") (the "<u>Per Share Stock Consideration</u>") and (B) $32.50 in cash, without interest (the "<u>Per Share Cash Consideration</u>" and, together with the Per Share Stock Consideration, the "<u>Merger Consideration</u>"). The terms and conditions of the Mergers are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by Parent pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have reviewed a draft of the Merger Agreement dated October 27, 2025 (the "<u>Draft Merger Agreement</u>"), certain related documents and certain publicly available financial statements of the Company and Parent and other business and financial information of the Company and Parent. We have also reviewed (i) certain forward-looking information relating to the Company prepared by the management of the Company, including financial projections and operating data of the Company, (ii) certain forward-looking information relating to the Company prepared by the management of Parent, including financial projections and operating data of the Company, (iii) certain forward-looking information relating to Parent prepared by the management of Parent, including financial projections and operating data of Parent (the "<u>Parent Projections</u>"), and (iv) certain forward-looking information relating to the new combined company prepared by the management of Parent, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational impacts anticipated from the Mergers prepared by the management of Parent (the "<u>Pro Forma Newco Projections</u>"). Additionally, we discussed the past and current operations

![[MISSING IMAGE: ft_qatalystpartners-bw.jpg]](ft_qatalystpartners-bw.jpg)

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

and financial condition and the prospects of the Company and Parent, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational impacts anticipated from the Mergers, with senior management of the Company and Parent, respectively. We also reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for Company Common Stock and Parent Common Stock, and compared the financial performance of the Company and Parent and the prices and trading activity of Company Common Stock and Parent Common Stock with that of certain other selected publicly-traded companies and their securities. In addition, we reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected acquisition transactions, participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of the Company, Parent and their respective financial and legal advisors, and performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, or discussed with, us by Parent. With respect to the Parent Projections, we have been advised by the management of Parent, and have assumed, based on discussions with the management and the Board of Directors of Parent, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Parent of the future financial performance of Parent and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Pro Forma Newco Projections, we have been advised by the management of Parent, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Parent relating to the strategic, financial and operational impacts anticipated from the Mergers. We express no view as to the Parent Projections or the Pro Forma Newco Projections or the assumptions on which each of the foregoing were based. We have assumed that the terms of the Draft Merger Agreement will not differ materially from the final executed Merger Agreement, and that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, without any modification, waiver or delay and with no adjustment to the Merger Consideration. In addition, we have assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary approvals of the proposed Mergers, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that could have an adverse effect on the Company, Parent or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Mergers. We have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Parent and its legal, tax or regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax or regulatory matters. We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or Parent or either of their respective affiliates, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, we have relied, without independent verification, upon the assessment of the management of Parent as to (i) the strategic, financial and other impacts expected to result from the Mergers; (ii) the existing and future technologies, intellectual property, products, services and business models of the Company and Parent and the validity of, and risks associated with, such technologies, intellectual property, products, services and business models, (iii) Parent's ability to integrate the businesses of the Company and Parent, including the timing and risks associated therewith, and (iv) Parent's ability to retain key employees of Company and Parent, respectively.

We have acted as financial advisor to Parent in connection with the Mergers and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which will become payable upon delivery of this opinion. We will receive an additional, larger fee if the Mergers are consummated. In addition, Parent has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. During the two-year period prior to the date hereof, no material relationship existed between Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other hand, pursuant to which compensation was received by Qatalyst Partners or its affiliates; however, Qatalyst Partners and/or its affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to the Company or Parent and/or their respective affiliates for which we would expect to receive compensation.

Qatalyst Partners provides investment banking and other services to a wide range of entities and individuals, domestically and offshore, from which conflicting interests or duties may arise. In the ordinary course of these activities, affiliates of Qatalyst Partners may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions in debt or equity securities or loans of the Company, Parent or certain of their respective affiliates.

This opinion has been approved by our opinion committee in accordance with our customary practice. This opinion is for the information of the Board of Directors of Parent and may not be used for any other

purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how stockholders of Parent should vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matter and does not in any manner address what the value of Parent Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Parent to engage in the Mergers, or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Parent. Our opinion is limited to the fairness to Parent, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid by Parent pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, and we express no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or Parent or any of their respective affiliates, or any class of such persons, relative to such Merger Consideration.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the Merger Consideration to be paid by Parent pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent.

Yours faithfully,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") of the Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by the Company for each share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Qorvo Common Stock"), of Qorvo, Inc. ("Qorvo"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2025 (the "Agreement"), by and among the Company, Comet Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub I"), Comet Acquisition II, LLC ("Merger Sub II") and Qorvo. Pursuant to the Agreement, (A) Merger Sub I will be merged with and into Qorvo, with Qorvo surviving such merger (the "Surviving Corporation"), and each outstanding share of Qorvo Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions described in the Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive $32.50 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") and 0.960 shares of common stock, par value $0.25 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), of the Company (the "Stock Consideration"; taken in the aggregate with the Cash Consideration, the "Consideration"), and (B) immediately following the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving such merger.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its affiliates are engaged in advisory, underwriting, lending and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research, investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of the Company, Qorvo and any of their respective affiliates and third parties or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the "Transaction"). Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has an existing lending relationship with the Company. We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction. We expect to receive fees for our financial advisory services in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which are contingent upon consummation of the Transaction, and the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses arising, and indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise, out of our engagement. At your request, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC has entered into financing commitments to provide the Company with revolving credit facilities and a bridge loan facility in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, subject to the terms of such commitments, and pursuant to which such affiliate expects to receive compensation. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and/or its affiliates may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Company, Qorvo and their respective affiliates for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking may receive compensation.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the Agreement; annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company and Qorvo for the five fiscal years ended September 27, 2024, and March 29, 2025, respectively; certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and Qorvo; certain other communications from the Company

and Qorvo to their respective stockholders; certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company and Qorvo; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for Qorvo prepared by its management; and certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company standalone and pro forma for the Transaction and certain financial analyses and forecasts for Qorvo, in each case, as prepared by the management of the Company and approved for our use by the Company (the "Forecasts"). We have also held discussions with members of the senior management of the Company regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of Qorvo and with the members of senior management of the Company regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company and the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits of, the Transaction; reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the shares of Company Common Stock and the shares of Qorvo Common Stock; compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company and Qorvo with similar financial and stock market information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as we deemed appropriate.

For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have, with your consent, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, us, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, we have assumed with your consent that the Forecasts have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company. We have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company or Qorvo or any of their respective subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. We have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company or Qorvo or on the expected benefits of the Transaction in any way meaningful to our analysis. We also have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to our analysis.

Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. This opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view to the Company, as of the date hereof, of the Consideration to be paid by the Company for each share of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement. We do not express any view on, and our opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the Agreement or Transaction or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the Agreement or entered into or amended in connection with the Transaction, including any allocation of the Consideration, the fairness of the Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of the Company; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or Qorvo, or any class of such persons in connection with the Transaction, whether relative to the Consideration to be paid by the Company for each share of Qorvo Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement or otherwise. We are not expressing any opinion as to the prices at which shares of Company Common Stock or Qorvo Common Stock will trade at any time, as to the potential effects of volatility in the credit, financial and stock markets on the Company, Qorvo or the Transaction, or as to the impact of the Transaction on the solvency or viability of the Company or Qorvo or the ability of the Company or Qorvo to pay their respective obligations when they come due. Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof and we assume no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date hereof. Our advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and such opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of Company Common Stock should vote with respect to such Transaction or any other matter. This opinion has been approved by a fairness committee of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC.

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Company Shares") (other than Excluded Shares, as defined below), of Qorvo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), of the Consideration (as defined below) proposed to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") proposed to be entered into by and among Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sapphire"), Comet Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Sapphire ("Merger Sub I"), and Comet Acquisition II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Sapphire ("Merger Sub II" and together with Merger Sub I, the "Merger Subs"), and the Company.

The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Transaction. We will receive a fee for our services in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which is payable upon the rendering of this opinion and a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses arising, and indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise, out of our engagement.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

We are a securities firm engaged directly and through affiliates and related persons in a number of investment banking, financial advisory and merchant banking activities. In the past two years, we have been engaged to provide financial advisory services to the Company, and we have received compensation from the Company for financial advisory services during such period. In the past two years, we have not been engaged to provide financial advisory or other services to Sapphire or the Merger Subs, and we have not received any compensation from Sapphire or the Merger Subs during such period. We may provide financial advisory or other services to or with respect to the Company or Sapphire or their respective affiliates in the future, for which we may receive compensation. Certain (i) of our and our affiliates' directors, officers, members and employees, or family members of such persons, (ii) of our affiliates or related investment funds and (iii) investment funds or other persons in which any of the foregoing may have financial interests or with which they may co-invest, may at any time acquire, hold, sell or trade, in debt, equity and other securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of, or investments in, the Company, Sapphire, or any of their respective affiliates, or any other party that may be involved in the Transaction.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated October 27, 2025 (the "Draft Agreement"); (ii) Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024, and April 1, 2023, and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Sapphire for the fiscal years ended September 27, 2024, September 29, 2023, and September 30, 2022; (iii) certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and Sapphire; (iv) certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company and Sapphire; (v) certain other communications from the Company and Sapphire to their respective stockholders; (vi) certain internal information relating to the business, operations, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of the Company, including certain financial forecasts, analyses and projections relating to the Company prepared by management of the Company and furnished to us by the Company for purposes of our analysis and this opinion (the "Company Forecasts") (collectively, the "Company Internal Data"); (vii) certain internal information relating to the business, operations, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Sapphire (the "Sapphire Internal Data"); (viii) certain financial forecasts, analyses and projections relating to Sapphire prepared by management of Sapphire with adjustments made by management of the Company and furnished to us by the Company for purposes of our analysis and this opinion (the "Sapphire Forecasts"); and (ix) and certain cost savings and operating synergies projected by the management of the Company to result from the Transaction furnished to us by the Company for purposes of our analysis and this opinion (the "Synergies"). We have participated in discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of the Company and Sapphire regarding their assessment of the Company Internal Data, the Sapphire Internal Data, the Sapphire Forecasts and the Synergies, as appropriate, and the strategic rationale for the Transaction. In addition, we reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data, including valuation multiples, for the Company and Sapphire and compared that data with similar data for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded, in lines of business that we deemed relevant. We also compared certain of the proposed financial terms of the Transaction with the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant and conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as we deemed appropriate.

We have assumed, without independent verification or any responsibility therefor, the accuracy and completeness of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information supplied to, discussed with, or reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion and have, with your consent, relied upon such information as being complete and accurate. In that regard, we have assumed, at your direction, that the Sapphire Internal Data have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Sapphire as to the matters covered thereby, and that the Company Internal Data (including, without limitation, the Company Forecasts), the Sapphire Forecasts and the Synergies have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Sapphire and/or of the Company, as applicable, as to the matters covered thereby, and we have relied, at your direction, on the Sapphire Internal Data, the Sapphire Forecasts, the Company Internal Data (including, without limitation, the Company Forecasts), and the Synergies for purposes of our analysis and this opinion. We express no view or opinion as to the Company Internal Data (including, without limitation, the Company Forecasts), the Sapphire Internal Data, the Sapphire Forecasts, the Synergies or the assumptions on which each is based. In addition, at your direction, we have

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet or otherwise) of the Company or Sapphire, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, and we have not been asked to conduct, and did not conduct, a physical inspection of the properties or assets of the Company or Sapphire. We have assumed, at your direction, that the final executed Agreement will not differ in any respect material to our analysis or this opinion from the Draft Agreement reviewed by us. We have also assumed, at your direction, that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Agreement and in accordance with all applicable laws and other relevant documents or requirements, without delay or the waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement, the effect of which would be material to our analysis or this opinion and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction, condition or other change, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed, the effect of which would be material to our analysis or this opinion. We have not evaluated and do not express any opinion as to the solvency or fair value of the Company or Sapphire, or the ability of the Company or Sapphire to pay their respective obligations when they come due, or as to the impact of the Transaction on such matters, under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or accounting advisors, and we express no opinion as to any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters.

We express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the Company's underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company or in which the Company might engage. This opinion is limited to and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the holders of Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares) of the Consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Agreement. We have not been asked to, nor do we express any view on, and our opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the Agreement or the Transaction, including, without limitation, the structure or form of the Transaction, or any other agreements or arrangements contemplated by the Agreement or entered into in connection with or otherwise contemplated by the Transaction, including, without limitation, the fairness of the Transaction or any other term or aspect of the Transaction to, or any consideration to be received in connection therewith by, or the impact of the Transaction on, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or any other party. In addition, we express no view or opinion as to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or any party, or class of such persons in connection with the Transaction, whether relative to the Consideration to be paid to the holders of Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares) pursuant to the Agreement or otherwise. Our opinion, as expressed herein, relates in part to the relative values of the Company and Sapphire. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, monetary, currency, market and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof, and we do not have any obligation or responsibility to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date hereof. We express no view or opinion as to what the value of Sapphire Shares actually will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the prices at which Company Shares or Sapphire Shares will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time, including following the announcement or consummation of the Transaction. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company or any other person as to how such stockholder or other person should vote with respect to the Merger or otherwise act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.

Our financial advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the information and assistance of the Board of Directors of the Company (in their capacity as directors and not in any other capacity) in connection with and for purposes of its consideration of the Transaction. The issuance of this opinion was approved by the Centerview Partners LLC Fairness Opinion Committee.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, including the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof, that the Consideration to be paid to the holders of Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares) pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository; the words "beneficial owner" mean a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of stock held either in voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person; and the word "person" means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation in a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title (other than, in each case and solely with respect to a converted or domesticated corporation, a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance authorized pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of § 265 or § 388 of this title):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders, or at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to consent pursuant to § 228 of this title, to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation or the resolution providing for the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation, or by the terms of a resolution providing for conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, pursuant to § 251, § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or of the converted entity or the entity resulting from a transfer, domestication or continuance if such entity is a corporation as a result of the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (4) [Repealed.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation or a conversion effected pursuant to § 266 of this title or a transfer, domestication or continuance effected pursuant to § 390 of this title. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) If a proposed merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and, § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall notify each stockholder of each constituent or converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, of the date that the merger, consolidation or conversion has become effective; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2) If the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation before the effective date of the merger,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or the surviving, resulting or converted entity within 10 days after such effective date, shall notify each stockholder of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who is entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving, resulting or converted entity the appraisal of such holder's shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to such entity by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs such entity of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, either (i) each such constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance or (ii) the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation or entity that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section (but subject to this paragraph (d)(3)), a beneficial owner may, in such person's name, demand in writing an appraisal of such beneficial owner's shares in accordance with either paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section, as applicable; provided that (i) such beneficial owner continuously owns such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and otherwise satisfies the requirements applicable to a stockholder under the first sentence of subsection (a) of this section and (ii) the demand made by such beneficial owner reasonably identifies the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, is accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner's beneficial ownership of stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the surviving, resulting or converted entity hereunder and to be set forth on the verified list required by subsection (f) of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity, or any person who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person entitled to appraisal rights who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such person's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the surviving, resulting or converted entity a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2) of this title)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning such shares (provided that, where a beneficial owner makes a demand pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the record holder of such shares shall not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of such aggregate number). Such statement shall be given to the person within 10 days after such person's request for such a statement is received by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section, whichever is later.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) Upon the filing of any such petition by any person other than the surviving, resulting or converted entity, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon such entity, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by such entity. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving, resulting or converted entity and to the persons shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving, resulting or converted entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the persons who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the persons who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (h) After the Court determines the persons entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger, consolidation or conversion and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving, resulting or converted entity may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or by any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to an appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving, resulting or converted entity to the persons entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such person upon such terms and conditions as the Court may order. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving, resulting or converted entity be an entity of this State or of any state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Court may order all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal not dismissed pursuant to subsection (k) of this section or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under subsection (k) of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (k) Subject to the remainder of this subsection, from and after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, no person who has demanded appraisal rights with respect to some or all of such person's shares as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance). If a person who has made a demand for an appraisal in accordance with this section shall deliver to the surviving, resulting or converted entity a written withdrawal of such person's demand for an appraisal in respect of some or all of such person's shares in accordance with subsection (e) of this section, either within 60 days after such effective date or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such person to an appraisal of the shares subject to the withdrawal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall not be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just, including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court made under subsection (j) of this section; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section. If a petition for an appraisal is not filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, the right to appraisal with respect to all shares shall cease.

------

(*l*) The shares or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity to which the shares of stock subject to appraisal under this section would have otherwise converted but for an appraisal demand made in accordance with this section shall have the status of authorized but not outstanding shares of stock or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity, unless and until the person that has demanded appraisal is no longer entitled to appraisal pursuant to this section.
