<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On
June&nbsp;10, 2009, Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
(&#147;Cadence&#148;) commenced a restructuring plan. Upon completion of the
restructuring plan, Cadence expects to achieve annual
operating expense savings of approximately $30&nbsp;million, through a combination of workforce and
other expense reductions. The expected annual operating expense savings take into account
additional investments planned for areas of critical importance to Cadence&#146;s customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cadence
expects to eliminate approximately 225 full-time positions. Cadence expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $20&nbsp;million to $25&nbsp;million
pre-tax, approximately $18&nbsp;million of which will be recorded in the second quarter of 2009. Substantially all of the
restructuring charge is for employee-related costs and will result in future cash expenditures.
Because of varying regulations in the jurisdictions and countries in which Cadence operates, these
workforce reductions will be realized over a period of time and are expected to be completed in the
second half of fiscal 2009.

<I>Expects to Achieve Annual Operating Expense Savings of $30 Million</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SAN JOSE, Calif.&#151;June&nbsp;10, 2009&#151;Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced the
commencement of restructuring measures designed to further streamline operations and position the
Company for its next phase of strategic growth. Upon completion, Cadence expects to achieve annual
operating expense savings of approximately $30&nbsp;million, through a combination of workforce and other expense
reductions. The expected annual operating expense savings take into account additional investments
planned for areas of critical importance to the Company&#146;s customers, including verification and
system-on-chip (SoC) development.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company expects to eliminate approximately 225 full-time positions, representing 5% of its
global employee base. The reductions come primarily from resizing the worldwide field organization
to current business levels, decreasing the level of investment in the manufacturing side of DFM
(Design-for-Manufacturability) and other infrastructure areas of the business. Because of varying
regulations in the jurisdictions and countries in which Cadence operates, these workforce
reductions will be realized over a period of time and are expected to be completed in the second
half of fiscal 2009. Cadence expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $20&nbsp;million
to $25&nbsp;million pre-tax, approximately $18&nbsp;million of which will be recorded in the second quarter
of 2009.
