<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In December&nbsp;2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004), &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148; (&#147;SFAS 123R&#148;). SFAS 123R will require that
compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions, including the issuance of stock
options, be recognized in the financial statements. Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) is
required to adopt the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, which begins on October
1, 2005. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the
provisions of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, which has not resulted in the recognition of compensation cost in
the consolidated statement of income in the financial statements because the Company has a practice
of granting stock options with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company&#146;s common
stock on the date of grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In response to SFAS 123R, on September&nbsp;2, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company&#146;s
Board of Directors, which consists entirely of independent directors, as well as the Board of
Directors, unanimously approved accelerating the vesting of certain outstanding unvested stock
options with an exercise price over $9.00 granted prior to November&nbsp;10, 2004, held by current
employees (including executive officers), except where such acceleration would have an adverse
impact on the employee. The closing price of the Company&#146;s common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market on September&nbsp;2, 2005 was $7.52 per share. The following table summarizes the options
subject to acceleration:

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The decision to accelerate vesting of these options was made to avoid recognizing compensation
cost associated with certain &#147;out-of-the-money&#148; options in the statement of income in future
financial statements upon the effectiveness of SFAS 123R. The decision to not accelerate the
vesting of stock options with an exercise price under $9.01, as well as those granted after
November&nbsp;9, 2004, balances the Company&#146;s desire to manage compensation expense with its need to
continue to motivate and retain employees. It is estimated that the maximum future compensation
expense that would have been recorded in the income statement related to the affected options and
which will not be recorded, based on the Company&#146;s implementation date for SFAS 123R of October&nbsp;1,
2005, is approximately $21&nbsp;million. The Company will report the impact of the acceleration in its
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, in the pro forma footnote
disclosures currently required under SFAS 123.
