Officers; Compensatory Arrangement for Certain Officers.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective August&nbsp;20, 2007, Donald W. Palette, age 50, was appointed Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (&#147;Skyworks&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;). Prior to joining Skyworks, Mr.&nbsp;Palette served most recently as Senior Vice
President, Finance and Controller of Axcelis Technologies, Inc., a semiconductor equipment
manufacturer (&#147;Axcelis&#148;). At Axcelis, he held the position of Controller since 1999, Treasurer
since 2003 and Senior Vice President since May&nbsp;2005. Prior to May&nbsp;2005, Mr.&nbsp;Palette was an
Axcelis Vice President beginning June&nbsp;2003, prior to which he was Axcelis&#146; Director of Finance
beginning August&nbsp;2000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Palette will receive an initial base salary of $300,000 per year, and be eligible to
participate in Skyworks&#146; Executive Incentive Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;), under which he is eligible to earn
an annual cash incentive award ranging between 20% and 120% of his annual base salary depending on
the extent to which the Company achieves &#147;nominal&#148;, &#147;target&#148; or &#147;stretch&#148; performance metrics as
set forth in the Plan. In addition, on August&nbsp;20, 2007, Mr.&nbsp;Palette was awarded 200,000 stock
options and 25,000 restricted shares under Skyworks&#146; 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The stock
options and restricted stock will vest in four equal annual installments beginning on August&nbsp;20, 2008 and
ending August&nbsp;20, 2011. Mr.&nbsp;Palette is also eligible to participate in other Skyworks benefits
plans offered to other full-time employees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In connection with his employment, the Company entered into a Change of Control/Severance Agreement
with Mr.&nbsp;Palette (the &#147;Agreement&#148;). The Agreement sets out the following severance benefits that
become payable if, within twelve (12)&nbsp;months of a change of control, Mr.&nbsp;Palette is involuntarily
terminated without cause: (i)&nbsp;a severance payment equal to one and one-half (1<FONT style="font-size: 70%"><SUP>1</SUP></FONT>/<FONT style="font-size: 60%">2</FONT>) times his total
annual compensation for the previous twelve (12)&nbsp;months, including salary and bonus (with the bonus
to be the greater of (x)&nbsp;the average bonus received for the three years prior to the year in which
the change of control occurs or (y)&nbsp;the target bonus for the year in which the change of control
occurs); and (ii)&nbsp;vesting of all outstanding stock options and any restricted stock, with such
stock options remaining exercisable for a period of eighteen (18)&nbsp;months after the termination date
(but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms). In addition, under the terms of
the Agreement, if Mr.&nbsp;Palette is involuntarily terminated without cause other than in connection
with a change of control, he is entitled to: (i)&nbsp;a severance payment equal to the sum of (x)&nbsp;his
annual base salary and (y)&nbsp;any bonus then due; and (ii)&nbsp;all outstanding then vested stock options
will remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12)&nbsp;months after the termination date (but not
beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms). In the event of Mr.&nbsp;Palette&#146;s death or
disability, all outstanding stock options will vest and remain exercisable for a period of twelve
(12)&nbsp;months following the termination of employment (but not beyond the expiration of their
respective maximum terms). The Agreement also contains non-compete and non-solicitation provisions
applicable to him while he is employed by the Company, and for a period of twelve (12)&nbsp;months
following the termination of his employment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On August&nbsp;20, 2007, Allan M. Kline, age 62, the principal financial officer and a named executive
officer of the Company, resigned his position as Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr.&nbsp;Kline will continue to serve as a
non-executive employee of the Company through November&nbsp;20, 2007, at which time his employment with
the Company will terminate. In connection with his resignation, the Company amended Mr.&nbsp;Kline&#146;s
severance and change in control agreement pursuant to which he will receive the following severance
benefits as set forth in the amended agreement: (i)&nbsp;a lump sum payment equal to one (1)&nbsp;time his
annual base salary and (ii)&nbsp;all of his then vested stock options will remain exercisable for a
period of fifteen (15)&nbsp;months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their
respective maximum terms).
