<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;8.01. Other Events.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;16, 2011, Mr.&nbsp;David Aldrich, chief executive officer of Skyworks Solutions, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (&#147;Skyworks&#148;), contacted Mr.&nbsp;Samuel Anderson, chairman of the board of
Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated (&#147;AATI&#148;), to discuss the preliminary conclusions
reached by Skyworks regarding AATI&#146;s business and financial performance and outlook from Skyworks&#146;
review of the information and documents recently provided by AATI in response to Skyworks&#146; formal
demand of August&nbsp;24, 2011 and the notice of breach delivered by Skyworks to AATI on September&nbsp;7,
2011, including information provided in connection with (and in follow-up to) a meeting of the
parties on September&nbsp;13, 2011. Mr.&nbsp;Aldrich informed Mr.&nbsp;Anderson of Skyworks&#146; conclusion that AATI
has not operated, in material respects, in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business. Mr.
Aldrich proposed that the parties mutually agree either to delay further action and final decision
on the proposed merger until the end of the fourth calendar quarter, or, alternatively, to
terminate the Merger Agreement by mutual consent now. Mr.&nbsp;Anderson indicated that AATI was not
interested in pursuing either alternative. Mr.&nbsp;Anderson also indicated that he would be willing to
meet with Mr.&nbsp;Aldrich in Boston to discuss Skyworks&#146; concerns about AATI&#146;s business, but only after
a proxy statement for the proposed merger has been mailed to AATI stockholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;19, 2011, Skyworks delivered a notice of breach to AATI, stating, among other
things, that AATI has breached its covenant, agreement and obligation under the Merger Agreement to
&#147;act and carry on its business in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same
manner as previously conducted, . . . and use commercially reasonable best efforts, consistent with
past practices, to maintain and preserve its and each Subsidiary&#146;s . . . assets . . . and preserve
its advantageous business relationships with customers.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;8.1(f) of the Merger Agreement entitles Skyworks to terminate the Merger Agreement if
there has been a breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement on the part of AATI set
forth in the Merger Agreement, and the breach or nonperformance would cause any of the conditions
set forth in section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied, and the breach or
nonperformance is not cured within 10&nbsp;days after receipt by AATI of written notice of such breach
or nonperformance from Skyworks. Section&nbsp;7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement in turn provides, among
other things, that the obligations of Skyworks and Merger Sub to complete the merger are subject to
the condition that AATI shall have complied with and performed in all material respects all
obligations required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement on or prior to the closing
date.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>Safe Harbor Statement</b>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This document includes &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; intended to qualify for the safe
harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements include without limitation information relating to future results and
expectations of Skyworks (including without limitation certain projections and business trends).
Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148;
&#147;forecasts,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; or &#147;continue,&#148; and similar expressions
and variations or negatives of these words. All such statements are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and
adversely from those projected, and may affect our future operating results, financial position and
cash flows.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, but are not limited to:
whether the conditions to our obligation to complete the Merger are and can be satisfied; whether
AATI is determined to have breached its covenants, agreements and obligations under the Merger
Agreement as set forth by us in our notices of breach and whether such breaches can be and are
cured by AATI within the time period allowed by the Merger Agreement; whether, if the Merger is
completed, we are able to successfully integrate AATI&#146;s operations; uncertainty regarding global
economic and financial market conditions; the susceptibility of the wireless semiconductor industry
and the markets addressed by our, and our customers&#146;, products to economic downturns; the timing,
rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability, as well as the ability
of our customers, to manage inventory; losses or curtailments of purchases or payments from key
customers, or the timing of customer inventory adjustments; the availability and pricing of third
party semiconductor foundry, assembly and test capacity, raw materials and supplier components;
changes in laws, regulations and/or policies in the United States that could adversely affect
financial markets and our ability to raise capital; our ability to develop, manufacture and market
innovative products in a highly price competitive and rapidly changing technological environment;
economic, social and political conditions in the countries in which we, our customers or our
suppliers operate, including security and health risks, possible disruptions in transportation
networks and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; fluctuations in our manufacturing
yields due to our complex and specialized manufacturing processes; delays or disruptions in
production due to equipment maintenance, repairs and/or upgrades; our reliance on several key
customers for a large percentage of our sales; fluctuations in the manufacturing yields of our
third party semiconductor foundries and other problems or delays in the fabrication, assembly,
testing or delivery of our products; our ability to timely and accurately predict market
requirements and evolving industry standards, and to identify opportunities in new markets;
uncertainties of litigation, including potential disputes over intellectual property infringement
and rights, as well as payments related to the licensing and/or sale of such rights; our ability to
rapidly develop new products and avoid product obsolescence; our ability to retain, recruit and
hire key executives, technical personnel and other employees in the positions and numbers, with the
experience and capabilities, and at the compensation levels needed to implement our business and
product plans; lengthy product development cycles that impact the timing of new product
introductions; unfavorable changes in product mix; the quality of our products and any remediation
costs; shorter than expected product life cycles; problems or delays that we may face in shifting
our products to smaller geometry process technologies and in achieving higher levels of design
integration; and our ability to continue to grow and maintain an intellectual property portfolio
and obtain needed licenses from third parties, as well as other risks and uncertainties, including
but not limited to those detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no
obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
