<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A preliminary hearing was held before Chancellor Leo Strine of the Delaware Court of Chancery on October&nbsp;7, 2011 on the petitions for
arbitration filed on September&nbsp;26, 2011 by Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Skyworks&#148;), against Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated (&#147;AATI&#148;) and the petition for arbitration filed on
September&nbsp;23, 2011 by AATI against Skyworks in the Delaware Court of Chancery in connection with the parties&#146; May&nbsp;26, 2011 Merger Agreement. At the preliminary hearing, Chancellor Strine ordered the two petitions consolidated for all
purposes of the arbitration proceedings, and ordered that the arbitration hearing take place on November&nbsp;28, 29 and 30 and, if additional time is needed, one or more days during the week of December&nbsp;5. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As previously reported, Skyworks&#146; petition against AATI asserts claims against AATI for breach of the Merger Agreement and claims
based on misrepresentations by AATI to Skyworks dating from before the signing of the Merger Agreement to the present, and seeks an order declaring that Skyworks is relieved of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and that Skyworks is entitled
to terminate the Merger Agreement, and, in the alternative, awarding damages in an amount to be proven at final hearing. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pending the determination of Skyworks&#146; claims and the resolution of the arbitration proceedings, investors should not rely on the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed in connection with the Merger Agreement (Registration No.&nbsp;333-174953, as amended through Amendment No.&nbsp;2 filed on September&nbsp;9, 2011) for current information regarding the parties and the
proposed transaction, but should look instead to other filings (including Current Reports on Form 8-K) for more current information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AATI&#146;s petition against Skyworks seeks a declaratory judgment that AATI has not breached the Merger Agreement, that no &#147;material adverse effect&#148; has occurred with respect to AATI, and that
Skyworks has breached its obligations under the merger agreement, and seeks specific performance of the Merger Agreement and to order Skyworks to close the transaction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under Delaware law and applicable stipulations and orders in the pending arbitration proceedings, the arbitration proceedings are confidential, subject to the parties&#146; disclosure obligations under
federal securities law and other applicable laws. Subject to such obligations, Skyworks does not intend to comment or provide information regarding the arbitration until an order on the merits or other material order is issued in the arbitration or
the arbitration process is otherwise concluded. </FONT></P>

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, information relating to future events, occurrences, results and expectations of Skyworks (including but not limited to 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;

Registration Statement on Form S-4 and two amendments thereto (including Amendment No.&nbsp;2 filed on September&nbsp;9, 2011) in connection with the Merger Agreement and the pending proposed Merger, and Skyworks and AATI have each separately filed
a number of Current Reports on Form 8-K relating to the pending proposed transaction, including Current Reports on Form 8-K and materials filed pursuant to SEC Rule 425 filed after the date of Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to the Registration Statement on
Form S-4.&nbsp;In light of the pending arbitrations and the claims reported in those Current Reports, investors should not rely on the amended Registration Statement for complete current information, but should instead look to the Current Reports on
Form 8-K and other filings (including filings pursuant to SEC Rule 425) for information about Skyworks, AATI, the Merger Agreement and the pending proposed Merger, and related matters.&nbsp;INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT HAS
NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE FILING OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2011. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THAT DATE THAT AFFECT THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHOULD THEREFORE NOT BE READ
IN ISOLATION, WITHOUT ALSO READING SUBSEQUENTLY FILED CURRENT REPORTS ON FORM 8-K AND MATERIALS FILED UNDER RULE 425. </FONT></P>
