<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On August&nbsp;3, 2018, Skyworks Solutions,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<u>Company</u>&#148; or &#147;<u>Skyworks</u>&#148;), and AI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Skyworks (&#147;<u>Merger Sub</u>&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;<u>Merger Agreement</u>&#148;) with Avnera Corporation, a Delaware corporation (&#147;<u>Avnera</u>&#148;), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as representative and agent of the Avnera equity holders. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Avnera, with Avnera continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Skyworks (the &#147;<u>Merger</u>&#148;). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Merger Agreement provides for a total cash consideration of $405 million to be paid by the Company to the Avnera equity holders at the effective time of the Merger (the &#147;<u>Closing</u>&#148;), subject to certain customary closing adjustments and set asides. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Closing, (i)&nbsp;each outstanding share of Avnera&#146;s common stock (after giving effect to the conversion of all shares of preferred stock of Avnera to shares of common stock, but excepting shares held in treasury or owned by stockholders who have validly exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law), (ii)&nbsp;each Vested Option (including those Vested Options that become vested by their terms immediately prior to or as of the Closing), and (iii)&nbsp;each unexpired, unexercised and outstanding Warrant, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the total cash consideration. The Company also agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, to pay up to an additional $20 million in contingent consideration based on the achievement of a revenue-based target during the twelve-month period beginning on the first day of the Company&#146;s first full fiscal quarter that begins immediately following the Closing. The Company intends to fund the merger consideration with cash on hand.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, at the Closing, each Unvested Option will be assumed by the Company and converted into an option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, and each share of Unvested Stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash per share equal to the consideration paid to other holders of shares of Avnera common stock, in each case as described by the Merger Agreement and subject to the same vesting schedule applicable under such Unvested Option or Unvested Stock.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At the Closing, the Company will also enter into an escrow agreement in a customary form (the &#147;<u>Escrow Agreement</u>&#148;) and deposit an aggregate amount of $5.025&nbsp;million into two separate escrow funds for the purposes of (i)&nbsp;securing the Company&#146;s indemnification rights for any and all losses for which they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (which such amount would be contributed towards the satisfaction of the retention amount of a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy to be issued at the Closing) and (ii)&nbsp;securing any reimbursement obligations of the equity holders of Avnera in connection with customary working capital and other Closing date adjustments.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The parties currently expect the Closing to occur by September&nbsp;2018. The Closing is conditioned upon customary closing conditions, including the receipt by Avnera of the requisite stockholder vote approving the Merger.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At the heart of Avnera&#146;s system solutions are market-specific ASoCs that combine breakthrough audio/voice analog circuits, highly efficient power management and custom hardware accelerators for smart acoustic signal processing/AI features.&#160; Avnera&#146;s ASoCs achieve the highest level of integration in the industry and set a new performance watermark from a power consumption and footprint standpoint &#150; all underpinned by more than 100 issued and pending patents.&#160; Key Avnera customers include Harman, JBL, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Polk, Samsung, Sennheiser, Sony, Vizio and Yamaha.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Skyworks will pay $405 million in cash to Avnera equity holders at closing with up to an additional $20 million if certain performance targets are exceeded over a 12-month post-closing period.&#160; The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both Skyworks and Avnera and is anticipated to close by September&nbsp;2018, subject to customary closing conditions.&#160; Excluding any non-recurring acquisition-related charges and amortization of intangibles, Skyworks expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to diluted earnings per share.</font></p>
