Explanation of Responses:

1. Only vested shares can be exercised under this option. 25% of the shares will vest on 11/2/17; the remaining shares will vest monthly over the following 36 months so that the option will be fully vested and exercisable on 11/2/20.

2. Each Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU's") represents the right to receive, following vesting, up to 200% of one share of Cirrus Logic, Inc. common stock. The resulting number of shares of common stock acquired upon vesting of the performance-based RSU's is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance metrics, as approved by the Company's Compensation Committee, over a three-year performance period beginning on November 2, 2016, and ending on November 2, 2019.

3. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Cirrus Logic common stock.

4. 100% of the restricted stock units will vest on 11/2/19, the 3-year anniversary of the grant date.
