Directors
David J. McLachlan,age 72, has been a director since 2000 and Chairman of the Board since May 2008. Mr. McLachlan served as a senior advisor to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Genzyme Corporation (a publicly traded biotechnology company) from 1999 to 2004. He also was the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Genzyme from 1989 to 1999. Prior to joining Genzyme, Mr. McLachlan served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Adams-Russell Company (an electronic component supplier and cable television franchise owner). Mr. McLachlan also serves on the Board of Directors of Dyax Corp. (a publicly traded biotechnology company), HearUSA, Ltd. (a publicly traded hearing care services company) and Deltagen, Inc (a publicly traded provider of drug discovery tools and services to the biopharmaceutical industry).
We believe that Mr. McLachlan, the current Chairman of the Board, is qualified to serve as a director because he possesses a broad range of business experience as a result of his service as both chief financial officer and director for several public companies. In particular, Mr. McLachlan has in depth experience handling complex accounting and finance issues for a broad range of companies. He has also served on the boards and audit and governance committees of other public companies (including as chairman of the audit committee), and serves as a designated “audit committee financial expert” for Skyworks’ Audit Committee. In addition, Mr. McLachlan has extensive knowledge regarding Skyworks’ business, which he has acquired by serving for more than 10 years on its Board of Directors.
1
David J. Aldrich,age 53, has served as President and Chief Executive Officer, and as a director of the Company since April 2000. From September 1999 to April 2000, Mr. Aldrich served as President and Chief Operating Officer. From May 1996 to May 1999, when he was appointed Executive Vice President, Mr. Aldrich served as Vice President and General Manager of the semiconductor products business unit. Mr. Aldrich joined the Company in 1995 as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. From 1989 to 1995, Mr. Aldrich held senior management positions at M/A-COM, Inc. (a developer and manufacturer of radio frequency and microwave semiconductors, components and IP networking solutions), including Manager Integrated Circuits Active Products, Corporate Vice President of Strategic Planning, Director of Finance and Administration and Director of Strategic Initiatives with the Microelectronics Division. Mr. Aldrich has also served since February 2007 as a director of Belden Inc. (a publicly traded designer and manufacturer of cable products and transmission solutions).
We believe that Mr. Aldrich, who has led Skyworks for more than 10 years, is qualified to serve as a director because of his leadership experience, his strategic decision making ability, his knowledge of the semiconductor industry and his in-depth knowledge of Skyworks’ business. Mr. Aldrich brings to the Board of Directors his thorough knowledge of Skyworks’ business, strategy, people, operations, competition, financial position and investors. Further, as a result of his service as a director for Belden, Inc., a multi-national public company, Mr. Aldrich provides the Board of Directors with another organizational perspective and other cross-board experience.
Kevin L. Beebe, age 51, has been a director since January 2004. Since November 2007, he has been President and Chief Executive Officer of 2BPartners, LLC (a partnership that provides strategic, financial and operational advice to investors and management, and whose clients include Carlyle Group, GS Capital Partners, KKR and TPG Capital). Previously, beginning in 1998, he was Group President of Operations at ALLTEL Corporation, a telecommunications services company. From 1996 to 1998, Mr. Beebe served as Executive Vice President of Operations for 360° Communications Co., a wireless communication company. He has held a variety of executive and senior management positions at several divisions of Sprint, including Vice President of Operations and Vice President of Marketing and Administration for Sprint Cellular, Director of Marketing for Sprint North Central Division, Director of Engineering and Operations Staff and Director of Product Management and Business Development for Sprint Southeast Division, as well as Staff Director of Product Services at Sprint Corporation. Mr. Beebe began his career at AT&T/Southwestern Bell as a Manager. Mr. Beebe also serves as a director for SBA Communications Corporation (a publicly traded North American operator of wireless communications towers), NII Holdings, Inc. (a publicly traded provider of wireless telecommunications services), Sting Communications (a privately held broadband network provider) and Syniverse Corp. (a privately held provider of support services for wireless carriers).
We believe that Mr. Beebe is qualified to serve as a director because of his 15 years experience as an operating executive in the wireless telecommunications industry. For example, as Group President of Operations at ALLTEL, he was instrumental in expanding ALLTEL’s higher margin retail business, which significantly enhanced ALLTEL’s competitive position in a dynamic, consolidating industry. In addition, as Chief Executive Officer of 2BPartners, LLC, Mr. Beebe continues to gain a broad range of business experience and to build business relationships by advising leading private equity firms that are transacting business in the global capital markets. Mr. Beebe provides cross-board experience by serving as a director for several public and private companies (including service on both audit and governance committees). Further, Mr. Beebe has served as a director of Skyworks since 2004 and has gained significant familiarity with Skyworks’ business.
Moiz M. Beguwala, age 64, has been a director since June 2002. He served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Wireless Communications business unit of Conexant from January 1999 to June 2002. Prior to Conexant’s spin-off from Rockwell International Corporation, Mr. Beguwala served as Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Communications Division, Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Inc. from October 1998 to December 1998; Vice President and General Manager Personal Computing Division, Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Inc. from January 1998 to October 1998; and Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Inc. from October 1995 to January 1998. Mr. Beguwala serves on the Board of Directors of Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (a publicly traded wireless solutions supplier for communications networks worldwide) and Cavendish Kinetics Inc. (a privately held MEMS company), as well as Chairman of the Board of RF Nano Corporation (a privately held semiconductor company in Newport Beach, CA). He also served as director of SIRF Technologies, Inc. (a former publicly traded GPS solutions semiconductor company) from September 2000 until May 2008.
2
We believe that Mr. Beguwala is qualified to serve as a director because of his significant experience in, and in depth understanding of, the RF and analog semiconductor markets. Since becoming a vice president at Rockwell Semiconductor over 20 years ago, he has obtained executive experience in the strategic, technological, financial and operational requirements of companies in the wireless semiconductor industry. In addition, through his service as a director for several public and private semiconductor companies (including service on the audit and governance committees of a public company), he continues to gain knowledge of the semiconductor industry and provides cross-board experience to Skyworks.
Timothy R. Furey,age 52, has been a director since 1998. He has been Chief Executive Officer of MarketBridge (a privately owned sales and marketing strategy and technology professional services firm) since 1991. His company’s clients include organizations such as IBM, British Telecom and other global Fortune 500 companies selling complex technology products and services into both OEM and end-user markets. Prior to 1991, Mr. Furey held a variety of consulting positions with Boston Consulting Group, Strategic Planning Associates, Kaiser Associates and the Marketing Science Institute.
We believe that Mr. Furey is qualified to serve as a director because his experience as Chief Executive Officer of MarketBridge, as well as his engagements with MarketBridge’s clients (many of which are Fortune 500 companies), provide him with a broad range of knowledge regarding business operations and growth strategies. In addition, Mr. Furey has extensive knowledge regarding Skyworks’ business, which he acquired through over 12 years of service on the Board of Directors, including, for the past 7 years as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee.
Balakrishnan S. Iyer,age 54, has been a director since June 2002. He served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Conexant Systems, Inc. from October 1998 to June 2003, and has been a director of Conexant since February 2002. Prior to joining Conexant, Mr. Iyer served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of VLSI Technology Inc. Prior to that, he was corporate controller for Cypress Semiconductor Corp. and Director of Finance for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Mr. Iyer serves on the Board of Directors of Conexant, Life Technologies Corp., Power Integrations, Inc., QLogic Corporation, and IHS Inc. (each a publicly traded company).
We believe that Mr. Iyer is qualified to serve as a director because his experience as an executive officer of companies in the technology industry provides him with leadership, strategic and financial experience. Through his experiences as a director at the public companies listed above (including as a member of certain audit, governance and compensation committees) he provides the Board with significant financial expertise with specific application to our industry, as well as a broad understanding of corporate governance topics.
Thomas C. Leonard,age 76, has been a director since August 1996. From April 2000 until June 2002, he served as Chairman of the Board of the Company, and from September 1999 to April 2000, he served the Company as Chief Executive Officer. From July 1996 to September 1999, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Leonard joined the Company in 1992 as a Division General Manager and was elected a Vice President in 1994. Mr. Leonard has over 30 years of experience in the microwave industry, having held a variety of executive and senior level management and marketing positions at M/A-COM, Inc., Varian Associates, Inc. and Sylvania.
We believe that Mr. Leonard is qualified to serve as a director because of his experience in the technology industry in a variety of leadership and key operational positions, which have allowed him to accumulate knowledge in operational management and corporate strategy. In addition, Mr. Leonard has extensive knowledge regarding Skyworks’ business, which he has acquired by serving on the Board of Directors for nearly 15 years, and as Skyworks’ Chief Executive Officer from September 1999 to April 2000.
David P. McGlade,age 50, has been a director since February 2005. He currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chairman of Intelsat Global S.A. (a privately held worldwide provider of fixed satellite services). Previously, Mr. McGlade served as an Executive Director of mmO2 PLC and as the Chief Executive Officer of O2 UK (a subsidiary of mmO2), a position he held from October 2000 until March 2005. Before joining O2 UK, Mr. McGlade was President of the Western Region for Sprint PCS.
We believe that Mr. McGlade is qualified to serve as a director because of his 27 years of experience in the telecommunications business, which have allowed him to acquire significant operational, strategic and financial
3
business acumen. Most recently, as a result of his work as the Chief Executive Officer of Intelsat, a private equity-owned operator of a network of commercial communications satellites and terrestrial connections, Mr. McGlade gained significant leadership and operational experience, as well as knowledge about the global capital markets.
Robert A. Schriesheim,age 50, has been a director since 2006. Mr. Schriesheim is the former Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Hewitt Associates, Inc. (a global human resources consulting and outsourcing company that was acquired by Aon Corporation in October 2010). Previously, from October 2006 until December 2009, he was the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Lawson Software, Inc. (a publicly traded ERP software provider). From August 2002 to October 2006, he was affiliated with ARCH Development Partners, LLC, a seed stage venture capital fund. Before joining ARCH, Mr. Schriesheim held executive positions at Global TeleSystems (“GTS”), SBC Equity Partners, Ameritech, AC Nielsen, and Brooke Group Ltd. In 2001, to facilitate the sale of GTS, Mr. Schriesheim led it through a pre-arranged filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“U.S.B.C.”) and, in prearranged proceedings, a petition for surseance (moratorium), offering a composition, in the Netherlands. All such proceedings were approved, confirmed and completed by March 31, 2002 as part of the sale of the company. Mr. Schriesheim is also a director of Lawson Software, Inc. In addition, from 2004 until 2007, he was also a director of Dobson Communications Corp. (a former publicly traded wireless services communications company that was acquired by AT&T Inc. in 2007).
We believe that Mr. Schriesheim is qualified to serve as a director because of his extensive knowledge of the capital markets, experience with corporate financial capital structures and long history of evaluating and structuring merger and acquisition transactions within the technology sector. Mr. Schriesheim also has significant experience, as a senior executive and director in both public and private companies in the technology sector, leading companies through major strategic and financial corporate transformations while doing business in the global market place.
In addition to the information presented above regarding each director’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board of Directors to conclude that he should serve as a director, we also believe that each of our directors has a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. They have each demonstrated business acumen, an ability to exercise sound judgment and a commitment of service to Skyworks.

| ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. |
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Who Sets Compensation for Senior Executives?
The Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ Rules, outside directors within the meaning of Section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and non-employee directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, is responsible for determining all components and amounts of compensation to be paid to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and each of our other executive officers, as well as any other officers or employees who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section discusses the compensation policies and programs for our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our three next most highly paid executive officers during fiscal 2010 as determined under the rules of the SEC. We refer to this group of executive officers as our “Named Executive Officers.”
What are the Objectives of Our Compensation Program?
The objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives to operate our business, and to link the compensation of those executives to improvements in the Company’s financial performance and increases in stockholder value. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee’s goals in establishing our executive compensation program include:
(1) ensuring that our executive compensation program is competitive with a group of companies in the semiconductor industry with which we compete for executive talent;
(2) providing a base salary that serves as the foundation of a compensation package that attracts and retains the executive talent needed to achieve our business objectives;
(3) providing short-term variable compensation that motivates executives and rewards them for achieving financial performance targets;
(4) providing long-term stock-based compensation that aligns the interest of our executives with stockholders and rewards them for increases in stockholder value; and
(5) ensuring that our executive compensation program is perceived as fundamentally fair to all of our employees.
How Do We Determine the Components and Amount of Compensation to Pay?
The Compensation Committee sets compensation for the Named Executive Officers, including salary, short-term incentives and long-term stock-based awards, at levels generally intended to be competitive with the compensation of comparable executives in semiconductor companies with which the Company competes for executive talent.
Retention of Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee has engaged Aon/Radford Consulting to assist the Compensation Committee in determining the components and amount of executive compensation. The consultant reports directly to the Compensation Committee, through its chairperson, and the Compensation Committee retains the right to terminate or replace the consultant at any time. The consultant advises the Compensation Committee on such compensation matters as are requested by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considers the consultant’s advice on such matters in addition to any other information or factors it considers relevant in making its compensation determinations.
6
Role of Chief Executive Officer
The Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer regarding the compensation of each of his direct reports, including the other Named Executive Officers. These recommendations include an assessment of each individual’s responsibilities, experience, individual performance and contribution to the Company’s performance, and also generally takes into account internal factors such as historical compensation and level in the organization, in addition to external factors such as the current environment for attracting and retaining executives.
Establishment of Comparator Group Data
In determining compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers, the committee utilizes “Comparator Group” data for each position. For fiscal year 2010, the Compensation Committee approved Comparator Group data consisting of a 50/50 blend of (i) Aon/Radford survey data of 30 semiconductor companies (where sufficient data was not available in the Aon/Radford semiconductor survey data — for example, for a VP/General Manager position — the Comparator Group data reflected survey data regarding high-technology companies, which included a larger survey sample.) Semiconductor companies included in the survey had average annual revenue of approximately $1 billion, whereas the high-technology companies included in the survey were segregated based on the annual revenue of the general manager’s business unit. ) and (ii) the public “peer” group data for 15 publicly-traded semiconductor companies with which the Company competes for executive talent (the “Peer Group”):
| *Anadigics *Analog Devices *Broadcom *Cypress Semiconductor *Fairchild Semiconductor | *Integrated Device Technology *Intersil *Linear Technology *LSI Logic *Maxim Integrated Products | *National Semiconductor *ON Semiconductor *RF Micro Devices *Silicon Laboratories *TriQuint Semiconductor |
Utilization of Comparator Group Data
The Compensation Committee annually compares the components and amounts of compensation that we provide to our Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers with the components and amounts of compensation provided to their counterparts in the Comparator Group and uses this comparison data as a guideline in its review and determination of base salaries, short-term incentives and long-term stock-based compensation awards. In addition, in setting fiscal year 2010 compensation, the Compensation Committee sought and received input from its consultant regarding the base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and each of his direct reports, the award levels and performance targets relating to the short-term incentive program for executive officers, and the individual stock-based compensation awards for executive officers, as well as the related vesting schedules.
After reviewing the data and considering the input, the Compensation Committee established (and the full Board of Directors was advised of) the base salary, short-term incentive target and long-term stock-based compensation award for each Named Executive Officer. In establishing individual compensation, the Compensation Committee also considered the input of the Chief Executive Officer, as well as the individual experience and performance of the executive.
In determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, our Compensation Committee focused on (i) competitive levels of compensation for chief executive officers who are leading a company of similar size and complexity, (ii) the importance of retaining a chief executive officer with the strategic, financial and leadership skills necessary to ensure our continued growth and success, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer’s role relative to other Named Executive Officers and (iv) the considerable length of his 16-year service to the Company. Aon/Radford advised the Compensation Committee that the base salary, annual performance targets and short-term incentive target opportunity, and equity-based compensation for 2010 were competitive for chief executive officers in the sector. The Chief Executive Officer was not present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee concerning his compensation. As stated above, however, the Compensation Committee did consider the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer regarding the compensation of all of his direct reports, including the other Named Executive Officers.
7
What are the Components of Executive Compensation?
The key elements of compensation for our Named Executive Officers are base salary, short-term incentives, long-term stock-based incentives, 401(k) plan retirement benefits, and medical and insurance benefits. Consistent with our objective of ensuring that executive compensation is perceived as fair to all employees, the Named Executive Officers do not receive any retirement benefits beyond those generally available to our full-time employees, and we do not provide medical or insurance benefits to Named Executive Officers that are different from those offered to other full-time employees.
Base Salary
Base salaries provide our executive officers with a degree of financial certainty and stability. The Compensation Committee determines a competitive base salary for each executive officer using the Comparator Group data and input provided by its consultant. Based on these factors, base salaries of the Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2010 were generally targeted at the Comparator Group median, with consideration given to role, responsibility, performance and length of service. After taking these factors into account, the base salary increase for the Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2010 was on average 3.5%. Given the significant changes in the economic environment and the uncertainty in financial markets in the first half of fiscal 2010, however, the Compensation Committee determined to delay implementing the recommended base salary increases until the second half of fiscal 2010 after it became clear that the Company’s business had stabilized.
Short-Term Incentives
Our short-term incentive compensation plan for executive officers is established annually by the Compensation Committee. For fiscal year 2010, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2010 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan established short-term incentive awards that could be earned semi-annually by certain officers of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers, based on the Company’s achievement of certain corporate performance metrics established on a semi-annual basis. Short-term incentives are intended to motivate and reward executives by tying a significant portion of their total compensation to the Company’s achievement of pre-established performance metrics that are generally short-term (i.e., less than one year). In establishing the short-term incentive plan, the Compensation Committee first determined a competitive short-term incentive target for each Named Executive Officer based on the Comparator Group data, and then set threshold, target and maximum incentive payment levels. At the target payout level, Skyworks’ short-term incentive was designed to result in an incentive payout equal to the median of the Comparator Group, while a maximum incentive payout for exceeding the performance metrics would result in a payout above the median of the Comparator Group, and a threshold payout for meeting the minimal corporate performance metrics would result in a payout below the median. The following table shows the incentive payment levels the Named Executive Officers could earn in fiscal year 2010 (shown as a percentage of base salary), depending on the Company’s achievement of the performance metrics. Actual performance between the threshold and the target metrics or between the target and maximum metrics was determined based on a linear sliding scale.
| Threshold | Target | Maximum | ||||||||||
| Chief Executive Officer | 50 | % | 100 | % | 200 | % | ||||||
| Other Named Executive Officers | 30 | % | 60 | % | 120 | % | ||||||
For fiscal year 2010, in establishing the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee considered the fact that for the first half of fiscal 2010 our primary corporate goal was to increase revenue in excess of the market growth rate by gaining market share, while at the same time leveraging our fixed cost structure to generate higher earnings. As in the prior year, for fiscal year 2010, the Compensation Committee split the Incentive Plan into two six month performance periods, with the performance metrics focused on achieving revenue, non-GAAP gross margin and specified non-GAAP operating margin targets, in addition to a cash, customer satisfaction and units shipped metric. The weighting of the different metrics for the first half of fiscal year 2010 is set forth as follows.

For the first half of fiscal 2010, each executive officer’s incentive award was consistent with the metrics set forth above, with the Company only making payments for the performance metrics that were achieved. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer (who was eligible to earn 50% of his annual base salary at target for the first half), and the Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Front-End Solutions, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations (each of whom was eligible to earn 30% of his annual base salary at target for the first half) earned a first half incentive award equal to approximately 94%, 57%, 42%, 42% and 57% of his annual base salary, respectively. The Compensation Committee determined to pay, in lieu of cash, unrestricted common stock of the Company for the portion of each of the Named Executive Officer’s first half short-term incentive earned above the target level. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, the Executive Vice President and General Manager, Front-End Solutions, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations received approximately 47%, 47%, 28%, 29% and 47% of their respective first half incentive payments in the form of unrestricted common stock of the Company. In addition, in recognition of their contributions to the Company’s performance during the first half of fiscal 2010, the Compensation Committee approved payments to approximately 800 other non-executive employees under non-executive incentive plans containing terms and conditions similar to the Incentive Plan. Consistent with the Incentive Plan (and other employee incentive plans), actual payments for the first six month performance period were capped at 80% of the award earned, with 20% of the award held back until the end of the fiscal year to ensure sustained financial performance. The amount held back was subsequently paid after the end of the fiscal year since the Company sustained its financial performance throughout fiscal year 2010.
For the second half of fiscal year 2010, the Committee again established performance metrics based on achieving specified revenue and unit shipments, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin targets and a cash and customer satisfaction metric. The weighting of the different metrics for the second half of fiscal year 2010 is set forth as follows.

In determining the weightings among the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee’s goal was to align the incentive compensation of each Named Executive Officer with the performance metrics such executive could most impact. For instance, the performance metrics for the Chief Executive Officer, Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations were designed to focus such executives on improving the Company’s competitive position and achieving profitable growth overall. The performance metrics for the Executive Vice President and General Manager, Front-End Solutions were designed to focus such executive on business unit performance (i.e., the ramping of new products and expansion of the customer base), and the performance metrics for the Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing were designed to focus such executive on increasing revenue while at the same time increasing gross margin.
In the second half of the year, the Company met or exceeded its targets. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer (who was eligible to earn 50% of his annual base salary at target for the second half), and the Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Front-End Solutions, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations (each of whom was eligible to earn 30% of his annual base salary at target for the second half) earned a second half incentive award equal to approximately 87%, 52%, 56%, 53% and 48% of his annual base salary, respectively. The Compensation Committee determined to pay, in lieu of cash, unrestricted common stock of the Company for the portion of each of the Named Executive Officer’s second half short-term incentive earned above the target level. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, the Executive Vice President and General Manager, Front-End Solutions, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations each received approximately 43%, 43%, 47%, 44% and 37% of their respective second half incentive payments in the form of unrestricted common stock of the Company. In addition, the 20% “holdback” of the first half incentive was paid out to each executive officer due to the Company’s sustained financial performance.
For the full fiscal year, the total payments under the Incentive Plan to the Chief Executive Officer (who was eligible to earn 100% of his annual base salary at target for the year), and the Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, the Executive Vice President and General Manager, Front-End Solutions, the Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations (each of whom was eligible to earn 60% of his annual base salary at target for the year) earned approximately 182%, 109%, 98%, 96% and 104% of his annual base salary, respectively.

The target financial performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee under the Incentive Plan are based on our historical operating results and growth rates as well as our expected future results, and are designed to require significant effort and operational success on the part of our executives and the Company. The maximum financial performance metrics established by the Committee have historically been difficult to achieve and are designed to represent outstanding performance that the Committee believes should be rewarded. The Compensation Committee retains the discretion, based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, to make payments even if the threshold performance metrics are not met or to make payments in excess of the maximum level if the Company’s performance exceeds the maximum metrics. The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to retain this discretion in order to make short-term incentive awards in extraordinary circumstances.
Long-Term Stock-Based Compensation
The Compensation Committee generally makes stock-based compensation awards to executive officers on an annual basis. Stock-based compensation awards are intended to align the interests of our executive officers with stockholders, and reward them for increases in stockholder value over long periods of time (i.e., greater than one year). It is the Company’s practice to make stock-based compensation awards to executive officers in November of each year at a pre-scheduled Compensation Committee meeting. For fiscal year 2010, the Compensation Committee made awards to executive officers, including certain Named Executive Officers, on November 10, 2009, at a regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting. Stock options awarded to executive officers at the meeting had an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the meeting date.
In making stock-based compensation awards to certain executive officers for fiscal year 2010, the Compensation Committee first reviewed the Comparator Group data to determine the percentage of the outstanding number of shares that are typically used for employee compensation programs. The Compensation Committee then set the number of Skyworks shares of common stock that would be made available for executive officer awards at approximately the median of the Comparator Group based on the business need, internal and external circumstances and RiskMetrics/ISS guidelines. The Compensation Committee then reviewed the Comparator Group by executive position to determine the allocation of the available shares among the executive officers. The Compensation Committee then attributed a long-term equity-based compensation value to each executive officer. One-half of that value was converted to a number of stock options using an estimated Black-Scholes value, and the remaining half of the value was converted to a number of performance share awards (at target) based on the fair market value of the common stock. The Compensation Committee’s rationale for awarding performance shares is to further align the executive’s interest with those of the Company’s stockholders by using equity-awards that will vest only if the Company achieves a pre-established performance metric(s).
Other Compensation and Benefits
We also provide other benefits to our executive officers that are intended to be part of a competitive overall compensation program and are not tied to any company performance criteria. Consistent with the Compensation Committee’s goal of ensuring that executive compensation is perceived as fair to all stakeholders, the Company offers medical plans, dental plans, vision plans, life insurance plans and disability insurance plans to executive officers under the same terms as such benefits are offered to all other employees. Additionally, executive officers are permitted to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan under the same terms as all other employees. The Company does not provide executive officers with any enhanced retirement benefits (i.e., executive officers are subject to the same limits on contributions as other employees, as the Company does not offer any SERP or other similar non-qualified deferred compensation plan), and they are eligible for 401(k) company-match contributions under the same terms as other employees.
Although certain Named Executive Officers were historically provided an opportunity to participate in the Company’s Executive Compensation Plan (the “Executive Compensation Plan”) — an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan, under which participants were allowed to defer a portion of their compensation — as a result of deferred compensation legislation under Section 409A of the IRC, effective December 31, 2005, the Company no longer permits employees to make contributions to the plan. Although the Company had discretion to make additional contributions to the accounts of participants while the Executive Compensation Plan was active, it never did so.
11
Severance and Change of Control Benefits
None of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, has an employment agreement that provides a specific term of employment with the Company. Accordingly, the employment of any such employee may be terminated at any time. We do provide certain benefits to our Named Executive Officers upon certain qualifying terminations and in connection with terminations under certain circumstances following a change of control. A description of the material terms of our severance and change of control arrangements with the Named Executive Officers can be found under the“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”section below.
The Company believes that severance protections can play a valuable role in recruiting and retaining superior talent. Severance and other termination benefits are an effective way to offer executives financial security to incent them to forego an opportunity with another company. These agreements also protect the Company as the Named Executive Officers are bound by restrictive non-compete and non-solicit covenants for two years after termination of employment. Outside of the change in control context, severance benefits are payable to the Named Executive Officers if their employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without cause, or if a Named Executive Officer terminates his own employment for a good reason (as defined in the agreement). In addition, provided he forfeits certain equity awards and agrees to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for a minimum of two years, the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to certain severance benefits upon termination of his employment for any reason. The Compensation Committee believes that this provision facilitates his retention with the Company. The level of each Named Executive Officer’s severance or other termination benefit is generally tied to his respective annual base salary and targeted short-term incentive opportunity (or past short-term incentive earned).
Additionally, the Named Executive Officers would receive enhanced severance and other benefits if their employment terminated under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control of the Company. These benefits are described in detail under the“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”section below. The Named Executive Officers are also entitled to receive a tax gross-up payment (with a $500,000 cap for Named Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer) if they become subject to the 20% golden parachute excise tax imposed by Section 280G of the IRC, as the Company believes that the executives should be able to receive their contractual rights to severance without being subject to punitive excise taxes. The Company further believes these enhanced severance benefits are appropriate because the occurrence, or potential occurrence, of a change in control transaction would likely create uncertainty regarding the continued employment of each Named Executive Officer, and these enhanced severance protections encourage the Named Executive Officers to remain employed with the Company through the change in control process and to focus on enhancing stockholder value both before and during the change in control process.
Lastly, each Named Executive Officer’s outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock awards fully vest upon the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, each outstanding performance share award shall be deemed earned as to the greater of (a) the “target” level or (b) the number of shares that would have been deemed earned under the award as of the day prior to the change in control. The Company believes this accelerated vesting is appropriate given the importance of long-term equity awards in our executive compensation program and the uncertainty regarding the continued employment of Named Executive Officers that typically occurs in a change in control context. The Company’s view is that this vesting protection helps assure the Named Executive Officers that they will not lose the expected value of their equity awards because of a change in control of the Company and encourages the Named Executive Officers to remain employed with the Company through the change in control process and to focus on enhancing stockholder value both before and during the process.

| (1) | Actual performance between the Threshold and Target metrics are paid on a linear sliding scale beginning at the Threshold percentage and moving up to the Target percentage. The same linear scale applies for performance between Target and Maximum metrics. The amounts actually paid to the Named Executive Officers under the Incentive Plan are shown above in the“Summary Compensation Table”above under“Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”For fiscal year 2010, the portion of the Incentive Plan payment attributable to Company performance above the Target level for both the first and second half of the fiscal year was paid to the Named Executive Officers in the form of unrestricted common stock of the Company. | |
| (2) | Represents performance share awards made on November 10, 2009, under the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “FY10 PSA”). The FY10 PSAs have both “performance” and “continued employment” conditions that must be met in order for the executive to receive shares underlying the award. The “performance” condition required that the Company achieve certain pre-established non-GAAP operating margin metrics (i.e., “minimum,” “target” and “maximum” non-GAAP operating margin levels), with the “minimum” number of shares equal to one-half (1/2) the “target” share level, and the “maximum” number of shares equal to two times (2x) the “target” share level. For purposes of the FY10 PSAs, the “non-GAAP operating margin” meant the Company’s non-GAAP operating margin for Fiscal Year 2010 as reported publicly by the Company following the fiscal year end. Actual Company performance between the “minimum” and the “maximum” performance metrics was to be determined based on a linear sliding scale. The “continued employment” condition of the FY10 PSAs provides that, to the extent that the non-GAAP operating margin performance metric is met for the fiscal year, then one-third (33%) of the total shares for which the performance metric was met would be issuable to the executive on the first anniversary of the grant date, the next one-third (33%) of such shares would be issuable to the executive on the second anniversary of the grant date (the “Second Issuance Date”), and the final one-third (33%) of such shares would be issuable to the executive on the third anniversary of the grant date (the “Third Issuance Date”), provided that the executive continues employment with the Company through each such vesting date(s). In the event of termination by reason of death or permanent disability, the holder of an FY10 PSA (or his or her estate) would receive any shares that would have been issuable thereunder during the remaining term of the award (i.e., earned but unissued shares). | |
| (3) | The options vest over four years at a rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant, provided the executive remains employed by the Company. Options may not be exercised beyond three months after the executive ceases to be employed by the Company, except in the event of termination by reason of death or permanent disability, in which event the option may be exercised for specific periods not exceeding one year following termination. |

| (4) | Stock options awarded to executive officers had an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. | |
| (5) | Amount reflects the grant date fair values of stock options and performance share awards granted on November 10, 2009, computed in accordance ASC 718. |

| (1) | Reflects a price of $20.65 per share, which was the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 1, 2010. | |
| (2) | Other than Mr. Palette’s restricted stock grant on August 20, 2007, which was made as part of a new hire grant package and vests 25% per year over four years, unvested restricted shares shown are comprised of (a) two-thirds (66%) of the November 6, 2007 grant and (b) 100% of the 2009 Replacement RSAs (as described in footnote 9 below). The restricted stock awards made on November 6, 2007 had both performance and service based vesting conditions. The performance condition allowed for accelerated vesting of an award as of the first anniversary, second anniversary and, if not previously accelerated, the third anniversary of the grant date. Specifically, if the Company’s stock performance met or exceeded the 60th percentile of its selected peer group for the years ended on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, then one-third of the award vests upon each anniversary (up to 100%). If the restricted stock recipient met the service |
16
| condition but not the performance condition in years one, two, three and four, the restricted stock would have vested in three equal installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. In November 2008, the first third (33%) of the November 6, 2007 grant vested as a result of a performance accelerator triggered as the Company exceeded the 60th percentile of its peers on the basis of stock performance. On November 6, 2009, another third (33%) of such grant vested as a result of a performance accelerator triggered as the Company exceeded the 60th percentile of its peers. In addition, the last third (33%) of such grant vested on November 6, 2009 as a result of the passage of time. | ||
| (3) | These options were granted on November 10, 2004, and vested at a rate of 25% per year until they became fully vested on November 10, 2008. | |
| (4) | These options were granted on November 8, 2005, and vested at a rate of 25% per year until they became fully vested on November 8, 2009. | |
| (5) | These options were granted on November 7, 2006, and vested at a rate of 25% per year until they became fully vested on November 7, 2010. | |
| (6) | These options were granted on November 6, 2007, and vest at a rate of 25% per year until fully vested on November 6, 2011. | |
| (7) | These options were granted on August 20, 2007, and vest at a rate of 25% per year until fully vested on August 20, 2011. | |
| (8) | These options were granted on May 2, 2005, and vested at a rate of 25% per year until they became fully vested on May 2, 2009. | |
| (9) | Reflects the FY10 PSAs (as described in footnote 2 of the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table”above) and 2009 Replacement PSAs awarded to the Named Executive Officers on November 10, 2009, and June 10, 2009, respectively, both at the “target” level, as well as two-thirds (66%) of the FY09 PSAs awarded on November 4, 2008 at the actual shares earned. Other than having a different “non-GAAP operating margin” performance metric applicable for fiscal year 2009, the FY09 PSAs have the same terms and conditions as the FY10 PSAs described in footnote 2 of the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table”above. With respect to the FY09 PSAs, the Company achieved 95.8% of the “maximum” non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal year 2009 and, accordingly, on November 4, 2009, the Company issued one-third of each executive’s earned shares, and held back the other two-thirds of such earned shares for possible issuance on the Second and Third Issuance Dates provided the executive meets the continued employment condition. Similarly, regarding the FY10 PSAs, the Company achieved 100% of the “maximum” non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal year 2010 and, accordingly, on November 10, 2010, the Company issued one-third of each executive’s earned shares, and held back the other two-thirds of such earned shares for possible issuance on the Second and Third Issuance Dates provided the executive meets the continued employment condition. | |
| On June 4, 2009, each Named Executive Officer had the opportunity to forfeit an outstanding performance share award dated November 6, 2007, that such executive had previously been granted (the “2007 PSA”) and receive, in its place, the following equity awards: | ||
| (1) a restricted stock award (the “2009 Replacement RSA”) covering shares equal to the “Threshold/Nominal” tranche of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be earned under the executive’s 2007 PSA, which shares would vest on November 6, 2010, provided the Named Executive Officer continued his employment with the Company through such date, and | ||
| (2) an IRC Section 162(m) compliant performance share award (the “2009 Replacement PSA”, and together with the 2009 Replacement RSA, the “2009 Replacement Awards”) pursuant to which the executive would receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the aggregate amount of the “target” and “maximum/stretch” tranches of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be earned under the 2007 PSA, if certain conditions are satisfied. | ||
| Each of the Named Executive Officers accepted the Company’s offer and agreed to have his 2007 PSA cancelled and replaced with the 2009 Replacement Awards. The maximum number of shares issued under the 2009 Replacement Awards for each Named Executive Officer on June 10, 2009, was equal to the maximum number of shares that would have been issuable to such executive under his cancelled 2007 PSA. The 2009 Replacement Awards consisted of (a) the 2009 Replacement RSAs that vested on November 6, 2010, as follows: Mr. Aldrich (150,000 shares), Mr. Palette (17,500 shares), Mr. Waters (20,000 shares), Mr. Griffin |
17
| (50,000 shares) and Mr. Freyman (25,000 shares); and (b) the 2009 Replacement PSAs as follows (which represents the number of shares that could have been received under each such executive’s 2007 PSA if the “maximum/stretch” tranches of shares were earned): Mr. Aldrich (300,000 shares), Mr. Palette (35,000 shares), Mr. Waters (40,000 shares), Mr. Griffin (100,000 shares) and Mr. Freyman (50,000 shares). The 2009 Replacement PSAs have both “relative stock performance” and “continued employment” conditions that must be met in order for the executive to receive any shares underlying the award. The “relative stock performance” condition provided that if the percentage change in the price of Skyworks’ common stock as compared to a “peer group” of companies during a specified “measuring period” exceeded the 60th percentile of such peer group, then the “target” price level change would have been met and 50% of the total shares covered by the PSA would be earned, subject to the continued employment condition. If the percentage change in the price of Skyworks’ common stock exceeded the 70th percentile of the peer group then the “maximum” price level change would have been met and 100% of the shares subject to the PSA would be earned, subject to the continued employment condition. The percentage change in the price of the common stock of the Company, as well as each member of the Peer Group, during the Measurement Period was determined by comparing (x) the average of such entity’s stock price for the ninety (90) day period beginning on November 6, 2007 to (y) the average of the entity’s stock price for the ninety (90) day period ending on November 6, 2010. For purposes of calculating the average price of the common stock of an entity during such ninety (90) day periods, only “trading days” (days on which the NASDAQ Global Select Market is open for trading) were used in such calculation, and trading volume on any such trading day was not factored into such calculation. For purposes of the 2009 Replacement PSAs, the “Measurement Period” was deemed to have started on November 6, 2007, and ended on November 6, 2010. The “continued employment” condition provides that, if the relative stock price performance condition is met for either the “target” or “maximum” level, then 50% of the total shares for which the relative stock price performance metric was met would be issuable to the executive on November 6, 2010, and the other 50% of such total shares would be issuable to the executive on or about November 6, 2011, provided that the executive is employed with Skyworks through such date(s). In the event of termination by reason of death or permanent disability after the measurement date of a 2009 Replacement PSA (but before shares are issued), the holder (or his or her estate) would receive the number of shares that would have been issuable thereunder based on the actual performance of the Company. In November 2010, the Company determined that the change in the price of the Company’s common stock had exceeded the 70th percentile of its Peer Group and as a result the “maximum” relative stock performance level had been met and therefore 100% of the shares subject to the PSA were eligible for issuance subject to the continued employment condition. On November 6, 2010, the Company issued one-half of each executive’s earned shares. | ||
| (10) | These options were granted on November 4, 2008, and vest at a rate of 25% annually through November 4, 2012. | |
| (11) | These options were granted on November 10, 2009, and vest at a rate of 25% annually through November 10, 2013. |

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table
In prior fiscal years, certain executive officers were provided an opportunity to participate in the Company’s Executive Compensation Plan, an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan, under which participants were allowed to defer a portion of their compensation, as a result of deferred compensation legislation under Section 409A of the IRC. The Company has not permitted employees to make contributions to the Executive Compensation Plan since December 31, 2005. Mr. Aldrich is the only Named Executive Officer that participated in the Executive Compensation Plan. Mr. Aldrich’s contributions are credited with earnings/losses based upon the performance of the investments he selects. Upon retirement, as defined in the Executive Compensation Plan, or other separation from service, or, if so elected, upon any earlier change in control of the Company, a participant is entitled to a payment of his or her vested account balance, either in a single lump sum or in annual installments, as elected in advance by the participant. Although the Company had discretion to make additional contributions to the accounts of participants while it was active, it never made any company contributions.
The following table summarizes the aggregate earnings in the fiscal year 2010 for Mr. Aldrich under the Executive Compensation Plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
Chief Executive Officer
In January 2008, the Company entered into an amended and restated Change of Control / Severance Agreement with Mr. Aldrich (the “Aldrich Agreement”). The Aldrich Agreement sets out severance benefits that become payable if, within two (2) years after a change of control, Mr. Aldrich either (i) is involuntarily terminated without cause or (ii) voluntarily terminates his employment. The severance benefits provided to Mr. Aldrich in such circumstances will consist of the following: (i) a payment equal to two and one-half (21/2) times the sum of (A) his annual base salary immediately prior to the change of control and (B) his annual short-term incentive award (calculated as the greater of (x) the average short-term incentive awards received for the three years prior to the year in which the change of control occurs or (y) the target annual short incentive award for the year in which the change of control occurs); (ii) all then outstanding stock options will remain exercisable for a period of thirty (30) months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms); and (iii) continued medical benefits for a period of eighteen (18) months after the termination date. The foregoing payments are subject to a gross-up payment for any applicable excise taxes incurred under Section 4999 of the IRC. Additionally, in the event of a change of control, Mr. Aldrich’s Agreement provides for full acceleration of the vesting of all then outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and partial acceleration of any outstanding performance share awards (“PSAs”).
The Aldrich Agreement also sets out severance benefits outside of a change of control that become payable if, while employed by the Company, Mr. Aldrich either (i) is involuntarily terminated without cause or (ii) terminates his employment for good reason. The severance benefits provided to Mr. Aldrich under either of these circumstances will consist of the following: (i) a payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) his annual base salary immediately prior to such termination and (B) his annual short-term incentive award (calculated as the greater of (x) the average short-term incentive awards received for the three years prior to the year in which the termination occurs or (y) the target annual short-term incentive award for the year in which the termination occurs); and (ii) full acceleration of the vesting of all outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards, with such stock options to remain exercisable for a period of two (2) years after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms), and, with respect to any PSAs outstanding, shares subject to such award would have been deemed earned to the extent any such shares would have been earned pursuant to the terms of such award as of the day prior to the date of such termination (without regard to any continued service requirement) (collectively, “Severance Benefits”). In the event of Mr. Aldrich’s death or disability, all outstanding stock options will vest in full and remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of employment (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms).
In addition, the Aldrich Agreement provides that if Mr. Aldrich voluntarily terminates his employment after January 1, 2010, subject to certain notice requirements and his availability to continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company and as chairman of a committee thereof for up to two (2) years, he shall be entitled to the Severance Benefits; provided however, that all Company stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and any other equity-based awards, which were both (a) granted to him in the eighteen (18) month period prior to such termination and (b) scheduled to vest more than two (2) years from the date of such termination, will be forfeited.
The Aldrich Agreement is intended to be compliant with Section 409A of the IRC. Additionally, the Aldrich Agreement requires Mr. Aldrich to sign a release of claims in favor of the Company before he is eligible to receive any benefits under the agreement, and contains non-compete and non-solicitation provisions applicable to him while he is employed by the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of his employment.
After the fiscal year end, on November 23, 2010, the Company modified the Aldrich Agreement as follows: (1) the initial term of the Agreement was extended for three (3) years until January 22, 2014, at which time the Agreement will renew on an annual basis for up to five (5) additional one year periods, unless at least 90 days prior to the end of the initial term or the then-current additional term, either party provides written notice that the Aldrich
20
Agreement should not be extended; and (2) in order to ensure that any PSAs issued to Mr. Aldrich continue to be treated as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the IRC, the Agreement was amended such that if Mr. Aldrich is involuntarily terminated or terminates his employment for good reason or for no reason, he will be entitled to receive only the number of performance shares under outstanding PSAs that he would have received had he actually remained employed through the end of the performance period applicable to such PSAs. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain the same.
Other Named Executive Officers
In January 2008, the Company entered into Change of Control / Severance Agreements with each of Bruce J. Freyman, Liam K. Griffin, Donald W. Palette and Gregory L. Waters (each a “COC Agreement”). Each COC Agreement sets out severance benefits that become payable if, within twelve (12) months after a change of control, the executive either (i) is involuntarily terminated without cause or (ii) terminates his employment for good reason. The severance benefits provided to the executive in such circumstances will consist of the following: (i) a payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) his annual base salary immediately prior to the change of control and (B) his annual short-term incentive award (calculated as the greater of (x) the average short-term incentive awards received for the three years prior to the year in which the change of control occurs or (y) the target annual short-term incentive award for the year in which the change of control occurs); (ii) all then outstanding stock options will remain exercisable for a period of eighteen (18) months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms); and (iii) continued medical benefits for eighteen (18) months after the termination date. The foregoing payments are subject to a gross-up payment limited to a maximum of $500,000 for any applicable excise taxes incurred under Section 4999 of the IRC. Additionally, in the event of a change of control, each COC Agreement provides for full acceleration of the vesting of all then outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and partial acceleration of any outstanding performance share awards. In the case of Mr. Freyman’s COC Agreement, the severance payment due will be paid out in bi-weekly installments over a twelve (12) month period.
Each COC Agreement also sets out severance benefits outside a change of control that become payable if, while employed by the Company, the executive is involuntarily terminated without cause. The severance benefits provided to the executive under such circumstance will consist of the following: (i) a payment equal to the sum of (x) his annual base salary and (y) any short-term incentive award then due; and (ii) all then vested outstanding stock options will remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination date (but not beyond the expiration of their respective maximum terms). In the case of Mr. Freyman’s COC Agreement, any severance payment due will be paid out in bi-weekly installments over a twelve (12) month period.

Additional annual retainers are paid, in quarterly installments, to the Chairman of the Board ($17,500); the Chairman of the Audit Committee ($15,000); the Chairman of the Compensation Committee ($10,000); and the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee ($5,000).

In addition, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to recommend to the full Board of Directors that additional cash payments be made to a non-employee director(s) for extraordinary service during a fiscal year.
In addition, non-employee directors receive the following stock-based compensation: each non-employee director, when first elected to serve as a director, automatically receives a nonqualified stock option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and a restricted stock award for 12,500 shares of common stock. In addition, following each annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director who is continuing in office or re-elected receives a restricted stock award for 12,500 shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the nonqualified stock options awarded under the 2008 Director’s Plan will vest in four (4) equal annual installments and the restricted stock awards under the 2008 Director’s Plan will vest in three (3) equal annual installments. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the outstanding options and restricted stock under the 2008 Director’s Plan shall become fully exercisable and deemed fully vested, respectively.
No director who is also an employee receives separate compensation for services rendered as a director. David J. Aldrich is currently the only director who is also an employee of the Company.

At the time of the spin-off of Conexant’s wireless business and merger of such business into Alpha Industries, Inc., outstanding Conexant options granted pursuant to certain Conexant stock-based compensation plans were converted so that following the spin-off and merger each holder of those certain Conexant options held (i) options to purchase shares of Conexant common stock and (ii) options to purchase shares of Skyworks common stock. The purpose of the Washington Sub Plan is to provide a means for the Company to perform its obligations with respect to these converted stock options. The only participants in the Washington Sub Plan are those persons who, at the time of the spin-off and merger, held outstanding options granted pursuant to certain Conexant stock option plans. No further options to purchase shares of Skyworks common stock have been or will be granted under the Washington Sub Plan. The Washington Sub Plan contains a number of sub-plans, which contain terms and conditions that are applicable to certain portions of the options subject to the Washington Sub Plan, depending upon the Conexant stock option plan from which the Skyworks options granted under the Washington Sub Plan were derived. The outstanding options under the Washington Sub Plan generally have the same terms and conditions as the original Conexant options from which they are derived. Most of the sub-plans of the Washington Sub Plan contain provisions related to the effect of a participant’s termination of employment with the Company, if any, and/or with Conexant on options granted pursuant to such sub-plan. Several of the sub-plans under the Washington Sub Plan contain specific provisions related to a change in control of the Company.
Non-Qualified ESPP
The Company also maintains a Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan to provide employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase, by means of payroll deductions, of shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount from the market price of the common stock at the time of purchase. The Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended for use primarily by employees of the Company located outside the United States. Under the plan, eligible employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of compensation. The price per share is the lower of 85% of the market price at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions: Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are described above in Item 11 “Executive Compensation,” since October 3, 2009, there has not been a transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company was or is a party involving an amount in excess of $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. In January 2008, the Board of Directors adopted a written related person transaction approval policy which sets forth the Company’s policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of any transaction required to be reported in its filings with the SEC. The Company’s policy with regard to related person transactions is that all related person transactions between the Company and any related person (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) or their affiliates, in which the amount involved is equal to or greater then $120,000, be reviewed by the Company’s General Counsel and approved in advance by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that employees discuss with the Company’s Compliance Officer any significant relationship (or transaction) that might raise doubt about such employee’s ability to act in the best interest of the Company.
Director Independence: Each year, the Board of Directors reviews the relationships that each director has with the Company and with other parties. Only those directors who do not have any of the categorical relationships that preclude them from being independent within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ Rules and who the Board of Directors affirmatively determines have no relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, are considered to be independent directors. The Board of
29
Directors has reviewed a number of factors to evaluate the independence of each of its members. These factors include its members’ current and historic relationships with the Company and its competitors, suppliers and customers; their relationships with management and other directors; the relationships their current and former employers have with the Company; and the relationships between the Company and other companies of which a member of the Company’s Board of Directors is a director or executive officer. After evaluating these factors, the Board of Directors has determined that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, namely, Kevin L. Beebe, Moiz M. Beguwala, Timothy R. Furey, Balakrishnan S. Iyer, Thomas C. Leonard, David J. McLachlan, David P. McGlade and Robert A. Schriesheim, do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as a director and are independent directors of the Company within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ Rules.
