Strategic Rationale [] Adds a portfolio of Linear and Power Management products to Microchip's Analog and Interface products. [] Adds a portfolio of LAN Solutions to Microchip's solutions of connectivity products. [] Adds Timing and Communication products as a new set of products and business unit to Microchip. [] Microchip's manufacturing and sales channel strengths can extend the reach of Micrel's solutions into new applications and markets. [] Adds a portfolio of 400 patents to Microchip IP portfolio.

Next Steps [] Microchip and Micrel executives will work towards completing the acquisition expeditiously. [] We expect to close transaction in early CQ3, 2015. [] We will form an integration team consisting of employees from both companies who will outline the integration strategy in areas of IT, HR, Finance, legal, operations, product lines and sales.

Some Answers in the HR area [] Your vested stock options will be cashed out at $14.00 stock price. [] Your unvested stock options will be assumed by Microchip adjusted for the exchange ratio. [] # of options = Current number of options x Exchange ratio [] Option price= Current option price/Exchange ratio [] The vesting schedule will remain the same [] Exchange ratio= 14/ Microchip's avg. closing stock price for the ten trading days ending on the second to last trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time.

ESPP [] Micrel's ESPP will be terminated. [] We will develop a schedule for employees to join Microchip's ESPP. [] Microchip's U. S. ESPP plan has a two years look back period and a 15% discount, and is therefore more generous than Micrel's ESPP plan. [] Our international ESPP plan has a 6 months look back period and has a 15% discount.

401K [] Micrel's 401K plan will be frozen. [] The employees can enroll into Microchip's 401K plan. [] Microchip's 401K plan has a match contribution by Microchip. [] Match is quarterly and is discretionary based on business results. [] Target match is 50% of the first 4% of basic contributions. [] Micrel's's 401K plan will undergo a typical IRS audit. Once approved, you will have the option to distribute or roll your monies into an IRA or Microchip 401(k) Plan.
