1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On February 22, 2014, RF Micro Devices, Inc. ("RFMD") and TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. ("TriQuint") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as subsequently amended on July 15, 2014, the "Merger Agreement") providing for the business combination of RFMD and TriQuint ("Business Combination") under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc. (formerly named Rocky Holding, Inc.) ("Qorvo"). The shareholders of both RFMD and TriQuint approved the Merger Agreement at each company's special meeting of shareholders on September 5, 2014. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, all necessary regulatory approvals were received to complete the Business Combination. The Business Combination closing was effective on January 1, 2015 (fourth quarter of fiscal 2015). For financial reporting and accounting purposes, RFMD was the acquirer of TriQuint. The results presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") reflect those of RFMD prior to the completion of the merger with TriQuint on January 1, 2015. See Note 9 for a further discussion of the Business Combination. As used herein, all references to "the Company," "we," "us" and "our" prior to January 1, 2015 refer to RFMD and all such references on or after January 1, 2015 refer to Qorvo.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with RFMD’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in RFMD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2014.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2015 is a 52-week year and fiscal 2014 was a 52-week year.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective January 1, 2015, the Company effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4.C, all share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. See Note 9 for a further discussion of the Business Combination.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013		December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013
Numerator:

Denominator:

Effect of dilutive securities:
Share-based awards	1,731		1,370		1,916		1,451
Denominator for diluted net income per share — adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	74,454		71,980		74,083		71,888
Basic net income per share	$	1.21	$	0.09	$	2.63	$	0.19
Diluted net income per share	$	1.18	$	0.09	$	2.56	$	0.19

In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended December 27, 2014, no potential shares were excluded from the calculation. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the nine months ended December 27, 2014, outstanding stock options to purchase less than 0.1 million shares were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, approximately 1.9 million shares and 2.0 million shares, respectively, were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume the conversion of the Company’s $175 million initial aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes (the "2014 Notes"). The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid with cash on hand (see Note 4).

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the average cost method. The components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

	December 27, 2014		March 29, 2014
Raw materials	$	39,446	$	32,927
Work in process	66,347		51,544
Finished goods	64,226		41,232
Total inventories	$	170,019	$	125,703

4. DEBT

Credit Agreement

In March 2013, the Company and certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) entered into a four-year senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and a lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. On August 15, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to revise the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" and a provision regarding restricted payments. On October 15, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended in connection with the Business Combination (see Note 9) to reflect the lenders’ consent to the Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). On December 26, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to reflect the lenders' consent to increase the threshold for the Company's investments in foreign subsidiaries to $35.0 million. The Company currently has no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement and is in compliance with the financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement as of December 27, 2014.

5. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013.

The Company’s income tax expense was $15.6 million and $34.9 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, respectively, and $8.2 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.1% and 15.5% for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, respectively, and 56.7% and 45.3% for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for both the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and the third quarter of fiscal 2014 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, adjustments to the valuation allowance limiting the recognition of the benefit of domestic deferred tax assets, the domestic production activity deduction (for fiscal 2015 only), and adjustments to reduce the carrying value of United Kingdom (U.K.) deferred tax assets (for fiscal 2014 only).

Deferred Taxes

The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets has decreased in fiscal 2015 by $31.1 million from the $143.3 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2014, with the change primarily arising from a decrease in domestic deferred tax assets as a result of generating current year domestic taxable income. The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its full or partial reversal. The amount of the deferred tax assets actually realized could vary depending upon the amount of taxable income the Company is able to generate in the various taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company will continue to evaluate the available positive and negative evidence in future periods, including the level of profitability in the U.S. during the remainder of fiscal 2015 and the impact of the Business Combination, which closed on January 1, 2015.  To the extent it is then determined it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, a significant portion of the valuation allowance related to domestic deferred tax assets may be released.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to U.K. tax losses was increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as manufacturing operations at the U.K. manufacturing facility were in process of being phased out and U.K. tax loss carryovers can only be used to offset income generated by the same trade or business from which they arose.

The Company has outstanding domestic federal and state tax net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry-forwards that began or will begin to expire in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2015, respectively, if unused. The use of the NOLs that were acquired in prior year acquisitions is subject to certain annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state tax provisions.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased from $39.4 million as of the end of fiscal 2014 to $40.4 million as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015, with the change arising from a $0.9 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to the current fiscal year and a $0.1 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to prior fiscal years.

6. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities was based on the prevailing market values on December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014. We determine the cost of an investment sold based on the specific identification method.

There were no gross realized gains and losses recognized on available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014. The gross realized gains and losses recognized on available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013 were insignificant.

Available-for-sale investments in a continuous unrealized loss position for fewer than 12 months as of December 27, 2014, consisted of U.S. government/agency securities with gross unrealized losses of less than $0.1 million and an aggregate fair value of approximately $58.0 million. No available-for-sale investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater as of December 27, 2014. No available-for-sale investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 29, 2014.

The amortized cost of available-for-sale investments in debt securities with contractual maturities is as follows (in thousands):

	December 27, 2014				March 29, 2014
	Cost		Estimated Fair Value		Cost		Estimated Fair Value

On a quarterly basis, the Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities, which are comprised of U.S. government/agency securities, auction rate securities (ARS), equity securities, and money market funds. Marketable securities are reported at fair value in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis was determined using the following levels of inputs as of December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014 (in thousands):

	Total		Quoted Prices In Active Markets For Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
December 27, 2014
U.S. government/agency securities	$	172,531	$	172,531	$	—
Auction rate securities	2,150		—		2,150
Equity securities	6,079		6,079		—
Money market funds	22,261		22,261		—
	$	203,021	$	200,871	$	2,150
March 29, 2014
U.S. government/agency securities	$	133,065	$	133,065	$	—
Auction rate securities	2,150		—		2,150
Equity securities	—		—		—
Money market funds	48,800		48,800		—
	$	184,015	$	181,865	$	2,150

ARS are debt instruments with interest rates that reset through periodic short-term auctions. The Company’s Level 2 ARS are valued at par based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As of December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014, the Company did not have any Level 3 securities.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company's non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, property and equipment, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a non-monetary exchange are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment, and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, the Company did not have any material non-financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $1.7 million impairment of certain property and equipment as a result of the phase out of manufacturing and the then-pending sale of its U.K. manufacturing facility. As of June 29, 2013, the fair value of these impaired assets was estimated to be $0.8 million using a significant Level 3 unobservable input (market valuation approach). The market valuation approach uses prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as the Company's experience. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold its U.K. manufacturing facility, which resulted in a loss on these impaired assets of $0.6 million.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The entity will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

8. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s operating segments as of December 27, 2014 are its Cellular Products Group (CPG), Multi-Market Products Group (MPG) and Compound Semiconductor Group (CSG).

costs, certain consulting costs, and other miscellaneous corporate overhead expenses that the Company does not allocate to its reportable segments because these expenses are not included in the segment operating performance measures evaluated by the Company’s CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company’s operating segments do not record inter-company revenue. The Company does not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Except as discussed above regarding the “All other” category, the Company’s accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

The following tables present details of the Company’s reportable segments and a reconciliation of the “All other” category (in thousands):

9.     MERGER AGREEMENT

Effective January 1, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, RFMD and TriQuint completed a strategic combination of their respective businesses through the “merger of equals” Business Combination.

13

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

As a result of the Business Combination, RFMD and TriQuint will combine complementary product portfolios, featuring power amplifiers (PAs), power management integrated circuits (PMICs), antenna control solutions, switch-based products and premium filters, to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance mobile solutions. It is expected that the Business Combination will strengthen the combined company’s service to the infrastructure and defense/aerospace industries and enable advanced gallium nitride (GaN) solutions for additional markets and applications. It is expected that customers also will benefit from new scale advantages in manufacturing and research and development, as well as an aggressive roadmap of new products and technologies.

The parties effected the Business Combination by (i) merging a newly-formed direct subsidiary of Qorvo with and into TriQuint, with TriQuint surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Qorvo (such merger, the “TriQuint Merger”); and (ii) merging a newly-formed direct subsidiary of Qorvo with and into RFMD, with RFMD surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Qorvo (the “RFMD Merger,” and, together with the TriQuint Merger, the “Mergers”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the RFMD Merger (the “RFMD Merger Effective Time”), by virtue of the RFMD Merger and without any action on the part of any shareholder, each share of common stock of RFMD, no par value per share (“RFMD Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.25 of a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Qorvo (“Qorvo Common Stock”) (the exchange ratio of one share of RFMD Common Stock for 0.25 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock, the “RFMD Conversion Ratio”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the RFMD Merger Effective Time, all RFMD equity awards as of immediately prior to the RFMD Merger Effective Time were assumed by Qorvo, except that such equity awards as were exercisable for or may be settled in shares of RFMD Common Stock became exercisable for or may be settled in shares of Qorvo Common Stock based on the RFMD Conversion Ratio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the TriQuint Merger (the “TriQuint Merger Effective Time”), by virtue of the TriQuint Merger and without any action on the part of any stockholder, each share of common stock of TriQuint, $0.001 par value per share (“TriQuint Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.4187 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock (the exchange ratio of one share of TriQuint Common Stock for 0.4187 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock, the “TriQuint Conversion Ratio” and, together with the RFMD Conversion Ratio, the “Conversion Ratios”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the TriQuint Merger Effective Time, all TriQuint equity awards as of immediately prior to the TriQuint Merger Effective Time were assumed by Qorvo, except that such equity awards as were exercisable for or may be settled in shares of TriQuint Common Stock became exercisable for or may be settled in shares of Qorvo Common Stock based on the TriQuint Conversion Ratio.

The RFMD Merger Effective Time occurred immediately after the TriQuint Merger Effective Time. At the closing of the transaction, the effect of the application of the Conversion Ratios constituted a one-for-four reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of RFMD Common Stock and TriQuint Common Stock. As discussed in Note 2, all share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4.C.

The RFMD Common Stock and the TriQuint Common Stock were voluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market in connection with the Business Combination. The Qorvo Common Stock is now trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “QRVO”.

Based on an evaluation of the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” RFMD was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under FASB ASC Topic 805, RFMD is treated as having acquired TriQuint in an all-stock transaction for an estimated total purchase price of approximately $5,200.0 million. The calculation of the total purchase price is based on the outstanding shares of TriQuint as of the acquisition date multiplied by the exchange ratio of 1.6749, and the resulting shares are then adjusted by the one-for-four reverse stock split and multiplied by the Qorvo split-adjusted share price of $66.36 on the date of acquisition. The purchase price also includes the fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to service prior to the closing of the Business Combination, which is estimated based on the ratio of the service period rendered as of the acquisition date to the total service period. The calculation of the estimated purchase price is subject to change as the Company is in process of completing the final analysis of certain components of the purchase price.

14

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The total estimated purchase price will be allocated to TriQuint's net assets and liabilities of approximately $1,100.0 million and the remaining portion of the purchase price will be allocated to intangible assets consisting primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, purchase order backlog, trade name and in-process research and development. Because the Business Combination closed on January 1, 2015, the Company has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the estimates of the fair value of TriQuint’s assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be allocated to goodwill, which the Company expects will be significant.

The following unaudited pro forma revenue for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, assumes that the acquisition of TriQuint, which closed on January 1, 2015, was completed as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013		December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013
Revenue	$	741,402	$	555,482	$	1,920,849	$	1,598,324

Pro forma revenue includes adjustments for the purchases by RFMD of various products from TriQuint. The pro forma revenue has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the revenue that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually taken place as of March 31, 2013. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect the actual revenue that might have been achieved by Qorvo.

Pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share have not been presented as we are still completing the valuation studies necessary to arrive at these financial measures. We expect the valuation may impact intangible amortization expense, depreciation expense, share-based compensation expense, and income tax expense.

During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $0.7 million and $4.5 million and integration costs of $6.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively, associated with the Business Combination. The acquisition and integration costs are being expensed as incurred and are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Other operating expense."

10.     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January 1, 2015, RFMD and TriQuint completed a strategic combination of their respective businesses through a “merger of equals” in an all-stock transaction. See Note 9 for a detailed discussion of this transaction.

MERGER TRANSACTION

Effective January 1, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, RFMD and TriQuint completed a strategic combination of their respective businesses through the “merger of equals” Business Combination.

As a result of the Business Combination, RFMD and TriQuint will combine complementary product portfolios, featuring power amplifiers (PAs), power management integrated circuits (PMICs), antenna control solutions, switch-based products and premium filters, to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance mobile solutions. We believe the Business Combination will strengthen the combined company’s service to the infrastructure and defense/aerospace industries and enable advanced gallium nitride (GaN) solutions for additional markets and applications. We believe that customers also will benefit from new scale advantages in manufacturing and research and development, as well as an aggressive roadmap of new products and technologies.

The parties effected the Business Combination by (i) merging a newly-formed direct subsidiary of Qorvo with and into TriQuint, with TriQuint surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Qorvo (such merger, the “TriQuint Merger”); and (ii) merging a newly-formed direct subsidiary of Qorvo with and into RFMD, with RFMD surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Qorvo (the “RFMD Merger,” and, together with the TriQuint Merger, the “Mergers”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the RFMD Merger (the “RFMD Merger Effective Time”), by virtue of the RFMD Merger and without any action on the part of any shareholder, each share of common stock of RFMD, no par value per share (“RFMD Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.25 of a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Qorvo (“Qorvo Common Stock”) (the exchange ratio of one share of RFMD Common Stock for 0.25 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock, the “RFMD Conversion Ratio”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the RFMD Merger Effective Time, all RFMD equity awards as of immediately prior to the RFMD Merger Effective Time were assumed by Qorvo, except that such equity awards as were exercisable for or may be settled in shares of RFMD Common Stock became exercisable for or may be settled in shares of Qorvo Common Stock based on the RFMD Conversion Ratio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the TriQuint Merger (the “TriQuint Merger Effective Time”), by virtue of the TriQuint Merger and without any action on the part of any stockholder, each share of common stock of TriQuint, $0.001 par value per share (“TriQuint Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.4187 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock (the exchange ratio of one share of TriQuint Common Stock for 0.4187 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock, the “TriQuint Conversion Ratio” and, together with the RFMD Conversion Ratio, the “Conversion Ratios”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the TriQuint Merger Effective Time, all TriQuint equity awards as of immediately prior to the TriQuint Merger Effective Time were assumed by Qorvo, except that such equity awards as were exercisable for or may be settled in shares of TriQuint Common Stock became exercisable for or may be settled in shares of Qorvo Common Stock based on the TriQuint Conversion Ratio.

17

The RFMD Merger Effective Time occurred immediately after the TriQuint Merger Effective Time. At the closing of the transaction, the effect of the application of the Conversion Ratios constituted a one-for-four reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of RFMD Common Stock and TriQuint Common Stock. As discussed in Note 2, all share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4.C.

The RFMD Common Stock and the TriQuint Common Stock were voluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market in connection with the Business Combination. The Qorvo Common Stock is now trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “QRVO”.

Based on an evaluation of the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” RFMD was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under FASB ASC Topic 805, RFMD is treated as having acquired TriQuint in an all-stock transaction for an estimated total purchase price of approximately $5,200.0 million. The calculation of the total purchase price is based on the outstanding shares of TriQuint as of January 1, 2015 multiplied by the exchange ratio of 1.6749, and the resulting shares are then adjusted by the one-for-four reverse stock split and multiplied by the Qorvo opening share price on January 2, 2015 of $66.36. The purchase price also includes the fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to service prior to the closing of the Business Combination, which is estimated based on the ratio of the service period rendered as of January 1, 2015 to the total service period. The calculation of the estimated purchase price is subject to change as the Company is in process of completing the final analysis of certain components of the purchase price.

OVERVIEW

The results presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following MD&A, reflect only those of RFMD, prior to the completion of the merger with TriQuint on January 1, 2015.

• Quarterly revenue increased 37.6% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2014, primarily due to increased demand for our cellular RF solutions for smartphones.

• Gross margin for the quarter was 48.0% as compared to 37.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to manufacturing- and sourcing-related cost reductions and a favorable change in product mix towards higher margin products, which was slightly offset by average selling price erosion.

• Operating income was $103.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to operating income of $15.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue, improved gross margin, and lower operating expenses.

• Inventory totaled $170.0 million at December 27, 2014, reflecting turns of 4.9 as compared to $136.3 million and turns of 5.3 at December 28, 2013.

• Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $1.18 as compared to $0.09 for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 after giving retroactive effect to the one-for-four reverse stock split related to the Business Combination.

• Cash flow from operations was $72.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to $70.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

• During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded merger-related expenses and integration costs totaling $7.5 million related to the Business Combination with TriQuint, which was completed on January 1, 2015.

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	December 27, 2014			December 28, 2013			December 27, 2014			December 28, 2013
Interest expense	$	(197	)	$	(1,469	)	$	(866	)	$	(4,381	)

Income tax expense	(15,568		)	(8,161		)	(34,913		)	(11,340		)

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 as compared to the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, primarily due to lower debt balances. The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid with cash on hand.

Our interest expense included cash interest of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, compared to cash interest of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, respectively.

Other Income

The fluctuations in other income for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 as compared to the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, are primarily related to the foreign currency exchange rate impact on our Euro, Renminbi (or Yuan) and Sterling denominated accounts.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013.

22

Income tax expense was $15.6 million and $34.9 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, which is comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations, offset by a tax benefit related to changes in the domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Income tax expense was $8.2 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, which is comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations and reductions in the net U.K. deferred tax asset, offset by a tax benefit related to changes in the domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets decreased by $31.1 million from the $143.3 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2014, with the change primarily arising from a decrease in domestic deferred tax assets as a result of generating current year domestic taxable income. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance against the domestic net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its full or partial reversal. The amount of the deferred tax assets actually realized could vary depending upon the amount of taxable income we are able to generate in the various taxing jurisdictions in which we have operations. The Company will continue to evaluate the available positive and negative evidence in future periods, including the level of profitability in the U.S. during the remainder of fiscal 2015 and the impact of the Business Combination, which closed on January 1, 2015.  To the extent it is then determined it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, a significant portion of the valuation allowance related to domestic deferred tax assets may be released.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to U.K. tax losses was increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as manufacturing operations at the U.K manufacturing facility were in process of being phased out and U.K tax loss carryovers can only be used to offset income generated by the same trade or business from which they arose.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have funded our operations to date through sales of equity and debt securities, bank borrowings, capital equipment leases and revenue from product sales. Through public and Rule 144A securities offerings, we have raised approximately $1,053.3 million, net of offering expenses. As of December 27, 2014, we had working capital of approximately $535.5 million, including $118.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $274.9 million at December 28, 2013, including $117.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $296.7 million as of December 27, 2014. This balance includes approximately $55.0 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds held by our foreign subsidiaries are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, under our current plans, we expect to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and do not expect to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.

RFMD's board of directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our outstanding common stock, exclusive of related fees, commissions or other expenses, from time to time during a period commencing on January 28, 2011 and expiring on January 31, 2015. This share repurchase program authorized RFMD to repurchase shares through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Between January 25, 2011 and December 28, 2013, RFMD repurchased approximately $62.6 million of its common stock under this program. No repurchases of RFMD common stock were made during the nine-month period ended December 27, 2014. As of January 1, 2015, Qorvo does not have a share repurchase program in place.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we commenced construction on a new manufacturing facility in China to significantly expand our internal assembly and test capabilities. Costs related to this new facility are expected to be funded with cash flows from operations.

The Company expects to incur transaction fees related to the Business Combination of approximately $54.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. These fees will be paid from the combined cash and cash equivalents balance of RFMD and TriQuint, which approximated $342.4 million as of December 27, 2014.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities for the nine months ended December 27, 2014 generated cash of $167.1 million, compared to $99.1 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2013. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to improved profitability resulting from manufacturing- and sourcing-related cost reductions as well as higher revenue.

23

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 27, 2014 was $142.2 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $67.8 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2013. This change was primarily due to an increase in net purchases of available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended December 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended December 28, 2013, offset by lower capital expenditures and increased proceeds from the sale of equipment for the nine months ended December 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended December 28, 2013.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $78.5 million for the nine months ended December 27, 2014, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $16.4 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2013. Net cash used in financing activities was higher during the nine months ended December 27, 2014 as we paid the $87.5 million remaining principal balance of the 2014 Notes. During the nine months ended December 28, 2013, we repurchased 2.5 million shares of RFMD common stock at an average price of $5.03 on the open market.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Convertible Debt The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid with cash on hand.

Credit AgreementOn March 19, 2013, we entered into a four-year senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and a lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. We may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries. On August 15, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to revise the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" and a provision regarding restricted payments. On October 15, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended in connection with the Business Combination (see Note 9) to reflect the lenders’ consent to the Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). On December 26, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to reflect the lenders' consent to increase the threshold for the Company's investments in foreign subsidiaries to $35.0 million. We currently have no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which we must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default, including financial covenants. We are in compliance with these covenants as of December 27, 2014.

Wafer Supply Agreement During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we entered into an asset transfer agreement with IQE, Inc. ("IQE"), a global supplier of advanced semiconductor wafer products and wafer services, under which we transferred our molecular beam epitaxy ("MBE") wafer growth operations (located in Greensboro, North Carolina) to IQE. The transaction with IQE was intended to lower our manufacturing costs, strengthen our metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) supply chain and provide us with access to newly developed wafer starting process technologies. The assets transferred to IQE included our leasehold interest in the real property, building and improvements used for the facility and machinery and equipment located in the facility. Approximately 70 employees at our MBE facility became employees of IQE as part of the transaction. In conjunction with the asset transfer agreement, we entered into a wafer supply agreement with IQE under which IQE will supply us with competitively priced MBE and MOCVD wafer starting materials through March 31, 2016. As of December 27, 2014, we have fulfilled our minimum purchase commitment related to the wafer supply agreement.

Capital Commitments At December 27, 2014, we had short-term capital commitments of approximately $22.6 million.

Future Sources of Funding Our future capital requirements may differ materially from those currently anticipated and will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, market acceptance of our products, volume pricing concessions, capital improvements, demand for our products, technological advances and our relationships with suppliers and customers. Based on current and projected levels of cash flow from operations, coupled with our existing cash and cash equivalents, and our revolving credit facility, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet both our short-term and long-term cash requirements. However, if there is a significant decrease in demand for our products, or in the event that growth is faster than we had anticipated, operating cash flows may be insufficient to meet our needs. If existing resources and cash from operations are not sufficient to meet our future requirements or if we perceive conditions to be favorable, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot be sure that any additional equity or debt financing will not be dilutive to holders of our common

24

stock. Further, we cannot be sure that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Legal We are involved in litigation and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when finally concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Taxes We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and foreign tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenues and expenses in different jurisdictions. Additionally, the amount of taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are subject to audits by tax authorities. While we endeavor to comply with all applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law than we do or that we will comply in all respects with applicable tax laws, which could result in additional taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from tax audits will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period during which the review is conducted.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in RFMD's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in RFMD's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in RFMD's Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On January 25, 2011, RFMD announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of RFMD's outstanding common stock, exclusive of related fees, commissions or other expenses, from time to time during a period commencing on January 28, 2011 and expiring on January 27, 2013. On January 31, 2013, our board of directors authorized an extension of our 2011 share repurchase program to repurchase up to $200 million of RFMD's outstanding common stock through January 31, 2015. This share repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase shares through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Because of RFMD's incorporation in North Carolina, which does not recognize treasury shares, the repurchased shares were canceled at the time of repurchase. Shares repurchased were deemed authorized but unissued shares of RFMD common stock. Between January 25, 2011 and December 28, 2013, RFMD repurchased approximately $62.6 million of its common stock under this program. No repurchases of RFMD common stock were made during the nine-month period ended December 27, 2014. As of January 1, 2015, Qorvo does not have a share repurchase program in place.

QORVO, INC.

2007 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(As Assumed and Amended and Restated by Qorvo, Inc. Effective January 1, 2015)

(Formerly, the TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan)

The following constitute the provisions of the Qorvo, Inc. 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as Assumed and Amended and Restated by Qorvo, Inc. Effective January 1, 2015) (formerly, the TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan).

1.Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Companies with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock at a discount. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code, although the Company makes no undertaking or representation to maintain such qualification. The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, will be construed so as to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, the Plan authorizes the purchase of Common Stock under a Non-423(b) Component, pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve tax, securities law or other objectives, provided, however, that U.S. Eligible Employees will not be permitted to purchase Stock under the Non-423(b) Component.

2.Definitions.

(a)“Affiliate” means any entity, other than a Subsidiary, in which the Company has an equity or other ownership interest.

(b)“Administrator” means the Board or any Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan pursuant to Section 14.

(c)“Applicable Laws” means the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards under U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where awards are, or will be, granted under the Plan.

(d)“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, on and after the Merger Effective Date, references to the “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of Qorvo, Inc.

(e)“Change in Control” means the first to occur of any of the following:

(i)The date any person shall have become the beneficial owner of, or shall have obtained voting control over, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock; or

(ii)The date of the consummation of (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company (or similar transaction involving the Company), in which the holders of the Common Stock immediately prior to the transaction have voting control over less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction, or (B) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company; or

(iii)The date there shall have been a change in a majority of the Board within a 12-month period unless the nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders of each new director was approved by the vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board (or a committee of the Board, if nominations are approved by a Board committee rather than the Board) then still in office who were in office at the beginning of the 12-month period.

(For purposes herein, the term “person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, group, association or other “person”, as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company, its affiliates or any employee benefit plan(s) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any affiliate thereof, and the term “beneficial owner” shall have the meaning given the term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.)

For the purposes of clarity, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its principal purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, create a holding company that would be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction or is another transaction of other similar effect.

The Administrator shall have full and final authority, in its discretion, to determine whether a Change in Control of the Company has occurred, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto.

(f)“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code herein will be a reference to any successor or amended section of the Code.

(g)“Code Section 423(b) Component” shall mean an employee stock purchase plan which is designed to meet the requirements set forth in Section 423(b) of the Code. The provisions of the Code Section 423(b) Component shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with Section 423(b) of the Code.

(h)“Committee” means a committee of the Board appointed in accordance with Section 14 hereof. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, on and after the Merger Effective Date, references to the “Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board of Qorvo, Inc. or other committee of the Board which may be appointed to administer the Plan.

(i)“Common Stock” means (i) prior to the Merger Effective Date, the common stock of TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., $.001 par value (also referred to herein as the “TriQuint Common Stock”), and (ii) on and after the Merger Effective Date, the Common Stock of Qorvo, Inc., $.0001 par value, or any successor securities thereto (also referred to herein as the “Qorvo Common Stock”). Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, on and after the Merger Effective

2

Date, references in the Plan to a number of shares of TriQuint Common Stock will be deemed to refer instead to that number of shares of Qorvo Common Stock as adjusted by the TriQuint Exchange Ratio.

(j)“Company” means (unless the context otherwise requires, as determined by the Administrator) (i) prior to the Merger Effective Date, TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (also referred to herein as “TriQuint”), and (ii) on and after the Merger Effective Date, Qorvo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (also referred to herein as “Qorvo”), the surviving parent corporation in the Merger, or any successor thereto.

(k)“Compensation” means an Employee’s base salary or regular rate of compensation (excluding commissions, bonuses, overtime, employee benefits and similar elements of compensation). The Administrator has the exclusive discretion to determine what constitutes Compensation for purposes of the Plan.

(l)“Designated Company” means any Affiliate or Subsidiary that has been designated by the Administrator from time to time in its sole discretion as eligible to participate in the Plan, including, without limitation, on and after the Merger Effective Date, RFMD and TriQuint. For purposes of the Code Section 423(b) Component, only the Company and its Subsidiaries may be Designated Companies, provided, however, that at any given time, a Subsidiary that is a Designated Company under the Code Section 423(b) Component shall not be a Designated Company under the Non-423(b) Component.

(m)“Director” means a member of the Board.

(n)“Eligible Employee” means any individual who is a common law employee of an Employer and is customarily employed for at least twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in any calendar year by the Employer, provided, however, that employees of a Designated Company may be Eligible Employees even if their customary employment is less than five (5) months per calendar year and/or twenty (20) hours per week, to the extent required by Applicable Laws and to the extent participation of such employees complies with the requirements of Section 423(b) of the Code. For purposes of the Plan, the employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence that the Employer approves or that is protected accordingly under Applicable Laws. Where the period of leave exceeds ninety (90) days and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Administrator, in its discretion, from time to time may, prior to an Offering Date for all options to be granted on such Offering Date, determine that the definition of Eligible Employee will or will not include an individual if he or she: (i) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since his or her last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (ii) customarily works not more than twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (iii) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or (iv) is a highly compensated employee under Section 414(q) of the Code with compensation above a certain level or who is an officer subject to the disclosure

(ii)If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value will be the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the date of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or

(b)Subsequent Offering Periods. Any individual who is an Eligible Employee on a given Offering Date of any future Offering Period will be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the requirements of Section 5.

(c)Limitations.

4.Offering Periods. The Plan will be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on May 1 and November 1 each year, or on such other date as the Administrator will determine. The Administrator will have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

5.Participation.

(a)First Offering Period. An Eligible Employee who has become a participant in the first Offering Period under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) will be entitled to continue his or her participation in such Offering Period only if he or she submits to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee) a properly completed subscription agreement authorizing contributions to the Plan in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose or following an electronic or other enrollment procedure prescribed by the Administrator (i) no earlier than the effective date of the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of

6

Common Stock issuable under the Plan, which was June 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) and (ii) no later than ten (10) business days from the Effective Date or such other period of time as the Administrator may determine (the “Enrollment Window”). A participant’s failure to submit the subscription agreement during the Enrollment Window pursuant to this Section 5(a) will result in the automatic termination of his or her participation in the first Offering Period under the Plan.

(b)Subsequent Offering Periods. An Eligible Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b) may become a participant by (i) submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee), on or before a date prescribed by the Administrator prior to an applicable Offering Date, a properly completed subscription agreement authorizing contributions to the Plan in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other enrollment procedure prescribed by the Administrator.

6.Payroll Deductions/Contributions.

(a)At the time a participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5, he or she will elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period; provided, however, that should a pay day occur on an Exercise Date, a participant will have the payroll deductions made on such day applied to his or her account under the subsequent Offering Period. To the extent required by Applicable Laws, the Administrator, in its discretion, may decide that a participant may contribute to the Plan by means other than payroll deductions, provided that allowing participants to contribute to the Plan by other means complies with the requirements of Section 423(b) of the Code. A participant’s subscription agreement will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(b)Payroll deductions or other contributions authorized by a participant will commence on the first pay day following the Offering Date and will end on the last pay day prior to the Exercise Date of such Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof; provided, however, that for the first Offering Period under the Plan, payroll deductions or other contributions will commence on the first pay day on or following the Enrollment Window.

(c)All payroll deductions or other contributions made for a participant will be credited to his or her account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account, unless required by Applicable Laws.

(d)A participant may withdraw, terminate or discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10, but no other change can be made effective during an Offering Period and, specifically, a participant may not alter the amount of his or her payroll deductions or other contributions for that Offering Period. A participant may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions or other contributions for any subsequent Offering Period by (i) properly completing and submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee), on or before a date prescribed by the Administrator prior to the start of the next Offering Period, a new subscription agreement authorizing the change in payroll deduction or contribution rate in the form provided by

7

the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other procedure prescribed by the Administrator. If a participant has not followed such procedures to change the rate of payroll deductions or other contributions, the rate of his or her payroll deductions or contributions will continue at the originally elected rate throughout the Offering Period and future Offering Periods (unless terminated as provided in Section 10).

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c), or if the Administrator reasonably anticipates a participant has contributed a sufficient amount to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of the applicable limit for such Offering Period (as set forth in Section 7 or as established by the Administrator), a participant’s payroll deductions or other contributions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during an Offering Period. Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c) hereof, or for participants who have had their contributions reduced due to the applicable limits on the maximum number of shares that may be purchased in any Offering Period, payroll deductions or other contributions will recommence at the rate originally elected by the participant effective as of the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

(f)At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, or at the time of any other relevant taxable event, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s or Employer’s federal, state, or any other tax liability payable to any authority, national insurance, social security or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the relevant taxable event. At any time, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company or the Employer to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Employer any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.

7.Grant of Option. On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Eligible Employee’s contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Eligible Employee’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event will an Eligible Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period (i) ending prior to the Merger Effective Date, more than twenty thousand (20,000) shares of Common Stock and (ii) commencing after the Merger Effective Date, more than three thousand (3,000) shares of the Common Stock, in each case subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19, and provided further that such purchase will be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(c) and 13. The Eligible Employee may accept the grant of such option (i) with respect to the first Offering Period under the Plan, by submitting a properly completed subscription agreement in accordance with the requirements of Section 5(a) on or before the last day of the Enrollment Window, and (ii) with respect to any future Offering Period under the Plan, by electing to participate in the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 5(b). The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion,

8

the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a participant may purchase during each Offering Period. Exercise of the option will occur as provided in Section 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The option will expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

8.Exercise of Option.

(a)Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10, his or her option for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option will be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated contributions in his or her account. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased; any contributions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share will be returned to the participant (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required under Applicable Laws) as soon as administratively practicable. Any other funds left over in a participant’s account after the Exercise Date will be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

(b)Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, if the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, subject in each case to the 400,000 share limitation per Offering Period as set forth in Section 13(a) below, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Offering Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and either (x) continue all Offering Periods then in effect or (y) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Offering Date.

9.Delivery. As soon as administratively practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the Administrator. The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the Company or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Company may require that shares be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying or other dispositions of such shares. No participant will have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until such shares have been purchased and delivered to the participant as provided in this Section 9.

9

10.Withdrawal.

(a)Pursuant to procedures established by the Administrator, a participant may withdraw all but not less than all the contributions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by (i) submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee) a written notice of withdrawal in the form prescribed by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal procedure prescribed by the Administrator. All of the participant’s contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to such participant as promptly as practicable after the effective date of his or her withdrawal and such participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions or other contributions for the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions or other contributions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.

(b)A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.

11.Termination of Employment. Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the contributions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15, and such participant’s option will be automatically terminated.

12.Interest. No interest will accrue on the contributions of a participant in the Plan, unless required by Applicable Laws.

13.Stock.

(a)Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which will be made available for sale under the Plan will be 6,242,871 shares (representing 5,388,084 shares of TriQuint Common Stock available under the Plan immediately prior to the Merger Effective Date, as adjusted by the TriQuint Exchange Ratio, plus 854,787 shares of the Common Stock, no par value per share, of RFMD available under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of RF Micro Devices, Inc., as amended, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Date, as adjusted by the RFMD Exchange Ratio). Any or all of such shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Code Section 423(b) Component or the Non-423(b) Component. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased during any single Offering Period shall not exceed four hundred thousand (400,000) shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 19 herein).

(b)Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), a participant will

10

only have the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares, and no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to such shares.

(c)Shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse.

14.Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee will be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. The Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, the Administrator may adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of Applicable Laws and procedures for jurisdictions outside of the United States, and may delegate authority to implement any of the foregoing to any specified officer of the Company in accordance with Applicable Laws and subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Administrator. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans regarding the duration and timing of Offering Periods and Purchase Periods, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions, making of contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements, and may delegate authority to implement any of the foregoing to any specified officer of the Company in accordance with Applicable Laws and subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Administrator.

15.Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, a participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, a participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent will be required for such designation to be effective.

(b)Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by notice in a form determined by the Administrator. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company will deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant,

11

or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

(c)All beneficiary designations under this Section 15 will be made in such form and manner as the Administrator may prescribe from time to time.

16.Transferability. Neither contributions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10.

17.Use of Funds. The Company may use all contributions received or held by it under the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such contributions, unless required by Applicable Laws. Until shares of Common Stock are issued, participants will only have the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares.

18.Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Eligible Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of contributions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

19.Adjustments, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Change in Control.

(a)Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Common Stock which may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of Section 7.

(b)Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator will notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option will be exercised

12

automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10.

(c)Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, unless the Administrator determines otherwise, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Offering Period with respect to which such option relates will be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “CICNew Exercise Date”) and will end on the CIC New Exercise Date. The CIC New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed merger or Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each participant in writing prior to the CIC New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the CIC New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the CIC New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10.

20.Amendment or Termination.

(a)The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the next Exercise Date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19). If the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to participants’ accounts which have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to the participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required under Applicable Laws) as soon as administratively practicable.

(b)Without stockholder consent and without limiting Section 20(a), the Administrator will be entitled to change the Offering Periods, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll deductions or contributions in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

(c)In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify, amend or terminate the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:

13

(i)amending the Plan to conform with the safe harbor definition under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time;

(ii)altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

(iii)shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Board action;

(iv)reducing the maximum percentage of Compensation a participant may elect to set aside as payroll deductions; and

(v)reducing the maximum number of Shares a participant may purchase during any Offering Period or Purchase Period.

Such modifications or amendments will not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Plan participants.

21.Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

22.Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares of Common Stock will not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto will comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

23.Term of Plan. The Effective Date of the Plan was June 1, 2007. The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2015 in connection with the assumption of the Plan by Qorvo as a result of the Merger. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated under Section 20.

24.Stockholder Approval. The Plan was subject to and received the approval of the stockholders of TriQuint within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan was adopted by the

14

Board. Subsequent stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

25.Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period. To the extent determined by the Administrator and permitted by Applicable Laws, if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date of such Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering Period will be automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period.

26.Severability. If any particular provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall not affect the other provisions of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision had been omitted.

27.Section 409A. The Code Section 423(b) Component is exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code. The Non-423(b) Component is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In the case of a participant who would otherwise be subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent an option to purchase Common Stock or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the option to purchase Common Stock shall be granted, paid, exercised, settled or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including the final regulations and other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a participant or any other party if the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto.

28.Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective January 1, 2015, the Company effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4.C, all share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. See Note 9 for a further discussion of the Business Combination.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013		December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share — net income available to common shareholders	$	87,863	$	6,235	$	189,821	$	13,688
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net income per share — weighted average shares	72,723		70,610		72,167		70,437
Effect of dilutive securities:
Share-based awards	1,731		1,370		1,916		1,451
Denominator for diluted net income per share — adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	74,454		71,980		74,083		71,888
Basic net income per share	$	1.21	$	0.09	$	2.63	$	0.19
Diluted net income per share	$	1.18	$	0.09	$	2.56	$	0.19

In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended December 27, 2014, no potential shares were excluded from the calculation. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the nine months ended December 27, 2014, outstanding stock options to purchase less than 0.1 million shares were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, approximately 1.9 million shares and 2.0 million shares, respectively, were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume the conversion of the Company’s $175 million initial aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes (the "2014 Notes"). The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid with cash on hand (see Note 4).

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On February 22, 2014, RF Micro Devices, Inc. ("RFMD") and TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. ("TriQuint") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as subsequently amended on July 15, 2014, the "Merger Agreement") providing for the business combination of RFMD and TriQuint ("Business Combination") under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc. (formerly named Rocky Holding, Inc.) ("Qorvo"). The shareholders of both RFMD and TriQuint approved the Merger Agreement at each company's special meeting of shareholders on September 5, 2014. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, all necessary regulatory approvals were received to complete the Business Combination. The Business Combination closing was effective on January 1, 2015 (fourth quarter of fiscal 2015). For financial reporting and accounting purposes, RFMD was the acquirer of TriQuint. The results presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") reflect those of RFMD prior to the completion of the merger with TriQuint on January 1, 2015. See Note 9 for a further discussion of the Business Combination. As used herein, all references to "the Company," "we," "us" and "our" prior to January 1, 2015 refer to RFMD and all such references on or after January 1, 2015 refer to Qorvo.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with RFMD’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in RFMD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2014.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2015 is a 52-week year and fiscal 2014 was a 52-week year.

Income Tax Policy

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013

The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its full or partial reversal. The amount of the deferred tax assets actually realized could vary depending upon the amount of taxable income the Company is able to generate in the various taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Fair Value Measurements Policy

On a quarterly basis, the Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities, which are comprised of U.S. government/agency securities, auction rate securities (ARS), equity securities, and money market funds. Marketable securities are reported at fair value in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

Operating Segment Policy

As of December 27, 2014, the Company’s reportable segments are CPG and MPG. As of December 27, 2014, CSG did not meet the quantitative threshold for an individually reportable segment under ASC 280-10-50-12 and is therefore included in the “Other operating segment” line in the following tables. CPG and MPG are separate reportable segments based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (or CODM), and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment primarily based on non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenue.

The estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities was based on the prevailing market values on December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014. We determine the cost of an investment sold based on the specific identification method.

There were no gross realized gains and losses recognized on available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014. The gross realized gains and losses recognized on available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013 were insignificant.

Available-for-sale investments in a continuous unrealized loss position for fewer than 12 months as of December 27, 2014, consisted of U.S. government/agency securities with gross unrealized losses of less than $0.1 million and an aggregate fair value of approximately $58.0 million. No available-for-sale investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater as of December 27, 2014. No available-for-sale investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 29, 2014.

The amortized cost of available-for-sale investments in debt securities with contractual maturities is as follows (in thousands):

	December 27, 2014				March 29, 2014
	Cost		Estimated Fair Value		Cost		Estimated Fair Value
Due in less than one year	$	194,799	$	194,792	$	181,864	$	181,865
Due after ten years	2,150		2,150		2,150		2,150
Total investments in debt securities	$	196,949	$	196,942	$	184,014	$	184,015

Fair Value Measurements

On a quarterly basis, the Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities, which are comprised of U.S. government/agency securities, auction rate securities (ARS), equity securities, and money market funds. Marketable securities are reported at fair value in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis was determined using the following levels of inputs as of December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014 (in thousands):

	Total		Quoted Prices In Active Markets For Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
December 27, 2014
U.S. government/agency securities	$	172,531	$	172,531	$	—
Auction rate securities	2,150		—		2,150
Equity securities	6,079		6,079		—
Money market funds	22,261		22,261		—
	$	203,021	$	200,871	$	2,150
March 29, 2014
U.S. government/agency securities	$	133,065	$	133,065	$	—
Auction rate securities	2,150		—		2,150
Equity securities	—		—		—
Money market funds	48,800		48,800		—
	$	184,015	$	181,865	$	2,150

ARS are debt instruments with interest rates that reset through periodic short-term auctions. The Company’s Level 2 ARS are valued at par based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As of December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014, the Company did not have any Level 3 securities.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company's non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, property and equipment, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a non-monetary exchange are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment, and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, the Company did not have any material non-financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $1.7 million impairment of certain property and equipment as a result of the phase out of manufacturing and the then-pending sale of its U.K. manufacturing facility. As of June 29, 2013, the fair value of these impaired assets was estimated to be $0.8 million using a significant Level 3 unobservable input (market valuation approach). The market valuation approach uses prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as the Company's experience. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold its U.K. manufacturing facility, which resulted in a loss on these impaired assets of $0.6 million.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013.

The Company’s income tax expense was $15.6 million and $34.9 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, respectively, and $8.2 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.1% and 15.5% for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, respectively, and 56.7% and 45.3% for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for both the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and the third quarter of fiscal 2014 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, adjustments to the valuation allowance limiting the recognition of the benefit of domestic deferred tax assets, the domestic production activity deduction (for fiscal 2015 only), and adjustments to reduce the carrying value of United Kingdom (U.K.) deferred tax assets (for fiscal 2014 only).

Deferred Taxes

The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets has decreased in fiscal 2015 by $31.1 million from the $143.3 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2014, with the change primarily arising from a decrease in domestic deferred tax assets as a result of generating current year domestic taxable income. The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its full or partial reversal. The amount of the deferred tax assets actually realized could vary depending upon the amount of taxable income the Company is able to generate in the various taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company will continue to evaluate the available positive and negative evidence in future periods, including the level of profitability in the U.S. during the remainder of fiscal 2015 and the impact of the Business Combination, which closed on January 1, 2015.  To the extent it is then determined it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, a significant portion of the valuation allowance related to domestic deferred tax assets may be released.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to U.K. tax losses was increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as manufacturing operations at the U.K. manufacturing facility were in process of being phased out and U.K. tax loss carryovers can only be used to offset income generated by the same trade or business from which they arose.

The Company has outstanding domestic federal and state tax net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry-forwards that began or will begin to expire in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2015, respectively, if unused. The use of the NOLs that were acquired in prior year acquisitions is subject to certain annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state tax provisions.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased from $39.4 million as of the end of fiscal 2014 to $40.4 million as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015, with the change arising from a $0.9 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to the current fiscal year and a $0.1 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to prior fiscal years.

Merger Agreement

Merger Agreement [Abstract]

MERGER AGREEMENT

MERGER AGREEMENT

Effective January 1, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, RFMD and TriQuint completed a strategic combination of their respective businesses through the “merger of equals” Business Combination.

As a result of the Business Combination, RFMD and TriQuint will combine complementary product portfolios, featuring power amplifiers (PAs), power management integrated circuits (PMICs), antenna control solutions, switch-based products and premium filters, to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance mobile solutions. It is expected that the Business Combination will strengthen the combined company’s service to the infrastructure and defense/aerospace industries and enable advanced gallium nitride (GaN) solutions for additional markets and applications. It is expected that customers also will benefit from new scale advantages in manufacturing and research and development, as well as an aggressive roadmap of new products and technologies.

The parties effected the Business Combination by (i) merging a newly-formed direct subsidiary of Qorvo with and into TriQuint, with TriQuint surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Qorvo (such merger, the “TriQuint Merger”); and (ii) merging a newly-formed direct subsidiary of Qorvo with and into RFMD, with RFMD surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Qorvo (the “RFMD Merger,” and, together with the TriQuint Merger, the “Mergers”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the RFMD Merger (the “RFMD Merger Effective Time”), by virtue of the RFMD Merger and without any action on the part of any shareholder, each share of common stock of RFMD, no par value per share (“RFMD Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.25 of a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Qorvo (“Qorvo Common Stock”) (the exchange ratio of one share of RFMD Common Stock for 0.25 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock, the “RFMD Conversion Ratio”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the RFMD Merger Effective Time, all RFMD equity awards as of immediately prior to the RFMD Merger Effective Time were assumed by Qorvo, except that such equity awards as were exercisable for or may be settled in shares of RFMD Common Stock became exercisable for or may be settled in shares of Qorvo Common Stock based on the RFMD Conversion Ratio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the TriQuint Merger (the “TriQuint Merger Effective Time”), by virtue of the TriQuint Merger and without any action on the part of any stockholder, each share of common stock of TriQuint, $0.001 par value per share (“TriQuint Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.4187 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock (the exchange ratio of one share of TriQuint Common Stock for 0.4187 of a share of Qorvo Common Stock, the “TriQuint Conversion Ratio” and, together with the RFMD Conversion Ratio, the “Conversion Ratios”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the TriQuint Merger Effective Time, all TriQuint equity awards as of immediately prior to the TriQuint Merger Effective Time were assumed by Qorvo, except that such equity awards as were exercisable for or may be settled in shares of TriQuint Common Stock became exercisable for or may be settled in shares of Qorvo Common Stock based on the TriQuint Conversion Ratio.

The RFMD Merger Effective Time occurred immediately after the TriQuint Merger Effective Time. At the closing of the transaction, the effect of the application of the Conversion Ratios constituted a one-for-four reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of RFMD Common Stock and TriQuint Common Stock. As discussed in Note 2, all share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4.C.

The RFMD Common Stock and the TriQuint Common Stock were voluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market in connection with the Business Combination. The Qorvo Common Stock is now trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “QRVO”.

Based on an evaluation of the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” RFMD was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under FASB ASC Topic 805, RFMD is treated as having acquired TriQuint in an all-stock transaction for an estimated total purchase price of approximately $5,200.0 million. The calculation of the total purchase price is based on the outstanding shares of TriQuint as of the acquisition date multiplied by the exchange ratio of 1.6749, and the resulting shares are then adjusted by the one-for-four reverse stock split and multiplied by the Qorvo split-adjusted share price of $66.36 on the date of acquisition. The purchase price also includes the fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to service prior to the closing of the Business Combination, which is estimated based on the ratio of the service period rendered as of the acquisition date to the total service period. The calculation of the estimated purchase price is subject to change as the Company is in process of completing the final analysis of certain components of the purchase price.

The total estimated purchase price will be allocated to TriQuint's net assets and liabilities of approximately $1,100.0 million and the remaining portion of the purchase price will be allocated to intangible assets consisting primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, purchase order backlog, trade name and in-process research and development. Because the Business Combination closed on January 1, 2015, the Company has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the estimates of the fair value of TriQuint’s assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be allocated to goodwill, which the Company expects will be significant.

The following unaudited pro forma revenue for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, assumes that the acquisition of TriQuint, which closed on January 1, 2015, was completed as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013		December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013
Revenue	$	741,402	$	555,482	$	1,920,849	$	1,598,324

Pro forma revenue includes adjustments for the purchases by RFMD of various products from TriQuint. The pro forma revenue has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the revenue that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually taken place as of March 31, 2013. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect the actual revenue that might have been achieved by Qorvo.

Pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share have not been presented as we are still completing the valuation studies necessary to arrive at these financial measures. We expect the valuation may impact intangible amortization expense, depreciation expense, share-based compensation expense, and income tax expense.

During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $0.7 million and $4.5 million and integration costs of $6.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively, associated with the Business Combination. The acquisition and integration costs are being expensed as incurred and are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Other operating expense."

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The entity will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s operating segments as of December 27, 2014 are its Cellular Products Group (CPG), Multi-Market Products Group (MPG) and Compound Semiconductor Group (CSG).

CPG is a leading global supplier of cellular radio frequency (RF) solutions which perform various functions in the cellular front end section.  The cellular front end section is located between the transceiver and the antenna.  These RF solutions include power amplifier (PA) modules, transmit modules, PA duplexer modules, antenna control solutions, antenna switch modules, switch filter modules, switch duplexer modules and RF power management solutions.  CPG supplies its broad portfolio of cellular RF solutions into a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones, handsets, notebook computers, and tablets.

MPG is a leading global supplier of a broad array of RF solutions, such as PAs, low noise amplifiers, variable gain amplifiers, high power gallium nitride transistors, attenuators, mixers, modulators, switches, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), phase locked loop modules, circulators, isolators, multi-chip modules, front end modules, and a range of military and space components (amplifiers, mixers, VCOs and power dividers). Major communications applications include mobile wireless infrastructure, (second generation (2G), third generation (3G) and fourth generation (4G)), point-to-point and microwave radios, WiFi (infrastructure and mobile devices), and cable television (CATV) wireline infrastructure. Industrial applications include Smart Energy/Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), private mobile radio, and test and measurement equipment. Aerospace and defense applications include military communications, radar and electronic warfare, as well as space communications.

CSG is a business group established to leverage the Company’s compound semiconductor technologies and related expertise in RF and non-RF end markets and applications.

As of December 27, 2014, the Company’s reportable segments are CPG and MPG. As of December 27, 2014, CSG did not meet the quantitative threshold for an individually reportable segment under ASC 280-10-50-12 and is therefore included in the “Other operating segment” line in the following tables. CPG and MPG are separate reportable segments based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (or CODM), and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment primarily based on non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenue.

The “All other” category includes operating expenses such as share-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition and integration related costs, intellectual property rights (IPR) litigation costs, restructuring and disposal costs, certain consulting costs, and other miscellaneous corporate overhead expenses that the Company does not allocate to its reportable segments because these expenses are not included in the segment operating performance measures evaluated by the Company’s CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company’s operating segments do not record inter-company revenue. The Company does not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Except as discussed above regarding the “All other” category, the Company’s accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

The following tables present details of the Company’s reportable segments and a reconciliation of the “All other” category (in thousands):

DEBT

DEBT

Convertible Debt

The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid with cash on hand.

Credit Agreement

In March 2013, the Company and certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) entered into a four-year senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and a lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. On August 15, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to revise the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" and a provision regarding restricted payments. On October 15, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended in connection with the Business Combination (see Note 9) to reflect the lenders’ consent to the Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). On December 26, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to reflect the lenders' consent to increase the threshold for the Company's investments in foreign subsidiaries to $35.0 million. The Company currently has no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement and is in compliance with the financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement as of December 27, 2014.
