FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

QORVO ANNOUNCES PRICING OF OFFERING OF ADDITIONAL $130 MILLION OF 5.50% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2026

GREENSBORO, NC — August 14, 2018 — Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions that connect the world, today announced the pricing of its offering of an additional $130 million principal amount of its 5.50% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), at 101.000% of par value plus interest deemed to have accrued from July 16, 2018 to the closing date, bringing the total outstanding principal amount of the Notes to $630 million. The offering was upsized from a previously announced amount of $100 million. Qorvo expects to close the sale of the additional Notes on or about August 28, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The additional Notes will be issued to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Qorvo expects to use the net proceeds of the offering of additional Notes, together with cash on hand or borrowings under its credit facility, to finance its recently announced tender offer in respect of its 7.00% senior notes due 2025. The additional Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Qorvo and will be initially guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of Qorvo’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee Qorvo’s obligations under its existing credit facility.

The additional Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the additional Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
