(1) Assumes conversion of the full amount of notes held by such holder at the current conversion price of $67.80 per share; such conversion price is subject to adjustment as described under “Description of Notes — Conversion of Notes.” The initial conversion price of $135.60 per share of common stock has been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one forward stock split effected by TriQuint as a stock dividend on July 11, 2000 to stockholders of record on June 19, 2000. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes may increase or decrease from time to time. Under the terms of the Indenture, fractional shares will not be issued upon conversion of the notes; cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares, if any.

(2) Computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act and based upon 130,257,185 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2001, treating as outstanding the number of shares of common stock shown as being issuable upon the assumed conversion by the named holder of the full amount of such holder’s notes but not assuming the conversion of the notes of any other holder. Investing in the securities offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of the prospectus.
