Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 7, 2021, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), expired in connection with
the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement, dated April 22, 2021 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), between Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Buyer"), and Silicon Laboratories Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), pursuant to which Buyer has agreed to acquire certain assets,
rights, and properties, and assume certain liabilities, comprising the Company's
infrastructure and automotive business (the "Asset Purchase").
The expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act satisfies one of the
conditions to the closing of the Asset Purchase. The closing of the Asset
Purchase remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining
conditions to the closing of the Asset Purchase set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, including, among other things, the accuracy of representations and
warranties, the material performance of covenants, and no occurrence of a
material adverse effect.
