Approval of Fiscal Year 2022 Executive Incentive Plan

On December 15, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), approved the Fiscal Year 2022 Executive Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan establishes cash incentive awards that may be earned by senior management approved for participation in the Incentive Plan, including the named executive officers of the Company, based on the Company's achievement of certain corporate performance metrics on a semi-annual basis during the Company's 2022 fiscal year (the "Fiscal Year"). The Incentive Plan also establishes minimum performance metrics that must be achieved before any incentives are awarded under the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan's semi-annual corporate goals, which are approved in advance by the Compensation Committee, involve achievement of certain revenue and non-GAAP operating income metrics during each of the semi-annual performance periods, the first consisting of the first half of the Fiscal Year and the second consisting of the second half of the Fiscal Year. Under the Incentive Plan, the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer are each eligible to earn cash incentive awards equaling, in the aggregate, one-hundred and sixty percent (160%) and one-hundred percent (100%), respectively, of their base salaries for the Fiscal Year if the Company achieves its target performance metrics in both performance periods, with the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of two (2) times their target awards to the extent the Company exceeds its target performance metrics in both performance periods. The Company's Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, its Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, and its Senior Vice President, Human Resources (each a named executive officer of the Company within the meaning of the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) are each eligible to earn cash incentive awards equaling, in the aggregate, eighty percent (80%) of their base salaries for the Fiscal Year if the Company achieves its target performance metrics in both performance periods, with the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of two (2) times their target awards to the extent the Company exceeds its target performance metrics in both performance periods. Upon completion of the first six months of the Fiscal Year, the Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the Company's performance metrics for the first performance period were attained, review the CEO's recommended payouts under the Incentive Plan, and approve any awards made under the Incentive Plan. At that time, the Compensation Committee will also approve the performance metrics for the second performance period. Upon completion of the Fiscal Year, the Compensation Committee will complete the same approval process with respect to awards to be made for the second performance period. Payments with respect to the first performance period will be capped at 100% of the target level attributable to the applicable metric, with any amounts over the target level to be held back and paid after the end of the Fiscal Year provided that the Company meets its minimum performance threshold for the Fiscal Year. In addition, the Compensation Committee has discretion to approve the issuance of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash for all, or a part of, an award that is made under the Incentive Plan and to make other adjustments in extraordinary circumstances.
