Greetings,

This morning we announced that TriQuint and RFMD have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The combination will create a new leader in RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure, and aerospace/defense. We believe the combination will create new growth opportunities in three large global markets (mobile devices, network infrastructure, and aerospace/defense) with scale advantages, innovative new products, and a greatly improved operating model.

The new company will continue the long legacy of being a premier supplier of critical RF technologies to both the Domestic and International Defense markets. We will continue to partner with the leaders in the defense market to advance the state of the art, and support our strategic partners with market-leading products and services including wafer foundry, custom packaging and design.

The new company will have a shared leadership team. Ralph Quinsey, the current TriQuint CEO, will serve as Non-Executive Chairman and Bob Bruggeworth, the current RFMD CEO, will serve as Chief Executive Officer.

I am truly excited about the opportunities this combination brings to customers, employees and shareholders. The combined company brings together a world class set of capabilities and an RF market scale which customers can depend upon.

I plan to call your office today to address any questions, but please feel free to call me at any time.

Regards,

James Klein

Vice President
