Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
     (a) On April 25, 2011, Conexant Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter of resignation from Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Deloitte’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 2, 2009 and October 1, 2010 do not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor are qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended October 2, 2009 and October 1, 2010 and in the subsequent interim period through April 25, 2011, there were (i) no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure between the Company and Deloitte, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports for such years and interim period, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period.
     In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures the Company is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) prior to the time the Form 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company requested that Deloitte furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of such letter, dated April 29, 2011, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
