Safe Harbor Statement

This communication contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the ability of the parties to consummate the proposed merger, satisfaction of closing conditions precedent to the consummation of the proposed merger, the ability of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (“Skyworks”) to successfully integrate AATI’s operations and employees, the ability to yield benefits for customers and employees, expected timing of closing the merger, the ability of the combined company to address AATI’s customer’s demands, expected growth of the analog market, the complementary nature of the two companies’ products, Skyworks’ revenue growth and other financial metrics, and such other risks as identified in AATI’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each as filed with the SEC, which contain and identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “should,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should also be considered to be forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, and are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove accurate.
