(e) APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR 2014 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN
    
On November 7, 2013, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Fiscal Year 2014 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 during the Company’s 2014 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 annual corporate goals, which are approved in advance by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, involve achievement of certain revenue and operating income metrics during the Fiscal Year.

Under the Incentive Plan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is eligible to earn a cash incentive award equaling one-hundred and fifty percent (150%) of his base salary for the Fiscal Year if the Company achieves its target performance metrics during the Fiscal Year, with the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of two (2) times his target award to the extent the Company exceeds its target performance metrics during the Fiscal Year. The Company’s Executive Vice President and General Manager, its Chief Financial Officer, and its Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations (each a Named Executive Officer of the Company within the meaning of the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) are eligible to earn cash incentive awards equaling eighty percent (80%), seventy-five percent (75%), and seventy percent (70%), respectively, of their base salaries for the Fiscal Year if the Company achieves its target performance metrics during the Fiscal Year, 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 during the Fiscal Year. Upon completion of the Fiscal Year, the Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the Company’s performance goals for the Fiscal Year were attained, and whether any awards should be made under the Incentive Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee has discretion to issue the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash for all, or a part of, an award that is made under the Incentive Plan.
