This document contains “forward-looking statements,” as that term is

statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or
incorporated in this document could be deemed forward-looking
statements, particularly statements about the future financial

characterized by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,”

“anticipates” or by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions. All
forward-looking statements in this document are made based on our
current expectations, forecasts, estimates, and assumptions and involve
risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause results or
events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. These factors include, among other things: our revenue and
operating performance; economic conditions and markets (including
current financial conditions); risks related to our ability to meet our
assumptions regarding outlook for revenue and gross margin as a
percentage of revenue; effects of exchange rate fluctuations; the
cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; changes in demand for our
products; changes in inventories at our customers and distributors;
technological and product development risks; enforcement and protection
of our intellectual property rights and related risks; risks related to
the security of our information systems and secured network;
availability of raw materials, electricity, gas, water, and other supply
chain uncertainties; our ability to effectively shift production to
other facilities when required in order to maintain supply continuity
for our customers; variable demand and the aggressive pricing
environment for semiconductor products; our ability to successfully
manufacture in increasing volumes on a cost-effective basis and with
acceptable quality for our current products; risks associated with our
acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. and with
other acquisitions and dispositions, including our ability to realize
the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions and dispositions; risks
that acquisitions or dispositions may disrupt our current plans and
operations, the risk of unexpected costs, charges, or expenses resulting
from acquisitions or dispositions and difficulties arising from
integrating and consolidating acquired businesses, our timely filing of
financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) for acquired businesses, and our ability to accurately predict
the future financial performance of acquired businesses); competitor
actions, including the adverse impact of competitor product
announcements; pricing and gross profit pressures; loss of key customers
or distributors; order cancellations or reduced bookings; changes in
manufacturing yields; control of costs and expenses and realization of
cost savings and synergies from restructurings; significant litigation;
risks associated with decisions to expend cash reserves for various uses
in accordance with our capital allocation policy such as debt
prepayment, stock repurchases, or acquisitions rather than to retain
such cash for future needs; risks associated with our substantial
leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements that may be in
place from time to time; risks associated with our worldwide operations,
including changes in trade policies, foreign employment and labor
matters associated with unions and collective bargaining arrangements,
as well as man-made and/or natural disasters affecting our operations or
financial results; the threat or occurrence of international armed
conflict and terrorist activities both in the United States and
internationally; risks of changes in U.S. or international tax rates or
legislation, including the impact of the recent U.S. tax legislation;

corporate governance and disclosure standards; risks related to new
legal requirements; and risks involving environmental or other
governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future
results or events are described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in
