Fairchild Semiconductor Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008

New Policy on Business Outlook Disclosure

Effective January 29, 2009 and until further notice, we are changing our policy on business outlook disclosure as follows. Financial information relating to any current quarter, including, for example, information about first quarter 2009 included in this press release, should be considered to be speaking as of the date of the press release or other announcement only. Following the date of the press release or other announcement, the information should be considered to be historical and not subject to update by the company. We undertake no obligation to update any such information, although we may choose to do so by press release, SEC filing or other public announcement. We are making this change to our policy because of the uncertainty created by the current economic environment. Consistent with this policy change, Fairchild Semiconductor representatives will no longer comment about the business outlook of the company’s financial results or expectations for the quarter in question.

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements:

Some of the paragraphs above, including the paragraph following the heading “Current Status of First Quarter Business,” contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s assumptions and expectations and involve risk and uncertainty. Other forward-looking statements may also be found in this news release. Forward-looking statements usually, but do not always contain forward-looking terminology such as “we believe,” “we expect,” or “we anticipate,” or refer to management’s expectations about Fairchild’s future performance. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Among these factors are the following: the current global economic situation, including the deteriorating demand environment generally and other changes in demand for our products; changes in inventories at our customers and distributors; technological and product development risks, including the risks of failing to maintain the right to use some technologies or failing to adequately protect our own intellectual property against misappropriation or infringement; availability of manufacturing capacity; the risk of production delays; availability of raw materials at competitive prices; competitors’ actions; loss of key customers, including but not limited to distributors; the inability to attract and retain key management and other employees; order cancellations or reduced bookings; changes in manufacturing yields or output; risks related to warranty and product liability claims; risks inherent in doing business internationally; changes in tax regulations or the migration of profits from low tax jurisdictions to higher tax jurisdictions; regulatory risks and significant litigation. These and other risk factors are discussed in the company’s quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available at the Investor Relations section of Fairchild Semiconductor’s web site at investor.fairchildsemi.com or the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
