</B><P>On May 6, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) approved the grant and issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Plan of rights to purchase shares of restricted common stock as a retention device to more than 50 employees identified as key contributors.  Each such award has a ten-year term and is evidenced by a Notice of Grant.  The underlying stock is purchasable by the employee's execution of an attached Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company and payment of a purchase price of $0.001 per share.  These agreements provide the Company with a right of repurchase on the restricted stock at cost upon termination of the employee's employment for any reason, which repurchase right will lapse as to all such shares on the two-year anniversary of the grant date so long as the recipient remains employed by the Company through such date.  Included in these grants were rights to purchase 5,000, 7,000, 4,000, 7,000, 6,000, 6,000, and 3,000 shares, respectively, granted to the following executive officers of the Company: Gerald Hatley, Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, Norm Hilgendorf, Vice President, Business Development, Jacqueline Maidel, Vice President, Human Resources, Chris Menicou, Vice President, Quality/Reliability, John Pelose, Vice President and General Manager, Amplifier division, Tim Schamberger, Vice President and General Manager, Signal Source division, and Clay Simpson, Vice President and General Counsel.  </P>
