Registration of Additional Securities
On May 7, 2013, the stockholders of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the "Registrant") approved an amendment to the Registrant's Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2005 LTIP"), which, among other things, increased by 10,800,000 shares the number of authorized shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.25 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable under the 2005 LTIP. As amended, the 2005 LTIP authorizes the issuance of not more than 55,888,366 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, which number consists of (a) 52,550,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 LTIP, (b) 846,714 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant's 1999 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1999 LTIP") that were available for grant under the 1999 LTIP as of April 26, 2009, and that have become issuable under the 2005 LTIP, (c) 538,677 shares of Common Stock that have become issuable under the 2005 LTIP as a result of awards granted under the 1999 LTIP that have expired or been terminated, surrendered or canceled between April 26, 2009, and June 15, 2013, and (d) up to an additional 1,952,975 shares of Common Stock that may become issuable under the 2005 LTIP as a result of awards granted under the 1999 LTIP that remain outstanding as of June 15, 2013, and that thereafter expire or are terminated, surrendered or canceled.
The Registrant previously registered an aggregate of 51,750,000 shares of Common Stock on registration statements on Form S-8, File No. 333-176282, File No. 333-131628, File No. 333-134375 and File No. 333-162960 (the "Prior Registration Statements"). This registration statement on Form S-8 is being filed to register an additional 4,138,366 shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2005 LTIP. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, except as otherwise set forth below, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated by reference herein to the extent not modified or superseded thereby or by any subsequently filed document that is incorporated by reference herein or therein.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.  The Registrant has included such a provision in Article Seventh of its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons
1
serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Article III, Section 14 of the Registrant's Second Amended and Restated By-laws provides that a director or officer of the Registrant:
•
shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in right of the Registrant) brought against such person by virtue of his or her position as a director or officer of the Registrant if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; and
•
shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in right of the Registrant brought against such person by virtue of his or her position as a director or officer of the Registrant if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, other than with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
In addition, to the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding such person is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred.  Expenses will be advanced to a director or officer at such person's request, provided that he or she undertakes to repay the amount received if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance which would indemnify its directors and officers against damages arising out of certain kinds of claims which might be made against them based on their negligent acts or omissions while acting in their capacity as such.
Item 8.  Exhibits.
The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
