Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to disclose in this Proxy Statement any failure to file these reports on a timely basis.

1. The amounts in this category represent potential bonus awards under our ICP for bonuses earned in fiscal 2009. For a detailed discussion of how each NEO’s bonus is calculated under our ICP, please see our Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Proxy Statement. Each NEO’s actual bonus payment earned under the ICP during fiscal 2009 is reflected in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table.

Table of Contents
2. The calculation under the Threshold column is based on a 50% threshold for each NEO’s business unit and a 50% threshold for the Company as a whole.
3. The calculation under the Target column is based on a 100% target for each NEO’s business unit and a 100% target for the Company as a whole. Actual performance in fiscal 2009 for the NEOs’ business units ranged between 35% and 87.5%. Actual performance in fiscal 2009 for the Company as a whole was 0%.
4. The calculation under this column is based on a maximum of 125% for each business unit and a maximum of 125% for the Company as a whole.
5. Fiscal year 2009 stock options were granted under the Company’s 1994 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Equity Plan. Each stock option grant expires seven years from the date of grant. Each grant discussed above vests 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and monthly thereafter over the remaining three years until fully vested at the end of four years.
6. For purposes of pricing under the Company’s stock option plans, the fair market value on the date of grant is defined as the closing price as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant.
7. These amounts represent the grant date fair value of the awards computed in accordance with FAS 123(R). For a detailed discussion of our grant date fair value calculation methodology, including assumptions and estimates inherent therein, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2009, filed with the SEC on May 20, 2009. Such discussion is found in Footnote 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 54.
8. Mr. Crowley joined the Company in October 2008, therefore his non-equity incentive award, if any, would be prorated as a percentage of a full-year award.
9. Mr. Hosein terminated his employment on June 13, 2008 and therefore was not eligible to receive a bonus payment in FY09.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) provides an overview of the Company’s executive compensation programs together with a description of the material factors underlying the decisions which resulted in the fiscal year 2009 (“FY09”) compensation provided to the Company’s Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). The NEOs for FY09 are as follows: Dr. Theodore L Tewksbury, III, President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Richard Crowley, Jr., Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Jimmy Lee, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales; Mr. Fred Zust, Vice President and General Manager, Communications Division; and Mr. Ram Iyer, Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Multimedia Division. The CD&A also provides compensation information for the Company’s former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Clyde R. Hosein, who resigned from the Company effective June 13, 2008, and for the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Brian White, Vice President, Finance, who replaced Mr. Hosein as Chief Financial Officer on a temporary basis until Mr. Hosein’s permanent replacement. Mr. Crowley, commenced his employment with the Company on October 20, 2008.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) develops the compensation philosophy and objectives for the Company as a whole, reviews and approves all compensation decisions related to our NEOs and senior executives and generally oversees our compensation programs. As members of our Board of Directors, the Committee receives regular updates on the Company’s business priorities, strategies and results. As a result, the Committee has frequent interaction with and open access to the NEOs. This gives them considerable opportunity to ask questions and assess the performance of the executives and the Company. The Committee for FY09 included the following independent, non-employee members of the Board of Directors: Dr. Smith, Dr. Suh, Mr. Schofield and Mr. Eggebrecht. Mr. Eggebrecht joined the Compensation Committee in October 2008.

Table of Contents

The Committee’s specific responsibilities include:

 

   

Reviewing, revising and approving an industry-specific Peer Group (as defined below) to facilitate appropriate comparisons for compensation purposes;

 

   

Reviewing and approving annually, at the beginning of each fiscal year, certain performance goals and objectives as they relate to the NEOs’ compensation for that year, based on the Company’s annual operating plan as approved by the Board;

 

   

Reviewing and recommending annually, at the beginning of each fiscal year, the individual elements of targeted compensation for the CEO for that year, including base salary, target incentive bonus, incentive plan structure and equity awards, and reporting such recommendations to the Board of Directors for final review and approval;

 

   

Evaluating annually, at the end of each fiscal year, the CEO’s performance related to the goals and objectives established by the Board at the beginning of the fiscal year, and recommending the CEO’s final compensation level based upon this evaluation to the Board for the Board’s final review and approval. In recommending the CEO’s final compensation to the Board, the Committee may also take into consideration other relevant information including the Company’s financial and stock price performance, the degree to which the CEO has implemented strategic objectives for the Company, Peer Group compensation and other similar factors;

 

   

Reviewing and assessing the CEO’s recommendations with respect to the individual elements of targeted compensation for the other NEOs. The Committee has final review and approval over each NEO’s compensation targets and each NEO’s final compensation;

 

   

Reviewing, along with the CEO, matters relating to management succession, including compensation-related issues and exercising final approval over such issues;

 

   

Reviewing and approving any proposed employment agreements, severance agreements, change in control agreements, and any special supplemental benefits and/or perquisites applicable to the NEOs; and

 

   

Before the beginning of the fiscal year, reviewing and authorizing the total number of options and/or shares which may be granted to the NEOs and all other employees during the fiscal year. The Committee also reviews and approves any changes to the Company’s equity policies and plans.

In carrying out the foregoing responsibilities, the Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to engage outside independent advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The objectives of the Company’s compensation programs are to provide competitive compensation opportunities that are designed to reward, motivate, attract and retain top talent. Our compensation programs are designed to reward performance based upon achievement in accordance with annual goals approved by the Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year, and align the priorities and performance of our NEOs with the priorities and strategies of the Company, and with the interests of our stockholders.

In FY09, important factors that were identified in the setting and awarding of compensation include: revenue growth; improved operating margin; operational excellence; and new product development and sales. The Committee identified these priorities because they are important to generate increased value for our stockholders and are areas over which management can exert the greatest amount of control thus increasing the potential for immediate and long term profitability. Each NEO’s compensation is contingent upon overall corporate performance as well as specific performance metrics particular to each NEO’s position and consistent with their roles on the management team.

The Committee believes that a significant portion of executive compensation should be tied directly to the Company’s financial performance. As set forth in more detail herein, the Company’s executive compensation package is designed to fluctuate with the financial performance of the Company as a whole. During years when the Company’s performance experiences a downturn, executive compensation will be lower; likewise, during years where the Company experiences increased revenues and profitability, executive compensation is designed to increase. The Committee feels this compensation philosophy aligns the interests of our executives with that of our stockholders and provides motivation for high performance levels from our executives.

Setting Executive Target Compensation

The Committee retains Radford, an AON Consulting Company, as its independent compensation consultant on all matters related to the compensation of NEOs and other senior executives. Radford reports to the Committee and the Committee reviews and evaluates Radford’s performance and compensation. Radford does not provide any other consulting services to the Company outside of its compensation consulting services to the Committee. Independent of its consulting services, the Company subscribes to and participates in Radford’s Executive, Sales, Benchmark and International Compensation Surveys. Radford provides strategic guidance to the Committee by leveraging its extensive database and significant industry expertise. Radford reported to the Committee and the Committee requested that Radford provide it with comparative market data on industry best practices and data related to our NEOs and senior executives. For the compensation evaluation, in addition to publicly available data for our peers, Radford also relied on its 2008 Radford High Technology Executive Survey1.

The Committee used data compiled by Radford to compare our NEOs’ compensation with the compensation of executive officers at peer companies in the semiconductor industry. The Committee, after consultation with management and Radford, established a specific group of peer companies to assist in the assessment of job levels and compensation programs and practices. In defining an appropriate peer group for purposes of comparing compensation data, consideration was given to the following factors: companies with whom the Company competes for business and executive talent in the semiconductor industry; companies with revenues generally between $400 million and $2 billion reflecting businesses of similar scope and complexity; and companies with market capitalization generally between $500 million and $3 billion reflecting businesses of similar maturity. Based on these factors, the Committee reviewed and updated our list of peers from fiscal year 2008 (“FY08”) and as a result the following companies (collectively, the “Peer Group”) were included in the compensation analysis for FY09:

 

Atmel    Intersil    PMC Sierra
Conexant Systems    Linear Technology    RF Micro Devices
Cypress Semiconductor    Microchip Technology    Silicon Laboratories
Fairchild Semiconductor    Microsemi    Skyworks Solutions
International Rectifier    OmniVision Technologies    Standard Microsystems

In the month prior to the beginning of FY09, as requested by the Committee, Radford presented the Committee with Peer Group and broader market survey data related to the compensation of executives holding positions comparable to the positions of each of our NEOs including data regarding base salaries, performance bonuses and equity awards. In order to assist the Committee with evaluation of our NEOs’ compensation packages, survey data was combined with proxy data, where sufficient proxy data was available, to create a final market average which was used to assess compensation levels. Compensation data for NEOs who report to the CEO are reviewed by the Committee with the CEO and Radford. Data and criteria related to the CEO’s compensation, including peer group market data, are reviewed and evaluated only within the Committee with its outside compensation advisor, and not with the CEO.

Base salaries and target performance bonuses (collectively, “Total Cash Compensation”) are determined on an annual basis at the beginning of each fiscal year. The Committee generally targets the 50th percentile of market for Total Cash Compensation based on the Peer Group and broader market survey data provided by Radford. Total Cash Compensation is considered an important part of the executive compensation package in order to remain competitive in attracting and retaining executive talent. Total Cash Compensation is designed to fluctuate with Company performance. In fiscal years when the Company exhibits superior financial performance, Total Cash Compensation is designed to generally be above average competitive levels. When financial performance is below the targeted goal for a particular fiscal year, Total Cash Compensation is designed to generally be below average competitive levels.

Total Cash Compensation in combination with equity awards (collectively, “Total Direct Compensation”) is also targeted at the 50th percentile of market based on the Peer Group and broader market survey data provided by Radford. Equity awards are granted to the NEOs generally at the beginning of each fiscal year, and are our only form of long-term incentive compensation. In determining equity grants for the NEOs for FY09, the Committee used Peer Group and broader market survey data provided by Radford as a guideline so that the targeted value of

equity grants would be near the 50th percentile of equity grants among the Company’s peers. The Committee also assessed the performance, current equity holdings, internal comparisons and retention risks with respect to each NEO in addition to the Peer Group and broader market survey data provided by Radford.

Role of CEO in Compensation Decisions

Greg Lang, the Company’s former CEO made recommendations to the Committee prior to the beginning of the FY09 as to the levels of compensation of the other NEOs. Dr. Tewksbury did not make any recommendation to the Committee prior to the beginning of FY09 as to the levels of compensation of the other NEOs because Dr. Tewksbury’s employment commencement date was the first day of FY09. In making recommendations on the other NEOs’ compensation, Mr. Lang reviewed and evaluated each NEO’s performance, expected future contributions, internal comparisons and also considered the market survey data provided by Radford.

While the annual goals for each of the NEOs are specific and measurable, at the end of the fiscal year, Dr. Tewksbury had the authority to exercise reasonable discretion in recommending whether each NEO’s business unit, as a whole, had achieved the corporate objectives for the year. Such discretion may result in increasing or decreasing the Business Unit Achievement Factor (as defined below), which could have a direct impact on the NEO’s recommended bonus.

Any recommendations made by Dr. Tewksbury regarding the base salaries, bonuses and equity awards of the NEOs are subject to the final review and approval of the Committee. Similarly, Dr. Tewksbury was invited to provide input to the Committee with regard to his own compensation, but he did not participate in the Committee’s final recommendation to the Board or the Board’s final determination of his compensation.

Individual Elements of NEO Compensation

Each NEO is compensated through base salary, a performance bonus and equity awards. Annual compensation decisions regarding each of these elements take into account each NEO’s performance during the previous fiscal year, his or her expected performance during the current fiscal year, compensation relative to the Peer Group and broader market survey data provided by Radford and each business unit’s goals for the current fiscal year.

Base Salary

Base salaries are determined annually by the Committee, at the beginning of each fiscal year, based upon the criteria outlined above and a review of the data referred to under “Setting Executive Target Compensation” above.

Base salaries for the NEOs were approved by the Committee (except for Mr. White, who is not an executive officer) and represent year-over-year increases as detailed in the following table:

In determining Dr. Tewksbury’s FY09 base salary, the Committee, in consultation with Radford, considered Dr. Tewksbury’s qualifications, experience and market data at the 50th percentile for the Company’s peer group. Based on these considerations, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a base salary to align with the Company’s Peer Group and the broader market survey data provided by Radford. The Committee further reviewed the individual performance and relevant Peer Group and broader market salary data of the other four NEOs

and approved FY09 base salaries for each as set forth in the table above. In so deciding, the Committee considered that the base salaries for Messrs. Hosein and Lee were under the 50th percentile of the Company’s peers for their respective positions.

Performance Bonus

The Company does not administer a special or separate bonus plan for executive officers apart from the general employee population. The NEOs participate with other eligible employees in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). The ICP was established to help align the goals and efforts of participating Company employees, including the NEOs, with the Company’s strategic goals and direction. Through the ICP, a portion of an eligible employee’s total cash compensation opportunity is directly linked to the annual results of the performance of the unit in which the employee works and Company-wide performance. This gives eligible employees a clear and direct stake in their own unit’s success and in the Company’s overall success.

The overall objectives of the ICP are:

 

   

Encourage outstanding performance from individual employees, business units and the Company as a whole;

 

   

Align and share the benefits of successful Company performance with eligible employees;

 

   

Enhance teamwork; and

 

   

Support a consistent process for establishing, measuring and rewarding performance.

The ICP is comprised of three separate components: (1) an Individual Incentive Target; (2) a Business Unit Achievement Factor; and (3) a Company-wide Achievement Factor. These three components are then used to calculate each participating employee’s cash performance bonus payment. An employee must be employed and in good standing on the last day of the performance period to receive a performance bonus.

Bonuses earned under the ICP are paid in cash in two installments. The first installment is paid in November reflecting performance over the first two quarters of the fiscal year. The second installment is paid in May which reflects the overall performance for the entire previous fiscal year, after deducting the first installment paid in the previous November. The Company maintains this biannual payment schedule in order to provide continual incentive and reward for employees throughout the year and also to maintain a current assessment of where individual employees, business units and the Company as a whole stand in relation to meeting the goals that have been set for the fiscal year.

Individual Incentive Targets

Each eligible employee, including the NEOs, is assigned an Individual Incentive Target based on a percentage of annual base salary. This target is established in consideration of the employee’s job level, job role, job function, competitive data provided by Radford, as well as accomplishments within the employee’s job level. The Individual Incentive Targets for the NEOs are reviewed annually by the CEO and the Committee. Any adjustment made to the Individual Incentive Target for the NEOs is made at the recommendation of the CEO and is subject to the final review and approval of the Committee. Any adjustment made to the Individual Incentive Target for the CEO is made at the recommendation of the Committee and is subject to the final review and approval of the Board. For FY09, the Committee recommended and the Board reviewed and approved an Individual Incentive Target of 100% of base salary for Dr. Tewksbury, 65% of base salary for Mr. Hosein and 40% of base salary for Mr. White. For FY09, the Committee approved an Individual Incentive Target for Messrs. Lee, Zust and Iyer of 55% of base salary. Following Mr. Hosein’s termination and Mr. Crowley’s commencement of employment with the Company, the Committee recommended and the Board reviewed and approved an Individual Incentive Target of 60% of base salary for Mr. Crowley.

As set forth in the chart above, Mr. Lee’s target bonus was increased by five percentage points from FY08 to FY09 and Mr. Hosein’s target bonus was increased by fifteen percentage points from FY08 to FY09. Based on Peer Group and broader market survey data provided by Radford, the Committee determined that Mr. Hosein’s and Mr. Lee’s FY08 target bonuses were below that of their respective peers.

Individual payouts against the performance targets are based on evaluation of a combination of general corporate metrics (e.g., gross revenue, profit, EPS, etc.), individual business unit achievement, and personal accomplishments of each individual, as set forth in more detail below under “Calculation of Performance Bonus.”

Business Unit Achievement Factor

In addition to the Individual Incentive Targets, the performance of each business unit affects individual bonus awards. The CEO and the Committee agree upon and recommend to the Board certain objectives for the CEO which are consistent with the Company’s strategic and operating plans. The Board has final approval over the objectives established for the CEO each fiscal year. The CEO and the individual unit managers agree upon objectives appropriate to each business unit before the beginning of each fiscal year. Those objectives are then subject to final review and approval by the Committee. The following represent the Committee’s guiding principles for setting objectives for our NEOs and their respective business units:

 

   

Support the short-term and long-term strategic plans of the corporation and the specific business units and functions;

 

   

Align corporate level performance with specific group performance so that, absent extraordinary circumstances, performance bonuses are only paid when both the Company-wide and group objectives have at least achieved threshold performance;

 

   

Reflect a proper mix of financial and non-financial goals; and

 

   

Ensure the programs are structured to pay for performance, such that bonuses would not be paid to an NEO who did not attain his or her respective performance targets.

For bonuses paid in FY09, Dr. Tewksbury was measured against corporate goals relative to revenue growth, operating income, and execution of certain key product schedules and business strategies.

Messrs. Hosein, White and Crowley’s business unit was measured against goals related to cost reduction and revenue enhancement strategies, key information technology projects, and financial and supply chain process improvements.

Mr. Lee’s business unit was measured against goals which focused on operating margin, market share, project execution, operational excellence, and organizational development.

Mr. Zust’s business unit was measured against revenue growth, operating margin, design wins, product execution and strategic execution.

Mr. Iyer’s business unit was measured against revenue growth, operating margin, silicon project execution, software execution, operational excellence and growth initiatives.

At the end of a performance period, the CEO will assess the performance of each business unit and will report to the Committee the degree to which each unit has met its goals. The Committee will review and has final approval in determining whether each business unit has met its stated goals. The Committee will review the CEO’s performance and has final approval in determining whether the CEO’s stated goals have been met. Subject to the Committee’s final review and approval, the CEO will assign each business unit a “Business Unit Achievement Factor” which represents the overall percentage of goals the unit has achieved. The Committee will also determine and assign a Business Unit Achievement Factor for the CEO.

A business unit must achieve an overall score of at least 50% of its stated goals for the fiscal year in order to receive a bonus. If the business unit does not reach a minimum threshold of 50%, no employee in that unit, including a NEO, will be awarded a bonus. The maximum Business Unit Achievement Factor for any individual unit is 125%, which represents an achievement exceeding stated goals.

We are not disclosing specific goals within the above categories nor are we disclosing the weightings that applied to each goal because we believe such disclosure would cause us competitive harm. Such information is confidential and could cause competitive harm since specific goals and weightings may indicate the priority we place on certain activities, products and/or programs. The table under the heading “Calculation of Performance Bonus” below sets forth the Business Unit Achievement Factor for the CEO and the NEOs for purposes of calculating the performance bonus each received in FY09. The numbers in this table illustrate in detail how each NEO’s performance was evaluated in terms of reaching the NEO’s stated objectives for the year. Goals are set in such a manner as to be difficult to achieve and targets are correlated to achieving exceptional business results.

Company-Wide Achievement Factor

In addition to the performance of the individual and each business unit, the Company’s overall performance also affects individual bonus awards. Under the ICP, the Committee recommends and the Board reviews and approves a targeted overall non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) that will be used as the metric for determining a Company-wide Achievement Factor. The Company must achieve EPS consistent with the established 50% threshold target in order to be assigned a Company-wide Achievement Factor. If the Company is below a threshold of 50%, the Company-wide Achievement Factor is 0% and no bonus will be paid to any participant including the NEOs, regardless of individual or business unit performance. The maximum achievement factor the Company can receive is 200%. An analysis is made at mid-year of the estimated year-end Company-wide achievement factor is above the minimum threshold established by the Committee. The mid-year payout, if any, is equivalent to 45% of the estimated annual payout, based on the mid-year analysis of estimated year-end performance. The year-end payout, if any, is adjusted to account for the actual year-end performance compared to the performance estimated at mid-year. The Company-wide Achievement Factor was 70% in the first half of FY09 and 0% for the second half and year-end, as approved by the Board of Directors.

The table under the heading “Performance Bonus Payments Earned in FY09” below sets forth the Company-wide Achievement Factor as it is used in the calculation of each NEO’s performance bonus in FY09.

Calculation of Performance Bonus

The performance bonus for each employee, including the NEOs, is the product of each NEO’s FY09 base earnings, Individual Incentive Target, Business Unit Achievement Factor and Company-wide

Achievement Factor. If a NEO’s year-end Business Unit Achievement Factor is 0% (threshold not met), there will be no year-end bonus awarded. Likewise, if the year-end Company-wide Achievement Factor is 0% (threshold not met), there will be no year-end bonus awarded. A mid-year bonus may be awarded as determined by the Committee, as a percentage of the expected year-end achievement, based on progress to goals at the mid-year point. Any bonus amount may be modified by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to reflect performance or other criteria that the Committee believes should be reflected in the performance bonus for the NEOs or other eligible employees.

Maximum award targets reflect very ambitious goals which can only be attained when business results are exceptional thus justifying higher award payments. To date, none of the NEOs has earned a bonus award based on an achievement of maximum performance levels under our ICP. The bonus payment amounts for FY09 are significantly less than payments made in FY08 due to the Company’s below target performance on revenue growth and operating margins. This result demonstrates the Company’s philosophy that executive compensation should be tied directly to the Company’s financial performance, thus aligning the executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.

Equity Awards for the NEOs in FY09

The Company has historically provided long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity to our NEOs and other eligible employees. Our equity awards are designed to reward our NEOs for their past performance, motivate future performance, strengthen retention, and align their interests with those of our stockholders. At the beginning of FY09, the Committee reviewed the relevant Peer Group and broader market survey data for equity awards provided by Radford for similarly-situated executives and targeted the NEO equity grants to be at or near the 50th percentile of our peers. In determining the NEO equity grants, the Committee also considered the recommendations made by the CEO (except for his own award).

The equity compensation program for FY09 included a mix of both stock options and RSUs that varied based on an employee’s grade level, with more emphasis on stock options for senior level employees. For most exempt employees, stock options and RSUs each represent 50% of the value of their

equity grants using Black-Scholes. For Messrs. Lee, Zust and Iyer, stock options represent approximately 75% of the total values of their grants and RSUs represent approximately 25% of the total values of their grants. For Dr. Tewksbury and Mr. Crowley, stock options represent approximately 80% of the total values of their grants and RSUs represent approximately 20% of the total values of their grants. The emphasis on stock options at the upper levels of the organization is intended to place more of the executive’s total compensation at risk and dependent upon the Company’s performance thus ensuring a strong alignment with stockholders.

Equity awards granted to the NEOs during FY09 are set forth in the table “Grants of Plan Based Awards for Fiscal Year 2009.” Stock options granted by the Company have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock on the day before the grant date and typically vest over a four-year period based upon continued employment, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vesting monthly thereafter for the remaining 36 months. Stock options generally expire seven years after the date of the grant. Our option plans specifically preclude the repricing of stock options and stock appreciation rights, absent stockholder approval. RSUs typically vest over a four-year period based upon continued employment, with 25% of the grant vesting on each anniversary date of the grant.

Equity Award Policies

At each January meeting of the Committee, an annual Company-wide equity budget is established for the granting of stock options and RSUs. This budget is based on focal and new hire guidelines approved by the Committee and the projected needs of the Company during the next fiscal year for our annual focal process, new hires, promotions, patent awards, annual Board of Directors’ awards and other types of grants.

The majority of the equity budget is used during our annual focal process, in which equity grants are made each May based on employee performance and impact on the organization during the previous fiscal year and an assessment of the expected value of future contributions. All exempt employees and approximately one-third of non-exempt employees were eligible for focal equity grants in FY09. Grants for newly hired employees are made on the fifteenth day of the month (or on the next business day thereafter if the fifteenth falls on a Saturday or Sunday) following the completion of the month in which they began employment. Grants for promotions are made either in conjunction with the annual focal process or midway through the fiscal year. Grants in recognition of patent filings and awards are made quarterly. Other grants (i.e., for special recognition) may occur at other times during the fiscal year as appropriate.

The Committee periodically reviews our gross and net stock burn rates. The Committee endeavors to ensure that our gross stock burn rate approximates the average rate within our Peer Group as well as the average rates within broader high technology industry groups, and that the annual and the three-year average gross stock burn rates are within the recommended range of independent shareholder advisory groups. The Committee has determined to maintain the Company’s gross stock burn rate at a level consistent with the stock burn rate of other companies in the semiconductor industry, establishing a gross stock burn rate target of 3% or less for FY09.

In calculating our stock burn rate, the Committee uses the methodology specified by RiskMetrics Group. Under this methodology, based on our stock price volatility for FY07, FY08 and FY09, we count each full-value share twice in our calculations of burn rates for each of these three fiscal years. The gross stock burn rate is determined by dividing the sum of all options granted during the fiscal year plus two times all RSUs granted during the fiscal year by the average shares outstanding during the fiscal year. During FY09, gross options issued totaled 3,774,668 and gross RSUs issued totaled 994,921. Including stock repurchases of 8,357,300 shares during FY09, the average number of shares outstanding was 167,231,626, resulting in a gross stock burn rate of 3.45%.2

Due to significant cancellations in FY09, the Company’s net burn rate (i.e. total equity awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans in a fiscal year (adjusted for full-value awards as discussed above), net of forfeitures and cancellations for such year (adjusted for full value awards as discussed above), divided by the average shares of common stock outstanding during the fiscal year) was significantly less than the Company’s gross burn rate; and, in FY09, the net burn rate was less than zero percent ((0.63)%).

Table of Contents

Over the past several years, we have targeted a gross burn rate of 3% or less and with the exception of acquisition-related grants made in FY06 and FY07, have successfully managed within our target. Our gross burn rate was 3.39% in FY07, 2.54% in FY08 and 3.45% in FY09. The following chart graphically represents this data.

LOGO

We have no program, plan or practice to coordinate equity grants with the release of material information. The Committee does not have a current policy to accelerate or delay equity grants in response to material information, nor do we delay the release of information due to plans for making equity grants.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In October 2007, the Company implemented mandatory stock ownership guidelines for its CEO, CFO and members of our Board of Directors. The purpose of the mandatory stock ownership guidelines is to give our top executives and board members a vested interest in the long term success of the Company.

The stock ownership guidelines provide that our CEO shall maintain stock ownership in an amount equal to annual base salary, the CFO shall maintain stock ownership in an amount equal to .5 of annual base salary and Board members shall maintain stock ownership in the amount of at least $50,000. These mandatory ownership guidelines must be achieved no later than five years after commencement of service in the designated position.

Retirement and Other Benefits

401(k) Plan. The Company offers the NEOs the opportunity to participate in its 401(k) plan. NEOs participate under the same plan provisions as all other employees. Participating NEOs may contribute up to 75% of their eligible compensation as a pretax or Roth after-tax contribution to a maximum of $15,500 in calendar year 2008 and $16,500 in calendar year 2009. Historically, key provisions of the plan included a Company match of $0.80 per $1.00 of the employee’s contributions up to 5% of base salary with maximum calendar year contributions from the Company capped at $5,000 per employee. This practice is viewed by the Company as consistent with industry norms and required to provide a total compensation plan that is competitive with other high technology and semiconductor

companies. The Company’s contributions vest over four years and if an employee terminates his or her employment prior to four years, the Company’s contributions will be prorated according to the number of years worked. On March 30, 2009, the Company suspended its 401(k) match indefinitely as a cost-saving measure, in light of business conditions caused by the recent global economic downturn.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company maintains an unfunded Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan eligible to provide benefits to director level employees and above. Under this plan, participants can defer up to 100% of their regular salaries, bonuses or other compensation such as commissions or special awards. Participants can select from among 20 different investment options from which their earnings are measured. A participant is credited with the return of the underlying investment option and there is currently no matching of contributions by the Company. Participant balances are always 100% vested. Additionally, the Company has set aside assets in a separate trust designed to meet the obligations under the plan. The trust assets are invested in a manner that is intended to offset the investment performance of the funds selected by the participants. The deferral accounts are distributed following a participant’s termination of employment with the Company unless the participant has elected an in-service withdrawal (scheduled or hardship withdrawal). Generally, distributions are made in a lump sum payment; however, in the event of a distribution due to retirement, participant may elect a single lump sum distribution or annual installment distributions paid over two to 15 years. The Committee believes this plan helps the Company maintain a competitive advantage in that it is an important vehicle that allows plan participants to reach their retirement objectives over the long term.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company has historically maintained an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company’s 1984 Employee Stock Purchase Plan terminated in accordance with its terms on the last day of FY09. The Committee and the Board of Directors has adopted a new Employee Stock Purchase Plan, subject to approval of the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. NEOs participate under the same plan provisions as all other eligible employees. Under the proposed plan, eligible employees can purchase Company stock on the last day of each designated three-month purchase period. The per share purchase price is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the first day of the three-month purchase period or 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the last day of the three-month purchase period. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be purchased is 2,500 shares per purchase period. During FY09, Messrs. Crowley, Iyer, White and Zust participated in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Messrs. Tewksbury, Lee, and Hosein did not participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time during FY09.

Other Benefits. The NEOs are eligible to participate in all other benefits programs offered by the Company to its employees generally, and on the same terms as all other employees. These programs include, but are not limited to, group medical, group dental, basic life insurance, supplemental life insurance, long-term disability insurance, and other such benefits programs.

Employment and Change of Control Agreements

The Company has not entered into employment agreements with any of the NEOs, other than Dr. Tewksbury. Under Dr. Tewksbury’s offer letter, if Dr. Tewksbury’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause during the 24 month period commencing on the first day of employment with the Company, the Company will pay him a lump sum equal to the amount of salary that would otherwise have been paid to him for the remainder of such 24 month period. In addition, the Company will pay for the cost of Dr. Tewksbury’s health insurance premiums for the remainder of the 24 month period. The offer letter was entered into pursuant to individual negotiations with the Committee at the time of Dr. Tewksbury’s employment with the Company.

The Company has entered into Change of Control Agreements with the CEO and each of the other NEOs. All of the Change of Control Agreements provide that in the event of a termination of employment without cause within two years after a change of control of the Company, each NEO would be entitled to a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to twelve months of his base salary, as well as prorated bonus payments, continued health benefits for the same period, and outplacement services with a total

value not to exceed $15,000. The agreements for all NEOs also provide that the vesting of outstanding options and restricted stock will become accelerated by two years upon a change of control. The agreements further generally provide that benefits may be limited under certain circumstances to a lesser amount so that no portion of the benefits is subject to the imposition of excise taxes under the “golden parachute” provisions of Section 280G of the Code, if such limitation results in the receipt by the NEO, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code (“Section 162(m)”) generally provides that publicly held corporations may not deduct in any taxable year certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers. The Company believes that its stock option related compensation may generally satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m). However, the Committee considers one of its primary responsibilities to provide a compensation program that will attract, retain, and reward executive talent necessary to maximize stockholder returns. Accordingly, the Committee believes that the Company’s interests are best served in some circumstances to provide compensation (such as salary, prerequisites, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards) which might be subject to the tax deductibility limitation of Section 162(m).

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation In Compensation Decisions

During FY09, the members of the Committee were all non-employee directors of the Company and have not at any time been officers of the Company. No interlocking relationship exists between the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor did any such interlocking relationship exist during FY09.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement. Based on this review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.

Further, options outstanding as of this date were 29,812,244, the weighted average exercise price was $11.55, and the weighted average term to expiration was 3.52 years and RSUs outstanding as of this date were 1,869,526 with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.99 years.

Description of the 1997 Stock Option Plan

In October 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”). The 1997 Plan is administered, subject to its terms, by the Compensation Committee, whose members are designated by the Board of Directors. The 1997 Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) to employees, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company and its affiliates. Officers and members of the Board of Directors who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are not eligible to participate in the 1997 Plan.

The purchase price of the common stock issuable pursuant to options granted under the 1997 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The fair market value on the date of grant is defined as the closing price of the common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. If any option is forfeited or terminates for any reason before being exercised, then the shares of common stock subject to such option shall again become available for future awards under the 1997 Plan. Options granted under the 1997 Plan generally have seven-year terms and vest 25% within the first year and the remaining shares vest monthly over three years such that the options are fully vested four years from the date of grant. Options granted under the 1997 Plan are also subject to accelerated vesting in the event of certain corporate transactions. The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 1997 Plan. The 1997 Plan expired in October 2007. The Company may no longer grant awards under the 1997 Plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships

The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with certain officers and directors which provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, judgments, fines and settlements such officer or director may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which they are or may be made a party by reason of their position as a director, officer or other agent of the Company, and otherwise to the full extent permitted under Delaware law and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company.

The Audit Committee, under its charter, has the responsibility of reviewing and approving in advance any proposed related party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. There were no related transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K during fiscal year ended March 29, 2009.

Director Independence

The NASDAQ Stock Market rules require a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors to be independent of the Company and its management. The Board has a responsibility to make an affirmative determination that such directors are “independent” as defined in the NASDAQ rules. Our Board has affirmatively determined that all of its members and nominees are independent under the NASDAQ rules, except for Dr. Tewksbury, who is an employee of the Company.

In accordance with the charter of the Company’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”), the Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including the estimated fees and other terms of any such engagement. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee may elect to delegate pre-approval authority to one or more designated committee members in accordance with its charter. The Audit Committee considers whether such audit or non-audit services are consistent with SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP pursuant to established pre-approval policies and procedures. The Audit Committee has determined the rendering of non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee approved all of the fees set forth in the table above for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2009, and March 30, 2008, respectively.
