Dear Maxim Integrated Stockholders:

I am pleased to provide you with the enclosed Proxy Statement for our 2013 Annual Meeting and Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 29, 2013. I am very proud of our accomplishments in fiscal 2013.

First, revenues were approximately $2.4 billion, and approximately the same as fiscal year 2012, in a challenging environment.

Second, we maintained stable gross margins within our long-term target range driven by increasing analog integration as well as our flexible manufacturing model.

Third, we delivered on our commitment of returning cash to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases as we returned to shareholders approximately 27% of revenue during fiscal year 2013. We also recently increased the quarterly dividend by 8% reflecting both confidence in the business model and ability to generate sufficient cash throughout economic cycles.

Last, but not least, we successfully launched a new brand for our company which emphasizes our strategy of integration. We continue to be a leader in analog integration as revenue from our high-integration products now represents approximately 50% of our total revenue.

As described in our Proxy Statement, we are asking for your continued support of our equity compensation plans through approval of modest share increases to our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and our 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. We have an extremely talented and dedicated workforce, and the share increases are critically important for recruitment and retention. Awards under these Plans also provide appropriate incentives for our employees to deliver superior results for our stockholders. I urge you to vote in favor of these Proposals as set forth in our Proxy Statement.

Thank you for your continuing support, and we look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

Tunç Doluca

President and Chief Executive Officer

Maxim Integrated
