TRIQUINT EMPLOYEE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question	Answer
Which N-2 manager will be responsible for sub- contractor assembly and test?	The recently announced role of Director of Singapore International and Final Manufacturing Sourcing, Matt Kaye, will be responsible for managing sub-contractor operations.
How do we plan to label our parts going forward?	We are keenly aware of the importance of proper attribution of our parts in teardowns. For that reason, the agency tasked with developing our new logo has also been tasked with coming up with a way to properly brand our parts.
Will the Rocky Holding, Inc. common stock trade on NASDAQ for a period of time until the NewCo permanent name and symbol is determined? If so, under what name or symbol?	No. Prior to closing of the merger, Rocky Holding, Inc. will change its name and have a new symbol under which its common stock will trade on NASDAQ upon closing of the merger.
What are RFMD’s benefits for Asia based employees?	RFMD offers a combination of private benefit plans, including PTO, and national insurance programs in its locations outside the U.S. These programs vary by country and are aligned with local government requirements and market practices. In addition, RFMD provides employee cash bonus programs and sales incentive plans in these countries for eligible employees.
Will NewCo have an employee stock purchase plan?	We do plan for NewCo to have an employee stock purchase plan, and are currently working out the details. We hope to provide more information before Day One.
For those employees that have worked at both RFMD and TriQuint, will their years of service from each company be combined together for purposes of PTO evaluation?	Please see below responses in this section (Compensation and Benefits) for more details on the benefits to be offered by NewCo.
If sabbatical is not part of the NewCo benefit plan, what will happen to former TriQuint employees that are about to earn sabbatical a few months after the close?	Please see below responses in this section (Compensation and Benefits) for more details on the benefits to be offered by NewCo.
Will all our ISO procedures need to be re-written?	The Quality Manuals (sometimes referred to as our Business Manuals) will eventually need to reflect the name of NewCo. The existing RFMD Doc Center will be used within NewCo as it is a part of the chosen PDE process. All controlled documents (including ISO documents) will be moved to the new Doc Center and NewCo will utilize only one document control system across the company. Training on the use of Doc Center will begin with document control administrators before the merger closes, and similar training sessions will be cascaded down the organization soon after Day One. As soon as the training is complete, documents will be migrated to Doc Center. Any required changes to ISO specific documents will be made at that time by NewCo's Quality Systems specialists. None of the existing document control systems will be discontinued until everyone is trained and all documents have been migrated.
Is there any truth to the rumor on 7/29/14 that Texas Instruments is bidding for RFMD?	Rumors and speculation are common occurrences that surround mergers and acquisitions during all stages of the process. We realize that stock market rumors can be distracting but ask that you set them aside and remain focused. Any press inquiries should be directed to Brandi Frye at TriQuint and Brent Dietz at RFMD.  Any investor questions should be directed to Grant Brown at TriQuint and Doug DeLieto at RFMD.  Other than referring inbound contact, no one should have contact with the media.
How can I learn about open positions, and what should I do if I am interested in an opening?	Open positions will continue to be posted on each company’s website. If you are interested in a position, talk to your manager and let him/her know you would like to apply.
What, if any changes will there be to my benefits (e.g., 401(k) plan, medical and other insurance, paid time off etc.) upon close and how will I learn more?	​Employees will continue to have their current benefits.  Please refer to the FAQ below for more details on the health benefits to be offered by NewCo. Following closing of the merger, we will have an opportunity to conduct a thorough review of all other compensation and benefits programs in all the countries where NewCo will operate.

Who are the new leaders, and when will the full leadership team be announced?	The new company will have a shared leadership team: TriQuint CEO Ralph Quinsey will serve as non-executive Chairman. RFMD CEO Bob Bruggeworth will serve as CEO. The board of directors will be made up of ten directors, with five directors from the existing board of each company.  Eight of the ten directors will be independent. Details, including names and brief job descriptions for the leadership team (up to 2 levels below the CEO) can be found at theIntegration MattersSharePoint site. We expect to announce the next level of the leadership team before Day One, and will complete organization design for the remaining levels of the organization after closing of the merger.
After the merger, if there are redundant positions or organizational changes that require eliminating jobs, will there be a re-interview process to determine who gets the available position? If not, how is that decision made and who makes it?	We are currently in the process of designing the organization for NewCo. We are using multiple inputs, including interviews, wherever there is more than one suitable candidate for a position. We will continue to do our best to run a fair and transparent selection process. We encourage you to reach out to your HR representative if you have concerns or questions.
Is there any timeline where we will find out the new benefits with regard to the combined company? More specifically, what will be the plan for our current health insurance plans, and that of the new company?	As part of the integration planning process, we are comparing the benefits and policies of both companies. Please refer to the FAQ below for more details on the health benefits to be offered by NewCo. We will inform you of any changes to your benefits once the merger is completed. While your benefits may look different after closing of the merger, our goal is to maintain market competitive benefits and policies in the aggregate.
What is the timeline for organizational design for NewCo?	The organizational design timeline for NewCo is closely dependent on regulatory approvals. Pending such approvals: - Positions which are 2 levels below CEO were announced in early July - Positions which are 3 levels below CEO, and a select group of external-facing positions 4 levels below CEO, are targeted to be announced in early September No other organizational design decisions are expected to be made prior to closing of the merger. All employees will be informed which manager (at a position 3 or 4 levels below the CEO) they will report into in NewCo. The rest of the organizational design will be completed after closing of the merger.
