RFMD EMPLOYEE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who in the company will have input on the new company name?	We have distributed a brand attributes survey to employees to get their input into the naming process. This survey closed as of 6pm Pacific time on April 25th. We will be reviewing your inputs in the coming weeks.
Will employees have the option to use accrued PTO/Flex hours after the merger? Or, will a payout be given on these hours?	Employees may use available PTO and Flex Holidays as they have in the past until the closing date. We have not made any specific decisions about combined benefits and HR practices following the closing date; however, we intend to have a smooth transfer of accrued and unused PTO from RFMD to our new company.
Will we be called Rocky Holding Inc. long-term?	No, this will not be the long-term name. For the time being, the legal documents relating to the combination of RFMD and TriQuint in a merger of equals refer to a new holding company currently named Rocky Holding, Inc. The S-4 states: “Prior to completion of the mergers, we anticipate that Rocky Holding, Inc. will change its name, adopt a NASDAQ symbol for its common stock, and register a new trade name and logo that reflect the key attributes of the combined company.”
Prior to the merger, will RFMD allow employees to roll their 401(k) out of RFMD to an independent financial institution rather than an automatic rollover to the new company? Will there be a blackout period? Will RFMD provide rollover information prior to the merger?	We are not planning any major changes to RFMD’s 401(k) Plan prior to the closing date. The Fidelity Net Benefits website is available to plan participants so that they can manage their account balances in the RFMD plan as they have in the past. We have not made any specific decisions yet about how we will handle the RFMD and TriQuint 401(k) Plans after the closing date. Since both companies use Fidelity, it is likely that we will continue to do so.

What effects would the merger have on the company pension scheme? Will it remain in its current form or will there be a change?	We are conducting a thorough review of the benefit plans, including pension schemes, which the companies currently offer in countries where we operate. Between now and the closing date, all RFMD pension plans will operate as they have in the past. We have not made any decisions about any changes in these plans after the closing date.
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?	No decisions have been made regarding organizational design, jobs or specific interviews. The two companies are currently in the “baselining” phase, learning about each other. As we learn more and design the optimal organizational structure for the new company, we will define roles and responsibilities. We will then look at our current talent and match skills to roles. In most cases, there will be little or no change to an employee’s current role and there will be no need to re-apply. For roles that are redundant, there will be a selection process, which may involve an interview.
What process is being used to determine and choose a new name for the combined company? Who is running (or has been hired to assist with) this process?	Both companies’ Corporate Marketing teams are working together to create the new brand. In this effort, we are partnering with Landor Associates, one of the world’s leading branding agencies. Landor has conducted several interviews across both companies, and will review employee feedback from the brand survey. We will work closely with Landor in the coming weeks to identify a new name and collaborate on the complete brand identity for the combined company, including a new logo, color palette and tagline.
