TRIQUINT EMPLOYEE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.
Does RFMD have profit sharing? How often do they distribute if so? How many times in the last 2 years have they paid profit share?	RFMD operates an Employee Cash Bonus Plan for full time employees and Sales Incentive Plans for eligible employees of its sales organizations. All full time employees participate in one or the other of these two plans. RFMD has no additional profit sharing plan.
Will TriQuint Costa Rica manufacturing be moved to China?	Decisions on where products will be built are part of the integration process and have not yet been made. Product transitions require long lead times and can be disruptive to our customers. If we decide to make changes, the transitions will take place in a manner that mitigates any impact on our customers, and should provide sufficient notice of any transition to affected employees.
Do we know if we are still going to have sabbatical and if not and we are due for sabbatical after the merger this year, do we lose it? Will we have some kind of compensation for losing it?	As part of the integration process, we are comparing all of the benefits and policies of both companies. While your benefits may look different after closing of the merger, our goal is to maintain market competitive benefits and policies in the aggregate. It’s too soon to be able to comment on any one specific benefit.
What will happen to our overseas facilities? Will we close them?	Decisions on facility closures are part of the integration process and have not yet been made. We will notify you as soon as possible if or when we make any such decisions. If a facility is closed, we will work with customers on individual product transition plans.
Will our shifts change?	As part of the integration process, we are comparing all of the benefits and policies of both companies. 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 will happen to the ESPP when the merger closes?	TriQuint will still have our ESPP purchase on May 1, 2014. If the merger closes before November 1, 2014, the offering period will be shortened so that it will end on or prior to the merger closing date. The funds withheld during the shortened offering will be used to purchase TriQuint shares on the last day of the shortened offering period. For this shortened period the purchase price of the offering will be 85% of the lower of the market price on May 1, 2014 and the new purchase date, which will be the last day of the shortened offering period. The purchased shares will be deposited in your Fidelity account. There may not be sufficient time between the new purchase date and the merger closing date for you to be able to sell your purchased shares before the merger closes. Any purchased shares you hold when the merger closes will be converted to shares of the new company as provided in the merger agreement. Fidelity accounts will be locked down for the conversion of your shares into shares of the new company for approximately one to two weeks.

	There may be a trading blackout starting on the date the merger closes that would continue for the period determined by the new company board of directors, and which could apply to you and could continue for as long as until the new company files its first quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.
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 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.”
After the merger, if there are redundant positions or organizational changes that require eliminating jobs, will there by 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 reapply. For roles that are redundant, there will be a selection process, which may involve an interview.
