STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT  


This Stipulation of Settlement dated August 12, 2009 (the “Stipulation”), is made and entered into by and among the following Settling Parties (defined below in ¶1.14 hereof), each by and through their respective counsel: (i) plaintiffs Svetlana Belova and Bradley Bullard (“Plaintiffs”) on behalf of themselves and derivatively on behalf of TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (“TriQuint” or the “Company”); (ii) the Individual Defendants (defined below in ¶1.4); and (iii) nominal party TriQuint. The Stipulation is intended by the Settling Parties to fully, finally and forever resolve, discharge and settle the Released Claims (defined below in ¶1.12), upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

I. INTRODUCTION

On February 28, 2007, Belova v. Sharp, et al., Case No. CV-07-0299-MO (the “Belova Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon (the “Court”). On March 16, 2007, Bullard v. Sharp, et al., Case No. CV-07-0398-HA (the “Bullard Action”) was filed in the Court. On April 25, 2007, the Court consolidated the two actions and designated the Belova Action as the lead action (the “Action”). The Action alleges claims on behalf of TriQuint against certain current and former officers and directors of TriQuint, arising from or relating to the alleged improper granting of stock options at TriQuint.

On June 8, 2007, Plaintiffs filed the Verified Consolidated Shareholders Derivative Complaint (“Consolidated Complaint”) alleging violations of §§10(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and violations of Oregon and Delaware law arising out of alleged improper stock option backdating at TriQuint by certain officers and directors named in the complaint. On July 23, 2007, the individual defendants named in the Consolidated Complaint and TriQuint filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On March 13, 2008, the Court granted the motions to dismiss without prejudice and granted Plaintiffs leave to amend.

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 1


On March 28, 2008, Plaintiffs filed the First Amended Verified Consolidated Shareholders Derivative Complaint (“Amended Complaint”) which made similar allegations that were made in the Consolidated Complaint and cured the deficiencies identified by the Court in its March 13, 2008 Order granting defendants’ motions to dismiss. On September 29, 2008, the defendants named in the Amended Complaint filed answers.

On July 16, 2008, counsel for the Plaintiffs, the Individual Defendants, and TriQuint conducted an all day mediation session before Mediator Justice Howard B. Wiener (Ret.). Since the mediation, counsel for Plaintiffs and the Defendants with the assistance of Justice Wiener, continued settlement negotiations to resolve the Action on the terms set forth herein.

 

II. CLAIMS OF THE PLAINTIFFS AND BENEFITS OF SETTLEMENT

Plaintiffs (defined below in ¶1.9) believe that the claims they have asserted in the Action on behalf of TriQuint have merit. However, counsel for the Plaintiffs recognize and acknowledge the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to prosecute the Action against Defendants through trial and through appeals. Plaintiffs’ Counsel (defined below in ¶1.10) have also taken into account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially in complex actions such as the Action, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. Counsel for the Plaintiffs are also mindful of the inherent problems of proof and possible defenses to the claims asserted in the Action or which may be asserted. Based on their evaluation, Plaintiffs and their counsel have determined that the settlement set forth in the Stipulation is in the best interests of and confers substantial benefits upon TriQuint and its shareholders.

 

III. DEFENDANTS’ DENIALS OF WRONGDOING AND LIABILITY

Defendants (defined below in ¶1.1) have denied and continue to deny each and all of the claims and contentions alleged by the Plaintiffs in the Action. Defendants expressly have denied and continue to deny all charges of wrongdoing or liability against them arising out of any of the

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 2


conduct, statements, acts or omissions alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Action. Defendants also have denied and continue to deny, inter alia, the allegations that the Plaintiffs, TriQuint or its shareholders have suffered damage, or that the Plaintiffs, TriQuint or its shareholders were harmed by the conduct alleged in the Action. The Individual Defendants have further asserted, and continue to assert, that at all relevant times, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of TriQuint and its shareholders.

Nonetheless, Defendants have also taken into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in any litigation, especially in complex cases like the Action. Defendants also recognize and acknowledge the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to defend the Action against Plaintiffs through trial and through appeals. Defendants have therefore, determined that it is desirable and beneficial that the Action, and all of the Settling Parties’ disputes related thereto, be fully and finally settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Stipulation. TriQuint believes that the settlement set forth in this Stipulation confers substantial benefits upon TriQuint and its shareholders, and is in the best interests of TriQuint and its shareholders.

 

IV. TERMS OF STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 7


  2. Corporate Governance Benefits to TriQuint

2.1 As a result of the filing, prosecution and settlement of the Action, TriQuint shall adopt the Corporate Governance Reforms set forth below. TriQuint shall adopt resolutions, policies, and amend committee charters to ensure adoption of the Corporate Governance Reforms within thirty (30) days after the issuance of an order finally approving the settlement of the Action. The Corporate Governance Reforms shall be maintained for a period of no less than five (5) years following the issuance of the order finally approving the settlement. TriQuint acknowledges that the adoption of the Corporate Governance Reforms confers a substantial benefit upon TriQuint and its shareholders.

 

A. Stock Option Plans

1. All plans or policies or procedures pursuant to the plans shall clearly define the exercise price, the grant date and the fair market value of stock. In no event shall the exercise price or value of an award be determined by reference to the fair market value of TriQuint stock on a day other than the grant date of the award. The fair market value of TriQuint stock on a grant date shall be defined as 100% of the closing price for a share of TriQuint common stock on such day as reported on the NASDAQ. This provision shall not apply to the employee stock purchase plan.

2. The following clauses shall be inserted/included in any current and/or subsequent equity incentive plan, whether subject to stockholder approval or not: “The exercise price for each option grant shall be at least 100% of the closing market price on the date of grant.”

3. Plans shall comply with legal, professional and ethical requirements for proper disclosure and proper accounting.

4. The plans shall provide appropriate documentation for proper disclosure and accounting.

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 8


5. Plans or Company policies shall identify who is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations by option grantees (e.g., timely and accurate filing of SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5), and shall provide effective monitoring mechanisms to ensure that such laws, and the plans, are followed.

6. The process for granting executive non-cash compensation shall have the same transparency as, and be consistent with, the process and methodology for determining executive cash compensation.

7. Written documentation identifying grantees, amounts and prices of all stock options granted on a particular date shall be complete and final on the date of grant.

8. At least annually the Audit Committee shall meet with the Company’s internal auditors (if any) and independent auditors, to review the Company’s accounting for stock-based compensation and confirm its compliance with GAAP.

 

B. Audit Committee

1. The Company will maintain an independent Audit Committee (the members of which shall be independent, non-employee directors as required by NASDAQ) which reports directly to the Board rather than to executive officers.

(a) All members of the Audit Committee shall be financially literate as may be required by the rules of NASDAQ.

(b) The members of the Audit Committee shall review annually whether an internal audit function independent of the accounting department, and which would report directly to the audit committee, would be a necessary and beneficial augmentation to internal controls.

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 9


(c) The Company will maintain a code of conduct on its website to be reviewed and updated annually by the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Company’s intranet will provide information concerning the whistleblower hotline and protections to whistleblowers.

(d) The Company will provide a whistleblower telephone hotline, with alternative reporting mechanisms including suggestion boxes, a telephone number or email address.

(e) The Company will adopt written policies protecting whistleblowers, and include such policy on the Company’s intranet site.

(f) The Company will routinely remind employees of whistleblower options and whistleblower protections in employee communications provided at least once a year.

(g) The Company will maintain an established internal control framework (e.g., “Internal Control – Integrated Framework; Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission,” 1994) (see also the Treadway Commission’s “Recommendations for the Public Company”).

(h) Management shall annually assess the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls with regard to stock-based compensation and shall report its assessment in the Company’s annual report on internal controls pursuant to section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

C. Shareholder Nominated Director

1. The Governance Committee shall consider all candidates as recommended by a stockholder (or group of stockholders) who own at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and who have held such shares for at least twenty-four months (an “Eligible Stockholder”).

(a) An Eligible Stockholder wishing to recommend a candidate(s) must submit the following not less than 120 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the date the proxy was released to the shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting: (i) a

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 10


recommendation that identifies the candidate and provides contact information; (ii) the written consent of the candidate to serve as a director of the Company, if elected; and (iii) documentation establishing that the shareholder making the recommendation is an Eligible Stockholder.

(b) Upon timely receipt of the required documents, the Corporate Secretary will determine if the shareholder submitting the recommendation is an Eligible Stockholder based on such documents. The Corporate Secretary will inform the shareholder of his or her determination.

(c) If the candidate is to be evaluated by the Governance Committee, the Corporate Secretary will request a resume, a completed director and officer questionnaire, a completed statement regarding conflicts of interest, and a waiver of liability for background check from the candidate. To evaluate the candidate and consider such candidate for nomination by the Board, such documents must be received from the candidate before the first day of March preceding the annual meeting.

(d) If, in the exercise of its business judgment, the Governance Committee determines not to nominate the Eligible Stockholder’s initial candidate, the Governance Committee will inform the Eligible Stockholder of its decision.

 

D. Board of Directors

 

  1. Appointment of New Director

The Company agrees to add a member to the Board of Directors or to replace a member of the Board of Directors within adequate time to propose the new member of the Board in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the next Annual Meeting.

 

  2. Director Independence

At least two thirds of the members of the Board shall be “Independent Directors.” To be deemed “Independent” in any calendar year, a director would have to satisfy the following rules for

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 11


independence. To the extent the NASDAQ rules for independence conflict with these rules, or NASDAQ rules for independence change during the duration of this agreement, NASDAQ rules for independence shall determine whether a director is independent.

“Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. For purposes of this rule, “Family Member” means a person’s spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person’s home.

The following persons shall not be considered independent:

(a) a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company;

(b) a director who accepted or who has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following: compensation for Board or Board Committee service; compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than an Executive Officer) of the Company; or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation;

(c) a director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an Executive Officer;

(d) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an Executive Officer of, any organization to which the Company

 

STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT   Page 12

[PROPOSED] ORDER AND FINAL JUDGMENT  


This matter came before the Court for hearing pursuant to the Order of this Court, dated                 , 2009 (“Order”), on the application of the parties for approval of the proposed settlement (“Settlement”) set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement dated August 12, 2009, and the exhibits thereto (the “Stipulation”);

The Court has reviewed and considered all documents, evidence, objections (if any) and arguments presented in support of or against the Settlement; the Court being fully advised of the premises and good cause appearing therefore, the Court enters this Order and Final Judgment.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that:

1. This Order and Final Judgment incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation, and all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation.

2. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action, including all matters necessary to effectuate the Settlement, and over all Settling Parties.

3. The Court finds that the Notice provided to TriQuint shareholders constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances. The Notice fully satisfied the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 and the requirements of due process.

4. The Court finds that, during the course of the litigation of the Action, the Settling Parties and their respective counsel at all times complied with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and all other similar laws.

5. The Court finds that the terms of the Stipulation and Settlement are fair, reasonable and adequate as to each of the Settling Parties, and hereby finally approves the Stipulation and Settlement in all respects, and orders the Settling Parties to perform its terms to the extent the Settling Parties have not already done so.

6. The Action and all claims contained therein as well as all of the Released Claims, are dismissed with prejudice. The Settling Parties are to bear their own costs, except as otherwise provided in the Stipulation.

7. Upon the Effective Date, as defined in the Stipulation, TriQuint, Plaintiffs (acting on their own behalf and derivatively on behalf of TriQuint), and each of TriQuint’s shareholders (solely in their capacity as TriQuint shareholders) shall be deemed to have, and by operation of this Order and Final Judgment shall have, fully, finally, and forever released, relinquished and discharged the Released Claims against the Released Persons and any and all claims (including Unknown Claims) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, the defense, settlement or resolution of the Action against the Released Persons, provided that nothing herein shall in any way impair or restrict the rights of any Settling Party to enforce the terms of the Stipulation.

8. Upon the Effective Date, as defined in the Stipulation, each of the Released Persons shall be deemed to have, and by operation of this Order and Final Judgment shall have, fully, finally, and forever released, relinquished and discharged each and all of the Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel from all claims (including Unknown Claims) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, the institution, prosecution, assertion, settlement or resolution of the Actions or the Released Claims. Nothing herein shall in any way impair or restrict the rights of any Settling Party to enforce the terms of the Stipulation.

9. The Court hereby approves the Fee and Expense Award in accordance with the Stipulation and finds that such fee is fair and reasonable.

10. Neither the Stipulation nor the Settlement, nor any act performed or document executed pursuant to or in furtherance of the Stipulation or the Settlement: (a) is or may be deemed to be or may be offered, attempted to be offered or used in any way by the Settling Parties or any

The Released Persons may file the Stipulation and/or this Order and Final Judgment in any action that may be brought against them in order to support a defense or counterclaim based on principles of res judicata, collateral estoppel, full faith and credit, release, standing, good faith settlement, judgment bar or reduction, or any other theory of claim preclusion or issue preclusion or similar defense or counterclaim; and any of the Settling Parties may file the Stipulation and documents executed pursuant and in furtherance thereto in any action to enforce the Settlement.

11. Without affecting the finality of this Order and Final Judgment in any way, this Court hereby retains continuing jurisdiction with respect to implementation and enforcement of the terms of the Stipulation.

12. In the event that the Settlement does not become effective in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation, this Order and Final Judgment shall be vacated, and all Orders entered and releases delivered in connection with the Stipulation and this Order and Final Judgment shall be null and void, except as otherwise provided for in the Stipulation.

13. This Order and Final Judgment is a final, appealable judgment and should be entered forthwith by the Clerk in accordance with Rule 58, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
