Arrangements will also be made with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse such entities for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith.

NOTICE AND VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
 
Stockholders will receive either a Notice Card or a Proxy Card with overview information regarding the availability of proxy materials over the internet. Stockholders who have not already received and wish to receive a paper or email copy of the proxy materials must request one. There is no charge for requesting a copy.

This proxy enables each stockholder to vote on all matters which are scheduled to come before the meeting. When the proxy card is returned properly executed, the stockholder’s shares will be voted according to the stockholder’s directions. Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the appropriate boxes on the enclosed proxy card. If no choice has been specified, the shares will be voted (i) FOR the election of the Director nominees listed below, (ii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and (iii) FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.
 
Proxies marked as abstaining (including proxies containing broker non-votes) on any matter to be acted upon by the stockholders will be treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast on such matters.

The Board of Directors knows of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

A proxy may be revoked by giving the Secretary of ANADIGICS written notice of revocation at any time before the voting of the shares represented by the proxy. A stockholder who attends the meeting may cancel a proxy at the meeting. Votes will be counted as the majority of the total votes specifically received/voted on each proposal.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), entitled to vote (exclusive of shares held by or for the account of the Company) is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Only holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on March 12, 2014 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

PROPOSAL I: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
The Company’s by-laws provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class consisting as nearly as possible of one third of the total number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors; provided, however, that in no case will a decrease in the number of Directors shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, Directors will be elected for full terms of three years to succeed those Directors whose terms are expiring.

The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election, then those shares voted for such nominee will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee selected by the persons named in the enclosed proxy.

Each of the nominees for Class I Director, Messrs.

INFORMATION REGARDING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION
 
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
 
Periodically, the Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee assess the role of the Chairman of the Board and the Board leadership structure to ensure the interests of the Company and its shareholders are best served.  As a result of this review, the Board took action in March 2013 to combine the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and to also create the role of Lead Independent Director.  Effective as of March 19, 2013, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions were held by Ronald Michels and the position of Lead Independent Director is held by Lewis Solomon. As of the Annual Meeting, and upon Mr. Solomon’s resignation, Mr. Strigl will serve as Lead Independent Director.

In making this determination, the Board took into account:

· Naming Mr. Michels as Chairman would add a substantial strategic perspective to that position;
 
· The combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer role would fully leverage Mr. Michels’ skills and experience, and permit the Board to benefit from his hands-on expertise about the Company; and
 
· Naming Mr. Michels as Chairman, along with the designation of a Lead Independent Director, would provide an important element of continuity to the Board’s leadership structure.
 
In making these judgments, the Board also took into account its evaluation of Mr. Michels’ performance as Chief Executive Officer and President, his very positive relationships with the other members of the Board, and the strategic vision and perspective he would bring to the Chairman position.  The Board was uniformly of the view that Mr. Michels would provide excellent leadership to the Board in the performance of its duties.  Taking all of this into account, the Board concluded that naming him as Chairman of the Board would fully leverage his skill and experience and enable an effective process for Board and leadership succession at ANADIGICS, and would best serve the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

9

The duties of the Lead Independent Director are as follows:

· Preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors at which the Chairman is not present;
 
· Call and chair meetings of the independent Directors;
 
· Provide advice with respect to the selection of Committee Chairs and members; and
 
· Perform such other duties as the Board may from time to time delegate to assist the Board in the fulfillment of its responsibilities.
 
BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
 
The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant Board Committees that report on their deliberations to the Board as well as through direct reports by key management personnel at the Board meetings. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its Committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies.

BOARD MEETINGS AND ATTENDANCE
 
During fiscal 2013 the Board of Directors met five times. The non-employee Directors met on a regular basis in executive sessions without management present. Lewis Solomon, in his role as the Lead Independent Director, presided at the executive sessions held subsequent to March 2013. Each of the Directors attended 100% of the aggregate of all meetings held by the Board and all standing committees on which he served. Last year, six of the Directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
 
The standing committees of the ANADIGICS Board of Directors are as follows:

Governance and Nominating Committee

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for (i) assisting the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become Directors and to recommend to the Board of Directors the director nominees; (ii) recommending members of the Board of Directors to serve on the committees of the Board of Directors; (iii) recommending to the Board of Directors individuals qualified to be elected as officers of the Company; (iv) recommending to the Board of Directors the corporate governance and business ethics policies, principles, guidelines, including succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer in the event of death or disability, and codes of conduct applicable to the Company; and (v) leading the Board of Directors in its annual review of the Board’s performance. Messrs. Fellows, Rein, Solomon and Strigl (chair) were members of the Governance and Nominating Committee during fiscal 2013 and are independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Governance and Nominating Committee met once during the 2013 fiscal year. The Governance and Nominating Committee operates under a written charter and pursuant to corporate governance guidelines posted on the Company’s website at www.anadigics.com.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is established in accordance with applicable securities laws and is responsible for (i) determining the adequacy of the Company’s internal accounting and financial controls, (ii) reviewing the results of the audit of the Company performed by the independent public auditors, and (iii) recommending the selection of independent public auditors. Messrs. Bachow (Chair), Fellows, Rein (from the second quarter 2013), and Rosenzweig (in the first quarter 2013) were members of the Audit Committee during fiscal 2013 and are independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that one member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Bachow, is an audit committee financial expert as described in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K.  The Audit Committee met four times during the 2013 fiscal year. Mr. Bachow’s qualifications as an audit committee financial expert are set forth in his Director profile above. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter posted on the Company’s website at www.anadigics.com.

Bethel Drive, Warren, New Jersey 07059, Attn: Investor Relations. The Committee determines matters pertaining to the compensation of certain executive officers of the Company and administers the Company’s stock option, incentive compensation and employee stock purchase plans.

None of the Committee members is an employee of the Company and all of them are considered “independent” Directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards.
 
The current Committee members are:
 
Harry T. Rein, Committee Chair
 
Lewis Solomon

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
None of the Compensation and HR Committee members is an employee of the Company and all of them are considered “independent” Directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. There were no interlocks or insider participation between any member of the Board of Directors or the Compensation and HR Committee and any member of the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of another company.

DIRECTOR NOMINATION
 
In its assessment of each potential nominee, the Governance and Nominating Committee will review the nominee’s integrity, independence, intelligence and understanding of the Company’s or other related industries and such other factors as the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board of Directors.

Although the Governance and Nominating Committee considers diversity as a factor in assessing the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members, the Board does not have a formal policy with regard to diversity in identifying director nominees. The Governance and Nominating Committee will also take into account the ability of a potential nominee to devote sufficient time to the affairs of the Company.

When seeking to identify nominees for membership on the Board of Directors, the Governance and Nominating Committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent Directors, management, stockholders or others. The Governance and Nominating Committee has the authority to retain any search firm for this purpose. After conducting an initial evaluation of a potential nominee, the Governance and Nominating Committee will interview that nominee if it believes such nominee may be a suitable director. The Governance and Nominating Committee may also ask the potential nominee to meet with management. If the Governance and Nominating Committee believes a potential nominee would be a valuable addition to the Board of Directors, it will recommend that nominee’s election to the full Board of Directors.

Pursuant to its charter, the Governance and Nominating Committee will consider nominees for membership on the Board of Directors recommended by stockholders of the Company and submitted in accordance with the Company’s by-laws to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, NJ 07059. The Company did not receive any nominations for membership on its Board of Directors from stockholders in connection with the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS
 
The Board of Directors has adopted procedures that provide security holders of the Company and other interested parties with the ability to communicate with one or more of the Company’s Directors by mail, care of the Secretary, 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, New Jersey 07059. Such communications should specify the intended recipient or recipients. All such communications, other than unsolicited commercial solicitations or communications, will be forwarded to the appropriate Director or Directors for review.

CODE OF ETHICS

PROPOSAL II: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Audit Committee has retained Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2014. Although stockholder ratification is not required by the Company’s bylaws or under any other applicable legal requirement, the Audit Committee is asking the stockholders for ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders do not ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will take such determination into account in its future selection of an independent registered public accounting firm. Ernst & Young LLP will have a representative present at the Annual Meeting who will have the opportunity to make a statement if such representative desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required for approval of this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accountants of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2014.

PROPOSAL III: THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation
 
Recent Say-on-Pay Voting Results
 
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), in our 2011 Proxy Statement, we provided our stockholders with the opportunity to cast non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s executive officers who are required to file reports pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, (the “Named Executive Officers”) and to determine the frequency of future such “say-on-pay” votes. The say-on-pay proposal was approved by approximately 98% of the votes cast at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held May 12, 2011, and our stockholders expressed a clear (91%) preference for annual say-on-pay votes. Our Board of Directors determined at that time that it would provide our stockholders with annual say-on-pay voting opportunities.  In our 2012 and 2013 Proxy Statements, we again provided our stockholders with the opportunity to cast non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.  The say-on-pay proposal was approved by approximately 88% and 91% of the votes cast at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held May 8, 2012 and May 7, 2013, respectively.
 
We design our executive compensation plans and programs to help us attract, motivate and reward and retain highly qualified executives who are capable of creating sustained value for our stockholders.  We implement compensation programs that promote a performance-based culture and are intended to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.  We encourage you to review the details of our compensation discussion and analysis including the Compensation and HR Committee’s processes and decisions that are described in the following pages.  In summary, the foundation of our executive compensation programs rests on the following principles and best practices:
12

The Compensation and HR Committee is comprised solely of independent directors who are committed to upholding strong governance practices.
 
· The Compensation and HR Committee considers a variety of reports and analyses such as:  market survey data, summaries of existing Named Executive Officer compensation, proxy data of our Peer Group Companies, publicly-available performance data of our Peer Group Companies and reports from the Committees independent compensation consultant and from external proxy advisory agencies when making decisions to establish target compensation opportunities and to deliver actual rewards to our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers.
 
The Compensation and HR Committees decisions on executive pay reflect the challenges and commitments required by our executives in executing our new business plans.
 
· In 2011, declining business performance led the Board of Directors to put an entirely new executive team in place to lead the strategic repositioning of our business.  That business turnaround is still in progress, and not yet completed; however the Company has made great strides towards achieving that goal.
 
· 2012 was a transition year in which revenue from newly developed products began to exceed revenue declines in our legacy product lines during the second half of 2012.
 
· 2013 solidified the turnaround plan originally instituted in 2011. The Company continues to improve its gross margins, cut costs and develop new products, executing to Management’s business plan focused on improving EBITDA performance in the second half of 2014. 
 
· Mindful of the continued goal of obtaining EBITDA breakeven, the Compensation and HR Committee kept 2013 total compensation within a similar range of 2012, except for increases relating to promotions, for each of our Named Executive Officers, even though their individual performances continued to improve.
 
Our compensation plans emphasize long-term performance.
 
· Our program has a balanced-portfolio approach to deliver rewards in cash and equity based on sustained performance over time.  The use of equity awards fosters retention and aligns our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.
 
The Compensation and HR Committee has taken additional steps to link pay and performance.
 
· The Compensation and HR Committee adopted a Pay for Performance policy in 2011 requiring that 100% of any equity granted for short-term incentive awards is performance-based and at least 50% of equity awarded for long-term incentive awards is performance-based.
 
· Awards under our plans are impacted when our performance does not meet threshold levels.  This fact was again demonstrated in 2013 when payouts were significantly less than the target incentives for each half of the year.
 
· 50% of the long-term incentive awarded to our Chief Executive Officer on June 28, 2011 was a performance-based non-qualified stock option.  Vesting is based on the Company’s one-year, two-year and three-year relative total shareholder return compared to that of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index component companies.  The one-year, two-year and three-year relative total shareholder return measurement periods each begin July 1, 2011, and end on June 30, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively.  The portion of this award tied to the one-year and two-year relative total shareholder return was not earned and that portion of the award was cancelled.
 
· 50% of the long-term incentive approved by the Committee for our Chief Executive Officer and then Executive Vice President, Quality and Design Technology on February 16, 2012 was performance-based.  Vesting is based on absolute total shareholder return for the one-year, two-year, and three-year time periods beginning December 31, 2011.  The portion of the award tied to the one-year and two-year absolute total shareholder return was not earned and that portion of the award was cancelled.
 
· 50% of the long-term incentive awards approved by the Committee for our Named Executive Officers in respect of both fiscal years 2012 and 2013, were granted in May 2013  (“May 2013 Grant Date”) and are therefore included in this Proxy Statement. Each such award was performance-based and vest, if at all based on performance, pro-rata over a three year period.
13

· Vesting for the 2013 awards was based on the achievement of certain levels of EBITDA in 2013.   34.83% of this award was earned and will be vesting one third on each of the next three anniversaries of the May 2013 grant date.
 
· For fiscal year 2014, 50% of the long-term incentive awards approved by the Committee for our Named Executive Officers were performance based. These performance based awards will vest, if at all, on a pro-rata basis on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Achievement of the award is based upon the certain levels of relative total shareholder return, which shall be measured as the end of each fiscal year for three years beginning in 2014, as compared to that of our Peer Group Companies as defined by the Company in this Proxy Statement.

We have adopted clawbacks, hedging prohibitions, caps on awards and reviews of stock ownership by Named Executive Officers and Directors.

Hedging Prohibitions - Our insider trading policy prohibits employees, officers and directors from, among other things, engaging in hedging transactions, such as puts, calls, swaps, exchange funds and similar arrangements or instruments designed to hedge or offset decreases in the market value of our securities. No employee, including Named Executive Officers or Directors, may engage in short sales of our securities, or pledge our securities as collateral for a loan.

Clawback Policy - We have adopted a policy providing that in the event that our financials are required to be restated due to a material non-compliance with reporting requirements, and as a result of such restatement a performance measure that was a material factor in determining an incentive award would have resulted in a lower payment to a Named Executive Officer, the Company may recover the excess portion of such award from the Named Executive Officer.

Caps on Awards - Our incentive plans are capped at individual and aggregate levels to eliminate the potential for unintentional windfalls.

Stock Ownership of Named Executive Officers and Directors - To further our objective of aligning the interests of management with shareholders, the Compensation Committee conducts an ongoing review of the levels of Company stock ownership of our Named Executive Officers and Directors. Based upon their Record Date Form 4s, our Named Executive Officers all have a high level of stock ownership with our Chief Executive Officer's beneficial ownership at five times his base salary and the other Named Executive Officers at approximately two times base salary. The Directors, as of our Record Date based on their Form 4s, have holdings at least four times their total cash compensation, including chair and committee fees.

Say on Pay Advisory Vote
 
The Dodd-Frank Act requires that we seek an advisory, non-binding vote of our stockholders on our executive compensation programs, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and the accompanying tables within this Proxy Statement.  This Say-on-Pay advisory vote is intended to provide an overall assessment of our executive compensation program rather than focus on any specific item of compensation. As an advisory vote, this proposal is non-binding. However, the Board and our Compensation and HR Committee, which is responsible for designing and overseeing the administration of our executive compensation program, values the opinions of our stockholders, and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers.

We believe our executive compensation program is designed to motivate and appropriately reward our executives and is aligned with our stockholder’s interest to support long-term growth.  We believe that our compensation program, with its balance of short-term incentives (including cash bonus awards and performance conditions for awards of Restricted Stock Units) and long-term incentives reward sustained performance that is aligned with long-term shareholder interests. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
 
We are asking stockholders for a non-binding vote to approve the following resolution:
 
“RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as such compensation is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure and related material, set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is approved.”

14

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required for approval of this proposal.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
 
The Audit Committee’s policy provides that the Company’s independent registered public accountants may provide only those services pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee. The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the audit, review, attest and permitted non-audit services to be provided during the next audit cycle by the independent accountants. To the extent practicable, at the same meeting the Audit Committee also reviews and approves a budget for each of such services. The term of any such pre-approval is for the period of the annual audit cycle, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period.

Services proposed to be provided by the independent accountants that have not been pre-approved during the annual review and the fees for such proposed services must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee. Additionally, fees for previously approved services that are expected to exceed the previously approved budget must also be pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee.

All requests or applications for the independent auditors to provide services to the Company must be submitted to the Audit Committee or its designated subcommittee by the independent accountants and the Chief Financial Officer and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to auditor independence. In the event that any representative of the Company or the independent accountants becomes aware that any services are being, or have been, provided by the independent accountants to the Company without the requisite pre-approval, such individual must immediately notify the Chief Financial Officer, who must promptly notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee and appropriate senior management so that prompt action may be taken to the extent deemed necessary or advisable.

The Audit Committee may form and delegate to a subcommittee, composed of one or more of its members, the authority to grant specific pre-approval under its policy with respect to audit, review, attest and permitted non-audit services, provided that any such grant of pre-approval shall be reported to the full Audit Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the audit firm to management.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
The Audit Committee, among other things, assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process and monitors the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the independence and performance of the Company’s auditors. In this context, we have reviewed and discussed the Company’s financial statements with Company management and the independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, including matters raised by the independent auditors pursuant to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed such other matters as we deemed appropriate.

The Company’s independent auditors provided the Audit Committee with written disclosures and the letter required by Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence), and we discussed Ernst & Young LLP’s independence with them.

We have considered whether the provision of services by Ernst & Young LLP not related to the audit of the Company’s financial statements and to the review of the Company’s interim financial statements is compatible with maintaining the independent accountant’s independence and have determined that such services have not adversely affected Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, and relying on the representation of Company management and the independent auditor’s report to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Key Compensation Decisions and Committee Processes
 
An entirely new executive team was put in place during 2011 to focus on the strategic repositioning of the business, which team included then President and Chief Executive Officer, Ronald Michels; Senior Vice President, RF Products,  John van Saders; and  Terrence G. Gallagher, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In 2013, additional executive management changes were made to enhance execution of a coordinated growth strategy across the Company’s three business groups and further enable increased manufacturing scale across our process technologies. As of June 2013, Ronald Michels was appointed Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer;  David Cresci was appointed President; John van Saders was appointed Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer; Jerry Miller was appointed Senior Vice President, Cellular Products; and Terrence G. Gallagher continued to serve as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  The Compensation and HR Committee (the “Committee”) established compensation packages for the newly promoted Named Executive Officers (including Messrs. Cresci, Miller and van Saders) in June 2013.  These compensation packages included increases in base salary and short-term incentive awards that recognized the substantial efforts each of Messrs. Cresci, Miller and van Saders had made to date and the efforts each would be making going forward in their new roles.   The Committee’s decisions relied, in part, on market pay data prepared by Towers Watson (formerly known as the Delves Group, “Towers Watson”), an independent advisor to the Committee.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

Ronald Michels, Chairman and CEO - In December 2012, the Committee reviewed and discussed competitive market data for the Chief Executive Officer position.  This data was prepared for the Committee by Towers Watson  using total compensation data from the 2012 Aon/Radford survey database for semiconductor companies with annual revenues between $50 and $500 million, along with the most current proxy data from ANADIGICS’ Peer Group Companies.

After reviewing this data, Mr. Michels’ base salary remained at $463,500 and his target annual incentive (100% of base salary) was re-confirmed by the Committee at market median levels.  The Committee also reviewed data on long-term incentive compensation, including the total stock ownership percentage and dollar value; of the survey and peer group Chief Executive Officers.  After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to award Mr. Michels the following long-term incentive awards for 2013:

- 100,000 Restricted Stock Units (Vesting is time-based over three years)
- 100,000 Restricted Stock Units (Award is performance-based as measured by levels of EBITDA during 2013, and vests, if at all, over three years).  As of February 2014, 34,830 shares were earned and 65,170 of these Restricted Stock Units had been forfeited based on the performance against goals.

Further, bi-annually, the Committee reviews Mr. Michels’ performance as CEO.  Based upon the short-term incentive program described below (See “Components of Compensation – Short Term Incentives”) and his outstanding management leadership, cost reduction efforts, as well as efforts relating to product expansion and top-line revenue growth, for the second half of 2012 and first half of 2013, the Committee awarded Mr. Michels an aggregate of 181,992 time-based Restricted Stock Units during fiscal year 2013, which vested six months after their grant dates.

David Cresci, President - In December 2012, the Committee reviewed and discussed competitive market data for the then VP, WiFi position.  This data was prepared for the Committee by Towers Watson using total compensation data from the 2012 Aon/Radford survey database for semiconductor companies with annual revenues between $50 and $500 million, along with the most current proxy data from ANADIGICS’ Peer Group Companies. After reviewing this data, Mr. Cresci’s base salary remained at $220,000 and his target annual incentive (75% of base salary) was re-confirmed by the Committee at market median levels.

The Committee also reviewed data on long-term incentive compensation, including the total stock ownership percentage and dollar value; of the survey and peer group. After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to award Mr. Cresci the following long-term incentive awards for 2013:

- 25,000 Restricted Stock Units (Vesting is time-based over three years)
- 25,000 Restricted Stock Units (Award is performance-based as measured by levels of EBITDA during 2013, and vests, if at all, over three years). As of February 2014, 8,707 shares were earned and 16,293 of these Restricted Stock Units had been forfeited based on the performance against goals.

In June 2013, when Mr. Cresci was promoted to President from VP, WiFi, the Committee reassessed the data relating to Mr. Cresci’s new role. After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to increase Mr. Cresci’s base salary from $220,000 to $275,000, effective June 17, 2013, and reconfirm his target annual incentive (75% of base salary).  In addition, Mr. Cresci received a long-term incentive award of 100,000 Restricted Stock Units in recognition of his efforts prior to his promotion and in recognition of the efforts he would need to be putting forth in his new role.

Further, bi-annually, the Committee reviews Mr. Cresci’s performance.  Based upon the short-term incentive program described below (See “Components of Compensation – Short Term Incentives”) and his efforts relating to customer retention and product expansion, as well as his corporate management skills displayed upon his promotion, the Committee awarded Mr. Cresci an aggregate of 38,773 time-based Restricted Stock Units during fiscal year 2013, which vested six months after their grant dates.

John van Saders, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer - In December 2012, the Committee reviewed and discussed competitive market data for executive officer level product development and business unit positions.  Additionally, data on the second and third highest paid executive officers, regardless of job role, was also reviewed.  This data was prepared in December 2012 for the Committee by Towers Watson using total compensation data from the 2012 Aon/Radford survey database for semiconductor companies with annual revenues between $50 and $500 million, along with the most current proxy data from ANADIGICS’ Peer Group Companies.

After reviewing this data, the Committee kept Mr. van Saders’ base salary at $288,000 and reconfirmed his target annual incentive (75% of base salary).  The Committee believes that Mr. van Saders’ total cash target compensation is set at market median levels.  The Committee also reviewed data on long-term incentive compensation, including the total stock ownership percentage and dollar value, for the survey and peer group executive officers.  After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to award Mr. van Saders the following two grants.

- 30,000 Restricted Stock Units (Vesting is time-based over three years)
- 30,000 Restricted Stock Units (Award is performance-based as measured by levels of EBITDA during 2013, and vests, if at all, over three years).  As of February 2014, 10,449 shares were earned and 19,551 of these Restricted Stock Units had been forfeited based on the performance against goals.

When Mr. van Saders was promoted from Executive Vice President, Quality and Design Technology to Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, the Committee approved an increase in his base salary to $300,000, effective June 17, 2013. In addition, he received a short-term incentive award of 40,000 Restricted Stock Units in recognition of his efforts prior to his promotion and in recognition of the efforts he would need to be putting forth in his new role.

Further, bi-annually, the Committee reviews Mr. van Saders’ performance. Based upon the short-term incentive program described below (See “Components of Compensation – Short Term Incentives”) and his performance relating to strong operational execution and other cost reduction efforts, the Committee awarded Mr. van Saders an aggregate of 42,893 time-based Restricted Stock Units during fiscal year 2013, which vested six months after their grant dates.

Jerry Miller, Senior Vice President, Cellular Products – In December 2012, the Committee reviewed and discussed competitive market data for the SVP, Cellular Products.  This data was prepared for the Committee by Towers Watson using total compensation data from the 2012 Aon/Radford survey database for semiconductor companies with annual revenues between $50 and $500 million, along with the most current proxy data from ANADIGICS’ Peer Group Companies.  After reviewing this data, the Committee increased Mr. Miller’s base salary $221,000 to $235,000 and reconfirmed his target annual incentive (75% of base salary).  The Committee also reviewed data on long-term incentive compensation, including the total stock ownership percentage and dollar value; of the survey and peer group. After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to award Mr. Miller the following long-term incentive awards for 2013:

- 25,000 Restricted Stock Units (Vesting is time-based over three years)
- 25,000 Restricted Stock Units (Award is performance-based as measured by levels of EBITDA during 2013, and vests, if at all, over three years). As of February 2014, 8,707 shares were earned and 16,293 of these Restricted Stock Units had been forfeited based on the performance against goals.

19

In June 2013, in connection with the Company’s executive reorganization, the Committee reassessed competitive market data for Mr. Miller’s role and also reviewed his performance over 2013. After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to increase Mr. Miller’s base salary from $235,000 to $250,000, effective June 17, 2013, and reconfirm his target annual incentive (75% of base salary).

Further, bi-annually, the Committee reviews Mr. Miller’s performance. Based upon the short-term incentive program described below (See “Components of Compensation – Short Term Incentives”) and the strong results within the cellular business unit under his leadership and his extraordinary efforts relating to customer expansion and retention, the Committee awarded Mr. Miller an aggregate of 67,958 time-based Restricted Stock Units during fiscal year 2013, which vested six months after their grant dates.

Terrence G. Gallagher, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer - In December 2012, the Committee reviewed and discussed competitive market data for the Chief Financial Officer position.  Additionally, data on the second and third highest paid named executive officers, regardless of job role, was also reviewed. Total compensation data from the 2012 Aon/Radford survey database for semiconductor companies with annual revenues between $50 and $500 million, along with the most current proxy data from ANADIGICS’ Peer Group Companies was the source of the data.

After reviewing this data, the Committee increased Mr. Gallagher’s base salary from $240,000 to $250,000 and reconfirmed his target annual incentive (75% of base salary). The total cash target for Mr. Gallagher is at market median levels.  The Committee also reviewed data on long-term incentive compensation, including the total stock ownership percentage and dollar value, for the survey and peer group executive officers. After reviewing this data, the Committee elected to award Mr. Gallagher the following long-term incentive awards for 2013:

- 30,000 Restricted Stock Units (Vesting is time-based over three years)
- 30,000 Restricted Stock Units (Award is performance-based as measured by levels of EBITDA during 2013, and vests, if at all, over three years).  As of February 2014, 10,449 shares were earned and 19,551 of these Restricted Stock Units had been forfeited based on the performance against goals.

Further, bi-annually, the Committee reviews Mr. Gallagher’s performance as CFO. Based upon the short-term incentive program described below (See “Components of Compensation – Short Term Incentives”) and his great efforts in moving the Company closer to EBITDA breakeven, for the second half of 2012 and first half of 2013, the Committee awarded Mr. Gallagher an aggregate of 32,494 time-based Restricted Stock Units during fiscal year 2013, which vested six months after their grant dates.

2013 Performance

Fiscal year 2013 represented a year of strategic repositioning of the Company.

· Over the course of the year we increased the size of our serviceable addressed markets in three growth areas by capitalizing on the expanding use of WiFi for high data rate connectivity in a wide range of mobile devices, the accelerated transition to 3G/4G Cellular networks, carrier deployment of small cell networks, and Infrastructure upgrades and emerging market deployments in the CATV market.  New products launched or developed in 2013 should double our addressable market size in 2014.
 
· We increased our year over year revenue by 19%.
 
· We increased our WiFi revenue more than 700% from 2012 to 2013.
 
· Throughout 2013, we have launched new 802.11n and 802.11ac WiFi infrastructure power amplifiers to strong customer demand.
20

· Our wireline broadband infrastructure products not only deliver exceptional performance, but also provide world-class reliability.  We leveraged this heritage and knowhow when developing our new GaAs MESFET and GaN portfolio of infrastructure amplifiers.  These solutions provide a high-performance path to DOCSIS 3.1 by offering exceptional linearity and noise figure performance over extended frequencies.
 
· The transition to 3G and 4G data services, especially in China and emerging markets, continues to accelerate.  We are leveraging this growth trend by utilizing our unique technology and innovative design techniques to successfully refresh our product portfolio with differentiated solutions.
 
- ProEfficientTM, ProEfficient PlusTM and ProVantageTM

· Our small-cell power amplifier family provides the industry’s best combination of integration, output power, linearity and efficiency to enable base stations with greater range, higher throughput, and more thermally efficient designs.
 
· We accelerated the product design and manufacturing transition to ILD as the primary wafer process technology for performance (linearity, efficiency) cost, capacity, and cycle-time benefits.
 
· We continued the conversion of our product portfolio to a newer, more profitable revenue mix while continuing to reduce product costs and operating expenses.
 
Use of a Compensation Consultant

To support the Committee in fulfilling its duties, the Committee has hired an independent consultant in the field of executive compensation to assist with its design and evaluation of CEO and executive officer compensation.  Pursuant to the Committee’s charter, the Committee is authorized to retain and terminate any consultant, as well as approve the consultant’s fees and term of retention.  During fiscal year 2013, the Committee retained the services of Towers Watson (formerly The Delves Group) to assist with a comprehensive review of the CEO and other executive officers’ compensation.  The Committee considered Towers Watson’s recommendations, along with the recommendations of Company management, in setting our executives’ fiscal year 2013 total overall compensation.  Towers Watson provided analysis and recommendations to the Committee. Towers Watson performed no other services for the Company in 2013.  The direct engagement of Towers Watson by the Committee ensures that the consultant’s advice remains objective and is not influenced by Company Management.  In addition, the Committee specifically reviewed the consultant’s independence and found Towers Watson to be an independent advisor with no conflicts of interest.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES AND PHILOSOPHY
 
General Philosophy
 
The objectives of our compensation program are to: (i) attract, motivate and retain talented executives; (ii) align the financial interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders; and (iii) pay for performance.  We achieve these objectives through the development of compensation packages that provides the Company’s executive officers with compensation opportunities and incentives that are based upon the financial performance of the Company, and the executive’s personal contributions to that performance, through a mix of base salary and equity incentives.  The Company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry with short product cycles. Our compensation opportunities are designed to be competitive enough to attract and retain highly skilled individuals, and to align management’s incentives with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

Our Company operates in an intensely competitive, people-focused business. Our employees play a pivotal role in determining our ability to provide excellence to our customers. Therefore, attracting, retaining and motivating top-performing employees is critical to our ongoing success. The Committee recognizes this and spends considerable time, effort and resources ensuring that we have highly motivated, fully committed and top-caliber staff. We want our employees to excel within an open and transparent corporate culture, where people are intellectually stimulated and have the opportunity to work with other high-performing and accomplished colleagues. Thus, we view our compensation program both as an essential tool in these efforts and also as a vehicle to encourage behavior consistent with our culture.

21

Target Market Position Versus Peer Group Companies - The Committee seeks to set our executives’ aggregate compensation, including salary, short-term and long-term incentives, and benefits, at levels competitive with our peer group in the semiconductor industry (“Peer Group Companies”), many of which are included in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. In addition, because we frequently compete for executive talent with companies outside of those companies included in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, the Compensation Committee reflecting comments from our compensation consultant, Towers Watson, chose to benchmark our compensation against the Peer Group Companies as opposed to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index based on several criteria, including similar Analog, Mixed Signal and radio frequency (“RF”) semiconductor technology use, size, growth rates, similar financial performance, industry leadership status, innovation, and the extent to which they compete with us for executive talent.

We strongly believe that it is essential to the long-term success of the Company to engage the best executive talent, particularly with regard to the core competency of the Company, analog radio frequency. This competency represents a small and unique expertise within the semiconductor industry. Analog radio frequency expertise is quite different from digital expertise which represents the vast majority of the semiconductor field. The Company believes that due to the unique nature of the analog radio frequency expertise required in its business that total compensation should under normal economic circumstances be benchmarked at the 50th percentile of the compensation surveys and data of a peer group that specifically includes direct competitors in the RF market.

Based upon review of our compensation programs, those of our RF analog semiconductor peers, and our assessment of individual and corporate performance, we believe that the value and design of our executive compensation programs were at market relative to our Peer Group Companies.

Peer Group Companies

An important element of the Committee’s determinations involves competitive benchmarking.  Each year, the Company reviews the appropriateness of its peer group companies and participates in compensation and pay practice surveys of our semiconductor peer companies in order to assess the competitiveness of our compensation practices.  After a review by the Committee’s consultant, Towers Watson, the 2013 fiscal year peer group was revised to include two additional peers: Inphi Corporation and NeoPhotronics Corporation.  Currently our Peer Group Companies are comprised of the following companies for purposes of pay and performance benchmarking:

·    Applied Micro Circuits Corporation
·    MaxLinear, Inc.
·    Cavium, Inc.
·    Micrel, Inc.
·    DSP Group, Inc.
·    Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.
·    Entropic Communications, Inc.
·    Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.
·    Exar Corporation
·    NeoPhotonics Corporation
·    GSI Technology, Inc.
·    Pericom Semiconductor Corporation
·    Hittite Microwave Corporation
·    Rubicon Technology, Inc.
·    Ikanos Communications Inc.
·    Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation
·    Inphi Corporation
 

Towers Watson further recommended and the Committee agreed, that the additional companies listed below be grouped with the Peer Group Companies for purposes of tracking pay policy and practice trends:

·    Cirrus Logic, Inc.
·    Silicon Laboratories, Inc.
·    RF Micro Devices, Inc.
·    Skyworks Solutions, Inc.
·    Semtech Corporation
·    Triquint Semiconductor, Inc.

The Committee requested that Towers Watson continue to periodically review the current list of Peer Group Companies to assure that the appropriate companies are represented.

22

Benchmarking Information

In developing our compensation programs and policies, the Committee utilizes information obtained from surveys such as the AON/Radford Executive Compensation Survey, Equilar Top 20 Survey, peer company proxy statements, and information gathered directly from other technology company survey resources. The Committee also tracks the performance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index and Nasdaq, and uses this information in the establishment of Company goals and individual compensation determinations.

COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT

In designing and administering the executive compensation program, the Committee strives to balance short/long-term incentive objectives and use prudent judgment in establishing performance criteria, evaluating performance and determining actual incentive awards. The Committee, with periodic guidance from its compensation consultant, assesses and discusses the balance of risk and reward of all of its compensation programs in relation to the Company’s overall business strategy on a regular basis. These programs include the Company’s stock option, incentive compensation, and employee stock purchase plans.

The Committee has concluded that the Company’s compensation programs do not encourage its executives or other employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks, and are not reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company. In reaching its conclusion, the Committee considered the attributes of our programs, including:

- The balance between annual and long-term performance opportunities.
 
- The alignment of annual and long-term incentive award objectives to ensure that both types of awards encourage consistent behaviors and sustainable performance results.
 
- Performance measures tied to key measures of short-term and long-term performance that motivate sustained performance.
 
- The existence of share-based compensation through the long-term equity incentive compensation component, which the Committee believes encourages appropriate decision-making that is aligned with the long-term interests of stockholders.
 
- The performance goals of revenue, adjusted earnings and adjusted cashflow from operations diversify the risks associated with any single indicator of performance.
 
Additionally, the Committee reviewed existing policies, which are believed to encourage diligent and prudent decision-making and review processes.  For example, the processes that are in place to manage and control risk include:

- The Board approves the Company’s Strategic Plan, Capital Budget, and Long-Term Plan which serves as the basis for short- and long-term goal-setting.
 
- During its goal-setting process, the Committee considers prior year performance relative to future expected performance to assess the reasonableness of goals.
 
- The Committee retains discretion in administering all awards and performance goals, and in determining performance achievement.
 
- The Committee believes the Company maintains a value driven ethics based culture supported by a strong tone at the top.
 
COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION
 
The components of the compensation program for Named Executive Officers are described below.

Base Salary: Base salaries are determined based on a variety of factors, including the executive’s scope of responsibilities, a competitive market assessment of compensation for similar roles at other semiconductor companies, and a comparison of salaries paid to peers within the Company.  Base salaries are currently at levels that approximate the 50th percentile based on the Aon/Radford semiconductor industry survey. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may or may not be adjusted. These compensation levels are aligned with our compensation philosophy of targeting the 50th percentile of our benchmark peer group and allow the Company to attract and retain superior leaders that the Company believes will allow it to deliver on its business goals.

23

The CEO recommends base salaries for each other executive. When setting the base salaries for executives other than the CEO, the Committee considers recommendations from the CEO, reviews market pay information, and makes a final determination based on the factors listed above and such executive’s performance during the year. The Committee makes an independent determination for the CEO’s compensation.

During the 2013 fiscal year, Messrs. Cresci, van Saders and Miller received base salary changes which became effective June 17, 2013.  As of December 31, 2013 the salaries for the Named Executive Officers were:

Short-Term Incentives: Short-term incentives are “results oriented”. These incentives are discretionary and the process is reviewed annually by the Committee.  The payment of short-term incentives is based on our financial results and the individual executive’s performance as measured against the achievement of strategic or operational goals established by management and the Committee prior to the commencement of the relevant measurement period. In order to implement its philosophy that executives be rewarded for achieving positive financial results and other strategic goals, the Committee reviews and approves the design of the short-term incentive plan which significantly affects the total compensation of our executives depending on our success in meeting semi-annual financial and strategic goals. The Committee has the authority to make any changes it deems necessary in the semi-annual short-term incentives provided to our executives.

Target Incentives - The short-term incentive plan is applicable to all our employees, including our Named Executive Officers. In 2013, the short-term incentive targets calculated on a semi-annual basis for our current Named Executive Officers were:

- Chief Executive Officer: 100% of base salary
- President: 75% of base salary
- Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer: 75% of base salary
- Senior Vice President, Cellular Products: 75% of base salary
- Vice President & Chief Financial Officer: 75% of base salary

Performance Measures - It is the Company’s policy that each of the Named Executive Officers and other eligible employees receive information on their individual compensation components, the corresponding measures, and information on how each plan or program works. This information is provided periodically by the Company’s Human Resources Department.

2013 Performance Goals - For the 2013 short-term incentive plan, the Committee selected financial goals related to revenue, adjusted earnings and adjusted cashflow from operations. The award of short-term incentives for the CEO and CFO in 2013 are weighted such that the achievement of goals related to revenue, adjusted earnings and adjusted cashflow from operations account for 45%, 45% and 10%, respectively, of such awards.

The short-term incentive plan financial goals are established by the Compensation and HR Committee based upon the Company’s semi-annual financial plan which is approved by the Board of Directors. In 2013, the Board met in February and July and approved the Company’s 2013 semi-annual financial plans. The Compensation and HR Committee selected financial goals for the short-term incentive plan consisting of revenue, adjusted earnings (adjusted to exclude the value of stock based compensation, depreciation, interest and other unusual or nonrecurring adjustments as determined by the Committee), and adjusted cashflow from operations (adjusted earnings modified for interest, movements in working capital, certain asset acquisition and/or disposition activities and other unusual or nonrecurring adjustments as determined by the Committee).

24

The financial performance targets established by the Committee under the Short-term Incentive Plan for 2013 are based on our historical operating results and growth rates as well as our expected future results, and are designed to require significant effort and operational success on the part of our executives and the Company.  The financial performance caps established by the Committee have historically been difficult to achieve and are designed to represent outstanding performance that the Committee believes should be rewarded.  Although, the Committee retains the discretion in extraordinary circumstances to make payments even if threshold performance levels are not met or to make payments in excess of the maximum level if the Company’s performance exceeds the performance caps it has only exercised this discretion when making ad hoc awards relating to promotions or an extraordinary change in job responsibility.   The Committee believes it is appropriate to retain this discretion in order to make short-term incentive awards in extraordinary circumstances.

The determination of whether a short-term incentive has been earned and will be paid for a semi-annual period is based upon whether the specific financial goal has been achieved, the absolute level of the economic performance of the business, as well as overall business conditions at the time of the short-term incentive payments.  Each financial goal has a minimum achievement threshold performance relating to 50% of the goal’s target incentive, below which there will be no incentive funding associated with that goal. In addition, each individual financial goal has a maximum achievement cap of 150%, above which there is no additional short-term incentive attributable to the achievement of such financial goal; provided, however, that the total payment of short-term incentives to an executive officer for a particular interim period shall in no case exceed 120% of the aggregate eligible short-term incentive payable to such executive officer for such period, unless such additional payments are approved by the Committee.

The Company’s Human Resources Department calculates the short-term incentive payments payable to executive officers based on the achievement of the semi-annual short-term incentive targets and specific strategic or operational goals.  Following each semi-annual period, the CEO makes recommendations for short-term incentive payments for each executive officer, excluding the CEO. The Committee considers recommendations from the CEO and makes a final determination based on the results achieved for the executive officers other than the CEO. The Committee, in a closed door session, decides on the short-term incentive award payable to the CEO.

Form of Short-Term Incentive Awards - From 2005 through fiscal year 2013, the Company has used varying combinations of cash and/or restricted stock or Restricted Stock Units as the basis for its semi-annual short-term incentive awards.  When restricted stock or Restricted Stock Units have been awarded, the awards have been made with six-months to one-year vesting periods. The use of equity for this purpose has allowed the Company to conserve cash to fund its growth, as well as better align the short term incentive payout with the shareholder value created in the following performance period. The Company may increase the use of cash payments for the semi-annual (short-term) incentives as deemed appropriate by the Committee.

The Committee determined that for 2013 semi-annual incentive distributions for the Named Executive Officers were to be entirely made in Restricted Stock Units. The semi-annual equity awards payable to the Company’s executive officers were reviewed and determined by the Committee in meetings held in July 2013 and February 2014, respectively.

2013 Achievement against Performance Goals - The specific financial performance targets for the first-half and second-half of the 2013 short-term incentive plan, respectively, were revenue of $63.5 million and $79.0 million, adjusted (loss)/earnings of ($17.9) million and ($9.2) million and adjusted cashflow from operations of $(21.2) million) and $(14.0) million.  For the first and second half of 2013, respectively, actual revenue was $60.9 million and $73.3 million, adjusted earnings were $(19.5) million and $(10.9) million and adjusted cashflow from operations was $(28.2) million and $(13.8) million.

25

The grants for 2013 were based on the Committee’s review of the financial performance targets and their discussions with the Compensation Consultant of incentive levels within the peer group and general market conditions. The net results of the Committee’s decisions were full-year short-term incentive awards ranging from 50% to 65% of the Named Executive Officers annual target incentives.  The awards are further described in the following 2013 short-term incentive award table:

Future Performance Goals - Because the market in which we operate is highly competitive with, among other items, product development, talent recruitment, accessibility of materials, customer relationships, and profitability subject to rapid competitive developments, it is our practice not to reveal forward-looking commercial and financial information relating to our business goals, plans or strategies which could result in competitive harm to us. Our 2013 goals for revenue, adjusted earnings, and adjusted cashflow from operations were derived from a combination of internal operating plans and an assessment of the rate of overall growth in our markets. As an indication of the level of difficulty in achieving overall performance objectives, the following level of short-term incentive payouts has been achieved in the past four fiscal years:

Fiscal Year
Range of Achievement
2013
50 to 65%
2012
9% to 50%
2011
14% to 15%
2010
90% to 112%

Long-Term Incentives: Long-term equity incentives, including stock options, restricted stock, Restricted Stock Units, and stock purchase rights granted pursuant to our equity compensation and stock purchase plans, directly align the interests of our stockholders and the economic interests of our executive officers and other eligible employees. Stock options and Restricted Stock Units are both strong incentives because they encourage employees to work to increase the Company’s stock price. Recipients of stock option grants realize value only if the fair market value of our common stock increases above the exercise price of such options, which is set at the fair market value of our common stock on the date such option is granted. The fair market value of Restricted Stock Units is based on the closing price on date of grant. In addition, employees must remain employed with us for a fixed period of time in order for the options or Restricted Stock Units to fully vest. Options and/or Restricted Stock Units are granted to employees and executives following a yearly review of individual performance and consideration of the individual’s long-term value to the Company. Stock options generally vest over a period of three years with one-third vesting on the anniversary of the first full year of each grant and quarterly vesting in the remaining two years. Restricted Stock Units generally vest over a period of three years with one-third vesting at the end of each twelve-month period commencing with the date of grant.

26

The Company believes that it is important to find an appropriate balance between our need to provide effective equity incentives to our employees on the one hand, and on the other hand, the potential resulting dilution to our stockholders and the accounting and administrative impact of issuing such awards due to equity compensation accounting rules. When an award has a per share exercise or purchase price lower than  the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, we refer to it as a “full-value award”.  Since 2011, the Company has primarily granted full-value awards to the Named Executive Officers, as the Committee believes they currently offer better retention value than stock options and better align employees with our stockholders over the long term.

Since 2011, the Company has primarily granted full-value awards to the Named Executive Officers, as the Committee believes they better align employees with our stockholders over the long term and currently offer better retention value than stock options.

Annual Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards for Fiscal 2013 - At its December 4, 2012 meeting, in accordance with its Pay for Performance Policy (see section on Other Compensation Policies and Practices), the Committee approved, the award of 420,000 Restricted Stock Units to the Named Executive Officers set forth opposite their names as of May 2013. 50% of the Restricted Stock Units will have time-based vesting conditions and 50% will have performance-based vesting conditions.  The Committee approved these long-term incentive awards after discussions with their Compensation Consultant and examining Peer Group Company compensation levels as well as the Company’s past practices and current and anticipated performance levels.  The Committee also considered the Company’s business conditions as well as general market conditions.

2013 Long-Term Incentive Award Calculation

The performance vesting Restricted Stock Units based upon fiscal year 2013 performance period will vest based upon achievement of certain levels of EBITDA, as described below, at the end of fiscal year 2013 as well as the level of EBITDA as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.   After discussions with the Compensation Consultant and management, the Committee elected to use EBITDA as the metric for these performance awards because it was the primary and most important financial driver the Company was focused upon.

27

The Q4’13 targets ranged from $(1.0) - $(5.0) million with a performance achievement range of 50 – 100% depending on the EBITDA dollars achieved.  Full year 2013 targets ranged from $(22.5) - $(35.0) million with a performance achievement range of 50 – 100% depending on the EBITDA dollars achieved.

2014 Long-Term Incentive Award Calculation
 
In February 2014, the Committee modified the structure of the performance-based awards to further align shareholder and management incentives.  The performance calculation used in determining whether the long-term performance-based restricted stock unit award has been earned shall be Company’s one-year, two-year and three-year relative total shareholder return compared to that of the Peer Group Companies listed under Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy – Peer Group Companies. The Committee carefully selected the relative total shareholder return metric because the Committee and Board felt it was important for the Company to generate total shareholder return at the median of the peer group, an objective which had not been reached in recent years.

OTHER COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Hedging Prohibitions - We have an insider trading policy, which among other things prohibits employees, officers, and directors from engaging in any speculative or hedging transactions in our securities.  These “Hedging Prohibitions” were adopted and added to the policy at the Committee’s February 2012 meeting.

ANADIGICS considers it improper and inappropriate for those employed by the Company to engage in short-term, speculative transactions, including derivatives or hedges, in or related to the Company’s securities or in other transactions in the Company’s securities that may lead to inadvertent violations of the insider trading laws.

Hedging transactions such as puts, calls, collars, swaps, forward sales contracts, exchange funds, and similar arrangements or instruments designed to hedge or offset decreases in market value of ANADIGICS’ securities are prohibited.

No employee, including Named Executive Officers, or directors may engage in short sales of ANADIGICS securities, hold ANADIGICS securities in a margin account or pledge ANADIGICS securities as collateral for a loan as both create the potential for inadvertent violations of insider trading laws (i.e. margin calls or loan foreclosures).

Clawback Policy - The Board of Directors may recover incentive compensation paid to any current or former Named Executive Officer of the Company when each of the following conditions apply:

The Company’s financial statements are required to be restated due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws (other than a restatement due to a change in accounting rules);
 
As a result of such restatement, a performance measure that was a material factor in determining the incentive award is restated; and
 
A lower payment would have been made to the executive officer based on the restated financial results.
 
The Clawback policy applies to all annual incentive and other performance-based compensation paid on or after February 16, 2012 and the recovery period is the three year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the accounting restatement.
 
Executive and Director Stock Ownership - The Board of Directors believes that Directors and Named Executive Officers should have a significant stake in ANADIGICS stock to align their interests with those of ANADIGICS’ stockholders.  To further this objective, the Committee periodically reviews stock ownership levels for our Named Executive Officers and Directors.

As of February 2014, the Committee’s assessment of stock and beneficial ownership levels among our executives is that (i) a significant portion of our executives’ personal investment portfolios consist of our Company’s stock; and (ii) the stock ownership levels of our Named Executive Officers are appropriate when compared to similarly situated executives at our Peer Group Companies.

As of March 12, 2014 based on the most recent Form 4 filings, Director stock ownership was:

Ronald Rosenzweig
253,407 shares
 
Paul Bachow
256,410 shares
*
Lew Solomon
 234,146 shares
 
Harry Rein
204,246 shares
 
David Fellows
 195,611 shares
 
Denny Strigl
173,588 shares
 
Total Directors
 1,317,408 shares
 

35

* Includes 166,410 shares of Common Stock held in the "The Bachow Family Trust dtd 11/16/2012".

From a benchmarking standpoint, as of our Record Date our Directors have holdings at least four times their total cash compensation, including chair and committee fees.

As of March 12, 2014 based on the most recent Form 4 filings, Named Executive Officer stock ownership was:

Ronald Michels
1,366,846 shares
David Cresci
562,683 shares
John van Saders
400,644 shares
Jerry Miller
244,330 shares
Terrence G. Gallagher
297,466 shares

From a benchmarking standpoint, as of the Record Date based on our most current Form 4s, our Named Executive Officers all have a high level of stock ownership, with our Chief Executive Officer's ownership at five times his base salary and the other Named Executive Officers ownership at approximately two times base salary.

We will continue to monitor Named Executive Officer stock ownership levels compared to our Peer Group Companies on an ongoing basis.

Timing of Equity Awards - It has been our practice to grant Long-Term Incentive awards following the first Committee meeting of the fiscal year.  When equity is used as all or a portion of the award pool for our semi-annual Short-Term Incentives, it has been the Company’s practice to approve the awards at Committee meetings held on or approximating our Q2 and Q4 earnings releases.

Pay for Performance Policy - The ANADIGICS Board of Directors believes that a substantial portion of equity awards to Named Executive Officers should be performance-based. We have adopted, effective February 16, 2012, a Pay for Performance Policy, which among other things, requires that any equity granted for short-term incentive awards is 100% performance-based and that any equity granted for long-term incentive awards is at least 50% performance-based.

Short-term incentive plan performance measures include:

- Revenue Achievement (vs. Plan)
- Adjusted Earnings Achievement (vs. Plan)
- Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations Achievement (vs. Plan)

Long-term incentive plan performance measures, in recent years, have included total stockholder return measures, which span multiple years:

- Relative TSR  (vs. a pre-defined peer group)
- Absolute TSR
- EBITDA
- Revenue
- Gross Profit
- Design Wins

Section 162(m) - Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we may not receive a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to the CEO and the next three most highly compensated executive officers to the extent that any of these persons receives more than $1,000,000 in compensation in any one year. However, if we pay compensation that is treated as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), we can receive a federal income tax deduction for the compensation paid even if such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 in a single year.  Our 2005 Plan is stockholder-approved and stock options granted under the 2005 plan are intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation”.  The Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible on our federal income tax returns.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS, AND SEPARATION AGREEMENTS

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
Ron Michels – Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  The Company announced on March 28, 2011 it appointed Ronald Michels, to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director.  In connection with his appointment, Mr. Michels and the Company entered into an employment agreement, accepted April 15, 2011 (the “Initial Agreement”), with a term expiring on December 31, 2013. In June 2013, the Company announced that in connection with an executive reorganization, Mr. Michels was appointed Chairman of the Board.  He was appointed Chief Executive Officer in March 2011. On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an amended employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Michels, which replaced the Initial Agreement.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the term commenced on October 1, 2013 and terminates on December 31, 2015 (the “Stated Termination Date”), unless  either Mr. Michels or the Company, on or subsequent to September 30, 2014 provides the other party with a 90-day advance written notice to terminate the Agreement in which event the Agreement will terminate on the 91st day, with Mr. Michels agreeing to serve as Chairman of the Board for 12 months beginning on such date (the “Early Termination Date”), if the Board of Directors so requests.

Under the terms of the Agreement, if the Company terminates Mr. Michels without “Cause” or in the event of  a “Change in Control” which results in either the involuntary termination without “Cause” of his employment with the Company or Mr. Michels’ voluntary resignation from the Company due to a reduction in responsibilities and duties associated with his position, or reduction in base salary, plus bonus at target, (without the prior express written consent of Mr. Michels), he shall be entitled to (A) an amount equal to 200% of the sum of (i) the highest annualized rate of his base salary in effect at any point during the twelve months preceding the date of termination of employment plus (ii) his bonus at target of 110% of the highest annualized rate of his base salary in effect at any point during the twelve months preceding the date of termination of employment (to be paid on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of termination under the Agreement), (B) payment of the semi-annual bonus (at 100% of target prorated for the number of months worked in that period to be paid on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of termination under the Agreement), (C) medical and dental insurance benefits for a maximum of twelve months, (D) executive outplacement services for up to six months, and (E) immediate vesting of (i) all stock options and (ii) all shares of restricted stock and Restricted Stock Units granted prior to termination of employment to the extent earned if performance based.

 If Mr. Michels’ employment terminates on the Stated Termination Date or the Early Termination Date, he is entitled to (x) the immediate vesting of his stock options, restricted stock and Restricted Stock Units that would have vested within twelve months of the expiration date of the Agreement and (y) an amount equal to the highest annualized rate of his base salary in effect at any point during the twelve months preceding the date of termination of employment (to be paid on the date that is sixty days after the date of termination under the Agreement) and (z) payment of any short-term incentive bonus for the year ending on the Stated Termination Date or the Early Termination Date, which  has been awarded and earned in accordance with the Company’s normal course, but not yet paid (to be paid at the time such bonuses are otherwise payable under the terms of the applicable plan for active executives).

David Cresci - President.  The Company announced on June 12, 2013 it appointed David J. Cresci, to serve as President.  In connection with his appointment, Mr. Cresci and the Company continued his employment agreement which was accepted on January 14, 2013 (the “Agreement”), for a term expiring December 31, 2015 (the “Stated Termination Date”) (the “Agreement”), which term will automatically be extended on an annual basis on each anniversary of the Stated Termination Date (“Anniversary Termination Date”) provided that neither Mr. Cresci nor the Company notifies the other party in writing prior to the September 30 preceding such Stated Termination Date or Anniversary Termination Date that such party elects not to extend the Agreement.

37

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2015 ANNUAL MEETING

If a stockholder of the Company wishes to have a proposal included in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proposal must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices by November 28, 2014 and must otherwise comply with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy material for the 2015 Annual Meeting. If a stockholder desires to bring business before the meeting which is not the subject of a proposal complying with the SEC proxy rule requirements for inclusion in the proxy statement, the stockholder must follow procedures outlined in the Company’s by-laws in order to personally present the proposal at the meeting. A copy of these procedures is available upon request from the Secretary of the Company.

One of the procedural requirements in the Company’s by-laws is timely notice in writing of the business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting. Notice of business proposed to be brought before the 2015 Annual Meeting or notice of a proposed nomination to the Board must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than 90 days before the first anniversary date of this Proxy Statement, to be presented at the meeting. If, however, the date of next year’s Annual Meeting is earlier than April 12, 2015, or later than June 11, 2015, the earliest date will be determined by the Board of Directors. Any such notice must provide the information required by the Company’s by-laws with respect to the stockholder making the proposal, the nominee (if any) and the other business to be considered (if any). Under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company, acting through the persons named as proxies in the proxy materials for such meeting, may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any proposals that do not comply with the procedures described above. Proposals may be mailed to the Company, to the attention of the Secretary, 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, NJ 07059.

HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS

Some banks, brokers or other nominee record holder may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports.  This means that only one copy of our proxy statement may have been sent to multiple stockholders in the same household.  We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to any shareholder upon request submitted in writing to the Company to the attention of the Secretary, 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, New Jersey 07059.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other business which will be presented at the meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
