Current report

On May 20, 2026, we commenced exchange offers to exchange each series of the Qorvo Notes Tranche notes for new senior notes of the Company. In connection with the exchange offers, we also commenced the solicitation of consents for proposed amendments to the applicable indenture governing each series of the Qorvo Notes Tranche notes. Pursuant to the exchange offers, holders may exchange their Qorvo Notes Tranche notes for newly issued Skyworks senior notes having substantially similar terms. The exchange offers and related consent solicitations are conditioned upon, and expected to be settled following, the consummation of the Mergers. As of June 11, 2026, holders representing a majority of each series of the Qorvo Notes Tranche notes had validly tendered their notes and the requisite consents had been obtained to amend the related indentures. Upon completion of the Mergers, we would become obligated with respect to the outstanding amount of debt represented by the then outstanding Qorvo Notes Tranche notes, either through the issuance of new Skyworks notes pursuant to the exchange offers or the assumption of any then outstanding and unexchanged Qorvo Notes Tranche notes, in each case, subject to the final results of the exchange offers.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into the Bridge Commitment Letter on October 27, 2025, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which committed to provide, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, up to $3,050.0 million of senior unsecured bridge term loans for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash portion of the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, paying related fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, to refinance certain of Qorvo’s senior notes.

Based on our historical results of operations, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand, the cash we expect to generate from operations, and funds from our Revolver, will be sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements primarily arising from: research and development, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, working capital, quarterly cash dividend payments (if such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors), share repurchases, outstanding commitments, and other liquidity requirements associated with existing operations. However, we cannot be certain that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand, cash generated from operations, and funds from our Revolver will be available in the future to fund all of our capital and operating requirements. In addition, any future strategic investments and significant acquisitions may require additional cash and capital resources. If we are unable to obtain sufficient cash or capital to meet our needs on a timely basis and on favorable terms, our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.
