Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Approval of 2006 Executive Incentive Plan
     On November 8, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2006 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan establishes cash incentive awards that may be earned by senior management approved for participation in the Incentive Plan, including each executive officer of the Company, based on the Company’s achievement of certain corporate goals. The Incentive Plan also establishes a minimum achievement level with respect to the corporate goals necessary for any cash incentives to be awarded under the Incentive Plan. The corporate goals approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company involve achievement of revenue, gross margin, operating income, and quality metrics for fiscal year 2006. Under the Incentive Plan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is eligible to earn a cash incentive award of 100% of his base salary if the Company achieves its target performance metrics, with the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of two times his target award to the extent the Company exceeds its target performance metrics. The Company’s other executive officers are eligible to earn cash incentive awards ranging from 40% to 60% of their respective base salaries if the Company achieves its target performance metrics, with the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of two times their target awards to the extent the Company exceeds its target performance metrics. Upon completion of fiscal year 2006, the Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the Company’s performance goals have been attained, and whether any cash incentive awards should be made.
