Purpose: The FY19 Executive Incentive Plan (the "FY19 Plan") is designed to reward key management for achieving certain financial and business objectives.


2.
Plan Period: The FY19 Plan covers the period from September 29, 2018 through September 27, 2019.


3.
Eligibility: This program applies to the Chief Executive Officer and his direct reporting senior executives.

6.
How the Plan Works: Upon completion of the Fiscal Year, the Chief Executive Officer will provide the Compensation Committee with recommendations for incentive award payments to the named participants of the plan. The Committee will review the recommendations and approve the actual amount to be paid to each participant. The Committee will rely upon the CEO for the appropriate distribution of the authorized incentive pool. All incentive award payments under the FY19 Plan, if earned, will be paid by March 15th of the calendar year following the end of the fiscal year in which the performance occurs.


7.
Administration: Actual performance between the Nominal and Target metrics will be paid on a linear sliding scale beginning at the Nominal percentage and moving up to the Target percentage. The same linear scale will apply for performance between Target and Stretch metrics. In order to fund the incentive plans and insure the overall Company’s financial performance, the following terms apply.

◦
No incentive award will be paid unless the Company meets its threshold operating income goal (in dollars) after accounting for any incentive award payments.

◦
Incentive payments will be processed in a timely manner at the completion of the performance period. Skyworks’ CEO, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, retains discretion to award below nominal or above Stretch and to modify all individual incentive payments to ensure equitable distribution of incentives; such modifications may include, but are not limited to, the delivery of equity or similar instruments in lieu of cash payments.

◦
Any payout shall be conditioned upon the Participant’s employment by the Company on the date of payment; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may make exceptions to this requirement, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the case of a participant’s termination of employment, retirement, death or disability.

◦
Any payments made under this Plan will be subject to the provisions of the compensation clawback policy that Skyworks implements to comply with applicable law following the SEC’s adoption of final rules related to compensation clawback policies as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.


8.
Taxes: All awards are subject to federal, state, local and social security taxes. Payments under this Plan will not affect the base salary, which is used as the basis for Skyworks’ benefits program.
