Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR 2008 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN

On November 6, 2007, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") approved the Fiscal Year 2008 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 named executive officers of the Company, based on the Company’s achievement of certain corporate goals on a semi-annual basis. The Incentive Plan also establishes minimum performance thesholds with respect to the corporate goals that must be achieved before any cash incentives are awarded under the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan's semi-annual corporate goals, which are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company, involve achievement of certain revenue, gross margin, operating income, cash management, and quality metrics for the first and second half of fiscal year 2008.

Under the Incentive Plan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is eligible to earn cash incentive awards equaling 100% of his base salary for the fiscal year 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 named executive officers are eligible to earn cash incentive awards equaling sixty percent (60%) of their respective base salaries for the fiscal year 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 the first six months of fiscal year 2008, the Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the Company’s performance goals have been attained for the first half of the fiscal year, and whether any cash incentives should be awarded. Upon completion of the second half of the fiscal year, the Compensation Co mmittee will complete the same process. Twenty percent (20%) of any award made for the first half of the fiscal year will be held back and paid after year-end only if the nominal operating income goal for the full fiscal year is met.

APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

On November 6, 2007, the Company made performance share awards under the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain of its employees, including the following named executive officers of the Company in the amounts indicated below:

NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER......................................................MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE SHARES
David J. Aldrich, President & CEO................................................................................450,000
Donald W. Palette, VP & CFO.........................................................................................52,500
Liam K. Griffin, Senior VP, Sales and Marketing..........................................................150,000
Gre gory L. Waters, Exec. VP & GM, Front-End Solutions.............................................60,000

Receipt of performance shares is tied to three (3) stock price appreciation targets to be achieved during a three-year performance period ending on November 6, 2010. Specifically, one third (1/3) of the total performance shares will be earned upon each incremental twenty percent (20%) increase in the Company’s stock price over the 60-day trading average of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the date of grant (the "Base Price"), such that one hundred percent (100%) of the total performance shares would be earned if the Company’s stock price (based on a rolling 60-day trading average) increases at least sixty percent (60%) over the Base Price during the performance period. In addition, an executive must continue service through the end of the performance period in order to receive any performance shares. If the stock price does not increase at least twenty-percent ( 20%) over the Base Price during the performance period, no shares will be issuable pursuant to an award.
