On February 10, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the “Registrant”), approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Registrant’s Third Amended and Restated By-laws, as Amended (the “By-laws”) to insert into the By-laws a new Article XI which provides that, unless the Registrant consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Registrant, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, other employee, or stockholder of the Registrant to the Registrant or the Registrant’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time) or governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and (b) the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. All other terms of the By-laws remain the same. The Registrant will file a complete copy of the By-laws, as amended, as an exhibit to its next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
