Stock Performance Graph *
Five-Year Stockholder Return Comparison. The following graph compares the cumulative total
stockholder return on our common stock with that of the Standard & Poors (“S&P”) 500 Stock Index, a broad
market index published by S&P, a selected S&P Semiconductor Company stock index compiled by Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated and the Philadelphia, or PHLX, Semiconductor Index for the five-year period ended
December 28, 2008. These indices, which reflect formulas for dividend reinvestment and weighting of individual
stocks, do not necessarily reflect returns that could be achieved by an individual investor.
The comparison for each of the periods assumes that $100 was invested on December 26, 2003 in our
common stock, the stocks included in the S&P 500 Stock Index, the stocks included in the S&P Semiconductor
Company Stock Index and the stocks included in the PHLX Semiconductor Index, and assumes all dividends are
reinvested. For each reported year, our reported dates are the last trading dates of our fiscal quarters (which ends
on the Sunday closest to March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively) and year (which ends on the Sunday
closest to December 31), and the S&P 500 Stock Index, S&P Semiconductor Company Stock Index and PHLX
Semiconductor Index are based on our fiscal quarters and year.
