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 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 January 2, 2011. 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 January 1, 2006 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, the reported dates are the last trading dates of our fiscal quarters (which end
on the Sunday closest to March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively) and year (which ends on the Sunday
closest to December 31).
