based on Fairchild’s management’s estimates and projections and are subject to various risks and uncertainties

Exchange Commission (see the Risk Factors section) and are available at http://sec.gov and investor.fairchildsemi.com

• Some data in this presentation may include non-GAAP measures that we believe provide useful information about the
operating performance of our businesses that should be considered by investors in conjunction with GAAP measures that
we also provide. You can find a reconciliation of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures at the Investor Relations
