of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Fiscal Year 2018 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award Targets
and Performance Criteria>
On May 11, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the
Board of Directors (the Board) of Qorvo, Inc. (the Company)
approved awards of performance-based restricted stock units
(Awards) in accordance with the Qorvo, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive
Plan, as amended (the 2012 Plan), to each of the Company’s current
executive officers. The purpose of these Awards is to link a
portion of each executive officers equity compensation to
achievement of key Company initiatives that the Committee believes
have a strong potential to impact longer-term stockholder value
creation. The fair market value for each share of restricted stock
underlying each Award was established by the Committee in
accordance with the 2012 Plan at $66.79 per share, which was the
closing price of the Companys common stock as reported on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market on May 10, 2017. Each Award, in
addition to being subject to customary terms and conditions as set
forth in the 2012 Plan and respective Award agreement, is subject
to specified performance and service conditions and represents a
contingent right to receive an amount of the Companys common stock
at a future date.
>Each Award will be earned by each executive officer based upon
the Companys achievement of between one to ten performance
objectives (five of which contain two or three related
sub-objectives) (the Performance Objectives) established by the
Committee that must be satisfied during the Companys current fiscal
year ending March 31, 2018 (the Performance Period). Each of the
Performance Objectives is separately weighted and expressed as a
percentage of a target number of common shares. If a Performance
Objective is met, the executive officer will be granted an Award
for a number of shares equal to the target multiplied by the
applicable percentage earned and assigned to such Performance
Objective. The executive officer may earn up to 150% of the target
number of Awards if all Performance Objectives are met. The
Performance Objectives relate to accomplishment of specific
manufacturing-related improvements, development of product
capabilities identified as strategic to our business, achievement
of certain financial metrics, and development and integration of
key IT business processes, tools and systems. The shares of
restricted stock earned by the executive officer at the end of the
Performance Period, if any, will vest over a three-year period,
with 50% vesting following completion of the Performance Period and
the remaining 50% vesting in equal annual installments over each of
the following two years. No shares are issued unless, and then only
to the extent that, an Award is both earned and vested.
Subject to satisfaction of the Performance Objectives, each
executive officer will be eligible to receive shares of restricted
common stock of the Company at the conclusion of the Performance
Period up to the maximum number of shares set forth below:
