Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 12, 2015, Qorvo, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) entered into the Second Amendment to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2015 (and amended by the First Amendment dated as of June 5, 2015), by and between the Company, the Guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment, among other things: (i) increases the size of certain negative covenant “basket” carve-outs and the threshold for certain negative covenant incurrence-based permissions, in each case allowing the Company more flexibility to incur debt, make investments and effect dividends, stock repurchases or similar equity payments; and (ii) raises the financial covenant threshold of the consolidated leverage ratio test from 2.50 to 1.00 to 3.00 to 1.00, allowing the Company to incur more debt without creating a financial covenant default. The foregoing summary of the Second Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.    Other Events.

On November 13, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of its offering of $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its senior notes maturing in 2023 and 2025. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
