Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 31, 2012, Silicon Laboratories Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a $230 million five-year credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“BOFA”), as the original Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Syndication Agent, Regions Bank, as Documentation Agent, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The Original Credit Agreement consisted of a $100 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $130 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On July 24, 2015, (i) Wells Fargo replaced BOFA as Administrative Agent and (ii) the Company and the Guarantors entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Credit Agreement Amendment”) to amend the Original Credit Agreement (the Original Credit Agreement as amended by the First Credit Agreement Amendment, the “First Amended Credit Agreement”) in order to, among other things, repay in full the Term Loan Facility, increase the Revolving Credit Facility to $300 million and extend the maturity date to five years from the closing date. On February 27, 2017, the Company and the Guarantors entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Credit Agreement Amendment”; the Original Credit Agreement as amended by the First Credit Agreement Amendment and the Second Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to further amend the Original Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, permit the issuance of, and certain payments under, certain convertible indebtedness.

The foregoing descriptions are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
