On September 22, 2022, Analog Devices, Inc.

Based on the early tenders as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2022, the requisite number of consents have been received to adopt the Amendments with respect to the Maxim Notes.

The Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation are being made solely pursuant to the conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated September 8, 2022 in a private offering exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are being made only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as are permitted under applicable law. The Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2022, unless extended or terminated (such date and time as may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). The Amendments will become operative only upon the settlement of the Exchange Offer, which is expected to occur promptly after the Expiration Date.
