Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 21, 2016, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (“the Company”) announced that its Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.28 per share, payable on August 25, 2016 to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2016.
On July 19, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time prior to July 19, 2018, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. This newly authorized stock repurchase program replaces in its entirety the $400 million stock repurchase program which was approved by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2015, and had $73.0 million of repurchase authority remaining.
The timing and amount of any shares of the Company’s common stock that are repurchased under the new repurchase program will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company currently expects to fund the repurchase program using the Company’s working capital.
