Base Salary Adjustments

At a meeting on September 14, 2012, as part of its annual review of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the following salary increases effective as of October 1, 2012, for the Company’s named executive officers:

The Committee increased Dr. Rhode’s base salary in recognition of his performance and the Committee’s objective of bringing his targeted total cash compensation (including salary and target incentive plan payout) in line with the 50th percentile of targeted total cash compensation of Chief Executive Officers of comparable peer companies. The Committee also increased the base salaries of our named executive officers. These increases were intended to recognize the performance of the named executive officers during the previous year and to move their targeted total compensation toward the 50^th percentile of the targeted total cash compensation for positions of similar scope and responsibility at the Company’s peer companies. Prior to the salary increases, the targeted total cash compensation for each named executive officer was below the 50^th percentile of the targeted total cash compensation for positions of similar scope and responsibility at the Company’s peer companies.

Equity Awards

In addition, as part of a company-wide award of equity to key employees, the Committee approved the following equity grants to named executive officers pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form S-8 on August 1, 2006:

The price of the stock option awards will be set at the closing price on the Company’s stock on the Company’s regularly scheduled monthly grant date of October 3, 2012. The options will have a term of ten years and 25% will vest one year from the grant date, and the remaining options will vest 1/36th monthly thereafter until fully vested after four years. The restricted stock unit awards will also be granted on October 3, 2012, and 100% of the shares underlying the restricted stock unit awards will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. All awards are subject to continued service through each vesting date.

The Committee awarded equity grants to its named executive officers with an expected total value such that each named executive officer’s target total direct compensation is at or near the seventy-fifth percentile of the target total direct compensation for comparable positions at the Company’s peer companies.  The Committee awarded these grants in recognition of the performance of the individuals and the strong recent performance and growth of the Company.
