PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

March 12, 2014

This proxy statement contains information about the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Analog Devices, Inc. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 12, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at our headquarters at One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062. You may obtain directions to the location of the annual meeting by visiting our website at www.analog.com or by contacting our Director of Investor Relations at Analog Devices, Inc., One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062; telephone: 781-461-3282.

We are furnishing this proxy statement to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Analog Devices, Inc. (which we also refer to as Analog Devices, ADI, or the Company) for use at the annual meeting and at any adjournment of that meeting. All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions they contain. If you do not specify your voting instructions on the proxy you submit for the meeting, it will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the meeting by giving our Secretary written notice to that effect.

We are mailing our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended November 2, 2013 with these proxy materials on or about January 30, 2014.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on March 12, 2014:

This proxy statement and the 2013 Annual Report to Shareholders are available for viewing, printing and downloading at www.analog.com/AnnualMeeting.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

What is the purpose of the annual meeting?

At the annual meeting, shareholders will consider and vote on the following matters:

1. The election of the ten nominees named in this proxy statement to our Board of Directors, each for a term of one year.

2. The approval, by non-binding “say on pay” vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures in this proxy statement.

3. The approval of the Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.

4. The ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year.

The shareholders will also act on any other business that may properly come before the meeting.

Who can vote?

To be able to vote, you must have been an Analog Devices shareholder of record at the close of business on January 10, 2014. This date is the record date for the annual meeting. The number of outstanding shares entitled to vote on each proposal at the meeting is 313,423,377 shares of our common stock.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of our common stock that you owned on the record date entitles you to one vote on each matter that is voted on.

Is my vote important?

Yes. Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. Please take the time to vote. Take a moment to read the instructions below. Choose the way to vote that is easiest and most convenient for you and cast your vote as soon as possible.

How do I vote?

If you are the “record holder” of your shares, meaning that you own your shares in your own name and not through a bank or brokerage firm, you may vote in one of four ways.

(1) You may vote over the Internet. If you have Internet access, you may vote your shares from any location in the world by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on the enclosed proxy card.

(2) You may vote by telephone. You may vote your shares by following the “Vote by Telephone” instructions on the enclosed proxy card.

(3) You may vote by mail. You may vote by completing and signing the proxy card enclosed with this proxy statement and promptly mailing it in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. You do not need to put a stamp on the enclosed envelope if you mail it in the United States. The shares you own will be voted according to your instructions on the proxy card you mail. If you return the proxy card, but do not give any instructions on a particular matter described in this proxy statement, the shares you own will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4.

(4) You may vote in person. If you attend the meeting, you may vote by delivering your completed proxy card in person or by completing a ballot. Ballots will be available at the meeting.

Can I change my vote after I have mailed my proxy card or after I have voted my shares over the Internet or by telephone?

Yes. You can change your vote and revoke your proxy at any time before the polls close at the meeting by doing any one of the following things:

•

signing another proxy card with a later date;

•

giving our Secretary a written notice before or at the meeting that you want to revoke your proxy; or

•

voting in person at the meeting.

Your attendance at the meeting alone will not revoke your proxy.

Can I vote if my shares are held in “street name”?

If the shares you own are held in “street name” by a brokerage firm, your brokerage firm, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. In order to vote your shares, you will need to follow the instructions your brokerage firm provides you. Many brokers also offer the option of voting over the Internet or by telephone, instructions for which would be provided by your brokerage firm on your vote instruction form.

Under the applicable rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, if you do not give instructions to your brokerage firm, it will still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” items, but it

will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. The ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 4) is considered to be a discretionary item under NASDAQ rules and your brokerage firm will be able to vote on that item even if it does not receive instructions from you, so long as it holds your shares in its name. The election of directors (Proposal 1), the “say on pay” advisory vote (Proposal 2), and the approval of the Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (Proposal 3) are “non-discretionary” items. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to these items, your broker may not vote with respect to these proposals and those votes will be counted as “broker non-votes.” “Broker non-votes” are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that it does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you must bring an account statement or letter from your bank or brokerage firm showing that you are the beneficial owner of the shares as of the record date (January 10, 2014) in order to be admitted to the meeting on March 12, 2014. To be able to vote your shares held in “street name” at the meeting, you will need to obtain a proxy card from the holder of record.

How do I vote my 401(k) shares?

If you participate in the Analog Devices Stock Fund through The Investment Partnership Plan of Analog Devices, or TIP, your proxy will also serve as a voting instruction for Fidelity Management Trust Company, or Fidelity, which serves as the administrator of TIP, with respect to shares of ADI common stock in your TIP account, or TIP shares, as of the record date. You should sign the proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., or Broadridge, or you may submit your proxy over the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Broadridge will notify Fidelity of the manner in which you have directed your TIP shares to be voted. Fidelity will vote your TIP shares as of the record date in the manner that you direct. If Broadridge does not receive your voting instructions from you by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 7, 2014, Fidelity will vote your TIP shares as of the record date in the same manner, proportionally, as it votes the other shares of common stock for which proper and timely voting instructions of other TIP participants have been received by Fidelity.

How do I vote my shares held in trust in the Analog Ireland Success Sharing Share Plan?

If you participate in the Analog Ireland Success Sharing Share Plan, which we refer to as the Ireland share plan, you may instruct Irish Pensions Trust Limited, which serves as the trustee of the Ireland share plan, to vote the amount of shares of common stock which they hold on your behalf as of the record date. You will receive a voting card that you may use to direct Mercer Ireland Limited, or Mercer, which administers the Irish share plan on behalf of Irish Pensions Trust Limited, how to vote your shares. You should sign the voting card and return it to Mercer in the envelope provided. Mercer will vote the shares in the manner that you direct on the voting card. If Mercer does not receive your voting card by 5:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on March 4, 2014, Mercer will not vote your shares.

What constitutes a quorum?

In order for business to be conducted at the meeting, a quorum must be present in person or represented by valid proxies. For each of the proposals to be presented at the meeting, a quorum consists of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding on January 10, 2014, the record date, or at least 156,711,689 shares.

Shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy (including “broker non-votes” and shares that abstain or do not vote with respect to a particular proposal) will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists at the meeting for that proposal.

If a quorum is not present, the meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

What vote is required for each item?

Election of directors. Under our bylaws, a nominee will be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast “for” the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” the nominee’s election, with abstentions and “broker non-votes” not counting as votes “for” or “against.” If the shares you own are held in “street name” by a brokerage firm, your brokerage firm, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may not vote your shares with respect to the election of directors. If an uncontested incumbent director nominee receives a majority of votes “against” his election, the director must tender a resignation from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will then decide whether to accept the resignation within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote (based on the recommendation of a committee of independent directors). We will publicly disclose the Board of Directors’ decision and its reasoning with regard to the offered resignation.

“Say on Pay.” Our Board of Directors is seeking a non-binding advisory vote regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures contained in this proxy statement. Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes cast at the meeting is needed to approve this resolution. The vote is advisory and non-binding in nature but our Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may not vote your shares with respect to this proposal.

Approval of Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes cast at the meeting is needed to approve our Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may not vote your shares with respect to this proposal.

Ratification of independent registered public accounting firm. Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes cast at the meeting is needed to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year. Even if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may vote your shares with respect to this proposal.

How will votes be counted?

Each share of common stock will be counted as one vote according to the instructions contained on a properly completed proxy card, whether submitted in person, by mail, over the Internet or by telephone, or on a ballot voted in person at the meeting. With respect to all proposals, shares will not be voted in favor of the matter, and will not be counted as voting on the matter, if they either (1) abstain from voting on a particular matter, or (2) are “broker non-votes.” Brokers who do not receive instructions with respect to Proposals 1, 2 or 3 will not be allowed to vote these shares, and all such shares will be “broker non-votes” rather than votes “for” or “against.” Accordingly, assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions and “broker non-votes” for a particular proposal will not be counted as votes cast to determine the outcome of a particular proposal.

Who will count the votes?

The votes will be counted, tabulated and certified by Broadridge.

Will my vote be kept confidential?

Yes, your vote will be kept confidential and we will not disclose your vote, unless (1) we are required to do so by law (including in connection with the pursuit or defense of a legal or administrative action or proceeding), or (2) there is a contested election for the Board of Directors. The inspector of elections will forward any written comments that you make on the proxy card to management without providing your name, unless you expressly request disclosure on your proxy card.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

FOR the election of each of the ten nominees to serve as directors on the Board of Directors, each for a term of one year (Proposal 1);

FOR the approval, by non-binding “say on pay” vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures contained in this proxy statement (Proposal 2);

FOR the approval of the Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (Proposal 3); and

FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year (Proposal 4).

Will any other matters be voted on at this meeting?

No. Under Massachusetts law, where we are incorporated, an item may not be brought before our shareholders at a meeting unless it appears in the notice of the meeting. Our bylaws establish the process for a shareholder to bring a matter before a meeting. See “How and when may I submit a shareholder proposal, including a shareholder nomination for director, for the 2015 annual meeting?” below.

Where can I find the voting results?

We will report the voting results in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of our annual meeting.

How and when may I submit a shareholder proposal, including a shareholder nomination for director, for the 2015 annual meeting?

If you are interested in submitting a proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2015 annual meeting, you need to follow the procedures outlined in Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. To be eligible for inclusion, we must receive your shareholder proposal for our proxy statement for the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders at our principal corporate offices in Norwood, Massachusetts at the address below no later than October 2, 2014.

In addition, our bylaws require that we be given advance written notice for nominations for election to our Board of Directors and other matters that shareholders wish to present for action at an annual meeting other than those to be included in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8. The Secretary must receive such notice at the address noted below not less than 90 days or more than 120 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, if the date of our annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from the anniversary date, then we must receive such notice at the address noted below not earlier than the 120th day before such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (1) the 90th day before such annual meeting or (2) the seventh day after the day on which notice of the meeting date was mailed or public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first. Assuming that the 2015 annual meeting is not advanced by more than 20 days nor delayed by more than 60 days from the anniversary date of the 2014 annual meeting, you would need to give us appropriate notice at the address noted below no earlier than November 12, 2014, and no later than December 12, 2014. If a shareholder does not provide timely notice of a nomination or other matter to be presented at the 2015 annual meeting, under Massachusetts law, it may not be brought before our shareholders at a meeting.

Our bylaws also specify requirements relating to the content of the notice that shareholders must provide to the Secretary of Analog Devices for any matter, including a shareholder proposal or nomination for director, to

be properly presented at a shareholder meeting. A copy of the full text of our bylaws is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and publicly available on our website.

Any proposals, nominations or notices should be sent to:

What are the costs of soliciting these proxies and who will pay?

We will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies. We have engaged Alliance Advisors LLC to assist us with the solicitation of proxies and expect to pay Alliance Advisors approximately $11,000 for their services. In addition to solicitations by mail, Alliance Advisors and our directors, officers and regular employees may solicit proxies by telephone, email and personal interviews without additional remuneration. We will request brokers, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy soliciting material to the owners of shares of our common stock that they hold in their names. We will reimburse banks and brokers for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of our proxy materials.

HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report to shareholders may have been sent to multiple shareholders in your household unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if you contact us at the following address, telephone number or email address: Director of Investor Relations, Analog Devices, Inc., One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062, telephone: 781-461-3282, email: investor.relations@analog.com. If you want to receive separate copies of the proxy statement or annual report to shareholders in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy per household, you should contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the above address, telephone number or email address.

The inclusion in the table of any shares, however, does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares by the named shareholder.

(3)

The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares over which that person has or shares voting or investment power, plus any shares that the person may acquire within 60 days, including through the exercise of stock options. Unless otherwise indicated, for each person named in the table, the number in the “Shares Acquirable within 60 Days” column consists of shares covered by stock options that may be exercised and restricted stock units, or RSUs, that vest within 60 days after January 14, 2014.

(4)

The percent ownership for each shareholder on January 14, 2014 is calculated by dividing (1) the total number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder by (2) the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on January 14, 2014 (313,361,243 shares) plus any shares acquirable (including exercisable stock options) by the shareholder in question within 60 days after January 14, 2014.

(5)	Based solely on a Form 13F-HR filed by Wellington Management Company, LLP on November 14, 2013 reporting stock ownership as of September 30, 2013.

(6)	Based solely on a Form 13F-HR filed by Capital World Investors on November 14, 2013 reporting stock ownership as of September 30, 2013.

(7)	Includes 69,025 shares held in trust for the benefit of Mr. Champy’s spouse and son, as to which Mr. Champy disclaims beneficial ownership.

(8)

Includes 1,108,709 shares held by Mr. Stata’s spouse, 400,277 shares held in trusts for the benefit of Mr. Stata’s children, and 1,850 shares held by a family LLC, as to which Mr. Stata disclaims beneficial ownership. All of the shares held by Mr. Stata’s spouse and 365,906 shares held directly by Mr. Stata are pledged as collateral for a line of credit from a bank.

(9)	All directors and executive officers as a group disclaim beneficial ownership of a total of 1,579,861 shares.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and the holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership of our common stock and other equity securities on a Form 3 and reports of changes in such ownership on a Form 4 or Form 5. Officers, directors and 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of our records and written representations by the persons required to file these reports, all filing requirements of Section 16(a) were satisfied with respect to our most recent fiscal year, except with respect to one late Form 3/A filing concerning certain shares owned by Mr. Meaney.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our entire Board of Directors is elected annually by our shareholders and currently consists of 11 directors, of which nine are deemed to be “independent directors.” Paul J.

At the 2014 annual meeting, shareholders will accordingly have an opportunity to vote for each of the ten nominees listed below, of which eight are deemed to be “independent directors.” The persons named in the enclosed proxy card will vote for each of these nominees, unless you instruct them to vote otherwise on the proxy card (whether executed by you or through Internet or telephonic voting). Each of the nominees has indicated his or her willingness to serve, if elected. However, if any or all of the nominees should be unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board of Directors or our Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors.

The information presented includes information each director has given us about his or her age, all positions he or she holds, his or her principal occupation and business experience, and the names of other publicly-held companies of which he or she currently serves as a director or has served as a director during the past five years.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of the above nominees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

We have long believed that good corporate governance is important to ensure that Analog Devices is managed for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. We periodically review our corporate governance policies and practices and compare them to those suggested by various authorities in corporate governance and the practices of other public companies. As a result, we have adopted policies and procedures that we believe are in the best interests of Analog Devices and our shareholders. In particular, we have adopted the following policies and procedures:

Declassified Board of Directors. We have a declassified Board of Directors and our bylaws provide for one-year terms for our directors. All of our directors will stand for election to one-year terms at this annual meeting.

Majority Voting for Election of Directors. Our bylaws provide for a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections, so a nominee is elected to the Board of Directors if the votes “for” that director exceed the votes “against” (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as for or against the election). If a nominee does not receive more “for” votes than “against” votes, the director must offer his or her resignation, which the Board of Directors must determine whether to accept and publicly disclose that determination.

Executive Sessions. At each regular meeting, our Board of Directors holds executive sessions of non-employee directors, who are all independent as defined under the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Marketplace Rules, or the NASDAQ Rules. Our lead director, James A. Champy, presides at these executive sessions. In addition, the committees of our Board of Directors also regularly hold executive sessions with their advisors without management present.

No Hedging Policy. We prohibit all hedging transactions or short sales involving Company securities by our directors and employees, including our executive officers.

No Pledging Policy. Since January 2013, we have prohibited our directors and executive officers from holding any Company securities in a margin account, and from any future pledging of their Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Equity Award Grant Date Policy. We do not time or select the grant dates of any stock options or stock-based awards in coordination with our release of material non-public information, nor do we have any program, plan or practice to do so. In addition, the Compensation Committee has adopted specific written policies regarding the grant dates of stock option and stock-based awards made to our directors, executive officers and employees. See “Director Compensation” and “INFORMATION ABOUT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Equity Award Grant Date Policy” below for more information.

Determination of Independence

Under applicable NASDAQ Rules, a director of Analog Devices will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person does not have a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has established guidelines (within our Corporate Governance Guidelines) to assist it in determining whether a director has a relationship with Analog Devices that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. These guidelines are posted on our website under www.investor.analog.com/governance.cfm. For relationships not covered by the guidelines, the determination of whether such a relationship exists is made by the members of our Board of Directors who are independent (as defined above). Our Board of Directors has determined that none of Messrs. Beyer, Champy, Hodgson, Istel, Novich, Saviers, Severino and Sicchitano or Ms. Su has a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is an “independent director” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Rules. In determining the independence of the directors listed above, our Board of Directors considered each of the transactions discussed in “— Director Compensation” and “— Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” Messrs. Stata and Roche are not “independent” because Mr. Stata was an employee of ADI until April 2012, and Mr. Roche is a current employee of the Company. We considered the Company’s annual laboratory membership with MIT (of which James A. Champy is a board member) and determined that the relationship was established in the ordinary course of business on an arms-length basis without the involvement of Mr. Champy, and is not material to MIT or the Company.

Director Candidates

Shareholders of record of Analog Devices may recommend director candidates for inclusion by the Board of Directors in the slate of nominees that the Board of Directors recommends to our shareholders for election. The qualifications of recommended candidates will be reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. If the Board of Directors determines to nominate a shareholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election as a director by the shareholders, the name will be included in Analog Devices’ proxy card for the shareholders’ meeting at which his or her election is recommended.

Shareholders may recommend individuals for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to consider as potential director candidates by submitting their names and background and a statement as to whether the shareholder or group of shareholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of Analog Devices’ common stock for at least one year as of the date the recommendation is made, to the “Analog Devices Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,” c/o Secretary, Analog Devices, Inc., One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider a recommendation only if appropriate biographical information and background material is provided on a timely basis.

The process followed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to identify and evaluate candidates includes requests to Board members and others for recommendations, input from director search firms for identification and evaluation of candidates, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates by members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material is provided for candidates recommended by shareholders on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate director candidates recommended by shareholders by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for director candidates submitted by Board members.

Shareholders also have the right to directly nominate director candidates, without any action or recommendation on the part of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Board of Directors,

by following the procedures set forth in ADI’s amended and restated bylaws and described in the response to the question “How and when may I submit a shareholder proposal, including a shareholder nomination for director, for the 2015 annual meeting?” above.

In considering whether to recommend any candidate for inclusion in the Board of Directors’ slate of recommended director nominees, including candidates recommended by shareholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the criteria set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. These criteria include the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, experience, commitment, and diligence, the presence of any conflicts of interest and the ability of the candidate to act in the interests of all shareholders. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines specify that the value of diversity on the Board of Directors should be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the director identification and nomination process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks nominees with a broad diversity of experience, professions, skills, geographic representation and backgrounds. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. Analog Devices believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities. While we do not have a policy regarding Board diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has instructed its director search firm to include gender, racial and ethnic diversity as part of its search criteria, consistent with the requirement for relevant experience, skills and industry familiarity.

Communications from Shareholders and Other Interested Parties

The Board of Directors will give appropriate attention to written communications on issues that are submitted by shareholders and other interested parties, and will respond if and as appropriate. Absent unusual circumstances or as contemplated by committee charters, the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will, with the assistance of Analog Devices’ internal legal counsel, (1) be primarily responsible for monitoring communications from shareholders and other interested parties and (2) provide copies or summaries of such communications to the other directors as he considers appropriate.

Communications will be forwarded to all directors if they relate to substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers to be important for the directors to review. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to personal grievances, commercial solicitations, and matters as to which Analog Devices tends to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Shareholders and other interested parties who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board of Directors (including the presiding director or the independent directors as a group) should address such communications to James A. Champy, Presiding Director, c/o Secretary, Analog Devices, Inc., One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the offices of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer should be separate, unless otherwise determined by a majority of the Board of Directors. We currently separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while our Chairman of the Board of Directors provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, sets the agenda for Board meetings and presides over meetings of the full Board of Directors. Because Mr. Stata, our Chairman, is not an independent director under the NASDAQ Rules, our Board of Directors has appointed James A. Champy as presiding director to preside at all executive sessions of independent directors. The Board of Directors holds executive sessions at each regular meeting.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

The Board of Directors has responsibility for reviewing our overall performance, rather than day-to-day operations. The Board of Directors’ primary responsibility is to oversee the management of the Company and, in so doing, serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors provides for the succession of the Chief Executive Officer, nominates for election at annual shareholder meetings individuals to serve as directors of Analog Devices, and elects individuals to fill any vacancies on the Board of Directors. It reviews corporate objectives and strategies, and evaluates and approves significant policies and proposed major commitments of corporate resources. It participates in decisions that have a potential major economic impact on Analog Devices. Management keeps the directors informed of Company activity through regular written reports and presentations at Board and committee meetings.

The Board of Directors met 14 times in fiscal 2013, including by telephone conference. During fiscal 2013, each of our directors attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which he or she served. The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each committee has a charter that has been approved by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must each review its respective charter periodically, while the Compensation Committee must review its charter annually. In addition, each Committee must conduct periodic self-evaluations of its own performance. Messrs. Stata and Roche are the only directors who are, or have been in the past three years, employees of Analog Devices and neither serves on any standing Board committee. In addition, neither participates in the portion of any Board or committee meeting during which his compensation is evaluated. All members of all three committees are independent, non-employee directors. The independent directors met in executive session without Mr. Stata or our Chief Executive Officer either before or during each in-person Board meeting in fiscal 2013.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth our policy that directors are expected to attend annual meetings of shareholders. All of our then-serving directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Audit Committee

The current members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Sicchitano (Chair), Hodgson and Istel. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Sicchitano, Hodgson and Istel qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC. Each of Messrs. Sicchitano, Hodgson and Istel is independent under the NASDAQ Rules, including the independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement as required under the NASDAQ Rules. The Board of Directors has certified that it has at least one member of the audit committee who has past employment experience in finance or accounting as required by the NASDAQ Rules. None of Messrs. Sicchitano, Hodgson or Istel serves on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors’ oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, and the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has the authority to engage any independent legal, accounting and other advisors that it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. These independent advisors may be the regular advisors to the Company. The Audit Committee is empowered, without further action by the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to pay the compensation of those advisors as established by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee was responsible for selecting and appointing Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and did not retain any other advisors during fiscal 2013. The Audit Committee met 12 times during fiscal 2013 (including by telephone conference). The responsibilities of our Audit Committee and its activities during fiscal 2013 are described in the Report of the Audit Committee below.

Compensation Committee

The current members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Novich (Chair), Beyer, Saviers and Severino. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Novich, Beyer, Saviers and Severino is independent as defined under the NASDAQ Rules. The Compensation Committee evaluates and sets the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers, and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the compensation of our directors. The Compensation Committee oversees the evaluation of senior management. In connection with its oversight and administration of ADI’s cash and equity incentive plans, the Compensation Committee authorizes the granting of stock options, RSUs and other stock incentives (within guidelines established by our Board of Directors and in accordance with our equity granting policy) to our officers. In accordance with the terms of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee has delegated to our Chief Executive Officer the power to grant options, RSUs and other stock awards to employees who are not executive officers or directors, subject to specified thresholds and applicable law. Our Compensation Committee held eight meetings (including by telephone conference) during fiscal 2013.

Compensation Committee Consultants. The Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain or obtain the advice of any independent legal, accounting or other advisors it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee is empowered, without further action by the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to pay the compensation of these advisors as established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee was assisted during fiscal 2013 by outside legal counsel as needed. The Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer and Partners (PM&P), an independent compensation consultant, during fiscal 2013. PM&P reports directly to the Compensation Committee and assists the Compensation Committee in evaluating and designing our executive and director compensation program and policies. In fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee instructed PM&P to assist it in defining a peer group of companies, compare our executive and director compensation arrangements to those of the peer group, and provide market data and advice regarding executive and director compensation plan design. PM&P conducted a detailed analysis of the competitiveness and appropriateness of the Company’s total executive compensation opportunity in comparison to our peer group. PM&P also conducted a risk assessment of our executive compensation program. In connection with its work for the Compensation Committee, PM&P is invited to attend many of the Compensation Committee’s meetings and, upon request of the Compensation Committee, attends executive sessions of the Compensation Committee. PM&P is retained only by the Compensation Committee and does not provide any other consulting services to Analog Devices. The Compensation Committee also solicits advice from time to time from our outside counsel, WilmerHale. The Compensation Committee assesses the independence of its advisors on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee requested and received an independence letter from each of PM&P and WilmerHale in fiscal 2013 stating that each meets the independence standards prescribed by the SEC and NASDAQ for all work performed for the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2013. The activities of our Compensation Committee and the services PM&P performed for the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2013 are further described in “INFORMATION ABOUT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The current members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Champy (Chair) and Saviers and Ms. Su. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Champy and Saviers and Ms. Su is independent as defined under the NASDAQ Rules. The purpose of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to identify individuals qualified to become Board members consistent with criteria approved by the Board of Directors, recommend to the Board of Directors the persons to be nominated by the Board of Directors for election as directors at any meeting of shareholders, recommend to the Board of Directors the directors to be appointed to each committee of the Board of Directors, develop and recommend to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and oversee the evaluation of the Board of Directors. The responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also include oversight of the Board of Directors’ review of succession planning with respect to senior executives and oversight of our Code of Business

Conduct and Ethics. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the authority to engage any independent legal and other advisors it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities, and in fiscal 2013, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retained Korn/Ferry International, an independent executive search firm that assisted the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in identifying prospective director candidates. These independent advisors may be the regular advisors to the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is empowered, without further action by the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to pay the compensation of these advisors as established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. For information relating to nominations of directors by our shareholders, see “— Director Candidates” above. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held five meetings during fiscal 2013 (including by telephone conference).

The Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight

Management is responsible for day-to-day risk management activities. The Board of Directors’ role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and reputational risks. Members of management report to the Board of Directors (or the appropriate Committee in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular Committee) regarding risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. In particular, the Audit Committee discusses ADI’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management as they apply to ADI’s financial statements, and the Compensation Committee considers whether ADI’s executive compensation program encourages excessive or inappropriate risk taking.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assisted the Board of Directors’ oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, and the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also met privately with our independent registered public accounting firm and our internal auditors to discuss our financial statements and disclosures, accounting policies and their application, internal controls over financial reporting, and other matters of importance to the Audit Committee, the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls over financial reporting. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the quarterly financial statements during fiscal 2013, including the specific disclosures in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These discussions also addressed the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee reported on these meetings to our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee also selected and appointed our independent registered public accounting firm, reviewed the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm during the annual audit and on assignments unrelated to the audit, assessed the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviewed and approved the independent registered public accounting firm’s fees. The Audit Committee also has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services for the purpose of maintaining the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee reviewed with our independent registered public accounting firm, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm (i) the matters to be discussed as required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as

amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU Section 380) as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T and (ii) the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from Analog Devices and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter we received from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee on independence. The Audit Committee considered the appropriateness of the provision of non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm relative to their independence.

Based on its review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors approved) that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 2, 2013. The Audit Committee also selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 1, 2014.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees and Other Matters

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal years ended November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012.


	Fiscal 2013		Fiscal 2012
Audit Fees	$	2,996,000	$	2,123,000
Audit-Related Fees		90,000		95,000
Tax Fees		610,000		871,000

Total Fees	$	3,696,000	$	3,089,000

Audit Fees. These are fees related to professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements, the audit of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the reviews of our interim financial statements included in each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, international statutory audits, reviews and comfort letter procedures related to our filings on Form S-3, assistance with registration statements and other periodic filings, and accounting consultations that relate to the audited financial statements and are necessary to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for assurance and related services and consisted primarily of audits of employee benefit plans, due diligence and consultations regarding proposed transactions and accounting matters not related to the annual audit.

Tax Fees. These are fees for professional services related to tax return preparation services for our expatriates, international tax returns, tax advice and planning, assistance with international tax audits and merger and acquisition tax advice and services. Included in this amount are fees of $308,000 in fiscal 2013 and $440,000 in fiscal 2012 for tax compliance services for our international affiliates and tax return preparation services for our expatriate employees on international assignments. Ernst & Young LLP does not provide tax services to any executive officer of Analog Devices.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services for the purpose of maintaining the independence of our independent registered

public accounting firm. We may not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit or non-audit service unless either the service is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to Analog Devices by the independent registered public accounting firm during the following 12 months. At the time the pre-approval is granted, the Audit Committee must (1) identify the particular pre-approved services in a sufficient level of detail so that management will not be called upon to make a judgment as to whether a proposed service fits within the pre-approved services and (2) establish a monetary limit with respect to each particular pre-approved service, which limit may not be exceeded without obtaining further pre-approval under the policy. At regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, management or the independent registered public accounting firm must report to the Audit Committee regarding each service actually provided to Analog Devices.

If the cost of any service exceeds the pre-approved monetary limit, that service must be approved (1) by the entire Audit Committee if the cost of the service exceeds $100,000 or (2) by the Chairman of the Audit Committee if the cost of the service is less than $100,000 but greater than $10,000. If the cost of any service exceeds the pre-approved monetary limit, individual items with a cost of less than $10,000 each do not require further pre-approval, provided that the total cost of all individual items does not exceed $40,000 and an update of all items in this category is provided to the Audit Committee at each quarterly scheduled meeting. However, if the cost of all the individual items will exceed $40,000, the Chairman of the Audit Committee must receive a summary of those items with a request for approval of any amounts to be incurred in excess of $40,000.

The Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee to pre-approve any audit or non-audit services to be provided to Analog Devices by the independent registered public accounting firm for which the cost is less than $100,000. During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, no services were provided to Analog Devices by Ernst & Young LLP other than in accordance with the pre-approval policies and procedures described above.

Director Compensation

We grant equity awards to our non-employee directors as follows: 50% of each award consists of stock options and 50% of the award consists of RSUs. These stock options and RSUs vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant. On March 13, 2013, we granted each non-employee director, with the exception of Ms. Su, a stock option to purchase 11,860 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $46.48 per share, and 1,940 RSUs for services to be provided during fiscal 2013. On March 13, 2013, Ms. Su, who joined the Board in June 2012, was granted a stock option to purchase 9,130 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $46.48 per share, and 1,495 RSUs for services to be provided during fiscal 2013.

The following table details the total compensation earned by our non-employee directors in fiscal 2013.

(1)	Mr. Beyer was elected as a director in November 2013 and did not serve during fiscal 2013. In connection with his election to the Board, Mr. Beyer was granted a stock option to purchase 2,970 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $48.74 per share, and 500 RSUs on December 16, 2013.

(2)

This amount includes a $60,000 annual board retainer. An additional annual retainer of $20,000 is paid to the chair of the Audit Committee. An additional annual retainer of $15,000 is paid to the chairs of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Presiding Director also receives an additional annual retainer of $15,000. The members of the Audit Committee (other than the chair) received an additional annual retainer of $6,000 and the members of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees (other than the chairs) received an additional annual retainer of $3,000. For 2013, Mr. Stata, as Chairman of the Board of Directors, received a total annual retainer of $250,000. All cash retainers are paid in quarterly installments each on the 15th day of December, March, June and September of each fiscal year.

(3)

These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards for grants of RSUs or stock options to each listed director in fiscal 2013. These amounts do not represent the actual amounts paid to or realized by the directors during fiscal 2013. We recognize the fair value as of the grant date for stock options and RSUs over the number of days of service required for the award to become vested.

(4)	The aggregate number of stock options and RSUs outstanding held by each director (representing unexercised stock options, both exercisable and unexercisable, and unvested RSUs) at November 2, 2013 is as follows:


Name	Number of Shares Subject to Option Awards Held as of November 2, 2013		Number of Restricted Stock Units that have not Vested as of November 2, 2013
James A. Champy		54,950		1,940
John C. Hodgson		79,950		1,940
Yves-Andre Istel		51,100		1,940
Neil Novich		59,253		1,940
F. Grant Saviers		97,950		1,940
Paul J. Severino		94,950		1,940
Kenton J. Sicchitano		112,950		1,940
Ray Stata		294,950		1,940
Lisa T. Su		18,160		1,495

The following table includes the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value amounts included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” column for fiscal 2013 Director Compensation.


	Exercise Price ($)		Assumptions
	Exercise Price ($)		Volatility (%)		Expected Life (Years)		Risk-Free Interest Rate (%)		Dividend Yield (%)		Grant Date Fair Value Per Share ($)
Stock options		46.48		24.570		5.40		0.994		2.926		7.379
RSUs		—		—		—		0.150		2.926		45.12

The grant date fair value of RSUs represents the value of our common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our common stock prior to vesting. We compute the grant date fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology. For a more detailed description of the assumptions used for purposes of determining grant date fair value, see Note 3 to the Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Stock-Based Compensation,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 2, 2013.

We also reimburse our directors for travel to Board meetings and related expenses. Each director can elect to defer receipt of his or her fees under our Deferred Compensation Plan, or DCP. See “INFORMATION ABOUT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION — Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan” below.

(5)	The amounts represent payment of medical and dental insurance premiums on behalf of Mr. Stata and his spouse.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors

Under our stock ownership guidelines, the target share ownership level for non-employee directors is four times directors’ annual cash retainer. Directors have four years to achieve their targeted level. Shares subject to unexercised options, whether or not vested, and any shares that have been pledged as collateral for a loan will not be counted for purposes of satisfying these guidelines. Unvested RSUs are counted for purposes of satisfying the guidelines. Except for Ms. Su and Mr. Beyer, who were elected to the Board of Directors in June 2012 and November 2013, respectively, all directors satisfied our stock ownership guidelines as of the end of fiscal 2013.

Equity Award Policy for Non-Employee Directors

Our equity award grant policy for non-employee directors is as follows:

•

Each newly elected non-employee director elected other than at an annual meeting of shareholders is automatically granted under the 2006 Plan: (a) a non-qualified stock option to purchase a number of shares of our common stock approved by the Board of Directors at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date; and (b) an RSU award for a number of shares of our common stock approved by the Board of Directors, each on the 15th day of the month following the month of the date of initial election as a director, or if NASDAQ is closed on that day, the next succeeding business day that NASDAQ is open.

•

On an annual basis, each non-employee director elected or re-elected at an annual meeting of shareholders is automatically granted under the 2006 Plan: (a) a non-qualified stock option to purchase a number of shares of our common stock approved by the Board of Directors at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date; and (b) a RSU award for a number of shares of our common stock approved by the Board of Directors, each on the date of our annual meeting of shareholders, or if NASDAQ is closed on that day, the next succeeding business day that NASDAQ is open.

For fiscal 2013, stock options and RSUs granted to our non-employee directors under the 2006 Plan vested on the earlier of the date of the 2014 annual meeting of the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to acceleration as described below. These awards vest in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the 2006 Plan) or the director’s death. If the director ceases to serve as a director by reason of his disability, as determined by the Board of Directors, each RSU will vest in full and each option will continue to vest over its remaining term on the dates it otherwise would have vested if the director’s service had not been terminated for disability. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event or in the event of the director’s death, disability or retirement after age 60, each vested option will continue to be exercisable for the balance of its term.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Transactions with Related Persons

During fiscal 2013, Mr. Stata’s cash retainer was $250,000. Following his retirement as an employee in 2012, the Company agreed to provide medical and dental benefits to Mr. Stata and his spouse during their lifetimes on the same basis as provided to U.S. employees of the Company. The value of those medical and dental benefits in 2013 was $9,733. On March 13, 2013, we granted a stock option to Mr. Stata for the purchase

of 11,860 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $46.48 per share and 1,940 RSUs. These awards vest on the earlier of the date of the 2014 annual meeting or the first anniversary of the grant date.

In June 2011, ADI acquired Lyric Semiconductor, Inc. (Lyric) for $14 million in the aggregate at closing, with additional contingent earn out payments based on the achievement of certain product-based milestones of up to $15 million and royalty payments of up to $25 million based on product sales following the closing. Mr. Stata, our founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, served as Chairman of the Board of Lyric through the closing of the transaction. In addition, Stata Venture Partners II, LLC, a venture capital fund, held a significant equity position in Lyric. Mr. Stata serves as a general partner of Stata Venture Holdings II, LLC, which is a general partner of Stata Venture Partners II, LLC. Stata Venture Partners II, LLC was paid $4.5 million at the closing of the acquisition, and will be paid additional amounts up to an aggregate of approximately $8.1 million if all possible milestone and royalty payments are ultimately made. Mr. Stata’s economic interest in the payments to Stata Venture Partners II, LLC vary based on the satisfaction of conditions set forth in the partnership agreement for Stata Venture Partners II, LLC. In September 2013, Stata Venture Partners II, LLC received an additional $472,717 in consideration under the terms of the transaction. The maximum potential additional payments to Mr. Stata from the consideration paid or potentially payable to Stata Venture Partners II, LLC as a result of the acquisition are approximately $1,051,266 if all possible milestone and royalty payments are ultimately made and all conditions set forth in the partnership agreement for Stata Venture Partners II, LLC are satisfied. Mr. Stata recused himself from the votes regarding the acquisition. The acquisition, and Mr. Stata’s interests therein, were reviewed and approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with our policies and procedures for related person transactions described below.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted written policies and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which Analog Devices is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or 5% shareholders (or their immediate family members, each of whom we refer to as a “related person”) has a direct or indirect material interest.

If a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a “related person transaction,” the related person must report the proposed related person transaction to our General Counsel. The policy calls for the proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to entry into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review, and, in its discretion, may ratify the related person transaction. The policy also permits the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related person transactions that arise between committee meetings, subject to ratification by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at its next meeting. Any related person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually.

A related person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee after full disclosure of the related person’s interest in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review and consider:

•

the related person’s interest in the related person transaction;

•

the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction;

•

the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

•

whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business;

•

whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than the terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

•

the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction; and any other information regarding the related person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may approve or ratify the transaction only if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in Analog Devices’ best interests. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may impose any conditions on the related person transaction that it deems appropriate.

In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the SEC’s related person transaction disclosure rule, the Board of Directors has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related person transactions for purposes of this policy:

•

interests arising solely from the related person’s position as an executive officer of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of that entity), that is a participant in the transaction, where (a) the related person and all other related persons own in the aggregate less than a 10% equity interest in the entity, (b) the related person and his or her immediate family members are not involved in the negotiation of the terms of the transaction and do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction, and (c) the amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $200,000 or

•

5% of the annual gross revenues of company receiving payment under the transaction; and

•

the transactions that are specifically contemplated by provisions of Analog Devices’ charter or bylaws.

The policy provides that the transactions involving compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee in the manner specified in its charter.

PROPOSAL 2 — ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are requesting shareholder approval of the compensation of the executive officers named in our Summary Compensation Table below, who we refer to as our “named executive officers” or NEOs. Our Board of Directors is asking shareholders to approve a non-binding advisory vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures in this proxy statement, is hereby approved.

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, this is an advisory vote, which means that this proposal is not binding on us. But our Compensation Committee values the opinions expressed by our shareholders and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs. You may vote for, against or abstain from voting on this matter.

ADI’s executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain strong executives to lead our complex, global organization. We seek to provide total compensation to our executives that is competitive with our peers, and we believe that our compensation programs are designed to encourage the most talented individuals to grow their careers at ADI. This approach proved crucial in 2013 when Jerald Fishman, our longtime Chief Executive Officer, died unexpectedly. Vincent Roche, our new Chief Executive Officer, and the rest of the management team have long tenure with our Company (averaging 17 years), which minimized disruption following Mr. Fishman’s death, and enabled us to continue to deliver strong business performance and financial results for our shareholders.

ADI has a longstanding philosophy and practice of paying executives for performance. In order to align our pay practices with shareholder interests, a significant percentage of each executive’s compensation is tied to the Company’s performance, in the form of variable cash incentive bonus payments and equity awards that rise in value only if our stock price increases.

Cash Incentive Bonus Payments. The Company’s semi-annual cash incentive bonus plan is specifically designed to pay more when our business results are strong and less when our results do not meet our targets. This approach has the benefit of reducing compensation expense in challenging years, which permits our Company to preserve strategic R&D programs in difficult times. The plan also rewards our executives with a payout of larger bonuses when the Company’s performance exceeds our targets. In 2013, as in prior years, our incentive program payments were based on ADI’s year-over-year revenue growth and quarterly operating profit margin, which we believe are important financial metrics affecting our stock price.

Equity Awards. Our equity-based compensation, which consists of stock options and time-based RSUs, is also designed to motivate performance because the value of those grants increases only if our stock price increases. Our equity compensation program is aligned with our shareholders’ interests as follows:

•

Our dilution rate is consistently low relative to our peer group. In fiscal 2013, our dilution rate was 1.6% on a gross basis and 1.5% on a net basis, compared to an average of 4.4% on a gross basis and 3.3% on a net basis for our peer group.

•

In order to maximize the retentive value of our equity grants, each grant vests over a number of years. Our RSU grants do not vest until the third anniversary of grant, and our stock options vest 20% per year on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date.

•

In fiscal 2014, we expect to provide a portion of our executives’ equity compensation in the form of performance shares, which will vest upon achievement of certain performance metrics, as described more fully under “— Pay for Performance” below.

In fiscal 2013, a year in which ADI continued to deliver strong profits in a challenging global economy, aggregate payments under our cash incentive bonus plan were made at 58% of target. This result reflects achievement of our profitability target and revenue growth below our objective.

As a result of all of these factors, we believe that our compensation program is working as intended and appropriately aligns executive pay with Company performance.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

INFORMATION ABOUT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We intend to provide compensation for our executives that is competitive with our peers, with an opportunity for increased compensation if the Company’s performance warrants. The elements of our executives’ total compensation are base salary, cash incentive awards, equity incentive awards, and retirement and other employee benefits. We have designed our compensation program to make a substantial percentage of our executive pay variable, subject to increase when corporate targets are overachieved and reduction when corporate targets are not reached.

Compensation Processes and Philosophy

Our Compensation Committee has a two-fold philosophy regarding the total compensation of our senior executives:

•

First, encourage and reward our executives for their contributions to ADI’s performance and shareholder value by tying a significant portion of their total compensation directly to ADI’s short- and long-term performance, measured by operating profit before taxes, or OPBT, revenue growth (which we believe should in turn increase stock price) and stock price appreciation.

•

Second, ensure that our executive compensation is competitive and attracts and retains top executive talent by generally targeting the total compensation of our NEOs at approximately the 50th percentile of our peer group. In 2013, the Compensation Committee targeted the pay of Vincent Roche, our Chief Executive Officer appointed in 2013, below the 50^th percentile because he was newly promoted to the position.

Our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation is described in more detail below under “— Chief Executive Officer Compensation.” Our other NEOs’ compensation is described in more detail below under “— Other Named Executive Officer Compensation.”

2013 Business Results

Our 2013 fiscal year was marked by strong financial performance in a year of continuing global economic uncertainty. Our business is largely driven by capital spending worldwide, and many regions experienced recession or significant economic growth slowdowns during the year. As a result, our 2013 revenue declined slightly as compared to our 2012 revenue. However, we maintained strong profitability, with gross margins of approximately 64.3% and operating margins of approximately 29%. We also produced operating cash of flow of $912 million, or 34.6% of sales. In 2013, we continued our program of returning cash to our shareholders, paying approximately $466 million in dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock. In aggregate, ADI continued to have solid performance in a year of challenging business conditions.

“Say on Pay” Feedback from Shareholders

Each year we submit our executive compensation program to an advisory vote of our shareholders as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act. In 2013, our compensation program received the support of 89% of the total votes cast at our annual meeting. We pay careful attention to any feedback we receive from our shareholders about our executive compensation program including the “say on pay” vote. During the course of the year, we conducted a shareholder outreach program where we held in person and telephonic meetings with a variety of shareholders to seek more detailed feedback from them about our executive compensation program and how they value it. Our Compensation Committee carefully considers this feedback when making decisions regarding executive compensation.

Pay for Performance

A significant portion of the total compensation of our NEOs is directly linked to Company performance in the form of cash incentive bonus payments and equity awards. We believe this provides our executives an opportunity to earn above peer average compensation if ADI delivers superior results.

Cash Incentive Bonus Payments. We link a significant portion of our executives’ cash compensation to ADI’s performance, measured by our OPBT as a percentage of revenue and year-to-year revenue growth, through our performance incentive plan. All employees participate in our performance incentive plan, which provides us with a variable compensation structure, allowing us to reduce our compensation costs in challenging times and to reward performance when business conditions and results warrant. The performance metrics for our cash incentive plan are identical for employees and executives alike, which we believe drives consistent business goals. In 2013, 43% of Mr. Roche’s total cash compensation and 34% of the average total cash compensation of our other NEOs (excluding Mr. Fishman) was variable based on these performance metrics.

Our performance incentive plan takes into consideration our actual business results, compared to the strategic performance targets we set for our business. In setting our targets, we use an assessment of our business results relative to our peers to ensure that our performance targets are appropriately calibrated. Our Compensation Committee’s independent consultant, PM&P, conducted an analysis which compared our performance against the five-year average performance of our peers, including revenue growth and operating profits to help us determine the appropriate targets for fiscal 2013. The five-year average OPBT for our peer group was 19%, compared to our target of 30% in fiscal 2013. The five-year average revenue growth for our peer group was 3%, compared to our target of 8% in fiscal 2013.

Equity Awards. We also link pay and performance by providing a significant amount of our executives’ compensation in the form of equity awards, whose value is directly tied to our stock price performance. In 2013, approximately 54% of the average total compensation of our NEOs (excluding Mr. Fishman) was in the form of equity. In 2013, approximately 50% of the value of our executives’ equity was delivered in the form of stock options that provide a direct link between these awards and the appreciation of the stock owned by our shareholders, and approximately 50% of the value was delivered in the form of RSUs. The RSUs increase or decrease in value depending on our Company’s share performance.

In 2014, if our shareholders approve our Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan at our annual meeting, our Compensation Committee plans to add a performance-based vesting component to our executives’ grants, on the terms described more fully in “— Equity Compensation,” below.

Total Shareholder Return

Our total shareholder return, or TSR, performance (defined as share price appreciation plus cumulative cash dividend payments) on a one- and three-year basis was 28% and 58%, respectively. On the same basis, our TSR performance was at the 42^nd percentile and 77^th percentile of peer group performance, respectively.

The periods used to calculate our and our peer group share price appreciation and dividends paid were held constant, and represented the last trading day in October for each of the fiscal periods included in the TSR calculation.

Pay and Governance Practices

We avoid pay and governance practices that are considered to be unfriendly to shareholders. For example:

•

We have no guaranteed salary increases or non-performance-based bonuses.

•

We do not change our performance targets mid-year, even in challenging years.

•

We do not provide extensive perquisites to our executives.

•

Since 2009, our executive compensation arrangements for new executives do not contain tax gross up provisions for excess parachute payments.

•

We do not pay dividends on unvested equity awards.

•

We prohibit our executives and directors from engaging in hedging transactions or “short sales” involving Company securities.

•

We prohibit our executives and directors from holding any Company securities in a margin account, and, commencing in 2013, from any pledging of their Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Benchmarking

In making its compensation determinations, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the total compensation that each of our executives is eligible to receive against the compensation levels of comparable positions of a peer group of companies. The Compensation Committee seeks to select peer companies that are publicly traded, headquartered in the United States, compete in the semiconductor industry, compete with us for talent, and are similar to ADI in their product and services offerings, business model, revenue size and market capitalization. The composition of the peer group is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee. In April 2013, the Compensation Committee conducted their annual peer group review. The median annual revenue of our peer group at that time was $2.5 billion, compared to our trailing four quarters revenue of $2.7 billion. The median market capitalization of our peer group at that time was $8.9 billion, compared to our market capitalization of $14.3 billion. Some companies in our peer group (such as Texas Instruments) fall outside our selection range. However, we include them in the peer group because they have similar product and services offerings as ADI, they are direct competitors of ADI, we compete with them for talent, and/or they include ADI in their own peer group. Because executive compensation comparisons are done using percentiles, rather than averages, we do not believe the data becomes skewed if a company falls outside our selection range.

The peer group used by the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2013 to evaluate compensation is:

2013 Peer Group

Altera Corp.

Avago Technologies Ltd.

Broadcom Corp.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. Linear Technology Corp.

LSI Corp.

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Microchip Technology Inc. Nvidia Corp.

Texas Instruments Inc.

Xilinx, Inc.

For officers in positions for which the 2013 peer group companies do not publicly disclose compensation data, the Compensation Committee reviewed PM&P’s 2013 CHiPS Executive and Senior Management Total Compensation Survey reflecting the average compensation, by position, of 15 semiconductor companies, which were considered the peer group for these officers and Radford’s 2013 Executive and Senior Management Total Compensation Survey.

Components of Executive Compensation

Annual compensation for our executive officers consists of the following principal elements:


Element	Objective	Fixed/Variable


Base salary	Attract talent and provide stable source of income.	Fixed

Cash incentive bonus award	Link pay and performance. Reward business performance, measured quarterly by operating profits as a percentage of revenue and year-to-year revenue growth.	Variable

Long-term equity compensation (stock options and RSUs)	Link pay and long-term performance. Reward stock price appreciation, promote long-term retention and permit executives to accumulate equity ownership in the Company.	Variable

Retirement and other employee benefits	Retain talent by providing financial protection and security.	Fixed

Base Salary

We generally set our executives’ base salaries at slightly below the 50th percentile of our peer group, with the assumption that if we achieve our operating profit and revenue growth target levels, the executive will receive total cash compensation at or above the 50th percentile of our peer group. In 2013, total compensation of our former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fishman, was targeted at the 75^th percentile, due to his long tenure at the Company. In May 2013, when the Board of Directors promoted Mr. Roche to the role of Chief Executive Officer following Mr. Fishman’s death, Mr. Roche’s total compensation was targeted at the 30th percentile because he was newly promoted to the position.

2013 Executive Performance Incentive Plan

In October 2012, the Compensation Committee approved the terms of our 2013 Executive Performance Incentive Plan, or the executive performance incentive plan. The plan is designed to be variable, depending on ADI’s operating results. Executive and employee bonuses are calculated using the same plan targets.

All executive officers, including our NEOs, participated in our executive performance incentive plan. We calculated and paid bonuses under the 2013 plan as follows:

Base

Salary

Individual

Target

Bonus

Individual Target Bonus Percentage. For fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee set target percentages of 150% for our Chief Executive Officer and between 75%—90% for our remaining NEOs. The Compensation Committee selected these target bonus percentages to ensure that a substantial portion of each executive’s cash compensation is linked directly to our business performance, and to ensure that total compensation is competitive with companies in our peer group. Our Chief Executive Officer’s target was set at 150% in order to tie the majority of his cash compensation directly to Company performance. The bonus target for our remaining NEOs provides those executives with a performance-based opportunity to earn target total compensation (consisting of salary, bonus and equity awards) at approximately the 50^th percentile of the peer group.

Bonus Payout Factor. For fiscal 2013, we based the Bonus Payout Factor for the applicable quarterly bonus period on our OPBT as a percentage of revenue and revenue growth compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The OPBT and revenue growth targets for fiscal 2013 were 30% and 8%, respectively. These targets were equally applicable to our executives and our non-executive employees. The profitability target reflects the improvements we have made to our business performance in recent years. The growth target was chosen following review of the growth rates of our business and those of our peers in recent years.

While our executive performance incentive plan contains quarterly performance targets, the Compensation Committee designed this plan to drive long-term performance. The targets are directly linked to our long-term corporate strategy of improving operating profits and increasing revenue growth. We believe this combination ensures that we encourage a long-term focus on our business objectives, while measuring and rewarding progress against those objectives on a quarterly basis.

The Compensation Committee may adjust the OPBT and revenue growth metrics in its sole discretion to exclude special items such as (but not limited to) restructuring-related expense, acquisition-related expense, gain or loss on disposition of businesses, non-recurring royalty payments, and other similar non-cash or non-recurring items. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, exclude these items in order to prevent payments under the plan from being adversely or advantageously affected by one-time events.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our compensation targets at the beginning of each fiscal year, and historically these targets have not been re-set during the year, regardless of Company performance or economic conditions. We believe that this approach fosters accountability for our business results and is in keeping with our core belief that variable compensation expense, which increases when our performance is good and contracts when it is poor, gives us maximum flexibility to operate our business. While the OPBT and revenue growth targets are set annually, we measure performance against those targets on a quarterly basis, applying the corresponding Bonus Payout Factor to base salary for that quarter, and pay the bonus amounts on a semi-annual basis following the end of the second and fourth quarters.

We selected the OPBT and revenue growth targets in part based on the five-year averages of those metrics for our peer group. The five-year average OPBT for our peer group was 19%, compared to our target of 30% in fiscal 2013. The five-year average revenue growth for our peer group was 3%, compared to our target of 8% in fiscal 2013. Given historical profit margins in the industry, we do not pay any bonus if profit margins fall below 20%, regardless of what revenue level we achieve. If revenue declines, we do not pay on that portion of the bonus. We capped the Bonus Payout Factor at 300% for profit margins above 40% and revenue growth levels above 28%.

For fiscal 2013, the calculated OPBT, Revenue Growth and Bonus Payout Factor for each quarter were as follows:


	OPBT (50% weight)		Revenue Growth (50% weight)		Quarterly Bonus Payout Factor (average)
	OPBT as a Percentage of Revenue (by quarter)	Bonus Payout Factor (by quarter)	YTY Revenue Growth (by quarter)	Bonus Payout Factor (by quarter)	Quarterly Bonus Payout Factor (average)
Q1	26.9%	0.69	3.4%	0.43	0.56
Q2	30.0%	1.00	0%	0	0.50
Q3	30.9%	1.18	0%	0	0.59
Q4	31.8%	1.36	0%	0	0.68

In fiscal 2013, a year in which we maintained strong profitability but revenue declined, aggregate payments under our executive performance incentive plan were made at 58% of target, which represents a decline of 43% over the prior year.

Funding of Executive Performance Incentive Plan. In order for any amount to be paid to certain of our executive officers under our executive performance incentive plan, such amounts would have to be funded under our Executive Section 162(m) Plan, or the 162(m) plan, which is a separate shareholder approved plan. The 162(m) plan is designed to ensure that the annual bonus compensation paid to certain of our executive officers under our executive performance incentive plan is not subject to the deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In fiscal 2013, Mr. Roche was our only executive officer designated to participate under the 162(m) plan. Under the 162(m) plan, at the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee allocates to each designated participant a portion of the annual incentive pool which is funded with 2% of the Company’s profits as described in the plan. Under the 162(m) plan, the Compensation Committee may use its discretion to decrease, but not increase, the amounts that may be paid to the participants out of their allocation of the funded incentive pool. The Compensation Committee has exercised this discretion by applying the performance goals of our executive performance incentive plan to the participants’ allocation of the funded incentive pool. For fiscal 2013, the 162(m) plan funded the incentive pool with an aggregate of $8.3 million, of which an aggregate of $0.3 million was distributed to the participants based on achievement of the performance goals under our executive performance incentive plan.

Equity Compensation

Our equity compensation program is a broad-based, long-term employee retention program that is intended to attract, retain and motivate our employees, officers and directors and to align their interests with those of our shareholders. We believe that our equity program is critical to our efforts to hire and retain the best talent in the extremely competitive analog semiconductor industry. We use stock options as a way to reward long-term value creation and RSUs as a retention tool and to enable our executives to accumulate stock ownership in the Company. In a volatile stock market, RSUs continue to provide value when stock options may not, which the Compensation Committee believes will be useful in retaining talented executives and employees in uncertain economic times. This mix of stock options and RSUs is a common practice among our peer group. Consistent with our Compensation Committee’s desire to tie pay to performance, the value of both of these awards is directly linked to the long-term performance of our stock price.

Our equity awards to our executives and other employees eligible to receive them are generally comprised of 50% of stock options that vest over five years, and 50% of RSUs that vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. We believe that meaningful vesting periods encourage recipients to remain with ADI over the long term. Because the value of the awards is based on our stock price, stock options and RSUs encourage recipients to focus on achievement of longer-term goals, such as strategic opportunities, technological innovation and shareholder return.

We set a goal each year to keep the shareholder dilution related to our equity compensation program to a certain percentage, calculated as the total number of shares of common stock underlying new equity grants made during the year, divided by the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock at the beginning of the year. Our gross and net dilution rate have been consistently lower than that of our peers over the past several years. For fiscal 2013, our gross dilution percentage was 1.6%, compared to an average of 4.4% for our peer group, and our net dilution percentage was 1.5%, compared to an average of 3.3% for our peers. For the last five years, our gross dilution percentage was 1.8% on average, compared to 4.7% on average for our peer group, and our net dilution percentage was 1.0% on average, compared to 2.8% on average for our peer group. For fiscal 2014, we set the maximum gross dilution percentage related to our equity program at 2.0%, which remains unchanged from fiscal 2013.

In 2014, if our shareholders approve our Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee intends to add performance-based vesting to a portion of our executives’

annual equity grants. The Compensation Committee anticipates granting approximately 33% of our executives’ annual grants in the form of performance-based RSU awards, under which the number of shares of ADI common stock received following vesting will be based on ADI’s TSR performance measured against the TSR of our peer group of companies over a three-year period.

The Compensation Committee determined to add these performance-based RSUs for our executives to ensure a direct link exists between the value of our long-term incentives and the value that is created for our shareholders.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

Under our guidelines, the target stock ownership levels are two times annual base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and one times annual base salary for other executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer has four years to achieve his targeted level. Executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer have five years to achieve their targeted level. Shares subject to unexercised options, whether or not vested, will not be counted for purposes of satisfying these guidelines. RSUs (whether or not vested) are counted for purposes of satisfying the guidelines. All of our executive officers were in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines as of the end of fiscal 2013.

Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

We maintain broad-based benefits for all employees, including health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance and retirement plans. Executives are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans on the same basis as our other employees. The retirement and other employee benefit component of our executive compensation program is designed to attract excellent candidates by providing financial protection and security, and reward our executives for the total commitment we expect from them in service to ADI.

We maintain a Deferred Compensation Plan under which our executive officers and directors, along with a group of highly compensated management and engineering employees, are eligible to defer receipt of some or all of their cash compensation. This plan offers many of the same investment options as our 401(k) plan. Under our DCP, we provide all participants (other than non-employee directors) with Company contributions equal to 8% of eligible deferred contributions.

In the United States, we contribute to our 401(k) plan on behalf all participants, including our NEOs, amounts equal to 5% of the employee’s eligible compensation, plus matching contributions up to an additional 3%, subject to Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, limits. For those employees who also participate in the DCP described above, any compensation that is deferred under that plan is not considered eligible compensation for purposes of our Company contributions under the 401(k) plan. We also provide employees who are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan but whose compensation is greater than the amount that may be taken into account in any plan year as a result of IRS limits ($250,000 for fiscal 2013), with a taxable payment equal to 8% of the employee’s 401(k)-eligible compensation in excess of the IRS limit.

The Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan is a defined-benefit pension plan covering all employees of our Irish subsidiaries, including Messrs. Marshall and McAdam. This plan is described more fully below under “— Pension Benefits.” The Analog Devices International Investment Partnership Plan is a defined-contribution plan covering all executive employees of our Irish subsidiaries, including Messrs. Marshall and McAdam. Under this plan, we match employee contributions to the Analog Devices International Investment Partnership Plan, up to a maximum of 4% of their annual salary, subject to limits established by the Irish tax authorities.

Limited Perquisites

We do not award extensive perquisites to our executives. The only perquisites that we generally provide to our executives are automobiles and certain commuting expenses for Messrs. Marshall, McAdam and Meaney. In

fiscal 2013, we reimbursed Mr. Meaney for his expenses in connection with his relocation to the United States. These items are detailed in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Compensation Recovery

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. We expect to implement a clawback policy in accordance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations that will be issued under that Act. We have elected to wait until the SEC issues guidance regarding the proper form of a clawback policy in order to ensure that we implement a fully compliant policy, rather than implementing a policy that may require significant amendment after the SEC regulations are released.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

In March 2013, when our longtime Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fishman, died unexpectedly, Mr. Roche, our President, was named interim Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Roche was promoted to the Chief Executive Officer role on a permanent basis in May 2013.

In determining Mr. Roche’s compensation as Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considered all elements of Mr. Roche’s compensation, including an equity grant valued at $2,000,000, which Mr. Roche received in October 2012 (our prior fiscal year) in connection with his promotion to President. As Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roche’s compensation is comprised of the following:

•

Annual base salary of $715,000;

•

Annual target bonus of 150% of base salary, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan; and

•

an RSU grant with a Black-Scholes value of $765,304 (18,265 shares) and an option grant with a Black-Scholes value of $805,110 (102,690 shares). Mr. Roche’s RSU grant will vest in full on the third anniversary of its grant date, and Mr. Roche’s option grant will vest 20% per year on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. These vesting terms are identical to those contained in all employee equity grants.

The Compensation Committee set Mr. Roche’s total compensation for fiscal 2013 (including in their calculation the value of his 2012 equity grant) at the 30^th percentile of Chief Executive Officer compensation of our peer companies. The Compensation Committee believed that Mr. Roche’s 2013 compensation is appropriate because it is Mr. Roche’s first year serving in the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Our prior Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fishman, earned compensation in 2013 of $1,663,124. That total was comprised of base salary of $413,672 earned from the commencement of our 2013 fiscal year through the date of his death in March 2013; and $1,249,452 in bonus payments, calculated by adding Mr. Fishman’s 2013 individual target bonus percentage of 160% of his annual base salary plus an additional bonus equal to his annual bonus multiplied by two, not to exceed $5 million in any year. Upon his death, the Company paid Mr. Fishman’s estate his first half bonus calculated using a multiplier of .53, which was the percentile applied to the bonus targets of all employees of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Performance Incentive Plan. The Company also provided to Mr. Fishman $55,000 in tax and estate planning services.

Compensation for Other Named Executive Officers

Base Salary

During fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee authorized base salaries for our NEOs (other than our Chief Executive Officer), as follows:


Name of Executive	2013 Base Salary		2012 Base Salary		% Increase

David A. Zinsner	$	470,000	$	450,000		4.4	%

Robert R. Marshall	$	470,000	$	450,000		4.4	%

Robert P. McAdam	$	470,000	$	450,000		4.4	%

Richard A. Meaney	$	400,000	$	308,443		29.7	%

The Compensation Committee increased the base salaries of Messrs. Zinsner, Marshall and McAdam in order to maintain their salaries within the range of comparable salaries in our peer group. Mr. Meaney’s salary was increased significantly in connection with his promotion from Vice President, Converters, in which he led engineering for our core product line, to Vice President, Products and Technology Group, in which he assumed leadership over all of the Company’s product lines.

Equity Awards

The size of the equity awards approved by our Compensation Committee for our executives reflect the executive’s individual responsibilities and where that person is in his or her career with ADI. In fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee authorized grants of stock options and RSUs to our NEOs (other than our Chief Executive Officer), as follows:


Name of Executive	Stock Options		RSUs

David A. Zinsner		102,900		17,855

Robert R. Marshall		102,900		17,855

Robert P. McAdam		102,900		17,855

Richard A. Meaney		28,990		5,300

In granting awards to Messrs. Zinsner, Marshall, McAdam and Meaney, the Compensation Committee considered the equity compensation levels of comparable executives at our peer group, as well as the equity already held by each executive. With respect to Mr. Meaney, the Compensation Committee included in their analysis of appropriate compensation the value of Mr. Meaney’s October 2012 equity grants of 36,000 stock options and 6,250 RSUs, which he received in connection with his promotion to Vice President, Products and Technology Group.

Severance, Retention and Change in Control Benefits

We enter into change in control retention agreements with each of our executive officers and other key employees. Among other things, these retention agreements provide for severance benefits if the employee’s service with us is terminated within 24 months after a change in control (as defined in each agreement) that was approved by our Board of Directors. See “— Change in Control Retention Agreements” below for additional information about these agreements.

We designed the change in control retention agreements to help ensure that our executive team is able to evaluate objectively whether a potential change in control transaction is in the best interests of ADI and our shareholders, without having to be concerned about their future employment. We believe that retaining the

services of our key executives during a change in control scenario is critical. These agreements help ensure the continued services of our executive officers throughout the change in control transaction by giving them incentives to remain with us rather than seeking alternative employment or being recruited to a competitor during a highly uncertain time. The Compensation Committee reviewed prevalent market practices in determining the severance amounts and the events that trigger payments under the agreements. The Compensation Committee determined that the amounts and triggering events were appropriate and designed to encourage decision-making that is in the best interests of ADI. In fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee asked PM&P, its compensation consultant, to review our severance, retention and change in control arrangements and PM&P determined that those arrangements were consistent with existing market practice in the semiconductor industry. Change in control retention agreements entered into between the Company and eligible employees since 2009 do not contain excess parachute payment tax gross-up provisions.

Under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, in the event of a change in control, all of our employees, including our NEOs, if they remain employed by ADI, would have one-half of the shares of common stock subject to their then outstanding unvested options accelerate and become immediately exercisable and one-half of their unvested RSUs would vest. The remaining one-half of the unvested options or RSUs would continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules, and any remaining unvested options or RSUs would vest if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the change in control, his or her employment is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason” (as defined in the plan). We have provided more detailed information about these benefits, along with estimates of their value under various circumstances, under the caption “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Equity Award Grant Date Policy

Our Compensation Committee has adopted specific policies regarding the grant dates of stock options, RSUs and other stock-based awards for our executive officers and employees. In each case, the exercise price of stock options equals the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

•

New Hire Grants: The grant date of all awards to newly hired executive officers and employees is the 15^th day of the month after the date on which the individual commences employment with us (or the next succeeding business day that NASDAQ is open).

•

Annual Grants: The grant date of all annual awards is the earlier to occur of (i) the business day immediately prior to the scheduled date of the annual meeting of shareholders, or (ii) the first business day of April that NASDAQ is open.

•

Other Grants: All other awards granted to existing executive officers and employees throughout the year (off-cycle awards) have a grant date of the 15^th day of the month (or the next succeeding business day that NASDAQ is open) provided the award is approved on or prior to such grant date.

•

Foreign Registrations: Any awards requiring registration or approval in a foreign jurisdiction will have a grant date of the 15th day of the month (or the next succeeding business day that NASDAQ is open) following the effective date of that registration or approval.

•

Blackout Periods: We do not authorize off-cycle awards to our executive officers during the quarterly and annual blackout periods under our insider trading policy. The quarterly and annual blackout periods begin three weeks before the end of each fiscal quarter and end on the third business day after we announce our quarterly earnings.

We describe the equity award grant date policy for our non-employee directors above under “Corporate Governance — Director Compensation.”

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a company’s chief executive officer

and the other executive officers whose compensation is required to be disclosed to our shareholders under the Exchange Act by reason of being among our most highly compensated officers (excluding the chief financial officer). Certain compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation, will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. In fiscal 2013, the shareholders approved our 162(m) plan which is intended to allow the annual bonuses that we pay to our executives to be exempt from Section 162(m) as qualified performance-based compensation. However, the Compensation Committee reviews the potential effect of Section 162(m) periodically, and the Compensation Committee reserves the right to use its judgment to authorize compensation payments that may be subject to the Section 162(m) deduction limit when the Compensation Committee believes such payments are appropriate and in the best interests of ADI and our shareholders, after taking into consideration changing business conditions and the performance of our employees.

Messrs. Roche, Zinsner, Marshall and McAdam have change in control retention agreements that contain provisions regarding Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

We expense in our financial statements the compensation that we pay to our executive officers, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As one of many factors, the Compensation Committee considers the financial statement impact in determining the amount of, and allocation among the elements of, compensation. We account for stock-based compensation under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and all predecessor plans in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Risk Considerations in Our Compensation Program

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors and reviewed these items with its independent consultant, PM&P. In addition, our Compensation Committee asked PM&P to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive compensation program. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee does not believe our compensation program encourages excessive or inappropriate risk taking for the following reasons:

•

We structure our pay to consist of both fixed and variable compensation with short- and long-term horizons. The fixed (salary) portion of compensation is designed to provide a steady income regardless of ADI’s stock price performance. The variable (cash bonus and stock option) portions of compensation are designed to reward both short- and long-term corporate performance. For short-term performance, our cash bonus is awarded based on OPBT and revenue growth targets. For long-term performance, our employee stock option awards generally vest over five years and our RSUs generally vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. Commencing in 2014, we anticipate that our NEOs will receive approximately 33% of their equity grants in the form of performance-based equity, which will be based on our TSR over a three-year period as compared to our peer companies. The value of all of their equity grants is exclusively dependent on our stock price performance. We feel that these variable elements of compensation are a sufficient percentage of overall compensation to motivate executives to produce superior short- and long-term corporate results, while the fixed element is also sufficiently high that the executives are not encouraged to take unnecessary or excessive risks in doing so.

•

Because OPBT and revenue growth are the performance measures for determining our cash incentive payments, we believe our executives are encouraged to take a balanced approach that focuses on corporate operating profits before taxes and revenue growth. If we do not achieve positive revenue growth, bonus payments for that element of the cash bonus program are not paid, and no payments are made under the program if we achieve OPBT of less than 20%.

•

We believe that our focus on both OPBT and revenue growth through our cash bonus program, and stock price performance through our equity compensation program provides a check on excessive risk taking. That is, even if our executives could inappropriately increase OPBT or revenue by excessively reducing expenses or adding new revenue sources that are inconsistent with our business model, this

would be detrimental to ADI in the long run and could ultimately harm our stock price and the value of their equity awards. Conversely, if our executives were to add revenue sources at low margins in order to generate a higher growth multiple and increased stock prices, it could decrease OPBT and the value of their cash bonus payments. As a result, we believe our compensation program has appropriate balance and incentives to produce superior short- and long-term corporate results.

•

Our OPBT and revenue targets are applicable to our executives and employees alike across the organization. We believe this encourages consistent behavior across the organization.

•

We cap our bonus payout factors at 300% also subject to the 162(m) plan limitations for participants in that plan. Even if we dramatically exceed our OPBT or revenue targets, bonus payments are limited. Conversely, we have a floor on the OPBT target so that profitability below a certain level will result in no bonus payments, regardless of revenue growth levels. We believe this avoids incentivizing management to drive revenue levels without regard to profitability.

•

We have strict accounting policies and internal controls over the measurement and calculation of OPBT and revenue. For example, we do not recognize product revenue until our distributors sell those products to their customers. As a result, our product revenue fully reflects end customer purchases and is not impacted by distributor inventory levels.

•

We have stock ownership guidelines, which we believe provide an incentive for management to consider ADI’s long-term interests because a portion of their personal investment portfolio consists of ADI stock. In addition, we prohibit all hedging transactions involving our stock so our directors, executives and employees cannot insulate themselves from the effects of ADI stock price performance.

•

We have adopted a policy to prohibit our directors and executive officers from holding any Company securities in a margin account, and, as of 2013, from pledging of their Company securities as collateral for a loan.

We have equity award grant date guidelines that prohibit the timing or coordination of grants with the release of material information.

(1)

Messrs. Marshall’s and McAdam’s salaries are denominated in U.S. dollars, but we pay them in euros. We calculate the euro equivalent by using the prior month’s average exchange rate. Commencing in January 2013, Mr. Marshall’s salary is paid in pounds sterling, calculated in the same manner. Mr. Meaney relocated to the United States from Ireland in February 2013. Prior to such relocation, his salary was paid in euros. We calculated the U.S. dollar equivalent by using the average yearly exchange rate, or 0.7581 euro per U.S. dollar for fiscal 2013.

(2)

These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock option and RSU awards for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts do not represent the actual amounts paid to or realized by the NEO for these awards during the respective fiscal years. We recognize the value as of the grant date for stock options and RSUs over the number of days of service required for the grant to become vested.

The following table includes the assumptions we used to calculate the grant date fair value reported for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 on a grant-by-grant basis.

Entries above with asterisks (*) are RSUs and entries without asterisks are stock options. The grant date fair value of RSUs represents the value of our common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our common stock prior to vesting. The grant date fair value of stock options is computed using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology. For a more detailed description of the assumptions used for purposes of determining grant date fair value, see Note 3 to the Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Stock-Based Compensation,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 2, 2013.

(3)	On October 15, 2012, the Company granted Mr. Fishman an award of 200,000 RSUs pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The RSUs granted to Mr. Fishman accelerated in full upon his death in accordance with the terms of his restricted stock agreement.

(4)

In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, we paid these amounts under our executive performance incentive plan. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for a discussion of how these amounts were determined under the plan. Messrs. Marshall’s and McAdam’s amounts above are denominated in U.S. dollars, but we pay them in euros. We calculate the euro equivalent by using the prior month’s average exchange rate for each of the three months within the quarter in which the bonus is earned. Commencing in January 2013, Mr. Marshall’s bonus is paid in pounds sterling, calculated in the same manner.

(5)

The values shown in the table represent the increase in pension values in each respective year. The increases included are denominated in euros. We calculated the U.S. dollar amount for fiscal 2013 using the exchange rate as of November 1, 2013, or 0.7356 euro per U.S. dollar, fiscal 2012 using the exchange rate as of November 1, 2012, or 0.7729 euro per U.S. dollar and for fiscal 2011 using the exchange rate as of November 1, 2011, or 0.7316 euro per U.S. dollar. The values reported do not include an aggregate decrease in the actuarial present value during fiscal 2011 for Messrs. McAdam and Roche of $610,753 and $43,513, respectively, under the Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan.

(6)

For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, these amounts include $832,968, $2,989,304 and $5,000,000, respectively, that was payable to Mr. Fishman under his employment agreement dated January 14, 2010. The amount earned in each of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 is equal to two times the amount of his bonus payable under our executive performance incentive plan for that year, subject to a $5 million cap.

(7)

These amounts include $40,443, $29,726 and $49,478 for Mr. Marshall and $38,486, $36,380 and $33,137 for Mr. McAdam for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $28,735 for Mr. Meaney for fiscal 2013, for repairs, gas, tax, insurance, and certain commuting expenses related to their use of Company-owned automobiles. These amounts also include $23,558 for Mr. Meaney for fiscal 2013 and $16,445 for Mr. Marshall and $9,175 for Mr. McAdam for fiscal 2011, respectively, which we contributed under our retirement arrangements, including the Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan and the Analog Devices International Investment Partnership Plan. The automobile costs are incurred in euros. We calculated the U.S. dollar equivalent by using the average yearly exchange rate, or 0.7581 euro per U.S. dollar for fiscal 2013, 0.7737 euro per U.S. dollar for fiscal 2012 and 0.7172 euro per U.S. dollar for fiscal 2011.

(8)	In addition to amounts detailed above in footnotes 5 and 6, the amounts shown in the “All Other Compensation” column are comprised of the following:

(1)

The amounts shown in the threshold, target and maximum columns reflect the minimum, target and maximum amounts payable under our executive performance incentive plan, respectively. Amounts in the maximum column above reflect 300% of the executive’s target bonus, which is the cap under the plan. The actual amounts we paid are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table above and were as follows:


Name	Actual Payout under Non-Equity Incentive Plans for Fiscal 2013
Jerald G. Fishman	$	416,484
Vincent T. Roche	$	481,162
David A. Zinsner	$	242,055
Robert R. Marshall	$	243,784
Robert P. McAdam	$	243,784
Richard A. Meaney	$	174,929

See “— Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for a discussion of how these amounts were determined under our executive performance incentive plan. These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)	Represents RSUs granted under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. These units vest, so long as the executive continues to be employed with us, in one installment on the third anniversary of the grant date. Dividends are not payable on unvested RSUs.

(3)	Represents stock options granted under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. These options become exercisable, so long as the executive continues to be employed with us, in five equal annual installments on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date.

(4)	The exercise price per share is equal to the closing price per share of our common stock on the date of grant.

(5)

This amount does not represent the actual amount paid to or realized by the executives for these awards during the fiscal year. This amount represents the grant date fair value of the RSUs, which is the value of our common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our common stock prior to vesting. The grant date fair value per share of the awards granted to Messrs. Zinsner, Marshall, McAdam and Meaney on March 12, 2013 was $42.43. The grant date fair value per share of the awards granted to Mr. Roche on June 17, 2013 was $41.90. The grant date fair value per share of the awards granted to Mr. Meaney on September 16, 2013 was $44.27. The grant date fair value is generally the amount that we would expense in our financial statements over the award’s service period, but does not include a reduction for forfeitures.

(6)

The grant date fair value of these stock options was $7.8402 per share and was computed using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology. We estimated the full grant date fair value of these options using the following assumptions: 1.16% risk free interest rate; 2.960% dividend yield; 25.84% expected volatility; and a 5.4-year expected life. The grant date fair value is generally the amount that we would expense in our financial statements over the award’s service period, but does not include a reduction for forfeitures.

(7)

The grant date fair value of each of these stock options was $7.3714 per share and was computed using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology. We estimated the full grant date fair value of these options using the following assumptions: 0.98% risk free interest rate; 2.926% dividend yield; 24.57% expected volatility; and a 5.4-year expected life. The grant date fair value is generally the amount that we would expense in our financial statements over the award’s service period, but does not include a reduction for forfeitures.

(8)

The grant date fair value of these stock options was $8.7925 per share and was computed using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology. We estimated the full grant date fair value of these options using the following assumptions: 1.77% risk free interest rate; 2.816% dividend yield; 25.51% expected volatility; and a 5.4-year expected life. The grant date fair value is generally the amount that we would expense in our financial statements over the award’s service period, but does not include a reduction for forfeitures.

Pension Benefits

The Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan is a defined-benefit pension plan covering the employees of our Irish subsidiaries, including Messrs. Marshall and McAdam. Messrs. Roche and Meaney previously worked for one of our Irish subsidiaries, and have accumulated benefits under this plan. Both are currently U.S. employees and therefore are not active members of the plan. This plan is consistent with defined-benefit pension plans commonly offered in Ireland and, because our Irish executives are not eligible to participate in our U.S.- based 401(k) plan, we make this comparable plan available to them.

A participant in this pension plan will be entitled to receive an annual pension equal to the sum of 1/60th of the participant’s “final pensionable salary,” multiplied by the number of years of “pensionable service” with us. “Final pensionable salary” is the annual average of the three highest consecutive “pensionable salaries” during the ten years preceding the normal retirement date or the termination date, if earlier. “Pensionable salary” at any date is the salary on that date less an amount equal to one and one-half times the State Pension payable under the Social Welfare Acts in Ireland. “Pensionable service” is the period of service of the participant with us up to the earliest to occur of the following: The normal retirement date, the date of the participant’s retirement or the date on which the participant’s service with us terminates. The normal retirement date under the pension plan is the last day of the month in which a participant attains his or her 65th birthday.

As part of their employment arrangements with us, Messrs. Marshall and McAdam are entitled to retire at age 60 and have their pension benefits increased to two-thirds of final pensionable salary. Compensation covered under this pension plan includes the salaries shown in the Summary Compensation Table above.

The following table sets forth the estimated present value of accumulated pension benefits for our NEOs as of November 2, 2013:

Pension Benefits for Fiscal 2013


Name	Plan Name	Number of Years Credited Service (1)		Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($)(2)(3)
Jerald G. Fishman	—		—		—

Vincent T. Roche	The Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan		5		198,357

David A. Zinsner	—		—		—

Robert R. Marshall	The Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan		37		4,668,621

Robert P. McAdam	The Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan		40		3,828,022

Richard A. Meaney	The Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan		36		3,142,622

(1)

The number of credited years of service is greater than the amount of actual years of service for Messrs. Marshall, McAdam and Meaney by nine years, twelve years and two years, respectively. The additional years of service represent the prorated amount of additional service years they have earned and are entitled to under the plan. The number of credited years of service is equal to the amount of actual years of service for Mr. Roche.

(2)	The present value of accumulated benefit for each of Messrs. Marshall, McAdam, Meaney and Roche assume the benefits are paid at normal retirement age.

(3)

The assumptions and valuation methods that we used to calculate the present value of the accumulated pension benefits shown are the same as those that we use for financial reporting purposes. The calculations use a discount rate of 4.00%, and a standard mortality table that assumes male members live approximately 29 years after age 60.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

Since 1995, our executive officers and directors, along with some of our management and engineering employees, have been eligible to participate in our Deferred Compensation Plan. We established the DCP to provide participants with the opportunity to defer receiving all or a portion of their compensation, which includes salary, bonus, director fees and Company matching contributions. Under our DCP, we provide all participants (other than non-employee directors) with Company contributions equal to 8% of eligible deferred contributions. Before January 1, 2005, participants could also defer gains on stock options and restricted stock awards that were granted before July 23, 1997. We have operated the DCP in a manner we believe is consistent with IRS guidance regarding non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

We credit each participant’s account with earnings on the deferred amounts. These earnings represent the amounts that the participant would have earned if the deferred amounts had been invested in one or more of the various investment options selected by the participant. Under the terms of the DCP, only the payment of the

compensation earned is deferred; we do not defer the expense in our financial statements related to the participant’s deferred compensation and investment earnings. We charge the salary, bonuses, director fees and investment earnings on deferred balances to our income statement as an expense in the period in which the participant earned the compensation. Our balance sheet includes separate line items for Deferred Compensation Plan Investments and Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities.

We hold DCP assets in a separate Rabbi trust segregated from other assets. We invest in the same investment alternatives that the DCP participants select for their DCP balances. Participants whose employment with us terminates due to retirement after reaching age 62, disability or death will be paid their DCP balance in either a lump sum or in installments over ten or fewer years, based on the elections they have made. Participants (other than key employees, including our NEOs) who terminate their employment with us for any other reason will receive payment of their DCP balance in the form of a lump sum upon their termination of employment. Payments to our NEOs and key employees will be delayed six months and as otherwise required by relevant tax regulations.

Messrs. Marshall and McAdam are not eligible to participate in the DCP because it is available only to U.S. taxpayers. Mr. Meaney became eligible to participate in the DCP upon his relocation to the United States in February 2013. The following table shows the non-qualified deferred compensation activity for Messrs. Fishman, Roche, Zinsner and Meaney during fiscal 2013:

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2013


Name	Executive Contributions in Last Fiscal Year ($)		Analog Devices Contributions in Last Fiscal Year ($)(1)		Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year ($)(2)		Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions ($)			Aggregate Balance at Last Fiscal Year End ($)
Jerald G. Fishman		—		—		60,175		(14,994,058	)		—
Vincent T. Roche		4,135		331		107,527		—			605,361
David A. Zinsner		—		—		84		—			88,926
Richard A. Meaney		92,308		7,385		16		—			99,709

(1)	These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table above in the “All Other Compensation” column.

(2)	These amounts are excluded from the Summary Compensation Table above in accordance with SEC regulations, as we did not pay above-market earnings on deferred compensation in fiscal 2013.

Change in Control Retention Agreements

We enter into change in control retention agreements with each of our executive officers and other key employees. These agreements provide for severance benefits if any of the following occurs:

•

within 24 months after a change in control (as defined in each agreement) that was approved by our Board of Directors, we terminate the employee’s employment with us for a reason other than “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or the employee’s death or disability;

•

within 24 months after a change in control that was approved by our Board of Directors, the employee terminates his or her employment for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement); or

•

within 12 months after a change in control that was not approved by our Board of Directors, we or the employee terminates the employee’s employment with us for a reason other than “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or the employee’s death or disability.

For purposes of our change in control retention agreements, a “change in control” occurs when:

•

any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of our outstanding securities;

•

our shareholders approve specified mergers of ADI with another entity; or

•

our shareholders approve a plan of liquidation or sale of all, or substantially all, of ADI’s assets.

These agreements provide for the following severance benefits in the event of termination following a change in control approved by the Board of Directors:

•

a lump-sum payment equal to 200% (299% in the case of certain employees who are parties to the agreements, including each of our NEOs) of the sum of the employee’s annual base salary (as of the date of termination or the date of the change in control, whichever is higher) plus the total cash bonuses paid or awarded to him or her in the four fiscal quarters preceding his or her termination; and

•

the continuation of life, disability, dental, accident and group health insurance benefits for a period of 24 months.

If payments to the employee under his or her agreement (together with any other payments or benefits, including the accelerated vesting of stock options or restricted stock awards that the employee receives in connection with a change in control) would trigger the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the change in control employee retention agreements provide for the payment of an additional amount so that the employee receives, net of excise taxes, the amount he or she would have been entitled to receive in the absence of the excise tax provided in Section 4999 of the Code. In September 2009, our Compensation Committee eliminated this provision from any new employee retention agreements.

Each agreement provides that, in the event of a potential change in control (as defined in each agreement), the employee will not voluntarily resign as an employee, subject to certain conditions, for at least six months after the change in control occurs. The Compensation Committee reviews these agreements each year, and the agreements automatically renew each year unless we give the employee three months’ notice that his or her agreement will not be extended.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Payments upon a change in control for our NEOs are calculated based upon the change-in-control retention agreements described above under “— Change in Control Retention Agreements.” Under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, in the event of a change in control, all of our employees, including our NEOs, if they remain employed by ADI, would have one-half of the shares of common stock subject to their then-outstanding unvested options accelerate and become immediately exercisable and one-half of their unvested RSUs would vest. The remaining one-half of the unvested options or RSUs would continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules, and any remaining unvested options or RSUs would vest if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the change in control, his or her employment is terminated without cause or for good reason.

Upon a change in control approved by the Board of Directors, if we terminate an executive officer’s employment for cause or if the executive officer terminates his or her employment other than for good reason, then the executive officer will receive his or her full base salary and all other compensation through the date of termination at the rate in effect at the time that the termination notice is given and we will have no further obligations to the executive officer. When the employment of an executive officer terminates in a situation that does not involve a change in control, the officer is entitled to receive the same benefits as any other terminating employee. This applies regardless of the reason for termination.

The following tables quantify the amounts that would be payable to the NEOs named in the Summary Compensation Table upon termination of their employment. The amounts shown assume that the terminations were effective on the last day of our fiscal year, or November 2, 2013. The tables do not include the accumulated benefit under the Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan or our DCP that would be paid to our NEOs described above under “Pension Benefits” and “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan,” or any other employee benefits, except to the extent that the officer is entitled to an additional benefit as a result

of the termination. In addition, the tables do not include the value of vested but unexercised stock options held by each executive as of November 2, 2013. The actual amounts that would be paid out would depend on which options were exercised and, therefore, can only be determined at the time of the executive officer’s termination of employment.

(1)	The benefits shown are also payable if the executive officer voluntarily leaves within 12 months after a change in control that is not approved by our board of directors.

(2)

Amount represents the incremental benefit that would be granted to executives actively participating in the Analog Devices International Retirement and Death Benefit Plan (Messrs. Marshall and Meaney) upon death. Upon their death, executives receive a lump sum death benefit of four times their annual pensionable salary, while non-executive employees receive a lump sum death benefit of three times their annual pensionable salary. The amount reflected in the table reflects one year of the executive’s annual salary and represents the enhancement of the death benefit calculation for executives over non-executive employees.

(3)	Based upon a multiplier of 299% of the executive officer’s base salary.

(4)	Based upon a multiplier of 299% of the sum of the executive officer’s total cash bonuses awarded to him in the four fiscal quarters preceding his termination.

(5)

The value of accelerated unvested options as of November 2, 2013 is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of our common stock on NASDAQ on the last trading day of the fiscal year ($49.68 on November 1, 2013) and the option exercise price and multiplying it by the number of accelerated options. For RSUs, the value represents the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year multiplied by the number of accelerated units.

(6)	As of November 2, 2013, upon termination by us without cause or by the NEO for good reason after a change in control event, the officer would be entitled to acceleration of vesting of all outstanding unvested stock options or RSUs as follows:


Name	Number of Unvested Option Awards that Accelerate upon Termination After a Change in Control		Number of Unvested RSUs that Accelerate upon Termination After a Change in Control
Vincent T. Roche		345,356		69,875
David A. Zinsner		220,854		49,740
Robert R. Marshall		227,366		44,465
Robert P. McAdam		227,366		44,465
Richard A. Meaney		101,998		20,235

(7)	Amounts include life, disability, dental, accident and group health insurance benefit continuation for 24 months after a termination in connection with a change in control. The annual benefit costs for each

executive are: $17,506 for Mr. Roche, $14,574 for Mr. Zinsner, $5,722 for Mr. Marshall and $18,236 for Mr. Meaney. Mr. McAdam has reached his normal retirement age and is no longer eligible for the Company-provided life, disability, dental, accident and group health insurance benefit continuation.

Equity Award Program Description

Our equity award program is a broad-based, long-term employee retention program that is intended to attract, retain and motivate our employees, officers and directors and to align their interests with those of our shareholders. Under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, we may grant options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to all employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of ADI. All stock options have a term of ten years and for employees generally vest in five equal installments on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan does not permit us to grant options at exercise prices that are below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Generally, our employee RSUs vest in full on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

We can make equity award grants to executive officers and directors only from shareholder-approved plans after the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the grants. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors, as defined by the NASDAQ Rules.

(2)	Only stock option awards were used in computing the weighted-average exercise price.

(3)

Our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders in March 2006, allows for the issuance of 15 million shares of our common stock, plus any shares that were subject to outstanding options under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and our 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan as of January 23, 2006 that are subsequently terminated or expire without being exercised. Shares not issued as a result of a net settlement, used to pay withholding tax, or surrendered but not issued as new awards under a shareholder approved option exchange program are not available for use under the plan. Additionally, the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan provides that for purposes of determining the number of shares available for issuance under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, any restricted stock award, restricted stock unit or other stock-based award with a per share or per unit price lower than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, or a Full-Value Award, counts as three shares for each share subject to the Full-Value Award.

(4)

Consists of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan, which did not require the approval of shareholders and has not been approved by our shareholders. Since our adoption of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, we may make no further grants under the 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan. A description of the 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan appears below.

2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan

In December 2001, our Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan, or 2001 Plan, under which we were permitted to grant non-statutory stock options for up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and advisors of ADI and its subsidiaries, other than executive officers and directors. The 2001 Plan was filed most recently as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 2, 2002 (File No. 1-7819). In December 2002, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the 2001 Plan to provide that the terms of outstanding options under the 2001 Plan may not be amended to provide an option exercise price per share that is lower than the original option exercise price per share.

If ADI is reorganized or acquired, then the 2001 Plan requires our Board of Directors to ensure that the acquiring or succeeding entity assumes, or substitutes equivalent options for, all of the outstanding options. If not, all then unexercised options become exercisable in full and terminate immediately before the reorganization or acquisition is consummated. If the options are assumed or replaced with substituted options, then they would continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedules. If the reorganization event also constitutes a change in control of ADI, then one-half of the shares of common stock subject to then outstanding unvested options would become immediately exercisable and the remaining one-half of the unvested options would continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedules. However, any remaining unvested options held by an optionee would vest and become exercisable in full if, on or before the first anniversary of the change in control, the optionee’s employment were terminated without “cause” or for “good reason” (as those terms are defined in the 2001 Plan).

Since our adoption of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, our Board of Directors determined that we may make no further grants under the 2001 Plan. If any option previously granted under the 2001 Plan expires or is terminated, surrendered, canceled or forfeited after January 23, 2006, the unused shares of common stock covered by that option will be available for grant under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.

Employee Service Award Program

Our Employee Service Award Program is designed to recognize and thank employees for their long-term working relationship with ADI. All regular employees other than executive officers are eligible to receive these awards in the form of shares of our common stock. Our executive officers receive these awards in cash instead of stock. We grant these awards to employees starting with the employee’s tenth anniversary of employment with us, and after the tenth anniversary, we grant the awards at the end of each subsequent five-year period of employment with us. The value of the award at the employee’s tenth anniversary with us is $1,000 and the value of the award increases by $500 at each subsequent five-year service milestone. The number of shares awarded to an eligible employee is equal to the dollar value of the award divided by the closing per share price of our common stock as reported on NASDAQ on a specified date. The shares awarded are issued under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. Our Board of Directors may terminate, amend or suspend the program at any time at its discretion.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal 2013, Messrs. Novich, Saviers and Severino served as members of our Compensation Committee. No member of our Compensation Committee was at any time during fiscal 2013, or formerly, an officer or employee of ADI or any subsidiary of ADI. No member of our Compensation Committee had any

relationship with us during fiscal 2013 requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

During fiscal 2013, none of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity that had one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Report of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with our management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Introduction

We are asking our shareholders to approve an amendment and restatement of our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2006 Plan, at the Annual Meeting. Our 2006 Plan was originally adopted by our Board of Directors on January 23, 2006 and approved by our shareholders on March 14, 2006 and was subsequently amended by our Board of Directors in March 2006, June 2009, September 2009, December 2009, December 2010 and June 2011, which amendments implemented various changes to our foreign subplans and addressed the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. We refer to the 2006 Plan as amended by the foregoing amendments as the Amended 2006 Plan. On December 12, 2013, our Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of our Amended 2006 Plan, which we refer to as the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan, subject to the approval of our shareholders.

The Amended and Restated 2006 Plan contains several material changes to the Amended 2006 Plan that, in addition to increasing the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan, better align the plan with the most recent guidelines for equity incentive plans established by certain shareholders, the latest developments in law and accounting related to equity incentive plans, and current practices in equity compensation. In particular, the amendments included in the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan:

•

Increase the aggregate number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the plan by 19,000,000 shares;

•

Eliminate the fungible share counting provisions of the Amended 2006 Plan so that after the Annual Meeting, shares subject to all types of awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan will count against the available share limit as one share for every one share subject to the award, whereas under the Amended 2006 Plan, shares subject to awards of options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) counted as one share for every one share subject to the option or SAR, but shares subject to awards other than options and SARs (which we refer to as full-value awards) counted as three shares for every one share subject to the award;

•

Allow shares used to satisfy statutory minimum tax withholding obligations on full-value awards to be returned to the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan for the grant of future awards;

•

Provide that shares that we repurchase on the open market using proceeds from the exercise of awards will not increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan;

•

Require that discretionary awards to our non-employee directors be granted and administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, all of the members of which are independent as defined under the NASDAQ Rules;

•

Limit the number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted to each non-employee director to 50,000 per fiscal year;

•

Enhance the prohibitions on the repricing of options and SARs without shareholder approval;

•

Remove certain minimum vesting requirements for full-value awards (although it remains our general practice to grant all employee awards with vesting schedules of at least three years, or at least one year in the case of awards that vest based on the achievement of performance metrics);

•

Require that no dividends or dividend equivalents will be paid with respect to full-value awards unless and until the underlying award vests;

•

For purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code,

(i) confirm the limit on the number of shares that may be made subject to awards granted per participant under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan per fiscal year; and (ii) confirm existing, and

add new, performance criteria upon which performance goals may be based with respect to performance awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan;

•

Extend the term of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan until March 12, 2021; and

•

Make various clarifying changes for ease of administration, conformity with legal and accounting requirements and the current practices in equity compensation.

Why We Are Requesting Shareholder Approval of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan

The approval by our shareholders of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan will allow us to continue to grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock unit awards to our employees, officers and directors, as well as consultants and advisors. We believe that our ability to grant this broad array of equity incentives is critical to secure, retain and incent our talented service providers and to respond to market conditions and best practices, while at the same time balancing the dilution to our shareholders caused by our equity incentive programs.

The approval by our shareholders of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan will also constitute approval of the terms and conditions of the plan that allow us to grant stock options and performance awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) limits to $1 million the deduction that a public company may take with respect to compensation paid to its chief executive officer and the three other most highly compensated officers (other than the chief executive officer and chief financial officer). There is an exception to this deduction limitation, however, for “performance-based compensation” meeting the requirements of Section 162(m). Among those requirements, the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan must (i) describe the employees eligible to participate in the plan, (ii) provide a per-participant limit on the number of shares subject to awards that may be granted to any participant per fiscal year and (iii) include one or more business criteria upon which performance goals may be granted (or become vested or exercisable). These terms must be approved by shareholders and, accordingly, we request that our shareholders approve the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan so that we have the ability to grant awards under the plan that are exempt from the Section 162(m) deduction limitations should the Compensation Committee determine that doing so is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of the Amended and Restated Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Information Regarding Overhang and Dilution

Overhang is a measure of potential dilution and is defined as the sum of (i) the total number of shares underlying all equity awards outstanding and (ii) the total number of shares available for future award grants, divided by the sum of (a) the total number of shares underlying all equity awards outstanding, (b) the total number of shares available for future award grants and (c) the number of shares outstanding. Our overhang at November 2, 2013 was 7.4%. If the 19,000,000 shares proposed to be authorized for grant under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan are included in the calculation, our overhang at November 2, 2013 would have been 12.4%.

Burn rate provides a measure of the potential dilutive impact of our equity award program and is calculated by dividing the number of shares subject to equity awards granted during the year by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding. For fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, our burn rate was 1.6%, 2.0% and 1.6%, respectively.

Description of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan

The following is a brief description of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan. A copy of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Number of Shares Available for Awards and Share Counting Rules

The Amended and Restated 2006 Plan will have 34,000,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan. The 34,000,000 shares of common stock available for issuance consist of (i) 15,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Shares”), which became available for issuance in March 14, 2006, the date our shareholders first approved the 2006 Plan (the “Initial Effective Date”) and (ii) 19,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Additional Shares”), which will become available for issuance upon the approval of the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting (the “Amended Effective Date”). In addition, awards may be granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan with respect to any shares that were subject to outstanding options under the 1998 Stock Option and 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan, which we refer to as the Prior Plans, as of January 23, 2006, the date of the initial adoption of the 2006 Plan by the Board of Directors, but which shares are not issued under the Prior Plans as a result, and to the extent, of the termination or expiration of the applicable option prior to the exercise thereof. From and after the Initial Effective Date, the Company issued no further options under the Prior Plans, and such Prior Plans terminated, except to the extent they apply to options outstanding under the Prior Plans as of the Initial Effective Date.

The Initial Shares were subject to share counting rules pursuant to which (i) shares subject to awards of options and SARs counted against the Amended 2006 Plan share limit as one share for every one share subject to such award and (ii) shares subject to full-value awards counted against the Amended 2006 Plan share limit as three shares for every one share subject to such award. The Additional Shares, and any of the Initial Shares that are not subject to outstanding awards as of the Amended Effective Date, are counted against the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan share limit as one share for every one share subject to any type of award granted on or after the Amended Effective Date. To the extent that a share that was subject to an award that counted as one share is returned to the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan, each applicable share reserve under the plan will be credited with one share; and to the extent that a share that was subject to an award that counted as three shares is returned to the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan, each applicable share reserve under the plan will be credited with three shares.

All shares of common stock covered by SARs will be counted against the number of shares available for grant of awards and against the sublimits under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan. However, SARs that may be settled only in cash will not be so counted, and if we grant an SAR in tandem with an option for the same number of shares of our common stock and provide that only one such award may be exercised, which we refer to as a tandem SAR, only the shares covered by the option, and not the shares covered by the tandem SAR, will be so counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the other’s exercise will not restore shares to the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan.

Shares covered by awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or cancelled without having been fully exercised or are forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares subject to such award being repurchased by us at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or that result in any shares not being issued (including as a result of an SAR that was settleable either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash) will again be available for the grant of awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations under the Code). In the case of the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan will be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle the SAR upon exercise, and the shares covered by a tandem SAR will not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of the tandem SAR.

Shares of common stock that are delivered (by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to us by a participant to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of an award or to satisfy the statutory minimum tax withholding obligations with respect to options and SARs (including shares retained from the award creating the tax obligation) will not be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of common stock delivered (by actual delivery, attestation or net exercise) to the Company by a participant to satisfy the statutory minimum tax withholding obligations with respect to full-value awards (including shares retained from the award creating the tax obligation) will be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of awards); and shares of common stock that are repurchased by us on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an award will not increase the number of shares available for the future grant of awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan.

The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which options and SARs may be granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan to any participant is 2,000,000 per fiscal year, and the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which restricted stock awards, RSUs and other stock unit awards may be granted is 1,000,000 per fiscal year, subject to adjustment in the event of changes in capitalization and other similar events. For these purposes, the combination of an option in tandem with an SAR will be treated as a single award. The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted to a director who is not an employee of the Company at the time of grant is 50,000 per fiscal year.

Types of Awards

The Amended and Restated 2006 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance awards and other stock unit awards, which we refer to collectively as Awards.

Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options. Optionees receive the right to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a specified option price and subject to such other terms and conditions as are specified in connection with the option grant. Options may not be granted at an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options may not be granted for a term in excess of ten years. The Amended and Restated 2006 Plan permits the following forms of payment of the exercise price of options: (i) payment by cash, by check or in connection with a “cashless exercise” through a broker, (ii) subject to certain conditions and to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, by delivery of shares of common stock to us which shares, if acquired directly from us, have been held for six months or such greater period of time as our Board of Directors may specify, (iii) to the extent provided in an applicable nonstatutory stock option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise,” (iv) to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, by any other lawful means, or (v) by any combination of these forms of payment.

Stock Appreciation Rights. An SAR is an award entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount of our common stock determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of our common stock. The exercise or grant price will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the SAR is granted. SARs may not be granted with a term in excess of 10 years. SARs may be granted independently or in tandem with an option. When SARs are expressly granted in tandem with options, (i) the SAR will be exercisable only at such time or times, and to the extent, that the related option is exercisable (except to the extent designated by our Board of Directors in connection with a Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, each as defined below), (ii) the SAR will terminate and no longer be exercisable upon termination or exercise of the related option (except to the extent designated by our Board of Directors in connection with a Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event), except that an SAR granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by an option will not be reduced until the number of shares as to which the related option has been exercised or has terminated exceeds the number of shares not

covered by the SAR, (iii) the option will terminate and no longer be exercisable upon exercise of the related SAR, and (iv) the SAR will be transferable only with the related option.

Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards entitle recipients to acquire shares of our common stock, subject to our right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) in the event that the conditions specified in the applicable award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period established for such award. Participants holding shares of restricted stock will be entitled to all dividends (whether paid in cash, stock or property) paid with respect to such shares only if and when such shares become free from the restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to such shares.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. RSUs entitle the recipient to receive shares of our common stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of such shares, to be delivered at the time such award vests pursuant to the terms and conditions established by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, provide that settlement of an RSU will be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the participant. A participant has no voting rights with respect to any RSU. Our Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide that a grant of RSUs may provide the participant with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of our common stock; however, any such dividend equivalents will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the RSUs with respect to which such dividend equivalents are awarded.

Other Stock Unit Awards. Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan, our Board of Directors has the right to grant other awards of shares of our common stock, and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of our common stock or other property, which we refer to as other stock unit awards, including, without limitation, awards entitling recipients to receive shares of our common stock to be delivered in the future. Other stock unit awards will also be available as a form of payment in settlement of other Awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a participant is otherwise entitled. Other stock unit awards may be paid in shares of our common stock or in cash, as our Board of Directors may determine. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, a grant of an other stock unit award will not entitle participants with the right to receive dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents, if any, may be settled in cash and/or shares of common stock and must be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the other stock unit award with respect to which paid.

Performance Awards. Restricted stock awards, RSUs and other stock unit awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan may be made subject to the achievement of performance goals. We refer to such awards as performance awards. Performance awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be made only by a committee (or subcommittee) of our Board of Directors comprised solely of two or more directors eligible to serve on a committee making awards qualifying as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). For any award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation,” the committee will specify that the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout will be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures established by the committee, which will be based on the relative or absolute attainment of one or any combination of the following: net income; earnings before or after discontinued operations, interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization; operating profit before or after discontinued operations and/or taxes; sales; sales growth; earnings growth; cash flow, free cash flow or cash position; gross margins or margin percentages; stock price; market share; return on sales, assets, equity or investment; improvement of financial ratings; achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives; total shareholder return; product release schedules; product shipment targets; customer satisfaction; product design-in and/or design-win revenue opportunities; or new product innovation.

Such performance measures may vary by participant and may be different for different awards, may be particular to a participant or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the

participant works and may cover such period as may be specified by the committee, and will be set by the committee within the time period prescribed by, and will otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m) of the Code. Our committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the cash or number of shares payable pursuant to such a performance award, and the committee may not waive the achievement of applicable performance measures except in the case of death or disability of the participant.

Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, a grant of a performance award will not entitle participants with the right to receive dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents, if any, may be settled in cash and/or shares of common stock and must be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the performance award with respect to which paid.

Transferability of Awards

Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an incentive stock option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. During the life of the participant, awards are exercisable only by the participant; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may permit or provide in an award for the gratuitous transfer of the award by the participant to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or family partnership established solely for the benefit of the participant and/or an immediate family member thereof if, with respect to such proposed transferee, we would be eligible to use a Form S-8 for the registration of the sale of the common stock subject to such award under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; provided, further, that we are not required to recognize any such transfer until such time as the participant and such permitted transferee have, as a condition to such transfer, delivered to us a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to us confirming that such transferee will be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the award.

Eligibility to Receive Awards

All of our employees, officers, and directors, as well as our consultants and advisors, are eligible to receive Awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan. However, incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees, employees of our present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, and employees of any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Code.

Plan Benefits

As of November 2, 2013, approximately 4,000 persons were eligible to receive awards under our Amended and Restated 2006 Plan, including our executive officers and non-employee directors. The granting of awards under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan is discretionary, and we cannot now determine the number or type of awards to be granted in the future to any particular person or group.

The following table sets forth, as of November 2, 2013, the stock options and RSUs granted under the 2006 Plan since its adoption to our executive officers, directors and employees indicated below:


Name	Stock Option Awards		RSU Awards
Jerald G. Fishman, Former Chief Executive Officer		250,000		360,000
Vincent T. Roche, President and Chief Executive Officer		640,430
