Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements:

Certain statements made herein, including, for example, information regarding the proposed transaction between Cavium and QLogic, the expected timetable for completing the transaction, and the potential benefits of the transaction, are "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements reflect the current analysis of existing information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to known and unknown risks, our actual results may differ materially from our expectations or projections.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that could be instituted against QLogic or its directors or Cavium related to the merger agreement; the possibility that various conditions to the consummation of the Cavium exchange offer and merger may not be satisfied or waived, including the receipt of all regulatory clearances related to the merger; the failure of Cavium to obtain the necessary financing pursuant to the arrangements set forth in the debt commitment letter delivered pursuant to the merger agreement or otherwise; uncertainty as to how many shares of QLogic common stock will be tendered into the Cavium exchange offer; the risk that the Cavium exchange offer and merger will not close within the anticipated time periods; risks related to the ultimate outcome and results of integrating the operations of Cavium and QLogic, the ultimate outcome of Cavium's operating strategy applied to QLogic and the ultimate ability to realize synergies; the effects of the business combination on Cavium and QLogic, including the increased level of indebtedness resulting from the transaction, and the combined company's future financial condition, operating results, strategy and plans; risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations, and potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the merger; the risk of downturns in the semiconductor and networking industries; the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general; and other risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as those risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in our other reports and other public filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, those detailed in QLogic's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 3, 2016, and Cavium's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Cavium's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
