shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Fairchild (the Shares), at a price of $20.00 per Share (the Offer Price), net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding of taxes, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 4, 2015 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the Offer to Purchase), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented

(a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) by ON Semiconductor on December 4, 2015.
The Offer and related withdrawal rights expired one minute following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 16, 2016. Computershare
Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the Depositary), has advised ON Semiconductor and Merger Sub that a total of 87,979,761 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to
the Offer as of the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer), representing approximately 76.6% of the outstanding Shares. In addition, notices of guaranteed delivery have been delivered for 7,327,977 Shares, representing approximately 6.4% of the
outstanding Shares. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, on September 19, 2016, Merger Sub accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, and payment of the Offer Price for such
Shares will be made by the depositary.

Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), Merger Sub merged with and into Fairchild, with Fairchild continuing as the surviving corporation (the Merger). Upon

Shares held by Fairchild as treasury stock (or by any wholly owned subsidiary of Fairchild) or held by Parent or Purchaser (or by any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent) or Shares owned by any stockholders who have properly exercised their appraisal
rights under Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger) was canceled and automatically converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the Merger
Consideration).
In addition, each option to purchase Shares that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective
Time, whether vested or unvested, became fully vested (to the extent unvested) and was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the excess, if any, of the Merger
Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such stock option by (b) the total number of Shares subject to such stock option, less any applicable withholding taxes. Each restricted stock unit award in respect of Shares that was outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time became fully vested (to the extent unvested) and was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Merger Consideration by
(ii) the total number of Shares subject to such restricted stock unit award, less any applicable withholding taxes. Each performance unit award in respect of Shares that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became fully vested (to
the extent unvested) and was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Merger Consideration by (y) the total number of shares subject to such performance unit
award, less any applicable withholding taxes. Each deferred stock unit award in respect of Shares that was outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time became fully vested (to the extent unvested) and was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x)
