SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 5 on Schedule 13D amends the beneficial ownership statement
initially filed on February 12, 1998 on Schedule 13G, as amended by Amendment
No. 1 on Schedule 13D filed on June 29, 1998, Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D
filed on September 18, 1998, Amendment No. 3 on Schedule 13D filed on February
3, 1999 and Amendment No. 4 on Schedule 13D filed on April 29, 1999
(collectively, the "Schedule 13D"), pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by TRW Inc., an Ohio corporation
("TRW"). This statement is being filed to reflect TRW's sale, in the aggregate,
of 470,500 shares of common stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of RF Micro
Devices, Inc. ("RFMD"), executed in multiple trades between April 29, 1999 and
May 28, 1999, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except
as modified herein, there have been no other changes in the information
previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following paragraph at the
conclusion of the second paragraph thereof:
"In conjunction with its recently announced debt reduction efforts, TRW
ultimately intends to reduce its percentage of ownership to approximately 20
percent of the outstanding shares, selling up to 2,000,000 additional shares of
Common Stock in RFMD over the course of the next six to twelve months, as the
market permits. TRW's sale of the Common Stock is solely in furtherance of its
own debt reduction efforts and is not the result of any changes or contemplated
changes in its continuing strategic alliance with RFMD."
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are amended in their
entirety by the following:
(a) TRW beneficially owns 9,977,474 shares of Common Stock. The number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by TRW represents 25.5 percent of
the 39,192,134 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 28, 1999, as
adjusted for a stock split effected on March 31, 1999. The Directors and
executive officers of TRW disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares.
(b) TRW has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 9,977,474
shares.
Paragraph (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended (i) by changing the
phrase "of less than one percent" in the last line of each of the first four
paragraphs of paragraph (c) to "of less than one-tenth of one percent" and (ii)
by adding the following immediately prior to the last paragraph of paragraph
(c):
