PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
MARCH 12, 1996
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Analog Devices, Inc. (the "Company") for
use at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on March 12, 1996 and
at any adjournment of that meeting (the "Meeting"). All proxies will be voted in
accordance with the instructions contained therein, and if no choice is
specified, the proxies will be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in the
Notice of Meeting. Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder at any time before
it is exercised by giving written notice to that effect to the Clerk of the
Company.
On January 26, 1996, the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting, there were outstanding and
entitled to vote an aggregate of shares of Common Stock of the Company,
$.16 2/3 par value per share ("Common Stock"). Stockholders are entitled to one
vote per share.
The Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 28, 1995 is
being mailed to stockholders concurrently with this Notice and Proxy Statement
on or about February , 1996.
All share and per share price information set forth in this Proxy Statement
has been restated to give effect to the three-for-two stock split effected as a
50% Common Stock dividend declared on November 28, 1995 and distributed by the
Company on January 3, 1996 to stockholders of record December 12, 1995.
VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTES REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the votes cast at the
Meeting is required for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for
the approval of the proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of
Organization. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock present or represented and voting at the Meeting is required for
the approval of the other matters to be voted upon.
<PAGE> 5
Shares of Common Stock represented by executed proxies received by the
Company will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Meeting,
regardless of how or whether such shares are voted on any specific proposal.
Shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter, and shares held
in "street name" by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they
do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular
matter, will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter, and, except as
described below, will also not be counted as votes cast or shares voting on such
matter. To qualify under Rule 16b-3, which provides an exemption from Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for
certain employee benefit plans, the approval of the amendments to the 1988 Stock
Option Plan and 1991 Restricted Stock Plan must be approved by the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or
represented and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Therefore, for the purpose of
qualifying such plans under Rule 16b-3 only, an abstention will be treated the
same as a vote against such proposals.

SEVERANCE AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
The Company has Employee Retention Agreements (the "Agreements") with each
of its five current executive officers and with 34 additional key managers. The
Agreements are automatically extended on an annual basis unless the Company
provides at least three months' notice that the Agreements will not be extended.
The Agreements provide for severance benefits if either (i) the employment of
the employee is terminated by the Company (other than for cause or by reason of
his death or disability) or by the employee for Good Reason (as defined in the
Agreements) within 24 months after a Change in Control (as defined in the
Agreements) which is approved by the Board of Directors; or (ii) the employment
of the employee terminates or is terminated for any reason (other than for cause
or by reason of his death or disability) within 12 months after a Change in
Control which is not approved by the Board of Directors. Each Agreement provides
that, in the event of a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the
Agreements), the employee shall not voluntarily resign as an employee, subject
to certain conditions, for at least six months after the occurrence of such
Potential Change in Control.
The Agreements provide for the following severance benefits: (i) a lump-sum
payment equal to 200% of the sum of the employee's annual base salary plus the
aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to him in respect of the four fiscal
quarters preceding his termination (299% in the case of 13 of the 39 employees
who are parties to such agreements, including Messrs. Stata, Fishman, McAloon
and McDonough); and (ii) the continuation of life, disability, dental, accident
and group health insurance benefits for a period of 24 months. In addition, to
the extent that payments to the employee pursuant to his Agreement (together
with any other payments or benefits, such as the accelerated vesting of stock
options or restricted stock awards, received by the employee in connection with
a Change in Control) would result in the triggering of the provisions of
Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), the Agreement provides for the payment of an additional amount such
that the employee receives, net of excise taxes, the amount he would have been
entitled to receive in the absence of the excise tax provided in Section 4999 of
the Code.
The Company's Employee Change in Control Severance Policy and Senior
Management Change in Control Severance Policy provide each employee of the
Company (other than those who are party to the Agreements) with a lump-sum
severance payment, based on length of service with the Company, in the event of
the termination of his or her employment under certain circumstances within 18
months after a Change in Control (as defined in such policies). Such severance
payments range from a minimum of two weeks of annual base salary (for an hourly
employee with less than five years of
-13-
<PAGE> 17
service) to a maximum of 104 weeks of base salary plus an amount equal to the
aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to the employee in respect of the four
fiscal quarters preceding termination (for a senior management employee with at
least 21 years of service).
On September 14, 1994, the Company amended the stock option grants and
restricted stock awards previously made to Mr. Fishman, the Company's President,
to provide that if the Company terminates Mr. Fishman's employment prior to
September 15, 1999 for any reason other than cause, death or disability, all
then unexercisable options and/or unvested restricted shares would become fully
exercisable and vested.
In addition to the foregoing agreements and policies, the Company's stock
option and restricted stock plans provide for immediate vesting of all
outstanding options and awards upon any Change in Control (as defined in such
plans) of the Company.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain
and reward executives who are responsible for leading the Company in achieving
its business objectives. The Compensation Committee makes decisions each year
regarding executive compensation, including annual base salaries, bonus awards
and stock option grants and restricted stock awards. All executive officers are
reviewed by the full Board of Directors. This report is submitted by the
Compensation Committee and addresses the Compensation policies for fiscal 1995
as they affected Mr. Stata, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and other executive officers of the Company.
Compensation Philosophy
The Company's executive compensation philosophy is based on the belief that
competitive compensation is essential to attract, motivate and retain highly
qualified and industrious employees. The Company's policy is to provide total
compensation that is competitive for comparable work and comparable corporate
performance. The compensation program includes both motivational and
retention-related compensation components. Bonuses are included to encourage
effective performance relative to current plans and objectives. Stock options
are included to help retain productive people and to more closely align their
interests with those of stockholders.
In executing its compensation policy, the Company seeks to relate
compensation with the Company's financial performance and business objectives,
reward high levels of individual performance and tie a significant portion of
total executive compensation to
-14-
<PAGE> 18
both the annual and long term performance of the Company. While compensation
survey data are useful guides for comparative purposes, the Company believes
that a successful compensation program also requires the application of judgment
and subjective determinations of individual performance, and to that extent the
Compensation Committee applies judgment in reconciling the program's objectives
with the realities of retaining valued employees.
Executive Compensation Program
Annual compensation for the Company's executives consists of three
principal elements -- base salary, cash bonus and stock options and restricted
stock awards.
- - CASH COMPENSATION
Annual cash compensation consists of two elements -- base salary and
bonus. In setting the annual cash compensation for Company executives,
the Compensation Committee reviews compensation for comparable
positions in a group of approximately 20 companies selected by the
Committee for comparison purposes. Most of these companies are engaged
in the manufacture and sale of semiconductor devices, instruments and
computer software. The Company also regularly compares its pay
practices with other leading companies through reviews of survey and
proxy data.
Increases in annual base salary are based on a review and evaluation
of the performance of the operation or activity for which the
executive has responsibility, the impact of that operation or activity
on the Company and the skills and experience required for the job,
coupled with a comparison of these elements with similar elements for
other executives both within and outside the Company.
The cash bonus is tied directly to financial performance targets
approved by the Board of Directors. The ratio of bonus ("variable"
pay) to base salary ("fixed" pay) varies significantly across the
levels in the organization to reflect the ability of the individual to
impact the performance of the Company and to absorb the risk of
variable pay. The cash bonus is dependent solely on corporate
performance.
All of the Company's employees, including its executive officers,
participated in the Company's bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan") in fiscal
1995, except those employees on commission plans or in some non-U.S.
locations. The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to recognize and reward
the contribution of all employees in achieving the Company's goals and
objectives. In fiscal 1995 the Bonus Plan provided for the
-15-
<PAGE> 19
payment of a semi-annual cash bonus based on the Company's attainment
of specified Operating Profit Before Taxes ("OPBT") levels. No bonus
is payable if the Company's performance falls below a predetermined
OPBT threshold. To the extent OPBT exceeds this threshold, the bonus
payments are increased. Each employee, including executives, is
assigned a Bonus Target, calculated as a percentage of such employee's
base earnings, determined by comparing competitive data and position.
Depending on OPBT levels achieved, the cash bonus is paid as a
multiple ("Bonus Factor") of the Bonus Target, ranging from zero to a
maximum of two.
- - EQUITY OWNERSHIP
Total compensation at the executive level also includes long-term
incentives afforded by stock options and restricted stock awards. The
purpose of the Company's stock ownership program is to (i) reinforce
the mutuality of long term interests between employees and the
stockholders; and (ii) to assist in the attraction and retention of
critically important key executives, managers and individual
contributors, mostly engineers, who are essential to the Company's
success.
The design of the Company's stock programs includes long vesting
periods to optimize the retention value of these options and to orient
the Company's managers to longer term success. Generally, stock
options vest one-third after three years from date of grant,
two-thirds after four years and 100% after five years. Restricted
stock awards vest 100% after five years. Generally, if employees leave
the Company before these vesting periods, they forfeit the unvested
portions of these awards. While the Company believes that these longer
vesting periods are in the best interest of stockholders, they tend to
increase the number of options outstanding compared to companies with
shorter vesting schedules.
The size of stock option awards is generally intended to reflect the
significance of the executive's current and anticipated contributions
to the Company. The exercise price of options granted by the Company
is set at 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of
grant. Prior to determining the December 1995 option grants to the
Company's executives (as described below), the Compensation Committee
reviewed survey information of the stock option programs of
competitors and other companies with comparable capitalizations. The
value realizable from exercisable options is dependent upon the extent
to which the Company's performance is reflected in the price of the
Company's Common Stock at any particular point in time. However, the
decision as to whether such value will be realized through the
-16-
<PAGE> 20
exercise of an option in any particular year is primarily determined
by each individual within the limits of the vesting schedule, and not
by the Compensation Committee.
The Company's 1991 Restricted Stock Plan provides for the award of
restricted stock for a nominal purchase price. Shares purchased under
the plan are subject, for a period of five years (the "Restricted
Period"), to certain restrictions upon transfer and provisions
relating to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. If
the employment of a recipient of an award is terminated prior to the
end of the Restricted Period for any reason other than death or
disability, all shares of Common Stock covered by the award shall be
offered promptly for resale by the recipient to the Company at the
original purchase price per share. Since the restricted shares are
issued at nominal consideration, the entire value of the shares will
constitute additional compensation to the individual at the time of
vesting.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal 1995 Compensation
Mr. Stata, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is
eligible to participate in the same executive compensation program available to
the Company's other senior executives. The Compensation Committee has set Mr.
Stata's total annual compensation, including compensation derived from the
Company's bonus program and stock option program, at a level it believes to be
competitive with other companies in the industry.
During fiscal 1995, Mr. Stata's annual base salary was increased
$27,300 from $546,000 to $573,300. He was awarded a fiscal 1995 bonus of
$566,830 which represented 168% of his Bonus Target (based on 60% of his base
salary received during fiscal 1995) and reflected the Company's attainment of
OPBT of 16.8% for the entire fiscal year.
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax
deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million paid to its chief
executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive officers.
Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limit
if certain requirements are met. The Company has limited the number of shares
subject to stock options which may be granted to Company employees in a manner
that complies with the performance-based requirements of Section 162(m). While
the Committee does not currently intend to qualify the Bonus Plan as a
performance-based plan, it will continue to monitor the impact of Section 162(m)
on the Company.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION
On December 6, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously
voted to recommend to the stockholders that the Company's Restated Articles of
Organization be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock from 300,000,000 to 450,000,000 shares. On November 28, 1995, the Board of
Directors also declared a three-for-two split of the issued shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The stock split was effected as a 50% Common Stock
dividend paid by the Company on January 3, 1996 to stockholders of record
December 12, 1995.
The authorized Common Stock of the Company currently consists of
300,000,000 shares, $.16 2/3 par value per share, of which 114,677,500 shares
were outstanding as of December 31, 1995, approximately 23,565,314 shares were
reserved (assuming the approval of the amendments to the Company's 1988 Stock
Option Plan and 1991 Restricted Stock Plan by the stockholders at the Meeting)
for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans, stock purchase plans
and other employee benefit plans; 2,250,000 shares were reserved for issuance
pursuant to an outstanding warrant agreement; 8,239,888 shares were reserved for
issuance upon conversion of the Company's 3 % Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2000; and 148,732,252 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of Rights
in connection with the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan. The Board of Directors
believes that the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock is
desirable to provide shares for issuance in connection with possible future
stock dividends, future financings, joint ventures, acquisitions or other
general corporate purposes. However, there is no existing plan, understanding or
agreement for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock with the exception of
the shares of Common Stock available for issuance described above. If the
amendment is adopted by the stockholders, the Board of Directors will have
authority to issue shares of Common Stock without the necessity of further
stockholder action. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive rights with
respect to any shares which may be issued in the future.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes the adoption of this amendment is in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends a vote FOR the
adoption of this proposed amendment.
-19-
<PAGE> 23
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1988 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Board of Directors believes that the continued growth and success of
the Company depends, in large part, upon its ability to attract, retain and
motivate key employees. Accordingly, on December 6, 1995, the Board of Directors
adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company's 1988
Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Option Plan") to increase the number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under the plan from 15,525,000 shares to
22,425,000 shares. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that the Company
may continue to attract and retain key employees who are expected to contribute
to the Company's growth and success. As of October 28, 1995, there were
3,495,095 shares of Common Stock reserved for future option grants under the
1988 Option Plan. The following is a summary of some of the principal terms of
the 1988 Option Plan.
ELIGIBILITY, ADMINISTRATION AND GRANTS OF OPTIONS
All key employees of the Company, including officers and directors who are
key employees, are eligible to receive stock options under the 1988 Option Plan.
Both incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code
and nonstatutory stock options may be granted under the 1988 Option Plan. As of
December 31, 1995, approximately 750 of 2,400 eligible employees were
participating in the 1988 Option Plan.
The 1988 Option Plan is administered by the Company's Compensation
Committee which designates the optionees, exercise prices, dates of grant and
terms of exercise. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors,
incentive and nonstatutory options issuable under the 1988 Option Plan expire no
later than 10 years, and 10 years and 30 days, from the date of grant,
respectively.
No employee may be granted options to purchase more than 562,500 shares of
Common Stock under the 1988 Option Plan during any fiscal year. Options may not
be granted under the 1988 Option Plan at an exercise price that is less than the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or less than 110% of
the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to
optionees holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company). All other
options may be granted at an exercise price which may be less than, equal to or
greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
Options granted under the 1988 Option Plan may provide for the payment of the
exercise price by delivery of cash or a check to the order of the Company in an
amount equal to the exercise price of such options, or, to the extent provided
in the applicable option agreement, by delivery to the Company of shares of
Common Stock of the Company
-20-
<PAGE> 24
having a fair market value equal in amount to the exercise price of the options
being exercised, or by any combination of such methods of payment.
While the Company may grant options which become exercisable at different
times or within different periods, the Company has generally granted options
which become exercisable, subject to the optionee's continued service as an
employee of the Company, on a cumulative basis in three equal annual
installments, on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant.
The 1988 Option Plan provides that all options issued thereunder shall be
immediately exercisable in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 1988
Option Plan).
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE 1988 OPTION PLAN
The Board of Directors may modify or amend the 1988 Option Plan in any
respect without stockholder approval, except, the Board of Directors may not,
without stockholder approval, (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to
participants under the plan; (b) materially increase the number of shares which
may be issued under the plan; or (c) materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation under the plan.
The plan will terminate upon the earlier of (a) December 15, 1997; or (b)
the date on which all shares available for issuance under the plan shall have
been issued pursuant to the exercise or cancellation of options granted under
the plan. If the date of termination is determined under clause (a) above,
options outstanding on such date shall continue to have force and effect in
accordance with the provisions of the instruments evidencing such options. The
termination or any modification or amendment of the plan may not, without the
consent of an optionee, affect the optionee's rights under an option previously
granted.
WITHHOLDING TAXES
The Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due
to an optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to
be withheld with respect to any shares issued upon exercise of options under the
1988 Option Plan. Subject to the prior approval of the Company, which may be
withheld by the Company in its sole discretion in any particular case, the
optionee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (a) by
causing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to the exercise of an option; or (b) by delivering to the Company
shares of Common Stock already owned by the optionee.
-21-
<PAGE> 25
OUTSTANDING OPTIONS
As of October 28, 1995, there were outstanding under the Company's 1988
Stock Option Plan options to purchase 10,085,335 shares of Common Stock at a
weighted average exercise price of $8.14 per share with expiration dates ranging
from October 10, 1996 to October 9, 2005.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of the federal income tax treatment of incentive
stock options and nonstatutory stock options. The tax consequences recognized by
an optionee may vary; therefore, an optionee should consult his or her tax
advisor for advice concerning any specific transaction.
Incentive Stock Options.
No taxable income will be recognized by an optionee upon the grant or
exercise of an incentive stock option granted under the 1988 Option Plan. The
difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on
the date of exercise will be included in alternative minimum taxable income for
purposes of the alternative minimum tax. The alternative minimum tax is imposed
upon an individual's alternative minimum taxable income at rates of 26% to 28%,
but only to the extent that such tax exceeds the taxpayer's regular income tax
liability for the taxable year.
Generally, if an optionee holds shares acquired upon the exercise of
incentive stock options until the later of (a) two years from the date of grant
of the option; and (b) one year from the date of transfer of the purchased
shares to the optionee (the "Statutory Holding Period"), any gain recognized by
the optionee on a sale of such shares will be treated as capital gain. The gain
recognized upon the sale of the stock is the difference between the option price
and the sale price of the stock. The net federal income tax effect on the holder
of incentive stock options is to defer, until the stock is sold, taxation of any
increase in the stock's value from the time of grant to the time of exercise,
and to treat such increase as capital gain.
If the optionee sells the shares prior to the expiration of the Statutory
Holding Period, the optionee will realize taxable income at ordinary income tax
rates in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the fair market value of the
shares on the date of exercise less the option price; or (b) the amount realized
on the disposition of the stock less the option price, and the Company will
receive a corresponding business expense deduction. However, special rules may
apply to options held by persons required to file reports under Section 16 of
the Exchange Act. The amount by which the proceeds of the sale exceeds the fair
market value of
-22-
<PAGE> 26
the shares on the date of exercise will be treated as long-term capital gain if
the shares are held for more than one year prior to the sale and as short-term
capital gain if the shares are held for a shorter period. If an optionee sells
the shares acquired upon exercise of an option at a price less than the option
price, he or she will recognize a capital loss equal to the difference between
the sale price and the option price. The loss will be long-term capital loss if
the shares are held for more than one year prior to the sale and a short-term
capital loss if the shares are held for a shorter period.
Nonstatutory Stock Options.
No taxable income is recognized by the optionee upon the grant of a
nonstatutory option. The optionee must recognize as ordinary income in the year
in which the option is exercised the amount by which the fair market value of
the purchased shares on the date of exercise exceeds the option price. However,
special rules may apply to options held by persons required to file reports
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Company will be entitled to a business
expense deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the
optionee, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. Any additional gain or any loss
recognized upon the subsequent disposition of the purchased shares will be a
capital gain or loss and will be a long-term gain or loss if the shares are held
for more than one year.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes that the ratification and approval of the
amendment to the 1988 Option Plan is in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders and recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1991 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
The Board of Directors believes that the continued growth and success of
the Company depends, in large part, upon its ability to attract, retain and
motivate key employees. Accordingly, on December 6, 1995, the Board of Directors
adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company's 1991
Restricted Stock Plan (the "1991 Stock Plan") to increase the number of shares
available for issuance under the plan from 1,575,000 shares to 2,025,000 shares.
Under the 1991 Stock Plan, the Company is authorized to award to eligible
employees restricted shares of Common Stock for nominal consideration. The
purpose of the 1991 Stock Plan is to ensure that the Company may continue to
attract and retain key employees who are expected to contribute to the Company's
growth and success. As of October 28, 1995, there were 444,000 shares of Common

awards under the 1991 Stock Plan. The following is a summary of certain
provisions of the 1991 Stock Plan.
ELIGIBILITY, ADMINISTRATION AND GRANTS OF AWARDS
Awards under the 1991 Stock Plan may be made only to persons who are
determined by the Board of Directors to be key employees of the Company. The
1991 Stock Plan is administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. Subject
to the conditions set forth in the 1991 Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee
may establish rules and regulations relating to the plan, select the recipients
of awards under the plan and determine the conditions of each award.
The price at which shares of Common Stock may be sold to participants under
the plan is determined by the Compensation Committee. The purchase price, if
any, in most cases is nominal (equal to the par value of $.16 /3 per share). The
purchase price may vary among participants.
Shares purchased under the 1991 Stock Plan are subject, usually for a
period of five years (the "Restricted Period"), to certain restrictions upon
transfer and provisions relating to forfeiture in the event of termination of
employment. If the employment of a recipient of an award is terminated prior to
the end of the Restricted Period for any reason other than death or disability,
all shares of Common Stock covered by the award must be offered promptly for
resale by the recipient to the Company at the original purchase price per share.
If the employment of a recipient is terminated by death or disability within the
Restricted Period, the awarded shares may be retained by the recipient or the
recipient's estate.
The Company may, in its discretion, waive its right to repurchase any
shares which become forfeitable under the 1991 Stock Plan. In addition, the
Company may impose upon the recipient of an award such other restrictions on the
shares awarded under the 1991 Stock Plan as the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee may deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Company. The 1991 Stock Plan provides for the immediate termination of
restrictions upon transfer and forfeiture provisions upon a Change in Control
(as defined in the 1991 Stock Plan).
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE 1991 STOCK PLAN
The 1991 Stock Plan may at any time be terminated, modified or amended by a
majority vote of the stockholders of the Company. The Board of Directors may at
any time modify or amend the 1991 Stock Plan in any respect, except that,
without stockholder approval, the Board of Directors may not make any amendment
which would (a) cause the 1991 Stock Plan to no longer comply with
-24-
<PAGE> 28
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor rule ("Rule
16b-3") or (b) require stockholder approval under any applicable listing
requirement. The termination or any modification or amendment of the plan may
not, without the consent of a recipient of an award, affect the recipient's
rights under an award previously made to the recipient. The Board of Directors
may amend or modify the terms and provisions of the 1991 Stock Plan and of any
outstanding award to the extent necessary to ensure the qualification of the
1991 Stock Plan under Rule 16b-3. The 1991 Stock Plan provides that unless it is
sooner terminated by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Company, no
awards may be granted after December 12, 2001.
WITHHOLDING TAXES
The Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind due to the
participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to any shares issued upon any award under the 1991 Stock
Plan. In addition, the plan provides that subject to the prior approval of the
Company, which may be withheld by the Company in its sole discretion, a plan
participant may elect to satisfy such withholding obligations, in whole or in
part (a) by directing the escrow agent under the plan to forward to the Company
a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the
participant pursuant to a grant of an award or (b) by delivery to the Company
shares of Common Stock already owned by the participant.
OUTSTANDING AWARDS
As of October 28, 1995, 1,131,000 shares were outstanding pursuant to
awards made under the 1991 Stock Plan.
FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
Neither the Company nor award recipients realize any federal tax
consequences at the time an award is granted under the 1991 Stock Plan unless
the recipient makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. If the
recipient makes an election under Section 83(b) within 30 days of the date of
grant, the recipient will recognize ordinary income, for the year in which the
award is received, in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market
value of the Common Stock at the time the award is made and the purchase price
for the Common Stock. If the Section 83(b) election is not made, the award
recipient must recognize ordinary income, at the time the forfeiture provisions
and restrictions on transfer lapse, in an amount equal to the difference between
the fair market value of the shares at that time and the original purchase
price. Upon a sale of the Common Stock acquired pursuant to an award, the
recipient must recognize a capital gain or loss on the difference between his or
her basis (the price paid plus any ordinary income previously recognized)
-25-
<PAGE> 29
and the sales price. If the recipient holds the stock for more than one year
after vesting (or one year after the date of grant if the recipient makes an
83(b) election), he or she will recognize a long-term capital gain or loss. The
Company will be entitled to deduct, as compensation expense, the same amount as
the employee shall include as ordinary income, subject to the limitations of
162(m) of the Code. Such deduction shall take place in the Company's tax year
which includes the last day (generally December 31) of the employee's tax year
in which the income is recorded for federal tax purposes.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
For accounting and reporting purposes, the Company charges to income as an
expense the difference between the price of Common Stock awarded under the 1991
Stock Plan and the fair market value of such Common Stock at the date of grant.
The charge to income is allocated over the period during which the Common Stock
is restricted and forfeitable. The tax benefit, if any, of the excess of the
fair market value of such Common Stock at the date of vesting over the fair
market value at the date of grant is credited directly to paid-in capital.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes that the ratification and approval of the
amendment to the 1991 Stock Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders and recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
1988 STOCK OPTION PLAN AND 1991 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN BENEFITS

Officers, individually and as a group, by non-executive directors as a group and

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has
selected the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as auditors of the
Company for the fiscal year ending November 2, 1996. Although stockholder
approval of the Board of Directors' selection of Ernst & Young LLP is not
required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give
stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If this proposal is not
approved at the Meeting, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection of
Ernst & Young LLP.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the
Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do
so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from
stockholders.

before the Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented to the
Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to

$10,000 for such services. In addition to solicitations by mail, CIC and the
Company's directors, officers and regular employees, without additional
remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph and personal
interviews. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward
proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in their names. The
Company will reimburse banks and brokers for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy materials.

ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
1988 STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose.
The purpose of this plan (the "Plan") is to secure for Analog Devices, Inc.
(the "Company") and its shareholders the benefits arising from capital stock
ownership by key employees of the Company and its parent and subsidiary
corporations who are expected to contribute to the Company' future growth and
success. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" shall
include the parent and all subsidiaries of the Company.
2. Type of Options and Administration.
(a) Types of Options. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
authorized by action of the Board of Directors of the Company (or a Committee
designated by the Board of Directors) and may be either incentive stock options
("Incentive Stock Options") meeting the requirements of Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or non-statutory options
which are not intended to meet the requirements of Section 422A.
(b) Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors
of the Company, whose construction and interpretation of the terms and
provisions of the Plan shall be final and conclusive. The Board of Directors may
in its sole discretion grant options to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock and issue shares upon exercise of such options as provided in the Plan.
The Board shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan,
to construe the respective option agreements and the Plan, to prescribe, amend
and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms
and provisions of the respective option agreements, which need not be identical,
and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board of Directors
necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Board of
Directors may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or in any option agreement in the manner and to the
extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the
sole and final judge of such expediency. No director shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith. The Board of Directors may, to the
full extent permitted by law, delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan
to a committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors, and if the
Committee is so appointed all references to the Board of Directors in the Plan
shall mean and relate to such Committee.
<PAGE> 36
(c) Grant of Options to Directors. With respect to the participation of any
director in the Plan, his selection as a participant and the number of option
shares to be allocated to such director shall be determined either (i) by the
Board of Directors, of which a majority, as well as a majority of the directors
acting in the matter, shall be "disinterested persons" (as hereinafter defined)
or (ii) by, or only in accordance with, the recommendations of a committee of
three or more persons having full authority to act in the matter, of which all
members shall be "disinterested persons". For the purposes of the Plan, a
director or member of such committee shall be deemed to be "disinterested" only
if such person qualifies as a "disinterested person" within the meaning of
paragraph (d)(3) of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any
successor rule), as such term is interpreted from time to time.
3. Eligibility.
Options shall be granted only to persons who are, at the time of grant, key
employees (including officers and directors who are employees) of the Company.
No person shall be granted any Incentive Stock Option under the Plan who, at the
time such option is granted, owns, directly or indirectly, Common Stock of the
Company possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company, unless the requirements of paragraph (b) of
Section 11 are satisfied. The attribution of stock ownership provisions of
Section 425(d) of the Code, and any successor provisions thereto, shall be
applied in determining the shares of stock owned by a person for purposes of
applying the foregoing percentage limitation. A person who has been granted an
option may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional option
or options if the Board of Directors shall so determine.
4. Stock Subject to Plan.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15 below, the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be issued and sold under the
Plan is 1,600,000 shares. Such shares may be authorized and unissued shares or
may be shares issued and thereafter acquired by the Company. If an option
granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having
been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject to such option shall
again be available for subsequent option grants under the Plan.
5. Forms of Option Agreements.
As a condition to the grant of an option under the Plan, each recipient of
an option shall execute an option agreement in such
-2-
<PAGE> 37
form not inconsistent with the Plan as may be specified by the Board of
Directors.
6. Purchase Price.
(a) General. The purchase price per share of stock deliverable upon the
exercise of an option shall be determined by the Board of Directors, provided,
however, that (i) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the exercise price
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of such stock, as
determined by the Board of Directors, at the time of grant of such option, or
less than 110% of such fair market value in the case of options described in
paragraph (b) of Section 11, and (ii) in the case of a non-statutory option, the
exercise price shall not be less than 50% of the fair market value of such
stock, as determined by the Board of Directors, at the time of grant of such
option.
(b) Payment of Purchase Price. Options granted under the Plan may provide
for the payment of the exercise price by delivery of cash or a check to the
order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price of such options,
or, to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement, by delivery to
the Company of shares of Common Stock of the Company having a fair market value
equal in amount to the exercise price of the options being exercised, or by any
combination of such methods of payment. The fair market value of any shares of
the Company's Common Stock which may be delivered upon exercise of an option
shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable option
agreement.
7. Option Period.
Each option and all rights thereunder shall expire on such date as the
Board of Directors shall determine, but, in the case of Incentive Stock Options,
in no event after the expiration of ten years from the day on which the option
is granted (or five years in the case of options described in paragraph (b) of
Section ii) and, in the case of non-statutory options, in no event after the
expiration of ten years plus 30 days from the day on which the option is
granted, and in either case, shall be subject to earlier termination as provided
in the Plan.
8. Exercise of Options.
Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable either in full or
in installments at such time or times and during such period as shall be set
forth in the agreement evidencing such option, subject to the provisions of
Section 7 above.
-3-
<PAGE> 38
9. Nontransferability of Options.
No option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by the
person to whom it is granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the
optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by such person.
10. Effect of Termination of Employment.
No option may be exercised unless, at the time of such exercise, the
optionee is, and has been continuously since the date of grant of his or her
option, employed by the Company, except that if and to the extent the option
agreement or instrument so provides:
(a) the option may be exercised within the period of three months after
the date the optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company (or
within such lesser period as may be specified in the applicable option
agreement);
(b) if the optionee dies while in the employ of the Company, the option
may be exercised in full by the person to whom it is transferred by
will or the laws of descent and distribution within the period of one
year after the date of death (or within such lesser period as may be
specified in the applicable option agreement); and
(c) if the optionee becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code or any successor provision thereto) while in the
employ of the Company, the option may be exercised in full within the
period of one year after the date the optionee ceases to be such an
employee because of such disability (or within such lesser period as
may be specified in the applicable option agreement);
provided, however, that in no event may any option be exercised after the
expiration date of the option. For all purposes of the Plan and any option
granted hereunder, "employment" shall be defined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1.421-7(h) of the Income Tax Regulations (or any successor
regulations).
11. Incentive Stock Options.
Options granted under the Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock
Options shall be specifically designated as Incentive Stock Options and shall be
subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
-4-
<PAGE> 39
(a) Dollar Limitation. Incentive Stock Options granted to any employee
under the Plan (and any other incentive stock option plans of the Company shall
not, in the aggregate, become exercisable for the first time in any one calendar
year for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value (determined
as of the respective date or dates of grant) of more than $100,000.
(b) 10% Shareholder. If any employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is
to be granted under the Plan is, at the time of the grant of such option, the
owner of stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company (after taking into account the attribution
of stock ownership rules of Section 425(d) of the Code), then the following
special provisions shall be applicable to the Incentive Stock Option granted to
such individual:
(i) The purchase price per share of the Common Stock subject to such
Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value
of one share of Common Stock at the time of grant; and
(ii) The option exercise period shall not exceed five years from the
date of grant.
12. Additional Provisions.
(a) Additional Option Provisions. The Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, include additional provisions in any option granted under the Plan,
including without limitation restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights,
commitments to pay cash bonuses, make or arrange for loans or transfer other
property to optionees upon exercise of options, or such other provisions as
shall be determined by the Board of Directors; provided that such additional
provisions shall not be inconsistent with any other term or condition of the
Plan.
(b) Acceleration. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate the date or dates on which all or any particular option or options
granted under the Plan may be exercised.
13. Compliance With Securities Laws.
Each option shall be subject to the requirement that if, at any time,
counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or
qualification of the shares subject to such option upon any securities exchange
or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in
connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, such option may
not be
-5-
<PAGE> 40
exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on
conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors. Nothing herein shall be deemed
to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or
qualification.
14. Rights as a Shareholder.
The holder of an option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect
to any shares covered by the option until the date of issue of a stock
certificate to him or her for such shares. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such
stock certificate is issued.
15. Adjustments.
(a) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities, or if
additional shares or new or different shares or other securities are distributed
with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, through merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to such shares of Common
Stock, or other securities, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment may be
made in (i) the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under
the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to then
outstanding options under the Plan, and (iii) the price for each share subject
to any then outstanding options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate
purchase price as to which such options remain exercisable.
(b) Adjustments under this Section 15 will be made by the Board of
Directors, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and
the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares
will be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.
16. Reorganization.
(a) In the event of a consolidation or merger in which the Company is not
the surviving corporation, or which results in the acquisition of substantially
all of the Company s outstanding Common Stock by a single person, entity or
group of persons or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the
event of a reorganization or liquidation of the Company, the Board of Directors
of the Company, or the board of directors
-6-
<PAGE> 41
of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall, as to
outstanding options, either (i) provided that such options shall be assumed, or
equivalent options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding
corporation (or an affiliate thereof), provided that any such options
substituted for Incentive Stock Options shall meet the requirements of Section
425(a) of the Code, (ii) upon written notice to the optionees, provide that all
unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, liquidation, sale or
transfer unless exercised by the optionee within a specified number of days
following the date of such notice, or (iii) in the event of a merger under the
terms of which holders of the Common Stock of the Company will receive upon
consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger
(the "Merger Price"), make or provide for a cash payment to the optionees equal
to the difference between (A) the Merger Price times the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to such outstanding options (to the extent exercisable) and
(B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding options in exchange for
the termination of such options. In any such case, the Board of Directors may,
in its discretion, advance the lapse of any waiting or installment periods and
exercise dates.
(b) The Company may grant options under the Plan in substitution for
options held by employees of another corporation who currently become employees
of the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, and the result of a merger or
consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company, or as a result of the acquisition by the Company, or one of its
subsidiaries, of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Company may
direct that substitute options be granted on such terms and conditions as the
Board of Directors considers appropriate in the circumstances.
17. No Special Employment Rights.
Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option shall confer upon any
optionee any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by
the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company at any time to
terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the
optionee. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or
government service, shall constitute termination of employment shall be
determined by the Board of Directors at the time of such absence.
-7-
<PAGE> 42
18. Other Employee Benefits.
The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by an employee as a
result of the exercise of an option or the sale of shares received upon such
exercise will not constitute compensation with respect to which any other
employee benefits of such employee are determined, including, without
limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, life insurance or
salary continuation plan, except as otherwise specifically determined by the
Board of Directors.
19. Amendment of the Plan.
The Board of Directors may at any time, and from time to time, modify or
amend the Plan in any respect, except that without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company the Board of Directors may not (a) materially
increase the benefits accruing to individuals who participate in the Plan, (b)
increase the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan (except
for adjustments specifically provided in the Plan), or (c) materially modify the
requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan. The termination or
any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of an
optionee, affect his or her rights under an option previously granted to him or
her. With the consent of the optionee affected, the Board of Directors may amend
outstanding option agreements in a manner not inconsistent with the Plan. The
Board of Directors shall have the right to amend or modify the terms and
provisions of the Plan and of any outstanding Incentive Stock Options granted
under the Plan to the extent necessary to qualify any or all such options for
such favorable federal income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation upon
exercise) as may be afforded incentive stock options under Section 422A of the
Code.
20. Withholding.
(a) The Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind
otherwise due to the optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares issued upon exercise
of Options under the Plan. Subject to the prior approval of the Company, which
may be withheld by the Company in its sole discretion in any particular case or
cases, the optionee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part,
(i) by causing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to the exercise of an Option or (ii) by delivering to the Company
shares of Common Stock already owned by the optionee. The shares so withheld or
delivered shall have a fair market value equal to the amount of such withholding
obligation. The fair market value of the shares used to satisfy such.
withholding obligation shall be determined
-8-
<PAGE> 43
by the Company as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined. An optionee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 20(a)
may only satisfy his or her withholding obligation with shares of Common Stock
which are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or
other similar requirements.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an optionee subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, no election to
use shares for the payment of withholding taxes shall be effective unless made
in compliance with any applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) or any successor
rule under such Act.
21. Cancellation and New Grant of Options.
The Board of Directors shall have the authority to effect, at any time and
from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the
cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in
substitution therefor new options under the Plan covering the same or different
numbers of shares of Common Stock having an option exercise price per share
which may be lower or higher than the exercise price per share of the canceled
options.
22. Effective Date and Duration of the Plan.
(a) Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the
Board of Directors, but no Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall
become exercisable unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the
Company's shareholders. If such shareholder approval is not obtained within
twelve months after the date of the Board's adoption of the Plan, any Incentive
Stock Options previously granted under the Plan shall terminate and no further
Incentive Stock Options shall be granted. Amendments to the Plan not requiring
shareholder approval shall become effective when adopted by the Board of
Directors; amendments requiring shareholder approval (as provided in Section 19)
shall become effective when adopted by the Board of Directors, but no Incentive
Stock Option issued after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable
(to the extent that such amendment to the Plan was required to enable the
Company to grant such incentive Stock Option to a particular optionee) unless
and until such amendment shall have been approved by the Company's shareholders.
If such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve months of the Board's
adoption of such amendment, any Incentive Stock Options granted on or after the
date of such amendment shall terminate to the extent that such amendment to the
Plan was required to enable the Company to grant such option to a particular
optionee. Subject to this limitation, options may be
-9-
<PAGE> 44
granted under the Plan at any time after the effective date and before the date
fixed for termination of the Plan.
(b) Termination. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 16,
the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the close of business on the
day next preceding the tenth anniversary of the date of its adoption by the
Board of Directors, or (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance
under the Plan shall have been issued pursuant to the exercise or cancellation
of options granted under the Plan. If the date of termination is determined
under (i) above, then options outstanding on such date shall continue to have
force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the instruments evidencing
such options.
Adopted by the Board of Directors on
December 16, 1987.

1. Purpose.
The purpose of the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan") is to secure for
Analog Devices, Inc. (the "Company") and its shareholders the benefits arising
from capital stock ownership by key employees of the Company who are expected to
contribute to the Company's future growth and success. Except where the context
otherwise requires, the term "Company" shall include any subsidiaries of the
Company. For purposes of the Plan, the term "subsidiary" means a corporation
fifty percent (50%) or more of whose voting securities are directly or
indirectly owned by the Company. A copy of the Plan is available from the
Treasurer's Department. For more information about the Plan, and its
administrators, please contact the Director of Corporate Communications, One
Technology Way, P.O. Box 9106, Norwood, MA 02062-9106, telephone (617) 329-4700.
2. Administration and Awards.
(a) Administration. Awards (as defined below) granted pursuant to the Plan
shall be authorized by action of the Board of Directors of the Company and shall
meet the requirements of Section 5 of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered
by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose construction and interpretation
of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall be final and conclusive. The Board
of Directors may in its sole discretion make awards for the purchase of shares
of the Company's common stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share ("Common Stock"),
pursuant to Section 5. The Board shall have authority, subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, to construe the respective Awards, and the Plan, to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to
determine the terms and provisions of the respective Awards, which need not be
identical, and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board of
Directors necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Board
of Directors may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent it
shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and
final judge of such expediency. No director or person acting pursuant to
authority delegated by the Board of Directors shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith. The Board of Directors may, to the full extent
permitted by or consistent with law or regulation (including without limitation
Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor rule ("Rule
16b- 3")), delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to a committee (the
"Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors, and if the Committee is so
appointed all references to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall mean and
relate to such Committee. In addition, to the full extent permitted by or
consistent with
-1-
<PAGE> 56
law or regulation (including without limitation Rule 16b-3), the Board of
Directors or such Committee may delegate authority to the President of the
Company to make Awards to employees of the Company who are not officers or
directors of the Company.
(b) Grant of Awards to Directors. The selection of a director as a
participant and the size of an Award to such director shall be determined by the
Board of Directors, of which a majority, as well as a majority of the directors
acting in the matter, shall be "disinterested persons" (as hereinafter defined).
For the purposes of the Plan, a director shall be deemed to be "disinterested"
only if such person qualifies as a "disinterested person" within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 as such term is interpreted from time to time.
3. Eligibility.
Awards under the Plan may be made only to persons who are determined by the
Board of Directors to be key employees of the Company. The term "employees"
shall include officers and directors who are full-time employees of the Company
as well as other full-time employees of the Company.
4. Stock Subject to Plan.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 below, the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be issued and sold under the
Plan is 700,000 shares. Such shares may be (i) authorized and unissued shares or
(ii) issued and thereafter acquired by the Company or (iii) subject to the
requirements of 16b-3, tendered back to the Company or withheld by the Company
for tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 12. Any shares of Common
Stock subject to an Award which are not purchased by the recipient of the Award,
or which are purchased by the recipient of the Award but later repurchased by
the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award or the Plan, shall again
be available for purposes of the Plan.
5. Awards.
(a) Restricted Stock Award. A restricted stock award ("Award") shall
consist of the sale and issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock, and
purchase by the recipient of such shares, subject to the terms, conditions and
restrictions described in the document evidencing the Award and in this Plan.
(b) Execution of Award. As a condition to an Award under the Plan, each
recipient of an Award shall execute an agreement in such form, which may differ
among recipients, as shall be specified by the Board of Directors at the time of
such Award.
(c) Price. The Board of Directors shall determine the price, if any, at
which shares of Common Stock shall be awarded to recipients under the Plan. The
purchase price, if any, may vary
-2-
<PAGE> 57
among the participants. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, issue
shares under the Plan without payment of any cash purchase price by the
recipients or issue shares at a purchase price below the then fair market value.
If a purchase price is required to be paid, it shall be paid in cash or by check
payable to the order of the Company at the time that the Award is accepted by
the recipient.
(d) Number of Shares. The Award shall specify the number of shares of
Common Stock granted thereunder.
(e) Ownership of Shares. Each recipient of an Award shall have, after
delivery to him or her or to an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") on his behalf
of a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
awarded, absolute ownership of such shares including the right to vote them and
to receive dividends on the shares, subject, however, to the risk of forfeiture
and the terms, conditions and restrictions described in the Plan and in the
instrument evidencing the grant of the Award.
(f) Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to such other terms, conditions
and restrictions upon Awards as shall be imposed by the Board of Directors, all
shares issued pursuant to an Award shall be subject to the following
restrictions:
(1) All shares of Common Stock subject to an Award (including any
shares issued pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section 5) shall be subject to
certain restrictions on disposition and obligations of resale to the Company as
provided in subparagraph (2) below for the period specified in the document
evidencing the Award, and shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of until such restrictions lapse. The period
during which such restrictions are applicable is referred to as the "Restricted
Period".
(2) In the event that a recipient's employment with the Company is
terminated within the Restricted Period, whether such termination is voluntary
or involuntary, with or without cause, for any reason other than death or total
disability (as determined by the Company) of the recipient, the Company shall
have the right and option for a period of ninety (90) days following such
termination of employment to elect to buy for cash that number of the shares of
Common Stock purchased under the Award as to which the restrictions on transfer
and the forfeiture provisions contained in the Award had not lapsed at the time
of such termination, at a price equal to the price per share originally paid by
the recipient. If such termination of employment occurs within the Restricted
Period, and there are less than ninety (90) days remaining in the Restricted
Period, the prohibition against any sale, assignment, transfer or other
disposition of the
-3-
<PAGE> 58
recipient's Common Stock, provided in subparagraph (f)(1) of this Section 5,
shall continue to apply until the expiration of the Company's 90-day option
period set forth in this subparagraph (f)(2).
(3) If such recipient's employment is terminated within the Restricted
Period by reason of his death or total disability, the Company's right to
repurchase shares issued to such recipient under the Plan shall cease and
terminate at the time of such death or disability; and such shares, from and
after the date of such death or disability, shall no longer be restricted by the
provisions of subparagraph (f)(1) of this Section 5 and may thereafter, subject
to compliance with law, be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of
during the balance of the Restricted Period.
(4) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) above, the Board of
Directors may, in its discretion, either at the time that an Award is made or at
any time thereafter, waive its right to repurchase shares of Common Stock upon
the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 5(f) or remove or
modify any part or all of the restrictions. In addition, the Board of Directors
may, in its discretion, impose upon the recipient of an Award at the time of
such Award, such other restrictions on any shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to such Award as the Board may deem advisable and in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders.
(g) Additional Shares. Any shares received by a recipient of an Award as a
stock dividend on, or as a result of stock splits, combinations, exchanges of
shares, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or otherwise with respect to,
shares of Common Stock received pursuant to such Award shall have the same
status and shall bear the same restrictions, all on a proportionate basis, as
the shares initially purchased pursuant to such Award.
(h) Transfers in Breach of Award; Repurchased Shares. If any transfer of
shares purchased pursuant to an Award is made or attempted contrary to the terms
of the Plan and of such Award, the Board of Directors shall have the right to
purchase those shares for the account of the Company from the owner thereof or
his transferee at any time before or after the transfer at the price paid for
such shares by the person to whom they were awarded under the Plan. In addition
to any other legal or equitable remedies which it may have, the Company may
enforce its rights by specific performance to the extent permitted by law. The
Company may refuse for any purpose to recognize as a shareholder of the Company
any transferee who receives any shares contrary to the provisions of the Plan
and the applicable Award, and the Company may retain and/or recover all
dividends on such shares which were paid or payable subsequent to the date on
which the prohibited transfer was made or attempted. Any shares which the Board
of Directors elects to repurchase under the Plan for the account of
-4-
<PAGE> 59
the Company shall be tendered to the Company by the delivery of certificates
therefor, duly endorsed in blank, at the Company's principal office on the date
and at the time specified by the Board of Directors. Payment for repurchased
shares shall be made by the Company at the time of delivery of the
certificate(s) representing the repurchased shares.
(i) Resale Restrictions. Certain officers of the Company, who may be deemed
to be "affiliates", may resell shares of the Company's Common Stock purchased
under the Plan only subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Securities
Act of 1933 and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder. In addition, in order to obtain
the benefits of Rule 16b-3, certain officers of the Company, who may be deemed
to be "insiders" under Rule 16b-3 may not sell any shares of the Company's
Common Stock for at least six months after the date an award is granted. Any
officer purchasing shares under the Plan should consult with legal counsel prior
to doing so.
(j) Additional Award Provisions. The Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, include additional provisions in any Award granted under the Plan.
6. General Restrictions.
(a) Investment Representations. The Company may require any person to whom
an Award is made, as a condition of purchasing the shares subject to such Award
or exercising such option, to give written assurances in substance and form
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such person is acquiring the
Common Stock subject to the Award for his or her own account for investment and
not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same,
and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order
to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Certificates for
shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to Awards shall bear the following
legend:
"The shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate are
subject to forfeiture, prohibition against transfer or assignment and
certain other restrictions set forth in the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan
of Analog Devices, Inc. and in the Restricted Stock Award dated as of
19__ granted by Analog Devices, Inc. to the owner of this certificate.
A copy of the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan and the above-described
Restricted Stock Award are available for inspection, without charge,
at the offices of Analog Devices, Inc."
(b) Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Award shall be subject to the
requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that
the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such Award
upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent
or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is
-5-
<PAGE> 60
necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of
shares thereunder, such Award may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such
listing, registration or qualifications.
7. Rights as a Shareholder.
The recipient of an Award shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date of issue of a stock
certificate to him or her for such shares. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such
stock certificate is issued.
8. Adjustment Provisions.
(a) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities, or if
additional shares or new or different shares or other securities are distributed
with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, through merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to such shares of Common
Stock or other securities, or if the Company shall distribute any substantial
amount of its assets with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other
securities, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment may be made in the
maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.
(b) Adjustments under this Section 8 will be made by the Board of
Directors, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and
the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares
will be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.
9. No Special Employment Rights.
Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award shall confer upon any
recipient of an Award any right with respect to the continuation of his or her
employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company
at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the
compensation of the recipient. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or
absence, or absence in military or government service shall constitute
termination of employment shall be determined by the Company at the time of such
absence.
-6-
<PAGE> 61
10. Other Employee Benefits.
The value of an Award granted to an employee or the sale of shares received
pursuant to an Award will not constitute compensation with respect to which any
other employee benefits of such employee are determined, including, without
limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, life insurance or
salary continuation plan, except as otherwise specifically determined by the
Board of Directors.
11. Amendment of the Plan.
The Plan may at any time be terminated, modified or amended by the holders
of a majority of the then outstanding voting shares of the Company. The Board of
Directors may at any time, and from time to time, modify or amend the Plan in
any respect, except that without the approval of the shareholders of the Company
the Board of Directors may not make any amendment which would (i) cause the Plan
to no longer comply with Rule 16b-3 or any successor to the foregoing or (ii)
require shareholder approval under any applicable listing requirement. The
termination or any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the
consent of a recipient of an Award, affect his or her rights under an Award
previously made to him or her. With the consent of the recipient of the Award,
the Board of Directors may amend outstanding Awards in a manner not inconsistent
with the Plan. The Board of Directors shall have the right to amend or modify
the terms and provisions of the Plan and of any outstanding Award to the extent
necessary to ensure the qualification of the Plan under Rule 16b-3 or any
successor rule.
12. Withholding.
(a) The Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind
otherwise due to the participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares issued upon any Award
under the Plan. Subject to the prior approval of the Company, which may be
withheld by the Company in its sole discretion, the participant may elect to
satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by directing the Escrow Agent
to forward to the Company a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
otherwise deliverable by the Escrow Agent to the participant pursuant to the
grant of an Award or (ii) by delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock
already owned by the participant. The shares so delivered by the Escrow Agent or
the participant shall have a fair market value equal to such withholding
obligation. The fair market value of the shares used to satisfy such withholding
obligation shall be determined by the Company as of the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined. A participant who has made an
-7-
<PAGE> 62
election pursuant to this Section 12(a) may only satisfy his or her withholding
obligation with shares of Common Stock which are not subject to any repurchase,
forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any persons who are
required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), no election to use shares for the payment
of withholding taxes shall be effective unless made in compliance with any
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 or any successor rule under the Exchange
Act.
(c) If the recipient of an Award under the Plan elects, in accordance with
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to
recognize ordinary income in the year of acquisition of any shares awarded under
the Plan, the Company will require at the time of such election an additional
payment for withholding tax purposes based on the difference, if any, between
the purchase price of such shares and the fair market value of such shares as of
the date immediately preceding the date of the Award.
13. Effective Date and Duration of the Plan.
(a) Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the
Board of Directors and approved by the Company's shareholders.
(b) Termination. Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors or
shareholders of the Company, the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i)
the close of business on the day next preceding the tenth anniversary on the
date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, or (ii) the date on which all
shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued pursuant to
the final vesting of Awards granted under the Plan. If the date of termination
is determined under (i) above, then Awards outstanding on such date shall
continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the
instruments evidencing such Awards.
14. Change in Control.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, in the
event of a Change in Control (as defined below), all of the Company's rights to
repurchase outstanding shares issued to participants in the Plan prior to the
occurrence of such Change in Control shall cease and terminate as of the date
such Change in Control occurs; and such shares, from and after such date, shall
no longer be restricted by the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan.
(b) A "Change in Control" shall occur or be deemed to have occurred only if
any of the following events occur: (i) any "person", as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
-8-
<PAGE> 63
Exchange Act, (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any corporation
owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially
the same proportion as their ownership of stock of the Company) is or becomes
the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of
the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; (ii)
individuals who, as of December 12, 1990, constitute the Board of Directors of
the Company (as of the date hereof, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason
to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person
becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination
of election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an
election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in
connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
election of the directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11
of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of this
Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent
Board; (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation
of the Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) more than 80% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to
implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no
"person" (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 30% of the combined voting
power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (iv) the shareholders of
the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an
agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets.
15. Provisions for Foreign Participants.
The Board of Directors may, without amending the Plan, modify Awards
granted to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United
States to recognize differences in tax, securities, currency laws, rules,
regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions.
16. Incorporation by Reference.
The Company is subject to the informational and reporting requirements of
