     The following documents, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange

by reference:

     (1) The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
     or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange

     All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

     Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

          Not applicable.

     Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

     The validity of the securities hereby registered will be passed upon by
Hale and Dorr LLP, Boston, Massachusetts. Paul P. Brountas, Esq., a partner of
Hale and Dorr LLP, serves as Clerk to the Registrant and owns 70,000 shares of
common stock of Analog Devices, Inc.

     Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended (the
"Articles of Organization") provides for indemnification of directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts
General Laws. Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws
provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify directors, officers,
employees or other agents of the corporation, and persons who serve at its
request as directors, officers, employees or other agents of another
organization, or who serve at its request in any capacity with respect to any
employee benefit plan, against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection
with an action or proceeding to which such person is a party or is threatened to
be made a party by reason of such position; provided, however, that such person
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best
interests of the corporation or, in the case of service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or
beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.

     Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides for
indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant, and directors or
employees of the Registrant now serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director or officer of another organization or in any capacity with respect to
an employee benefit plan of the Registrant, against all liabilities and expenses
imposed upon or incurred by any such person in connection with any legal
proceedings in which he may be a defendant or with which he may be threatened or
involved, directly or indirectly, by reason of his position as a director or
officer or as a result of his service with respect to an employee benefit plan;
provided, however, that the Registrant shall provide no indemnification if the
director or officer has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Registrant.
The Registrant shall further indemnify the officer or director for the expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and compromise of such
proceedings. However, no indemnification will be made to cover costs of
settlements and compromises if the Board determines by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum is not
obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Registrant then
in office), that such settlement or compromise is not in the best interests of
the Registrant.

     Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as it may be amended from
time to time, and Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization permit
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action in advance of its final disposition, subject to receipt of an
undertaking by the indemnified person to repay such payment if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under the
Articles of Organization. No advance may be made if the Board of Directors
determines, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors
(or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested
directors of the Registrant then in office), that such person did not act in
good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of
the Registrant.

     Article 6D of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides that to
the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws,
as it may be amended from time to time, no director shall be liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

liability (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
unauthorized distributions or loans under Section 61 or 62 of Chapter 156B, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

     The Registrant has directors and officers liability insurance for the
benefit of its directors and officers.

     Statement on Form 8-K/A (File No. 001-07819) filed on November 19, 1999).

     Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     1.   The Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
          made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
          include any material information with respect to the plan of
          distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
          any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

          (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
          be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
          therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

          (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
          any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
          termination of the offering.

     2.   The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     3.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
