The Offer is sought to expire one minute following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 23, 2016, unless further extended as required or permitted by the merger agreement pertaining the other terms and conditions of the offer unchanged.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, has advised ON Semiconductor that as of the close of business, New York City time on June 9, 2016, approximately 41,773,784 shares of common stock of Fairchild (not including 3,517,572 shares tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery for which shares have not yet been delivered) have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 36.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Fairchild.
