Skyworks clears remaining regulators for Qorvo deal, eyes close around Oct. 5

Skyworks Solutions said the last major regulatory hurdle for its combination with Qorvo is behind it. In a Wednesday press release furnished on Form 8-K, the RF semiconductor company announced it has received all necessary regulatory clearances to proceed with the previously announced mergers and expects to close on or about Oct. 5, 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of remaining customary closing conditions.

Skyworks and Qorvo agreed on Oct. 28, 2025 to combine in a cash-and-stock transaction that the companies said would create a U.S.-based global leader in high-performance radio frequency, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductors. Wednesday’s filing did not restate deal economics; it focused on clearance status and closing timing.

Separately, Skyworks reiterated exchange offers for Qorvo’s 4.375% senior notes due 2029 and 3.375% senior notes due 2031, for new Skyworks notes, tied to a Form S-4 declared effective May 29, 2026. Each exchange offer and consent solicitation is conditioned on merger closing (a condition Skyworks said it may not waive). Merger closing is not conditioned on the exchange results. Consent payments are expected concurrently with or promptly after closing. The exchange offers were set to expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time on Oct. 2, 2026, and Skyworks said it anticipates extending that deadline to a time after the mergers close.

By the numbers

• Regulatory status: all necessary clearances received (per Skyworks)
• Expected close: on or about Oct. 5, 2026
• Original deal announcement: Oct. 28, 2025 (cash-and-stock)

• Exchange offer expire (current): Oct. 2, 2026, 5:00 p.m. ET (extension anticipated)
