Item 5.04   Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.
On December 16, 2011, Analog Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, regarding a blackout period, described below, under The Analog Devices, Inc. Investment Partnership Plan (the “Plan”), as a result of the conversion of the Analog Devices Stock Fund (the “Stock Fund”) from a unitized stock fund to a real-time traded fund. Due to this change, Plan participants will be temporarily unable to request exchanges or obtain loans or distributions involving Plan assets invested in the common stock of the Company through the Stock Fund during a temporary blackout period that is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Monday, January 23, 2012, and is expected to end on or about Thursday, January 26, 2012 (the “Plan Blackout Period”).
On December 19, 2011 the Company sent a blackout trading restriction notice (the “BTR Notice”) to its executive officers and directors informing them that, pursuant to Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder, they would be prohibited during the Plan Blackout Period from purchasing or selling shares of the Company’s common stock (including derivative securities pertaining to such shares) acquired in connection with their service or employment as a director or an executive officer.
A copy of the BTR Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Any inquiries regarding the Plan Blackout Period may be directed to Fidelity Investments at 1-888-ADI-7300.
