Qorvo Appoints Two New Independent Directors as Part of Board Refreshment Initiative

Richard L. Clemmer and Christopher R. Koopmans Join Board; David H. Y. Ho Retires

Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a global leader in connectivity and power solutions, has expanded its Board of Directors with the appointment of Richard L. Clemmer and Christopher R. Koopmans as independent directors, effective immediately. Concurrently, David H. Y. Ho has stepped down from the Board, as previously planned.

These changes mark a strategic step in Qorvo's broader board refreshment process, aimed at strengthening governance through the addition of directors with deep industry and operational expertise. With these appointments, Qorvo’s Board now consists of nine directors, eight of whom are independent, and one-third of the Board has joined within the past six months.

Clemmer, a veteran of the semiconductor industry, is the former CEO of NXP Semiconductors and brings decades of experience leading global transformation, driving growth, and overseeing complex strategic initiatives. Koopmans, currently COO at Marvell Technology, offers a strong background in corporate scaling, M&A integration, and operational leadership across multiple growth-focused technology platforms.

Board Chair Dr. Walden C. Rhines praised the appointments:

“Rick and Chris add critical perspectives and skillsets that align with Qorvo’s strategic priorities. Their leadership will be instrumental as we pursue margin expansion, operational excellence, and sustained shareholder value.”

Clemmer remarked:

“Qorvo is poised for significant growth, and I’m eager to support the management team and board in executing the company’s strategic roadmap.”

Koopmans added:

“I’m honored to join Qorvo during this pivotal phase and look forward to contributing to the company’s continued success and innovation.”

In acknowledging David H. Y. Ho’s retirement, Dr. Rhines stated:

“David’s insights and contributions over the years have been invaluable. We thank him for his dedicated service and wish him well in the future.”
