Qualcomm Offers Bonus to Workers at Unit Being Sold to Ericsson


San Diego, May 12 (Bloomberg) -- Qualcomm Inc., a San Diego- based maker of cellular phones,
said most employees of its network-equipment division that's being sold to Swedish rival Ericsson AB
agreed to drop their lawsuit over millions of dollars in unvested Qualcomm stock options and will
instead accept a conciliatory hiring bonus, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. About 95 percent
of the 1,053 employees with unvested stock options agreed to accept the bonus plan, which could
pay entry- level workers about $20,000 and senior executives more than $1 million each. About 63
employees may pursue the lawsuit, which now seeks damages of $30 million, the paper said.

No. 3 cellular-phone maker Ericsson agreed in March to purchase Qualcomm's unit as part of a
broader agreement to share cellular-equipment technology and settle a patent dispute. (San Diego
