(e)

On December 9, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of QuickLogic Corporation (the “Company”) established the target bonuses and performance objectives under the Company’s 2005 Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) for 2012. The Plan, as amended, was filed in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2008. Bonus compensation for 2012 is dependent upon the Company’s achievement of (a) annual new product revenue growth and (b) annual roadmap milestone objectives as set forth in the Company’s Annual Operating Plan (“AOP”). Bonuses are accrued quarterly and paid annually during the first quarter of the following fiscal year. Ninety percent of the annual new product revenue goal must be achieved before a bonus is earned. Annual new product revenue in excess of 100% of the objective earns a bonus multiplier of 1.5 and is not capped. Bonuses for the achievement of roadmap milestone objectives may range from 0% to 100% of the target annual bonus amounts. The Chief Executive Officer’s target bonus for 2012 is currently 50% of his annual base salary and each of the other participants has a target bonus for 2012 currently equal to 35% to 50% of his/her annual base salary. Participants are also eligible to receive an equity based incentive bonus upon the achievement of the annual market penetration milestones set forth in the Company’s AOP. A stock option pool of 361,440 shares has been reserved for payment of this bonus. All of the annual market penetration milestones must be achieved in order for the market penetration bonuses to be paid. The Chief Executive Officer’s equity bonus is 27% of the stock option pool and each of the other participants is eligible to receive an equity bonus representing from 9% to 25% of the stock option pool.
