⁴		The additional shares to be registered by QUALCOMM Incorporated (the “Registrant”) on this Form S-8 Registration Statement under the QUALCOMM Incorporated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2006 LTIP”), include 13,000,000 newly authorized shares. The remaining 298,384 shares being registered under the 2006 LTIP are shares that were previously available for grant under the QUALCOMM Incorporated 1991 Stock Option Plan, the QUALCOMM Incorporated 1998 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the QUALCOMM Incorporated 2001 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plans”). The Registrant previously registered such shares for issuance on Registration Statements on Form S-8 (SEC File Nos. 333-2754, 333-32013, 333-69457, 333-95291, 333-60484, 333-103497 and 333-117626). The Registrant is simultaneously filing post-effective amendments to deregister such shares from the Registration Statements on Form S-8 previously filed with respect to the Prior Plans; accordingly, the associated registration fees previously paid on these shares under the prior Registration Statements are hereby carried forward to cover a portion of the registration fee due under this Registration Statement.
