PARTIAL DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-188104) pertaining to the registration of 90,000,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of QUALCOMM Incorporated (the “Company”), issuable under the QUALCOMM Incorporated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 LTIP”) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on April 24, 2013 (the “Prior Registration Statement”).

At the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on March 8, 2016, the stockholders of the Company approved the QUALCOMM Incorporated 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 LTIP”) to replace the 2006 LTIP. Effective that date, the 2006 LTIP was terminated, and no additional awards will be made thereunder. Effective immediately upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment to the Prior Registration Statement, the Company hereby deregisters the shares of Common Stock previously registered for offer and sale under the 2006 LTIP and remaining available for future issuance under the 2006 LTIP (the “Excess Shares”). The Excess Shares will immediately be carried forward to the New Registration Statement (as defined below). Further, additional shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 LTIP that expire, are forfeited, cancelled, terminated, fail to vest, are not earned due to any performance goal that is not met, paid in cash, exchanged by the participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy withholding or tax payment obligations (the “Potential Carry Forward Shares”) will also be deregistered upon such forfeiture, cancellation, termination, expiration, failure to vest, failure to be earned due to not meeting applicable performance criteria, payment in cash, exchange by the participant or withholding by the Company to satisfy withholding or tax payment obligations. The Prior Registration Statement will remain in effect as to the 2006 LTIP to cover the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the awards to which the Potential Carry Forward Shares are subject. Under the terms of the 2016 LTIP, upon the expiration, termination, cancellation, forfeiture or repurchase of the subject awards, the Potential Carry Forward Shares will automatically become available for issuance under the 2016 LTIP, deregistered from the Prior Registration Statement and carried forward to the New Registration Statement.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment to the Prior Registration Statement covering the 2006 LTIP, the Company is filing a new Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2016 LTIP and 20,119,666 Excess Shares, together with up to 69,880,334 Potential Carry Forward Shares if and when they become eligible for issuance under the terms of the 2016 LTIP as described above (the “New Registration Statement”).
