Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As previously disclosed, the Board of Directors of QUALCOMM Incorporated (the “Company”) decided not to renew the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated as of September 25, 2005 between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor Rights Agent to Computershare Investor Services LLC, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”); and the Rights Agreement expired on its scheduled expiration date of September 25, 2015. On September 28, 2015, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Elimination eliminating from its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the designation of certain shares of its preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, which had been designated for potential use in connection with the Rights Agreement. As a result, all shares of preferred stock previously designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were eliminated and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation.
