* The Investment Partnership Plan (the “Plan”) of Analog Devices, Inc. terminated the option to invest contributions in, or transfer funds into, shares of common stock, $0.16 2/3 par value per share, of Analog Devices, Inc. (the “Common Stock”) under the Plan, and all shares of Common Stock previously held under the Plan were liquidated. Analog Devices, Inc. filed post-effective amendments on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister all shares of Common Stock and Plan interests that remained unsold under the Plan. Accordingly, this Form 15 is filed to suspend the Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including on Form 11-K. The Common Stock continues to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act remains with respect to the Common Stock.



 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, The Investment Partnership Plan of Analog Devices, Inc. has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
