Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 12, 2008, Rockell N. Hankin, Chairman of the Board of Semtech Corporation (the “Company”), informed the Company that on that date he terminated the written stock trading plan he entered into on March 28, 2008. That plan was entered into in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to sell up to 225,940 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the exercise of an equal number of stock options with expiration dates in July 2008.

No stock was sold under the plan, as none of the options was exercised under the plan. Instead, Mr. Hankin has exercised the expiring options and now holds the resultant 225,940 shares of Company common stock.
