NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2001

Fairchild Semiconductor International (NYSE: FCS) will hold its second annual Analyst Day at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, June 5 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Analyst Day will provide the financial community with in-depth briefings of Fairchild's initiatives in the power semiconductor market. Senior management will review the status of the company's markets, new product development initiatives and operations.

Fairchild's power initiatives have resulted in market share gains in 2000, when compared with 1999, of:

-- Fairchild becoming the Number 1 global supplier of broadbased power
components, which is a combination of power management ICs and power
transistors, as reported by Venture Development and Gartner;

-- Fairchild attaining additional leading power positions including:

-- Number 2 in the $3 billion Power MOSFET market;

-- Number 1 in the less than 200V MOSFET segment; and

-- In the top 5 in the $7 billion Power Discrete market and in the $5.2 billion
Analog Power management market.

"Our Analyst Day presentations give investors a unique opportunity to learn more about Fairchild's businesses and growth plan," says Kirk Pond, president, chairman and CEO of Fairchild Semiconductor. "Despite the current industry downturn, we know investors are interested in our company's long-term strategy, and how management plans to continue to grow the company. Fairchild will continue to execute on its two-pronged strategy of new product development and strategic acquisitions. This formula has served us well, allowing us to gain market share and outperform the industry in the four short years since our founding. We look forward to providing investors another opportunity to learn more about Fairchild Semiconductor, as we have been publicly listed for less than two years."
