SILICON VALLEY, Calif. 04/07/2021

AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) and Xilinx, Inc (NASDAQ:XLNX) announ­ced today that stock­hol­ders voted to appro­ve their respec­ti­ve pro­po­sals rela­ting to the pen­ding acqui­si­ti­on of Xilinx by AMD. The acqui­si­ti­on will bring tog­e­ther two indus­try lea­ders with com­ple­men­ta­ry pro­duct port­fo­li­os and cus­to­mers, com­bi­ning CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, Adap­ti­ve SoCs and deep soft­ware exper­ti­se to enable lea­der­ship in com­pu­ting plat­forms for cloud, edge and end devices. Tog­e­ther, the com­bi­ned com­pa­ny will have the abili­ty to capi­ta­li­ze on oppor­tu­ni­ties span­ning some of the industry’s most important growth seg­ments, inclu­ding data cen­ters, gam­ing, PCs, com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, auto­mo­ti­ve, indus­tri­al, aero­space and defense.

“For seve­ral years, AMD has suc­cessful­ly exe­cu­ted our long-term growth stra­tegy and deepe­ned the company’s part­ner­ships to dri­ve high per­for­mance com­pu­ting lea­der­ship,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD pre­si­dent and CEO. “The acqui­si­ti­on of Xilinx marks the next leg in our jour­ney to make AMD the stra­te­gic part­ner of choice for the lar­gest and most important tech­no­lo­gy com­pa­nies in the world as an indus­try lea­der with the visi­on, talent and sca­le to sup­port their future innovation.”

“The Xilinx team is one of the stron­gest in the indus­try and we are thril­led to be joi­ning AMD,” said Vic­tor Peng, Xilinx pre­si­dent and CEO. “Our shared cul­tures of inno­va­ti­on, excel­lence and col­la­bo­ra­ti­on will enable us to acce­le­ra­te growth in the data cen­ter and pur­sue a broa­der cus­to­mer base across more mar­kets as a com­bi­ned company.”

The clo­sing of the tran­sac­tion remains sub­ject to the satis­fac­tion of other cus­to­ma­ry clo­sing con­di­ti­ons, inclu­ding the receipt of requi­red regu­la­to­ry appr­ovals. The com­pa­nies con­ti­nue to expect that the tran­sac­tion will be com­ple­ted by the end of the 2021.

For­ward-loo­king state­ments may dis­cuss goals, inten­ti­ons and expec­ta­ti­ons as to future plans, trends, events, results of ope­ra­ti­ons or finan­cial con­di­ti­on, or other­wi­se, based on cur­rent beliefs and invol­ve num­e­rous risks and uncer­tain­ties that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from expec­ta­ti­ons. For­ward-loo­king state­ments speak only as of the date they are made or as of the dates indi­ca­ted in the state­ments and should not be reli­ed upon as pre­dic­tions of future events, as the­re can be no assu­rance that the events or cir­cum­s­tances reflec­ted in the­se state­ments will be achie­ved or will occur. For­ward-loo­king state­ments can often, but not always, be iden­ti­fied by the use of for­ward-loo­king ter­mi­no­lo­gy inclu­ding “belie­ves,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro for­ma,” “esti­ma­tes,” “anti­ci­pa­tes,” “desi­gned,” or the nega­ti­ve of the­se words and phra­ses, other varia­ti­ons of the­se words and phra­ses or com­pa­ra­ble ter­mi­no­lo­gy. The for­ward-loo­king state­ments in this com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on rela­te to, among other things, obtai­ning appli­ca­ble regu­la­to­ry appr­ovals of, or satis­fy­ing the other clo­sing con­di­ti­ons to, the pro­po­sed tran­sac­tion. The­se for­ward-loo­king state­ments invol­ve risks and uncer­tain­ties that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from tho­se con­tem­pla­ted by the state­ments.

A more ful­so­me dis­cus­sion of the risks rela­ted to the pro­po­sed tran­sac­tion is included in the joint pro­xy statement/prospectus.

Unlis­ted fac­tors may pre­sent signi­fi­cant addi­tio­nal obs­ta­cles to the rea­liza­ti­on of for­ward-loo­king state­ments. Many of the­se risks and uncer­tain­ties may be exa­cer­ba­ted by the COVID-19 pan­de­mic and any wor­sening of the glo­bal busi­ness and eco­no­mic envi­ron­ment as a result. Neither AMD nor Xilinx assu­mes, and each her­eby dis­claims, any obli­ga­ti­on to update for­ward-loo­king state­ments, except as may be requi­red by law.
