AMD intends to finan­ce the purcha­se of the Notes ten­de­red in the ten­der offer with the net pro­ceeds from the clo­sing of AMD’s pri­va­te offe­ring of $500 mil­li­on of seni­or notes due 2019 (the “New Notes Offe­ring”), which was also sepa­ra­te­ly announ­ced by AMD today.

The ten­der offer will expi­re at 12:00 mid­night, New York City time, on March 19, 2014, unless exten­ded (such date and time, as it may be exten­ded, the “Expi­ra­ti­on Date”) or ear­lier ter­mi­na­ted by AMD. Hol­ders who valid­ly ten­der, and do not valid­ly with­draw, their Notes on or pri­or to the Expi­ra­ti­on Date will be entit­led to recei­ve $1,014.83 for each $1,000 prin­ci­pal amount of Notes purcha­sed in the ten­der offer, plus accrued and unpaid inte­rest to, but not inclu­ding, the date of pay­ment for the Notes accept­ed for pay­ment. Fur­ther­mo­re, hol­ders who valid­ly ten­der, and do not valid­ly with­draw, their Notes at or pri­or to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 5, 2014 (the “Ear­ly Ten­der Time”) will recei­ve $30.00 for each $1,000 prin­ci­pal amount of Notes purcha­sed pur­su­ant to the ten­der offer, resul­ting in a total con­side­ra­ti­on of $1,044.83 for each $1,000 prin­ci­pal amount of Notes. Ten­ders of Notes must be made on or pri­or to the Expi­ra­ti­on Date. Notes ten­de­red pri­or to the Ear­ly Ten­der Time may be with­drawn at any time at or pri­or to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 5, 2014. Notes ten­de­red after such with­dra­wal dead­line may not be withdrawn.

To the ext­ent that accep­tances of all valid­ly ten­de­red Notes would requi­re AMD to purcha­se more than the Maxi­mum Amount of Notes in con­nec­tion with the ten­der offer, AMD will allo­ca­te accep­tances on a pro rata basis among the ten­de­ring holders.

The ten­der offer is con­tin­gent upon the satis­fac­tion of cer­tain con­di­ti­ons, inclu­ding the clo­sing of New Notes Offe­ring, which will be sub­ject to cus­to­ma­ry clo­sing conditions.
