PROXY STATEMENT

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

WHY AM I RECEIVING THESE MATERIALS?

The board of directors of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with our Special Meeting to be held on February 10, 2009 at the Hilton Austin Airport, 9515 Hotel Drive, Austin, Texas (the “Special Meeting”). As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the meeting and are entitled to and requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement.

WHO IS SOLICITING MY VOTE?

This proxy solicitation is being made by our board of directors. We have retained Georgeson Stockholder Communications, Inc., professional proxy solicitors, to assist us with this proxy solicitation. We will pay the entire cost of this solicitation, including Georgeson’s fee, which we expect to be approximately $12,000.

WHEN WAS THIS PROXY STATEMENT MAILED TO STOCKHOLDERS?

The proxy statement was first mailed to stockholders on or about January , 2009.

WHAT MAY I VOTE ON?

You may vote on:

•

A proposal to issue, pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2008, as amended by the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2008 (as amended, the “Master Transaction Agreement”), by and among AMD, West Coast Hitech L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala (“WCH”), and Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC, a company wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi (“ATIC”), to an affiliate of Mubadala (i) 58,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrants), for an aggregate purchase price equal to (a) 58,000,000 multiplied by (b) the lesser of (A) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (B) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement (the “Transactions”) which Warrants will be exercisable after the earlier of (a) public ground-breaking of Fab 4X in New York and (b) 24 months from the date of issuance and will have a 10-year term and (ii) 35,000,000 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrants); and

•

Such other business as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

WHAT ARE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MASTER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT?

Under the Master Transaction Agreement, AMD, Mubadala and ATIC intend to enter two distinct but related concurrent transactions. Mubadala (through its subsidiary WCH) will pay to AMD an aggregate purchase price equal to (a) 58,000,000 multiplied by (b) the lesser of (A) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (B) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the Transactions to acquire the Shares and the Warrants. At the same time, AMD and ATIC will enter into a joint venture to form The Foundry Company, a global, independent semiconductor foundry to be headquartered in the United States. AMD will contribute assets, including its manufacturing facilities, its manufacturing employees, and intellectual property rights to The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company will assume approximately $1.2 billion in debt from AMD. ATIC will invest $2.1 billion to purchase its stake in The Foundry Company, of which it will invest $1.4 billion directly in the new entity and the remainder will be paid to AMD to purchase additional shares in The Foundry Company. ATIC’s investment in The Foundry Company will be separate from Mubadala’s investment in AMD, and ATIC will not acquire any shares of AMD.

WHO WILL OWN THE FOUNDRY COMPANY JOINT VENTURE?

When the Transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement close (the “Closing”), AMD and ATIC will each own one half of the voting shares, and each will be entitled to elect four out of eight members of the board of directors of The Foundry Company. At the Closing, The Foundry Company will be owned 34.2% by AMD and 65.8% by ATIC on a fully converted to common basis. ATIC’s ownership will increase over time based on the differences in securities held by AMD and ATIC, and depending on whether AMD elects to invest proportionately with ATIC in future capital infusions.

WHO ARE MUBADALA AND ATIC?

Mubadala is an investment and development company wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi. Mubadala’s mandate is to generate sustainable economic benefits for Abu Dhabi through prudent commercially viable and profitable business ventures. Mubadala was established as an Abu Dhabi public joint stock company.

ATIC is a limited liability company established under the laws of Abu Dhabi and wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi. ATIC is focused on making significant investments in the advanced technology sector, both locally and internationally. Its mandate is to generate returns that deliver long-term benefits to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. We have been informed by ATIC that it is anticipated that, prior to the Closing, ATIC will become an Abu Dhabi public joint stock company.

WHY IS AMD ISSUING THE SHARES AND THE WARRANTS TO WCH?

The issuance of the Shares and Warrants to WCH is a condition to ATIC’s obligations to enter into the joint venture to form The Foundry Company.

WHY IS AMD SEEKING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES, WARRANTS AND THE WARRANT SHARES?

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE, and we are therefore subject to the rules and regulations of the NYSE. Stockholder approval for the issuance of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares is

required by the rules of the NYSE and is a condition to closing of the Transactions. See “Proposal 1—Issuance of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares—Purpose of Stockholder Approval of Our Issuance of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to WCH” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

10.

HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND I VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL?

The board of directors recommends that you vote FOR the issuance of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares to WCH.

11.

WHY DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL?

Our board of directors held various discussions and consulted with our management and financial, legal and other advisors and anticipates that the Transactions will benefit AMD and its stockholders.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting. We will give you a ballot when you arrive.

If you complete and properly sign each proxy card you receive and return it to us in the prepaid envelope, it will be voted by one of the individuals indicated on the card (your “proxy”) as you direct. If you return your signed proxy card or submit a proxy over the Internet but do not mark the boxes showing how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted FOR the issuance of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares to WCH, and in the discretion of the proxy holders for any other matter that may come before the Special Meeting.

If you live in the United States or Canada, you may submit your proxy by following the Vote by Telephone instructions on the proxy card. If you have Internet access, you may submit your proxy from any location in the world by following the Vote by Internet instructions on the proxy card.

14.

WHO CAN ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING?

Only stockholders as of the close of business on January 15, 2009, holders of proxies for those stockholders and other persons invited by us can attend. If your shares are held by your broker in “street name,” you must bring a letter from your broker to the meeting showing that you were the direct or indirect (“beneficial”) owner of the shares on January 15, 2009 to attend the Special Meeting.

15.

CAN I VOTE AT THE MEETING?

Yes. If you held your shares in your own name on the record date, you may vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting. If you wish to vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting and they are

held by your broker in “street name,” you must obtain a proxy from the record holder and bring a letter from the broker to the meeting showing that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on .

16.

CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE SUBMITTED A PROXY?

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before the voting concludes at the Special Meeting. You may do so by submitting a proxy on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the meeting will be counted), or by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. However, your attendance at the Special Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Special Meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked.

17.

HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES IF THEY ARE HELD IN STREET NAME?

If your shares are held by your broker in “street name,” you will receive a form from your broker seeking instruction as to how your shares should be voted. We urge you to complete this form and instruct your broker how to vote on your behalf. You can also vote in person at the Special Meeting, but you must obtain a proxy from the record holder and bring a letter from the broker showing that you were the beneficial owner of your shares on .

18.

WHAT IS A “QUORUM”?

For the purposes of the Special Meeting, a “quorum” is a majority of the outstanding shares. They may be present at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy. There must be a quorum for the Special Meeting to be held. If you submitted a proxy via the Internet, by telephone or by properly submitting a proxy card, even if you abstain from voting, your shares will be considered part of the quorum.

19.

HOW ARE MATTERS PASSED OR DEFEATED?

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the proposal to approve the issuance of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares to WCH. The proposal to approve the issuance of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares to WCH requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, provided that the total vote cast on the proposal represents over 50% of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote on the proposal. If you “ABSTAIN” from voting on the proposal, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal. A broker non-vote occurs where the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner as to how such beneficial owner’s shares are to be voted on the proposal and does not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. Under the NYSE rules, brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal to approve the issuance of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares to WCH. If you complete the voting instructions and submit your proxy, the persons named as proxies will follow your instructions. If you submit a proxy but do not specify your voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares “FOR” the adoption of the proposal set forth in this proxy statement and in accordance with the discretion of the persons appointed as proxies on any other matters properly brought before the meeting for a vote.

20.

WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES?

Proxies will be tabulated by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., formerly known as ADP-ICS.

21.

Proxy cards, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are mailed or returned directly to Broadridge and handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be

disclosed except (1) as needed to permit Broadridge to tabulate and certify the vote and (2) as required by law. However, comments written on the proxy card may be forwarded to management. In that case, your identity may not be kept confidential.

22.

WILL YOU WEBCAST THE SPECIAL MEETING?

Yes. The Special Meeting will be webcast live. You can access it by going to our Investor Relations Web site at: www.amd.com. The webcast will enable you to listen only to the Special Meeting. You will not be able to ask questions. The Special Meeting audio webcast will be available on our Web site for 10 days after the Special Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1—ISSUANCE OF SHARES, WARRANTS AND WARRANT SHARES

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this proxy statement to “AMD,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are asking our stockholders to consider and approve the issuance of the Shares and Warrants to WCH pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.

Purpose of Stockholder Approval of Our Issuance of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to WCH

The approval of AMD’s stockholders of the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants to WCH pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement and the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants is a condition to the Closing. The Master Transaction Agreement requires AMD to obtain stockholder approval in accordance with the NYSE rules because WCH currently owns approximately 8.05% of our outstanding common stock (based on 608,716,592 shares outstanding as of January 14, 2009) and thus is a “substantial security holder” as defined in the NYSE rules.

Effects on Our Stockholders of Our Issuance of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to WCH

Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, WCH will purchase (i) 58,000,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) Warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrants) for an aggregate purchase price equal to (a) 58,000,000 multiplied by (b) the lesser of (A) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (B) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the Transactions. We will issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise by WCH of the Warrants. Upon issuance of the Shares at the Closing, WCH will own approximately 16.05% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based on 608,716,592 shares outstanding as of January 14, 2009. If WCH exercises the Warrants in full when the Warrants become exercisable, WCH will own approximately 19.9% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis (including outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, based on 608,716,592 shares outstanding as of January 14, 2009). Stockholders should consider the following factors which may affect them, as well as the other information contained in this proxy statement, in evaluating the proposal to approve the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.

Possible effect on market price of our common stock. We are unable to predict the potential effects of the Transactions on the trading activity and market price of our common stock. We are also unable to predict the effects on the trading activity and market price of our common stock if the Transactions do not close. Sales by WCH of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Other than securities law requirements, there are only limited restrictions on WCH’s sales of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares. See “The Master Transaction Agreement—Transfer Restrictions” included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

WCH will increase its ownership in our common stock and will have a right to designate one person for election to our board of directors. Following the Closing and when the Warrants become exercisable, assuming exercise of the Warrants, WCH will beneficially own approximately 19.9% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis (including outstanding stock options and restricted stock units) and would be our largest stockholder. As a result of the Transactions, WCH will increase its ability to influence matters submitted to our stockholders for a vote. Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, for so long as WCH and its permitted transferees beneficially own at least 10% of our outstanding common stock, WCH has the right to designate one person for election to our board of directors.

Dilution. The issuance of the Shares and Warrant Shares to WCH will have a dilutive effect on an individual stockholder’s percentage voting power. Our issuance of the Shares to WCH will also have a dilutive effect on our future net income per common share. Our issuance of the Warrants to WCH will have a dilutive effect on our future net income per common share when the Warrants become exercisable, and after the Warrants are exercised, the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will have a dilutive effect on our future net income per common share. In addition, the standstill provisions in the Master Transaction Agreement permit WCH to acquire additional shares of our common stock up to a limit of 22.5% in the aggregate of our voting securities during the five years after the Closing, and this ownership percentage limitation terminates after this five-year period.

The Parties

AMD. We are a global semiconductor company with facilities around the world. Our products consist of (i) x86 microprocessors, for the commercial and consumer markets, embedded microprocessors for commercial, commercial client and consumer markets and chipsets for desktop and notebook personal computers, professional workstations and servers and (ii) graphics, video and multimedia products for desktop and notebook computers, including home media PCs, professional workstations and servers and technology for game consoles.

Mubadala and WCH. WCH is an exempted limited partnership organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Mubadala owns all of the partnership interests in WCH. AMD and WCH are parties to a stock purchase agreement dated as of November 15, 2007, pursuant to which AMD issued and sold to WCH 49,000,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $622.3 million, less an expense reimbursement of approximately $14.6 million (the “2007 Investment”). As a result of the 2007 Investment, WCH owns approximately 8.05% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based on 608,716,592 shares outstanding as of January 14, 2009.

Mubadala is an investment and development company wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi. Mubadala’s mandate is to generate sustainable economic benefits for Abu Dhabi through prudent, commercially viable and profitable business ventures. Mubadala was established as an Abu Dhabi public joint stock company.

ATIC. ATIC is a limited liability company established under the laws of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi. ATIC is focused on making significant investments in the advanced technology sector, both locally and internationally. Its mandate is to generate returns that deliver long-term benefits to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. We have been informed by ATIC that it is anticipated that, prior to the Closing, ATIC will become an Abu Dhabi public joint stock company.

The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“The Foundry Company”), will be a U.S.-headquartered, leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing joint venture between ATIC and AMD.

The Transactions

Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, AMD and ATIC will form a manufacturing joint venture, The Foundry Company. AMD will contribute certain assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company in exchange for certain securities of The Foundry Company, ATIC will contribute cash to The Foundry Company and pay cash to AMD in exchange for certain securities of The Foundry Company, and WCH will purchase the Shares and the Warrants from AMD. As of September 27, 2008, the book value of the assets to be contributed by AMD to The Foundry Company was approximately $4.0 billion out of AMD’s approximately $9.4 billion of assets. AMD will also transfer all non-patent intellectual property related exclusively to manufacturing and will transfer patents related to its manufacturing and microprocessor business that are approximately equal in value to those being retained. However, no patents related to AMD’s graphics business will be transferred. The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products and will provide certain foundry services to AMD and in the future will offer foundry services to other third-party customers.

The Master Transaction Agreement contemplates that AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), which sets forth the rights and obligations of AMD and ATIC as shareholders of The Foundry Company. In addition, a Funding Agreement among AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company (the “Funding Agreement”) will provide for further equity funding of The Foundry Company by ATIC of a minimum of $3.6 billion and up to $6.0 billion over the five years after the Closing, and a Wafer Supply Agreement between AMD and The Foundry Company (the “Wafer Supply Agreement”) will govern the terms by which AMD will purchase products manufactured by The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products using intellectual property transferred by AMD to The Foundry Company, and certain intellectual property licensed by AMD. For more information on these agreements, see “The Shareholders’ Agreement,” “The Funding Agreement,” “The Wafer Supply Agreement” and “Agreements Related to Intellectual Property” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Our Purpose and Reasons for the Transactions

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Vertically integrated companies are abandoning plans to invest in new capacity and manufacturing technology while announcing plans to outsource a growing percentage of their wafer requirements. Captive volumes can no longer support the cost of building leading-edge capacity and process technology investments.

Our board of directors held various discussions and consulted with our management and financial, legal and other advisors and believes that the Transactions will benefit AMD stockholders in a number of ways:

•

We will increase our cash balance by approximately $0.8 billion as a result of the sale of the Shares and Warrants. In addition, although we will consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company after the Closing, because we will be transferring the subsidiary that owes $1.2 billion of indebtedness to The Foundry Company at Closing, we will no longer be obligated to repay that $1.2 billion of indebtedness after the Closing.

•

We believe we will greatly reduce any future manufacturing capital expenditures as well as process technology costs. ATIC has committed to provide additional equity funding to The Foundry Company of at least $3.6 billion and up to $6.0 billion over the five years after the Closing. We will have the right, but not the obligation, to fund the capital requirements of The Foundry Company in an amount pro-rata to our interest in the fully converted shares of The Foundry Company.

•

We will have a 50% voting interest prior to a “reconciliation event” (as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement), following which our voting interest will equal our economic interest (approximately 34.2% fully converted to common interest at the Closing) in The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company’s manufacturing capabilities will allow our management to focus on the research and development of products rather than manufacturing and processing.

As a shareholder of The Foundry Company, we expect to be able to take advantage of the shift by integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”) to a fabless business model. We believe the number of IDMs foregoing their own manufacturing capabilities will continue to increase, which would result in higher demand for foundry services. The Foundry Company should, and is designed to, be in a position to capitalize on this trend by meeting customers’ demand volumes.

Merrill Lynch & Co. (“Merrill Lynch”) has provided an opinion to our board of directors that as of December 5, 2008 and based upon the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of its review, the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to AMD. “Consideration” for purposes of Merrill Lynch’s opinion consists of AMD’s receipt of Class A Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company and one Class A Ordinary Share of The Foundry Company, cash paid to AMD for the Shares and Warrants, cash paid to AMD from ATIC for Class B Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company, assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of debt owed to third parties by AMD or a subsidiary of AMD (the “Third-Party Debt”) by The

Foundry Company, and extinguishment of Business accounts receivable owed by AMD to the Business by The Foundry Company.

•

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”) has provided an opinion to the Transaction Oversight Committee of our board of directors (the “Transaction Oversight Committee”) that as of December 5, 2008, and based upon and subject to the various considerations set forth in the opinion, the Consideration to be received by AMD in connection with the Transactions was fair from a financial point of view to AMD. For the purposes of Morgan Stanley’s opinion “Consideration” was defined as, in the aggregate: (i) the equity securities of The Foundry Company received by AMD and the extinguishment of certain intercompany accounts relating to AMD’s semiconductor manufacturing business in exchange for the contribution by AMD of certain assets related to its semiconductor manufacturing business, and certain related liabilities including, without limitation, $1.2 billion in third-party debt, to The Foundry Company; (ii) $700 million in cash received by AMD from ATIC in exchange for the transfer of an approximately 21.9% interest in The Foundry Company from AMD to ATIC, resulting in AMD owning approximately 34.2% of The Foundry Company on a fully converted basis and a 50% voting interest in The Foundry Company; and (iii) an aggregate purchase price equal to (a) 58,000,000 multiplied by (b) the lesser of (A) the average of the closing prices per share of AMD common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (B) the average of the closing prices per share of AMD common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the Transactions received by AMD from WCH in exchange for the Shares and the Warrants. The Transaction Oversight Committee was established by our board of directors to independently review and evaluate the Transactions. The Transaction Oversight Committee was comprised of independent (as defined under NYSE rules and regulations) and disinterested directors.

In its review of the proposed transactions, our board of directors also identified and considered a number of potentially negative factors and risks related to the Transactions, including:

•

the risk that the Transactions might not be completed in a timely manner or at all, and the possible negative effect of public announcement and pendency of the Transactions on our business, results of operations and financial condition;

•

the risk that the anticipated benefits and synergies of the joint venture might not be fully realized, might not be realized on a timely basis or might not be realized at all;

•

the effect of public announcement of the Transactions on our stock price, including as a result of dilution in the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders as a result of the Transactions;

•

the risk that provisions in the Master Transaction Agreement and related agreements may have the effect of discouraging other persons potentially interested in a business combination with us from pursuing that business combination, even if more favorable to our stockholders than the Transactions, including the restrictions on our ability to solicit offers for alternative business transactions and the requirement that we pay a termination fee of $50 million to WCH upon termination of the Master Transaction Agreement as a result of change of control proposals for us;

•

the restrictions imposed by the Master Transaction Agreement on the conduct of our business in the period prior to the Closing;

•

we will no longer have direct control over the manufacture of our wafers which will be manufactured by The Foundry Company;

•

if The Foundry Company is sold, liquidated or dissolved, we may not be able to have The Foundry Company, or find another company to, manufacture wafers for us of suitable quality and in sufficient quantities, on acceptable terms or at all;

•

because we currently own 100% of the assets that will be transferred to The Foundry Company but will only own a 34.2% interest in The Foundry Company on a fully converted to common basis at the

Closing, if The Foundry Company is sold, liquidated or dissolved, we could receive a substantially lesser portion of the proceeds from the sale, liquidation or dissolution, if any, than we would receive from a sale of the assets that will be transferred to The Foundry Company if we retained them;

•

the possibility of management and employee disruption associated with the Transactions and transfer of assets to The Foundry Company; and

•

the right of WCH and ATIC to terminate the Master Transaction Agreement under certain circumstances, including a material adverse effect on us or on the proposed business of The Foundry Company, if the Closing has not occurred by March 7, 2009, or if the Transactions have not been approved by certain regulatory authorities, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).

Financial Impact on Us of the Master Transaction Agreement, Including Our Issuance of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to WCH

The proceeds we receive from our issuance of the Shares and the Warrants to WCH will be recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as stockholders’ equity. We will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include reducing our outstanding indebtedness, increasing our working capital, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our issuance of the Shares to WCH will have a dilutive effect on our future net income per common share. Our issuance of the Warrants to WCH will have dilutive effect on our future net income per common share when the Warrants become exercisable, and after the Warrants are exercised, the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will have a dilutive effect on our future net income per common share.

We will consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”). Based on the structure of the Transactions, pursuant to the guidance in FIN 46R, The Foundry Company is a variable-interest entity and we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and are, therefore, required to consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company. Upon the Closing, the accounts of The Foundry Company will include (i) the assets and liabilities we contributed to The Foundry Company, recorded at their historical costs, in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company and (ii) the cash invested by ATIC directly into The Foundry Company in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company. Upon consolidation, intercompany transactions and profits will be eliminated and ATIC’s noncontrolling interest, represented by its equity interests in The Foundry Company, will not be recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as stockholders’ equity due to the right that ATIC has to put those securities back to us in the event of a change of control of AMD.

Our net income per common share will consist of our consolidated net income adjusted for (i) the portion of The Foundry Company’s earnings or losses attributable to ATIC, based on ATIC’s proportional ownership interest in The Foundry Company’s Class A Preferred Shares, and (ii) the non-cash cumulative dividend attributable to us, based on our proportional ownership interest in The Foundry Company’s Class A Preferred Shares.

Opinion of Our Financial Advisor

AMD retained Merrill Lynch to act as its financial advisor with respect to the establishment of a joint venture, The Foundry Company, with ATIC and WCH under the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement (i) AMD would transfer certain assets to The Foundry Company, and The Foundry Company would assume certain liabilities, including the Third-Party Debt, in each case related to AMD’s “front-end” semiconductor manufacturing or fabrication facilities, properties and assets (excluding assets, facilities and properties related to “back-end” manufacturing functions such as assembly, test, mark and packaging) (the “Business”), (ii) ATIC would contribute $1.4 billion in cash to The Foundry Company and pay $700 million in cash to AMD, (iii) The Foundry Company would issue to AMD Class A Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company representing approximately 34.2% of The Foundry Company’s outstanding ordinary shares on a fully converted basis as well as one Class A Ordinary Share and would issue to ATIC Class A and Class B

Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company and Class A and Class B Convertible Notes of The Foundry Company, in the principal amount of approximately $1.0 billion (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances), which when taken together, on an as converted basis, would represent approximately 65.8% of The Foundry Company’s outstanding ordinary shares, as well as one Class A Ordinary Share, (iv) AMD would issue to WCH 58,000,000 shares of AMD’s common stock at a per share price equal to the lower of (a) the average closing prices of AMD common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (b) the average closing prices of AMD common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the closing date of the Transactions and AMD would receive from WCH such purchase price in cash in exchange for such shares, (v) AMD would issue to WCH Warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of AMD’s common stock with a $0.01 per share exercise price and 10-year expiration, (vi) AMD would extinguish any and all intercompany liabilities between it and the Business on or prior to Closing, and (vii) AMD, ATIC, WCH and The Foundry Company would enter into a number of related commercial agreements, including, without limitation, the Funding Agreement that commits ATIC under certain conditions to fund the build-out of The Foundry Company’s semiconductor manufacturing facilities in New York and Dresden and the Wafer Supply Agreement that governs the pricing, volume and other commitments (including exclusivity commitments by AMD) between AMD and The Foundry Company for the supply of wafers.

In connection with the Transactions, AMD requested that Merrill Lynch evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration (as defined below) to be received by AMD pursuant to the Transactions. “Consideration” for purposes of Merrill Lynch’s opinion consists of AMD’s receipt of Class A Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company and one Class A Ordinary Share, cash paid to AMD for shares of AMD Common Stock and the Warrants, cash paid to AMD from ATIC for Class B Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company, assumption of the Third-Party Debt by The Foundry Company, and extinguishment of Business accounts receivable owed by AMD to the Business by The Foundry Company. At the meeting of the AMD board of directors on December 5, 2008, Merrill Lynch rendered its oral opinion to the board of directors, which opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of December 5, 2008, based upon the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of such review, as set forth in its opinion, the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Transactions was fair from a financial point of view.

The full text of Merrill Lynch’s opinion is attached as Annex A and is incorporated into this document by reference in its entirety. The opinion sets forth material information relating to such opinion, including the assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Merrill Lynch in rendering its opinion. We encourage you to read the entire opinion carefully. The summary of the opinion of Merrill Lynch set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be reviewed together with, the full text of the opinion.

Merrill Lynch’s opinion is addressed to the AMD board of directors and addresses only the fairness, as of the date of the opinion, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement. The opinion is for the use and benefit of AMD’s board of directors, does not address the merits of the underlying decision by AMD to engage in the Master Transaction Agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote on the transaction or any matter related to the Master Transaction Agreement. In addition, the opinion does not address the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of AMD. The opinion makes no comment on, and indicates that no implication should be drawn as to, the parties reasons for entering into the Amendment and expresses no view or opinion as to their rights and obligations under the Master Transaction Agreement prior to the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement. In rendering the opinion, Merrill Lynch expressed no view or opinion with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the commercial agreements contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement or the trading price of AMD’s common stock at any date subsequent to the date of the opinion, including without limitation the closing date for the Transactions or of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation payable to or to be received by any officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the Master Transaction Agreement, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement.

In arriving at its opinion, Merrill Lynch, among other things:

•

reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to AMD and the Business that Merrill Lynch deemed to be relevant;

•

reviewed certain information, including financial forecasts, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of AMD, the Business and The Foundry Company furnished to Merrill Lynch by AMD;

•

conducted discussions with members of senior management and representatives of AMD and the Business concerning the matters described in bullets 1 and 2 above;

•

reviewed the market prices and valuation multiples for certain publicly traded companies that Merrill Lynch deemed to be relevant to AMD, the Business and The Foundry Company;

•

reviewed the results of operations of AMD and the Business and the financial forecasts for AMD, the Business and The Foundry Company and compared them with those of certain publicly traded companies that Merrill Lynch deemed to be relevant;

•

compared the proposed financial terms of the Master Transaction Agreement (as amended by the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement) with the financial terms of certain other transactions that Merrill Lynch deemed to be relevant;

•

participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of AMD, the Business, The Foundry Company, ATIC and WCH and their financial and legal advisors;

•

reviewed the Master Transaction Agreement dated as of October 6, 2008 as well as the Ancillary Agreements (as such term is defined in the Master Transaction Agreement);

•

reviewed a draft of the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement dated December 4, 2008; and

•

reviewed such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other matters as Merrill Lynch deemed necessary, including Merrill Lynch’s assessment of general economic, market and monetary conditions.

In preparing its opinion, Merrill Lynch assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to it, discussed with or reviewed by or for it, or publicly available, and Merrill Lynch did not assume any responsibility for independently verifying such information or undertaking an independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of AMD or The Foundry Company, nor was Merrill Lynch furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Merrill Lynch did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of AMD or The Foundry Company under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In addition, Merrill Lynch did not assume any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of AMD or The Foundry Company. With respect to the financial forecast information furnished to or discussed with Merrill Lynch by AMD, Merrill Lynch assumed that such information was reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgment of AMD’s management as to the expected future financial performance of AMD, the Business and The Foundry Company, as the case may be. Merrill Lynch also assumed that the final form of the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement and Ancillary Agreements would be substantially similar to the last draft Merrill Lynch reviewed. The actual executed Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement was substantively identical to the last draft of the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement that Merrill Lynch reviewed before rendering its opinion. The only difference between the two documents was that the actual executed Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement was signed by the parties whereas the last draft of the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement that Merrill Lynch reviewed before rendering its opinion was not. The AMD board of directors based its authorization for the Company to enter into the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement in part on Merrill Lynch’s opinion in the form attached as Annex A and did not ask Merrill Lynch to subsequently revise and reissue its opinion after the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement was signed by the parties, which is why Merrill Lynch’s opinion in the form attached as Annex A refers to a draft of the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement rather than to the executed Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement.

Merrill Lynch’s opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date of the opinion, and upon the information made available to Merrill Lynch as of the date of the opinion.

Merrill Lynch’s Financial Analyses

At the meeting of AMD’s board of directors held on December 5, 2008, Merrill Lynch presented certain financial analyses accompanied by delivery of its written materials in connection with the delivery of its oral opinion at that meeting and its subsequent written opinion. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses performed by Merrill Lynch in arriving at its opinion.

Comparable Public Trading Multiples Analysis

Merrill Lynch compared selected financial and trading data for four publicly traded semiconductor foundry companies that Merrill Lynch deemed to be relevant to its analysis of the Business and The Foundry Company. These companies were:

•

Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.

•

United Microelectronics Corporation

•

Semiconductor Manufacturing Incorporated

•

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Ltd.

For each of the companies identified above, Merrill Lynch calculated various valuation multiples, including:

•

The ratio of enterprise value to the estimated revenue, for calendar year 2009;

•

The ratio of enterprise value to the estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), for calendar year 2009;

•

The ratio of enterprise value to the book value of assets; and

•

The ratio of market value to the book value of equity.

Based upon its analysis of the full ranges of multiples calculated for the companies identified above and its consideration of various factors and judgments about current market conditions and the characteristics of such companies (including qualitative factors and judgments involving non-mathematical considerations), Merrill Lynch determined relevant ranges of multiples for such companies (which relevant ranges were narrower than the full ranges of such multiples). The relevant ranges of such multiples, as determined by Merrill Lynch, are set forth in the table below.

For purposes of its analysis, Merrill Lynch calculated the enterprise value as the market capitalization plus total debt, minority interests and preferred stock, less cash and cash equivalents. To calculate these trading multiples, Merrill Lynch used revenue and EBITDA projections reported by independent research analyst reports and First Call estimates and closing trading prices of equity securities of each identified company on December 3, 2008. First Call is an online aggregator of independent research analyst estimates managed by Thomson Financial. For book value of asset and book value of equity, Merrill Lynch used the latest public filings for each identified company. For the Business, Merrill Lynch used revenue, book value of assets, and book value of equity projections based, separately, on estimates reported by internal management projections.


	Comparable Company Relevant Multiple Range	Implied Enterprise Value of the Business ($ in billions)	Implied Multiple based on Consideration
Research Estimates:
CY2009 Enterprise Value / Revenue	0.50x – 1.10x	$0.7 – $1.6	2.17x
CY2009 Enterprise Value / EBITDA	1.5x – 3.0x	$0.1 – $0.2	37.6x
Enterprise Value / Book Value of Assets	0.20x – 0.40x	$0.7 – $1.5	0.83x
Market Value / Book Value of Equity	0.20x – 0.60x	$1.4 – $2.0	1.26x

Merrill Lynch observed that the implied multiples based on the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement were above the range of the comparable public trading multiples projected for calendar year 2009 based on management’s estimated revenue and EBITDA for the Business. In addition, Merrill Lynch observed that the implied multiples based on the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement were above the range of the comparable trading multiples for book value of assets and book value of equity of the Business. Merrill Lynch also observed that the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement was above the range of the implied enterprise value of the Business derived from the application of the relevant comparable public trading multiples projected for calendar year 2009 based on management’s estimated revenue and EBITDA for the Business. In addition, Merrill Lynch observed that the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement was above the range of the implied enterprise value of the Business derived from the application of the relevant transaction multiples to estimated book value of equity and book value of assets for the Business based on management estimates.

It should be noted that no company used in the above analysis is identical to the Business or The Foundry Company. In evaluating companies identified by Merrill Lynch as comparable to the Business or The Foundry Company, Merrill Lynch made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of AMD or The Foundry Company, such as the impact of competition on the business of AMD or The Foundry Company and the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any material change in the financial condition and prospects of AMD or The Foundry Company or the industry or in the financial markets in general. A complete analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the comparable companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values of such comparable companies.

Comparable Transaction Analysis

Using publicly available research analyst estimates and other publicly available information, Merrill Lynch examined the following transactions in the semiconductor manufacturing industry which Merrill Lynch deemed to be relevant. The precedent transactions that Merrill Lynch considered to be relevant were:


Acquiror		Target
Tower Semiconductor Ltd.		Jazz Technologies, Inc.
Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.		Hitachi Semiconductor—Singapore Fab
Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation		Winbond Electronics
Acquicor Technology		Jazz Semiconductor
ON Semiconductor Corporation		LSI—Gresham Fab
Micron Technology		Toshiba DRAM

For each of the transactions identified above, Merrill Lynch calculated various valuation multiples, including the ratio of market value to the book value of equity for the identified target company based on the period in which the relevant transaction was announced.

Based upon its analysis of the full ranges of multiples calculated for the transactions identified above and its consideration of various factors and judgments about current market conditions and the characteristics of such transactions and the companies involved in such transactions (including qualitative factors and judgments involving non-mathematical considerations), Merrill Lynch determined relevant ranges of multiples for such transactions (which relevant ranges were narrower than the full ranges of such multiples). The relevant range of such multiples, as determined by Merrill Lynch, was 1.00x to 1.10x, as set forth in the table below.

All calculations of multiples paid in the transactions identified above were based on public information available at the time of public announcement of such transactions. Merrill Lynch’s analysis did not take into account different market and other conditions during the period in which the selected transactions occurred.

The following table summarizes the derived relevant range of multiples for the transactions identified above and the ranges of enterprise value of the Business, implied by such multiples:


	Multiple Range	Implied Enterprise Value of the Business ($ in billions)	Implied Multiple based on Consideration
Market Value / Book Value of Equity	1.00x – 1.10x	$2.7 – $2.9	1.26x

Merrill Lynch observed that the implied multiples based on the Consideration received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement were above the range of the comparable transaction multiples for book value of equity. Merrill Lynch also observed that the Consideration to be received by AMD was above the range of the implied enterprise value of the Business derived from the application of the relevant transaction multiples to estimated book value of equity for the Business based on management estimates.

It should be noted that no transaction utilized in the analysis above is identical to the Master Transaction Agreement. A complete analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved in these transactions and other factors that could affect the transaction multiples in such transactions to which the Master Transaction Agreement is being compared.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Merrill Lynch performed a discounted cash flow analysis of The Foundry Company for the period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2020 based on management projections. Merrill Lynch calculated ranges of enterprise value based upon the sum of the discounted net present value of The Foundry Company’s eleven year stream of projected unlevered free cash flows plus the discounted net present value of the terminal value based on a range of multiples applied to The Foundry Company’s projected 2020 EBITDA. In its discounted cash flow analysis, Merrill Lynch performed sensitivities based upon the attainment of varying amounts of third-party customer revenue and applied what it considered to be appropriate discount rates ranging from 20.0% to 30.0% and terminal value multiples of estimated calendar year 2020 EBITDA ranging from 2.0x to 5.0x, both of which ranges were based on attainment of third-party customer revenue.

Using the discount rates and terminal value multiples of estimated calendar year 2020 EBITDA referred to above, Merrill Lynch calculated the following range of discounted cash flow values for The Foundry Company ($ in billions):


	Low			High
Implied discounted cash flow values for The Foundry Company	$	(1.4	)	$	2.0

Merrill Lynch observed that the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement was above the range of discounted cash flow values based on management’s guidance.

General

The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Merrill Lynch in arriving at its opinion. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary above or in this proxy statement is not meant to indicate that such analysis was given more weight than any other analysis. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances; therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. No company, business or transaction used in such analyses as a comparison is identical to the Business, The Foundry Company or the Master Transaction Agreement, nor is an evaluation of such analyses entirely mathematical. In arriving at its opinion, Merrill Lynch did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor.

Accordingly, Merrill Lynch believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses, would, in the view of Merrill Lynch, create an incomplete and misleading view of the analyses underlying Merrill Lynch’s opinion.

Some of the summaries of financial analyses above include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Merrill Lynch’s analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the analyses. Considering the data described above without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Merrill Lynch’s analyses.

The analyses performed by Merrill Lynch include analyses based upon forecasts of future results, which results may be significantly more or less favorable than those upon which Merrill Lynch’s analyses were based. Because the analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors and events, including, without limitation, factors relating to general economic and competitive conditions beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, neither Merrill Lynch nor any other person assumes responsibility if future results or actual values are materially different from those contemplated above.

AMD retained Merrill Lynch based upon Merrill Lynch’s experience and expertise. Merrill Lynch is an internationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the proposed transactions. Merrill Lynch, as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with business combinations and acquisitions and for other purposes.

Under the terms of the engagement letter between Merrill Lynch and AMD, Merrill Lynch agreed to provide financial advisory services to AMD, including an opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Consideration to be received pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, and AMD agreed to pay Merrill Lynch a customary fee, a significant portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Master Transaction Agreement. In addition, AMD has agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch and its affiliates (and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons) against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws, related to or arising out of Merrill Lynch’s engagement.

Merrill Lynch and its affiliates have, in the past, provided financial advisory and financing services to AMD and/or its affiliates and may continue to do so in the future and have received, and may receive, fees for the rendering of such services. In addition, in the ordinary course of its business, Merrill Lynch or its affiliates may actively trade AMD shares and its other securities for its own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Opinion of the Financial Advisor of the Transaction Oversight Committee of Our Board of Directors

The Transaction Oversight Committee of AMD retained Morgan Stanley to provide it with financial advisory services and a financial opinion in connection with a possible joint venture related to its semiconductor foundry business. The Transaction Oversight Committee selected Morgan Stanley to act as its financial advisor based on Morgan Stanley’s qualifications, expertise and reputation and its familiarity with AMD. At the meeting of the Transaction Oversight Committee on December 5, 2008, Morgan Stanley rendered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of December 5, 2008, and based upon and subject to the various considerations set forth in the opinion, the “Consideration” to be received by AMD in connection with the Transactions was fair from a financial point of view to AMD. For the purposes of Morgan Stanley’s opinion and for this section of the proxy statement “Consideration” was and is, respectively, defined as, in the aggregate: (i) the equity securities of The Foundry Company received by AMD and the extinguishment of certain intercompany accounts relating to AMD’s semiconductor manufacturing business in exchange for the contribution by AMD of certain assets related to its semiconductor manufacturing business, and certain related liabilities including, without limitation, $1.2 billion in third-party debt, to The Foundry Company; (ii) $700 million in cash received by AMD from ATIC in exchange for the transfer of an approximately 21.9%

interest in The Foundry Company from AMD to ATIC, resulting in AMD owning approximately 34.2% of the Foundry Company on a fully converted basis and a 50% voting interest in The Foundry Company; and (iii) approximately $123 million received by AMD from WCH in exchange for the Shares and the Warrants (such approximate amount representing the average closing prices of AMD common stock for the period from November 14, 2008 through December 3, 2008, multiplied by 58 million shares).

The full text of Morgan Stanley’s opinion is attached as Annex B and is incorporated into this proxy statement by reference in its entirety. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Morgan Stanley in rendering its opinion. We encourage you to read the entire opinion carefully. Morgan Stanley’s opinion is directed to the Transaction Oversight Committee and addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view of the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Transactions as of the date of the opinion. It does not address any other aspects of the Transactions and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of AMD common stock as to how to vote at any stockholders’ meeting to be held in connection with the Transactions. The summary of the opinion of Morgan Stanley set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be reviewed together with, the full text of the opinion.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Morgan Stanley, among other things:

•

reviewed certain publicly available financial statements and other business and financial information of AMD;

•

reviewed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning AMD;

•

reviewed certain financial projections of AMD and The Foundry Company prepared by the management of AMD;

•

reviewed certain financial projections of The Foundry Company jointly prepared by the managements of AMD and WCH, respectively;

•

discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of AMD and The Foundry Company, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Transactions, with senior executives of AMD and WCH, respectively;

•

reviewed the pro forma impact of the Transactions on AMD’s earnings per share, cash flow, consolidated capitalization and financial ratios;

•

compared the operations and financial forecasts for The Foundry Company with that of certain publicly-traded companies comparable with The Foundry Company;

•

reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain transactions comparable to the Transactions;

•

compared the financial performance of AMD and the prices and trading activity of the AMD Common Stock with that of certain other publicly-traded companies comparable with AMD, and their securities;

•

participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of AMD and WCH and their financial and legal advisors;

•

reviewed the Master Transaction Agreement and certain related documents; and

•

performed such other analyses and considered such other factors as it deemed appropriate.

The actual executed Amendment was substantively identical to the last draft of the Amendment that Morgan Stanley reviewed before rendering its opinion. The only material difference between the two documents was that the actual executed Amendment was signed by the parties whereas the last draft of the Amendment that Morgan Stanley reviewed before rendering its opinion was not. The Transaction Oversight Committee based its recommendation that the AMD board of directors authorize the Company to enter into the Amendment in part on Morgan Stanley’s opinion in the form attached as Annex B and did not ask Morgan Stanley to subsequently

revise and reissue its opinion after the Amendment was signed by the parties, which is why Morgan Stanley’s opinion in the form attached as Annex B refers to a draft of the Amendment rather than to the executed Amendment.

In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to Morgan Stanley by AMD and WCH, and formed a substantial basis for its opinion. With respect to the financial projections, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Transactions, Morgan Stanley assumed that they had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of AMD and WCH of the future financial performance of AMD and The Foundry Company, as applicable. In addition, Morgan Stanley assumed that the Transactions will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Master Transaction Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions, including, among other things, that ATIC will obtain financing in accordance with the terms set forth in the Master Transaction Agreement and related agreements. Morgan Stanley assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the proposed Transactions, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Transactions. Morgan Stanley relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment by AMD of:

•

the future, potential financial performance of each of AMD and The Foundry Company;

In connection with the analysis of the Consideration, Morgan Stanley took into consideration the provision of certain future financing to The Foundry Company by ATIC and AMD and other factors deemed appropriate. Morgan Stanley is not a legal, tax or regulatory advisor. Morgan Stanley is a financial advisor only and relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of AMD and WCH and their legal, tax or regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax or regulatory matters. Morgan Stanley’s opinion only addressed the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by AMD in connection with the Transactions. Morgan Stanley’s opinion did not address the fairness of any non-financial aspects of the Transactions. Morgan Stanley expressed no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of AMD’s, WCH’s or ATIC’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration to be received by AMD in the Transactions. Morgan Stanley did not make any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of AMD or The Foundry Company, nor was Morgan Stanley furnished with any such appraisals. Morgan Stanley’s opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Morgan Stanley as of December 5, 2008. Events occurring after December 5, 2008 may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and Morgan Stanley did not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion.

The following is a brief summary of the material analyses performed by Morgan Stanley in connection with its oral opinion and the preparation of its written opinion letter dated December 5, 2008. The various analyses summarized below were based on closing market prices as of December 3, 2008, the second to last full trading day prior to the meeting of the Transaction Oversight Committee to consider and approve the Transactions and each of the transaction documents and recommend, among other things, that the full board of directors of AMD approve the Transactions and the execution and delivery of the transaction documents to which AMD is a party. Some of these summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by Morgan Stanley, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Rather, the analyses

listed in the tables and described below must be considered as a whole; considering any portion of such analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying Morgan Stanley’s fairness opinion.

Comparable Company Analysis

Morgan Stanley performed a comparable company analysis, which attempts to provide a range of implied aggregate values for The Foundry Company by comparing it to similar companies. Morgan Stanley compared certain financial information of The Foundry Company with publicly available I/B/E/S consensus estimates for companies that shared similar business characteristics and/or offer semiconductor foundry services of the nature to be offered by The Foundry Company. These companies included the following:

•

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.

•

Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.

•

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation

•

United Microelectronics Corporation

For purposes of this analysis, Morgan Stanley analyzed the following statistics of each of these companies for comparison purposes: (i) the ratio of aggregate value (defined as market capitalization plus total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to estimated revenue for calendar years 2009 and 2010, (ii) the ratio of aggregate value to EBITDA for calendar years 2009 and 2010, (iii) the ratio of price to book value, defined as shareholders’ equity, and (iv) the ratio of price to net tangible assets, defined as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and less other intangible assets.

Based on the analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the comparable companies, Morgan Stanley selected representative ranges of financial multiples of the comparable companies and applied these ranges of multiples to the relevant The Foundry Company financial statistic. For purposes of estimated calendar years 2009 and 2010 The Foundry Company estimates, Morgan Stanley utilized AMD management projections. Based on The Foundry Company’s expected capitalization as a result of the Transactions, Morgan Stanley calculated the estimated implied aggregate value of The Foundry Company as of December 3, 2008 as follows:


Calendar Year End Financial Statistic	Comparable Company Representative Multiple Range	Implied Aggregate Value of The Foundry Company ($ Billions)
Aggregate Value to Estimated 2009 Revenue	0.3x – 1.5x	$	0.4 – $2.1
Aggregate Value to Estimated 2010 Revenue	0.2x – 1.2x	$	0.4 – $2.7
Aggregate Value to Estimated 2009 EBITDA	0.7x – 4.5x	$	0.1 – $0.4
Aggregate Value to Estimated 2010 EBITDA	0.6x – 3.0x	$	0.3 – $1.7
Price / Book Value	0.1x – 0.6x	$	1.2 – $2.0
Price / Net Tangible Assets	0.2x – 0.5x	$	1.5 – $2.1

The management of AMD informed Morgan Stanley, and Morgan Stanley noted for purposes of its analysis, that pursuant to the contemplated Transactions, the value of net tangible assets to be contributed by AMD to The Foundry Company was $2.1 billion. Furthermore, the management of AMD informed Morgan Stanley, and Morgan Stanley noted for purposes of its analysis, that pursuant to the contemplated Transactions: (i) the net value of AMD’s initial stake in The Foundry Company (calculated as 56.1% of the ordinary shares of the company on a fully converted basis), plus (ii) the cash to be received by AMD for the sale of approximately 21.9% of its initial stake in The Foundry Company (calculated on a fully converted basis) to ATIC, plus (iii) $1.2 billion in third-party debt of AMD transferred to The Foundry Company, plus (iv) the value of certain intercompany accounts which will be retired, minus (v) the value of the warrants granted to WCH, minus (vi) the theoretical value associated with WCH’s option to receive 58 million newly issued shares of AMD common stock at the lesser of (x) the average of the closing prices per share of AMD common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (y) the average of the closing prices per share of

AMD common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions would be $3.1 billion in the aggregate (the “Foundry Company Consideration”).

No company utilized in the comparable company analysis is identical to The Foundry Company. In evaluating comparable companies, Morgan Stanley made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of The Foundry Company and AMD, such as the impact of competition on the businesses of AMD and The Foundry Company and the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition and prospects of AMD, The Foundry Company or the industry or in the financial markets in general. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the average or median) is not in itself a meaningful method of using peer group data.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

As part of its analysis, and in order to estimate a range of aggregate present values for The Foundry Company, Morgan Stanley performed a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis is designed to provide insight into the value of a company as a function of its future cash flows and terminal value. Morgan Stanley relied on cash flow projections for calendar years 2009 through 2013 for The Foundry Company provided by the management of AMD. Morgan Stanley estimated a range of terminal values calculated in 2013 based on EBITDA exit multiples of 3.5x to 4.5x applied to 2014 EBITDA. “Terminal value” refers to the estimate of the value of all future cash flows from an asset at a particular point in time. Morgan Stanley discounted the unlevered free cash flow streams and the estimated range of terminal values to a present value, as of December 31, 2008, based on (i) a discount rate range of 15% to 25% for the portion of The Foundry Company’s unlevered free cash flow associated with manufacturing AMD microprocessors, (ii) a discount rate range of 25% to 30% for the unlevered free cash flow associated with The Foundry Company’s business focused on third-party semiconductor customers other than AMD, and (iii) a discount rate of 25% for the terminal value. Based on these projections and assumptions, the discounted cash flow analysis of The Foundry Company yielded an implied aggregate valuation range of approximately $1.2 billion to $3.4 billion. Morgan Stanley noted that the value of net tangible assets contributed by AMD was $2.1 billion and the value of the Foundry Company Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement was $3.1 billion.

Analysis of Precedent Transactions

Morgan Stanley performed a precedent transactions analysis, which is designed to imply a range of aggregate values of a company based on publicly available financial terms of selected transactions that share certain characteristics with the planned Transactions, involving companies with some similarities to The Foundry Company. In connection with its analysis, Morgan Stanley compared publicly available statistics for two categories of transactions. The first category consisted of 6 selected semiconductor fabrication plant acquisition transactions occurring between January 1, 2004 and December 3, 2008, in which the target assets were involved in the manufacturing of semiconductor wafers. The following is a list of these transactions:


Selected Semiconductor Fabrication Plant Acquisitions
Target		Acquiror
Fabrication Facilities of Winbond Electronics Corp.		Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation
Gresham, Oregon Fabrication Facilities of LSI Logic Corporation		ON Semiconductor Corporation
Hitachi Semiconductor Singapore Pte Ltd		Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.
Jazz Technologies, Inc.		Acquicor Technology Inc.
Jazz Technologies, Inc.		Tower Semiconductor Ltd.
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.		Datang Telecom Technology & Industry Holdings Co., Ltd.

Morgan Stanley also compared publicly available statistics for 7 selected precedent transactions involving asset intensive semiconductor and technology manufacturing transactions between January 1, 2001 and

December 3, 2008, for which the transaction values were greater than $1 billion. The following is a list of these transactions:


Selected Asset Intensive Semiconductor and Technology Manufacturing Transactions
Target		Acquiror
Agere Systems, Inc.		LSI Logic Corporation
ChipPAC, Inc.		ST Assembly Test Services Ltd.
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.		Investor Group
International Rectifier Corporation		Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
SCI Systems, Inc.		Sanmina Corporation
Siliconix, Inc.		Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Solectron Corporation		Flextronics International Ltd.

For each transaction listed above, Morgan Stanley noted the following financial statistics where available: (i) the ratio of aggregate value of the transaction to next twelve months estimated revenue; (ii) the ratio of aggregate value of the transaction to next twelve months estimated EBITDA; (iii) the ratio of aggregate value to total assets; and (iv) the ratio of price to book value.

Based on the analysis of the relevant metrics for each transaction listed above, Morgan Stanley selected representative ranges of implied financial multiples of the transactions and applied these ranges of financial multiples to the relevant financial statistic for The Foundry Company. For purposes of estimated next twelve month The Foundry Company estimates, Morgan Stanley utilized calendar year 2009 projections provided by AMD management. The following table summarizes Morgan Stanley’s analysis:


Precedent Transactions Financial Statistic	Representative Range	Implied Aggregate Value of The Foundry Company ($ Billions)
Aggregate Value to Estimated Next Twelve Months Revenue	0.9x – 1.6x	$	1.3 – $2.3
Aggregate Value to Estimated Next Twelve Months EBITDA	3.5x – 8.0x	$	0.3 – $0.7
Aggregate Value to Total Assets	0.7x – 1.2x	$	2.6 – $4.4
Price to Book Value	0.9x – 1.5x	$	2.5 – $3.5

Morgan Stanley noted that the value of net tangible assets contributed by AMD was $2.1 billion and the value of the Foundry Company Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement was $3.1 billion.

No company or transaction utilized in the precedent transactions analysis is identical to The Foundry Company or the Transactions. In evaluating the precedent transactions, Morgan Stanley made judgments and assumptions with regard to general business, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of AMD and The Foundry Company, such as the impact of competition on the business of AMD, The Foundry Company or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition of AMD, The Foundry Company or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies and the aggregate value of the transactions to which they are being compared.

Miscellaneous

In connection with the review of the Transactions by AMD’s Transaction Oversight Committee, Morgan Stanley performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Morgan Stanley believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a whole, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Morgan Stanley may have given various

analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Morgan Stanley’s view of the actual value of The Foundry Company. In performing its analyses, Morgan Stanley made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters. Many of these assumptions are beyond the control of AMD or The Foundry Company. Any estimates contained in Morgan Stanley’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates.

Morgan Stanley conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness of the Consideration to be received by AMD pursuant to the Transactions from a financial point of view to AMD and in connection with the delivery of its opinion dated December 5, 2008 to the Transaction Oversight Committee. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which shares of common stock of AMD might actually trade.

The Consideration was determined through arm’s length negotiations between AMD, WCH and ATIC and was approved by the Transaction Oversight Committee. Morgan Stanley provided advice to the Transaction Oversight Committee during these negotiations. Morgan Stanley did not, however, recommend any specific consideration to AMD or the Transaction Oversight Committee or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transactions.

Morgan Stanley’s opinion and its presentation to the Transaction Oversight Committee was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Transaction Oversight Committee in deciding to approve the Transactions and each of the transaction documents and recommend, among other things, that the full board of directors of AMD approve the Transactions and the execution and delivery of the transaction documents to which AMD is a party. Consequently, the analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Transaction Oversight Committee with respect to the Consideration or of whether AMD’s board of directors would have been willing to agree to different consideration.

AMD’s Transaction Oversight Committee retained Morgan Stanley based upon Morgan Stanley’s qualifications, experience and expertise. Morgan Stanley is an internationally recognized investment banking and advisory firm. Morgan Stanley, as part of its investment banking and financial advisory business, is continuously engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate, estate and other purposes. In the ordinary course of Morgan Stanley’s trading, brokerage, investment management and financing activities, Morgan Stanley or its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for its own account or for the accounts of customers in the debt or equity securities or senior loans of AMD or any other parties, commodities or currencies involved in the Transactions. In the past, Morgan Stanley or its affiliates have provided financial advisory and financing services for AMD and funds affiliated with WCH and ATIC and have received fees in connection with such services. Morgan Stanley may also seek to provide such services to AMD, The Foundry Company, WCH and ATIC in the future and may receive fees for the rendering of these services.

Under the terms of its engagement letter, Morgan Stanley provided the Transaction Oversight Committee advisory services and a financial opinion in connection with the Transactions, and AMD has agreed to pay Morgan Stanley a fee for its services which was contingent upon the earliest to occur of the rendering of this financial opinion, the termination of discussions relating to the Transactions, the termination of the Transactions, the closing of the Transactions, or March 31, 2009. The Transaction Oversight Committee has also agreed to reimburse Morgan Stanley for its expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with its services. In addition, AMD has agreed to indemnify Morgan Stanley and any of its affiliates, their respective directors, officers, agents and employees and each person, if any, controlling Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws, relating to or arising out of Morgan Stanley’s engagement.

AMD will also contribute the following assets necessary for The Foundry Company to carry on its business (collectively, the “FoundryCo Assets”):

(1)

all assets to be transferred to The Foundry Company that are not owned or controlled by the Transferred The Foundry Company Subsidiaries, as set forth on Exhibit C to the Master Transaction Agreement and all assets owned or controlled by the Transferred Foundry Company Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Assets (as such term is defined in the Master Transaction Agreement);

Purchase Price

The purchase price paid by ATIC is based upon an assumed value of the assets that AMD is contributing to The Foundry Company equal to the product of (x) 0.85 multiplied by (y) the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets (as hereinafter defined). “Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets” means the combined assets of the Transferred Foundry Company Subsidiaries less the combined liabilities of the Transferred Foundry Company Subsidiaries. ATIC’s ownership percentage in The Foundry Company will be adjusted after the Closing to the extent there is a difference between the statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets delivered in connection with the signing of the Master Transaction Agreement and the statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets delivered after the Closing and to the extent that such difference exceeds a specified amount. Any adjustment will be effected through the issuance of additional, or cancellation of, The Foundry Company convertible notes.

Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; (iv) accrued vacation related to U.S. Transferred Employees (as hereinafter defined) moving over to The Foundry Company; and (v) liabilities of AMD and its subsidiaries that are included in the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets (as such term is defined in the Master Transaction Agreement) and that relate to any amounts payable by The Foundry Company following the Closing for any service by a Transferred Employee with AMD or a subsidiary of AMD through the Closing.

Retained Liabilities

AMD is retaining: (i) any liabilities of AMD or its subsidiaries incurred by AMD or its subsidiaries in connection with the conduct of their business (excluding The Foundry Company operations post-Closing); (ii) any liabilities of AMD or any of the remaining AMD subsidiaries arising out of the operation of their businesses occurring or incurred post-Closing; (iii) any liabilities of AMD or any of the remaining AMD subsidiaries arising under the Master Transaction Agreement or the other transaction documents; (iv) any intercompany payables and any liabilities of AMD or any of the remaining AMD subsidiaries to any of their respective affiliates other than obligations of The Foundry Company and any of the remaining AMD subsidiaries under the Master Transaction Agreement or other transaction documents; (v) any liabilities of AMD or its subsidiaries to the extent related to the assets not being contributed to The Foundry Company; (vi) any liabilities of AMD or its subsidiaries relating to claims pending at Closing, or claims made after Closing that arise out of the conduct or operation of the FoundryCo Assets before Closing; and (vii) any other liabilities otherwise designated as an excluded liability in the Master Transaction Agreement or on any schedule to the Master Transaction Agreement.

not issue any equity securities of any Transferred Foundry Company Subsidiary;

•

not take any action that would constitute a material default under any material contract; and

•

not make or change any material tax election of The Foundry Company.

In addition, AMD agrees to, among other things, to:

•

take all appropriate action to form The Foundry Company;

•

prepare and deliver audited carve-out financial statements of The Foundry Company to ATIC and WCH;

•

provide access to information to ATIC and WCH relating to the FoundryCo Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Transferred Foundry Company Subsidiaries;

AMD agrees to comply with certain post-Closing covenants pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, including to:

•

cause one representative designated by WCH to be appointed and elected to its board of directors, for so long as WCH and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 10% of our outstanding common stock;

•

retain the books and records of AMD relating to the FoundryCo Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, the Transferred Foundry Company Subsidiaries and the Transferred Foundry Company JV Entities and their operations for a period of 10 years following Closing; and

•

cause the Shares and the Warrant Shares to be listed on the NYSE.

No Solicitation by AMD

Between signing the Master Transaction Agreement and the earlier of Closing or termination of the Master Transaction Agreement, AMD has agreed that AMD will not solicit any other proposal or enter into any agreement with a third party relating to an alternative transaction or a change of control of AMD. However, our board of directors may (i) participate in discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications with a third party regarding, and furnish information to, any person that has made, in writing, a bona fide AMD Change of Control Proposal (as defined below) and (ii) enter into an agreement with any third person relating to a change of control of AMD, if our board of directors has: (A) determined, in its good faith judgment that failure to furnish such information or enter into such discussions or such agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to AMD and our stockholders under applicable law; (B) provided written notice to ATIC and WCH of the identity of the person making, and the material terms of any such proposal, and of AMD’s intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such person at least three business days prior to taking any such action; (C) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on customary terms; and (D) promptly provided to ATIC and WCH any non-public information concerning AMD or any of our subsidiaries provided to any such person which was not previously provided to ATIC and WCH. “AMD Change of Control Proposal” means any proposal or offer made by any third person relating to a transaction between the third person and AMD, our stockholders or any of our subsidiaries with respect to (a) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving AMD in which AMD’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction will own less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after such transaction, (b) any purchase of an equity interest (including by means of a tender or exchange offer) representing an amount equal to or greater than a 50% voting or economic interest in AMD, or (c) any purchase of assets, securities or ownership interests representing an amount equal to or greater than 50% of the consolidated assets of AMD and our subsidiaries taken as a whole (including stock of our subsidiaries).

WCH Standstill Respecting AMD

For a period of five years (or sooner, if WCH and its transferees cease to own at least 10% of AMD’s voting securities), WCH, ATIC and their transferees and affiliates will not, without AMD’s consent, seek to acquire more than 22.5% of the voting securities of AMD, or initiate, or induce or attempt to induce any third person to initiate, any extraordinary corporate transaction involving AMD (including a merger, sale of assets, restructuring or liquidation), or to seek to or participate in any attempt to cause a change of control of the management or board of directors of AMD, or take any other similar actions, including a public announcement of any such plans, or advise, assist or encourage any other persons in connection with any of the foregoing.

ATIC and WCH also agree during such period not to request that AMD waive any of the foregoing provisions, although ATIC or WCH may ask AMD whether AMD would wish to entertain a proposal for the acquisition of AMD, but may not make such a proposal absent AMD’s affirmative response to such question. The standstill does not prevent ATIC or WCH from voting any securities at their sole discretion on matters submitted to the stockholders of AMD for a vote, or from voting in favor of, or tendering any AMD securities held by any of them into, any extraordinary transaction involving AMD or a substantial portion of its securities or assets.

WCH Transfer Restrictions on AMD Securities

Until such time WCH and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, WCH and such permitted transferees may only resell shares of our common stock (i) in connection with a bona fide pledge or transfer in connection with a financing transaction secured by a pledge of WCH’s AMD common stock, (ii) by means of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WCH or its permitted transferees may sell or transfer AMD common stock to any other permitted transferee.

Employees

The Foundry Company will extend, or will cause its applicable subsidiaries to extend, offers of employment to certain AMD employees (the “Transferred Employees”) at least 30 days prior to Closing and will hire, or cause its applicable subsidiaries to hire, such Transferred Employees effective as of Closing. The Foundry Company will be responsible for all liabilities, salaries, benefits and similar employer obligations that arise after Closing under The Foundry Company’s compensation and benefit plans and policies for all Transferred Employees.

•

receipt of material consents;

•

receipt of certain government approvals, including Hart Scott Rodino antitrust approval from the United States and merger control clearances from certain foreign regulatory authorities;

that the economic incentives and subsidies currently made available to AMD and its subsidiaries by governmental authorities in the European Union, the Federal Republic of Germany or the State of Saxony and the State of New York remain available to The Foundry Company and its subsidiaries

without financial penalty or change that would be materially adverse to The Foundry Company and its subsidiaries and no governmental authority has notified any party that such governmental authority intends to seek to terminate the availability of such economic incentives and subsidies, and that, with respect to The Foundry Company’s proposed facility in Saratoga County, New York, the economic development agreement between the State of New York and AMD will have been assigned to The Foundry Company, and The Foundry Company will have qualified for the same ongoing New York State tax benefits that have been previously approved for AMD;

•

receipt of notice from CFIUS to the effect that a review or investigation of the Transactions has been concluded and that a determination has been made that there are no unresolved U.S. national security concerns, or the lack of action by the President of the United States to block or prevent the consummation of the Transactions under Exon-Florio, with the applicable time period for the President to take such action having expired;

•

the receipt by ATIC of certain legal opinions by counsel to AMD;

•

the continuing effectiveness of AMD’s Participation Agreement with IBM;

Indemnification

The representations and warranties of AMD generally survive until the two-year anniversary of the Closing. AMD agrees to indemnify ATIC and The Foundry Company for, among other things, (i) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, (ii) any third-party claim arising out of any AMD action, condition or obligation occurring or existing prior to Closing, (iii) claims arising out of AMD’s Patent Cross-License Agreement with Intel Corporation, dated as of May 4, 2001 (as may be amended, the “Intel Patent Cross License Agreement”), and the Agreement between Intel Corporation and AMD dated October 1, 1976, as amended or supplemented to date, (iv) environmental claims relating to hazardous materials on the real property located in the towns of Malta and Stillwater, New York (commonly known as the Luther Forest Technology Campus) that is subject to an option agreement dated October 12, 2007 between AMD and the Luther Forest Technology Campus Economic Development Corporation, (v) environmental claims relating to hazardous materials on the Malta Rocket Fuel Area, a portion of the Luther Forest Technology Campus designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a “Superfund” site, (vi) any amounts payable by The Foundry Company under guarantees related to indebtedness of certain transferred joint venture entities, (vii) any amounts payable by The Foundry Company or any of its subsidiaries following the Closing for the repayment of investment grants and subsidies received by AMD or any of its subsidiaries prior to the Closing if such repayment obligations relate to (A) a failure by AMD or any of its subsidiaries to make, prior to the Closing, capital expenditures required by such investment grants or subsidies or (B) a failure by AMD or any of its subsidiaries to maintain required fixed asset levels at or prior to the Closing and (viii) any retained liabilities. AMD’s liability for breaches of representations and warranties is capped at $700 million and AMD will have no such liability in the event that the aggregate amount of indemnifiable ATIC/The Foundry Company losses is less than $21 million. The Foundry Company agrees to indemnify AMD and ATIC for any breach of a covenant or agreement by The Foundry Company, for any assumed liabilities and for the operation of The Foundry Company and its assets following Closing.

Termination/Break-up Fee

The Master Transaction Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing:

•

by either ATIC or WCH in the event that a material adverse effect on AMD or The Foundry Company occurs, AMD has breached a representation or warranty of AMD in a manner that is likely to cause a material adverse effect on AMD or The Foundry Company, AMD has not complied with the covenants contained in the Master Transaction Agreement in such a way that it results in a material adverse effect on AMD or The Foundry Company or AMD is involved in a liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

•

by any of AMD, ATIC or WCH if Closing has not occurred by March 7, 2009;

•

by any of AMD, ATIC or WCH in the event that any governmental authority has issued a final and nonappealable order to restrain, enjoin or render illegal the Transactions;

•

by ATIC or WCH upon a change of control of AMD;

•

by ATIC or WCH if representatives of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and/or any other lead agency designated by CFIUS for the Transactions (at least one of whom serves at the rank of Deputy Assistant Secretary or higher), acting on behalf of CFIUS, inform the parties either that CFIUS will refer the transaction to the President of the United States for decision, or that the CFIUS clearance would be conditioned upon certain mitigation agreements with CFIUS containing terms that are inconsistent with the provisions of the Master Transaction Agreement; or

•

by the mutual written consent of AMD, ATIC and WCH.

If the Master Transaction Agreement is terminated by reason of a change of control event of AMD or if a change of control of AMD occurs within 12 months of termination for other specified reasons, AMD will pay to WCH a fee of $50 million. If the Master Transaction Agreement is terminated because of a material breach by AMD of its non-solicitation covenant, then AMD will pay WCH $50 million plus WCH’s and ATIC’s respective expenses.

The foregoing description of the Master Transaction Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Master Transaction Agreement and the Amendment to Master Transaction Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit F, respectively.

THE SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

The rights and obligations of AMD and ATIC, as shareholders of The Foundry Company (each, a “Foundry Company Shareholder”), are set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement.

Board of Directors

The Foundry Company board of directors (the “The Foundry Company Board”) will consist of eight directors, and, because AMD and ATIC each own 50% of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors and pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, AMD and ATIC will each be entitled to designate for nomination four directors. The 50/50 ownership of the voting shares and rights of each of AMD and ATIC to designate four directors will not change until the occurrence of the Reconciliation Event.

“Reconciliation Event” means the earlier of (i) such time when AMD has secured for The Foundry Company the right to make unlimited volumes of products, including microprocessors, for AMD and its subsidiaries, regardless of whether The Foundry Company is a “Subsidiary” or “Affiliate” of AMD for purposes of the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement, or (ii) such time when The Foundry Company Board determines that The Foundry Company no longer needs to be a “Subsidiary” of AMD as defined in Section 1.22 of the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision of the Shareholders’ Agreement or any other document related to the Transactions, prior to the Reconciliation Event, The Foundry Company will in no event be under any obligation (contractually or otherwise) to directly or indirectly distribute more than 70% of its profits to any person or entity.

Only after a Reconciliation Event, the number of directors a Foundry Company Shareholder may designate will be adjusted as follows: (i) a Foundry Company Shareholder holding 30% or more but less than 40% of the fully diluted shares will be entitled to designate three directors; (ii) a Foundry Company Shareholder holding 20% or more but less than 30% of the fully diluted shares will be entitled to designate two directors; (iii) a Foundry Company Shareholder holding 10% or more but less than 20% of the fully diluted shares will be entitled to designate one director; and (iv) a Foundry Company Shareholder holding less than 10% of the fully diluted shares will have no right to designate any directors. To the extent the number of directors a Foundry Company Shareholder is entitled to nominate is reduced as a result of a decrease in such Foundry Company Shareholder’s ownership of The Foundry Company, then, so long as the other Foundry Company Shareholder owns at least a majority of the fully diluted shares of The Foundry Company, such other Foundry Company Shareholder will be entitled to designate all of the remaining directors.

Officers

The initial Chief Executive Officer of The Foundry Company will be Douglas Grose, and ATIC will designate the initial Chief Financial Officer. The other officers of The Foundry Company will be appointed by a committee of The Foundry Company Board. Hector de J. Ruiz will be Chairman of The Foundry Company Board, which is a non-director and non-voting position.

Voting

The share capital of The Foundry Company at the Closing will consist of (i) Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), of which two shares will be outstanding (one issued to each of AMD and ATIC); (ii) Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”); (iii) Class A Preferred Shares (the “Class A Preferred Shares”) and (iv) Class B Preferred Shares (the “Class B Preferred Shares”). Prior to the Reconciliation Event, the Class A Preferred Shares, the Class B Preferred Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares will be non-voting and only the Class A Ordinary Shares will have voting rights of one vote per Class A Ordinary Share. Following the Reconciliation Event, the Class A Ordinary Shares will be automatically redeemed and the voting rights of the Class A Preferred Shares, the Class B Preferred Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares will be given effect.

Certain Corporate Actions

The Foundry Company will not take certain actions unless all of the members of The Foundry Company Board approve such actions, which include, but are not limited to:

•

implementing material changes in the purpose or scope of The Foundry Company’s activities or engaging in any material activity unrelated to The Foundry Company’s business that materially adversely affects The Foundry Company’s ability to perform its obligations to AMD under the Wafer Supply Agreement;

•

changing the number of directors on The Foundry Company Board;

•

amending The Foundry Company’s charter or bylaws;

•

entering into certain change of control transactions or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of The Foundry Company and its subsidiaries, other than to The Foundry Company or any of its subsidiaries or, following termination of the earliest of (i) the date that is 10 years after Closing, (ii) such time as the Abu Dhabi cluster is meeting certain wafer production volume requirements or (iii) the termination of the Transition Period (as such term is defined in the Funding Agreement) under the Funding Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), to a permitted transferee; provided, however, that any such transaction with a permitted transferee is on terms that are fair from a financial point of view to all Foundry Company Shareholders;

•

entering into certain acquisitions, joint ventures, transfers, sales or disposals of any assets with a value in excess of $25 million singly or $50 million in the aggregate, other than with The Foundry Company or any of its subsidiaries or, following termination of the Restricted Period, with a permitted transferee; provided, however, that any such transaction with a permitted transferee is on terms that are fair from a financial point of view to all Foundry Company Shareholders;

•

approving any material amendment, modification or revision to The Foundry Company’s initial five-year capital plan;

•

approving any annual business plan or any material amendment, modification or revision of any annual business plan;

•

issuing, repurchasing or redeeming any of The Foundry Company shares or other equity interest not reflected in the annual business plan, its Articles of Association or any incentive plan;

•

declaring dividends or other distributions to Foundry Company Shareholders;

•

entering into or amending the documents related to the Transactions, any incentive plan or any other Foundry Company contract worth more than $15 million;

•

selling, licensing, assigning, transferring or engaging in certain other activities with respect to The Foundry Company’s intellectual property;

•

prosecuting, commencing or settling litigation in excess of $10 million;

•

making any loan, investment or expenditure (or series of related expenditures) not reflected in the annual business plan involving more than $5 million singly or $10 million in the aggregate;

•

incurring certain indebtedness or subjecting any of The Foundry Company’s properties or assets to certain liens, claims or encumbrances which would result in an increase of 5% or more of the total indebtedness contemplated in the annual business plan;

•

consummating any public offering of securities;

•

appointing or terminating The Foundry Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer;

•

determining when the Reconciliation Event has occurred; and

•

entering into any related party transactions involving more than $25 million.

In addition, the Shareholders’ Agreement provides that if any Foundry Company Shareholder (and its permitted transferees) owns at least 75% of the fully diluted shares of The Foundry Company, then such Foundry Company Shareholder will be entitled to resolve any deadlock of The Foundry Company Board with respect to certain actions, and if any Foundry Company Shareholder (and its permitted transferees) owns at least 90% of the fully diluted shares of The Foundry Company, then such Foundry Company Shareholder will be entitled to resolve any deadlock with respect to certain additional actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Foundry Company Shareholder will never be entitled to break a Foundry Company Board deadlock with respect to:

•

changing the number of directors on The Foundry Company Board; or

•

determining when the Reconciliation Event has occurred.

In addition, prior to the Reconciliation Event, a Foundry Company Shareholder will also not be entitled to break a Foundry Company Board deadlock with respect to:

•

amending The Foundry Company’s charter or bylaws;

•

issuing, repurchasing or redeeming any of The Foundry Company shares or other equity interest not reflected in the annual business plan, its Articles of Association or any incentive plan; or

•

declaring dividends or other distributions to Foundry Company Shareholders,

if, in each such case, such action would cause The Foundry Company to fail to constitute a “Subsidiary” of AMD under the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement.

Transfer Restrictions

Class A Ordinary Shares. Each of AMD and ATIC will own one Class A Ordinary Share. Class A Ordinary Shares are the only voting securities of The Foundry Company prior to the Reconciliation Event. The Foundry Company Class A Ordinary Shares are non-transferable.

Other Foundry Company Securities. With respect to the other securities of The Foundry Company (Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, the Class B Ordinary Shares and the Convertible Notes), no Foundry Company Shareholder may sell any of such Foundry Company securities, without the consent of the other Foundry Company Shareholder, if (i) prior to the Reconciliation Event, the sale of such securities would cause The Foundry Company to fail to constitute a “Subsidiary” of AMD under the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement, (ii) such sale is made to Intel or any of its affiliates or (iii) such sale is made to a competitor of The Foundry Company.

In addition, each Foundry Company Shareholder agrees not to sell, transfer or encumber any such Foundry Company securities prior to the Restricted Period.

The following transfers of such securities of The Foundry Company are exempt from the above transfer restrictions: (a) transfers with the prior written consent of the other Foundry Company Shareholder; (b) a transfer to a permitted transferee or to the other Foundry Company Shareholder; (c) the sale of up to 25% of a Foundry Company Shareholder’s fully diluted shares in an initial public offering of The Foundry Company (“IPO”); and (d) in each year following the IPO, the sale of up to 25% of a Foundry Company Shareholder’s fully diluted shares through a public offering or Rule 144 under the Securities Act. However, AMD’s rights to sell such securities of The Foundry Company as set forth in (c) and (d) above will be suspended until the Reconciliation Event has occurred.

Right of First Offer/Right of Last Look

Following the end of the Restricted Period, a Foundry Company Shareholder who wishes to sell securities of The Foundry Company to a third party must notify The Foundry Company and the other Foundry Company

Shareholder of the offer, and the non-selling Foundry Company Shareholder will have 30 days to purchase the offered securities. In addition, a Foundry Company Shareholder cannot consummate a sale of securities of The Foundry Company to a third party without offering such securities for sale to the other Foundry Company Shareholder at least 10 business days prior to the contemplated consummation of the sale of such securities to the third party.

Tag-Along Rights

Following the end of the Restricted Period, no Foundry Company Shareholder may sell more than 10% of its fully diluted securities of The Foundry Company unless the other Foundry Company Shareholder is offered the right and option to sell the same percentage of securities held by it. This right terminates upon an IPO.

Drag-Along Rights

Following the end of the Restricted Period, if a Foundry Company Shareholder holding at least 75% of the fully diluted shares of The Foundry Company proposes to sell all of its securities of The Foundry Company to a third party, such Foundry Company Shareholder will have the right to require the other Foundry Company Shareholder to sell all of its securities of The Foundry Company to the third party for the same consideration and on the same terms. This right terminates upon an IPO.

AMD Change of Control

In the event of a change of control of AMD without ATIC’s prior written consent: (i) all transfer restrictions with respect to securities of The Foundry Company held by ATIC and its permitted transferees will terminate; (ii) if such change of control occurs prior to the IPO, ATIC will have the right to require The Foundry Company to consummate the IPO and to register ATIC’s securities of The Foundry Company in connection with such IPO; (iii) (A) ATIC will have a put right to sell all of its securities of The Foundry Company to AMD if the change of control occurs within 24 months of the Closing or (B) if the change of control occurs after the Reconciliation Event, ATIC will have the option to purchase all of the securities of The Foundry Company held by AMD and its permitted transferees, in each case at fair market value; (iv) until the end of 2013, as long as ATIC owns any securities of The Foundry Company, ATIC has the right to require AMD or any counterparty to an AMD change of control transaction to assume a portion of ATIC’s funding commitment under the Funding Agreement based on the percentage of fully diluted shares held by AMD on each “Funding Date” (as such term is defined in the Funding Agreement); and (v) as long as ATIC owns any securities of The Foundry Company, ATIC has the right to require any counterparty to an AMD change of control transaction to guarantee all of AMD’s obligations under the documents related to the Transactions.

Rights to Purchase New Shares

The Foundry Company must offer each Foundry Company Shareholder the right to purchase its pro rata share of any securities of The Foundry Company in the event The Foundry Company proposes to issue new shares to a third party. This right terminates upon an IPO.

Termination

The Shareholders’ Agreement may be terminated (i) upon dissolution of The Foundry Company, (ii) by the written agreement of all parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement, (iii) at the election of a Foundry Company Shareholder upon certain events of bankruptcy of the other Foundry Company Shareholder or (iv) with respect to any Foundry Company Shareholder, at such time a Foundry Company Shareholder ceases to own any securities of The Foundry Company.

The foregoing description of the Shareholders’ Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Shareholders’ Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B.

THE FUNDING AGREEMENT

The Funding Agreement provides for the further funding of The Foundry Company. Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, ATIC has committed to additional equity funding of a minimum of $3.6 billion and up to $6.0 billion over the five years after the Closing.

Annual Business Plan

The Foundry Company management team must present its annual business plan (the “Annual Business Plan”) to The Foundry Company Board for approval on or prior to mid-November of each fiscal year, which date will be prior to the end of the seventh fiscal week of the fourth fiscal quarter of The Foundry Company. The Annual Business Plan must include estimates of the sources and uses of funds necessary to conduct The Foundry Company’s business by fiscal quarter as well as estimated third-party debt financing. In the event The Foundry Company Board does not approve the Annual Business Plan within a certain time frame, the Funding Agreement sets forth procedures by which a resolution to any deadlock may be obtained, and the conditions under which ATIC may continue its funding commitments despite the deadlock.

Cash Reserve

The Foundry Company must maintain a cash reserve amount equal to at least $1 billion at all times during the term of the Funding Agreement, provided, however, that this requirement shall no longer apply upon the earlier of (i) The Foundry Company entering into a Transition Period (as defined below) or (ii) the end of Phase II (as defined below).

Funding

At each equity funding, the equity securities to be issued by The Foundry Company will consist of 20% of Class A Preferred Shares and 80% of Class B Preferred Shares. See “Description of The Foundry Company Share Capital” elsewhere in this proxy statement. Under certain circumstances, The Foundry Company will issue convertible notes to ATIC in lieu of Class A and Class B Preferred Shares. See “Description of Foundry Company Convertible Subordinated Notes” elsewhere in this proxy statement. The aggregate amount of equity funding to be provided by the Foundry Company Shareholders in any fiscal year depends on the time period of such funding (Phase I, II or III) and the amounts set forth in the five-year capital plan of The Foundry Company. The Phases are defined as follows:

•

Phase I: the period commencing on the date of the Funding Agreement and ending on the last day of the fiscal year ending in 2010.

•

Phase II: the period commencing the first day of the fiscal year ending in 2011 and ending the last day of the fiscal year ending in 2013.

•

Phase III: the period commencing the first day of the fiscal year ending in 2014 and ending on the date the Funding Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof.

The Foundry Company is required to obtain specified third-party debt in any given fiscal year, as set forth in the five-year capital plan. To the extent that The Foundry Company obtains more than the specified amount of third-party debt, ATIC may reduce its funding commitment accordingly. To the extent that The Foundry Company is not able to obtain the full amount of third-party debt, ATIC is not obligated to make up the difference.

AMD will have the right, but not the obligation, to provide additional capital funding to The Foundry Company in response to future capital calls on a pro rata basis with ATIC. To the extent that AMD chooses not to participate in an equity funding, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions to funding, ATIC is obligated to purchase all of the securities of The Foundry Company in such equity funding that AMD was entitled to purchase.

Conditions to Funding

ATIC’s obligation to provide funding is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things, the accuracy, in all material respects, of The Foundry Company’s representations and warranties in the Funding Agreement, the absence of a material adverse effect of The Foundry Company, the absence of a material adverse effect on AMD that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect AMD’s performance of its obligations under the Wafer Supply Agreement, and the absence of a material breach or default by The Foundry Company or AMD under the provisions of any document related to the Transactions (the “General Funding Conditions”).

With respect to Phase I, ATIC’s obligation to provide funding is subject to certain additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) the continuing effectiveness of AMD’s IBM Participation Agreement; (ii) the availability of New York and Dresden subsidies in amounts not materially different than contemplated in the five-year capital plan; and (iii) if the Reconciliation Event has not occurred, AMD’s continuing compliance with its covenants under the Shareholders’ Agreement with respect to the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement (the “Phase I Funding Conditions”).

With respect to Phase II, in addition to the conditions for Phase I, ATIC’s obligation to provide funding is subject to certain additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) AMD will have secured for The Foundry Company “AMD-specific Have Made” rights (defined as the right of AMD to have unlimited volumes of products, including microprocessors, made for AMD and its subsidiaries by The Foundry Company); (ii) The Foundry Company will have achieved targets for cumulative revenue and cumulative gross margin; and (iii) The Foundry Company will have achieved certain strategic milestones relating to the groundbreaking and build out of the Abu Dhabi fab and to AMD technology and the timing of the receipt by The Foundry Company of third party customer interest and revenue (the “Phase II Funding Conditions”).

With respect to Phase III, in addition to the conditions for Phase I, ATIC’s obligation to provide funding is subject to the approval of the Annual Business Plan for the applicable fiscal year.

Annual Business Plan Deadlock Resolution

In the event the Foundry Company Shareholders have not approved the proposed Annual Business Plan on or prior to December 23rd of the fiscal year in which the proposed Annual Business Plan was submitted to The Foundry Company Board (a “Business Plan Deadlock”), the following resolution procedures will apply:

Phase I Business Plan Deadlock. In the event of a Business Plan Deadlock as a result of not being able to approve the Annual Business Plan for the fiscal year ending in 2010, ATIC will be obligated to, and AMD may if it elects to, continue to fund at the original funding level set forth in the five-year capital plan (the “Original Funding Level”), through the end of Phase I, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the General Funding Conditions and the Phase I Funding Conditions. If at the end of such fiscal year, the Annual Business Plan for the fiscal year ending in 2011 is approved in accordance with the Funding Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, then funding will be at the Original Funding Level, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the General Funding Conditions and the Phase I Funding Conditions. If at the end of such fiscal year, the Annual Business Plan for the Fiscal Year ending in 2011 is not so approved, then the provisions for Phase II Business Plan Deadlock will apply.

Phase II Business Plan Deadlock. In the event of a Business Plan Deadlock with respect to any fiscal year of Phase II, ATIC will continue to provide funding in an amount at least equal to an amount which is intended to be sufficient to both (i) continue to meet AMD’s volume requirements as set forth in the Wafer Supply Agreement and (ii) continue to build out both Fab 38 in Dresden and Fab 4x in New York to the capacities required to ensure continued availability of 100% of the Dresden and New York subsidies (such amount not to exceed $3.582 billion) (the “Minimum Funding Level”) and up to the Original Funding Level, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the General Funding Conditions and the Phase II Funding Conditions, until either

(A) approval of the Annual Business Plan, in which case ATIC’s funding commitment will revert to the Original Funding Level, subject to satisfaction or waiver of General Funding Conditions and the Phase II Funding Conditions, or (B) ATIC notifies The Foundry Company that it has elected to have The Foundry Company enter into the transition period, which is the period beginning on the date of ATIC’s election to have The Foundry Company enter into the transition period and ending on the later of (x) 12 months after such date and (y) the last day of fiscal year ending in 2013 (the “Transition Period”), in which case the Transition Period Business Plan Deadlock provisions (as set forth below) will become effective immediately upon such notice. In the event ATIC does not elect to have The Foundry Company enter into the Transition Period, ATIC will provide The Foundry Company with notice of the amount of funding ATIC is committing to fund for the following fiscal quarter, The Foundry Company will include such amount in any funding notice delivered with respect to such following fiscal quarter, and the general funding procedures set forth in the Funding Agreement will otherwise continue to apply.

Phase III Business Plan Deadlock. In the event of a Business Plan Deadlock with respect to any fiscal year of Phase III, ATIC will continue to provide funding in an amount at least equal to an amount sufficient to meet AMD’s MPU volume requirements for such period (the “Transition Funding Level”) and up to an amount equal to an amount sufficient to meet AMD’s MPU volume requirements for such fiscal year as set forth in the Wafer Supply Agreement, including additional funding up to, at ATIC’s election (i) the level of funding as set forth in the most recently approved Annual Business Plan or (ii) the level of funding sufficient to continue to build out the next fabs after Fab 4x, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the General Funding Conditions and the Phase III Funding Conditions (other than the approval of the Annual Business Plan), until either (A) approval of the Annual Business Plan, in which case ATIC’s funding commitment will revert to the level set forth in such approved Annual Business Plan, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the General Funding Conditions and the Phase III Funding Conditions, or (B) ATIC notifies The Foundry Company that it has elected to have The Foundry Company enter into the Transition Period, in which case the Transition Period Business Plan Deadlock provisions (as set forth below) will become effective immediately upon such notice.

Transition Period Business Plan Deadlock. If ATIC elects to have The Foundry Company enter into the Transition Period: (i) prior to any request for equity funding from the Foundry Company Shareholders, The Foundry Company’s management must first comply with the provisions relating to third-party debt financing set forth in the Funding Agreement; (ii) general funding procedures set forth in the Funding Agreement continue to apply; (iii) ATIC will only be obligated to provide funding through the Transition Period at the Minimum Funding Level in the case of a Transition Period during Phase II and at the Transition Funding Level in the case of a Transition Period during Phase III, in each case subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the General Funding Conditions and the Phase I Funding Conditions on or prior to any funding date; (iv) the Foundry Company Shareholders will jointly pursue, in good faith, transition options during the Transition Period, including without limitation, winding-down, selling or liquidating The Foundry Company; and (v) upon termination of the Transition Period, ATIC will have the option to purchase in cash any or all securities of The Foundry Company held by AMD and its permitted transferees at a price equal to their fair market value.

Termination

The Funding Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) a written agreement by the parties and (ii) the termination of the Transition Period.

The foregoing description of the Funding Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Funding Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit C.

THE WAFER SUPPLY AGREEMENT

AMD will purchase products manufactured by The Foundry Company pursuant to the terms of the Wafer Supply Agreement.

AMD Purchase Commitments

MPU Products. AMD will purchase all of its and its subsidiaries’ microprocessor unit (“MPU”) products from The Foundry Company sales subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if AMD acquires a third-party business that manufactures MPU products, AMD will have up to two years to transition the manufacture of such MPU products to The Foundry Company. Additionally, AMD and its subsidiaries may use another foundry company as a second source for certain of its quarterly MPU product wafer requirements, and may source additional amounts from such foundry company to the extent The Foundry Company is unable to deliver products to AMD sufficient to meet AMD’s material customer commitments. AMD’s ability to source MPU requirements with such foundry company terminates: (i) upon the occurrence of a specified event; or (ii) subject to a wind-down period, if such foundry company undergoes a change of control resulting in another entity controlling a majority of such company’s assets or equity interests related to the manufacture of products on behalf of AMD.

GPU Products. Once The Foundry Company establishes a 32 nm qualified process, AMD will purchase from The Foundry Company sales entities, where competitive, specified percentages of its and its subsidiaries’ graphics processor unit (“GPU”) requirements, which percentage will increase linearly over a five-year period. AMD agrees not to sell, transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of its or its subsidiaries’ assets related to GPU products and related technology to any third party without The Foundry Company’s consent, unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Wafer Supply Agreement, including its minimum purchase obligations, where competitive, with respect to GPU products.

The Foundry Company Capacity Commitment

After reviewing forecasts provided by AMD, as agreed by the parties, The Foundry Company will allocate such additional capacity sufficient to produce the MPU product volumes set forth in rolling, binding forecasts. The parties will establish capacity requirements in advance for GPU products. The Foundry Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to fill any capacity allocated to but unutilized by AMD with production for third parties so as to offset and reduce AMD’s fixed cost reimbursement obligations to The Foundry Company; provided that such efforts will not be required if there exists any unutilized capacity that has not been allocated to AMD.

Management

A partnership committee comprised of an equal number of members appointed by each party will manage the relationship. Unresolved disputes will be escalated to executive officers of each party for resolution.

Sort Services

At AMD’s request, The Foundry Company will provide sort services to AMD on a product by product basis. Sort equipment for MPU products will be assigned to The Foundry Company on the effective date; in the event any sort equipment is no longer usable to provide sort services to AMD or The Foundry Company’s other customers, The Foundry Company will dispose of such equipment and the parties will determine the amount reimbursable to The Foundry Company or AMD. Additional AMD equipment may be consigned, and AMD will bear all the maintenance and operational costs for such equipment.

Pricing

The price for MPU products is related to a certain percentage of The Foundry Company’s MPU-specific total cost of goods sold. The price for GPU products will be determined on a product-by-product basis by the parties. AMD will also be responsible for certain other cost reimbursements to The Foundry Company.

Indemnification

The Foundry Company provides AMD and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns with an intellectual property infringement indemnity covering The Foundry Company’s method of manufacturing the products, except for the methods specifically transferred to The Foundry Company on the effective date. AMD provides The Foundry Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns with an intellectual property infringement indemnity covering The Foundry Company’s manufacture of wafers for AMD in compliance with any AMD product designs or specifications, use of AMD’s equipment, materials, methods and technologies as used by AMD immediately prior to the effective date, and use of property furnished by AMD in accordance with applicable standards and instructions.

Intellectual Property

AMD grants The Foundry Company and applicable The Foundry Company subsidiaries and any permitted assignees a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free right and license to: (i) make products and import and sell such products to AMD; and (ii) reproduce any documentation provided by AMD to enable The Foundry Company to manufacture such products for AMD.

Term; Termination

The Wafer Supply Agreement will be in effect no longer than 15 years after the Closing. The Wafer Supply Agreement may be terminated at any time upon mutual written consent and may expire earlier upon the occurrence of certain events. The Wafer Supply Agreement may also be terminated if and when a business plan deadlock exists and ATIC elects to enter into a transition period pursuant to the Funding Agreement. The Foundry Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist AMD to transition the supply of products to another provider, and continue to fulfill purchase orders for up to two years following the termination or expiration of the Wafer Supply Agreement. During such transition period, pricing for MPU products will remain as set forth in the Wafer Supply Agreement, but AMD’s purchase commitments to The Foundry Company will no longer apply.

The foregoing description of the Wafer Supply Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Wafer Supply Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit D.

AGREEMENTS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

In connection with the Transactions, AMD and The Foundry Company will also enter into intellectual property related arrangements.

Patent Cross License Agreement

Pursuant to a Patent Cross License Agreement (the “Patent Cross License Agreement”), AMD and The Foundry Company will each grant to the other a non-exclusive license under patents which were filed by a party (or are otherwise acquired by a party) within a certain number of years following the effective date of the Patent Cross License Agreement. AMD and The Foundry Company are also entering into arrangements under which all issued patents and pending patent applications of AMD and its subsidiaries (other than patents and applications owned by ATI Technologies LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries) will be divided between AMD and The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company will take ownership of its allocation of patents and applications subject to pre-existing rights, licenses or immunities granted to third parties relating to such patents and applications. The patents and patent applications owned by each party after the division will be licensed to the other party pursuant to the Patent Cross License Agreement.

Non-Patent Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Agreement

Pursuant to a Non-Patent Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Agreement, AMD will assign to The Foundry Company all of its right, title and interest in technology and non-patent intellectual property rights used exclusively in the manufacture, sorting and/or intermediate (WIP) testing of semiconductor products. Technology and non-patent intellectual property rights used exclusively in the design and/or post-delivery testing of semiconductor products will be retained by AMD. Technology and non-patent intellectual property rights used both in the manufacture, sorting and/or intermediate (WIP) testing of semiconductor products and in the design and/or post-delivery testing of semiconductor products will be jointly owned by AMD and The Foundry Company.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FOUNDRY COMPANY CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

At Closing, in consideration for ATIC’s cash contribution to The Foundry Company, The Foundry Company will issue convertible subordinated notes convertible into Class A Preferred Shares (the “Class A Convertible Notes”) and Class B Preferred Shares (the “Class B Convertible Notes”) to ATIC. In addition, prior to the Reconciliation Event, to the extent that the issuance of any securities to ATIC in connection with an equity funding of The Foundry Company would cause The Foundry Company to fail to constitute a “Subsidiary” of AMD, as such term is defined in the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement, The Foundry Company will instead issue to ATIC (i) additional Class A Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Class A Preferred Shares that would have been issued to ATIC but for such provision, and (ii) additional Class B Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Class B Preferred Shares that would have been issued to ATIC but for such provision. The principal terms of the Class A Convertible Notes and the Class B Convertible Notes are set forth below.

Class A Convertible Notes

Interest. The Class A Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4% per annum, compounded semiannually, and payable semiannually in additional Class A Convertible Notes.

Maturity. The Class A Convertible Notes mature upon the later of (i) 10 years from the date of issuance or (ii) the date of the Reconciliation Event.

Security. The Class A Convertible Notes are the unsecured obligations of The Foundry Company.

Ranking. The Class A Convertible Notes will constitute a subordinated obligation of The Foundry Company and will rank subordinated in right of payment to any current or future senior indebtedness of The Foundry Company.

Redemption. The Class A Convertible Notes are not redeemable by The Foundry Company without the noteholder’s consent.

Conversion. The Class A Convertible Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, in multiples of $1,000, into The Foundry Company Class A Preferred Shares at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date , at the Conversion Ratio (as defined below) in effect on the date of conversion, if (i) such conversion would not cause The Foundry Company to fail to constitute a “Subsidiary” of AMD under the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement or (ii) the Reconciliation Event has occurred.

On or after the Reconciliation Event, the Class A Convertible Notes will automatically convert into Class A Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company upon the earlier of (i) a Foundry Company IPO, (ii) certain change of control transactions of The Foundry Company or (iii) the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The “Conversion Ratio” for each $1,000 principal amount of Class A Convertible Notes will be a number obtained by dividing (1) $1,000 by (2) the applicable Class A Convertible Notes Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Class A Convertible Notes Conversion Price” will initially be the per share price of the Class A Preferred Shares at the time the Class A Convertible Note was issued, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Foundry Company will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional shares upon conversion.

Events of Default. The following constitute an event of default under the Class A Convertible Notes:

•

any default in the payment of principal or interest on the Class A Convertible Notes;

•

any default in the delivery of Class A Preferred Shares upon the conversion of any Class A Convertible Notes, which default has not been cured within 10 days;

•

the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of The Foundry Company; or

•

certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Convertible Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will become immediately due and payable at the request of the holder.

Class B Convertible Notes

Interest. The Class B Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 11% per annum, compounded semiannually, and payable semiannually in additional Class B Convertible Notes.

Maturity. The Class B Convertible Notes mature upon the later of (i) 10 years from the date of issuance or (ii) the date of the Reconciliation Event.

Security. The Class B Convertible Notes are the unsecured obligations of The Foundry Company.

Ranking. The Class B Convertible Notes will constitute a subordinated obligation of The Foundry Company and will rank subordinated in right of payment to any current or future senior indebtedness of The Foundry Company.

Redemption. The Class B Convertible Notes are not redeemable by The Foundry Company without the noteholder’s consent.

Conversion. The Class B Convertible Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, in multiples of $1,000, into The Foundry Company Class B Preferred Shares at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, at the Conversion Ratio (as defined below) in effect on the date of conversion, if (i) such conversion would not cause The Foundry Company to fail to constitute a “Subsidiary” of AMD under the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement or (ii) the Reconciliation Event has occurred.

On or after the Reconciliation Event, the Class B Convertible Notes will automatically convert into The Foundry Company Class B Preferred Shares upon the earlier of (i) a Foundry Company IPO, (ii) certain change of control transactions of The Foundry Company or (iii) the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The “Conversion Ratio” for each $1,000 principal amount of Class B Convertible Notes will be a number obtained by dividing (1) $1,000 by (2) the applicable Class B Convertible Notes Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Class B Convertible Notes Conversion Price” will initially be the per share price of the Class B Preferred Shares at the time the Class B Convertible Note was issued, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Foundry Company will deliver cash in lieu of any fractional shares upon conversion.

Events of Default. The following constitute an event of default under the Class B Convertible Notes:

•

any default in the payment of principal or interest on the Class B Convertible Notes;

•

any default in the delivery of Class B Preferred Shares upon the conversion of any Class B Convertible Notes, which default has not been cured within 10 days;

•

the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of The Foundry Company; or

•

certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the outstanding principal amount of the Class B Convertible Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will become immediately due and payable at the request of the holder.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FOUNDRY COMPANY SHARE CAPITAL

Class A Ordinary Shares

The Foundry Company will issue two Class A Ordinary Shares, one to each of AMD and ATIC. The Class A Ordinary Shares will carry one vote each and will be the only voting securities of The Foundry Company prior to the Reconciliation Event. Following the Reconciliation Event, the Class A Ordinary Shares will be redeemed by The Foundry Company. The Class A Ordinary Shares are non-transferable.

Class B Ordinary Shares

The Foundry Company will issue Class B Ordinary Shares at the Closing. The Class B Ordinary Shares will be non-voting until the Reconciliation Event. Following the Reconciliation Event, each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per Class B Ordinary Share.

Class A Preferred Shares

The Class A Preferred Shares to be issued by The Foundry Company in connection with any equity funding under the Funding Agreement will have the following principal terms:

Ranking. The Class A Preferred Shares will rank senior in right of payment to the Ordinary Shares of The Foundry Company and junior in right of payment to the Class B Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company for purposes of dividends, distributions and upon a Liquidation Event (as defined below).

Accretion. The Class A Preferred Shares will not be entitled to any dividend or pre-determined accretion in value.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of The Foundry Company (a “Liquidation Event”), each Class A Preferred Share will be entitled to receive, after the distribution to the holders of the Class B Preferred Shares but prior to any distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares, out of the remaining assets of The Foundry Company, if any, an amount equal to the initial purchase price per share of the Class A Preferred Shares. Upon completion of the above distributions to the holders of Preferred Shares, all of the remaining assets of The Foundry Company, if any, will be distributed pro rata among the holders of Ordinary Shares.

Conversion. Each Class A Preferred Share will be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into Class B Ordinary Shares at the then applicable Class A Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined) upon a Liquidation Event. Each Class A Preferred Share will automatically convert into Class B Ordinary Shares at the then applicable Class A Conversion Rate upon the earlier of (i) a Foundry Company IPO or (ii) a change of control transaction of The Foundry Company. The “Class A Conversion Rate” will initially be 100 Class B Ordinary Shares for each Class A Preferred Share converted, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Redemption. The Class A Preferred Shares will not be redeemable by The Foundry Company.

Voting Rights. The Class A Preferred Shares will be non-voting until the Reconciliation Event. Following the Reconciliation Event, each Class A Preferred Share will vote on an as-converted basis with the Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class, with respect to any question upon which holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to vote.

Class B Preferred Shares

The Class B Preferred Shares to be issued by The Foundry Company in connection with any equity funding will have the following principal terms:

Ranking. The Class B Preferred Shares will rank senior in right of payment to all other classes or series of equity securities of The Foundry Company for purposes of dividends, distributions and upon a Liquidation Event.

Accretion. Each Class B Preferred Share will be deemed to accrete in value at a rate of 12% per year, compounded semiannually, of the initial purchase price per such share (the sum of the initial purchase price per such share plus the amount of value accreted on such share is hereinafter referred to as the “Accreted Value”). Such Accreted Value will accrue daily from and after the issue date of such share and will be taken into account upon certain distributions to the holders of Class B Preferred Shares.

In the event that the aggregate Accreted Value in respect of all Class B Preferred Shares held by ATIC, when taken together with any Class A Preferred Shares held by ATIC, would cause the aggregate economic interest of ATIC in The Foundry Company to exceed thresholds required for The Foundry Company to remain a “Subsidiary” of AMD under the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement, such excess amount of the Accreted Value will be converted into Class B Convertible Notes that will only be payable in the event that Accreted Value is actually paid in the form of cash or Ordinary Shares and that any such payment does not cause the economic interest thresholds required for the Foundry Company to remain a “Subsidiary” of AMD under the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement to be exceeded.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of a Liquidation Event, each Class B Preferred Share will be entitled to receive, prior to any distribution to the holders of any other classes or series of equity securities, an amount equal to the Accreted Value of such share. Upon completion of the above distribution to the holders of Class B Preferred Shares, each Class A Preferred Share will be entitled to receive its liquidation preference amount out of any remaining assets of The Foundry Company. Upon completion of the above distributions to the holders of Preferred Shares, all of the remaining assets of The Foundry Company, if any, will be distributed pro rata among the holders of Ordinary Shares.

Conversion. Each Class B Preferred Share will be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into Class B Ordinary Shares at the then applicable Class B Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined) upon a Liquidation Event. Each Class B Preferred Share will automatically convert into Class B Ordinary Shares at the then applicable Class B Conversion Rate upon the earlier of (i) a Foundry Company IPO or (ii) a change of control transaction of The Foundry Company. The “Class B Conversion Rate” will initially be 100 Class B Ordinary Shares for each Class B Preferred Share converted, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the resulting fair market value of the Class B Ordinary Shares to be received upon such conversion would be less than the Accreted Value of such Class B Preferred Share, then the holder of such Class B Preferred Share will receive additional Class B Ordinary Shares upon such conversion in order to cause the fair market value of the total amount of Class B Ordinary Shares to be received upon such conversion to equal the Accreted Value of such Class B Preferred Share.

Redemption. The Class B Preferred Shares will not be redeemable by The Foundry Company.

Voting Rights. The Class B Preferred Shares will be non-voting until the Reconciliation Event. Following the Reconciliation Event, each Class B Preferred Share will vote on an as-converted basis with the Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class, with respect to any question upon which holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to vote.

DESCRIPTION OF AMD COMMON STOCK

Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, we will sell and issue, and WCH will purchase 58,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrants) for an aggregate purchase price equal to (a) 58,000,000 multiplied by (b) the lesser of (A) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (B) the average of the closing prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the Transactions.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value per share. As of January 14, 2009, 608,716,592 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders, including the election of directors. Stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect the entire board if they choose to do so and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the board of directors.

The holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors, in its discretion, from funds legally available therefor and subject to prior dividend rights of holders of any shares of preferred stock which may be outstanding. However, the terms of certain of our borrowing arrangements restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock in certain circumstances. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the company subject to prior liquidation rights of the holders of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the remaining assets of the company available for distribution. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Warrants.

Exercise of Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable in whole or in part at the option of the warrantholder at any time after the earlier of (i) public ground-breaking of the New York wafer fab and (ii) 24 months from the date of their issuance; provided, however, that upon an AMD Change of Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined), the Warrants will become immediately exercisable and will automatically be exercised through a cashless exercise. “AMD Change of Control Transaction” means a transaction or a series of transactions with or among any third person, on the one hand, and AMD, its stockholders or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, with respect to (A) a consolidation or merger or similar transaction of AMD in which AMD stockholders immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after such transaction, (B) any purchase of an equity interest resulting in any third person beneficially owning greater than a 50% voting or economic interest in AMD or (C) any purchase of assets, securities or ownership interests resulting in any third person owning greater than 50% of the consolidated assets of AMD and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

The warrantholder may exercise the Warrants by delivery to AMD of a written notice of its intent to exercise the Warrants. The warrantholder then will purchase through a cashless exercise, and AMD will issue, such number of Warrant Shares indicated in such notice five business days after the delivery of such notice to AMD. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of exercise will be required in connection with the automatic exercise of the Warrants upon an AMD Change of Control Transaction. In the case of an automatic exercise upon an AMD Change of Control Transaction, the warrantholder will purchase, and AMD will issue, the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants through a cashless exercise.

Exercise Price of the Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable for common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per share of common stock (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrants).

Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If we at any time or from time to time after the date on which the Warrants were first issued (or, if any Warrant was issued upon partial exercise of, or in replacement of, another warrant of like tenor, then the date on which such original warrant was first issued) (either such date being referred to as the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of our outstanding common stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be proportionately increased. If we at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of our common stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be proportionately decreased.

Adjustment for Dividends and Distributions in Common Stock. In the event we at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of our common stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of our common stock, then and in each such event the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be adjusted as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date will have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each holder of a Warrant will be entitled to receive an additional number of shares of our common stock upon exercise that such holder would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date has been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event we at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of our common stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in our securities (other than a distribution of shares of our common stock) or in cash or other property, then and in each such event the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant will be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date has been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the Current Market Value (as defined below) per share of common stock on the date of such event, and the denominator of which will be such Current Market Value per share of common stock less the fair market value (as determined in the reasonable good faith discretion of our board of directors) of such securities, cash or other property to be distributed with respect to each share of common stock on the date of such event. “Current Market Value” will mean the average of the daily closing prices on the NYSE of our common stock over the ten consecutive trading day period ending on the business day immediately preceding such event.

Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or Subdivision. If our common stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above), then and in each such event the holder of each Warrant will have the right thereafter to exercise such Warrant into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of common stock into which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

Adjustment in Exercise Price. Upon each adjustment in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the exercise price for such Warrant will be adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately thereafter; provided, however, that in no event will the exercise price be less than the par value of the common stock.

Registration Rights. The issuance and sale of the Warrants and Warrant Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act, and these securities will bear a legend specifying that such securities may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless a registration statement relating to such securities is in effect under applicable federal and state securities laws or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. At or prior to the Closing, AMD will put up a resale registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares by WCH and its permitted transferees, as well as the shares of our common stock acquired by WCH in November 2007, pursuant to a registration rights agreement between AMD and WCH (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, AMD will use

its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act until all such securities are sold to the public, whether pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144. AMD will bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement and its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, AMD will indemnify WCH, or any person who controls WCH, and each affiliate of WCH, against any losses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Notice of Certain Events. If at any time after the Warrants are first issued, AMD (i) enters into an AMD Change of Control Transaction, (ii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of AMD or (iii) declares a dividend on its common stock payable in cash or other property, then, in each case, AMD will provide the warrantholder with at least 30 days’ prior written notice before the applicable record date or effective date of such transaction, as the case may be, in order to provide the warrantholder the ability to exercise the Warrants and participate in such transaction as a holder of common stock.

Expiration. The Warrants expire upon the 10^th anniversary of their issuance.

The foregoing description of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibit E.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement dated October 6, 2008, as amended on December 5, 2008, entered into by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD” or the “Company”), Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (“ATIC”) and West Coast Hitech L.P., acting through its general partner, West Coast Hitech G.P., Ltd (“WCH”) (as amended, the “Master Transaction Agreement”), AMD and ATIC will form a manufacturing joint venture, The Foundry Company. AMD will contribute certain manufacturing-related assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares, and ATIC will contribute cash to The Foundry Company and pay cash to AMD in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, Class A Convertible Notes and Class B Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products and will provide certain foundry services to AMD and, in the future, expects to offer foundry services to other third-party customers.

The Master Transaction Agreement contemplates that AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), which sets forth the rights and obligations of AMD and ATIC as shareholders of The Foundry Company. In addition, a Funding Agreement among AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will provide for further equity funding of The Foundry Company by ATIC of a minimum of $3.6 billion and up to $6.0 billion over the five years after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement (the “Closing”), and a Wafer Supply Agreement between AMD and The Foundry Company will govern the terms by which AMD will purchase products manufactured by The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products using intellectual property transferred by AMD to The Foundry Company and certain intellectual property licensed to AMD. Immediately following the Closing, the Company and ATIC will be the only shareholders of The Foundry Company, each of which will have equal voting rights, and The Foundry Company will be owned 34.2 percent by the Company and 65.8 percent by ATIC on a fully converted to common share basis.

In addition, pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, WCH will purchase (i) 58,000,000 shares of AMD’s common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of AMD common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price equal to 58,000,000 multiplied by the lower of (A) the average closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 or (B) the average closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Closing. The Warrants are exercisable after the earlier of (a) public ground-breaking of Fab 4X in New York and (b) 24 months from the date of issuance.

For accounting purposes, AMD will consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) because The Foundry Company is deemed to be a variable-interest entity and AMD is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Upon the Closing, the accounts of The Foundry Company will include (i) the assets and liabilities contributed by AMD to The Foundry Company recorded at their historical costs in exchange for certain securities of The Foundry Company and (ii) the cash contributed by ATIC to The Foundry Company in exchange for certain securities of The Foundry Company. Upon consolidation, intercompany transactions and profits will be eliminated. Pursuant to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No.51, which AMD will be required to apply as of the beginning of fiscal 2009, ATIC’s non-controlling interest, represented by its equity interests in The Foundry Company, will be recorded on AMD’s consolidated balance sheet outside stockholders’ equity due to a put right that ATIC has pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement to sell all of its securities of The Foundry Company to AMD in the event of a change of control of AMD within 24 months of the Closing. The Company’s net income (loss) per common share will consist of its consolidated net income (loss), as adjusted for (i) the portion of The Foundry Company’s earnings or losses attributable to ATIC, which will be based on ATIC’s proportional

ownership interest in The Foundry Company’s Class A Preferred Shares, and (ii) the non-cash accretion of Class B Preferred Shares attributable to the Company, based on the Company’s proportional ownership interest of The Foundry Company’s Class A Preferred Shares.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2008 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 and the nine months ended September 27, 2008 are based on the historical financial statements of AMD after giving effect to the transactions described in Note 2 below and the assumptions and adjustments described elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the transactions described in Note 2 had been completed on September 27, 2008. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 and the nine months ended September 27, 2008 are presented as if the transactions had been completed at the beginning of fiscal 2007 and carried forward through September 27, 2008.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Digital Television and Handheld business units and classified them as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, as reported, reflect elimination of the operations of the Company’s Digital Television and Handheld businesses from the Company’s income (loss) from continuing operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as reported, presents the assets and liabilities of those businesses as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that based on the ongoing negotiations related to the divestiture of its Handheld business unit, the discontinued operation classification criteria for this business unit were no longer met. Accordingly, the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet, as adjusted, have been adjusted to reclassify the operations, assets and liabilities of the Company’s Handheld business unit back to the continuing operations.

The pro forma information is prepared pursuant to the requirements of Article 11 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and is presented solely for informational purposes. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved by AMD for the periods or dates indicated, and is not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations or financial position of AMD. The pro forma information is based on estimates and assumptions set forth in these notes, which AMD management believes are reasonable.

2. The Transactions

Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, AMD and ATIC will form a manufacturing joint venture, The Foundry Company. AMD will contribute certain manufacturing-related assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares, and ATIC will contribute cash to The Foundry Company and pay cash to AMD in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares and the Convertible Notes. The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products and will provide certain foundry services to AMD and, in the future, expects to offer foundry services to other third-party customers.

Immediately following the Closing, the Company and ATIC will be the only shareholders of The Foundry Company, each of which will have equal voting rights, and The Foundry Company will be owned 34.2 percent by the Company and 65.8 percent by ATIC on a fully converted to common share basis.

In addition, pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, WCH will purchase 58,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Warrants for an aggregate purchase price equal to 58,000,000 multiplied by the lower of (A) the average closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 or (B) the average closing prices per

share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Closing. The Warrants are exercisable after the earlier of (a) public ground-breaking of Fab 4X in New York and (b) 24 months from the date of issuance.

For accounting purposes, AMD will consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) because The Foundry Company is a variable-interest entity and AMD is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Upon the Closing, the accounts of The Foundry Company will include (i) the assets and liabilities contributed by AMD to The Foundry Company, recorded at their historical costs, in exchange for certain securities of The Foundry Company and (ii) the cash contributed by ATIC to The Foundry Company in exchange for certain securities of The Foundry Company. Upon consolidation, intercompany transactions and profits will be eliminated. Pursuant to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No.51, which AMD will be required to apply as of the beginning of fiscal 2009, ATIC’s non-controlling interest, represented by its equity interests in The Foundry Company, will be recorded on AMD’s consolidated balance sheet outside stockholders’ equity due to a put right that ATIC has pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement to sell all of its securities of The Foundry Company to AMD in the event of a change of control of AMD within 24 months of the Closing. The Company’s net income (loss) per common share will consist of its consolidated net income (loss), as adjusted for (i) the portion of The Foundry Company’s earnings or losses attributable to ATIC, which will be based on ATIC’s proportional ownership interest in The Foundry Company’s Class A Preferred Shares, and (ii) the non-cash accretion of Class B Preferred Shares attributable to the Company, based on the Company’s proportional ownership interest of The Foundry Company’s Class A Preferred Shares.

The carrying values of the assets and liabilities to be transferred by AMD to The Foundry Company pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, as of September 27, 2008, are summarized in the following table. As indicated in the previous paragraph, these assets and liabilities will continue to be consolidated by the Company after the Closing. The actual carrying values of the assets and liabilities that will be transferred by the Company upon the Closing will be different than those set forth in the table below.

Summary of the Assets and Liabilities to Be Transferred to The Foundry Company

Under the Master Transaction Agreement, the cash consideration that WCH and ATIC will pay and the securities that they will receive are as follows:

•

Cash to be paid by WCH to AMD for the purchase of 58 million shares of AMD common stock and Warrants: estimated to be $124 million, assuming a $2.15 per share price (which was the average of the closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008)

The Class B Preferred Shares are, by their terms, deemed to accrete in value at a rate of 12% per year, compounded semiannually. This accreted value will be taken into account upon certain distributions to the holders or upon conversion of the Class B Preferred Shares.

Upon Closing, the Company and ATIC will hold 1,090,950, or 83.3%, and 218,190, or 16.7%, respectively, of The Foundry Company Class A Preferred Shares and ATIC will own 100% of the Class B Preferred Shares and the Convertible Notes.

ANNEX A

December 5, 2008

Board of Directors

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

One AMD Place

Sunnyvale, CA 94088-3453

Members of the Board of Directors:

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“Discovery”), Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (“Oyster”), West Coast Hitech L.P. (“Pearl”) and FoundryCo (as defined below) propose to enter into an amendment (the “Amendment”), a draft of which we have reviewed dated December 5, 2008, to the Master Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Discovery would transfer certain assets to a newly-formed corporation incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“FoundryCo”), and FoundryCo would assume certain liabilities, including approximately $1.2 billion of debt owed to third parties by Discovery or a subsidiary of Discovery (the “Third-Party Debt), in each case related to Discovery’s “front-end” semiconductor manufacturing or fabrication facilities, properties and assets (excluding assets, facilities and properties related to “back-end” manufacturing functions such as assembly, test, mark and packaging) (the “Business”), (ii) Oyster would contribute $1.4 billion in cash to FoundryCo and pay $700 million in cash to Discovery, (iii) FoundryCo would issue to Discovery FoundryCo Class A Preferred Shares representing approximately 34.2% of FoundryCo’s outstanding ordinary shares on a fully-converted basis as well as one Class A Ordinary Share and would issue to Oyster FoundryCo Class A and Class B Preferred Shares and FoundryCo Class A and Class B Convertible Notes, in the principal amount of approximately $1.0 billion (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances), which when taken together, on an as converted basis, would represent approximately 65.8% of FoundryCo’s outstanding ordinary shares as well as one Class A Ordinary Share, (iv) Discovery would issue to Pearl 58 million shares of Discovery’s common stock at a per share price equal to the lower of (a) the average closing price of Discovery’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (b) the average closing price of Discovery’s common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the closing date for the transaction) and Discovery would receive from Pearl such purchase price in cash in exchange for such shares (the “Common Stock Sale”), (v) Discovery would issue to Pearl warrants to purchase 35 million shares of Discovery’s common stock with a $0.01 per share exercise price and 10 year expiration (the “Warrants”), (vi) Discovery would extinguish any and all intercompany liabilities between it and the Business on or prior to closing, and (vii) Discovery, Oyster, Pearl and FoundryCo would enter into a number of related commercial agreements (the “Commercial Agreements”), including, without limitation, the FoundryCo amended Funding Agreement that commits Oyster under certain conditions to fund the build-out of FoundryCo’s semiconductor manufacturing facilities in New York and Dresden and the Wafer Supply Agreement that governs the pricing, volume and other commitments (including exclusivity commitments by Discovery) between Discovery and FoundryCo for the supply of wafers.

You have asked us whether, in our opinion, the Consideration (as defined below) to be received by Discovery pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (as amended by the Amendment) is fair from a financial point of view to Discovery. Consideration for this purpose consists of Discovery’s receipt of FoundryCo Class A Preferred Shares and the one Class A Ordinary Share, cash paid to Discovery for shares of Discovery Common Stock and the Warrants, cash paid to Discovery from Oyster for FoundryCo Class B Preferred Shares, assumption of the Third-Party Debt by FoundryCo, and extinguishment of Business accounts receivable owed by Discovery to the Business by FoundryCo.

In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have, among other things:

(1)

Reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Discovery and the Business that we deemed to be relevant;

(2)

Reviewed certain information, including financial forecasts, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Discovery, the Business and FoundryCo furnished to us by Discovery;

(3)

Conducted discussions with members of senior management and representatives of Discovery and the Business concerning the matters described in clauses 1 and 2 above;

(4)

Reviewed the market prices and valuation multiples for certain publicly traded companies that we deemed to be relevant to Discovery, Business and FoundryCo;

(5)

(6)

Compared the proposed financial terms of the Agreement (as amended by the Amendment) with the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed to be relevant;

(7)

Participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of Discovery, the Business, FoundryCo, Pearl and Oyster and their financial and legal advisors;

(8)

Reviewed the Agreement dated as of October 6, 2008 as well as the Ancillary Agreements, as defined in the Agreement (as amended by the Amendment);

(9)

Reviewed a draft of the Amendment dated December 4, 2008; and

(10)

Reviewed such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other matters as we deemed necessary, including our assessment of general economic, market and monetary conditions.

In preparing our opinion, we have assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to us, discussed with or reviewed by or for us, or publicly available, and we have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying such information or undertaken an independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of Discovery or been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, nor have we evaluated the solvency or fair value of Discovery or FoundryCo under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of Discovery or FoundryCo. With respect to the financial forecast information furnished to or discussed with us by Discovery, we have assumed, at your direction, that they have been reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available estimates and judgment of Discovery’s management as to the expected future financial performance of Discovery, the Business and FoundryCo. We have also assumed that the final form of the Amendment and the Ancillary Agreements will be substantially similar to the last drafts reviewed by us.

Our opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on, and on the information made available to us as of, the date hereof.

We are acting as financial advisor to Discovery in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee from Discovery for our services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the

A-2

transactions contemplated by the Agreement. In addition, Discovery has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

We have, in the past, provided financial advisory and financing services to Discovery and may continue to do so and have received, and may receive, fees for the rendering of such services. Merrill Lynch was financial advisor to Discovery in Pearl’s common stock investment in Discovery in November 2007, co-manager in Discovery’s convertible notes offering in April 2007, and sole manager in Discovery’s common stock offering in January 2006. In addition, in the ordinary course of our business, we or our affiliates may actively trade Discovery shares and other securities of Discovery for our own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of Discovery. Our opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by Discovery to engage in the Agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote on any matter related to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. In addition, you have not asked us to address, and this opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Discovery. Furthermore, by delivering this opinion we make no comment on, and no implication should be drawn as to, the parties reasons for entering into the Amendment and we express no view or opinion as to their rights and obligations under the Agreement prior to the Amendment. In rendering this opinion, we express no view or opinion with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation payable to or to be received by any officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the Agreement, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration. We also express no view or opinion with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the Commercial Agreements or the trading price of the Company’s common stock at any date subsequent to the date hereof, including without limitation the closing date for the transaction. Our opinion has been authorized for issuance by the U.S. Fairness Opinion (and Valuation Letter) Committee of Merrill Lynch.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by Discovery pursuant to the Agreement (as amended by the Amendment) is fair from a financial point of view.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated

December 5, 2008

Transaction Oversight Committee of the

Board of Directors

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

One AMD Place

Sunnyvale, CA 94088-3453

Members of the Transaction Oversight Committee of the Board:

We understand that Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD” or the “Company”), Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (“Oyster”), an entity wholly owned by the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and West Coast Hitech L.P., (“Pearl”), an entity affiliated with Mubadala Development Company and controlled by the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, have entered into a Master Transaction Agreement dated October 6, 2008 (the “Master Transaction Agreement”), and propose to enter into an Amendment to the Master Transaction Agreement substantially in the form of the draft Amendment to the Master Transaction Agreement dated December 4, 2008 (the “Amendment”, and such Master Transaction Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the “Master Agreement”). The Master Agreement provides, among other things, for: (i) the contribution by AMD of certain assets related to its semiconductor manufacturing business (the “FoundryCo Assets”), and certain related liabilities including, without limitation, $1.2 billion in third-party debt (the “FoundryCo Liabilities”) to a subsidiary to be formed by AMD (“FoundryCo”), in exchange for an approximately 56.1% initial interest and a 50% voting interest in FoundryCo, and the extinguishment of certain intercompany accounts relating to such business; (ii) the contribution by Oyster of $1.4 billion in cash to FoundryCo in exchange for a 43.9% initial economic interest and a 50% voting interest in FoundryCo; (iii) the contribution by Oyster of $700 million in cash to AMD in exchange for the transfer of an approximately 21.9% interest in FoundryCo from AMD to Oyster, resulting in AMD owning 34.2% on a fully converted basis, and a 50% voting interest in FoundryCo and Oyster owning 65.8% on a fully converted basis, and a 50% voting interest in FoundryCo; (iv) the issuance by AMD to Pearl of 58 million newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of AMD (the “AMD Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase 35 million shares of AMD Common Stock for $0.01 per share for an aggregate amount equal to (a) 58 million multiplied by (b) the lesser of (x) the average of the closing prices per share of AMD Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 and (y) the average of the closing prices per share of AMD Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the Transaction (as defined below) closing date.; (v) the provision of certain future financing to FoundryCo by Oyster and AMD (the “Funding Commitment”); and (vi) the execution of certain related commercial agreements including, among other things, with respect to the provision of certain wafer fabrication foundry services by FoundryCo to AMD and certain related purchase and exclusivity commitments by AMD to FoundryCo. The actions contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi) above are referred to collectively herein as the “Transaction”. The consideration received by AMD pursuant to the actions described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) are referred to herein in the aggregate as the “Consideration”. The terms of the Transaction are more fully described in the Master Agreement.

You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Consideration to be received by AMD in connection with the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to AMD.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have:

1)	reviewed certain publicly available financial statements and other business and financial information of AMD;

2)	reviewed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning AMD;

3)	reviewed certain financial projections of AMD and FoundryCo prepared by the management of AMD;

B-1

4)	reviewed certain financial projections of FoundryCo jointly prepared by the managements of AMD and Pearl, respectively;

5)	discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of AMD and FoundryCo, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Transaction, with senior executives of AMD and Pearl, respectively;

6)	reviewed the pro forma impact of the Transaction on AMD’s earnings per share, cash flow, consolidated capitalization and financial ratios;

7)	compared the operations and financial forecasts for FoundryCo with that of certain publicly-traded companies comparable with FoundryCo;

8)	reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain transactions comparable to the Transaction;

9)	compared the financial performance of AMD and the prices and trading activity of the AMD Common Stock with that of certain other publicly-traded companies comparable with AMD, and their securities;

10)	participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of AMD and Pearl and their financial and legal advisors;

11)	reviewed the Master Agreement and certain related documents; and

12)	performed such other analyses and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate.

We have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to us by AMD and Pearl, and formed a substantial basis for this opinion. With respect to the financial projections, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Transaction, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of AMD and Pearl of the future financial performance of AMD and FoundryCo, as applicable. In addition, we have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Master Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions, including, among other things, that Oyster will obtain financing in accordance with the terms set forth in the Master Agreement and related agreements. Morgan Stanley has assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the proposed Transaction, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Transaction. We have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment by the Company of (i) the future, potential financial performance of each of AMD and FoundryCo; (ii) the likely terms and conditions of FoundryCo’s future customer contracts, if any; (iii) the ability of FoundryCo to acquire and retain customers; (iv) the timing of, and risks associated with, the creation of FoundryCo; and (v) the validity of, and risks associated with, FoundryCo’s existing and future technologies, intellectual property, products, services and business models. In connection with our analysis of the Consideration, we have taken into consideration the Funding Commitment and other factors that we deemed appropriate. We are not legal, tax or regulatory advisors. We are financial advisors only and have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of AMD and Pearl and their legal, tax or regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax or regulatory matters. Our opinion only addresses the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by the Company in connection with the Transaction. Our opinion does not address the fairness of any non-financial aspects of the Transaction. We express no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of AMD’s, Pearl’s or Oyster’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration to be received by AMD in the Transaction. We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of the Company, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.

B-2

We have acted as financial advisor to the Transaction Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors of AMD in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee upon the rendering of this financial opinion. In the two years prior to the date hereof, we have provided financial advisory and financing services for AMD and Pearl and have received fees in connection with such services. Morgan Stanley may also seek to provide such services to AMD and Pearl in the future and expects to receive fees for the rendering of these services.

Please note that Morgan Stanley is a global financial services firm engaged in the securities, investment management and individual wealth management businesses. Our securities business is engaged in securities underwriting, trading and brokerage activities, foreign exchange, commodities and derivatives trading, prime brokerage, as well as providing investment banking, financing and financial advisory services. Morgan Stanley, its affiliates, directors and officers may at any time invest on a principal basis or manage funds that invest, hold long or short positions, finance positions, and may trade or otherwise structure and effect transactions, for their own account or the accounts of its customers, in debt or equity securities or loans of Pearl, AMD, Oyster or any other company, or any currency or commodity, that may be involved in this Transaction, or any related derivative instrument.

This opinion has been approved by a committee of Morgan Stanley investment banking and other professionals in accordance with our customary practice. This opinion is for the information of the Transaction Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors of AMD and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing the Company is required to make with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this Transaction if such inclusion is required by applicable law. In addition, this opinion does not in any manner address the prices at which the AMD Common Stock will trade following consummation of the Transaction and Morgan Stanley expresses no opinion or recommendation as to how the stockholders of AMD should vote at the stockholders’ meeting to be held in connection with the Transaction.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the Consideration to be received by AMD in connection with the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to AMD.

As promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing, FoundryCo shall deliver to Discovery and Oyster the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets, together with a statement of the chief financial officer of FoundryCo (or, if FoundryCo shall not have a chief financial officer, a statement of such other senior executive officer responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of FoundryCo) certifying that the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets fairly presents FoundryCo’s Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets at the Closing in accordance with the Statement of Principles for Initial Valuation Net Tangible

Assets included on Schedule 2.08. During the preparation of the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets, and during the period for resolution of disputes set forth in Section 2.08(b), Discovery, Oyster and their respective representatives (including their independent accountants) shall have the right to review FoundryCo’s, Discovery’s, and any of their respective consolidated Subsidiaries’ books and records, accounting policies, internal controls processes, and other information relevant to the preparation of the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets or the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets. In connection with such review, each of FoundryCo and Discovery agrees that it will reasonably cooperate and cause its respective Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with Oyster, and in the case of FoundryCo, with Discovery, and the respective representatives of Oyster and Discovery, as the case may be, to provide all such requested information, and to make available during normal business hours FoundryCo’s, Discovery’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ management and employees, in each case as reasonably deemed necessary and appropriate by Discovery or Oyster or their respective representatives in order to perform such review.

(b) Disputes. (i) Subject to clause (ii) of this Section 2.08(b), the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets delivered by FoundryCo to Discovery and Oyster shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

(ii)

Either Discovery or Oyster may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets if the dispute, if resolved completely in favor of Discovery or Oyster, as applicable, would result in the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets being greater or less than the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets by more than the Designated Amount, but only on the basis that the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets were not arrived at in accordance with the Statement of Principles for Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets and the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets or were arrived at based on mathematical or clerical error; provided, however, that Discovery or Oyster, as applicable, shall have notified the other Party in writing of each disputed item, specifying the estimated amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within thirty (30) Business Days of FoundryCo’s delivery of the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets to Discovery and Oyster. In the event of such a dispute, Discovery and Ernst & Young LLP, on the one hand, and Oyster and KPMG LLP, on the other hand, shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. If any such resolution leaves in dispute amounts the net effect of which in the aggregate would not result in the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets being greater or less than the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets by more than the Designated Amount, all such amounts remaining in dispute shall then be deemed to have been resolved in favor of the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets delivered by FoundryCo to Discovery and Oyster. If Discovery and Oyster are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt by Discovery or Oyster, as applicable, of the other Party’s written notice of dispute, Discovery and Oyster shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or, if such firm shall decline or is unable to act or is not, at the time of such submission, independent of Discovery, Oyster and FoundryCo, to another independent accounting firm of international reputation mutually acceptable to Discovery and Oyster) (either PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other accounting firm being referred to herein as the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall, within thirty (30) Business Days after such submission, determine and report to Discovery and Oyster upon such remaining disputed items, and such report shall be final, conclusive and binding on Discovery and Oyster. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Discovery and Oyster in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so

submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the scope of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review, shall be limited to disputes concerning whether the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets were not arrived at on a basis consistent with the Statement of Principles for Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets, or were arrived at based on mathematical or clerical error, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall not make any other determination.

(iii)

(iv)

No adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.08(c) shall be made with respect to amounts disputed by Discovery or Oyster pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), unless the net effect of the amounts successfully disputed by Discovery or Oyster, as the case may be, in the aggregate, results in the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets being greater or less than the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets by more than the Designated Amount, in which case such adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.08(c) shall only be made in an amount equal to any excess over the Designated Amount.

(c) Purchase Price Adjustment. The Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.08 upon the earliest of (x) the failure of Discovery or Oyster to notify the other Party of a dispute within thirty (30) Business Days of FoundryCo’s delivery of the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets to Discovery and Oyster, (y) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii), by Discovery and Oyster, and (z) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii), by the Independent Accounting Firm. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.08(b)(iv), within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets being deemed final, a Purchase Price adjustment shall be made as follows:

(i)

In the event that the amount of the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets exceeds the amount of the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets by more than the Designated Amount, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward in an amount equal to 1.13 times such excess over the Designated Amount, and FoundryCo shall make such adjustment by issuing to Oyster an additional Class A Convertible Note and an additional Class B Convertible Note with an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such adjustment and in the same proportion, by principal amount, as the Class A Convertible Note and Class B Convertible Note, respectively, issued to Oyster at Closing.

(ii)

In the event that the amount of the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets exceeds the amount of the Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets by more than the Designated Amount, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward in an amount equal to 1.13 times such excess over the Designated Amount, and FoundryCo shall make such adjustment by canceling an aggregate principal amount of the Class A Convertible Note and the Class B Convertible Note issued to Oyster at Closing equal to the amount of such adjustment and in the same proportion, by principal amount, as the Class A Convertible Note and Class B Convertible Note, respectively, issued to Oyster at Closing.

(iii)

No purchase price adjustment shall be made in respect of any amount of Taxes reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets that exceeds the amount of Taxes reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets (which differences shall be the subject of indemnification pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement), and no such excess shall be considered in the determination of whether the amount of Initial Valuation Net

Tangible Assets reflected on the Closing Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets exceeds the amount of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets reflected on the Reference Statement of Initial Valuation Net Tangible Assets by more than the Designated Amount.

(d) Adjustment on Certain Other Events. In the event that Discovery fails to deliver the Make Whole Consent or the Make Whole Payment at or prior to Closing, or in the event that at any time prior to, at or after the Closing, FoundryCo shall pay any Conveyance Taxes, then at Closing, or in the case of Conveyance Taxes paid after Closing, promptly after each payment by FoundryCo of such Conveyance Taxes, FoundryCo shall issue to Oyster an additional Class A Convertible Note and an additional Class B Convertible Note (in the same proportion, by principal amount, as the Class A Convertible Note and the Class B Convertible Note issued to Oyster at Closing in consideration of the payment of the Oyster/FoundryCo Cash Consideration) with aggregate principal amounts equal to the amount of such (i) payment or payments of Conveyance Taxes (if any) made by FoundryCo plus (ii) the amount, if any, of the value of the Make Whole Payment (or that portion thereof unpaid at Closing).

inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to Discovery and its stockholders under applicable Law; (B) provided written notice to Oyster and Pearl of the identity of the Third Person making, and the material terms of any such proposal, and of Discovery’s intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such Third Person at least three (3) Business Days prior to taking any such action; (C) obtained from such Third Person an executed confidentiality agreement on customary terms (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting Discovery from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement); and (D) promptly provided to Oyster and Pearl any non-public information concerning Discovery or any of its Subsidiaries provided to any such Third Person which was not previously provided to Oyster and Pearl. Discovery shall keep Oyster and Pearl informed on a prompt basis of any material changes in the terms or status of any Discovery Change of Control Proposal.

SECTION 8.10. Discovery Indebtedness. Discovery shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements do not constitute an event or events of default under the Term Loan Facility Agreement or other Indebtedness of Discovery, and (ii) to the extent the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements may constitute an event or events of default under the Term Loan Facility Agreement or other Indebtedness of Discovery, to secure the necessary waivers or consents of the lenders thereunder, or their agents, as necessary to ensure that no event or events of default shall occur or continue unremedied as of the Closing.

SECTION 8.15. Risk of Loss. (a) Discovery assumes the risk of loss or damage by fire or other casualty to any Owned Real Property, any Leased Real Property or any Tangible Personal Property prior to the Closing. In the event that any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property shall suffer any material fire, casualty or injury prior to the Closing, Discovery agrees to (i) repair the damage at its sole cost and expense before the date set for delivery of the instrument of transfer or assignment, as applicable, hereunder, or (ii) make an appropriate reduction in the Purchase Price based on a reasonable approximation of the cost of such repair as agreed by the Parties, or (iii) assign to FoundryCo the proceeds of any insurances covering such fire, casualty or injury, provided that any deficiency in such proceeds shall result in an appropriate reduction in the Purchase Price based on a reasonable approximation of the cost of such repair as agreed by the Parties or, in the event the Parties cannot agree on the amount of such deficiency or reduction, an adjustment in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no mitigation of any casualty loss to any Owned Real Property, any Leased Real Property or any Tangible Personal Property before delivery of the applicable instrument of transfer or assignment shall limit the ability of Pearl or Oyster to pursue any remedies under this Agreement to the extent

that such casualty loss would cause Discovery to be in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement or to the extent that any such casualty loss would otherwise cause the failure of any condition to the obligations of Pearl or Oyster to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The risk of loss or damage to the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property by condemnation prior to the Closing is assumed by Discovery. In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced prior to the Closing, Discovery shall assign to FoundryCo at the Closing all of Discovery’s right, title and interest in and to all awards made in respect of such condemnation and shall pay over to FoundryCo all amounts theretofore received by Discovery in connection with such condemnation.

Discovery shall, upon Pearl’s request, cause the Pearl Director Designee to be promptly appointed or elected to the board of directors of Discovery including, if necessary, by amending its by-laws to increase the number of authorized directors, or securing the resignation of an incumbent director as necessary to enable the Pearl Director Designee to be elected or appointed by the board of directors of Discovery to the vacant seat created thereby. For so long as Pearl shall have the right to designate the Pearl Director Designee pursuant to this Section 9.01, Discovery shall, subject to applicable Law, cause the board of directors of Discovery (or a nominating committee thereof) to nominate the Pearl Director Designee to stand for election at any meeting of the stockholders (or pursuant to the solicitation of written consents in lieu thereof) of Discovery at which the seat available for or held by the Pearl Director Designee is up for election at such meeting (or is the subject of such solicitation for action by written consent of the stockholders of Discovery). Discovery shall, subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 as is necessary to enable the Pearl Director Designee to be elected to the board of directors of Discovery. The provisions of this Section 9.01 are in addition to and shall not limit any rights that Pearl or any of its Permitted Transferees may have as a holder or beneficial owner of Discovery Common Stock as a matter of Law with respect to the election of directors or otherwise.

SECTION 9.02. Access to Information. (a) For a period of ten (10) years after the Closing, the Parties shall cause FoundryCo to, and FoundryCo shall, (i) retain the books and records relating to the FoundryCo Assets, the Transferred FoundryCo Subsidiaries and the Transferred FoundryCo JV Entities relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practice of Discovery and (ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the officers, employees, agents and representatives of Discovery and Oyster reasonable access (including the right to make, at the requesting Party’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records, including employment records.

SECTION 9.03. Further Assurances. (a) Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all the things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required

to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 9.03(a), Discovery agrees that, in the event that any consent, approval or authorization necessary or desirable to preserve for the benefit of FoundryCo any right or benefit under any lease, license, contract, commitment or other agreement or arrangement to which Discovery or any Subsidiary is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, Discovery shall, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with FoundryCo in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable. If such consent, approval or authorization cannot be obtained, Discovery shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide FoundryCo with the rights and benefits of the affected lease, license, contract, commitment or other agreement or arrangement for the term of such lease, license, contract or other agreement or arrangement, and, if Discovery provides such rights and benefits, FoundryCo, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations and burdens thereunder.

SECTION 9.04. Authorization for Listing. Upon issuance of the Discovery Shares and the Warrant Shares, Discovery shall file a notice of issuance to cause the Discovery Shares and the Warrant Shares to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

SECTION 9.05. Standstill.

(ii)

initiate, or induce or attempt to induce any other Third Person to initiate, any shareholder proposal or tender offer for any securities of Discovery, any change of control of Discovery or the convening of a shareholders’ meeting of Discovery;

contact, or enter into any discussions or arrangements with, any Third Person who has filed, or will, within ten (10) days thereafter, be required to file, a statement containing the information required by Rule 13d-1 under the Exchange Act, concerning any of the matters set forth in this Section 9.05; or

(vii)

advise, assist or encourage any other Persons in connection with any of the foregoing.

Oyster and Pearl also agree during such period not to request that Discovery or any of its representatives, directly or indirectly, amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence), provided, that either Oyster or Pearl may ask Discovery whether it would wish to entertain a proposal for the acquisition of Discovery, but may not make such a proposal absent Discovery’s affirmative response to such question. Nothing in this Section 9.05 shall prohibit or prevent Oyster, Pearl or any of their respective Affiliates and Permitted Transferees from voting any securities at their sole discretion on matters submitted to the stockholders of Discovery for a vote, or from voting in favor of, or tendering any Discovery securities held by any of them into, any extraordinary transaction involving Discovery or a substantial portion of its securities or assets.

SECTION 9.06. Restrictions on Resale of Discovery Shares. From and after the Closing Date, until such time as Pearl (together with any Permitted Transferees to whom Pearl has transferred beneficial ownership of Discovery Common Stock) shall beneficially own (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), in the aggregate, less than ten percent (10%) of the Discovery Common Stock then outstanding, regardless of whether Pearl is an “affiliate” of Discovery (as defined in Rule 144(a)(1), promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act), Pearl and such Permitted Transferees may only resell shares of Discovery Common Stock (i) in connection with a bona fide pledge or other hypothecation or transfer in connection with a financing transaction secured by a pledge of Pearl’s Discovery Common Stock, (ii) by means of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144.

Pearl shall provide Discovery with notice of such sale or transfer, and upon such sale or transfer, any such Permitted Transferee shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.06 and shall provide a written agreement or undertaking to such effect, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Discovery.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.07(a):

(i)

Any Party or any Representative thereof may disclose any Confidential Information for bona fide business purposes on a strict “need to know” basis to its Affiliates, its board of directors (or equivalent governing body), its Representatives and its lenders, provided, however, that in each such case each such Person is bound by a legal duty to or otherwise agrees to keep such Confidential Information confidential in the manner set forth in this Section 9.07.

(ii)

The provisions of this Section 9.07 shall not apply to, and Confidential Information shall not include:

any information that has been independently developed by such Party (or any Affiliate thereof) without violating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other similar contract to which such Party, or any Affiliate thereof or their respective Representatives, is bound;

any information made available to such Party (or any Affiliate thereof), on a non-confidential basis by any third party who is not prohibited from disclosing such information to such Party by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to any other Party or any of its Representatives; or

(D)

any information already possessed by such Party (or any Affiliate thereof) and not obtained pursuant or subject to a confidentiality agreement.

(c) Except as otherwise provided for in this Section 9.07, Confidential Information received hereunder shall be used by each Party and its Affiliates solely for use in connection with such Party’s investment in FoundryCo and with respect to FoundryCo and its Subsidiaries.

(d) The obligations of each of Oyster and Discovery under this Section 9.07 shall survive for as long as such Party remains a shareholder of FoundryCo, and for two (2) years after such Party ceases to be a shareholder of FoundryCo, notwithstanding such Party’s ceasing to be a shareholder of FoundryCo or any Person ceasing to be an Affiliate of such Party. The obligations of Pearl under this Section 9.07 shall survive for as long as the obligations of Oyster survive hereunder.

From and after the date hereof, Discovery shall not settle, or make any binding offer to settle, any material Claim or Action related to the FoundryCo Assets, the Transferred FoundryCo Subsidiaries or the Transferred FoundryCo JV Entities, including Claims or Actions related to Excluded Liabilities, unless such settlement would not result in any Encumbrances or Liabilities on any of the FoundryCo Assets, or on any member of the FoundryCo Group or any Encumbrance on the conduct of the business of the FoundryCo Group as proposed to be conducted by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the FoundryCo Business Plan, or include any acknowledgment of validity or invalidity, enforceability or lack thereof, infringement or lack thereof, or interpretation of any claim with regard to any of the Intellectual Property related to such Claim or Action. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Discovery agrees to (i) promptly notify FoundryCo when it engages in settlement discussions with respect to any such Claims or Actions, and (ii) keep FoundryCo regularly apprised with respect to any such settlement discussions.

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by Discovery contained in the Transaction Documents (it being understood that, (i) for the purpose of determining whether any Oyster/FoundryCo Losses have arisen out of, or resulted from, or been suffered or occurred as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of any

warranty by Discovery that is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect,” Discovery shall be deemed to have made such misrepresentation or breached such warranty if the representation or warranty is untrue or incorrect, regardless of whether such misrepresentation or breach has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) for the purpose of determining the amount of Losses attributable to any misrepresentation or breach, such representations and warranties shall be interpreted without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to “materiality” (including the word “material”) or “Material Adverse Effect” set forth therein);

(e) with respect to Claims that relate to conditions existing at any time period prior to the Closing (i) any Hazardous Material at, on, under, migrating to or from, or transported to or from the Luther Forest Site excluding any portion thereof that is included in the Malta Rocket Fuel Area, (ii) any Environmental Claim arising at any time that relates in any way to the Luther Forest Site excluding any portion thereof that is included in the Malta Rocket Fuel Area, or (iii) any noncompliance with or violation of any applicable Environmental Law or Environmental Permit relating in any way to the Luther Forest Site excluding any portion thereof that is included in the Malta Rocket Fuel Area, except, in each case, to the extent such Oyster/FoundryCo Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of FoundryCo;

(i) the Excluded Liabilities.

SECTION 12.04. Indemnification of Discovery by FoundryCo. Discovery and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Discovery Indemnified Party”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by FoundryCo for and against any and all Losses (any Loss by such Persons, a “Discovery Loss”) arising out of or resulting from or incurred by reason of or in connection with:

(a) the breach of any covenant or agreement by FoundryCo contained in the Transaction Documents;

The indemnification obligations of this Section 12.05 shall be in addition to FoundryCo’s obligations to indemnify directors, including directors appointed by Oyster, pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Shareholders’ Agreement.

SECTION 12.06. Limits on Indemnification. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Shareholders’ Agreement, FoundryCo shall not submit any notice of Claim to Discovery or directly pursue any Claim for indemnification against Discovery for Oyster/FoundryCo Losses suffered by FoundryCo, in any case, pursuant to Section 12.02. Any such notice of claim shall be given, and any such Claim against Discovery shall be made, prosecuted, and if applicable, settled by Oyster in the name of FoundryCo. FoundryCo shall cooperate with Oyster in the investigation and prosecution of any such Claim, and shall make available to Oyster all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in FoundryCo’s possession or under FoundryCo’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by Oyster in connection with such Claim or any Action related to such Claim. In the event that Oyster shall pursue a Claim against Discovery on behalf of FoundryCo, such indemnification shall be made directly to FoundryCo, provided that Oyster may recover all Oyster/FoundryCo Losses consisting of expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) actually incurred by Oyster in connection with the investigation and prosecution of any such Claim or Action related to such Claim.

(b) In the event that Oyster has a Claim for indemnification against Discovery pursuant to Section 12.02 that is based on Oyster/FoundryCo Losses suffered or incurred by FoundryCo, and Oyster suffers or incurs such Oyster/FoundryCo Losses only indirectly as a result of a diminution in the value of Oyster’s debt or equity securities of FoundryCo, then Oyster may pursue a Claim for indemnification by Discovery pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.02 only on behalf of FoundryCo. Upon discharge and satisfaction by Discovery of the full amount of its indemnification obligations to FoundryCo for such Losses, Discovery’s indemnification obligations for such Losses shall be deemed satisfied with respect to Oyster.

(i)

Discovery shall not be liable for any Claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02(a) or (c) (to the extent also constituting a misrepresentation or a breach of warranty contained in this Agreement), or Section 12.03(a) or (c) (to the extent also constituting a misrepresentation or a breach of warranty contained in this Agreement), unless and until the aggregate amount of

indemnifiable Oyster/FoundryCo Losses and Pearl Losses which may be recovered from Discovery equals or exceeds, in the aggregate, twenty-one million dollars ($21,000,000) whereupon the Oyster/FoundryCo Indemnified Parties and the Pearl Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of such Oyster/FoundryCo Losses and Pearl Losses, as the case may be; and

(ii)

the maximum amount of indemnifiable Oyster/FoundryCo Losses and Pearl Losses which may be recovered by the Oyster/FoundryCo Indemnified Parties and Pearl Indemnified Parties arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 12.02(a) or (c) (to the extent also constituting a misrepresentation or a breach of warranty contained in this Agreement), and Section 12.03(a)or (c) (to the extent also constituting a misrepresentation or a breach of warranty contained in this Agreement), shall be, in the aggregate, seven hundred million dollars ($700,000,000).

The limitations of this Section 12.06(c) shall not apply with respect to indemnification for Taxes pursuant to Section 12.02(a).

(d) The Parties shall make appropriate adjustments for insurance proceeds actually received, net of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of recovery, in calculating Losses under this Article XII. Any insurance proceeds actually recovered by an Indemnified Party to the extent relating to any Losses previously paid by an Indemnifying Party shall be paid over promptly to such Indemnifying Party.

(e) No Party (or any other Indemnified Party) shall seek or be entitled to receive any consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity, relating to any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; nor shall any Party or Indemnified Party seek or be entitled to receive punitive damages as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

SECTION 12.07. Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims. (a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within one hundred eighty (180) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a Claim for a Loss under this Article XII, within ninety (90) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article XII. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is

reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

SECTION 12.08. Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that all payments made by either Discovery or Oyster to or for the benefit of the other under this Article XII, under other indemnity provisions of the Transaction Documents unless otherwise stated in the other Transaction Documents, and for any misrepresentations or breaches of warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents, shall be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof except to the extent that the Laws of a particular jurisdiction provide otherwise, in which case such payments shall be made in an amount sufficient to indemnify the relevant Party on an after-Tax basis. The Parties further agree that all payments made by either Discovery or Oyster to or for the benefit of FoundryCo under this Article XII, under other indemnity provisions of the Transaction Documents unless otherwise stated in the other Transaction Documents, and for any misrepresentations or breaches of warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents, shall be treated as a contribution to the capital of FoundryCo by the indemnifying Party, and the Loss of FoundryCo that gives rise to such indemnification obligation shall be specially allocated to the indemnifying Party pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 2.2 of Exhibit C to the Tax Matters Agreement. Neither such contribution nor such special allocation of the Loss shall increase or decrease a Party’s percentage interest, allocations, or distributions in respect of its equity interest in FoundryCo.

SECTION 14.02. Public Announcements. No Party shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior consent of the other Parties unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication.

SECTION 14.03. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 14.04. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 14.05. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of each Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such Party) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. Neither the transfer of ownership interests in Pearl to an Affiliate of Mubadala, nor the transfer of ownership interests in Oyster to any entity owned by the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi shall be deemed to be an assignment, by operation of law or otherwise, of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing, Oyster may transfer by novation all of its rights, liabilities, duties and obligations relative to, and in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, to Advanced Technology Investment Company PJSC, a public joint stock company to be organized under the laws of the United Arab Emirates and wholly owned by the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (“Oyster Parent”), which novation shall become effective upon the written undertaking, in form reasonably satisfactory to Discovery, by Oyster Parent to perform all of the liabilities and obligations of Oyster under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which Oyster is a party. Upon the effectiveness of such novation, without any other action by the Parties, Oyster Parent shall be deemed to be Oyster for all purposes under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which Oyster is a party.

SECTION 14.06. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each Party or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 14.07.

SECTION 14.07. Waiver. Any Party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of other Parties contained herein or in any document delivered by other Parties pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of other Parties or conditions to such Party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

SECTION 14.08. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article XII relating to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any

other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of any Party, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 14.09. Governing Law; Arbitration.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without regard to principles of the conflict of laws.

(b) Any dispute arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any question regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (a “Dispute”), shall be referred, upon written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) given by one Party to the other(s), to a senior executive from each Party. The senior executives shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received

(c) Any Dispute not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received shall be referred to, and shall be finally and exclusively resolved by, arbitration under the LCIA Rules then in effect, as amended by this Section 14.09, which LCIA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 14.09. The seat, or legal place, of the arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). Each Party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two arbitrators nominated by the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree upon and nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as Chairman of the Tribunal. If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the LCIA Court shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as Chairman of the Tribunal. The Chairman of the arbitration panel should not be a citizen or a resident of the country of an arbitrator nominated by, or appointed on behalf of, a Party nor should the Chairman be a citizen or a resident of the United States of America or the United Arab Emirates. It is hereby expressly agreed that if there is more than one claimant party or more than one respondent party, the claimant parties shall together nominate one arbitrator and the respondent parties shall together nominate one arbitrator. In the event that a sole claimant or the claimant parties, on the one side, or a sole respondent or the respondent parties, on the other side, fails to nominate its/their arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. Any award issued by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and, subject to this Section 14.09(c) and to Section 14.09(d), may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by any of the Parties. In the event any Party subject to such final and binding award desires to have it confirmed by a final order of a court, the only court which may do so shall be a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England; provided however, that nothing in this sentence shall prejudice or prevent a Party from enforcing the arbitrators’ final and binding award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements could give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, prior to the formation of the Tribunal, the Parties have the right to apply exclusively to any court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial authority located in London, England for interim or conservatory measures, including, without limitation, to compel arbitration (an “Interim Relief Proceeding”). Furthermore, the Parties agree that, after the formation of the Tribunal, the arbitrators shall have the sole and exclusive power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and any then pending Interim Relief Proceeding shall be discontinued without prejudice to the rights of any of the parties thereto. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators pursuant to the terms hereof, the arbitrators’ expenses shall be shared equally by the Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to: (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England in relation to any Interim Relief Proceeding and; (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England with respect to the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered in accordance with this Section 14.09; and, with respect to any such suit, action or proceeding, waives any objection that it may have to the courts of England located in London, England on the grounds of inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement, the whole of its award shall

be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, as the case may be (and judgment on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 14.09).

(d) Each of Oyster and Pearl hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law whatever defense it may have of sovereign immunity against suit or enforcement, for itself and its property (presently owned or subsequently acquired, and whether related to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, as the case may be, or not), in: (i) any arbitration proceedings commenced and held in London, England in accordance with this Section 14.09(c); (ii) any Interim Relief Proceeding commenced and held in a court of competent jurisdiction in London, England, in accordance with Section 14.09(c); (iii) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England to confirm an award rendered by the arbitrators in accordance with this Section 14.09; and (iv) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce an award, and each of Oyster and Pearl agrees that it will not raise, claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding.

(e) The Parties hereto agree that the process by which any arbitral or other proceedings in London, England are begun may be served on them by being delivered to Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited or their registered offices for the time being and by giving notice in accordance with Section 14.01. If Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process in England on any Party’s behalf, such Party shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. If within fifteen (15) days of notice from a Party requiring another Party to appoint a person in England to accept service of process on its behalf the other Party fails to do so, the Party shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice to the other Party. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the Parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 14.10. Currency. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars.

SECTION 14.11. No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each Party acknowledges and agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that each of the Parties has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

SECTION 14.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

If any Permitted Transferee to which Securities are transferred in accordance with this Article III ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of the Shareholder from which or whom it acquired such Securities, such Person shall reconvey such Securities to such transferring Shareholder immediately before such Person ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such transferring Shareholder so long as such Person knows of its upcoming change of status immediately prior thereto. If such change of status is not known until after its occurrence, the former Permitted Transferee shall make such transfer to such transferring Shareholder as soon as practicable after the former Permitted Transferee receives notice thereof.

(b) Each Permitted Transferee shall enter into a joinder agreement pursuant to Section 3.09(a).

SECTION 3.05 Right of First Offer

(a) The provisions of this Section 3.05 shall survive the IPO.

(b) Following the end of the Restricted Period, except as provided for in Section 3.03(b), if at any time during the term of this Agreement, a Shareholder (the “Prospective Seller”) desires to effect a Sale of Securities to a Third Party or Third Parties, the Prospective Seller shall deliver a written notice (an “Offer Notice”) thereof to FoundryCo and the other Shareholder (the “Other Shareholder”), which notice shall set forth all of the material terms and conditions, including the number of Securities proposed to be sold (the “Offered Securities”) and the proposed purchase price per Share (the “Offer Price”) (which shall be payable solely in cash or freely marketable securities in one lump sum payment), on which the Prospective Seller offers to sell the Offered Securities to FoundryCo and the Other Shareholder (the “Offer”).

(c) The receipt of an Offer Notice by the Other Shareholder shall constitute an offer by the Prospective Seller to sell to the Other Shareholder. Such Offer shall be irrevocable for thirty (30) days (the “Offer Period”)

after receipt of such Offer Notice by the Other Shareholder. During the Offer Period, the Other Shareholder shall have the right to accept such offer as to any or all of the Offered Securities by giving a written notice of acceptance (the “Notice of Acceptance”) to the Prospective Seller prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, which notice shall specify the number of Offered Securities to be purchased by the Other Shareholder. Alternatively, if the threshold set forth in Section 3.07(b) is met, the Other Shareholder shall have the right and option to notify the Prospective Seller of the Other Shareholder’s interest in selling along with the Prospective Seller to a Third Party (the “Tag Along Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.07.

(d) The consummation of any such purchase by and sale to the Other Shareholder shall take place not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the Offer Period (unless a later date shall be required under the HSR Act or other applicable Law). Upon the consummation of such purchase and sale, the Prospective Seller shall (i) deliver to the Other Shareholder the Securities purchased, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than this Agreement and applicable Law) and (ii) assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Securities against payment of the purchase price contained in the Offer.

(e) In the event that (i) the Other Shareholder shall not have elected during the Offer Period to purchase all the Offered Securities or (ii) the Other Shareholder shall have failed to consummate a purchase of Securities with respect to which a Notice of Acceptance was given, the Prospective Seller shall not be obligated to sell any Offered Securities to the Other Shareholder and, subject to its obligations under Section 3.06 and 3.07, shall have the right to sell the Offered Securities (the “Unaccepted Securities”) to a Third Party or Third Parties so long as all the Unaccepted Securities are sold or otherwise disposed of by the Prospective Seller (A) within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Offer Period or such longer period (up to the maximum period permitted by applicable Law) as would be required under the HSR Act or other applicable Law, and (B) at a price not less than the Offer Price included in the Offer Notice.

SECTION 3.06 Right of Last Look

(a) The provisions of this Section 3.06 shall survive the IPO.

(b) Following the end of the Restricted Period, except as provided for in Section 3.03(b), a Prospective Seller shall not consummate any Sale of Securities to a Third Party without offering in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Sale of Securities, the Other Shareholder the right to acquire the Offered Securities for the purchase price set forth in this Section 3.06 and otherwise on the terms and conditions offered by the Third Party (the “Last Look Notice”). The Last Look Notice shall contain (i) the name and address of the Third Party and any Person who controls such Third Party, (ii) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be delivered by the Third Party in the transaction and a calculation of the purchase price applicable to the Other Shareholder, (iii) the material terms of such transaction, and (iv) the proposed closing date. The Other Shareholder shall have five (5) Business Days to notify the Prospective Seller of its intentions to purchase the Securities on the terms and conditions set forth above (the “Last Look Acceptance Notice”);

(c) To the extent that the Other Shareholder elects not to exercise its purchase right under this Section 3.06 or does not timely deliver a Last Look Acceptance Notice, the Prospective Seller shall be permitted to consummate its transaction with the Third Party not later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the period of time for the Other Shareholder to deliver the Last Look Acceptance Notice. Alternatively, if the Other Shareholder timely delivers the Last Look Acceptance Notice, the Other Shareholder must consummate the acquisition of Securities on or before the proposed closing date identified in the Last Look Notice.

SECTION 3.07 Tag-Along Rights

(a) The provisions of this Section 3.07 shall terminate upon the IPO.

(b)(i) Following the end of the Restricted Period, except as provided for in Section 3.03(b), no Prospective Seller shall sell any Offered Securities held by it, if such Offered Securities constitute more than 10% of the then

Fully Diluted Shares, unless each Other Shareholder is provided the Offer Notice set forth in Section 3.05 and is offered the right and option to sell pursuant to such disposition up to the same percentage of Securities held by it as the percentage of Securities held by the Prospective Seller as the Prospective Seller proposes to sell.

(ii) The Other Shareholder desiring to exercise such option shall, prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, provide the Prospective Seller with a written notice specifying the number of Securities as to which such Other Shareholder (the “Tag-Along Offered Securities”) has an interest in selling pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer (a “Tag-Along Notice of Interest”), and shall cooperate in such manner as the Prospective Seller shall reasonably request to permit the sale of such Securities pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer.

(iii) If the Third Party is unwilling to buy all of the Offered Securities, then the allocation of the Securities to be sold in the Tag-Along Offer shall be made pro rata based on the number of Securities each Shareholder proposes to sell.

(iv) Promptly after the consummation of the Sale of Securities of the Prospective Seller and the Other Shareholder to the Third Party or Parties pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer, the Prospective Seller shall remit to the Other Shareholder the total sales price of the Securities of the Other Shareholder sold pursuant thereto less the pro rata portion (based on sales price of Securities being sold by the respective parties) of the out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred by the Prospective Seller in connection with such sale; provided, however, that the Other Shareholder shall not be liable for any such expenses in the event that such sale is not consummated.

(v) If at the end of the Offer Period the Other Shareholder shall not have given a Tag-Along Notice of Interest, the Other Shareholder shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 3.07 with respect to the sale pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer with respect to which a Tag-Along Notice of Interest shall not have been given.

(vi) If, at the end of the twenty (20)-day period following the giving of the Offer Notice (or such later date as is required under the HSR Act or other applicable Law), the Prospective Seller has not completed the sale of all the Tag-Along Offered Securities made available to the Prospective Seller pursuant to Section 3.07(b)(ii), the Prospective Seller shall return to the Other Shareholder all certificates and documents provided to the Prospective Seller by the Other Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.07(b)(ii); provided, however, that the Prospective Seller shall not be relieved of its obligation to sell the Securities of the Other Shareholder in the event that such sale is ultimately completed with such Third Party or Parties.

(vii) Except as expressly provided in this Section 3.07, no Prospective Seller shall have any obligation to the Other Shareholder with respect to the sale of any Securities held by the Other Shareholder in connection with this Section 3.07. No Other Shareholder shall be entitled to sell and transfer Securities directly to any Third Party pursuant to a Tag-Along Offer (it being understood that all such sales shall be made only on the terms and pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.07).

SECTION 3.08 Drag-Along Rights

(a) The provisions of this Section 3.08 shall terminate upon the IPO.

(b) Following the end of the Restricted Period, except as provided for in Section 3.03(b), in the event that any Shareholder that, together with its Permitted Transferees, holds at least 75% of the Fully Diluted Shares (the “Dragging-Along Shareholder”) proposes to sell all of its Securities in a bona fide transaction to a Third Party, then the Dragging-Along Shareholder shall have the unconditional right to effect the sale of all (but not less than all) of such Securities in either a private or public sale, at the option of the Dragging-Along Shareholder (such transaction, the “Drag-Along Transaction”). In such event, the Dragging-Along Shareholder may, at its option, require the other Shareholder (the “Dragged-Along Shareholder”) to sell all of the Securities then held by or registered in the names of such Dragged-Along Shareholder and its Permitted Transferees (“Drag-Along Offered Securities”) to the Third Party or Parties in the Drag-Along Transaction for the same consideration and otherwise on the same terms and conditions upon which the Dragging-Along Shareholder sells its Securities, subject to

Section 3.08(f). Each Shareholder hereby agrees that it will vote in favor of (or execute any written resolutions with respect to) any transaction required by this Section 3.08(b) and to take such further actions as may be reasonably required to effect such transaction, in each case, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement. In the event of a Drag-Along Transaction, none of the provisions of Sections 3.02(b)(i) and (b)(iii), 3.05, 3.06, and 3.07 shall apply.

(c) The Dragging-Along Shareholder shall provide a written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) of such Drag-Along Transaction (the “Drag-Along Offer”) to the Dragged-Along Shareholder not later than thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the sale contemplated by the Drag-Along Offer. The Drag-Along Notice shall contain written notice of the exercise of the Dragging-Along Shareholder’s rights pursuant to Section 3.08(b), and shall identify the Third Party or Parties making the Drag-Along Offer, the consideration offered per Share and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Offer. Within twenty (20) days following the date the Drag-Along Notice is given, the Dragged-Along Shareholder shall cooperate in such manner as the Dragging-Along Shareholder shall reasonably request to permit the sale of the Securities requested from each such Dragged-Along Shareholder pursuant to the Drag-Along Offer, and shall enter into a sale agreement with respect to the sale of the Securities of the Dragging-Along Shareholder and the Dragged-Along Shareholder pursuant to the Drag-Along Offer and shall reasonably cooperate in the transfer of these Securities to the relevant Third Party; provided, however, that the Dragged-Along Shareholder shall not be required to make any representations and warranties in such sale agreement other than with respect to the Dragged-Along Shareholder’s authority to enter into the sale agreement and ownership of the Securities to be sold by the Dragged-Along Shareholder. The Company shall in connection with the transfer of the relevant Securities to the relevant Third Party request the Board to adopt a resolution to grant the approval for such transfer of Securities pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

(d) Promptly after the consummation of the sale of Securities pursuant to the Drag-Along Offer and receipt of consideration therefor, the Dragging-Along Shareholder shall remit to the Dragged-Along Shareholder the sales proceeds received by the Dragging-Along Shareholders of the Securities of such Dragged-Along Shareholder sold pursuant thereto less a pro rata portion of the out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred by the Dragging-Along Shareholder in connection with such sale; provided, however, that the Dragged-Along Shareholder shall not be liable for any such expenses in the event that such sale is not consummated.

(e) If, at the end of the sixty (60)-day period following the giving of the Drag-Along Notice, the Dragging-Along Shareholder has not completed the sale of all its Securities and the Securities of the Dragged-Along Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.08(b), the Dragging-Along Shareholder shall return to the Dragged-Along Shareholder such documents as it shall reasonably request, and the Dragged-Along Shareholder shall no longer be obligated to cooperate in such sale and transfer pursuant to Section 3.08(b) with respect to such Drag-Along Offer.

(f) Except as expressly provided in Section 3.08(d), the Dragging-Along Shareholder shall have no obligation to the Dragged-Along Shareholder with respect to the contemplated sale of any Securities held by such Dragged-Along Shareholder in connection with this Section 3.08. The Dragging-Along Shareholder shall have no obligation to the Dragged-Along Shareholder to sell and transfer any Drag-Along Offered Securities pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as a result of any decision by the Dragging-Along Shareholder not to accept or consummate any Drag-Along Offer (it being understood that any and all such decisions shall be made by the Dragging-Along Shareholder in its sole discretion). No Dragged-Along Shareholder shall be entitled to sell and transfer Securities directly to any Third Party pursuant to a Drag-Along Offer (it being understood that all such sales shall be made only on the terms and pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.08).

(g) Upon the consummation of a Drag-Along Transaction, all of the holders of the Securities shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per Security, respectively, taking into account and giving effect to any accrued interest, conversion ratios, liquidation preference and other provisions relating to the nature of

consideration, to which the holders of Securities are entitled in accordance with the terms thereof in effect immediately prior to the Drag-Along Transaction, and if any holders of Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders shall be given the same option. In addition, such Shareholder shall not be required to accept consideration in a Drag-Along Transaction other than cash and/or freely-tradable equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ Stock Market and/or any other securities exchange or automated quotation system of similar caliber in the United States or elsewhere.

SECTION 3.09 Certain Persons to Execute Agreement

(a) Each Shareholder agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, make any Sale of Securities to any Permitted Transferee or otherwise unless, prior to the consummation of any such Sale of Securities, the Person to whom such Sale of Securities is proposed to be made (a “Prospective Transferee”) executes and delivers to FoundryCo and each Shareholder an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A whereby such Prospective Transferee confirms that, with respect to the Securities that are the subject of such Sale of Securities, it shall be deemed to be a “Shareholder” for all purposes of this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement as a “Shareholder”; provided, however, that such Prospective Transferee shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until such time as such Sale of Securities to such Person has been completed.

(b) The provisions of this Section 3.09 shall not apply to any Sale of Securities pursuant to a Public Offering or, following the IPO, pursuant to an offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or similar non-U.S. applicable Law (each such Sale of Securities, a “Public Sale”).

SECTION 3.10 Equivalent Rights

The Shareholders acknowledge that the Board may determine that it is in the best interests of FoundryCo to effect its IPO on a securities exchange located outside of the United States. The Shareholders and FoundryCo agree that prior to any such IPO each of them shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to amend this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that the rights of the Shareholders with respect to any Public Offerings in and following the IPO and the sale of Securities in any such Public Offerings are at least equivalent to the rights set forth in this Agreement in respect of sales of Securities in the United States.

SECTION 3.11 Put and Call Options; Fair Market Valuation

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, in the event that a Shareholder’s option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Funding Agreement is triggered (i) to put any or all of the Securities held by such Shareholder and its Permitted Transferees to the other Shareholder, or (ii) to purchase any or all of the Securities held by the other Shareholder and its Permitted Transferees, such Shareholder shall have thirty (30) days from the date that it receives notification of the triggering event by the other Shareholder to deliver a written notice (the “Election Notice”) to the other Shareholder electing to exercise such put or call option, as appropriate, and if not so exercised within such thirty (30)-day period, such option shall lapse.

(b) Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that where the provisions of this Agreement and the Funding Agreement indicate that the “Fair Market Value” of the Shares of FoundryCo is to be determined, such Shareholder will take all actions reasonably necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of such Shares in accordance with this Section 3.11(b).

(i) The Shareholder wishing to exercise its put or call option pursuant to Section 3.11(a) shall designate an investment banking firm of recognized international standing within fifteen (15) days of the date of the delivery of the Election Notice to determine the Fair Market Value of such Shares. The other Shareholder shall also designate an investment banking firm of recognized international standing within the same time

period. Within thirty (30) days after appointment of both investment banking firms, each investment banking firm shall determine its initial view as to the Fair Market Value of such Shares and shall consult with one another with respect thereto. Within forty-five (45) days after appointment of both investment banking firms, each investment banking firm shall have determined its final view as to the Fair Market Value of such Shares and shall have delivered such final view to the Shareholders.

(ii) If the difference between the higher of the respective final views of the two investment banking firms and the lower of the respective final views of the two investment banking firms is less than 10% of the higher Fair Market Value, then the Fair Market Value determined shall be the average of those two views.

(iii) If the difference between the higher Fair Market Value and the lower Fair Market Value is equal to or greater than 10%, then the Shareholders shall instruct the investment banking firms to jointly designate a third investment banking firm of recognized international standing (the “Mutually Designated Appraiser”). The Mutually Designated Appraiser shall be designated within ten (10) days after the delivery of the final views of the investment banking firms pursuant to Section 3.11(b)(i) and shall within fifteen (15) days of such designation determine its final view as to the Fair Market Value. The final Fair Market Value determination shall be the Fair Market Value of the Mutually Designated Appraiser.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Shareholder does not appoint an investment banking firm within the time periods specified above, such Shareholder shall have waived its rights to appoint an investment firm and determination of the Fair Market Value shall be made solely by the Shareholder who did appoint an investment banking firm.

(c) FoundryCo shall provide reasonable access to each of the designated investment banking firms to members of management of FoundryCo and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records of FoundryCo and its Subsidiaries in order to allow such investment banking firms to conduct due diligence examinations in scope and duration as are customary in valuations of this kind. Each of the Shareholders and any Permitted Transferees agree to cooperate with each of the investment banking firms to provide such information as may be reasonably requested. Costs of the appraisals shall be borne equally by the Shareholders.

into Discovery’s consolidated financial statements and to prepare for its quarterly earnings releases and United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulatory filings at the times hereinafter set forth:

(B) a consolidated statement of operations for FoundryCo and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal month; and

(ii) Within seven (7) Business Days after the end of each fiscal month (or such longer time as the Shareholders and FoundryCo may agree to account for system changes or other events that may affect FoundryCo’s ability to close its books within this time period), relevant cash flow data for FoundryCo and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal month.

(iii) As soon as available and in any event within six (6) Business Days after the end of each fiscal quarter (or such longer time as the Shareholders and FoundryCo may agree to account for system changes or other events that may affect FoundryCo’s ability to close its books within this time period), relevant information as may reasonably be requested by Discovery necessary for Discovery to prepare and discuss its quarterly earnings press release in a manner consistent with Discovery’s prior practices and disclosures.

(iv) As soon as available and in any event within twelve (12) Business Days after the end of each fiscal quarter (or such longer time as the Shareholders and FoundryCo may agree to account for system changes or other events that may affect FoundryCo’s ability to close its books within this time period), financial and operating data and analysis, including aggregate contractual cash obligations and aggregate unconditional purchase commitments (in each case, without disclosing the individual names, cost or pricing information for any of FoundryCo’s customers, vendors or accounts, unless Discovery is required to disclose such information by SEC rules and regulations), necessary for Discovery to prepare its Form 10-Q in compliance with SEC rules and regulations.

(v) As soon as available and in any event within sixteen (16) Business Days after the end of each fiscal year (or such longer time as the Shareholders and FoundryCo may agree to account for system changes or other events that may affect FoundryCo’s ability to close its books within this time period), financial and operating data and analysis, including aggregate contractual cash obligations and aggregate unconditional purchase commitments (in each case, without disclosing the individual names, cost or pricing information for any of FoundryCo’s customers, vendors or accounts, unless Discovery is required to disclose such information by SEC rules and regulations), necessary for Discovery to prepare its Form 10-K in compliance with SEC rules and regulations.

(vi) Other data and representations as may be necessary to allow Discovery to timely comply with SEC rules and regulations, GAAP and the reasonable requirements of Discovery’s auditors; provided, however, that FoundryCo shall not be obligated to provide to Discovery the individual names, cost or pricing information for any of FoundryCo’s customers, vendors or accounts, unless Discovery is required to disclose such information by SEC rules and regulations.

(c) For as long as Discovery is required to consolidate the financial results of FoundryCo, FoundryCo shall provide financial data and assist in the quarterly review and the annual integrated financial statement audit work

SECTION 8.02 Notices

All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given or made in accordance with Section 14.01 of the Master Transaction Agreement.

SECTION 8.03 Public Announcements

No Party hereto shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other Parties unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the Parties hereto shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication.

SECTION 8.04 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 8.05 Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between Discovery, Oyster and FoundryCo with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 8.06 Assignment

This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of each Party hereto (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such Party) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void.

SECTION 8.07 Amendment

This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each Party hereto or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 8.08.

SECTION 8.08 Waiver

Either Discovery or Oyster may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party or conditions to such Party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of either Party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

SECTION 8.09 Third Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of Discovery, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.10 Governing Law; Arbitration

(b) Any dispute arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby, including any question regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), shall be referred, upon written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) given by one Party to the other(s), to a senior executive from each Party. The senior executives shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received.

(c) Any Dispute not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received shall be referred to, and shall be finally and exclusively resolved by, arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “LCIA Rules”) then in effect, as amended by this Section 8.10, which LCIA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 8.10. The seat, or legal place, of the arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). Each Party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators nominated by the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree upon and nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as Chairman of the Tribunal (as such terms are defined in the LCIA Rules). If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the LCIA Court (as such term is defined in the LCIA Rules) shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as Chairman of the Tribunal. The Chairman of the arbitration panel should not be a citizen or a resident of the country of an arbitrator nominated by, or appointed on behalf of, a Party nor should the Chairman be a citizen or a resident of the United States of America or the United Arab Emirates. It is hereby expressly agreed that if there is more than one claimant party or more than one respondent party, the claimant parties shall together nominate one arbitrator and the respondent parties shall together nominate one arbitrator. In the event that a sole claimant or the claimant parties, on the one side, or a sole respondent or the respondent parties, on the other side, fails to nominate its/their arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. Any award issued by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and, subject to this Section 8.10(c) and to Section 8.10(d), may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by any of the Parties. In the event any Party subject to such final and binding award desires to have it confirmed by a final order of a court, the only court which may do so shall be a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England; provided however, that nothing in this sentence shall prejudice or prevent a Party from enforcing the arbitrators’ final and binding award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement could give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, prior to the formation of the Tribunal, the Parties have the right to apply exclusively to any court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial authority located in London, England for interim or conservatory measures, including, without limitation, to compel arbitration (an “Interim Relief Proceeding”). Furthermore, the Parties agree that, after the formation of the Tribunal, the arbitrators shall have the sole and exclusive power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and any then pending Interim Relief Proceeding shall be discontinued without prejudice to the rights of any of the Parties thereto. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators pursuant to the terms hereof, the arbitrators’ expenses shall be shared equally by the Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to: (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England in relation to any Interim Relief Proceeding and; (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England with respect to the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered in accordance with this Section 8.10; and, with respect to any such suit, action or proceeding, waives any objection that it may have to the courts of England located in London, England on the grounds of inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement, the whole of its award shall be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement (and judgment on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 8.10).

(d) Oyster hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law whatever defense it may have of sovereign immunity against suit or enforcement, for itself and its property (presently owned or subsequently acquired, and whether related to this Agreement or not), in: (i) any arbitration proceedings commenced and held in London, England in accordance with Section 8.10(c); (ii) any Interim Relief Proceeding commenced and held in a court of competent jurisdiction in London, England, in accordance with Section 8.10(c); (iii) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England to confirm an award rendered by the arbitrators in accordance with this Section 8.10; and (iv) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce an award, and Oyster agrees that it will not raise, claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding.

(e) The Parties hereto agree that the process by which any arbitral or other proceedings in London, England are begun may be served on them by being delivered to Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited or their registered offices for the time being and by giving notice in accordance with Section 8.02. If Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process in England on any Party’s behalf, such Party shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. If within fifteen (15) days of notice from a Party requiring another Party to appoint a person in England to accept service of process on its behalf the other Party fails to do so, the Party shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice to the other Party. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the Parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 8.11 Currency

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars.

SECTION 8.12 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 8.13 Expenses

Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.

SECTION 8.14 No Presumption Against Drafting Party

Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and that each of the Parties hereto has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

PROCEDURES PRIOR TO EACH FUNDING NOTICE

SECTION 2.01. Approval of Annual Business Plan.

(a) On or prior to mid-November of each year (which date shall be prior to the end of the seventh fiscal week of the fourth fiscal quarter of such year of FoundryCo), or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day, the Management Team shall prepare and present to the Board for its approval a proposed Annual Business Plan for the subsequent Fiscal Year. The Annual Business Plan for the Fiscal Year ending on December 26, 2009 (the “First Annual Business Plan”) is attached hereto as Appendix B. Each proposed Annual Business Plan shall address, among other things, each of the line items set forth in the First Annual Business Plan.

(b) In connection with the preparation of each proposed Annual Business Plan, the Management Team shall retain such advisors and take such actions as will enable it to estimate whether and to what extent third-party debt financing (“Debt Financing”) would then be available to FoundryCo, with the aim that such Debt Financing would be at least sufficient to meet the projected Debt Funding Level for such Fiscal Year as set forth in the Five-Year Capital Plan. Each proposed Annual Business Plan shall include either a proposed commitment letter for such Debt Financing or a summary of indicative terms from at least two financial institutions (or, if in the good faith determination of the Management Team, no reputable and established financial institutions would provide such Debt Financing on commercially reasonable terms, a statement to such effect). Each of Discovery and Oyster shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist FoundryCo in obtaining any Debt Financing, and either Shareholder shall have the option, but not the obligation, to provide guarantees or other similar means of financial support in connection with any Debt Financing.

(c) Such proposed Annual Business Plan shall specifically include an estimate, by fiscal quarter, of sources and uses of funds for FoundryCo for such subsequent Fiscal Year, at all times after giving effect to the cash reserve requirement in Section 2.02. After due consideration of such proposed Annual Business Plan, the Board shall vote on whether to approve (with such changes as the Board shall determine) such proposed Annual Business Plan in accordance with the approvals required by the Shareholders’ Agreement. If the Board approves such proposed Annual Business Plan in accordance with the approvals required by the Shareholders’ Agreement, such proposed Annual Business Plan shall immediately become effective as the Annual Business Plan for the subsequent Fiscal Year.

(d) If the Board has not approved such proposed Annual Business Plan on or prior to the earlier of (i) the first Business Day after November 29 and (ii) the last day of the ninth (9^th) fiscal week of the fourth fiscal quarter

of Foundry Co, then within three (3) Business Days thereafter FoundryCo shall deliver a notice that shall detail the specific items that are the subject of such non-approval to the chief executive officer of each Shareholder. During the period following receipt of such notice through December 23 of that Fiscal Year, the chief executive officers, acting on behalf of their respective Shareholder, shall seek in good faith and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to hold at least three (3) additional meetings with the goal of approving the proposed Annual Business Plan (with such changes as the chief executive officers shall determine). If (i) the Board approves such proposed Annual Business Plan (with such changes as the chief executive officers, acting on behalf of their respective Shareholder, shall determine) in accordance with the approvals required by the Shareholders’ Agreement, or (ii) a Shareholder unilaterally approves such proposed Annual Business Plan (with such changes as such Shareholder shall determine) pursuant to the rights granted under Section 6.01(b) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, such proposed Annual Business Plan shall immediately become effective as the Annual Business Plan for such subsequent Fiscal Year.

(e) If the Shareholders, acting through their respective chief executive officers, have not approved such proposed Annual Business Plan on or prior to December 23^rd of the Fiscal Year in which the proposed Annual Business Plan was submitted to the Board and the chief executive officers, a “Business Plan Deadlock” shall be deemed to have occurred and the Parties shall follow the deadlock resolution procedures set forth in Article VIII.

SECTION 2.02. Cash Reserve. The Parties agree that at all times during the term of this Agreement, the FoundryCo Group shall maintain Cash and Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to at least $1.0 billion, provided, however, that this requirement shall no longer apply upon the earlier of (i) FoundryCo entering into a Transition Period in accordance with Article VIII hereunder and (ii) the end of Phase II.

ARTICLE III

FUNDING PROCEDURES

SECTION 3.01. Funding Notices.

(a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, FoundryCo may provide a notice requesting equity funding (the “First Funding Notice”) to both Shareholders in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix D. The First Funding Notice shall be provided at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date of any contemplated equity funding hereunder (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Shareholders) (each, a “Funding Date”).

(b) On any Funding Date, the aggregate number of Securities to be issued shall consist of twenty percent (20%) in the form of Class A Preferred Shares and eighty percent (80%) in the form of Class B Preferred Shares, provided, however, that, prior to the Reconciliation Event, to the extent the issuance of any such Securities to Oyster would cause FoundryCo to fail to constitute a “subsidiary” of Discovery, as such term is defined in the Intel Patent Cross License Agreement, FoundryCo shall instead issue to Oyster (i) a Class A Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Class A Preferred Shares that would have been issued to Oyster but for this proviso, and (ii) a Class B Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Class B Preferred Shares that would have been issued to Oyster but for this proviso.

(c) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, unless otherwise agreed by the Shareholders, the aggregate amount of equity funding to be provided by the Shareholders in any Fiscal Year pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

(i) during Phase I, such amount shall be equal to the Original Funding Level for such Fiscal Year as set forth in the Five-Year Capital Plan, provided, however, that such Original Funding Level shall be reduced to the extent any Debt Financing obtained by FoundryCo during such Fiscal Year exceeds the projected Debt

Funding Level for such Fiscal Year, and provided further, that, subject to Section 3.01(c)(iv), to the extent such Debt Financing is less than any such projected Debt Funding Level, the Original Funding Level shall not be increased to make up any such difference;

(ii) during Phase II, such amount shall be equal to the Original Funding Level for such Fiscal Year as set forth in the Five-Year Capital Plan, provided, however, that such amount may be reduced (A) to the Minimum Funding Level pursuant to Section 6.02(b), (B) to a level between the Original Funding Level and the Minimum Funding Level pursuant to Section 8.02(a) and (C) to the Minimum Funding Level pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Such amount shall also be reduced to the extent any Debt Financing obtained by FoundryCo during such Fiscal Year exceeds the projected Debt Funding Level for such Fiscal Year, provided, however, that, subject to Section 3.01(c)(iv), to the extent such Debt Financing is less than any such projected Debt Funding Level, such amount shall not be increased to make up any such difference. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Minimum Funding Level applies, then (x) the projected Debt Funding Level shall be reduced to the Minimum Debt Funding Level, and (y) if the level of Debt Financing is less than any such projected Minimum Debt Funding Level, the minimum level of equity funding shall be equal to the Minimum Funding Level;

(iii) during Phase III, such amount shall be equal to the equity funding level set forth in the approved Annual Business Plan for such Fiscal Year, provided, however, that such amount may be reduced (A) to a level between the Phase III Alternate Funding Level and the Transition Funding Level pursuant to Section 8.03(a) and (B) to the Transition Funding Level pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Such amount shall also be reduced to the extent any Debt Financing obtained by FoundryCo during such Fiscal Year exceeds the projected Debt Funding Level for such Fiscal Year, provided, however, that to the extent such Debt Financing is less than any such projected Debt Funding Level, such amount shall not be increased to make up any such difference. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Transition Funding Level applies and such Debt Financing is less than any such projected Debt Funding Level, the minimum level of equity funding shall be equal to the Transition Funding Level; and

(iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.01(c)(i) or (ii), if (A) any equity funding has been reduced during Phase I or Phase II as a result of Debt Financing obtained during any Fiscal Year exceeding the projected Debt Funding Level for such Fiscal Year (the cumulative amount of such equity funding reduction being referred to as the “Rollover Amount”) and (B) during any subsequent Fiscal Year during Phase I or Phase II the amount of any Debt Financing is less than the projected Debt Funding Level for such Fiscal Year, then the amount of equity funding for such Fiscal Year or for any subsequent Fiscal Year during Phase I or Phase II may be increased up to the Rollover Amount, provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount of equity funding to be provided by Oyster during Phase I and Phase II exceed the aggregate amount of equity funding for Phase I and Phase II as set forth in the Five-Year Capital Plan.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, Oyster shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the Securities offered pursuant to any First Funding Notice. Discovery shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the Securities offered pursuant to any First Funding Notice. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a First Funding Notice, Discovery shall advise FoundryCo and Oyster, in writing, whether it elects to purchase any of the Securities offered. To the extent that Discovery elects not to purchase all of its Pro Rata Portion of any Securities offered pursuant to any First Funding Notice, Oyster shall be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, to purchase all of such unpurchased Securities. Oyster may also elect at any time to purchase additional Securities in excess of those offered pursuant to any First Funding Notice.

(e) On or prior to the tenth (10^th) Business Day prior to a Funding Date, FoundryCo shall provide a notice (the “Second Funding Notice”) to each Shareholder in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix E which shall detail each Shareholder’s allocable portion of the Securities offered.

SECTION 3.02. Purchase and Sale of Securities.

(a) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on each Funding Date, FoundryCo shall issue to each purchasing Shareholder and such Shareholder shall purchase, accept and acquire from FoundryCo the allocated Securities as set forth in the Second Funding Notice for such Funding Date.

(b) On each Funding Date, the purchase price per Class A Preferred Share shall be the same as the purchase price per Class B Preferred Share and shall be determined by dividing (i) the Net Tangible Assets of the FoundryCo Group (derived from the most recent Fiscal Year-end audited consolidated balance sheet of FoundryCo that has been approved by the Board and calculated in accordance with the Statement of Principles set forth in Appendix F attached hereto) by (ii) the Number of Outstanding Preferred Shares (as of the date of the balance sheet referred to in clause (i) above), and multiplying such quotient by 1.1.

(c) On each Funding Date, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes to be issued shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.01(b).

SECTION 3.03. Closing Deliveries by FoundryCo. On each Funding Date, FoundryCo shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Oyster and Discovery, if applicable, or their respective designated custodians:

(a) if requested, physical certificates evidencing the number of Class A Preferred Shares to be purchased by such Shareholder on such Funding Date, rounded to the nearest whole share;

(b) if requested, physical certificates evidencing the number of Class B Preferred Shares, to be purchased by such Shareholder on such Funding Date, rounded to the nearest whole share;

(c) if applicable, a Class A Convertible Note to Oyster for an aggregate principal amount in accordance with Section 3.01(b);

(d) if applicable, a Class B Convertible Note to Oyster for an aggregate principal amount in accordance with Section 3.01(b);

(e) an updated Register of Members reflecting the issuance of the Securities on such Funding Date;

(f) a certificate, dated as of such Funding Date, executed by an authorized officer of FoundryCo certifying as to the matters set forth in Article IV, Section 6.01 and Section 6.02(a), 6.02(b) or 6.02(c), as applicable; and

(g) receipt(s) for the aggregate consideration paid by such Shareholder for the Securities issued to it on such Funding Date.

SECTION 3.04. Closing Deliveries by the Shareholders. On each Funding Date, to the extent a Shareholder is purchasing Securities, such Shareholder shall deliver to FoundryCo:

(a)(i) a wire transfer of the aggregate consideration for the Securities to be issued to such Shareholder on such Funding Date, payable in United States dollars and in immediately available funds to the bank account designated by FoundryCo in the First Funding Notice, or (ii) if the Board so agrees in advance, the aggregate consideration for such Securities payable in Cash and Cash Equivalents acceptable to the Board; and

(b) a certificate, dated as of such Funding Date, executed by an authorized officer of such Shareholder certifying as to the matters set forth in Article V.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to: (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England in relation to any Interim Relief Proceeding and; (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England with respect to the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered in accordance with this Section 9.10; and, with respect to any such suit, action or proceeding, waives any objection that it may have to the courts of England located in London, England on the grounds of inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement, the whole of its award shall be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement (and judgment on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 9.10).

(d) Oyster hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law whatever defense it may have of sovereign immunity against suit or enforcement, for itself and its property (presently owned or subsequently acquired, and whether related to this Agreement or not), in: (i) any arbitration proceedings commenced and held in London, England in accordance with Section 9.10(c); (ii) any Interim Relief Proceeding commenced and held in a court of competent jurisdiction in London, England, in accordance with Section 9.10(c); (iii) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England to confirm an award rendered by the arbitrators in accordance with this Section 9.10; and (iv) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce an award, and Oyster agrees that it will not raise, claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding.

(e) The Parties hereto agree that the process by which any arbitral or other proceedings in London, England are begun may be served on them by being delivered to Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited or their registered offices for the time being and by giving notice in accordance with Section 9.02. If Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process in England on any Party’s behalf, such Party shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. If within fifteen (15) days of notice from a Party requiring another Party to appoint a person in England to accept service of process on its behalf the other Party fails to do so, the Party shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice to the other Party. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the Parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 9.11. Currency. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars.

SECTION 9.12. No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and that each of the Parties hereto has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

SECTION 9.13. Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs or expenses.

SECTION 9.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

2.1 Purchase Commitments.

(a) MPU Products. During the term of this Agreement and subject to Section 2.1(b), AMD agrees to purchase all of AMD’s and the Remaining Discovery Subsidiaries’ MPU Product requirements from FoundryCo Sales Entities in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that if FoundryCo is not in compliance with its obligations to provide the agreed to capacity or to provide all of the MPU Products pursuant to the Binding Forecasts and applicable purchase orders in a timely manner, within the Yield requirements, on Qualified Processes and in accordance with the Specifications, then the parties agree to meet, discuss and implement a mutually acceptable corrective action plan to address such non-compliance as well as a mutually acceptable plan to allow FoundryCo to provide the agreed to capacity and to provide all of the MPU Products pursuant to the Binding Forecasts and applicable purchase orders in a timely manner, within the Yield requirements, on Qualified Processes and in accordance with the Specifications going forward. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that AMD acquires a business from a third party that either manufactures or has manufactured MPU Products, then AMD shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to transition

manufacture of such MPU Products to FoundryCo; provided that such period of time to transition shall not exceed two (2) years from the date of such acquisition, unless consented to by FoundryCo (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Second Sourcing.

i. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), AMD may source up to [****] percent ([****]%) of AMD’s and the Remaining Discovery Subsidiaries’ quarterly MPU Product Wafer requirements with [****] at Process Nodes of [****] nm or greater, until [****] establishes a fabrication facility at an [****] outside [****] with Qualified Processes to manufacture the applicable MPU Products for AMD.

ii. If at any time while AMD may purchase the applicable MPU Products from [****], FoundryCo cannot deliver in a timely manner Qualified Products produced on Qualified Processes that meet the Specifications in accordance with Binding Forecasts, the Partnership Committee shall promptly address the situation, including conducting a prompt review process and implementing a corrective action plan. If, however, such failure to so deliver such Products is causing AMD to fail to meet its material commitments to its customers, and AMD as a result needs to purchase greater MPU Product volumes from [****] than otherwise set forth above, AMD may increase its purchases at [****] for the affected MPU Products above the [****] percent ([****]%) maximum to meet such customer requirements. AMD may thereafter continue to purchase MPU Products over the [****] percent ([****]%) maximum until such time as FoundryCo demonstrates, as mutually agreed upon, that FoundryCo can meet the relevant Specifications and Yields for such MPU Product in a manner reasonably comparable or better than those of [****], as well as meet the applicable supply commitments set forth in this Agreement or as actually required by AMD.

iii. Upon request from AMD and [****], FoundryCo agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide technical assistance to [****] with respect to an agreed upon plan to enable [****]’s efforts to manufacture the applicable MPU Products, including, subject to any applicable third-party sublicensing and disclosure restrictions, granting access and rights to necessary process technology, provided that [****] agrees to use such assistance solely to manufacture applicable MPU Products for AMD and to enter into a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to FoundryCo. AMD agrees to bear the reasonable expenses approved in advance by AMD and actually incurred by FoundryCo to provide such assistance.

iv. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of [****] Change of Control Transaction, AMD shall not be permitted thereafter to engage [****] as a second source manufacturer of any MPU Products, subject to a reasonable wind-down period to move the production of the applicable MPU Products to Qualified Processes at the FoundryCo Manufacturing Entities without materially affecting AMD’s supply obligations to its customers. FoundryCo agrees, in good faith, to work with AMD to resolve any issues related to AMD’s ongoing customer relationship as a result of AMD’s inability to engage [****] as a second source manufacturer. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except for the reasonable transition period contemplated in the final sentence of Section 2.1(a), to the extent the relevant MPU Products were being made by [****] or [****] at the time AMD acquired the applicable business pursuant to the final sentence of Section 2.1(a), AMD agrees not to second source any MPU Products from [****] or [****] or any company controlled by [****] or [****].

i. AMD commits to, and the parties agree to work together, to establish FoundryCo’s ability to manufacture GPU Products via a high volume bulk 32 nm process with Specifications to be agreed upon in advance by the parties in writing.

ii. At such time as FoundryCo has established a 32 nm Qualified Process, AMD agrees, subject to this Section 2.1(c), that it will purchase from FoundryCo Sales Entities at least [****] percent ([****]%) of AMD’s and the Remaining Discovery Subsidiaries’ monthly Wafer requirements for the GPU Products at all Process Nodes, as further detailed in Exhibit C, ramping up linearly over a five (5) year period beginning with the fiscal month in which the initial [****] percent ([****]%) GPU Product volume sourcing commitment has been met, to at least [****] percent ([****]%) of AMD’s Wafer requirements of its GPU Products (such minimum percentage, the “GPU Minimum Percentage”). If for an applicable quarter it is determined that AMD has not placed the GPU Minimum Percentage of AMD’s and the Remaining Discovery Subsidiaries’ GPU Products for manufacture by FoundryCo as set forth herein, the parties agree to meet, discuss and implement a mutually acceptable corrective action plan to address such non-compliance and to enable FoundryCo to manufacture higher volumes of the GPU Products in future.

iii. For each GPU Product (including the first-tape out of such GPU Product), FoundryCo shall have a [****] in accordance with the process set forth in Exhibit B to manufacture such GPU Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that FoundryCo shall have such [****] in accordance with the process set forth in Exhibit B with respect to each GPU Product (whether or not such GPU Product is first GPU Product) at each [****] of [****].

iv. AMD agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its or the Remaining Discovery Subsidiaries’ assets related to GPU Products and related technology (including the equity interests of ATI Technologies ULC or its other subsidiaries that own such assets) to any person (other than to AMD or another Remaining Discovery Subsidiaries) without the consent of FoundryCo, unless the transferee (A) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement with respect to GPU Products, including FoundryCo’s [****] with respect to each GPU Product and the GPU volume commitment set forth in this section 2.1(c), and (B) agrees to purchase, on an annual basis, GPU Products in an amount equal to the GPU Minimum Percentage (determined at the time of such transfer) of AMD’s volume of total GPU Products purchased from any foundry during the one (1) year period before such transfer, or if such transfer takes place less than one (1) year from the Effective Date, then the annualized volume for the period from the Effective Date to such transfer date.

AMD shall have no purchase commitment with respect to any Other Future Products; provided, however, that in the event AMD introduces a tape-out of any Other Future Products, FoundryCo shall have a right of first refusal in accordance with the process set forth in Exhibit B to manufacture such Other Future Product (including the first tape-out of such Other Future Product), subject to Qualification of such Other Future Product at such Process Node.

2.2 Capacity Commitment. The parties agree to work in good faith to review the forecast with respect to MPUs provided by AMD pursuant to Section 5.1, including a review of all incremental capital costs and expenditures expected to be incurred by FoundryCo resulting from any increase in the MPU Product volumes pursuant to the MPU Product forecasts. Upon completion of such review, and to the extent agreed to by the parties regarding the implementation of any additional capacity at FoundryCo Manufacturing Entities, FoundryCo shall allocate such additional capacity sufficient to produce the MPU Product volumes indicated in the relevant Binding Forecasts. The parties agree to act in good faith and in reasonable manner in connection

with such review and any agreement to allocate such capacity. The parties agree to establish capacity requirements in writing in advance for the manufacture and supply of GPU Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FoundryCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to fill any unutilized capacity at FoundryCo Manufacturing Entity facilities that has been allocated to AMD as set forth in this Agreement with production on behalf of third parties, and FoundryCo will offset AMD’s obligations to reimburse FoundryCo’s fixed costs for such unutilized capacity by the percentage of such unutilized capacity FoundryCo uses to manufacture products for third parties; provided that FoundryCo shall not be required to fill such unutilized capacity that has been allocated to AMD if there exists unutilized capacity at FoundryCo Manufacturing Entity facilities that has not been allocated to AMD.

The Partnership Committee will meet (a) on a quarterly basis, (b) at the request of any party in connection with the resolution of a dispute, and (c) at the reasonable request of any party to address significant issues with respect to this Agreement. The Partnership Committee or its designees will also conduct QBRs and QTRs.

(b) Dispute Escalation. If at any point the Partnership Committee members are deadlocked and cannot reach agreement on an issue, the Partnership Committee will notify the relevant executive officer (each, a “Relevant Executive Officer”) of AMD and FoundryCo of the issue. If the Relevant Executive Officers reasonably determine that the issue warrants further escalation, the Relevant Executive Officers will then discuss the issue in person or by telephone and the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the issue for a period of ten (10) Business Days. If the issue is not resolved, as agreed by AMD and FoundryCo, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the issue will be escalated to the chief executive officers of AMD and FoundryCo.

3.3 New Processes. The parties will discuss in good faith the details of the introduction of new process technologies, technology roadmaps and new Process Nodes at FoundryCo (subject to, in each case, any applicable constraints to which FoundryCo may be subject pursuant to any confidentiality obligations (whether oral or in writing) to or confidentiality agreements with third parties) for use to manufacture Products, including production capacity, ramp time, dependencies and Wafer Prices. As between FoundryCo and AMD, FoundryCo will bear all expenses for introducing new process technology and new Process Nodes, as further described in Exhibit A, other than AMD-Specific Manufacturing Process Technologies.

3.4 New Products. If the parties agree, pursuant to Section 2.1 or otherwise, to add new non-MPU Products for FoundryCo to manufacture on AMD’s behalf, AMD and FoundryCo shall agree in writing in advance on the Specifications, the AMD-Specific Product Qualification Plan and the price for such new non-MPU Products.

manufacturing process, and deliver the Product Development Wafers to AMD in accordance with the AMD-Specific Qualification Plan or the Qualification Plan agreed upon by the parties.

3.6 Process Evaluation. AMD shall evaluate the Wafers provided by FoundryCo in accordance with the AMD-Specific Qualification Plan or the Qualification Plan, as applicable. The parties will then assess in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit G whether the applicable manufacturing process fulfills the necessary requirements to manufacture the applicable Products in commercial production quantities in accordance with all applicable Specifications and requirements.

3.7 Yield Calculation Process and Yield Improvements.

(a) Existing Products on Existing Processes. On a fiscal quarter basis within thirty (30) days following the end of the previous fiscal quarter, the parties will meet and review the actual Yields achieved by FoundryCo on a Product by Product basis. The parties will agree in writing on a Product by Product basis for the Target Yields for each Product that will apply to orders placed in the subsequent fiscal quarter. For the first [****] fiscal quarters following the Effective Date, the lot average actual Yields measured over the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the Effective Date for the Products calculated by AMD and provided to FoundryCo shall be used for the Target Yields.

(b) New Products on New Processes. For instances where AMD and FoundryCo have agreed that FoundryCo will manufacture a new Product for AMD and will do so on a new process that has not previously been Qualified to manufacture Products for AMD, the Partnership Committee may set a Target Yield, but Yield and Yield Loss percentages will not be calculated until the parties mutually agree that a sufficient number of Wafers have been produced to generate Target Yield data. The parties will establish in advance mutually-acceptable test criteria for determining conformance of the applicable Die to the applicable Specifications so that the Target Yield data will be determined objectively.

(c) New Products on Existing Processes. For instances where AMD and FoundryCo have agreed that FoundryCo will manufacture a new Product for AMD and will do so on an existing FoundryCo process that has previously been Qualified to manufacture Products for AMD, the Partnership Committee may set a Target Yield, but the Target Yield will not be calculated until the parties mutually agree that a sufficient number of Wafers have been produced to generate Target Yield data, with a presumption that fewer Wafers will need to be produced to calculate such Target Yield data than would be required for new Products on new processes. The parties will establish in advance mutually-acceptable test criteria for determining conformance of the applicable Die to the applicable Specifications so that the Target Yield data will be determined objectively.

(d) Yield Improvements. FoundryCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continuously improve Yields and to decrease Yield Losses for all Products. AMD understands and accepts that design and test program changes instigated by AMD (for instance, by moving test from system level test to wafer sort test) may decrease the Wafer sort Yield and reasonably decrease the Target Yield, and agrees to reset the relevant Target Yield and Wafer sort Yield accordingly. FoundryCo shall notify AMD with respect to such decrease in the Wafer sort Yield and decrease in the Target Yield.

3.8 Notice of Engineering Change.

(a) Engineering Change Approval. FoundryCo shall not remove, destroy, cease production on, or make any Major Changes to, any Qualified Process, or the controlled process parameters or sources, types or grade classifications of materials used on any Qualified Process, with respect to any Product, except (i) in accordance with FoundryCo’s then-standard, reasonable engineering change notification process as generally applied to its

customers; (ii) as reviewed and approved by the Partnership Committee on a case-by-case basis; or (iii) in accordance with a mutually agreed-upon process for implementing end-of-life procedures at the request of AMD.

(b) Engineering Change Requests from AMD. AMD may request Engineering Changes to a Qualified Process with respect to any Product from time to time. AMD agrees to provide FoundryCo reasonable specifications and rationales for making the process change, as well as propose an effective date for such Engineering Changes. FoundryCo shall respond within a reasonable period of time with a change order advising AMD as to whether it can support such change, and if it can support such change, the impact of such change on Product price, Yield, schedule, materials and work in progress. FoundryCo shall implement the requested Engineering Changes upon written agreement by AMD and FoundryCo of the terms of the change order.

3.9 Information. To the extent that it is able to do so based on disclosure obligations to third parties, and upon a specific request from AMD and the receipt by FoundryCo of each relevant consent from its third party customers, FoundryCo agrees to share with AMD the necessary technical and manufacturing information to ensure successful performance and production ramp of Products.

4.7 Treatment of Gain on Sale of Specific FoundryCo Equipment. When FoundryCo delivers certain specific [****] equipment that was sold to [****] prior to the Effective Date and recognizes the gain on the sale of such equipment, to the extent such gain reduces manufacturing costs, the gain shall be reversed in calculating AMD MPU Specific Total COGS or AMD MPU Specific Manufacturing Costs for the Period in which such gain was recognized by FoundryCo. For the avoidance of doubt, AMD MPU Specific Total COGS or AMD Specific Manufacturing Costs shall not be reduced in that Period as a result of such gain.

5. ORDER AND SHIPMENT

5.1 MPU Product Forecasts. Beginning on the Effective Date, AMD shall provide FoundryCo, in writing on a monthly basis a non-binding, rolling [****] month forecast of its monthly volume requirements for MPU Products on a Product by Product basis, identified by specific technology and Process Node for the MPU Products listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the agreement of the parties with respect to any additional capacity requirements as specified in Section 2.2, the forecasts for capacity requirements for MPU Products shall be binding on each party regarding the Binding Forecast Period. AMD shall be required to reimburse FoundryCo for all AMD MPU Specific [****], as part of the MPU Product pricing calculation in Exhibit A, [****] of the [****] of [****] actually [****] during any relevant Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties agree that the binding capacity for the first [****] years after the Effective Date shall be [****] percent ([****]%) of the capacity at [****] in [****] plus [****] in [****] and any [****] at the request of AMD to manufacture MPU Products during such [****] years per mutual written agreement by the parties.

(a) In the event that during the Binding Forecast Period AMD requests additional capacity and FoundryCo provides such capacity, AMD shall also [****] FoundryCo for the AMD MPU Specific [****], as part of the MPU pricing calculation in Exhibit A, for such additional capacity.

(b) FoundryCo shall, upon receipt of the relevant [****] month rolling forecast, provide AMD, on a quarterly basis, with a non-binding forecast of the AMD MPU Specific [****], AMD MPU Specific [****], AMD-Specific [****] and [****] Wafer [****] (for MPU Products) at a reasonable level of detail required to produce and maintain the capacity requirements contained in such forecast.

(c) FoundryCo agrees to make a good faith effort to provide additional capacity to meet AMD requirements in excess of the capacity allocated to AMD pursuant to this Section 5.1 and Section 2.2; provided, however, that FoundryCo shall not be required to reallocate any capacity that has been committed to its other customers.

5.2 GPU Products. AMD shall provide FoundryCo, in writing and updated on a monthly basis, a rolling [****] month forecast of its Forecasted GPU Wafer Demand on a Product by Product basis, identified by specific technology and Process Node for the GPU Products listed.

5.4 Cost Allocation Principles.

(a) The cost allocations set forth in Exhibit A are based on the assumption that in the early years of this Agreement following the Effective Date, AMD will likely be the primary customer of FoundryCo, and that it will take time for FoundryCo to establish additional customers to fill capacity at its facilities not used to manufacture Products on behalf of AMD. However, subject to Section 2.2, FoundryCo agrees (i) to make a good faith effort to fill any capacity at its facilities allocated to AMD that is not required to meet FoundryCo’s supply commitments under this Agreement by providing foundry services to additional customers and (ii) to offset AMD’s obligations to [****] FoundryCo’s [****] for such capacity by the [****] of such capacity FoundryCo uses to manufacture products for third party customers.

(b) In addition, subject to Section 2.2, if AMD notifies FoundryCo in writing that despite the binding MPU Product forecast AMD issued pursuant to Section 5.1 above, AMD’s actual requirements for MPU Product

production will be less than initially forecasted for the applicable Binding Forecast Period, FoundryCo agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to find customers to fill the unneeded capacity and to the extent that FoundryCo does engage alternative customers to fill such capacity no longer needed by AMD, then FoundryCo agrees not to charge AMD for the forecasted, but no longer necessary, capacity for which FoundryCo has found alternative purchasers, provided that the price paid by such alternative purchasers is equal to or greater than the purchase price for the MPU Products to have been manufactured for AMD pursuant to the applicable forecast.

(c) The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to work together to reduce fixed costs and Product production costs, including by improving Yields.

5.5 Purchase Orders.

(a) AMD will purchase Products from FoundryCo Sales Entities pursuant to valid purchase orders referencing this Agreement that specify the purchase order number, type and quantity of Products ordered, the applicable price for such Products, the place(s) of delivery, and required delivery date(s). Purchase orders may take the form of electronic submissions in a mutually-acceptable format (including submissions currently referred to by AMD as “B+B+B files”) so long as they contain the same information specified above for purchase orders, even if such submissions may not be referred to specifically as “purchase orders” when transmitted. The applicable FoundryCo Sales Entity shall provide written order acknowledgements by confirmed facsimile, electronic transmission, or other mutually-agreed means as soon as reasonably practicable; provided that such purchase orders shall not be binding until accepted in writing by the applicable FoundryCo Sales Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no FoundryCo Sales Entity may reject an MPU Product purchase order submitted in accordance with Binding Forecasts and Lead Times, and will not unreasonably delay purchase order acknowledgments or unreasonably reject purchase orders submitted in accordance with applicable forecasts and Lead Times for all other Products. In the event of any discrepancy between any pre-printed terms on a purchase order or sales acknowledgment form or notice and the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail and any different or additional terms shall be deemed rejected.

(b) Minimum Batch Sizes for Production Wafers shall be determined by FoundryCo on a commercially reasonable basis. Lead Times will be determined by the parties on a Product-by-Product basis. Lead Times shall take into account manufacturing process cycle times, capacity commitment times, materials ordering times, and the like.

5.6 Acceleration. It is anticipated that from time to time there may be instances where an accelerated lead and cycle time is required to serve the needs of AMD. AMD shall have the right to request change orders to existing purchase orders to accelerate production and delivery of specified Products by providing written notice to FoundryCo prior to the delivery of the Products impacted by such change order and FoundryCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet such request; provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, such lot acceleration shall be limited to [****] percent ([****]%) of AMD’s [****] at [****].

5.7 Cancellations. Subject to AMD’s purchase volume commitments set forth in this Agreement, including the MPU Product purchase requirements set forth in Section 5.1, AMD may cancel any purchase order or portion thereof for Products, without charge, upon [****] days advance written notice to FoundryCo prior to the applicable Wafer Start date. If AMD provides notice of cancellation on or after the applicable Wafer Start date for a Product order, then AMD agrees to pay FoundryCo all verified, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, per a mutually-agreed scrap calculation as further described in Exhibit F, for raw materials and work in process incurred by FoundryCo for the ordered Products under the cancelled purchase order, provided that such raw materials and work in process may not be reasonably used by FoundryCo in fulfilling subsequent purchase orders.

5.8 Lot Splits and Lot Holds. The parties agree to work in good faith with respect to any lot splits and lot holds requested by AMD; provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, no lot hold may extend for a period exceeding [****] days and the total number of Wafers on hold cannot exceed [****] percent ([****]%) of total work in process for AMD.

5.9 Reticle Holds. FoundryCo agrees to retain reticles for Products for at least [****] months following the last applicable Product delivery for the applicable reticle. At the end of such [****] month period, upon agreement by the parties, FoundryCo may return such reticles to AMD at AMD’s expense if no applicable Product has been forecasted by AMD.

5.10 Product End of Life Procedures. If AMD decides that it will no longer offer for sale and sell a particular Product, AMD will give FoundryCo reasonable prior written notice, and the parties will mutually agree upon and implement an end of life process for the applicable Products, including any Wafers specific to that Product that may still be on hold in accordance with Section 5.8 above.

15.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

15.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Master Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

15.7 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other parties hereto (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such parties (provided that USOpCo shall have no such consent right)) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that FoundryCo may assign or delegate all or some of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its subsidiaries, including USOpCo, any other applicable FoundryCo Sales Entity, or any FoundryCo Manufacturing Entity, without any such consent if FoundryCo guarantees the performance of the obligations that have been so assigned or delegated. Subject to the foregoing obligation by FoundryCo to guarantee USOpCo’s performance and any other FoundryCo designee’s or assignee’s performance, the parties acknowledge that FoundryCo will assign or delegate all or some of such rights hereunder, directly or indirectly, to USOpCo with respect to U.S. sales activities pursuant to one or more intercompany agreements to be entered into on the date hereof by FoundryCo (with copies provided to AMD). Without limiting FoundryCo’s guarantee of performance pursuant to this Section 15.7, the parties intend that FoundryCo shall assign or delegate all such rights and obligations, directly or indirectly, to USOpCo to the extent the retention of such rights or obligations could give rise to income to FoundryCo that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States within the meaning of Section 864 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

15.8 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each party hereto or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 15.9.

15.9 Waiver. Any party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other parties or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

15.10 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Section 10 relating to indemnified parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and delegates and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person, including any union or any employee or former employee of any party, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

15.11 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without regard to conflict of law principles.

(b) Any dispute arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any question regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), shall be referred, upon written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) given by one party to the other parties, to a senior executive from each party. The senior executives shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received.

(c) Any Dispute not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received shall be referred to, and shall be finally and exclusively resolved by, arbitration under the LCIA Rules then in effect, as amended by this Section 15.11, which LCIA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 15.11. The seat, or legal place, of the arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be three. Each party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two arbitrators nominated by the parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree upon and nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as Chairman of the Tribunal. If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the LCIA Court shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as Chairman of the Tribunal. The Chairman of the arbitration panel should not be a citizen or a resident of the country of an arbitrator nominated by, or appointed on behalf of, a party nor should the Chairman be a citizen or a resident of the United States of America or the United Arab Emirates. It is hereby expressly agreed that if there is more than one claimant party or more than one respondent party, the claimant parties shall together nominate one arbitrator and the respondent parties shall together nominate one arbitrator. In the event that a sole claimant or the claimant parties, on the one side, or a sole respondent or the respondent parties, on the other side, fails to nominate its/their arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. Any award issued by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties, and, subject to this Section 15.11, may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by any of the parties. In the event any party subject to such final and binding award desires to have it confirmed by a final order of a court, the only court which may do so shall be a court of

competent jurisdiction located in London, England; provided however, that nothing in this sentence shall prejudice or prevent a party from enforcing the arbitrators’ final and binding award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement could give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that, prior to the formation of the Tribunal, the parties have the right to apply exclusively to any court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial authority located in London, England for interim or conservatory measures, including, without limitation, to compel arbitration (an “Interim Relief Proceeding”). Furthermore, the parties agree that, after the formation of the Tribunal, the arbitrators shall have the sole and exclusive power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and any then pending Interim Relief Proceeding shall be discontinued without prejudice to the rights of any of the parties thereto. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators pursuant to the terms hereof, the arbitrators’ expenses shall be shared equally by the parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to: (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England in relation to any Interim Relief Proceeding and; (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England with respect to the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered in accordance with this Section 15.11; and, with respect to any such suit, action or proceeding, waives any objection that it may have to the courts of England located in London, England on the grounds of inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Agreement, the whole of its award shall be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement, as the case may be (and judgment on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 15.11).

(d) The parties hereto agree that the process by which any arbitral or other proceedings in London, England are begun may be served on them by being delivered to Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited or their registered offices for the time being and by giving notice in accordance with Section 15.4. If Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process in England on any party’s behalf, such party shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. If within fifteen (15) days of notice from a party requiring another party to appoint a person in England to accept service of process on its behalf the other party fails to do so, the party shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice to the other party. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

15.12 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and that each party hereto has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

15.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

WHEREFORE, the parties have signed this Wafer Supply Agreement effective as of the date first set forth above.

EXHIBIT B: [****] PROCESS

Subject to Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement, AMD will continually provide FoundryCo with the opportunity to respond to GPU Product business opportunities and Other Future Product business opportunities. AMD agrees to invite FoundryCo to participate in the RFQ process for any and all GPU Products and Other Future Products that are being developed within AMD (including the first tape-out of such GPU Product or Other Future Product) that could potentially be manufactured at FoundryCo.

AMD agrees to share present and future product requirements with FoundryCo so that FoundryCo can adequately respond to any RFQ requests coming from AMD. This will be accomplished through Quarterly Technical Reviews and Quarterly Business Reviews.

In the process of awarding business to FoundryCo, AMD will execute a benchmarking process on a product-by-product basis across a number of potential foundry partners (including FoundryCo), covering AMD’s technical requirements and design system requirements, along with commercial terms. This benchmarking process can occur at any point in time and may or may not be coincident with the QTR or QBR meetings already occurring. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this benchmarking process shall not be undertaken by AMD with regards to MPU Products.

Subject to Section 2.1(c), in the event that FoundryCo has a [****], as determined by AMD, FoundryCo will be selected as the foundry partner for the development and production of that particular product. In the event that FoundryCo’s offer is equivalent to the [****] of another foundry partner, as determined by AMD, FoundryCo will be selected as the foundry partner for the development and production of that particular product.

In the event that after an initial review of the available bids, AMD determines that FoundryCo’s [****] is [****], AMD agrees to [****] a [****] with FoundryCo not to exceed [****] and to work collaboratively with FoundryCo during such [****] to attempt to [****] any [****] in the [****] to make the [****]. AMD also agrees that, at the point that AMD engages with FoundryCo on this [****] process, AMD will [****] with [****] to assist [****] in the [****] of their [****]. This [****] may be [****] at AMD’s discretion.

After this [****], and subject to Section 2.1(c), if FoundryCo’s offer becomes [****], as determined by AMD, AMD will select FoundryCo as the foundry partner for the development and production of that particular product.

In the event that, after this [****], AMD determines that FoundryCo’s offer is [****], AMD is free to select another foundry partner as the foundry partner for the development of that particular product and will continue to [****] in [****] to assist FoundryCo in [****] its [****] such that FoundryCo will be more likely to [****] for future AMD [****].

EXHIBIT C: CAPACITY COMMITMENTS

As described in Section 5 of this Agreement, AMD will provide to FoundryCo, on a monthly basis, a rolling [****] month wafer forecast for MPU Products, a rolling [****] month wafer forecast for GPU Products, and a rolling [****] month forecast for Embedded Products.

For those Products other than MPU Products for which FoundryCo has received, and agreed to, purchase orders from AMD in accordance with Section 5.5, FoundryCo agrees to provide adequate capacity to produce such Products. In addition, FoundryCo agrees to allocate capacity to AMD as described in Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

For Embedded Products, so long as AMD gives FoundryCo commercially viable volume, FoundryCo agrees to maintain the process and equipment set required to manufacture these products for a period of [****] years, or if earlier, until the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The [****] year duration is measured from the qualification date of each specific Embedded Product and any extensions to the [****] year duration will be negotiated in good faith between AMD and FoundryCo.

For GPU Products, the Forecasted GPU Wafer Demand will be calculated on a monthly basis along with the Forecasted Total GPU Wafer Demand. The Forecasted GPU Wafer Demand Percentage will then be reviewed monthly as part of the Partnership Committee meeting as well as reviewed quarterly as part of the Quarterly Business Review. The Forecasted GPU Wafer Demand Percentage will be calculated based on the [****] fiscal months following and including the month that the Forecasted GPU Wafer Demand Percentage is shared with FoundryCo.

Also for GPU Products, the Actual Quarterly GPU Wafers Shipped will be calculated on a quarterly basis, along with the Actual Quarterly Total GPU Wafer Demand. The Actual Quarterly GPU Wafer Demand Percentage will then be reviewed with FoundryCo as part of the Quarterly Business Review. The Actual Quarterly GPU Wafer Demand Percentage will be calculated based on the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the date that the Actual Quarterly GPU Wafer Demand Percentage is shared with FoundryCo.

FoundryCo and AMD jointly agree that if, at any time, either the Forecasted GPU Wafer Demand Percentage or the Actual Quarterly GPU Wafer Demand Percentage falls below the designated levels as described in Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement that both companies will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the percentage levels to their agreed upon values.

EXHIBIT D: TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The technical information that AMD may request from FoundryCo may include:

•

SPICE models of varying degrees of accuracy, in concert with the state of process development at FoundryCo

•

Various EDA tools support files (for example, SDK’s and PDK’s)

•

lot status update reports

•

Defect density trends on a per-fab basis for any technologies that are being used by AMD

•

WIP status updates on all Products

•

Yield status update on all Products

•

Wafer sort data

•

Inline trend charts for key process modules

•

Inline data for specific process modules

•

Process failure analysis timetables and reports, as necessary

•

Detailed explanation and sharing of all relevant data for significant fab excursions

•

Any qualification reports for technology and technology options (process qual, eFuse qual etc…)

EXHIBIT E: RMA PROCESS

IN GENERAL

Wafers that sort to less than the RMA Threshold may not be scrapped without providing AMD with prior written notice and shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Exhibit F. FoundryCo must, at AMD’s option, either credit the amounts paid for the rejected Wafers or replace the defective Wafers as set forth in this Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable.

FoundryCo shall bear all packing, transportation, insurance and other costs incurred in connection with the return and replacement of defective Products. For MPU Products, in no event may FoundryCo charge AMD for replacement Wafers pursuant to this Exhibit E.

For all Wafers whose Yields fall below the RMA Threshold, FoundryCo will provide a credit or will deliver additional Wafers for the affected Products to make up for the shortfall of good Die in a manner to be determined by the Partnership Committee.

EPIDEMIC FAILURE

If an Epidemic Failure occurs, or if FoundryCo or AMD believes it may be necessary to conduct a Recall, the parties will work together to promptly diagnose the problem resulting in an Epidemic Failure or requiring the Recall and establish a corrective action plan to fix the problem with the affected Products and to implement such plan immediately upon the parties’ agreement regarding the corrective action plan. If the parties cannot promptly agree upon a corrective action plan, the corrective action plan will be submitted to the Partnership Committee for resolution, or if the Partnership Committee cannot resolve the issue promptly, the parties will escalate the issue for resolution as set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

In the event of any Recall required due to (i) a manufacturing error, (ii) a breach of this Agreement by FoundryCo, or (iii) negligence or willful misconduct by FoundryCo, FoundryCo shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement: (a) replace the affected Products; or credit amounts previously paid by AMD for the affected Products against future payment obligations of AMD; and (b) reimburse (or at the election of AMD, credit) AMD for the actual costs and expenses incurred by AMD in respect of such recalled Products. Any Recall required because of a negligent act or omission in the additional manufacturing or testing, handling, storage, marketing, promotion, sale or distribution of Products, or as a result of AMD’s designs or Specifications, or other breach of this Agreement by AMD shall be at AMD’s sole expense.

EXHIBIT F: PRODUCT SCRAPPING PROCESS

Product scrapping occurs when the manufacturing of a Product is discontinued before the Product has completed all of its processing steps in the facility.

Product scrapping can be requested by FoundryCo only if the manufacturing process has fallen out of Specification and the delivered Products are expected to not meet the desired performance range or Yield. In this occurrence, the Partnership Committee will review the factory performance excursion and AMD will decide if the Product should be scrapped. If the decision is for such Product to be scrapped, at AMD’s request, FoundryCo shall replace the affected Products or credit amounts previously paid by AMD for the affected Products against future payment obligations of AMD. In the event that AMD elects to run Products that are known to be out of Specification through the complete fabrication process, these Products will be taken from FoundryCo “AS IS”, without any warranty of any kind, and there will be no RMA or profit-sharing variances performed on the purchase order value of those scrapped Products with FoundryCo.

In addition, AMD can request Product scrapping on a case-by-case basis at AMD’s discretion. There is no limit to the number of Products that AMD can request to be scrapped. In the event that AMD requests Products to be scrapped, the Products will immediately be put on-hold at FoundryCo and an assessment will be made of where in the process the Products to be scrapped are located. The location in the process is defined by the last numerical masking step that the Products to be scrapped have been subjected to. For instance, if FoundryCo is running a process with 50 masking steps, and AMD requests a lot of Products to be scrapped, and those Products have been determined to have passed masking step 36 but have not yet passed masking step 37, the location in the process is defined as masking step 36.

In the event that AMD requests FoundryCo to scrap Products, AMD will render partial payment for the scrapped Products to FoundryCo relative to where in the process those scrapped Products are located. Using the example above, if a Product is requested by AMD to be scrapped, and the Product is determined to be at masking step 35 out of total of 50 masking steps in the technology, the Raw Wafer Cost was $200, and the Wafer Price of the Product was $1000, the scrap cost is calculated as

[Wafer Price – Raw Wafer Cost] x [percentage of total mask levels fabricated] + Raw Wafer Cost, which would be calculated as ($1000 – $200) x (35/50) + $200 which equals $760.

It is AMD’s decision whether the scrap cost is rendered to FoundryCo as an adjustment of the original purchase order pricing or through a credit note to FoundryCo, or though some other means.

EXHIBIT G: MANUFACTURING PROCESS QUALIFICATION PROCEDURES

Process Qualification Requirements will be reviewed on a Product-by-Product basis. In the situation where FoundryCo is making a technology offering that is not yet Qualified (for instance, in the early stages of the development of a new technology node), the parties will discuss and agree upon Specifications, the process technology to be employed, and the allowable variations in each of the following evaluation areas during the development and production phases of that technology or a specific Product.

The areas of evaluation will include at least the following:

1. Die pricing. The die pricing is calculated from the Wafer Pricing, gross die per (GDPW), and Yield.

2. Yields. AMD and FoundryCo will agree on a consistent manner in which Target Yield predictions will be made and may also monitor other parameters (such as defect densities) that are used in the calculation of Yield.

3. Alignment with 3^rd party assembly houses. The manufacturing process performed by FoundryCo will adhere to the applicable sections of the Specifications that address AMD’s need to take the Wafers manufactured by FoundryCo through the die assembly process within industry acceptable quality levels.

4. Wafer-in-process Monitoring. For each process, FoundryCo must provide the ability for AMD to continuously monitor the position of Wafer orders as they progress through the FoundryCo manufacturing processes. It is expected that, starting in [****], this ability will be rendered from FoundryCo to AMD through a secure internet portal. Until the internet portal is available, FoundryCo will provide Wafer monitoring reports consistent with Exhibit D at a frequency to be agreed upon by the parties.

5. Product Life Test Procedures. AMD will perform product life tests on Products delivered from FoundryCo and will run tests including but not limited to short-term life, long-term life, and HAST (Highly Accelerated Stress Tests). The successful completion of these product life tests will be a gating item for the release of the Product to volume production at FoundryCo.

EXHIBIT H: RETICLES/MASK

Upon request from AMD, FoundryCo shall provide mask manufacturing services to AMD, including mask data prep, at [****]. As of the Effective Date, FoundryCo shall provide mask data prep services to AMD utilizing hardware and software owned or leased by AMD. The parties agree to secure alternative hardware and software going forward. AMD acknowledges that for each new technology, mask manufacturing research and development and mask data prep may require AMD-specific [****] that will be deemed to be AMD-Specific [****] pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Any additional mask sets required specifically (a) for FoundryCo in connection with its technology learning, (b) for process changes introduced by FoundryCo, (c) for replacements by FoundryCo to account for normal wear and tear or (d) to enable FoundryCo to manufacture a particular Product at more than one FoundryCo location, will be at FoundryCo’s expense. AMD acknowledges that for the purpose of MPU Product pricing, mask costs may become part of the AMD MPU Specific [****].

Any new masks required by (a) design or Specification changes, (b) design learning desired by AMD, (c) process changes requested by AMD or (d) second sourcing requested by AMD or its customers will be paid by AMD at [****].

AMD and FoundryCo shall mutually agree on mask suppliers for the purpose of meeting all the required technical criteria at reasonable cost and fulfilling the [****] obligations in the Advanced Mask Technology Center. The parties acknowledge that for initial designs at each new technology node or at each process within a technology node, AMD may request, and FoundryCo may reasonably consider, early adopter incentives that may include discounted engineering, prototyping or production mask sets to AMD.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that Pearl, or its registered permitted assigns (“Warrantholder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from the Company 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (such number of shares, as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price per share of $0.01 (such purchase price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Warrant Price”), at any time or from time to time not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on [ ], 201[8]. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2008, by and among the Company, Oyster and the other parties thereto (the “Master Transaction Agreement”). Terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Master Transaction Agreement.

1. Exercise. This Warrant shall be exercisable in whole or in part at the option of the Warrantholder at any time or from time to time after the earlier of (i) public ground-breaking of Fab 4x and (ii) 24 months from the date of its issuance; provided, however, that upon any transaction or series of transactions with or among any Third Person, on the one hand, and the Company, its stockholders, or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, with respect to (A) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction shall own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after such transaction, (B) any purchase of an equity interest (including by means of a tender or exchange offer) resulting in any Third Person beneficially owning greater than a fifty percent (50%) voting or economic interest in the Company, or (C) any purchase of assets, securities or ownership interests resulting in any Third Person owning greater than fifty percent (50%) of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (including stock of the Company’s Subsidiaries) (each, a “Fundamental Change Transaction”), this Warrant shall become immediately exercisable and shall automatically be exercised through a Cashless Exercise (as defined below).

2. Manner of Exercise. (a) To exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof, the Warrantholder shall surrender this Warrant, together with the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the Company at its principal executive office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate) and by having canceled a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Warrant Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no surrender of this Warrant or the Warrant exercise form shall be required in connection with the automatic exercise of this Warrant upon a Fundamental Change Transaction. In the case of an automatic exercise upon a Fundamental Change Transaction, this Warrant shall automatically be exercised through a Cashless Exercise, and the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder the maximum number of Warrant Shares

purchasable under this Warrant through a Cashless Exercise. The number of Warrant Shares issued to the Warrantholder upon a Cashless Exercise shall be determined according to the following formula:


X	=	Y(A – B)
		A


Where:	X	=	the number of Warrant Shares that shall be issued to the Warrantholder;

	Y	=	the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Warrantholder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Warrant Price);

	A	=	the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock; and

	B	=	the Warrant Price then in effect under this Warrant.

“Fair Market Value” as of the Exercise Date (as defined below) shall mean the following: (1) if the Common Stock is then listed on the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Exercise Date; (2) if the Common Stock is then traded over-the-counter, but not on the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending immediately prior to the Exercise Date; or (3) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange and is not then traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) and the Warrantholder. The Board of Directors shall respond promptly, in writing, to any inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors and the Warrantholder are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, such Fair Market Value shall be determined by an independent appraiser experienced in valuing securities jointly selected by the Board of Directors and the Warrantholder. The determination of the appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such appraiser.

(b) Exercise Date. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in this Section 2 or, in the case of an automatic exercise of this Warrant upon a Fundamental Change Transaction, immediately prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change Transaction (the “Exercise Date”). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 2(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

(c) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within five business days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Warrantholder, or as the Warrantholder (upon payment by the Warrantholder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 4 hereof; and

(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was so exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Warrantholder pursuant to such partial exercise and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Warrant Price).

3. Adjustments. The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first issued (or, if any Warrant was issued upon partial exercise of, or in replacement of, another warrant of like tenor, then the date on which such original warrant was first issued) (either such date being referred to as the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b) Adjustment for Dividends and Distributions in Common Stock. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive an additional number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise that such holder would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(c) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property, then and in each such event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Value (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on the date of such event, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock less the fair market value (as determined in the reasonable good faith discretion of the Board of Directors) of such securities, cash or other property to be distributed with respect to each share of Common Stock on the date of such event. “Current Market Value” shall mean the average of the daily closing prices on the New York Stock Exchange of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding such event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(d) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or Subdivision. If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above), then and in each such event the holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(e) Adjustment in Warrant Price. Upon each adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Price for such Warrant shall be adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.

(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or of the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Warrantholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Warrant Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of the Warrantholder (but in any event not later than ten days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to the Warrantholder a certificate setting forth (i) the Warrant Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall pay the value thereof to the Warrantholder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 2(a) above.

5. Company Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, when issued and paid for pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens, encumbrances, charges, taxes (other than any applicable transfer taxes) or preemptive rights. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares and other securities, cash and/or property, as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

6. Transfers, etc

(a) Until such time as Pearl (together with any Permitted Transferees to whom Pearl has transferred beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of Discovery) shall beneficially own (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange At of 1934, as amended), in the aggregate, less than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock of Discovery then outstanding, regardless of whether Pearl is an “affiliate” of Discovery (as defined in Rule 144(a)(1), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), the Warrantholder may only resell this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (i) in connection with a bona fide pledge or other hypothecation or transfer in connection with a financing transaction secured by a pledge of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, (ii) by means of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder shall be permitted to

transfer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to any of its Affiliates (as defined below); provided, however, that if Pearl is the Warrantholder, then Pearl shall be permitted to transfer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to any of its Permitted Transferees. In addition, this Warrant or the Warrant Shares shall be transferable, in compliance with securities laws, at any time that Pearl beneficially owns less than 10% of the Common Stock of Discovery then outstanding. With respect to transfers that are made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, the rights and obligations of a Warrantholder hereunder shall be automatically assigned by such Warrantholder to any transferee of the Warrantholder’s securities (including the Warrant Shares); provided, however, that (i) the Company is provided written notice of the transfer including the name and address of the transferee and the number of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, to be transferred; and (ii) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant as if such transferee were the Warrantholder. Upon any transfer permitted by this Section 6, the Company shall be obligated to such transferee to perform all of its covenants under this Warrant as if such transferee was the Warrantholder upon receipt of (i) and (ii) of the prior sentence. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such specified Person; provided, however, that with respect to Oyster and Pearl, Affiliate shall mean any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Oyster or Pearl, respectively, and not any direct or indirect parent or sister entity of either Oyster or Pearl, as the case may be, unless such parent or sister entity is acting as a member of a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with Oyster or Pearl, respectively, for the purposes of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities of Discovery.

(b) The Company will maintain a register containing the name and address of the Warrantholder. The Warrantholder may change its address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company (or, if another office or agency has been designated by the Company for such purpose, then at such other office or agency).

7. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times will take all action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

8. Notices of Record date, etc. In the event:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right; or

(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation, merger, recapitalization or similar business combination of the Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation, merger, recapitalization or similar business combination in which the Company is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or exchanged for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

then, and in each such case, the Company will send or cause to be sent to the Warrantholder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, recapitalization, similar business combination, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding—up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, recapitalization, similar business combination, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding—up. Such notice shall be sent at least 30 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

9. Exchange or replacement of warrants.

(a) Upon the surrender of this Warrant by the Warrantholder, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Warrantholder, at the Company’s expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Warrantholder or as the Warrantholder (upon payment by the Warrantholder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto if requested by the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, by facsimile, or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10):

if to the Company, at its address at [ ], Fax: [ ], Attention: [ ];

if to the Warrantholder, at its address at [ ], Fax: [ ], Attention: [ ].

If the Company should at any time change the location of its principal office to a place other than as set forth above, it shall give prompt notice to the Warrantholder and thereafter all references in this Warrant to the location of its principal office at the particular time shall be as so specified in such notice.

11. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.

12. Amendment or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder. No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

13. Successors. Subject to Section 6, the terms of this Warrant shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company or of the Warrantholder.

14. Section Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the contractual obligations of the parties.

15. Governing Law; Arbitration.

(a) This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without regard to principles of the conflict of laws.

(b) Any dispute arising out of, or in connection with this Warrant or any transactions contemplated hereby, including any question regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Warrant (a “Dispute”), shall be referred, upon written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) given by one party to the other(s), to a senior executive from each party. The senior executives shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received.

(c) Any Dispute not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Dispute Notice being received shall be referred to, and shall be finally and exclusively resolved by, arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “LCIA Rules”) then in effect, as amended by this Section 15, which LCIA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 15. The seat, or legal place, of the arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be three. Each party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two arbitrators nominated by the parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree upon and nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as Chairman of the Tribunal (as such terms are defined in the LCIA Rules). If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the LCIA Court (as such term is defined in the LCIA Rules) shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as Chairman of the Tribunal. The Chairman of the arbitration panel should not be a citizen or a resident of the country of an arbitrator nominated by, or appointed on behalf of, a party nor should the Chairman be a citizen or a resident of the United States of America or the United Arab Emirates. It is hereby expressly agreed that if there is more than one claimant party or more than one respondent party, the claimant parties shall together nominate one arbitrator and the respondent parties shall together nominate one arbitrator. In the event that a sole claimant or the claimant parties, on the one side, or a sole respondent or the respondent parties, on the other side, fails to nominate its/their arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. Any award issued by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties, and, subject to this Section 15(c) and to Section 15(d), may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by any of the parties. In the event any party subject to such final and binding award desires to have it confirmed by a final order of a court, the only court which may do so shall be a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England; provided however, that nothing in this sentence shall prejudice or prevent a party from enforcing the arbitrators’ final and binding award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Warrant could give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that, prior to the formation of the Tribunal, the parties have the right to apply exclusively to any court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial authority located in London, England for interim or conservatory measures, including, without limitation, to compel arbitration (an “Interim Relief Proceeding”). Furthermore, the parties agree that, after the formation of the Tribunal, the arbitrators shall have the sole and exclusive power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and any then pending Interim Relief Proceeding shall be discontinued without prejudice to the rights of any of the parties thereto. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators pursuant to the terms hereof, the arbitrators’ expenses shall be shared equally by the parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to: (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England in relation to any Interim Relief Proceeding and; (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England located in London, England with respect to the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered in accordance with this Section 15; and, with respect to any such suit, action or proceeding, waives any objection that it may have to the courts of England located in London, England on the grounds of inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, where an arbitral tribunal is appointed under this Warrant, the whole of its award shall be deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Warrant (and judgment on any such award may be entered in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 15).

(d) Pearl hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law whatever defense it may have of sovereign immunity against suit or enforcement, for itself and its property (presently owned or subsequently acquired, and whether related to this Warrant or not), in: (i) any arbitration proceedings commenced and held in London, England in accordance with Section 15(c); (ii) any Interim Relief Proceeding commenced and held in a court of competent jurisdiction in London, England, in accordance with Section 15(c); (iii) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction located in London, England to confirm an award rendered by the arbitrators in accordance with this Section 15; and (iv) any proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce an award, and Pearl agrees that it will not raise, claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding.

(e) The parties hereto agree that the process by which any arbitral or other proceedings in London, England are begun may be served on them by being delivered to Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited or their registered offices for the time being and by giving notice in accordance with Section 10. If Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process in England on any party’s behalf, such party shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. If within fifteen (15) days of notice from a party requiring another party to appoint a person in England to accept service of process on its behalf the other party fails to do so, the party shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice to the other party. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Exhibit G

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and long-term debt. We usually invest our cash in investments with short maturities or with frequent interest reset terms. Accordingly, our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions. As of December 29, 2007, substantially all of our investments in our portfolio were highly liquid investments and consisted primarily of bank notes, short-term corporate notes, money market auction rate preferred stocks and short-term federal agency notes.

In April 2007, we issued $2.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Notes. The 6.00% Notes bear interest at 6.00% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning November 1, 2007 until the maturity date of May 1, 2015 unless the 6.00% Notes are repurchased or converted prior to the maturity date. We used $500 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under our October 2006 Term Loan. As a result of this partial repayment, the margin on the interest rate for the October 2006 Term Loan was reduced from 2.25 percent to 2.00 percent. Of the remaining net proceeds, approximately $1.5 billion was invested in investments with short maturities or with frequent interest reset terms and $182 million was used to purchase a capped call associated with the sale and issuance of our 6.00% Notes.

In August 2007, we issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes. The 5.75% Notes bear interest at 5.75% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning February 15, 2008 until the maturity date of August 15, 2012 unless the 5.75% Notes are repurchased or

converted prior to the maturity date. We used all of the net proceeds, together with available cash, to repay in full the outstanding balance of the October 2006 Term Loan.

With the full repayment of the October 2006 Term Loan, we replaced a substantial amount of our floating interest rate debt with fixed interest rate debt. Accordingly, our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates on reported interest expense and corresponding cash flows has decreased.

We will continue to monitor our exposure to interest rate risk.

Default Risk. We mitigate default risk in our investment portfolio by investing in only the highest credit quality securities and by constantly positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. We are averse to principal loss and strive to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk and market risk. At this point in time, we believe the current credit market difficulties do not have a material impact on our financial position. However, a future degradation in credit market conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

With the exception of the October 2006 Term Loan, which was used to fund a portion of the ATI acquisition, we generally use proceeds from borrowings primarily for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital needs.

The following table presents the cost basis, fair value and related weighted-average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio and debt obligations as of December 29, 2007:

Foreign Exchange Risk. As of December 29, 2007, as a result of our foreign operations, we had costs, assets and liabilities that were denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the euro and Canadian dollar. For example, some fixed asset purchases and certain expenses of our German subsidiaries, AMD Saxony and AMD Fab 36 KG, are denominated in euros while sales of products are denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, as a result of our acquisition of ATI in October 2006, some of our expenses and debt are denominated in Canadian dollars.

As a consequence, movements in exchange rates could cause our foreign currency denominated expenses to increase as a percentage of net revenue, affecting our profitability and cash flows. We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce our exposure to currency fluctuations on our foreign currency exposures. The objective of these contracts is to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our operating results and on the cost of capital asset acquisitions. Our accounting policy for these instruments is based on our designation of such instruments as hedges of underlying exposure to variability in cash flows. We do not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

Unrealized gains and losses related to the foreign currency forward and option contracts for the year ended December 29, 2007 were not material. We do not anticipate any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows resulting from the use of these instruments in the future. However, we cannot give any assurance that these strategies will be effective or that transaction losses can be minimized or forecasted accurately. In particular, generally we hedge only a portion of our foreign currency exchange exposure. Moreover, we determine our total foreign currency exchange exposure using projections of long-term expenditures for items such as payroll, equipment and materials used in manufacturing. We cannot assure you that our hedging activities will eliminate foreign exchange rate exposure. Failure to do so could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006. All of our foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts mature within 12 months.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or AMD) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the interim period ended September 27, 2008 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 27, 2008. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company has reclassified certain amounts previously reported in its financial statements to conform to the current presentation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.

The Company uses a 52-to-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. The quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 each consisted of 13 and 39 weeks.

As a result of the Company’s evaluation of the viability of its non-core businesses in the second quarter of 2008, the Company determined that its Handheld and Digital Television business units are not directly aligned with its core strategy of computing and graphics market opportunities. Therefore, the Company decided to divest these business units, which were previously part of the Consumer Electronics segment, and to classify them as discontinued operations in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (SFAS 144). Cash flows from discontinued operations are not material and are combined with cash flows from continuing operations within condensed consolidated statement of cash flows categories. (See Note 12)

The assets and liabilities of these businesses are reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007. The historical results of operations of these businesses have been segregated from the Company’s continuing operations and are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation including discontinued operations.

Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated and amounts pertaining to the non-controlling ownership interests held by third parties in the operating results and financial position of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries are reported as minority interest.

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). This statement does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies the fair value definition, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 input), then to quoted prices (in non-active markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are not directly observable, but that are corroborated by observable market data for the asset or liability (Level 2 input), then the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, for example, the Company’s own data about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (Level 3 input). It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and a fair value measurement should therefore be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on December 30, 2007, the first day of its fiscal year 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-1 to exclude SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions from the scope of FAS 157. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2 to defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually, which are deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In order to determine the implications of adopting SFAS 157, the Company reviewed all the assets and liabilities recorded on its balance sheet. Based on the results of its review, the Company determined that a majority of its assets and liabilities are either not required to be measured at fair value in its financial statements, are outside the scope of SFAS 157, or are subject to the deferred implementation provisions of FSP No. 157-2. Therefore, the only assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements subject to SFAS 157 (i.e. measured at fair value on a recurring basis) at September 27, 2008 and December 30, 2007 are the Company’s investment portfolio and derivative contracts.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company will adopt SFAS 161 in the first quarter of 2009. Since SFAS 161 requires additional disclosures concerning derivatives and hedging activities, adoption of SFAS 161 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of SFAS 161 will change the Company’s disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB No. 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). This FSP requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The effective date of this FSP is for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years and it does not permit earlier application. However, the transition guidance requires retroactive application to all periods presented. This FSP will impact the Company’s accounting for its $2.2 billion 6.00% Notes whereby the equity component would be included in the paid-in-capital portion of stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet and the value of the equity component would be treated as an original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component. Higher interest expense will result by recognizing accretion of the discounted carrying value of the 6.00% Notes to their face amount as interest expense over the term of the 6.00% Notes. The Company expects to have higher interest expense beginning in its first quarter of 2009 due to the interest accretion, and the interest expense associated with its 6.00% Notes for prior periods will also be higher than previously reported due to the retrospective application of this FSP. Based on the preliminary analysis performed by the Company, the interest expense associated with its 6.00% Notes will be approximately $17 million, $26 million and $30 million higher for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, as a result of adopting this FSP.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. In particular, it provides additional guidance on (a) how the reporting entity’s own assumptions (that is, expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates) should be considered when measuring fair value when relevant observable inputs do not exist, (b) how available observable inputs in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, and (c) how the use of market quotes (for example, broker quotes or pricing services for the same or similar financial assets) should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable inputs available to measure fair value. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company evaluated this FSP and concluded that its considerations in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial assets when the market for them is not active is consistent with the FSP’s guidance.

2. Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units and employee stock purchases of continuing operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, which was allocated in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2008		September 29, 2007		September 27, 2008		September 29, 2007

Tax benefit		—		—		—		—

Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	18	$	25	$	55	$	81

For each of the quarters ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, employee stock-based compensation expense included in discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations was $2 million. For each of the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, employee stock-based compensation expense included in discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations was $5 million.

Stock Options. The weighted-average assumptions that the Company applied in the lattice-binomial model that the Company uses to value employee stock options are as follows:


	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2008		September 29, 2007		September 27, 2008		September 29, 2007
Expected volatility	67.36	%	60.05	%	65.24	%	52.53	%
Risk-free interest rate	2.71	%	4.33	%	2.67	%	4.58	%
Expected dividends	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%
Expected life (in years)	3.19		3.55		3.19		3.55

For the quarters ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the Company granted 1,528,297 and 704,000 employee stock options, respectively, with average estimated grant date fair values of $2.58 and $5.52. For the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the Company granted 12,083,955 and 2,705,000 employee stock options, respectively, with average estimated grant date fair values of $2.98 and $5.93.

Restricted Stock Units and Awards. For the quarters ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the Company granted 435,928 and 382,000 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units, respectively, with an average grant date fair value of $5.57 and $12.08. For the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the Company granted 7,724,514 and 6,163,000 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units, respectively, with an average grant date fair value of $7.24 and $15.01.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Beginning with the November 2007 purchase period the Company suspended its employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). Therefore, the Company did not issue any shares under the ESPP during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008. The Company issued 1,217,000 shares and 3,063,000 shares under the ESPP during the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007, respectively.

3. Goodwill and Acquisition Related Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the nine month period ended September 27, 2008, were as follows:


	Computing Solutions			Graphics			Consumer Electronics			Total
	(In millions)
Balance at December 29, 2007	$	162		$	533		$	1,212		$	1,907

(1)

In the second quarter of 2008 the Company began to include royalties received in connection with the sale of game console systems within the operating results of the Graphics segment. As a result, the $254 million goodwill associated with the game console business is now included with the Graphics segment. (See Note 5)

(2)

Adjustments to goodwill primarily represented changes in assumed pre-acquisition income tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of ATI Technologies, which will continue to be applied to goodwill until ultimately settled with the tax authorities or until the Company adopts the provisions of Statement No. 141(R) Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, after which changes will be recorded in the statement of operations.

(3)

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company evaluated the viability of its non-core businesses and determined that its Handheld and Digital Television business units were not directly aligned with its core strategy of computing and graphics market opportunities. Therefore, the Company decided to divest these units and classify them as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill and acquired intangible assets and concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill and certain finite-lived intangible assets associated with its Handheld and Digital Television business units were impaired and recorded an impairment charge. The remaining carrying values of goodwill and acquired intangible assets related to these business units were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations. (See Note 12)

The balances of acquisition-related finite-lived intangible assets as of September 27, 2008, were as follows:


	Intangible Assets, Gross December 29, 2007		Net Book Value December 29, 2007		Amortization Expense Nine months ended September 27, 2008			Impairment charge⁽¹⁾			Reclassification to discontinued operations ⁽¹⁾			Net Book Value September 27, 2008		Weighted Average Amortization Period

(1)

As a result of the goodwill impairment test pursuant to which the Company concluded that the carrying values of the goodwill associated with its Handheld and Digital Television business units was impaired, the Company performed an impairment test on the acquisition-related intangible assets associated with these business units. Based on the test results, the Company concluded that carrying amounts of certain acquisition-related finite-lived intangible assets associated with its Handheld and Digital Television business units exceeded their estimated fair values and recorded an impairment charge. In addition, due to the Company’s decision to divest these two business units, the remaining carrying costs of the acquisition-related intangible assets have been reclassified to discontinued operations. (See Note 12)

Estimated future amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets is as follows:


Fiscal year	Amortization expense

4. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Potential dilutive common shares include stock options, restricted stock awards, and shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt. The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share:


	Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended

Potential common shares from outstanding stock awards totaling approximately 62 million along with approximately 75 million of common shares issuable under the Company’s 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively, were not included in the net loss per common share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Potential common shares from outstanding stock awards totaling approximately 55 million along with approximately 75 million of common shares issuable under the Company’s 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007, respectively, were not included in the net loss per common share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

5. Segment Reporting

Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company’s chief executive officer, reviews and assesses operating performance using segment net revenues and operating income (loss) before interest, other income (expense), minority interest, equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other and income taxes. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management’s judgment.

Prior to the second quarter of 2008, the Company had three reportable operating segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which included microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors and related revenue;

•

the Graphics segment, which included graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue; and

•

the Consumer Electronics segment, which included products used in handheld devices, digital televisions and other consumer electronics products, as well as revenue from royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporate the Company’s technology.

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Handheld and Digital Television businesses units, which were previously part of the Consumer Electronics segment. As a result, the Company classified them as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. The CODM began reviewing and assessing operating performance using the following reportable operating segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which includes microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors and related revenue; and

•

the Graphics segment, which includes graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue, as well as revenue from royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporate the Company’s graphics technology.

In addition to the reportable segments, the Company has an All Other category, which is not a reportable segment. This category consists of certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the operating segments because the CODM does not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the operating segments. These expenses and credits include primarily employee stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, integration charges, restructuring charges and charges for goodwill and intangible asset impairment.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s net revenue and operating income (loss) by segment with reconciliations to income (loss) from continuing operations for the quarters ended and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007:

7. Other Long-Term Liabilities

The Company’s other long-term liabilities balances at September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 were $657 million and $633 million, respectively. Included in these balances were deferred grants and subsidies related to the wafer manufacturing facilities in Dresden in the amounts of $389 million and $401 million for September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees

Guarantees of Indebtedness Recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet

As of September 27, 2008, the principal guarantee related to indebtedness recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was for $58 million, which represents the amount of silent partnership contributions that Fab 36 Holding and Fab 36 Admin are required to repurchase from Leipziger Messe GmbH and is exclusive of the guaranteed rate of return obligation aggregating approximately $146 million. Of the $58 million guarantee, $29 million is expected to expire by the end of 2008, and $29 million is expected to expire by the end of 2009.

Guarantees of Indebtedness Not Recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

AMTC and BAC Guarantees

The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC) and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH & Co. KG (BAC) are joint ventures initially formed by AMD, Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon) and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. (Dupont) for the purpose of constructing and operating an advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. The Company procures advanced photomasks from AMTC and uses them in manufacturing its microprocessors. In April 2005, DuPont was acquired by Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toppan, named Toppan Photomasks, Inc. (Toppan). In December 2007, Infineon entered into an assignment agreement to transfer its interest in AMTC and BAC to Qimonda AG (Qimonda), with the exception of certain AMTC/BAC related payment guarantees. The assignment became effective in January 2008.

In December 2002, BAC obtained a $110 million term loan to finance the construction of the photomask facility. At the same time, AMTC and BAC, as lessor, entered into a lease agreement. The term of the lease agreement is ten years. Each joint venture partner guaranteed a specific percentage of AMTC’s rental payments. Pursuant to an agreement between AMTC, BAC and DuPont (now Toppan), AMTC may exercise a “step-in” right, in which it would assume Toppan’s remaining rental payments in connection with the rental agreement between Toppan and BAC. As of September 27, 2008, the Company’s guarantee of AMTC’s portion of the rental obligation was approximately $9 million and its maximum liability in the event AMTC exercises its “step-in” right and the other joint venture partners default under the guarantee was approximately $83 million. These estimates are based upon forecasted rents to be charged in the future and are subject to change based upon the actual usage of the facility by the tenants and foreign currency exchange rates.

In December 2007, AMTC entered into a new $99 million revolving credit facility, of which $82 million was outstanding as of September 27, 2008. The proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under a previous $175 million revolving credit facility and to provide additional financing for the acquisition of new tools. Subject to certain conditions under the revolving credit facility, AMTC may request that the loan amount be increased by an additional $58 million. The term of the revolving credit facility is three years. Upon request by AMTC and subject to certain conditions, the term of the revolving credit facility may be extended by two additional one-year periods. Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, each joint venture partner guaranteed one third of AMTC’s outstanding loan balance under the revolving credit facility. In September 2008, Qimonda provided cash security equal to one third of AMTC’s outstanding loan balance pursuant to a cash pledge agreement and was released from the guarantee agreement. The obligations of the remaining joint venture partners under the guarantee agreement remain the same. As of September 27, 2008, the Company’s potential obligation under this guarantee was $27 million plus its portion of accrued interest and expenses. The Company’s maximum potential liability under this guarantee is $33 million plus its portion of accrued interest and expenses. Under the terms of the guarantee, if the Company’s group consolidated cash (which is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities less the aggregate amount outstanding under any revolving credit facility) is less than or expected to be less than $500 million, the Company will be required to provide cash collateral equal to one third of the balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company evaluated this guarantee under the provisions of FIN 45 and concluded it was immaterial to its financial position or results of operations. In the event the transaction with ATIC (as defined below) is consummated and the approval of the partners and banks are received, the Company’s partnership interests in the AMTC and the BAC will be transferred to The Foundry Company. (See Note 15)

Warranties and Indemnities

The Company generally warrants that microprocessor products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to its approved specifications. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company generally offers a three-year limited warranty to end users for microprocessor products that are commonly referred to as “processors in a box,” a one-year limited warranty to direct purchasers of all other microprocessor products that are commonly referred to as “tray” microprocessor products, and a one-year limited warranty to direct purchasers of embedded processor products. The Company has offered extended limited warranties to certain customers of “tray” microprocessor products who have written agreements with the Company and target their computer systems at the commercial and/or embedded markets.

The Company generally warrants that its graphics, and chipsets and certain products for consumer electronics devices will conform to the Company’s approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year beginning on shipment of such products to its customers. The Company generally warrants that ATI-branded PC workstation products will conform to the Company’s approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years, beginning on shipment of such products to its customers.

Changes in the Company’s potential liability for product warranties during the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 are as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2008			September 29, 2007
	(In millions)
Balance, beginning of the period	$	15		$	26
New warranties issued during the period		27			19
Settlements during the period		(10	)		(22	)
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties during the period, including expirations		(12	)		(9	)

Balance, end of the period	$	20		$	14

In addition to product warranties, the Company, from time to time in its normal course of business, indemnifies other parties, with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, third-party claims that the Company’s products when used for their intended purpose(s) infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations have not been material.

Contingencies

The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various actions that arose in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

9. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1 million in the third quarter of 2008 and an income tax provision of $20 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1 million and an income tax provision of $59 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, foreign taxes in profitable locations were substantially offset by discrete tax benefits including the monetization of the U.S. research and development credits pursuant to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and a refund of withholding taxes. The income tax provisions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 were primarily for deferred U.S. taxes related to indefinite-lived goodwill and foreign taxes in profitable locations.

As of September 27, 2008, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance. The realization of these assets is dependent on substantial future taxable income which at September 27, 2008 in management’s estimate, is not more likely than not to be achieved.

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $15 million during the third quarter of 2008 due to the receipt of certain proposed tax adjustments in foreign locations. As a result, the Company has now recognized $110 million of long-term deferred tax assets, previously under a valuation allowance, with $153 million of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 27, 2008. The net impact on the effective tax rate of the decrease in the gross unrecognized tax benefits in the third quarter of 2008 was not material because of the valuation allowance. There were no material changes in interest and penalties in the third quarter of 2008.

The IRS commenced the audit of the Company’s 2004 to 2006 tax years during the second quarter of 2008.

During the 12 months beginning September 28, 2008 the Company believes it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $95 million as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitation and audit resolutions.

10. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value are summarized below:


				Fair value measurement at reporting date using

⁽²⁾	$340 million included in cash and cash equivalents and $15 million included in marketable securities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

⁽³⁾	$177 million included in cash and cash equivalents and $15 million included in marketable securities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

⁽⁴⁾	Included in marketable securities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

⁽⁵⁾	$23 million included in marketable securities and $1 million included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

⁽⁶⁾	Included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company measures its cash equivalents, marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2, with the exception of auction rate security (ARS) investments. This is because cash equivalents and marketable securities are valued primarily using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs, as provided to the Company by its brokers. The ARS investments are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using a discounted cash flow model. Some of the inputs to this model are unobservable in the market and are significant. Our foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets.

The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charges of $24 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $9 million in the third quarter of 2008 for its investment in Spansion Inc. (See Note 13)

The recent uncertainties in the credit markets have affected all of the Company’s ARS investments and auctions for these securities have failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. As a result, reliable Level 1 or Level 2 pricing is not available for these ARS. In light of these developments, to determine the fair value for its ARS, the Company obtained broker reports and discussed with brokers the critical inputs that they used in their proprietary models to assess fair value, which included liquidity, credit rating and discounted cash flows associated with these ARS. In addition, the Company performed its own discounted cash flow analyses. Based on the outcomes of these activities, the Company concluded that there was no further reduction in the fair value of its ARS compared to the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $12 million.

Significant considerations in the discounted cash flow model were the credit rating of the instruments, the percentage and the types of guarantees, the probability of the auction succeeding or the security being called, and an illiquidity discount factor. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model to determine their fair values as of September 27, 2008 were the discount factor to be applied and the period over which the cash flows would be expected to occur. If different assumptions were used for the various inputs to the valuation approach including, but not limited to, assumptions involving the estimated lives of the ARS investments, the estimated cash flows over those estimated lives, the estimated discount rates applied to those cash flows and the illiquidity factor, the estimated fair value of these investments could be significantly higher or lower than the fair value determined by the Company as of September 27, 2008.

In October 2008, UBS AG (UBS) offered to repurchase all of the Company’s ARS that were purchased from UBS prior to February 13, 2008. As of September 27, 2008, the Company owned $82 million par value of these securities. The Company accepted this offer. From June 30, 2010 and ending July 2, 2012, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell, at par, these ARS to UBS. Prior to June 30, 2010, the Company will continue to earn and receive all interest that is payable for these ARS. Furthermore, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on the Company’s behalf so long as the Company receives par value for the ARS sold. UBS has also agreed to use its best efforts to facilitate issuer redemptions and/or to resolve the liquidity concerns of holders of their ARS through restructurings and other means.

The repurchase right represents a freestanding financial instrument (a put option) for accounting purposes. As such, the Company intends to record the fair value of the put option as an asset on its consolidated balance sheet, and record a corresponding gain to earnings during the fourth quarter of 2008.

As of September 27, 2008, the Company classified its investments in ARS as current assets because for a majority of its ARS holdings, it reasonably expects that it will be able to sell these securities and have the proceeds available for use in its operations within the next twelve months through a future successful auction, a sale to a buyer found outside the auction process, or through a redemption by which issuers establish a different form of financing to replace these securities. With respect to $82 million of its ARS holdings, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on the Company’s behalf so long as the Company receives par value for the ARS sold. UBS has also agreed to use their best efforts to facilitate issuer redemptions and/or to resolve the liquidity concerns of holders of their ARS through restructurings and other means. The Company is not dependant on liquidating its ARS in the next twelve months in order to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company’s investments in ARS include approximately $133 million of student loan ARS, $35 million of municipal and corporate ARS and $12 million ARS in preferred shares of closed end mutual funds. Approximately 81 percent of the Company’s ARS holdings are AAA rated investments and all the $133 million student loan ARS are guaranteed by the Federal Family Educational Loan Program. Until the first quarter of 2008, the fair values of the Company’s ARS were determinable by reference to frequent successful Dutch auctions of such securities, which settled at par.

Reconciliation of the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):


	Quarter ended September 27, 2008 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Auction Rate Securities		Nine months ended September 27, 2008 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Auction Rate Securities

Other than temporary impairment		—		(12	)

Ending balance, September 27, 2008	$	180	$	180

Loss for period included in earnings attributable to the Level 3 financial assets still held at September 27, 2008	$	—	$	12

Total financial assets at fair value classified within Level 3 were 1.9 percent of total assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2008.

11. Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring), which included a reduction-in-force (RIF) and certain contract termination costs related to technologies it was no longer pursuing and recorded a total charge of $32 million. The RIF component, which is comprised primarily of severance and costs related to the continuance of certain employee benefits, totaled approximately $23 million. Other exit-related costs, including $6 million of non-cash charges, totaled approximately $9 million.

In the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded additional severance and related costs of approximately $9 million in connection with the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring.

These charges have been aggregated and appear on the line item entitled “Restructuring Charges” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the exception of $2 million in the second quarter of 2008, which are classified as discontinued operations.

The Company anticipates recording approximately $1 million of additional severance in the fourth quarter of 2008 in connection with the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring and to substantially complete the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring by the end of fiscal 2008.

The following table provides a summary of the restructuring activities and the related liabilities recorded in Other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet remaining as of September 27, 2008:

12. Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Handheld and Digital Television business units and classified them as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. The Company discontinued amortization and depreciation related to the assets of these business units in the second quarter of 2008. The Company has segregated the assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations from those assets and liabilities related to continuing operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, the Company has segregated the operating results of discontinued operations from those of continuing operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

As a result of its decision to divest its Handheld and Digital Television business units, the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the second quarter of 2008 and concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill and certain finite-lived intangible assets associated with its Handheld and Digital Television business units were impaired and recorded an impairment charge. For goodwill, the impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the Company’s reporting units with the implied fair value of the goodwill. The Company considered the income approach in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows of each of the reporting units discounted using estimated discount rates taking into consideration the estimated proceeds that the Company expects to receive in connection with any potential divestiture. For acquired intangible assets, the Company assessed the recoverability of the unamortized balances by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying values. For those acquired intangible assets where the carrying values exceeded the undiscounted future net cash flows, the Company measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceeded the estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows. The remaining carrying values of goodwill related to these business units were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations.

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Broadcom Corporation and Broadcom International Limited (collectively, Broadcom) to sell certain assets related to the Digital Television business unit for $192.8 million. The asset purchase agreement was subsequently amended to reduce the purchase price to $141.5 million and the transaction was completed on October 27, 2008. Based on the final terms of the sale transaction, the Company wrote down goodwill $135 million in the third quarter of 2008. (See Note 15)

The results from discontinued operations are as follows:


	Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2008			September 29, 2007			September 27, 2008			September 29, 2007
	(In millions)
Revenue	$	44		$	74		$	130		$	246
Expenses		(68	)		(126	)		(246	)		(428	)
Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets		(135	)		—			(1,011	)		—
Restructuring charges		—			—			(2	)		—

Loss from discontinued operations	$	(159	)	$	(52	)	$	(1,129	)	$	(182	)

The carrying value of the assets of discontinued operations was $232 million and $1.3 billion as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. Included in these balances is goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the amounts of $193 million and $1.2 billion as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The carrying value of the liabilities for discontinued operations was $11 million and $26 million as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations for the Digital Television business unit have been reclassified to only include the assets acquired by Broadcom. Cash flows from discontinued operations are not material and are combined with cash flows from continuing operations within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows categories.

13. Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other

Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other for the first six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the Company’s share of the operating losses of Spansion Inc. under the equity method of accounting. Effective September 20, 2007, the Company changed its accounting for this investment from the equity method of accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $42 million after giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results and its stock price trends in the preceding six months. The remaining $44 million loss for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 represented the Company’s shares of the operating losses of Spansion Inc. under the equity method of accounting.

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $24 million after giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results and its stock price trends in the preceding six months. As of September 27, 2008, the Company owned a total 14,037,910 shares, or approximately 9 percent, of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. In the third quarter

of 2008, the market value of the Company’s interest in the common stock of Spansion was lower than its carrying value by approximately $9 million. After giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results and its stock price trends in the preceding months as well as the continuing declining trend of its stock price subsequent to the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $9 million in the third quarter of 2008 in the line item “Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other” on its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

14. Sale of Receivables Classified as Other Short-Term Obligations

On March 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Sale of Receivables – Supplier Agreement with IBM Credit LLC, or IBM Credit, and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMD International Sales & Service, Ltd., or AMDISS, entered into the same sales agreement with IBM United Kingdom Financial Services Ltd., or IBM UK, pursuant to which the Company and AMDISS agreed to sell to each of IBM Credit and IBM UK certain receivables. Pursuant to the sales agreements, the IBM parties agreed to purchase from the AMD parties invoices of specified AMD customers up to credit limits set by the IBM parties for any applicable AMD customer. As of September 27, 2008, only certain distributor customers have participated in this program. Because the Company does not recognize revenue until its distributors sell its products to their customers, the Company classified funds received from the IBM parties as debt according to the requirement of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues. The debt is reduced as the IBM parties receive payments from the distributors. As of September 27, 2008, $94 million was outstanding under these agreements. This amount appears as “Other short-term obligations” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and is not considered a cash commitment.

15. Subsequent Events

Proposed Manufacturing Joint Venture

On October 6, 2008, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement with Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (ATIC) and West Coast Hitech L.P., (WCH), acting through its general partner, West Coast Hitech G.P., Ltd. Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company and ATIC agreed to form a manufacturing joint venture, initially to be called “The Foundry Company.” Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company will contribute certain assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company, including, among other things, shares of the groups of German subsidiaries owning Fab 30/38 and Fab 36, certain manufacturing assets, employees performing certain manufacturing-related functions, and a portion of the Company’s patent portfolio and intellectual property in exchange for The Foundry Company securities, consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, 1,680,355 Class A Preferred Shares and 700,000 Class B Preferred Shares, and the assumption of certain liabilities by The Foundry Company, including the assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of the Company’s debt. ATIC will contribute approximately $1.4 billion of cash to The Foundry Company in exchange for The Foundry Company securities, consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, 336,071 Class A Preferred Shares, 644,284 Class B Preferred Shares, approximately $84 million aggregate principal amount of Class A Subordinated Convertible Notes and approximately $336 million aggregate principal amount of Class B Subordinated Convertible Notes, and ATIC will pay $700 million in cash to the Company in exchange for the transfer of the Company’s 700,000 Class B Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company to ATIC.

In addition, the Company will issue to WCH, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $314 million, 58 million shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 30 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants will be exercisable after the earlier of (i) public ground-breaking of a proposed manufacturing facility in up-state New York and (ii) 24 months from the date of issuance, and the warrants will have a ten-year term.

Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement, The Foundry Company will have only the Company and ATIC as stockholders, each of which at the closing will have equal voting rights, and The Foundry Company will be owned 44.4 percent by the Company and 55.6 percent by ATIC on a fully converted to ordinary shares basis. ATIC’s economic ownership will increase over time based on the differences in securities held by the Company and ATIC, depending on whether the Company elects to invest proportionately with ATIC in future Foundry Company capital infusions.

For accounting purposes, the proceeds the Company receives from the issuance of the shares and the warrants to WCH will be recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as stockholders’ equity. The issuance of the warrants will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s future net income per share and after the warrants are exercised, the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s future net income per common share.

Given the structure of the transactions contemplated in the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company will consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). Pursuant to the guidance in FIN 46R, The Foundry Company is a variable-interest entity and the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Company is required to consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company.

The Company’s issuance of the shares and the warrants is subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including approvals from certain government and foreign regulatory authorities.

Completion of Sale of DTV Assets

On October 27, 2008, the Company, Broadcom Corporation and Broadcom International Limited (collectively, Broadcom) executed Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement previously entered into by the parties in August 2008, pursuant to which the aggregate cash purchase price payable by Broadcom to the Company in consideration for certain assets related to the Company’s Digital Television business unit was reduced from $192.8 million to $141.5 million. As a result of this purchase price reduction, the Company recorded an additional loss from the sale of the DTV assets of approximately $51 million in the third quarter of 2008, which is in addition to the $84 million previously disclosed in the Company’s earnings press release dated October 16, 2008.

Repurchase of Auction Rate Securities

In October 2008, UBS offered to repurchase all of the Company’s ARS that were purchased from UBS prior to February 13, 2008. As of September 27, 2008, the Company owned $82 million par value of these securities. The Company accepted this offer. From June 30, 2010 and ending July 2, 2012, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell, at par, these ARS to UBS. Prior to June 30, 2010, the Company will continue to earn and receive all interest that is payable for these ARS. Furthermore, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on the Company’s behalf so long as the Company receives par value for the ARS sold. UBS has also agreed to use its best efforts to facilitate issuer redemptions and/or to resolve the liquidity concerns of holders of their ARS through restructurings and other means.

In this section, we will describe the general financial condition and the results of operations for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, including a discussion of our results of operations for the quarter and nine months ending September 27, 2008 compared to the quarter and nine months ending September 29, 2007, an analysis of changes in our financial condition and a discussion of our contractual obligations and off balance sheet arrangements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2007 as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.

Overview

We are a global semiconductor company with facilities around the world. During the second quarter of 2008, we decided to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units, which prior to the second quarter of 2008 were reported in our Consumer Electronics segment, and as a result, we classified them as discontinued operations in our financial statements. The discussion in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section focuses on our continuing operations which consist of:

•

x86 microprocessors, for the commercial and consumer markets, embedded microprocessors for commercial, commercial client and consumer markets and chipsets for desktop and notebook personal computers or PCs, professional workstations and servers; and

•

graphics, video and multimedia products for desktop and notebook computers, including home media PCs, professional workstations and servers and technology for game consoles.

The following discussion is limited to our continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

We made progress during the third quarter of 2008 towards improving our financial performance in the context of a challenging economic environment. Net revenue increased 32 percent compared to the second quarter of 2008 and 14 percent compared to the third quarter of 2007, and we were able to achieve our goal of positive operating income, with operating income of $131 million. Net revenue during the third quarter of 2008 included $191 million in process technology license revenue related to the sale of 200 millimeter equipment. In addition to the impact of the process technology license revenue, the increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007 was due to an increase in unit shipments and an improved product mix. The performance of our Graphics segment was especially notable due in large part to the strong demand for our new ATI Radeon HD 4000 series of GPU products. Graphics net revenue of $385 million in the third quarter of 2008 increased 55 percent compared to the second quarter of 2008 and 40 percent compared to the third quarter of 2007.

Gross margin, as a percentage of net revenue, for the third quarter of 2008 was 51 percent, a decrease of one percent compared to 52 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and an increase of 10 percent compared to 41 percent in the third quarter of 2007. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2008 was favorably impacted by 6 percentage points as a result of the $191 million of process technology license revenue referenced above. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2008 was favorably impacted by 14 percentage points as a result of a $193 million gain on the sale of 200 millimeter equipment that we recorded in cost of sales. Excluding the favorable impact of the process technology license revenue and the gain on the sale of 200 millimeter equipment, which we believe gives a more comparable view of our gross margin, gross margin would have been 45 percent in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 37 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 41 percent in the third quarter of 2007.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2008 was $131 million compared to an operating loss of $143 million in the second quarter of 2008 and an operating loss of $181 million in the third quarter of 2007. The improvement in operating performance in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2008 was primarily a result of the process technology license revenue referenced above, lower research and development and marketing general and administrative expenses and lower restructuring charges. These improvements were partially offset by higher cost of sales in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2008 due to absence of the favorable impact on cost of sales of the gain on the sale of 200 millimeter equipment during the second quarter of 2008. The improvement in our operating income in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 was primarily a result of the process technology license revenue referenced above, lower cost of sales and lower research and development and marketing general and administrative expenses and lower restructuring charges.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 27, 2008 were $1.3 billion, a decrease of $548 million compared to December 29, 2007. Capital expenditures were $83 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $104 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $417 million in the third quarter of 2007.

In addition, in order to achieve our goal of attaining a lower breakeven point, we decided in the fourth quarter of 2008 to undertake additional cost reduction actions. We intend to reduce headcount by approximately 500 employees during the fourth quarter of 2008 (which is in addition to the headcount reductions we announced in April 2008) and plan to take additional cost reduction actions during the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009. We expect that the actions taken in the fourth quarter will result in a charge to operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 of approximately $50 million consisting primarily of severance and costs related to the continuation of certain employee benefits, contract terminations and excess facility exit costs. Further cost reduction actions will result in an additional charge in 2009, which we cannot estimate at this time, but which may include severance and costs related to the continuation of certain employee benefits and excess facility exit costs.

We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist you in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, the primary factors that resulted in those changes and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements.

Proposed Manufacturing Joint Venture

On October 6, 2008, as part of the implementation of our “Asset Smart” strategy, we entered into a Master Transaction Agreement with Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (ATIC) and West Coast Hitech L.P., (WCH), acting through its general partner, West Coast Hitech G.P., Ltd. Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, we and ATIC agreed to form a manufacturing joint venture initially to be called “The Foundry Company.” Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, we will contribute certain assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company, including, among other things, shares of the groups of German subsidiaries owning Fab 30/38 and Fab 36, certain manufacturing assets, employees performing certain manufacturing-related functions, and a portion of our patent portfolio and intellectual property in exchange for The Foundry Company securities, consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, 1,680,355 Class A Preferred Shares and 700,000 Class B Preferred Shares, and the assumption of certain liabilities by The Foundry Company, including the assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of our debt. ATIC will contribute approximately $1.4 billion of cash to The Foundry Company in exchange for The Foundry Company securities, consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, 336,071 Class A Preferred Shares, 644,284 Class B Preferred Shares, approximately $84 million aggregate principal amount of Class A Subordinated Convertible Notes and approximately $336 million aggregate principal amount of Class B Subordinated Convertible Notes, and ATIC will pay us $700 million of cash to us in exchange for the transfer of our 700,000 Class B Preferred Shares of The Foundry Company to ATIC.

In addition, we will issue to WCH, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $314 million, 58 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 30 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants will be exercisable after the earlier of (i) public ground-breaking of a proposed manufacturing facility in up-state New York and (ii) 24 months from the date of issuance, and the warrants will have a ten-year term.

Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement, The Foundry Company will have only us and ATIC as stockholders, each of which at the closing will have equal voting rights, and The Foundry Company will be owned 44.4 percent by us and 55.6 percent by ATIC on a fully converted to ordinary shares basis. ATIC’s economic ownership will increase over time based on the differences in securities held by us and ATIC, depending on whether we elect to invest proportionately with ATIC in future Foundry Company capital infusions.

For accounting purposes, the proceeds we receive from the issuance of the shares and the warrants to WCH will be recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as stockholders’ equity. The issuance of the warrants will have a dilutive effect on our future net income per share and after the warrants are exercised, the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will have a dilutive effect on our future net income per common share.

Given the structure of the transactions contemplated in the Master Transaction Agreement, we will consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). Pursuant to the guidance in FIN 46R, The Foundry Company is a variable-interest entity and we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we are required to consolidate the accounts of The Foundry Company.

The issuance of the shares and the warrants is subject to the approval of our stockholders. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including approvals from certain government and foreign regulatory authorities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to our revenues, inventories, asset impairments, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Although actual results have historically been reasonably consistent with management’s expectations, the actual results may differ from these estimates or our estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 27, 2008 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 other than the following:

Fair Value. Effective December 30, 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements.

The fair values of our financial instruments reflect the estimates of amounts that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in our consolidated financial statements are based on information available to us as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007.

In accordance with Statement 157, we apply a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The three levels are the following:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure our cash equivalents, marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2, with the exception of auction rate security (ARS) investments. This is because cash equivalents and marketable securities are valued primarily using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs, as provided to us by our brokers. The ARS investments are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using a discounted cash flow model. Some of the inputs to this model are unobservable in the market and are significant. Our foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets.

Results of Operations

We review and assess operating performance using segment net revenues and operating income (loss) before interest, other income (expense), minority interest, equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other and income taxes. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management’s judgment.

Prior to the second quarter of 2008, we had three reportable operating segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which included microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors and related revenue;

•

the Graphics segment, which included graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue; and

•

In the second quarter of 2008, we decided to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units, which were previously part of the Consumer Electronics segment. As a result, we classified them as discontinued operations in our financial statements and began reviewing and assessing operating performance using the following reportable operating segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which includes microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors and related revenue; and

•

the Graphics segment, which includes graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue as well as revenue from royalties received in connection with the sale of game console systems that incorporate our graphics technology.

In addition to the reportable segments, we have an All Other category, which is not a reportable segment. This category consists of certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the operating segments because we do not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the operating segments. These expenses and credits include employee stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, integration charges, restructuring charges and charges for goodwill and intangible asset impairment.

The following table provides a summary of the our net revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarters ended September 27, 2008, June 28, 2008, September 29, 2007 and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007.

Computing Solutions

Computing Solutions net revenue of $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2008 increased 8 percent compared to net revenue of $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2007. The increase was the result of $191 million of process technology license revenue in the third quarter of 2008, which accounted for 14 percent of the increase. Without the effect of the process technology license revenue, Computing Solutions net revenue would have decreased 6 percent due to a 7 percent decrease in average selling prices. Average selling prices decreased primarily because of lower chipset average selling prices. Average selling prices for chipsets decreased due to competitive market pressure and a shift in product mix to lower end products. Average selling prices for microprocessors were flat. Unit shipments of our Computing Solutions’ products were flat. An increase in unit shipments of embedded processors and chipsets was offset by a decrease in microprocessor unit shipments. Embedded processor and chipset unit shipments increased due to increased market penetration. Microprocessor unit shipments declined primarily due to decreased demand for low end microprocessors.

Computing Solutions net revenue of $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2008 increased 26 percent compared to net revenue of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2008. Net revenue increased primarily because of $191 million of process technology license revenue referenced above, which accounted for 17 percent of the increase. In addition to the favorable impact of the process technology license revenue, Computing Solutions net revenue in the third quarter of 2008 improved compared to the second quarter of 2008 due to a 10 percent increase in unit shipments. Unit shipments increased primarily due to increased demand for our chipsets and multi-core microprocessor products. Average selling prices were flat compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Computing Solutions net revenue of $3.7 billion in the first nine months of 2008 increased 12 percent compared to net revenue of $3.3 billion in the first nine months of 2007. Revenue increased primarily as a result of the process technology license revenue referenced above, which accounted for 6 percent of the increase. In addition to the favorable impact of the process technology license revenue, Computing Solutions net revenue in the first nine months of 2008 improved compared to the first nine months of 2007 due to a 7 percent increase in unit shipments. Unit shipments increased primarily due to an increase in unit shipments of embedded processors and microprocessors. Embedded processor unit shipments increased due to increased market penetration. Microprocessor unit shipments increased due to increased demand for our multi-core microprocessor products. Average selling prices were flat. An increase in average selling prices for embedded processors was almost entirely offset by a decrease in chipset average selling prices. Embedded processor average selling prices increased due to an improvement in product mix. Chipset average selling prices decreased due to increased sales of lower-end chipset products.

Computing Solutions operating income was $143 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $122 million in the third quarter of 2007. The primary reason for the operating improvement was the 8 percent increase in net revenue referenced above and a $108 million decrease in cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased due to lower microprocessor unit shipments. In addition, research and development expenses decreased $13 million and marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $36 million. The decreases in research and development expenses and in marketing, general and administrative expenses are explained under “Expenses” below.

Computing Solutions operating income was $143 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $9 million in the second quarter of 2008. The primary reason for the operating improvement was the 26 percent increase in net revenue referenced above. In addition, research and development expenses decreased $23 million and marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $9 million. The decreases in research and development expenses and in marketing, general and administrative expenses are explained under “Expenses” below. The improvement in operating results was partially offset by a $170 million increase in cost of sales. The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales is absence of the favorable impact on cost of sales of the gain on the sale of 200 millimeter tools recorded in the second quarter of 2008 that did not recur in the third quarter of 2008.

Computing Solutions operating loss was $29 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $722 million in the first nine months of 2007. The operating improvement was primarily due to the 12 percent increase in net revenue and a $304 million decrease in cost of sales. Net revenue increased for the reasons set forth above. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to the $193 million gain from the sale of 200 millimeter equipment recorded in the second quarter of 2008. Research and development expenses increased and marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased for the reasons set forth under “Expenses” below.

Graphics

Graphics net revenue of $385 million in the third quarter of 2008 increased 40 percent compared to net revenue of $275 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in revenue was attributable to a 28 percent increase in unit shipments, a 6 percent increase in average selling prices and a two fold increase in royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporate our graphics technology. Unit shipments increased primarily due to strong demand for our recently introduced ATI Radeon HD 4000 series of GPU products. Average selling prices increased due to a shift in the product mix to higher end GPUs. Royalty revenue increased due to increased demand for the latest generation of game consoles.

Graphics net revenue of $385 million in the third quarter of 2008 increased 55 percent compared to net revenue of $248 million in the second quarter of 2008. The increase in revenue was attributable to a 41 percent increase in GPU unit shipments, a 13 percent increase in average selling prices and a 31 percent increase in royalties received in connection with the sales of game console systems that incorporate our graphics technology. GPU unit shipments increased because of seasonality and strong demand for our GPUs. Average selling prices increased due to a shift in the product mix to higher end GPUs. Royalty revenue increased due to increased demand for the latest generation of game consoles.

Graphics net revenue of $894 million in the first nine months of 2008 increased 28 percent compared to net revenue of $698 million in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in net revenue was driven by a 20 percent increase in GPU unit shipments, a 2 percent increase in average selling prices and a greater than two fold increase in royalties received in connection with the sale of game console systems that incorporate our graphics technology. GPU unit shipments increased because of strong demand for our new products. Average selling prices increased during the third quarter of 2008 due to a shift in the product mix to higher end GPUs. Royalty revenue increased because of increased demand for the latest generation of game consoles.

Graphics operating income in the third quarter of 2008 was $47 million compared to an operating income of $11 million in the third quarter of 2007. The $36 million improvement in operating income was due to the increase in revenue referenced above. The improvement in operating results was partially offset by a $58 million increase in costs of sales because of higher unit shipments and increased research and development and marketing, general and administrative expenses, which increased for the reasons set forth under “Expenses” below.

Graphics operating income was $47 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $38 million in the second quarter of 2008. The operating improvement was due to the increase in revenue referenced above. The improvement in operating results was partially offset by a $54 million increase in cost of sales because of higher unit shipments.

Graphics operating income was $22 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $55 million in the first nine months of 2007. The improvement was primarily due to the increase in net revenue for the reasons referenced above. The favorable impact of increased revenue was partially offset by an $86 million increase in cost of sales and a $30 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses. Cost of sales increased primarily due to higher unit shipments.

All Other Category

All Other operating loss of $59 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased $11 million compared to an operating loss of $70 million in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in All Other operating loss was primarily due to a $7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $9 million decrease in the amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges, partially offset by $9 million in restructuring charges incurred in the third quarter of 2008.

All Other operating loss of $59 million in third quarter of 2008 decreased $37 million compared to an operating loss of $96 million in the second quarter of 2008. Operating loss decreased primarily due to a $21 million decrease in restructuring charges.

All Other operating loss of $219 million in the first nine months of 2008 decreased $32 million compared to an operating loss of $251 million in the first nine months of 2007. The reduction in operating loss was primarily attributable to a $56 million decrease in ATI acquisition-related charges and a $26 million decrease in employee stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in ATI acquisition-related charges was due to a decrease in the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets of $14 million due to the write-down of certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2007, the absence of an $18 million charge related to the fair value adjustment of acquired inventory and a decrease of $24 million in integration charges.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue increased to 51 percent in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 41 percent in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in gross margin included the effect of $191 million process technology license revenue recorded in our Computing Solutions segment, which favorably impacted gross margin by 6 percentage points. The remainder of the increase was primarily due an improvement in our product mix, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 51 percent in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 52 percent in the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2008, gross margin included the effect of the $193 million gain on the sale of 200 millimeter equipment, which favorably impacted gross margin by 14 percentage points. In the third quarter of 2008 gross margin included the effect of $191 million in technology license revenue, which favorably impacted gross margin by 6 percentage points. Excluding the favorable impact of the gain on the sale of 200 millimeter equipment and the process technology license revenue, which we believe gives a more comparable view of our gross margin, gross margin in the third quarter of 2008 would have increased approximately 8 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2008 due to an increase in unit shipments and an improvement in our product mix.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue increased to 48 percent in the first nine months of 2008 compared to 35 percent in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in gross margin included the effect of the $193 million gain on the sale of 200 millimeter equipment and the $191 million process technology license revenue referenced above, which favorably impacted gross margin by 7 percentage points. The remainder of the gross margin increase was due to an increase in unit shipments, an increase in average selling prices and an overall improvement in our product mix.

We record grants and allowances that we receive from the State of Saxony and the Federal Republic of Germany for Fab 30 or Fab 36 as long-term liabilities on our financial statements. We amortize these amounts as they are earned as a reduction to operating expenses. We record the amortization of the production related grants and allowances as a credit to cost of sales. The credit to cost of sales totaled $20 million in the third quarter of 2008, $18 million in the second quarter of 2008, and $34 million in the third quarter of 2007. The fluctuations in the recognition of these credits have not significantly impacted our gross margins.

Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses of $422 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased 2 percent from $431 million in the third quarter of 2007. Research and development expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment decreased $13 million compared to the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to the lower investment in manufacturing process technology in third quarter of 2008 and a $3 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses. Research and development expenses attributable to our Graphics segment increased $7 million primarily due to higher prototype expense for our next generation graphics products.

Research and development expenses of $422 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased 5 percent from $442 million in the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a $23 million decrease in research and development expenses attributable to the Computing Solutions segment as a result of less research and development activities during the third quarter of 2008. Research and development expenses attributable to our Graphics segment were flat.

Research and development expenses of $1.32 billion in the first nine months of 2008 increased 5 percent from $1.26 billion in the first nine months of 2007. This increase was primarily due to a $68 million increase in research and development expenses attributable to the Computing Solutions segment due to higher product design costs for our next generation microprocessor products and start-up costs for Fab 38. The increase in research and development expenses was partially offset by a $5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses. In addition, the first nine months of 2007 included severance charges of $7 million for workforce reductions. We incurred a workforce reduction charge in the first nine months of 2008 pursuant to a restructuring plan initiated in the second quarter of 2008. The associated charge, along with other restructuring related costs, was recorded separately under the caption “Restructuring Charges” on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Research and development expenses attributable to our Graphics segment were flat.

We apply for and obtain subsidies from the State of Saxony, the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union for certain research and development projects. We record the amortization of the research and development related grants and allowances as well as the research and development subsidies as a reduction of research and development expenses when all conditions and requirements set forth in the subsidy are met. The credit to research and development expenses was $13 million in the third quarter of 2008, $8 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $11 million in the third quarter of 2007. The credit to research and development expenses totaled $29 million in the first nine months of 2008 and $24 million in the first nine months of 2007.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $313 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased 10 percent from $346 million in the third quarter of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a $36 million decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment, partially offset by an $8 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Graphics segment. Computing Solutions’ marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower cooperative advertising costs. Graphics’ marketing, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher marketing and cooperative advertising costs related to the launch of new products.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $313 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased 7 percent from $337 million in the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a $9 million decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses for our Computing Solutions segment and a $6 million decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses for our Graphics segment. Computing Solutions’ marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower labor expense and general services expenses. Graphics’ marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower cooperative advertising costs. In addition, information technology related expenses decreased by $9 million.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $984 million in the first nine months of 2008 decreased 4 percent from $1.03 billion in the first nine months of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a $71 million decrease in corporate marketing and branding expenses and lower employee bonus accrual for our Computing Solutions segment, a $21 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, and the absence of $10 million of severance charges for workforce reductions incurred in first nine months of 2007. We incurred workforce reduction charges in the first nine months of 2008 pursuant to a restructuring plan initiated in the second quarter of 2008. The associated charges, along with other restructuring related costs, were recorded separately under the caption “Restructuring Charges” on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. These decreases were partially offset by a $30 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses for the Graphics segment, and a $28 million increase in other administrative expenses. Graphics’ marketing, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher marketing and cooperative advertising costs related to the launch of new products.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets, integration charges and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges was $30 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $39 million in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease of $9 million was primarily attributable to a $4 million decrease in charges related to the integration of the operations of AMD and ATI and a $5 million decrease in amortization of acquired intangible assets due to the write-down of acquired intangible assets and revised amortization schedule for these assets following the impairment analysis conducted in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges of $30 million in the third quarter of 2008 was flat compared the second quarter of 2008.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges was $89 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $127 million in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease of $38 million was primarily attributable to a $24 million decrease in charges related to the integration of AMD and ATI operations and a $14 million decrease in amortization of acquired intangible assets due to the write-down of the acquired intangible assets and revised amortization schedule for these assets following the impairment analysis conducted in the fourth quarter of 2007.

In the second quarter of 2008, we decided to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units and classify them as discontinued operations for purposes of financial reporting. As a result, we performed an interim impairment analysis and recorded an impairment charge of $876 million associated with the goodwill and acquired intangible assets attributable to these businesses.

During the third quarter of 2008 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Broadcom Corporation and Broadcom International Limited (collectively, Broadcom) to sell certain assets related to the Digital Television business unit for $192.8 million. The asset purchase agreement was subsequently amended to reduce the purchase price to $141.5 million and was completed on October 27, 2008. Based on the final terms of the sale transaction, we wrote down goodwill $135 million in the third quarter of 2008. See “Part I, Item 2 – MD&A – Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

Interest Income

Interest income of $7 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased from $19 million in the third quarter of 2007 and from $10 million in the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to lower weighted-average interest rates and lower average cash balances.

Interest income of $32 million in the first nine months of 2008 decreased from $54 million in the first nine months of 2007, primarily due to lower weighted-average interest rates in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $87 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased from $95 million in the third quarter of 2007. In the third quarter of 2008, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness decreased $15 million because of a lower outstanding debt balance compared to the third quarter of 2007. This decrease was partially offset by a $3 million increase in interest expense as a result of tax audits in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 and the absence of $3 million in capitalized interest expense in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007. We discontinued capitalizing interest for Fab 36 in the first quarter of 2008 when it was in full production and for our Lantana office facility in Austin in the fourth quarter of 2007 when construction was completed.

Interest expense of $87 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased from $95 million in the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to $5 million decrease in interest expense as a result of tax audits in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Interest expense of $277 million for the first nine months of 2008 increased from $272 million for the first nine months of 2007. In the first nine months of 2008, interest expense as a result of tax audits increased by $7 million compared to the first nine months of 2007. In addition, capitalized interest expense in the first nine months of 2008 decreased by $9 million because we discontinued capitalizing interest for Fab 36 in the first quarter of 2008 when it was in full production and for our Lantana office facility in Austin in the fourth quarter of 2007 when the construction was completed. These factors were partially offset by decreased interest expense on outstanding indebtedness because of a lower outstanding debt balance compared to the first nine months of 2007.

Other Income/Expense, Net

Other Expense, net of $4 million in the third quarter of 2008 was approximately flat compared to other expense, net of $1 million in the third quarter of 2007.

Other Expense, net of $4 million, in the third quarter of 2008 decreased by $6 million compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to a $12 million other than temporary impairment charge related to our portfolio of ARS recorded in the second quarter of 2008. See “Financial Condition – Liquidity-Auction Rate Securities” below, for more information.

Other Expense, net of $15 million, in the first nine months of 2008 increased by $8 million compared to the first nine months of 2007. In the second quarter of 2008, we recorded a $12 million other than temporary impairment charge related to our portfolio of ARS. However, this was offset by a $5 million charge in the second quarter of 2007 related to unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of $500 million of the principal outstanding amount of the October 2006 Term Loan.

Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other

Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other for the first six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of our share of the operating losses of Spansion Inc. under the equity method of accounting. Effective September 20, 2007, we changed our accounting for this investment from the equity method of accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In the third quarter of 2007, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $42 million after giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results and its stock price trends in the preceding six months. The remaining $44 million loss for the nine months ended September 20, 2007 represented our share of the operating losses of Spansion Inc. under the equity method of accounting.

In the second quarter of 2008, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $24 million after giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results and its stock price trends in the preceding six months. As of September 27, 2008, we owned a total 14,037,910 shares, or approximately 9 percent, of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. In the third quarter of 2008, the market value of our interest in the common stock of Spansion was lower than our carrying value by approximately $9 million. After giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results and its stock price trends in the preceding months as well as the continuing declining trend of its stock price subsequent to the third quarter of 2008, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $9 million in the third quarter of 2008 in the line item “Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As indicated above, the stock price of Spansion declined further after the third quarter of 2008. If its stock price does not recover significantly before year end, we may be required to record another other than temporary impairment charge for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. We will continue to monitor Spansion’s future operating results and its stock pricing trend and perform an assessment at year end to determine if such other than temporary impairment charge is required.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $1 million in the third quarter of 2008 and an income tax provision of $20 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 27, 2008, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1 million and an income tax provision of $59 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, foreign taxes in profitable locations were substantially offset by discrete tax benefits for the monetization of U.S. research and development credits per the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and a refund of withholding taxes. The income tax provisions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 were primarily for deferred U.S. taxes related to indefinite-lived goodwill and foreign taxes in profitable locations.

As of September 27, 2008, substantially all of our U.S. deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance. The realization of these assets is dependent on substantial future taxable income which at September 27, 2008 in management’s estimate, is not more likely than not to be achieved.

Stock-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units and employee stock purchases of continuing operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, which we allocated in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2008		June 28, 2008		September 29, 2007		June 28, 2008		September 29, 2007
	(In millions)
Cost of sales	$	2	$	3	$	2	$	8	$	7
Research and development		9		8		12		32		38
Marketing, general, and administrative		7		6		11		15		36

Total stock-based compensation expense		18		17		25		55		81
Tax benefit		—		—		—		—		—

Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	18	$	17	$	25	$	55	$	81

In addition, for each of the quarters ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, employee stock-based compensation expense included in discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations was $2 million. For each of the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, employee stock-based compensation expense included in discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations was $5 million.

Stock-based compensation expenses of $18 million in the third quarter of 2008 decreased $7 million compared to $25 million in the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to the suspension of our employee stock purchase plan in late 2007, which resulted in no corresponding charges in the third quarter of 2008, and a net decrease in overall stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the lower average grant date fair value in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007.

Stock-based compensation expenses of $18 million in the third quarter of 2008 were relatively flat as compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Stock-based compensation expenses of $55 million in the first nine months of 2008 decreased $26 million compared to $81 million in the first nine months of 2007 primarily due to the suspension of our employee stock purchase plan in late 2007, which resulted in no corresponding charges in the first nine months of 2008, the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expenses related to certain performance based restricted stock unit grants because we concluded that the performance criteria were not achievable and a net decrease in overall stock-based compensation expense as a result of the lower average grant date fair value in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007.

International Sales

International sales as a percent of worldwide net sales were 89 percent in the third quarter of 2008, 90 percent in the third quarter of 2007 and 86 percent in the second quarter of 2008. We expect that international sales will continue to be a significant portion of total sales in the foreseeable future. Our net sales were primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar.

Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan (Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring), which included a reduction-in-force (RIF) and certain contract termination costs related to technologies we were no longer pursuing and recorded a total charge of $32 million. The RIF component, which is comprised primarily of severance and costs related to the continuance of certain employee benefits, totaled approximately $23 million. Other exit-related costs, including $6 million of non-cash charges, totaled approximately $9 million.

In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded additional severance and related costs of approximately $9 million in connection with the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring.

These charges have been aggregated and appear on the line item entitled “Restructuring Charges” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the exception of $2 million in the second quarter of 2008, which are classified as discontinued operations.

We anticipate recording approximately $1 million of additional severance in the fourth quarter of 2008 in connection with the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring and to substantially complete the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring by the end of fiscal 2008.

Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2008, we decided to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units and classified them as discontinued operations in our financial statements. We discontinued amortization and depreciation related to the assets of these business units in the second quarter of 2008. Consequently, we have segregated the assets and liabilities related to our discontinued operations from assets and liabilities related to continuing operations on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and we segregated the operating results related to our discontinued operations from those of our continuing operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

As a result of our decision to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units, we performed an interim impairment test of goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the second quarter of 2008 and concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill and certain finite-lived intangible assets associated with the Handheld and Digital Television business units were impaired and recorded an impairment charge. For goodwill, the impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting units with the implied fair value of the goodwill. We considered the income approach in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows of each of the reporting units discounted using estimated discount rates and took into consideration the estimated proceeds that we expect to receive in connection with any potential divestiture. For acquired intangible assets, we assessed the recoverability of the unamortized balances by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying values. For those acquired intangible assets where the carrying values exceeded the undiscounted future net cash flows, we measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceeded the estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows. We believe that the assumptions used for determining the impairment amounts for the goodwill and acquired intangible assets for these business units are reasonable. However, actual results could be significantly different from these assumptions, which could impact the future fair values of these business units and may result in further impairment charges, which would be reflected in “discontinued operations.” The remaining carrying values of goodwill and acquired intangible assets related to these business units were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations.

During the third quarter of 2008, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Broadcom to sell certain assets related to our Digital Television business unit for $192.8 million. The asset purchase agreement was subsequently amended to reduce the purchase price to $141.5 million and the transaction was completed on October 27, 2008. Based on the final terms of the sale transaction, we wrote down goodwill $135 million in the third quarter of 2008.

The results from discontinued operations are as follows:


	Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2008			September 29, 2007			September 27, 2008			September 29, 2007
	(In millions)
Revenue	$	44		$	74		$	130		$	246
Expenses		(68	)		(126	)		(246	)		(428	)
Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets		(135	)		—			(1,011	)		—
Restructuring charges		—			—			(2	)		—

Loss from discontinued operations	$	(159	)	$	(52	)	$	(1,129	)	$	(182	)

The carrying value of the assets of discontinued operations was $232 million and $1.3 billion as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007. Included in these balances is goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the amounts of $193 million and $1.2 billion as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007. The carrying value of the liabilities for discontinued operations was $11 million and $26 million as of September 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations for the Digital Television business unit have been reclassified to only include the assets acquired by Broadcom. Cash flows from discontinued operations are not material and have been combined with cash flows from continuing operations within our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows categories.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 27, 2008 totaled $1.3 billion, and our debt and capital lease obligations totaled $5.2 billion.

We decided to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units during the second quarter of 2008 and classify them as discontinued operations for financial reporting. We completed the sale of our Digital Television business unit in October 2008. We believe the absence of any cash flows from our discontinued operations will not have a material impact on our future liquidity and financial position. Accordingly, we have combined cash flows from discontinued operations with cash flows from continuing operations within each cash flow statement category discussed below.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $442 million in the first nine months of 2008. Non-cash charges included in our net loss of $1.7 billion consisted primarily of $1 billion of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible impairment charges attributable to discontinued operations, $920 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $62 million of stock-based compensation expense, $33 million of other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in Spansion and $12 million of other-than-temporary impairment on ARS. These charges were offset by $164 million net gain on the sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment, a majority of which related to the sale of certain 200-millimeter wafer fabrication equipment, and the amortization of foreign grants and subsidies of $72 million and a non-cash foreign exchange loss of $39 million. The net changes in operating assets for the first nine months of 2008 included a decrease of $456 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily reflecting the effects of our cost cutting efforts, an increase of $76 million in accounts receivable primarily due to an increase in sales, a decrease of $56 million in prepaid and other assets primarily related to a decrease in receivables of foreign grants and subsidies and an increase of $43 million in inventories primarily for our chipset and graphics products.

Net cash used in operating activities was $371 million in the first nine months of 2007. Non-cash charges included in our net loss of $1.6 billion consisted primarily of $974 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $86 million of stock-based compensation expense, $44 million related to our share of Spansion’s net loss and $42 million of other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in Spansion. These charges were offset by amortization of foreign grants and subsidies of $127 million. The net changes in operating assets for the first nine months of 2007 included a decrease of $464 million in accounts receivable partially offset by an increase of $180 million in prepaid and other assets and a decrease of $72 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Greater efficiency in management and collection of accounts receivables resulted in the decline of our accounts receivable balance. The increase in prepaid and other assets was driven by increases in receivables for foreign grants and subsidies, purchases of technology licenses and an increase in prepaid insurance.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $78 million in the first nine months of 2008, primarily as a result of $511 million of cash used to purchase property, plant and equipment and payments of $95 million in connection with the exercise of our call option to repurchase the limited partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG held by one of the unaffiliated partners, Fab 36 Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG. This was partially offset by $343 million of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, primarily the 200-millimeter wafer fabrication equipment, and $179 million in net proceeds from the sale and maturity of available-for-sale securities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2007, primarily as a result of $1.4 billion of cash used to purchase property, plant and equipment, and a net cash outflow of $151 million from purchases and maturities of available-for-sale securities. This was partially offset by $157 million proceeds from the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in Spansion.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $196 million in the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to proceeds of $182 million from the sale of certain of our accounts receivable to IBM Credit LLC pursuant to a Sale of Receivables – Supplier Agreement and proceeds of grants and subsidies from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony for the Fab 36 project of $114 million and for the Fab 38 project of $40 million, partially offset by payments of $98 million for debt and capital lease obligations, payments of $38 million in connection with the exercise of our call option to repurchase the silent partnership contributions in AMD Fab 36 KG held by Fab 36 Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG and payments of $19 million for the guaranteed return on the unaffiliated limited partners’ limited partnership contributions. See “Contractual Obligations - Sale of Receivables Classified as Other Short-Term Obligations” below, for additional information.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 billion in the first nine months of 2007, primarily due to net proceeds of $2.2 billion from the issuance of our 6.00% Notes during the second quarter of 2007, net proceeds of $1.5 billion from the issuance of our 5.75% Notes during the third quarter of 2007, $210 million of capital investment grants and allowances from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony for the Fab 36 project, and $62 million in proceeds from the issuance of stock under our ESPP and the exercise of employee stock options. These amounts were offset by $2.3 billion of payments for debt and capital lease obligations, which included $2.2 billion to repay the full principal amount outstanding under our October 2006 Term Loan, and $182 million for the purchase of the capped call in connection with the 6.00% Notes.

Liquidity

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances at September 27, 2008, anticipated cash flow from operations and available external financing will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital investments in the next twelve months and over the longer term, including approximately $267 million we plan to spend for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2008. Over the longer term, should additional funding be required, such as to meet payment obligations of our long-term debt when due, we may need to raise the required funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities, which may be issued from time to time under an effective registration statement, through the issuance of securities in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, or a combination of one or more of the foregoing.

We believe that in the event additional funding is required, we will be able to access the capital markets on terms and in amounts adequate to meet our objectives. Recently, continued concerns about the systemic impact of inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the United States have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for the U.S. economy. In the third quarter of 2008, added concerns fueled by the federal government conservatorship of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association, the declared bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the U.S. government-provided loan to American International Group Inc. and other federal government interventions in the U.S. credit markets have led to increased market uncertainty and instability in both U.S. and international capital and credit markets. These conditions, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment have recently contributed to substantial market volatility. As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. Continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economies may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition. If these market conditions continue, they may limit our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs, on favorable terms or at all, resulting in adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

Auction Rate Securities. The recent uncertainties in the credit markets have affected all of our ARS and auctions for these securities have failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. We concluded that the fair value of our ARS was equal to their carrying value in the third quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2008, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $12 million.

In October 2008, UBS offered to repurchase all of our ARS that we purchased from UBS prior to February 13, 2008. As of September 27, 2008, we owned $82 million par value of these securities. We accepted this offer. From June 30, 2010 and ending July 2, 2012, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell, at par, these ARS to UBS. Prior to June 30, 2010, we will continue to earn and receive all interest that is payable for these ARS. Furthermore, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on our behalf so long as we receive par value for the ARS sold.

The repurchase right represents a freestanding financial instrument (a put option) for accounting purposes. As such, we intend to record the fair value of the put option as an asset on our consolidated balance sheet, and record a corresponding gain to earnings during the fourth quarter of 2008.

As of September 27, 2008, we classified our investments in ARS as current assets because for a majority of our ARS holdings, we reasonably expect that we will be able to sell these securities and have the proceeds available for use in our operations within the next twelve months through a future successful auction, a sale to a buyer found outside the auction process, or through a redemption by which issuers establish a different form of financing to replace these securities. For the remaining $82 million of our ARS holdings, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on our behalf so long as we receive par value for the ARS sold. UBS has also agreed to use their best efforts to facilitate issuer redemptions and/or to resolve the liquidity concerns of holders of their ARS through restructurings and other means. We are not dependant on liquidating our ARS in the next twelve months in order to meet our liquidity needs.

Our investments in ARS include approximately $133 million of student loan ARS, $35 million of municipal and corporate ARS and $12 million ARS in preferred shares of closed end mutual funds. Approximately 81 percent of our ARS holdings are AAA rated investments and all the $133 million student loan ARS are guaranteed by the Federal Family Educational Loan Program. Until the first quarter of 2008, the fair values of our ARS were determinable by reference to frequent successful Dutch auctions of such securities, which settled at par.

Represents the amount of silent partnership contributions that our subsidiaries are required to repurchase from the remaining unaffiliated limited partner of AMD Fab 36 KG and is exclusive of the guaranteed rate of return. See “Fab 36 Term Loan and Guarantee and Fab 36 Partnership Agreements,” below.

⁽²⁾	Represents estimated aggregate interest obligations for our debt obligations, excluding capital lease obligations, including the guaranteed rate of return on our repurchase of the unaffiliated partner’s silent partnership contributions, based on our assumptions regarding wafer output.

⁽³⁾	Includes principal and interest.

⁽⁴⁾

We have unconditional purchase commitments for goods and services where payments are based, in part, on volume or type of services we require. In those cases, we only included the minimum volume of purchase commitments in the table above. Also, purchase orders for goods and services that are cancelable upon notice and without significant penalties are not included in the amounts above.

5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012

On August 14, 2007, we issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012. The 5.75% Notes bear interest at 5.75% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning February 15, 2008 until the maturity date of August 15, 2012. The terms of the 5.75% Notes are governed by an Indenture (the 5.75% Indenture), dated as of August 14, 2007, by and between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.

The 5.75% Notes will be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 5.75% Notes, into shares of our common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 49.6771 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 5.75% Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $20.13 per share. This initial conversion price represents a premium of 50% relative to the last reported sale price of our common stock on August 8, 2007 (the trading date preceding the date of pricing of the 5.75% Notes) of $13.42 per share. This initial conversion rate will be adjusted for certain anti-dilution events. In addition, the conversion rate will be increased in the case of corporate events that constitute a fundamental change (as defined in the 5.75% Indenture) of AMD under certain circumstances. Holders of the 5.75% Notes may require us to repurchase the 5.75% Notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 5.75% Indenture) or a termination of trading (as defined in the Indenture). Additionally, an event of default (as defined in the 5.75% Indenture) may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 5.75% Notes.

The 5.75% Notes rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt. The 5.75% Notes rank junior in right of payment to all our existing and future senior secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $1.5 billion. We used all of the net proceeds, together with available cash, to repay in full the remaining outstanding balance of the October 2006 Term Loan. All security interests under the October 2006 Term Loan were released. In connection with this repayment, we recorded a charge of approximately $17 million to write off the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the October 2006 Term Loan.

We may elect to purchase or otherwise retire our 5.75% Notes with cash, stock or other assets from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, either directly or through intermediaries, or by tender offer, when we believe the market conditions are favorable to do so. Such purchases may have a material effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015

On April 27, 2007, we issued $2.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015. The 6.00% Notes bear interest at 6.00% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning November 1, 2007 until the maturity date of May 1, 2015. The terms of the 6.00% Notes are governed by an Indenture (the 6.00% Indenture), dated April 27, 2007, by and between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.

Upon the occurrence of certain events described in the 6.00% Indenture, the 6.00% Notes will be convertible into cash up to the principal amount, and if applicable, into shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes (the 6.00% Conversion Shares) in respect of any conversion value above the principal amount, based on an initial conversion rate of 35.6125 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 6.00% Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $28.08 per share. This initial conversion price represents a premium of 100% relative to the last reported sale price of our common stock on April 23, 2007 (the trading date preceding the date of pricing of the 6.00% Notes) of $14.04 per share. The conversion rate will be adjusted for certain anti-dilution events. In addition, the conversion rate will be increased in the case of corporate events that constitute a fundamental change (as defined in the 6.00% Indenture) under certain circumstances. Holders of the 6.00% Notes may require us to repurchase the 6.00% Notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change or a termination of trading (as defined in the 6.00% Indenture). Additionally, an event of default (as defined in the 6.00% Indenture) may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 6.00% Notes.

The 6.00% Notes rank equally with our existing and future senior debt and are senior to all of our future subordinated debt. The 6.00% Notes rank junior to all of our existing and future senior secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and liabilities of our subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.00% Notes, on April 24, 2007, we purchased a capped call with Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc., or Lehman Brother Derivatives, represented by Lehman Brothers Inc. The capped call had an initial strike price of $28.08 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which matches the initial conversion price of the 6.00% Notes, and a cap price of $42.12 per share. The capped call was intended to reduce the potential common stock dilution to then existing stockholders upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes because the call option allowed us to receive shares of common stock from the counterparty generally equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes.

Lehman Brothers Derivatives filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on October 4, 2008, which was an event of default under the capped call arrangement. The Lehman Brothers Derivatives bankruptcy proceedings are ongoing and our ability to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes through the capped call transaction has effectively been eliminated. As a result of the uncertain recoverability of this counterparty exposure, we are unable to predict whether, and to what extent, we may be able to recover any of our losses under the capped call transaction. Moreover, if the capped call is legally terminated, we likely will be subject to potentially disadvantageous tax consequences, including the use of a material amount of our net operating losses against triggered taxable income.

The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $2.2 billion. We used approximately $182 million of the net proceeds to purchase the capped call and applied $500 million of the net proceeds to prepay a portion of the amount outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan. In connection with this repayment, we recorded a charge of approximately $5 million to write off unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the October 2006 Term Loan repayment.

We may elect to purchase or otherwise retire our 6.00% Notes with cash, stock or other assets from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, either directly or through intermediaries, or by tender offer, when we believe the market conditions are favorable to do so. Such purchases may have a material effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Fab 36 Term Loan and Guarantee and Fab 36 Partnership Agreements

Our 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility, Fab 36, is owned by AMD Fab 36 Limited Liability Company & Co. KG (or AMD Fab 36 KG), a German limited partnership. We control the management of AMD Fab 36 KG through a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, AMD Fab 36 LLC, which is a general partner of AMD Fab 36 KG. AMD Fab 36 KG is our indirect consolidated subsidiary.

To date, we have provided a significant portion of the financing for Fab 36. In addition, Leipziger Messe GmbH, a nominee of the State of Saxony, Fab 36 Beteiligungs GmbH, an investment consortium arranged by M+W Zander Facility Engineering GmbH, the general contractor for the project, and a consortium of banks have provided financing for the project. We have also received grants and allowances from federal and state German authorities for the Fab 36 project.

The funding to construct and facilitize Fab 36 has consisted of:

•

equity contributions from us of $855 million under the partnership agreements, revolving loans from us of up to approximately $1.1 billion, and guarantees from us for amounts owed by AMD Fab 36 KG and its affiliates to the lenders and unaffiliated partners;

•

investments of approximately $468 million from Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs;

•

a loan of approximately $893 million from a consortium of banks, which was fully drawn as of December 2006;

•

up to approximately $793 million of subsidies consisting of grants and allowances from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony, depending on the level of capital investments by AMD Fab 36 KG, of which $627 million of cash has been received as of September 27, 2008;

•

up to approximately $34 million of subsidies consisting of grants and allowances, from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony, depending on the level of capital investments in connection with expansion of production capacity at our Dresden site, of which $9 million has been received as of September 27, 2008; and

•

a loan guarantee from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony of 80 percent of the losses sustained by the lenders referenced above after foreclosure on all other security.

As of September 27, 2008, we contributed to AMD Fab 36 KG the full amount of equity required under the partnership agreements and no loans from us were outstanding. These amounts have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

On April 21, 2004, AMD Fab 36 KG entered into a 700 million euro Term Loan Facility Agreement among AMD Fab 36 KG, as borrower, and a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank AG, as lenders, dated April 21, 2004 (Fab 36 Term Loan) and other related agreements (collectively, the Fab 36 Loan Agreements) to finance the purchase of equipment and tools required to operate Fab 36. The consortium of banks agreed to make available up to $893 million in loans to AMD Fab 36 KG upon its achievement of specified milestones, including attainment of “technical completion” at Fab 36, which required certification by the banks’ technical advisor that AMD Fab 36 KG had a wafer fabrication process suitable for high-volume production of advanced microprocessors and had achieved specified levels of average wafer starts per week and average wafer yields, as well as cumulative capital expenditures of approximately $1.5 billion.

Effective as of October 10, 2006, we amended the terms of the Fab 36 Term Loan. Under the amended and restated Fab 36 Term Loan, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed in U.S. dollars. To protect the lenders from currency risks, if our consolidated cash is below $1 billion or our credit rating drops below B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 KG will be required to maintain a cash reserve account with deposits equal to 5 percent of the amount of U.S. dollar loans outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan and to make balancing payments into this account equal to the difference between (x) the total amount of U.S. dollar loans outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan and (y) the U.S dollar equivalent of 700 million euros (as reduced by repayments, prepayments, cancellations, and any outstanding loans denominated in euros.)

In October 2006, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed $645 million (the First Installment), and in December 2006, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed $248 million under the Fab 36 Term Loan (the Second Installment). As of September 27, 2008, AMD Fab 36 KG had borrowed the full amount available under the Fab 36 Term Loan and the total amount outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan was $750 million. AMD Fab 36 KG may select an interest period of one, two, or three months or any other period agreed between AMD Fab 36 KG and the lenders. The rate of interest on each installment for the interest period selected is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable margin, plus LIBOR plus minimum reserve cost if any. As of September 27, 2008, the rate of interest was 4.66563 percent for the First Installment and 4.67563 percent for the Second Installment. This loan is repayable in quarterly installments and terminates in March 2011. An aggregate of $143 million has been repaid as of September 27, 2008.

The amended and restated Fab 36 Term Loan also sets forth certain covenants applicable to AMD Fab 36 KG. For example, for as long as group consolidated cash is at least $1 billion, our credit rating is at least B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, and no event of default has occurred, the only financial covenant that AMD Fab 36 KG is required to comply with is a loan to fixed asset value covenant. Specifically, the loan to fixed asset value (as defined in the Fab 36 Term Loan) as at the end of any relevant period specified in Column A below cannot exceed the percentage set out opposite such relevant period in Column B below:


Column A (Relevant Period)		Column B (Maximum Percentage of Loan to Fixed Asset Value)
up to and including 31 December 2008		50 percent
up to and including 31 December 2009		45 percent
Thereafter		40 percent

As of September 27, 2008, AMD Fab 36 KG was in compliance with this covenant.

If group consolidated cash is less than $1 billion or our credit rating is below B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 KG will also be required to maintain minimum cash balances equal to the lesser of 100 million euros and 50 percent of the total outstanding amount under the Fab 36 Term Loan. AMD Fab 36 KG may elect to maintain the minimum cash balance in an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars if group consolidated cash is at least $500 million. If on any scheduled repayment date, our credit rating is Caa2 or lower by Moody’s or CCC or lower by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 must increase the minimum cash balances by five percent of the total outstanding amount, and at each subsequent request of Dresdner Bank, by a further five percent of the total outstanding amount until such time as either the credit rating increases to at least Ba3 by Moody’s and BB- by Standard & Poor’s or the minimum cash balances are equal to the total outstanding amounts. Our credit rating was B2 with Moody’s and B with Standard and Poor’s as of September 27, 2008. AMD Fab 36 KG pledged substantially all of its current and future assets as security under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements, we pledged our equity interest in AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 LLC, AMD Fab 36 Holding pledged its equity interest in AMD Fab 36 Admin and its partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG and AMD Fab 36 Admin and AMD Fab 36 LLC pledged all of their partnership interests in AMD Fab 36 KG. We guaranteed the obligations of AMD Fab 36 KG to the lenders under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements. We also guaranteed repayment of grants and allowances by AMD Fab 36 KG, should such repayment be required pursuant to the terms of the subsidies provided by the federal and state German authorities.

Pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee Agreement among us, as guarantor, AMD Fab 36 KG, Dresdner Bank AG and Dresdner Bank AG, Niederlassung Luxemburg, we have to comply with specified adjusted tangible net worth and EBITDA financial covenants if the sum of our group consolidated cash declines below the following amounts:


Amount (in millions)	if Moody’s Rating is at least		if Standard & Poor’s Rating is at least
$ 500	B1 or lower	and	B+ or lower
425	Ba3	and	BB-
400	Ba2	and	BB
350	Ba1	and	BB+
300	Baa3 or better	and	BBB-or better

As of September 27, 2008, group consolidated cash was greater than $500 million and, therefore, the financial covenants were not applicable.

If our group consolidated cash declines below the amounts set forth above, we would be required to maintain adjusted tangible net worth, determined as of the last day of each preceding quarter, of not less than $1.75 billion.

In addition, if our group consolidated cash declines below the amounts set forth above, we would be required to maintain EBITDA (as defined in the Fab 36 Term Loan) as of the last day of each preceding fiscal period set forth below in an amount not less than the amount set forth below opposite the date of such preceding fiscal period:


Period		Amount (In millions)
For the four consecutive quarters ending December 2005 and for the four quarters ending on each quarter thereafter		$850 and $750 on an annualized basis for the two most recent quarters ending prior to December 31, 2006

to the rights and obligations with respect to their limited partner and silent partner contributions in AMD Fab 36 KG. The partnership was established for an indefinite period of time. A partner may terminate its participation in the partnership by giving twelve months advance notice to the other partners. The termination becomes effective at the end of the year following the year during which the notice is given. However, other than for good cause, a partner’s termination will not be effective before December 31, 2015.

The partnership agreements set forth each limited partner’s aggregate capital contribution to AMD Fab 36 KG and the milestones for such contributions. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreements, AMD, through AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin, provided an aggregate of $855 million, Leipziger Messe provided an aggregate of $292 million and Fab 36 Beteiligungs provided an aggregate of $175 million. The capital contributions of Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs are comprised of limited partnership contributions and silent partnership contributions. These contributions were due at various dates upon the achievement of milestones relating to the construction and operation of Fab 36 and have been made in full.

The partnership agreements also specify that the unaffiliated limited partners will receive a guaranteed rate of return of between 11 percent and 13 percent per annum on their total investment depending upon the monthly wafer output of Fab 36. We guaranteed these payments by AMD Fab 36 KG.

In April 2005, we amended the partnership agreements in order to restructure the proportion of Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership and limited partnership contributions. Although the total aggregate amount that Leipziger Messe has agreed to provide remained unchanged, the portion of its contribution that constitutes limited partnership interests was reduced by $73 million while the portion of its contribution that constitutes silent partnership interests was increased by a corresponding amount. In this report, we refer to this additional silent partnership contribution as the New Silent Partnership Amount.

In addition, commencing five years after the completion of its capital contribution, Leipziger Messe has the right to sell its limited partnership interest to third parties (other than competitors), subject to a right of first refusal held by AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin, or to put its limited partnership interest to AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. The put option is thereafter exercisable every three years. Leipziger Messe also has a put option in the event they are outvoted at AMD Fab 36 KG partners’ meetings with respect to certain specified matters such as increases in the partners’ capital contributions beyond those required by the partnership agreements, investments significantly in excess of the business plan, or certain dispositions of the limited partnership interests of AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. The purchase price under the put option is Leipziger Messe’s capital account balance plus accumulated or accrued profits. The purchase price under the call option is the same amount, plus a premium of $5.1 million. The right of first refusal price is the lower of the put option price or the price offered by the third party that triggered the right. We guaranteed the payments under the put options.

In addition, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin are obligated to repurchase Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership interests in annual 25 percent installments. As of September 27, 2008, of the $117 million of Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership interests, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin repurchased $58 million.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we initially classified the portion of the silent partnership contribution that is mandatorily redeemable as debt on the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value at the time of issuance because of the mandatory redemption features described in the preceding paragraph. Each accounting period, we increase the carrying value of this debt towards its ultimate redemption value of the silent partnership contributions by the guaranteed annual rate of return of between 11 percent and 13 percent. We record this periodic accretion to redemption value as interest expense.

Leipziger Messe’s limited partnership contributions and the New Silent Partnership Amount described above are not mandatorily redeemable, but rather are subject to redemption outside of the control of AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. In consolidation, we initially record these contributions as minority interest, based on its fair value. Each accounting period, we increase the carrying value of this minority interest toward its ultimate redemption value of these contributions by the guaranteed rate of return of between 11 percent and 13 percent. We classify this periodic accretion of redemption value as minority interest. No separate accounting is required for the put and call options because they are not freestanding instruments and not considered derivatives under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

In addition to support from us and the consortium of banks referenced above, the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony have agreed to support the Fab 36 project in the form of:

•

a loan guarantee equal to 80 percent of the losses sustained by the lenders after foreclosure on all other security; and

•

subsidies consisting of grants and allowances totaling up to approximately $793 million, depending on the level of capital investments by AMD Fab 36 KG, and $34 million, depending on the level of capital investments for expansion of production capacity at our Dresden site.

In connection with the receipt of investment grants for the Fab 36 project, AMD Fab 36 KG is required to attain a certain employee headcount by December 2008 and is required to maintain this headcount through December 2013. We record these grants as long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet and amortize them to operations ratably starting from December 2004 through December 2013. Initially, we amortized the grant amounts as a reduction to research and development expenses. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006 when Fab 36 began producing revenue generating products, we started amortizing these amounts as a reduction to cost of sales. For allowances, starting from the first quarter of 2006, we amortize the amounts as a reduction of depreciation expense ratably over the life of the investments because these allowances are intended to subsidize the capital investments. Noncompliance with the covenants contained in the subsidy documents could result in the repayment of all or a portion of the amounts received to date.

As of September 27, 2008, AMD Fab 36 KG received cash allowances of $407 million for capital investments made in 2003 through 2007 as well as cash grants of $221 million for capital investments made in 2003 through Q3 2008 and a prepayment for capital investments until project end for capital investments. The Fab 36 Loan Agreements also require that we:

•

provide funding to AMD Fab 36 KG if cash shortfalls occur, including funding shortfalls in government subsidies resulting from any defaults caused by AMD Fab 36 KG or its affiliates; and

•

guarantee 100 percent of AMD Fab 36 KG’s obligations under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements until the loans are repaid in full.

Under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements, AMD Fab 36 KG, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin are generally prevented from paying dividends or making other payments to us. In addition, AMD Fab 36 KG would be in default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements if we or any of the AMD companies fail to comply with certain obligations thereunder or upon the occurrence of certain events and if, after the occurrence of the event, the lenders determine that their legal or risk position is adversely affected. Circumstances that could result in a default include:

•

our failure to provide loans to AMD Fab 36 KG as required under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements;

•

failure to pay any amount due under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements within five days of the due date;

•

the occurrence of any event which the lenders reasonably believe has had or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or condition of AMD Fab 36 KG or AMD or their ability to perform under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements;

•

filings or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us, AMD Fab 36 KG or any limited partner;

•

the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Fab 36 Loan Agreements) of AMD;

•

AMD Fab 36 KG’s noncompliance with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on payment of profits, dividends or other distributions except in limited circumstances and restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, disposing of assets and repaying subordinated debt; and

•

AMD Fab 36 KG’s noncompliance with certain financial covenants, including loan to fixed asset value ratio and, in certain circumstances, a minimum cash covenant.

In general, any default with respect to other indebtedness of AMD or AMD Fab 36 KG that is not cured, would result in a cross-default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements.

The occurrence of a default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements would permit the lenders to accelerate the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan. In addition, the occurrence of a default under this agreement could result in a cross-default under the indentures governing our 7.75% Notes, 6.00% Notes and 5.75% Notes. We cannot provide assurance that we would be able to obtain the funds necessary to fulfill these obligations. Any such failure would have a material adverse effect on us.

In the event the transaction with ATIC is consummated and the approval of the lenders is received, the Fab 36 Term Loan will be assigned to The Foundry Company, whose financial results will continue to be consolidated with ours.

7.75% Senior Notes Due 2012

On October 29, 2004, we issued $600 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2012 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as amended. On April 22, 2005, we exchanged these notes for publicly registered notes which have substantially identical terms as the old notes except that the publicly registered notes are registered under the Securities Act, and, therefore, do not contain legends restricting their transfer. Our 7.75% Notes mature on November 1, 2012. Interest on our 7.75% Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, beginning May 1, 2005. Prior to November 1, 2008, we may

redeem some or all of our 7.75% Notes at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a “make-whole” premium, as defined in the indenture governing our 7.75% Notes. Thereafter, we may redeem our 7.75% Notes for cash at the following specified prices plus accrued and unpaid interest:


Period		Price as Percentage of Principal Amount
Beginning on November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009		103.875 percent
Beginning on November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010		101.938 percent
Beginning on November 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011		100.000 percent
On November 1, 2011		100.000 percent

Holders have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of our 7.75% Notes in the event that we undergo a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing our 7.75% Notes at a repurchase price of 101 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing our 7.75% Notes contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, which include all of our subsidiaries, from:

•

incurring additional indebtedness except specified permitted debt;

•

paying dividends and making other restricted payments;

•

making certain investments if an event of default exists, or if specified financial conditions are not satisfied;

•

creating or permitting certain liens;

•

creating or permitting restrictions on the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us;

•

using the proceeds from sales of certain assets;

•

entering into certain types of transactions with affiliates; and

•

consolidating, merging or selling our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

In February 2006, we redeemed 35 percent (or $210 million) of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 7.75% Notes. The holders of our 7.75% Notes received 107.75 percent of the principal amount of our 7.75% Notes plus accrued interest. In connection with this redemption, we recorded a charge of approximately $16 million, which represents our 7.75% redemption premium, and a charge of $4 million, which represents 35 percent of the unamortized issuance costs incurred in connection with the original issuance of our 7.75% Notes.

We may elect to purchase or otherwise retire the remaining principal outstanding under our 7.75% Notes with cash, stock or other assets from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, either directly or through intermediaries, or by tender offer, when we believe the market conditions are favorable to do so. Such purchases may have a material effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other Long-Term Liabilities in the Contractual Obligations table above includes $44 million of payments due under certain software and technology licenses that will be paid through 2010 and $41 million related to employee benefit obligations. Other Long-Term Liabilities excludes amounts recorded on our consolidated balance sheet that do not require us to make cash payments, which, as of September 27, 2008, primarily consisted of $389 million of deferred grants and subsidies related to the Fab 36 in Dresden and a $16 million deferred gain as a result of the sale and leaseback of our headquarters in Sunnyvale, California in 1998.

Other Long-Term Liabilities in the Contractual Obligations table above also excludes $135 million of non-current uncertain tax benefits under FIN 48, which are included in the caption, “Other Long Term Liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet at September 27, 2008. Included in the non-current uncertain tax benefits is a potential cash payment of approximately $26 million that could be payable by us upon settlement with a taxing authority. We have not included this amount in the Contractual Obligations table above as we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate regarding the timing of any settlement with the respective taxing authority, if any.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of September 27, 2008, we had aggregate outstanding capital lease obligations of $241 million. Included in this amount is $205 million in obligations under certain energy supply contracts which we entered into with local energy suppliers to provide our Dresden wafer fabrication facilities with utilities (gas, electricity, heating and cooling) to meet the energy demands for our manufacturing requirements. We account for certain fixed payments due under these energy supply arrangements as capital leases pursuant to EITF Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, and FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The capital lease obligations under the energy supply arrangements are payable in monthly installments through 2020.

Operating Leases

We lease certain of our facilities, including our executive offices in Sunnyvale, California, and in some jurisdictions we lease the land on which these facilities are built under non-cancelable lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2021. We lease certain of our manufacturing and office equipment for terms ranging from one to five years. Our total future non-cancelable lease obligations as of September 27, 2008 were $289 million, of which $36 million is accrued as a liability for certain facilities that were included in our 2002 Restructuring Plan. We will make these payments through 2011.

Unconditional Purchase Commitments

Total non-cancelable purchase commitments as of September 27, 2008 were $2.5 billion for periods through 2020. These purchase commitments include $1.1 billion related to contractual obligations of our Dresden facilities to purchase energy and gas and approximately $956 million representing future payments to IBM for the period from August 15, 2008 through 2015 pursuant to our amended and restated joint development agreement. As IBM’s services are being performed ratably over the life of the agreement, we expense the payments as incurred. The remaining purchase commitments also include non-cancelable contractual obligations to purchase raw materials, natural resources and office supplies.

In connection with our acquisition of ATI, we made several commitments to the Minister of Industry under the Investment Canada Act, including our agreement to increase spending on research and development in Canada to a specified amount over the course of a three-year period when compared to ATI’s expenditures in this area in prior years; maintain Canadian employee headcount at specified levels by the end of the three-year anniversary of the acquisition; increase by a specified amount the number of our Canadian employees focusing on research and development; attain specified Canadian capital expenditures over a three-year period; maintain a presence in Canada through a variety of commercial activities for a period of five years; and nominate a Canadian for election to our Board of Directors over the next five years. Our minimum required Canadian capital expenditures and research and development commitments are included in our aggregate unconditional purchase commitments. We expect that commitments relating to our Digital Television business unit, which has been divested, will no longer apply. We also expect that commitments relating to our Handheld business unit will no longer apply to the extent that all or part of this unit is divested.

Sale of Receivables Classified as Other Short-Term Obligations

On March 26, 2008, we entered into a Sale of Receivables – Supplier Agreement with IBM Credit LLC, or IBM Credit, and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMD International Sales & Service, Ltd., or AMDISS, entered into the same sales agreement with IBM United Kingdom Financial Services Ltd., or IBM UK, pursuant to which we and AMDISS agreed to sell to each of IBM Credit and IBM UK certain receivables. Pursuant to the sales agreements, the IBM parties agreed to purchase from the AMD parties invoices of specified AMD customers up to credit limits set by the IBM parties for any applicable AMD customer. As of September 27, 2008, only selected distributor customers have participated in this program. Because we do not recognize revenue until our distributors sell our products to their customers, we classified funds received from the IBM parties as debt according to the requirement of EITF Issue No. 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues. The debt is reduced as the IBM parties receive payments from the distributors. As of September 27, 2008, $94 million was outstanding under these agreements. This amount appears as other short-term obligations on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and is not considered a cash commitment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees of Indebtedness Recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet

As of September 27, 2008, the principal guarantee related to indebtedness recorded on our consolidated balance sheet was for $58 million, which represents the amount of silent partnership contributions that Fab 36 Holding and Fab 36 Admin are required to repurchase from Leipziger Messe GmbH and is exclusive of the guaranteed rate of return obligation aggregating approximately $146 million. Of the $58 million guarantee, $29 million is expected to expire by the end of 2008, and $29 million is expected to expire by the end of 2009.

Guarantees of Indebtedness Not Recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

AMTC and BAC Guarantees

The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC) and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH & Co. KG (BAC) are joint ventures initially formed by AMD, Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon) and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. (Dupont) for the purpose of constructing and operating an advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. The Company procures advanced photomasks from AMTC and uses them in manufacturing its microprocessors. In April 2005, DuPont was acquired by Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toppan, named Toppan Photomasks, Inc. In December 2007, Infineon entered into an assignment agreement to transfer its interest in AMTC and BAC to Qimonda AG, with the exception of certain AMTC/BAC related payment guarantees. The assignment became effective in January 2008.

In December 2002, BAC obtained a $110 million term loan to finance the construction of the photomask facility. At the same time, AMTC and BAC, as lessor, entered into a lease agreement. The term of the lease agreement is ten years. Each joint venture partner guaranteed a specific percentage of AMTC’s rental payments. Pursuant to an agreement between AMTC, BAC and DuPont (now Toppan), AMTC may exercise a “step-in” right, in which it would assume Toppan’s remaining rental payments in connection with the rental agreement between Toppan and BAC. As of, September 27, 2008, our guarantee of AMTC’s portion of the rental obligation was approximately $9 million and our maximum liability in the event AMTC exercises its “step-in” right and the other joint venture partners default under the guarantee was approximately $83 million. These estimates are based upon forecasted rents to be charged in the future and are subject to change based upon the actual usage of the facility by the tenants and foreign currency exchange rates.

In December 2007, AMTC entered into a new $99 million revolving credit facility, of which $82 million was outstanding as of September 27, 2008. The proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under a previous $175 million revolving credit facility and to provide additional financing for the acquisition of new tools. Subject to certain conditions under the revolving credit facility, AMTC may request that the loan amount be increased by an additional $58 million. The term of the revolving credit facility is three years. Upon request by AMTC and subject to certain conditions, the term of the revolving credit facility may be extended by two additional one-year periods. Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, each joint venture partner guaranteed one third of AMTC’s outstanding loan balance under the revolving credit facility. In September 2008, Qimonda provided a cash security equal to one third of AMTC’s outstanding loan balance pursuant to a cash pledge agreement and was released from the guarantee agreement. The obligations of the remaining joint venture partners under the guarantee agreement remain the same. As of September 27, 2008, our liability under this guarantee was $27 million plus our portion of accrued interest and expenses. Our maximum liability under this guarantee is $33 million plus our portion of accrued interest and expenses. Under the terms of the guarantee, if our group consolidated cash (which is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities less the aggregate amount outstanding under any revolving credit facility) is less than or expected to be less than $500 million, we will be required to provide cash collateral equal to one third of the balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We evaluated whether we should account for this guarantee under the provisions of FIN 45 and concluded it was immaterial to our financial position or results of operations. In the event the transaction with ATIC is consummated and the approval of the partners and banks are received, our partnership interests in the AMTC and the BAC will be transferred to The Foundry Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. We will adopt SFAS 161 in the first quarter of 2009. Since SFAS 161 requires only additional disclosures concerning derivatives and hedging activities, adoption of SFAS 161 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of SFAS 161 will change our disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

recognizing accretion of the discounted carrying value of the 6.00% Notes to their face amount as interest expense over the term of the 6.00% Notes. We expect to have higher interest expense beginning in the first quarter of 2009 due to the interest accretion, and the interest expense associated with the 6.00% Notes for prior periods will also be higher than previously reported due to the retrospective application of this FSP. Based on our preliminary analysis, the interest expense associated with our 6.00% Notes will be approximately $17 million, $26 million and $30 million higher for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively, as a result of adopting this FSP.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. In particular, it provides additional guidance on (a) how the reporting entity’s own assumptions (that is, expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates) should be considered when measuring fair value when relevant observable inputs do not exist, (b) how available observable inputs in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, and (c) how the use of market quotes (for example, broker quotes or pricing services for the same or similar financial assets) should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable inputs available to measure fair value. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. We evaluated this FSP and concluded that our valuation technique and the application used in determining the fair value of financial assets when the market for them is not active is consistent with this FSP’s guidance.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Reference is made to “Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007. There have not been significant changes in the market risk since December 29, 2007, except as follows:

There has been significant deterioration and instability in the financial markets during 2008. This period of extraordinary disruption and readjustment in the financial markets exposes us to additional investment risk. The value and liquidity of the securities in which we invest could deteriorate rapidly and the issuers of such securities could be subject to credit rating downgrades. In light of the current market conditions and these additional risks, we actively monitor market conditions and developments specific to the securities and security classes in which we invest. We believe that we take a conservative approach to investing our funds in that we invest only in highly-rated securities with relatively short maturities and do not invest in securities we believe involve a higher degree of risk. While we believe we take prudent measures to mitigate investment related risks, such risks cannot be fully eliminated, as there are circumstances outside of our control.

As of September 27, 2008, we had approximately $180 million investments in ARS after recording an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $12 million in the second quarter of 2008. During the first nine months of 2008, the market conditions for these ARS deteriorated due to the uncertainties in the credit markets. As a result, we were not able to sell our ARS as scheduled in the auction market during the first nine months of 2008. See “Part I, Item II – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report for further information.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2007 and related notes thereto, which are included in this report.

Introduction

We are a global semiconductor company with facilities around the world. Within the global semiconductor industry, we offer primarily:

•

x86 microprocessors, for the commercial and consumer markets, embedded microprocessors for commercial, commercial client and consumer markets and chipsets for desktop and notebook personal computers, or PCs, professional workstations and servers; and

•

graphics, video and multimedia products for desktop and notebook computers, including home media PCs, professional workstations and servers and technology for game consoles.

Prior to the closing of the IPO of Spansion Inc. on December 21, 2005, which is described in more detail below, we also manufactured and sold Flash memory devices through Spansion LLC, our former majority-owned subsidiary. Furthermore, as discussed in “Recent Developments – Discontinued Operations,” below, based on our decision made in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Digital Television and Handheld businesses acquired in the ATI acquisition (which, together with the game console business, comprised the former Consumer Electronics segment) are presented in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following discussion is limited to our continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

In this section, we will describe the general financial condition and the results of operations for AMD and its consolidated subsidiaries, including a discussion of our results of operations for 2007 compared to 2006 and 2006 compared to 2005, an analysis of changes in our financial condition and a discussion of our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements. Our results of operations include sales of graphics, video, multimedia and chipset products and royalties from sales of game consoles that incorporate our technology from the effective date of the ATI acquisition on October 25, 2006 through December 29, 2007 in the following reportable segments: (i) Computing Solutions (including Chipsets) and (ii) Graphics. We are not able to provide any comparative information for the Graphics segment prior to the ATI acquisition, since we did not participate in this market. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, including “Part I, Item 1: Business” and “Part II, Item 6: Selected Financial Data,” as well as “Part II, Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” included in this Report.

See Recent Developments for a discussion of events that have occurred subsequent to December 29, 2007 that we believe are material to your understanding of our business.

Overview

Fiscal 2007 was a challenging year for AMD. Our net revenue in 2007 of $5.7 billion increased three percent from net revenue of $5.6 billion in 2006. However, revenue increased because we included the operations of our Graphics segment and ATI chipset business for the entire fiscal year rather than just nine weeks in 2006. Net revenue for our Computing Solutions segment decreased 12 percent due to lower average selling prices for our microprocessor products, which resulted from delays in the introduction and broad availability of our quad-core processors, aggressive pricing by our principal competitor and a higher concentration of sales of processors for desktop and notebook PCs in 2007. Correspondingly, gross margins in 2007 decreased compared to gross margins in 2006 as a result of lower average selling prices for our microprocessor products and increased manufacturing costs during the first half of 2007. Furthermore, gross margins were adversely impacted due to the consolidation of ATI’s operations into ours for the full fiscal year in 2007 compared to nine weeks in 2006. Historically, the ATI business had lower gross margins compared to AMD.

Despite the challenges that we encountered during 2007, we made positive strides towards improving our performance. Although average selling prices for our microprocessor products declined in 2007 compared to 2006, they improved in the second half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2007 as our product mix improved with the introduction of our AMD Opteron quad-core processors for servers and AMD Phenom 9000 series of quad-core processors for desktop PCs. We also secured a new OEM customer, Toshiba Corporation. In the Graphics segment, we introduced the ATI Radeon HD 2000 and 3800 series of products. We also introduced the ATI Mobility Radeon HD series of products for notebook PCs during the second half of 2007 and were able to secure a number of OEM design wins. These new product introductions favorably impacted average selling prices. In the second half of 2007, we also improved gross margins compared to the first half of 2007 due to improved inventory management, manufacturing efficiencies and a richer product mix driven by the launch of new products. We also focused on improving the delivery of products across a diverse set of customers and geographies on a timely basis and, as a result, we witnessed recovery of sales to the distribution channel.

In 2007, we also undertook measures to improve our financial position. During the second quarter of 2007, we issued $2.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Notes and in the third quarter of 2007, we issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes. We used a portion of the proceeds from the 6.00% Notes and all of the proceeds from the 5.75% Notes to repay in full the amount outstanding under the October 2006 term loan agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we sold and issued 49 million shares of our common stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company in exchange for net proceeds of $608 million. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 29, 2007 totaled $1.9 billion and our debt and capital lease obligations totaled $5.3 billion.

We also made significant strides to implement our manufacturing capacity strategy. We converted Fab 36 to 65-nanometer process technology by mid-2007, as planned. We also expanded manufacturing capacity in Fab 36 and completed the addition of a new bump and test facility. We initiated the conversion of Fab 30 from a 200-millimeter to a 300-millimeter manufacturing facility. Fab 30 produced its final 200-millimeter wafer during the fourth quarter of 2007. During 2007, Chartered Semiconductor continued to manufacture AMD64-based processors for us to support incremental demand.

We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist you in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, the primary factors that resulted in those changes, and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements.

ATI Acquisition

On October 25, 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of ATI, a publicly held company headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Canada for a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. ATI was engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of innovative 3D graphics and digital media silicon solutions. We believe that the acquisition of ATI will allow us to deliver products that better fulfill the increasing demand for more integrated computing solutions. We included the operations of ATI in our consolidated financial statements beginning on October 25, 2006.

The aggregate consideration that we paid for all outstanding ATI common shares consisted of approximately $4.3 billion of cash and 58 million shares of our common stock. In addition, we also issued options to purchase approximately 17.1 million shares of our common stock and approximately 2.2 million comparable AMD restricted stock units in exchange for outstanding ATI stock options and restricted stock units. The vested portion of these options and restricted stock units was valued at approximately $144 million. The unvested portion, valued at approximately $69 million, is being amortized to compensation expense over the options’ remaining vesting periods. To finance a portion of the cash consideration paid, we borrowed $2.5 billion under the October 2006 Term Loan. This term loan was fully repaid in 2007 (See “Contractual Obligations”). The total purchase price for ATI was $5.6 billion, including acquisition-related costs of $25 million, and consisted of:


	(In millions except per share amounts)
Acquisition of all of the outstanding shares, stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards of ATI in exchange for:
Cash	$	4,263
58 million shares of AMD common stock		1,172
Fair value of vested options and restricted stock units issued		144
Acquisition related transaction costs		25

Total purchase price	$	5,604

Purchase Price Allocation

The total purchase price was allocated to ATI’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of October 24, 2006 as set forth below:


	(In millions)
Cash and marketable securities	$	500
Accounts receivable		290
Inventories		431
Goodwill		3,217
Developed product technology		752
Game console royalty agreement		147
Customer relationships		257
Trademarks and trade names		62
Customer backlog		36
In-process research and development		416
Property, plant and equipment		143
Other assets		25
Accounts payable and other liabilities		(631	)
Reserves for exit costs		(8	)
Debt and capital lease obligations		(31	)
Deferred revenues		(2	)

Total purchase price	$	5,604

The only item that may significantly impact goodwill is the resolution of certain ATI tax-related contingencies. To the extent that the actual amounts are different than the estimated amounts initially recorded, the difference will result in an adjustment to goodwill. Any other adjustments to amounts recorded from and after the completion of the acquisition will be recorded in post-acquisition operating results.

Management performed an analysis to determine the fair value of each tangible and identifiable intangible asset, including the portion of the purchase price attributable to acquired in-process research and development projects.

In-Process Research and Development

Of the total purchase price, approximately $416 million was allocated to in-process research and development (IPR&D) and was expensed in the fourth quarter of 2006. Projects that qualify as IPR&D represent those that have not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use at the time of the acquisition. These projects included development of next generation GPU, chipset, handheld and digital television products. As of the date of acquisition, the estimated fair value of the projects for the Graphics and Chipsets segment was approximately $193 million ($122 million for graphics products and $71 million for chipset products) and we expect to incur an aggregate of approximately $113 million ($86 million for graphics products and $27 million for chipset products) to

complete these projects over the two-year period that commenced October 25, 2006. As of the date of the acquisition, the estimated fair value of the projects for our former Consumer Electronics segment was approximately $223 million, and we expect to incur aggregate costs of approximately $102 million to complete these projects over the two-year period that commenced October 25, 2006. Starting in the first quarter of 2007, in conjunction with the integration of ATI’s operations, we reported operations related to our chipset products in our Computing Solutions segment.

The value assigned to IPR&D was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology, specifically an excess earnings approach, which estimates value based upon the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the in-process projects, net of all contributory asset returns. The approach includes consideration of the importance of each project to the overall development plan and estimating costs to develop the purchased IPR&D into commercially viable products. The revenue estimates used to value the purchased IPR&D were based on estimates of the relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by ATI and its competitors.

The discount rates applied to individual projects were selected after consideration of the overall estimated weighted average cost of capital and the discount rates applied to the valuation of the other assets acquired. Such weighted average cost of capital was adjusted to reflect the difficulties and uncertainties in completing each project and thereby achieving technological feasibility, the percentage of completion of each project, anticipated market acceptance and penetration, market growth rates and risks related to the impact of potential changes in future target markets. In developing the estimated fair values, we used discount rates ranging from 14 percent to 15 percent.

The development of these technologies remains a risk due to the remaining efforts to achieve technical viability, rapidly changing customer markets, uncertain standards for new products, and significant competitive threats from our competitors. Failure to develop these technologies into commercially viable products and/or failure to bring them to market in a timely manner could result in a loss of market share, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results, could negatively impact the return on investment that we expected at the time that the ATI acquisition was completed and may result in impairment charges.

The estimates used in valuing IPR&D were based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain, and as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

The development efforts on these acquired projects have been ongoing and there have not been any significant changes in the original development plans as of December 29, 2007.

Other Acquisition Related Intangible Assets

Developed product technology consists of products that have reached technological feasibility and included technology in ATI’s discrete GPU products, integrated chipset products, handheld products, and digital television products. We initially expected the developed technology to have an average useful life of five years. However, as discussed below, we have revised the estimate of the average useful life of the developed technology to be 50 months from the acquisition date.

Game console royalty agreements represent agreements existing as of October 24, 2006 with video game console manufacturers for the payment of royalties to ATI for intellectual property design work performed and were estimated to have an average useful life of five years.

Customer relationship intangibles represent ATI’s customer relationships existing as of October 24, 2006, and were estimated to have an average useful life of four years.

Trademarks and trade names have an estimated useful life of seven years.

Customer backlog represents customer orders existing as of October 24, 2006 that had not been delivered and were estimated to have a useful life of 14 months.

We determined the fair value of other acquisition-related intangible assets using income approaches based on the most current financial forecast available as of October 24, 2006. The discount rates we used to discount net cash flows to their present values ranged from 12 percent to 15 percent. We determined these discount rates after consideration of our estimated weighted average cost of capital and the estimated internal rate of return specific to the acquisition.

We based estimated useful lives for the other acquisition-related intangible assets on historical experience with technology life cycles, product roadmaps and our intended future use of the intangible assets.

Integration

Concurrent with the acquisition, we implemented an integration plan which included the termination of some ATI employees, the relocation or transfer to other sites of other ATI employees and the closure of duplicate facilities. The costs associated with employee severance and relocation totaled approximately seven million. The costs associated with the closure of duplicate facilities totaled approximately one million. These costs were included as a component of net assets acquired. Additionally, the integration plan also included termination of some AMD employees, cancellation of some existing contractual obligations, and other costs to integrate the operations of the two companies. We incurred costs of approximately $28 million and $32 million for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and they are included in the caption, “Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges,” on our consolidated statements of operations.

2007 Impairment Analysis

In the fourth quarter of 2007, pursuant to our accounting policy, we performed the annual goodwill impairment analysis. As a result of this analysis, we concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill assigned to our Graphics and our former Consumer Electronics segments exceeded their implied fair values and recorded an impairment loss of approximately $1.3 billion, of which $504 million is included in the caption “Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets” and $755 million is included in the caption “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in our 2007 consolidated statement of operations. The impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill assigned to specific reporting units within these segments as of October 1, 2007, with the implied fair value of the goodwill. We considered both the income and market approaches in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows of each of the reporting units discounted using estimated discount rates ranging from 13.1 percent to 15.3 percent. The estimates of future operating results and cash flows were principally derived from our updated long-term financial forecast, which is developed as part of our strategic planning cycle conducted annually during the latter part of the third quarter. The decline in the implied fair value of the goodwill and resulting impairment charge was primarily driven by our updated long-term financial forecasts, which showed lower estimated near-term and longer-term profitability compared to estimates we developed at the time of the completion of the acquisition. This updated long-term financial forecast represents the best estimate that we have at this time and we believe that its underlying assumptions are reasonable. However, actual performance in the near-term and longer-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates of fair value of our reporting units and may result in further impairment of goodwill.

The outcome of our goodwill impairment analysis also indicated that the carrying amount of certain acquisition-related intangible assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Accordingly, we assessed the recoverability of the acquisition-related intangible assets or asset groups, as appropriate, by determining whether the unamortized balances could be recovered through their respective estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. We determined that certain of the acquisition-related developed product technology associated with our Graphics and our former Consumer Electronics segments was impaired primarily due to the revised lower revenue forecasts associated with products incorporating such developed product technology. We measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded their estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows. As a result of this impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $349 million, of which $101 million is included in the caption “Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets” and $248 million related to the Digital Television and Handheld businesses which is included in the caption “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in our 2007 consolidated statement of operations. We also revised our estimate of the weighted average useful life of the developed product technology from 60 months to 50 months based on the revised cash flow forecasts.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to our revenues, inventories, asset impairments, goodwill, business combination, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Although actual results have historically been reasonably consistent with management’s expectations, actual results may differ from these estimates or our estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting estimates are the most significant to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Revenue Reserves. We record a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product sales for estimated future price reductions and other customer incentives in the same period that the related revenues are recorded. We base these estimates on actual historical sales returns, allowances, historical price reductions, market activity, and other known or anticipated trends and factors. These estimates are subject to management’s judgment, and actual provisions could be different from our estimates and current provisions, resulting in future adjustments to our revenues and operating results.

Inventory Valuation. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analysis of sales levels by product and projections of future demand. These projections assist us in determining the carrying value of our inventory and are also used for near-term factory production planning. Generally, inventories on hand in excess of forecasted demand for the next six months are not valued. In addition, we write off inventories that are considered obsolete. We adjust the remaining specific inventory balances to approximate the lower of our standard manufacturing cost or market value. Among other factors, management considers forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence and net realizable value. If, in any period, we anticipate future demand or market conditions to be less favorable than our previous estimates, additional inventory write-downs may be required and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made. This would have a negative impact on our gross margin in that period. If in any period we are able to sell inventories that were not valued or that had been written off in a previous period, related revenues would be recorded without any offsetting charge to cost of sales, resulting in a net benefit to our gross margin in that period.

Business Combinations. In accordance with business combination accounting, we have allocated the purchase price of ATI to tangible and acquisition related intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. These valuations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to acquisition related intangible assets.

We review the acquisition related intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recovered.

We made estimates of fair value of the ATI assets acquired and liabilities assumed using reasonable assumptions based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired company. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the acquisition related intangible assets included but were not limited to: future expected cash flows from the sale of products, expected costs to develop in-process research and development projects into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows from the projects when completed; the market’s awareness of the acquired company’s brand and the acquired company’s market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio and discount rates. Unanticipated events may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results as evidenced by the impairment charges we recorded with respect to goodwill and intangible assets resulting from the ATI acquisition.

Goodwill. As a result of the ATI acquisition, we recorded goodwill on our books. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), we are required to review goodwill for impairment at least annually or more often if there are indicators of impairment present. We perform our annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each year. The provisions of SFAS 142 require that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is considered not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

Determining the number of reporting units and the fair value of a reporting unit requires us to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and determination of appropriate market comparables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. In addition, we make judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to each of our reporting units.

As a result of the annual goodwill impairment analysis, we were required to recognize a $1.3 billion goodwill impairment charge in our 2007 statement of operations related to three of our reporting units in the Graphics and the former Consumer Electronics segments. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units included: (a) cash flow periods of 10 years; (b) terminal values based upon terminal growth rates ranging from 3.0 percent to 7.0 percent; and (c) discount rates ranging from 13.1 percent to 15.3 percent which were based on our weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for the risks associated with the operations. A variance in the discount rate could have had a significant impact on the amount of the goodwill impairment charge recorded. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill, which totaled $1.9 billion at December 29, 2007. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material negative change in our relationships with significant customers.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We consider quarterly whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. These indicators may include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of an asset and significant changes in the extent or manner in which an asset is used. If these or other indicators are present, we test for recoverability of the asset by determining whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question are less than their carrying value. If less, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods. Significant judgment is involved in estimating future cash flows and deriving the discount rate to apply to the estimated future cash flows and in evaluating the results of appraisals or other valuation methods. If the asset determined to be impaired is to be held and used, we recognize an impairment loss through a charge to our operating results which also reduces the carrying basis of the related asset. The new carrying value of the related asset is depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. We also must make subjective judgments regarding the remaining useful life of the asset. We may incur additional impairment losses in future periods if factors influencing our estimates of the undiscounted cash flows change.

Income Taxes. In determining taxable income for financial statement reporting purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement reporting purposes.

We must assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we must increase our provision for taxes by recording a charge to income tax expense, in the form of a valuation

allowance, for the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable. We consider past performance, future expected taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance.

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax rules and the potential for future adjustment of our uncertain tax positions by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing jurisdiction. If our estimates of these taxes are greater or less than actual results, an additional tax benefit or charge will result.

Results of Operations

We review and assess operating performance using segment net revenues and operating income (loss) before interest, other income (expense), equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other, income taxes and minority interest. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management’s judgment.

Prior to December 21, 2005, we had the following three reportable segments:

•

the Computation Products segment, which included microprocessor products for desktop and mobile PCs, servers and workstations and AMD chipset products;

•

the Memory Products segment, which included Spansion Flash memory products; and

•

the Personal Connectivity Solutions segment, which included embedded processors for global commercial and consumer markets.

On December 21, 2005, Spansion completed its IPO. Following the IPO, our ownership interest in Spansion was reduced from 60 percent to approximately 38 percent of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. In November 2006, we sold 21 million shares of Spansion’s Class A common stock in an underwritten public offering. As a result of this sale, as of December 31, 2006 we owned approximately 21 percent of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. During 2007, we further reduced our interest in Spansion by selling approximately 14 million additional shares of Spansion’s Class A common stock, leaving us with approximately 14 million shares, or a 10.4 percent ownership interest in Spansion’s outstanding common stock as of December 29, 2007.

As a result of Spansion’s IPO, our financial results of operations included Spansion’s financial results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary through December 20, 2005. From December 21, 2005, Spansion’s operating results and financial position were not consolidated as part of our financial results. Instead, we applied the equity method of accounting to reflect our share of Spansion’s net loss from December 21, 2005 through September 20, 2007. Under the equity method of accounting, our share of Spansion’s net loss impacts our net income (loss). On September 20, 2007, we changed the accounting for our investment in Spansion from the equity method to accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities pursuant to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity because we no longer had the ability to exercise significant influence over Spansion’s operations (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Effective September 20, 2007, we are required to mark the investment to its current market price and book an impairment charge to the investment through earnings if the loss related to the market price change is deemed to be other than temporary. Accordingly, our operating results for the years ended December 25, 2005, December 31, 2006, and December 29, 2007 related to our investment in Spansion are not fully comparable with each other.

Following Spansion’s IPO, from December 26, 2005 through October 24, 2006, we had two reportable segments:

•

the Computation Products segment, which included microprocessors, AMD chipsets and related revenue; and

•

the Embedded Products segment, which included embedded processors and related revenue.

As a result of the acquisition of ATI, effective October 25, 2006, we had the following four reportable segments:

•

the Computation Products segment, which included microprocessors, AMD chipsets and related revenue;

•

the Embedded Products segment, which included embedded processors and related revenue;

•

the Graphics and Chipsets segment, which included graphics, video and multimedia products and chipsets sold by ATI prior to the acquisition and related revenue; and

•

the Consumer Electronics segment, which included products used in handheld devices, digital televisions and other consumer electronics products as well as related revenue and revenue for royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporated our technology.

Starting in the first quarter of 2007, in conjunction with the integration of ATI’s operations into ours, we began reviewing and addressing operating performance using the following three reportable segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which includes what was formerly the Computation Products segment and the Embedded Products segment, as well as revenue from sales of ATI chipsets;

•

the Graphics segment, which includes graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue; and

•

the Consumer Electronics segment, which includes products used in handheld devices, digital televisions and other consumer electronics products, as well as revenue from royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporate our graphics technology.

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which includes microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors and related revenue; and

•

In addition to the reportable segments, we have an All Other category, which is not a reportable segment. This category includes certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the operating segments because we do not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the operating segments. Following the ATI acquisition, we began including employee stock-based compensation expense, profit sharing expense, ATI acquisition-related and integration charges and charges for goodwill and intangible asset impairment in the All Other category. Also, this category included the sale of Personal Internet Communicator (PIC) products from the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2006, when the manufacturing of PIC products ceased.

We use a 52- to 53-week fiscal year. Prior to December 31, 2006, our fiscal year ended on the last Sunday in December. Commencing in 2007, our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December. The years ended December 29, 2007 and December 25, 2005 each included 52 weeks, and the year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of 53 weeks. References in this report to 2007, 2006 and 2005 shall refer to the fiscal year unless explicitly stated otherwise.

The following is a summary of our net revenue and operating income (loss), by segment, from continuing operations, for 2007, 2006 and 2005. This segment information has been reclassified to conform to the reportable segment structure adopted in the second quarter of 2008.

Computing Solutions

Computing Solutions net revenue of $4.7 billion in 2007 decreased by $665 million or 12 percent compared to net revenue of $5.4 billion in 2006 despite the inclusion of revenue from the sale of ATI chipsets for the full fiscal year in 2007 as compared to only nine weeks in 2006. Net revenue decreased as a result of a 32 percent decrease in average selling prices of products included in our Computing Solutions segment, partially offset by a 30 percent increase in unit shipments. The decrease in average selling prices was primarily caused by a decrease in the average selling prices of our microprocessor products. Microprocessor average selling prices decreased due to both competitive market conditions and a higher concentration of sales of processors for desktop and notebook PCs in 2007, which generally carry lower average selling prices than our processors for servers. In particular, our competitor first offered quad-core multi-chip module processors for servers and desktop PCs in November 2006, and these products were available throughout 2007. We first introduced our quad-core products for servers in August 2007 and for desktop PCs in November 2007. However, we did not achieve significant volume shipments of these products in 2007, and sales of these products did not significantly contribute to 2007 revenue. In light of the timing of our quad-core product introductions and their lack of broad availability during 2007, we discounted the selling price of certain competing processor products. Unit shipments increased primarily due to the inclusion of ATI chipset sales, which accounted for 76 percent of the increase, and increased customer demand for our microprocessors for notebook PCs, which accounted for 24 percent of the increase. However, we did achieve record unit shipments in 2007 with respect to our microprocessor products.

Computing Solutions net revenue of $5.4 billion in 2006 increased $1.5 billion or 38 percent compared to net revenue of $3.9 billion in 2005. Although 2006 included revenue from sales of ATI chipsets from October 25, 2006 through December 31, 2006, it was not material. Net revenue increased as a result of a 39 percent increase in unit shipments of products included in our Computing Solutions segment. The increase in unit shipments in 2006 was caused primarily by an increase in unit shipments of our microprocessor products due to increased demand for processors in each of the desktop, server and mobile categories. However, we believe that the challenge we experienced with the ability of our supply chain to keep up with the increased demand across a diverse set of customers and geographies and to deliver products on a timely basis in the second half of 2006 had an adverse impact on microprocessor unit shipments. Moreover, despite a richer product mix in 2006, average selling prices remained relatively flat in 2006 as compared to 2005. Higher microprocessor average selling prices in the first half of 2006 were offset by lower microprocessor average selling prices in the second half of 2006 due to competitive market conditions. Specifically, in the second half of 2006 aggressive pricing by our principal competitor in an attempt to regain market share adversely impacted our microprocessor average selling prices. Our competitor also launched its quad-core multi-chip module processors in November 2006, and since we did not offer quad-core products during this period, we discounted the selling price of certain of our competing products during the fourth quarter, which adversely impacted our microprocessor average selling prices, margins and profitability.

Computing Solutions operating loss was $712 million in 2007 compared to operating income of $679 million in 2006. The operating loss was primarily due to the $665 million decrease in revenue described above, a $307

million increase in manufacturing expenses, a $329 million increase in research and development expenses and a $91 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses. Research and development expenses and marketing, general and administrative expenses increased for the reasons set forth under “Expenses,” below. Manufacturing expenses increased primarily due to increased volumes of microprocessors, a shift to higher-end microprocessors and the inclusion of ATI’s chipset business in the Computing Solutions segment for a full year in 2007, as opposed to only nine weeks in 2006.

Computing Solutions operating income of $679 million in 2006 increased by $93 million, or 16 percent, compared to operating income of $586 million in 2005. This increase was primarily due to a 38 percent increase in net revenue, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing expenses of $856 million, an increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses of $265 million and an increase in research and development expenses of $219 million. Manufacturing expenses increased primarily to support higher sales volume. Research and development expenses and marketing, general and administrative expenses increased for the reasons set forth under “Expenses,” below.

Graphics

Graphics net revenue and operating loss in 2007 were $992 million and $39 million, respectively. Graphics net revenue and operating loss for the period of October 25, 2006 through December 31, 2006 were $189 million and $6 million, respectively. The increases in revenue and operating losses were due to the inclusion of the operations attributable to the Graphics segment for the full year in 2007 compared to only nine weeks in 2006. We did not sell comparable products prior to the ATI acquisition. Graphics net revenue in the second half of 2007 increased 35 percent over the first half of 2007 due to the successful introduction of new products and the seasonal increase in royalties on game consoles. From the first half of 2007 to the second half of 2007 unit shipments increased by 19 percent and average selling prices increased by 9 percent. The improvement in net revenue was the primary driver that significantly narrowed the operating loss from the first half of 2007 to the second half of 2007. We did not sell comparable products prior to the ATI acquisition.

Memory Products

As a result of Spansion’s IPO in December 2005, we stopped manufacturing and selling memory products. Therefore, we did not have a Memory Products segment in 2006 and 2007.

All Other Category

We did not have any net revenue for the All Other category in 2007. All Other net revenue in 2006 decreased by $10 million from 2005, primarily because we had minimal revenue from sales of PIC products and customers returned previously sold PIC products. Effective as of the third quarter of 2006, we ceased production of PIC products.

All Other operating loss of $923 million in 2007 increased by $254 million compared to an operating loss of $669 million in 2006. The increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to ATI acquisition-related impairment charges of $605 million, which included a goodwill write-down of $504 million and a write-down of specific intangible assets of $101 million and an increase of $115 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets, partially offset by a decrease in ATI acquisition-related charges of $439 million. Acquisition-related charges in 2006 included $416 million in expenses for acquired in-process research and development, which did not recur in 2007. See Part II, Item 7 “MD&A—ATI Acquisition.”

All Other operating loss of $669 million in 2006 increased by $626 million compared to an operating loss of $43 million in 2005. The increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to ATI acquisition-related charges of $506 million and an increase in employee stock-based compensation expense and profit sharing expense of $101 million. ATI acquisition-related charges included an in-process research and development write-off of $416 million, amortization of acquired intangible assets of $22 million, cost of fair value adjustments to acquired inventory of $36 million and a $32 million charge associated with the integration of ATI’s operations, which included termination of some AMD employees, cancellation of some existing contractual obligations and other costs that we incurred to integrate the operations of the two companies.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased to 38 percent in 2007 compared to 50 percent in 2006 primarily due to significantly lower average selling prices for our microprocessor products in 2007 compared to 2006. Gross margin percentage in the first half of 2007 was also negatively impacted by higher manufacturing unit costs for our microprocessor products due to a shift in our product mix to higher-end microprocessors and increased depreciation expenses associated with the expansion of Fab 36. However, manufacturing efficiencies, improved inventory management, and a richer product mix in the second half of 2007 offset the unfavorable impact in the first half of 2007. On an annual basis, the inclusion of ATI’s lower margin operations in our consolidated operations adversely impacted our gross margins by approximately two percentage points.

Gross margin increased to 50 percent in 2006 compared to 41 percent in 2005 because we did not consolidate Spansion’s results of operations, which historically had lower margins, with ours in 2006. Gross margin decreased to 50 percent in 2006 compared to gross margin, excluding the Memory Products segment, of 56 percent in 2005. Higher gross margins in the first half of 2006 were more than offset by lower gross margins in the second half of 2006. This decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased manufacturing unit costs and flat average selling prices due to competitive market conditions in the second half of 2006. The increase in manufacturing unit costs was primarily due to a shift in our product mix to higher-end microprocessor products. In addition, consolidated gross margin was adversely impacted by approximately two percentage points due to the consolidation of ATI’s operations into ours from October 25, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Gross margin was also adversely impacted by approximately one percentage point due to the costs of fair value adjustments related to the inventory we acquired through the ATI acquisition.

We record grants and allowances that we receive from the State of Saxony and the Federal Republic of Germany for Fab 30 or Fab 36 as long-term liabilities on our consolidated financial statements. We amortize these amounts as they are earned as a reduction to operating expenses. We record the amortization of the production related grants and allowances as a credit to cost of sales. The credit to cost of sales totaled $138 million in 2007, $116 million in 2006 and $72 million in 2005. The fluctuations in the recognition of these credits have not significantly impacted our gross margins.

Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $526 million, or 45 percent, from $1.2 billion in 2006 to $1.7 billion in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to: a $329 million increase in research and development expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment and a $189 million increase in research and development expenses attributable to our Graphics segment. Research and development expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment increased due primarily to higher product design costs for our next generation microprocessor products. In addition, research and development expenses attributable to ATI’s chipset business were included for the full year in 2007 compared to only nine weeks in 2006. Research and development expenses attributable to our Graphics segment increased primarily due to the inclusion of operations related to these segments for the full fiscal year in 2007 compared to nine weeks in 2006.

Research and development expenses increased $30 million, or 3 percent, from $1.1 billion in 2005 to $1.2 billion in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to: a $219 million increase in research and development expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment primarily due to an increase in silicon design, platform and product development costs for our microprocessor products partially offset by a $10 million lower corporate bonus expense, an increase of $42 million due to the consolidation of research and development expenses attributable to our Graphics segment from October 25, 2006 through December 31, 2006, and a $48 million increase in stock-based compensation and profit sharing expenses. Fiscal 2006 research and development expenses were partially offset by the absence of research and development expenses related to Spansion’s operations because we did not consolidate Spansion’s results of operations into ours in 2006. In 2005, research and development expenses attributable to our Memory Products segment were $290 million.

From time to time, we also apply for and obtain subsidies from the State of Saxony, the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union for certain research and development projects. We record the amortization of the research and development related grants and allowances, as well as the research and development subsidies, as a reduction of research and development expenses when all conditions and requirements set forth in the subsidy grant are met. The credit to research and development expenses totaled $30 million in 2007, $27 million in 2006 and $44 million in 2005.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $214 million, or 19 percent, from $1.1 billion in 2006 to $1.3 billion in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to: a $91 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment, a $112 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Graphics segment, and an $11 million increase in severance charges for workforce reductions. Marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment increased due to expansion of marketing programs for our microprocessor products, increased legal expenses and additional investments in information technology, partially offset by a nine million reduction in corporate bonus expense. Marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Graphics segment increased primarily due to the inclusion of the operations related to these segments for the full fiscal year in 2007 compared to nine weeks in 2006.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $117 million, or 12 percent, from $1.0 billion in 2005 to $1.1 billion in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to a $270 million increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Computing Solutions segment primarily due to: a $215 million increase in marketing, branding and cooperative advertising costs for our microprocessor products, partially offset by $18 million lower corporate bonus expense and an increase of $21 million due to the consolidation of marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Graphics segment from October 25, 2006 to December 31, 2006, and a $44 million increase in stock-based compensation and profit sharing expenses. The

increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by the absence of marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to Spansion’s operations because we did not consolidate Spansion’s results of operations into ours in 2006. In 2005, marketing, general and administrative expenses attributable to our Memory Products segment were $208 million.

In-process research and development, amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges, and impairment to goodwill and acquired intangible assets.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges in 2007 included amortization of $271 million, of which $134 million related to the Handheld and Digital Television businesses is included in discontinued operations, and integration charges of $28 million. During 2007, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 billion associated with our goodwill and acquired intangible assets, of which $1.0 billion related to the Handheld and Digital Television businesses is included in discontinued operations. See Part II, Item 7 “MD&A—“ATI Acquisition.”

In-process research and development charges of $416 million in 2006 related to projects acquired in connection with the acquisition of ATI. Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges in 2006 included amortization of $47 million, of which $25 million related to the Handheld and Digital Television businesses is included in discontinued operations, and integration charges of $32 million. See Part II, Item 7 “MD&A—“ATI Acquisition.”

Effects of 2002 Restructuring Plan

In December 2002, we began implementing a restructuring plan (the 2002 Restructuring Plan) to further align our cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory.

The 2002 Restructuring Plan resulted in the consolidation of facilities, primarily at our Sunnyvale, California site and at sales offices worldwide. We vacated and are attempting to sublease certain facilities that we currently occupy under long-term operating leases through 2011. At December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had approximately $50 million and $67 million of related vacated facility lease accruals recorded which will continue to be paid through 2011.

Interest Income

Interest income of $73 million in 2007 decreased $43 million from $116 million in 2006, primarily due to lower average cash and marketable securities balances in 2007 compared to 2006, partially offset by a 7 percent increase in weighted-average interest rates in 2007 compared to 2006.

Interest income of $116 million in 2006 increased from $37 million in 2005, primarily due to an increase in average cash and marketable securities during 2006 compared to 2005 and a 54 percent increase in weighted-average interest rates.

Interest Expense


	2007			2006			2005
	(In millions)
Total interest charges	$	390		$	136		$	140
Less: interest capitalized		(23	)		(10	)		(35	)

Interest expense	$	367		$	126		$	105

Interest expense of $367 million in 2007 increased $241 million from $126 million in 2006 primarily due to increased outstanding indebtedness as follows:

•

Interest expense incurred on our 6.00% Notes issued in April 2007 and our 5.75% Notes issued in August 2007, which were not outstanding in 2006, was $93 million and $35 million, respectively;

•

Interest expense incurred on the Fab 36 Term Loan increased by $61 million because we incurred a full year of interest expense in 2007 as opposed to approximately 11 weeks in 2006;

•

Interest expense incurred on the October 2006 Term Loan increased by $56 million because we incurred interest expense through August 2007, or almost three full quarters in 2007, as opposed to only nine weeks of interest expense in 2006; and

•

Interest expense incurred on capital lease payments was approximately $11 million higher in 2007 due to increased assets acquired under capital leases.

These increases were offset by the following reductions in interest expense:

•

Capitalized interest expense, which was primarily related to the continuing expansion of Fab 36, was two million higher in 2007 compared to 2006; and

•

Capitalized interest expense in connection with new projects in 2007, including construction of our new campus in Austin, Texas of six million and the Fab 38 facility in Dresden, Germany of five million.

Interest expense of $126 million in 2006 increased $21 million from $105 million in 2005 primarily for the following reasons:

•

Interest expense incurred on the October 2006 Term Loan and the Fab 36 Term Loan was $38 million and $10 million. These loans were not outstanding in 2005;

•

Interest expense incurred on capital lease payments was approximately $11 million higher in 2006 due to increased assets acquired under capital leases; and

•

Capitalized interest expense, which was primarily related to Fab 36, was $25 million lower in 2006 compared to 2005.

These factors were offset by the following factors:

•

During 2006 we did not consolidate Spansion’s results of operations, and therefore interest expense on Spansion’s third-party debt, which was $24 million for 2005, was not included in 2006;

•

Interest expense incurred on our 4.75% Debentures decreased by $21 million in 2006 compared to 2005 because holders of the 4.75% Debentures converted their debentures into shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2006, whereas during 2005, $500 million of the aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Debentures was outstanding; and

•

Interest expense incurred on our 7.75% Notes decreased by $13 million because we redeemed $210 million of the aggregate principal amount outstanding during the first quarter of 2006.

In September 2007, the FASB exposed for comment a proposed FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. APB 14-a, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (including partial cash settlement). This proposed FSP would change the accounting for certain convertible debt instruments, including our 6.00% Notes. Under the proposed new rules, for convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion, an entity should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of the proposed new rules for our 6.00% Notes is that the equity component would be included in the paid-in-capital portion of stockholders’ equity on our balance sheet and the value of the equity component would be treated as an original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 6.00% Notes. Higher interest expense would result by recognizing accretion of the discounted carrying value of the 6.00% Notes to their face amount as interest expense over the term of the 6.00% Notes. If issued as proposed, the final FSP would provide final guidance effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, would not permit early application, and would be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

In November 2007, the FASB announced that it expected to begin its redeliberations of the proposed FSP in January 2008. Therefore, it is highly unlikely the proposed effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 will be retained.

We cannot predict the exact accounting treatment that will be imposed (which may differ from the foregoing description) or when any change will be finally implemented. However, if the final FSP is issued as exposed, we expect to have higher interest expense starting in the period of adoption due to the interest expense accretion and, if the retrospective application provisions of the proposed FSP are retained in the final FSP, the prior period interest expense associated with the 6.00% Notes would be higher than previously reported due to the retrospective application.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, of an expense of seven million in 2007 decreased six million from an expense of $13 million in 2006 primarily due to a gain of $19 million on the sale of vacant land in Sunnyvale, California in 2007 and six million less in finance charges related to the Fab 36 Term Loan as compared to 2006. This decrease was offset by a non-recurring gain of $10 million associated with Spansion LLC’s repurchase of its 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 in 2006, a higher net charge of two million in 2007 due to charges for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs incurred in connection with our repayment of the October 2006 Term Loan and a reduction of seven million in other income due primarily to impairment charges on an investment recorded in 2007.

Other income (expense), net, of an expense of $13 million in 2006 decreased by $11 million as compared with an expense of $24 million in 2005 primarily due to: a non-recurring loss of approximately $10 million during the fourth quarter of 2005 resulting from the mark-to-market to earnings of certain foreign currency forward contracts which became ineffective in hedging against certain forecasted foreign currency transactions; a gain of $10 million associated with Spansion LLC’s repurchase of its 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 in 2006; an increase in other income of nine million primarily related to a gain on an investment and lower finance charges related to the Fab 36 Term Loan of two million in 2006 as compared to 2005. The decrease was offset by a charge of $16 million related to a debt redemption premium and a charge of four million related to unamortized issuance costs incurred in connection with our redemption of 35 percent of the principal outstanding amount, or $210 million, of our 7.75% Notes in 2006.

Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other

Prior to Spansion’s IPO, we held a 60 percent controlling ownership interest in Spansion. Consequently, Spansion’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows through December 20, 2005 were included in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. Following the IPO, our ownership interest was diluted from 60 percent to approximately 38 percent, and we no longer exercised control over Spansion’s operations. Therefore, starting from December 21, 2005, we used the equity method of accounting to account for our investment in Spansion. In connection with the reduction in our ownership interest in Spansion, we recorded a loss of $110 million in 2005, which represents the difference between Spansion’s book value per share before and after the IPO multiplied by the number of shares we owned. In addition, in 2005 we also wrote off approximately $16 million in goodwill which was originally recorded in June 30, 2003 as a result of the formation of Spansion LLC.

In November 2006, we sold 21,000,000 shares of Spansion Class A common stock in an underwritten public offering. We received $278 million in net proceeds from the offering and realized a gain of six million from the sale. After the offering, we owned approximately 21 percent of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. We continued to use the equity method of accounting to account for our investment in Spansion.

During the first quarter of 2007, we sold 984,799 shares of Spansion Class A common stock. We received $13 million in net proceeds from the sales and realized a gain of $0.6 million. In July 2007, we sold 12,506,694 additional shares of Spansion Class A common stock. We received $144 million in net proceeds from these sales and realized a loss of two million. We continued to use the equity method of accounting to account for our investment in Spansion because, for accounting purposes, we were deemed to continue to have the ability to exercise significant influence over Spansion.

On September 20, 2007, Dr. Ruiz, our Chief Executive Officer, resigned as Chairman of Spansion’s Board of Directors. We also transferred our one share of Class B common stock to Spansion and, accordingly, relinquished the right to appoint a director to Spansion’s Board of Directors. Therefore, we changed our accounting for our investment from the equity method of accounting to accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities.

After giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results, its stock price changes in the preceding six months, and our intention to liquidate our investment, we concluded that this investment was other than temporarily impaired as of September 29, 2007 and again as of December 29, 2007. Therefore, we recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $111 million in 2007, reflecting a write-down of this investment to its fair market value of $56 million.

As of December 29, 2007, we owned a total of 14,037,910 shares, or approximately 10.4 percent, of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. The $56 million carrying value of this investment is included in the caption “Marketable Securities” on our consolidated balance sheet dated December 29, 2007. To the extent that the fair value of our investment in Spansion changes in the future due to fluctuations in Spansion’s common stock price, we would record either an unrealized loss or an unrealized gain within “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” a component of stockholders’ equity on our balance sheet. Should we sell our shares of Spansion in the future, we would record either a realized loss or a realized gain. In addition, to the extent that we conclude that any unrealized loss is other-than-temporary, we would record further impairment charges through earnings.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $31 million in 2007, $15 million in 2006 and a tax provision benefit of seven million in 2005. The income tax provision in 2007 primarily resulted from current foreign taxes reduced by the reversal of deferred U.S. taxes related to indefinite-lived goodwill, resulting from the goodwill impairment charge we recorded during the year, and recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits for tax holidays. The income tax provision in 2006 primarily results from current foreign taxes, plus deferred U.S. taxes related to indefinite-lived goodwill, and reduced by deferred foreign benefits from removing part of the valuation allowance on German net operating loss carryovers of Fab 36. The income tax benefit in 2005 primarily reflects U.S. tax benefits realized from the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits and foreign tax benefits generated by Spansion in certain foreign jurisdictions. Spansion’s IPO did not have a material impact on our tax provision.

As of December 29, 2007 substantially all of our U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance. The realization of these assets is dependent on substantial future taxable income which, at December 29, 2007 in management’s estimate, is not more likely than not to be achieved.

Our gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased by less than one million during the year ended December 29, 2007. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that will affect the effective tax rate decreased by nine million during the year ended December 29, 2007, primarily due to the receipt of a retroactive tax holiday during the fourth quarter of the current year.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits decreased by a net $12 million and a net two million, respectively, for the year ended December 29, 2007. Substantially all of the net reduction in interest and penalties occurred in the third quarter of 2007 and was primarily due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.

During the 12 months beginning December 30, 2007, we expect to reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $43 million primarily from the expiration of certain statutes of limitation and audit resolutions. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that other unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next 12 months. However, the resolution of and/or closure on open audits is highly uncertain.

As of December 29, 2007, the Canadian Revenue Agency, or CRA, is auditing ATI for the years 2000—2004. The audit has been completed and currently is in the review process. As of December 29, 2007, we were not under

audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. However, an IRS audit of AMD’s tax years 2004 and 2005 is scheduled to commence in March 2008. AMD and its subsidiaries have several foreign, foreign provincial, and U.S. state audits in process at any one point in time. We have provided for uncertain tax positions that require a FIN 48 liability.

As a result of the application of FIN 48, we have recognized $61 million of current and long-term deferred tax assets, previously under a valuation allowance, with $61 million of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 29, 2007.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

On December 26, 2005, we adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, based on estimated fair values. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we changed our method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense from the multiple-option (i.e. accelerated) approach to the single option (i.e. straight-line) method. Also, upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we changed the method of valuing stock option awards from the Black-Scholes-Merton (Black-Scholes) option pricing model, which was previously used for our pro forma information disclosures of stock-based compensation expense as required under FASB Statement No. 123, Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123) to a lattice-binomial option-pricing model. The following table summarizes our stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and employee stock purchases pursuant to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan under SFAS 123R for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, which we recorded in our consolidated results of continuing operations as follows:


	Year Ended December 29, 2007		Year Ended December 31, 2006
	(In millions)
Stock-based compensation included as a component of:
Cost of sales	$	11	$	8
Research and development		47		27
Marketing, general, and administrative		48		39

Total stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases		106		74
Tax benefit		—		—

Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases, net of tax included in continuing operations	$	106	$	74

Stock-based compensation included in discontinued operations was $6 million and $3 million for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. We recognized minimal stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 25, 2005.

In anticipation of the adoption of SFAS 123R, beginning in the first quarter of 2006 we changed the quantity and type of instrument we primarily use in stock-based payment programs for our employees by shifting to granting more restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are awards that obligate us to issue a specific number of shares of our common stock if the vesting terms and conditions are satisfied. Restricted stock units based on continued service generally vest over three to four years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units based solely on performance conditions generally do not vest for at least one year from the date of grant. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, all employees below the level of vice president receive restricted stock units and employees at the vice president level and above receive grants of restricted stock units and stock options. As of December 29, 2007, we had $39

million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.45 years. Also, as of December 29, 2007, we had $114 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock and restricted stock units that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.15 years. For additional information on stock-based compensation expense, see Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements.

On April 27, 2005, we accelerated the vesting of all stock options outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and our prior equity compensation plans that had exercise prices per share higher than the closing price of our stock on April 27, 2005, which was $14.51. Options to purchase approximately 12 million shares of our common stock became exercisable immediately. Options held by non-employee directors were not included in the vesting acceleration.

The primary purpose for accelerating the vesting was to eliminate future compensation expense we would otherwise recognize in our statement of operations with respect to these accelerated options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R. The acceleration of the vesting of these options did not result in a charge because such options were out of the money.

On December 15, 2005, we accelerated the vesting of all outstanding AMD stock options and restricted stock units held by Spansion employees that would otherwise have vested from December 16, 2005 to December 31, 2006. In connection with the modification of the terms of these options to accelerate their vesting, we recorded $1.2 million as non-cash compensation expense on a pro forma basis in accordance with SFAS 123, and this amount was included in the pro forma stock compensation expense for the year ended December 25, 2005.

The primary purpose for accelerating the vesting of these awards was to minimize future compensation expense that we and Spansion would otherwise have been required to recognize in Spansion’s and our respective statements of operations with respect to these awards. If we had not accelerated the vesting of these awards, they would have been subject to variable accounting in accordance with the guidance provided in EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Service and EITF Issue No. 00-12, Accounting by an Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method Investee. This accounting treatment would have applied because following Spansion’s IPO, we no longer consolidated Spansion’s results of operations in our financial statements. Accordingly, Spansion employees were no longer considered our employees. Under variable fair value accounting, we would have been required to re-measure the fair value of unvested stock-based awards of our common stock held by Spansion employees after Spansion’s IPO at the end of each accounting period until such awards were fully vested.

In connection with the acceleration of the vesting of these awards, we recorded a compensation charge in the fourth quarter of 2005 of $1.5 million, which was based on the estimated forfeiture rate of 7.94 percent. The actual forfeitures for 2006 were not materially different from the estimate used.

International Sales

International sales as a percent of net revenue were 88 percent in 2007, 75 percent in 2006 and 79 percent in 2005. The increase in international sales from 2006 to 2007 was attributable to the inclusion of sales of our graphics and chipsets products to contract manufacturers and add-in-board manufacturers based outside the United States, principally in China and Taiwan, for the full year in 2007 compared to nine weeks in 2006. In 2007 and 2006, primarily all of our net revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars. During 2005, approximately 14 percent of our net revenue was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Japanese yen.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 29, 2007 totaled $1.9 billion and our debt and capital lease obligations totaled $5.3 billion. Cash used in operating, investing or financing activities for discontinued operations is not material and has been combined with cash flows from continuing operations within consolidated statements of cash flows categories.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $310 million in 2007. Our net loss of $3.4 billion was adjusted for non-cash charges consisting primarily of $1.6 billion of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible impairment charges, $1.3 billion of depreciation and amortization expense, $154 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges on our investment in Spansion stock and $112 million of stock-based compensation expense. These charges were partially offset by amortization to income of foreign grants and subsidies of $167 million. The net changes in our operating assets at December 29, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 included a decrease of $503 million in accounts receivable partially offset by a decrease of $321 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase of $134 million in prepaid and other current assets. Our accounts receivable balance decreased due to greater efficiency in management and collection of accounts receivables. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased due to the timing of payments partially offset by increases in accrued interest and accruals for technology license payment obligations. The increase in prepaid and other assets was driven by increases in receivables for foreign grants and subsidies, purchases of technology licenses and an increase in prepaid insurance.

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.3 billion in 2006. Our net loss of $166 million was adjusted for non-cash charges consisting primarily of $837 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $416 million for the write-off of in-process research and development expenses related to the ATI acquisition, stock-based compensation expense of $77 million, and $45 million related to an equity interest in the net loss of Spansion. These charges were partially offset by amortization of foreign grants and subsidies of $151 million. The net changes in our operating assets at December 31, 2006 compared to December 25, 2005 included an increase of $530 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in payables to related parties of $229 million and an increase of $175 million in other assets. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily related to higher purchases of raw materials, technology license payment obligations, and marketing accruals due to increased operations in the Computing Solutions segment. The decrease in payables to related parties is a result of our no longer shipping products and invoicing customers on behalf of Spansion after the second quarter of 2006. Prior to the second quarter of 2006, we shipped products to and invoiced Spansion’s customers in our name on behalf of Spansion and remitted the receipts to Spansion. The increase in other assets was primarily due to purchases of new technology licenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.5 billion in 2005. Our net income of $165 million was adjusted for non-cash charges consisting primarily of $1.2 billion of depreciation and amortization expense, a non-cash charge of approximately $110 million that we incurred as a result of the dilution of our ownership in Spansion from 60 percent to approximately 38 percent in conjunction with Spansion’s IPO, and a non-cash charge of $16 million in connection with our write-off of goodwill that was generated as of June 30, 2003 as a result of the formation of Spansion LLC on June 30, 2003. These charges were partially offset by minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries of $125 million and amortization of foreign grants and subsidies of $110 million. The net changes in our operating assets at December 31, 2005 compared to December 25, 2004 included increases of $313 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $206 million in payables to related parties, partially offset by a $276 million increase in accounts receivable. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily attributable to the purchase of Fab 36 equipment. The increases in payables to related parties resulted from the separation of our operations from Spansion and the subsequent arrangement to ship and invoice customers on behalf of Spansion and remit the receipts to Spansion. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Spansion’s results of operations from ours as a result of Spansion’s IPO.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.7 billion in 2007. We used $1.7 billion to purchase property, plant and equipment, including approximately $691 million to purchase equipment for Fab 36. We also purchased $545 million in available-for-sale securities. This was offset by $307 million in proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities, $157 million in proceeds from sales of Spansion shares, $73 million from sales of assets, including excess land in Sunnyvale, California and 200-millimeter wafer fabrication equipment and $18 million in other investing activities, consisting primarily of buyer deposits on assets to be sold.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4.3 billion in 2006. We used $3.9 billion, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired, to acquire ATI, and $1.9 billion to purchase property, plant and equipment, including approximately $987 million to purchase equipment for Fab 36. This was partially offset by a net cash inflow of $947 million from sales and maturities of available for sale securities, $278 million from sales of Spansion shares, and $175 million of proceeds from Spansion’s repurchase of its 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.3 billion in 2005. We used $1.5 billion to purchase property, plant and equipment, including approximately $726 million to construct and equip Fab 36. We also purchased a net amount of $885 million in available-for-sale securities, including a purchase of $175 million aggregate principal amount of Spansion’s 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes for approximately $159 million. We received $261 million in proceeds from Spansion’s repayment of amounts outstanding under promissory notes to us, partially offset by a decrease of $133 million in cash due to the deconsolidation of Spansion’s results of operations from ours.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.0 billion in 2007 and consisted primarily of proceeds of: $2.2 billion from the issuance and sale of our 6.00% Notes during the second quarter of 2007; $1.5 billion from the issuance and sale of our 5.75% Notes during the third quarter of 2007; $608 million from the sale of our common stock to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company in the fourth quarter of 2007; $78 million from the sale of stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of employee stock options; and $223 million of capital investment grants and allowances received from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony, chiefly for the Fab 36 project. These proceeds were partially offset by the $2.2 billion repayment of our October 2006 Term Loan, a payment of $182 million for the purchase of a capped call in connection with the issuance of our 6.00% Notes and a payment of $46 million for our mandatory repurchase of silent partner contributions from our unaffiliated partners in AMD Fab 36 KG.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.8 billion in 2006, and consisted primarily of proceeds of: $3.4 billion from borrowings under the October 2006 Term Loan and the Fab 36 Term Loan; proceeds of $495 million from the sale of our common stock in an equity offering; $231 million from the sale of stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of employee stock options; and capital investment grants and allowances from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony for the Fab 36 project of $210 million. These amounts were offset by $539 million in payments on debt and capital lease obligations, primarily due to our redemption of 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount outstanding (or $210 million) of our 7.75% Notes, and $284 million to repay a portion of the amount outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan. During 2006, we did not realize any excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Therefore, we did not record any related financing cash flow.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $494 million in 2005. This amount included $186 million in proceeds from borrowings by Spansion and $60 million of silent partnership contributions from the unaffiliated partners of AMD Fab 36 KG, which we classify as debt, approximately $90 million in investments from these unaffiliated partners, $189 million in proceeds from the sale of stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of stock options; and capital investment grants and allowances from the Federal Republic of Germany and the Free State of Saxony for the Fab 36 project of $163 million and $129 million of proceeds from equipment sale and leaseback transactions completed by Spansion. These amounts were offset by $316 million in payments on debt and capital lease obligations.

Liquidity

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances at December 29, 2007, anticipated cash flows from operations and available external financing will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital investments in the next twelve months and over the longer term, including the approximately $1.1 billion we plan to spend for capital expenditures during fiscal 2008. Should additional funding be required, such as to meet payment obligations of our long-term debt when due, we may need to raise the required funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities, which may be issued from time to time under an effective registration statement, through the issuance of securities in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or a combination of one or more of the foregoing.

We believe that, in the event additional funding is required, we will be able to access the capital markets on terms and in amounts adequate to meet our objectives. However, given the possibility of changes in market conditions or other occurrences, there can be no certainty that such funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

We have an ongoing authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $300 million worth of our common stock over a period of time to be determined by management. These repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. We are not required to repurchase any particular amount of our common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at our discretion. During fiscal 2007, we did not repurchase any of our equity securities pursuant to this Board authorized program.

At this point in time we believe the current credit market difficulties do not have a material impact on our financial position or liquidity. However, a future degradation in credit market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity.

5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012

In connection with the issuance and sale of the 5.75% Notes, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the 5.75% Registration Rights Agreement), dated August 14, 2007, between us and Lehman Brothers Inc. (the initial purchaser), pursuant to which we agreed to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the resale by holders of the 5.75% Notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 5.75% Notes, use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective and keep the registration statement effective for the period described in the 5.75% Registration Rights Agreement. On November 7, 2007, we filed a shelf registration statement that was automatically declared effective. We will file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statement, prepare and file a supplement to the prospectus, or file a new shelf registration statement on a quarterly basis in order to include any additional selling security holders in the shelf registration statement. We could be subject to paying additional interest on the 5.75% Notes for the period during which a default under the 5.75% Registration Rights Agreement exists.

6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015

In connection with the issuance and sale of the 6.00% Notes, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the 6.00% Registration Rights Agreement), dated April 27, 2007, between us and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as representative of the several initial purchasers of the 6.00% Notes, pursuant to which we agreed to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the resale by holders of the 6.00% Notes and the 6.00% Conversion Shares, use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective and keep the registration statement effective for the period described in the 6.00% Registration Rights Agreement. On July 13, 2007 we filed a shelf registration statement that was automatically declared effective. We will file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statement, prepare and file a supplement to the prospectus, or file a new shelf registration statement on a quarterly basis in order to include any additional selling security holders in the shelf registration statement. We could be subject to paying additional interest on the 6.00% Notes for the period during which a default under the 6.00% Registration Rights Agreement exists.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.00% Notes, on April 24, 2007, we purchased the capped call. The capped call has an initial strike price of $28.08 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which matches the initial conversion price of the 6.00% Notes, and a cap price of $42.12 per share. The capped call is intended to reduce the potential common stock dilution to then existing stockholders upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes because the call option allows us to receive shares of common stock from the counterparty generally equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes. We do not anticipate experiencing an increase in the number of shares outstanding from the conversion of the 6.00% Notes unless the price of our common stock appreciates above $42.12 per share. If, however, the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call, exceeds the cap price of the capped call, there would be dilution to the extent that the then market value per share of the common stock exceeds the cap price. We analyzed the capped call under EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock, and determined that it meets the criteria for classification as an equity transaction. As a result, we have recorded the purchase of the capped call as a reduction in additional paid-in capital and will not recognize subsequent changes in its fair value.

The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $2.2 billion. We used approximately $182 million of the net proceeds to purchase the capped call and applied $500 million of the net proceeds to prepay a portion of the amount outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan. In connection with this repayment, we recorded a charge of approximately five million to write off unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the October 2006 Term Loan repayment.

In November 2007, the FASB announced it is expected to begin its redeliberations of the proposed FSP in January 2008. Therefore, it is highly unlikely the proposed effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 will be retained.

We cannot predict the exact accounting treatment that will be imposed (which may differ from the foregoing description) or when any change will be finally implemented. However, if the final FSP is issued as exposed, we expect to have higher interest expense starting in the period of adoption due to the interest expense accretion and, if the retrospective application provisions of the proposed FSP are retained in the final FSP, our prior period interest expense associated with the 6.00% Notes would be higher than previously reported due to retrospective application.

Fab 36 Term Loan and Guarantee and Fab 36 Partnership Agreements

Our 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility, Fab 36, is located in Dresden, Germany at our wafer fabrication site. Fab 36 is owned by AMD Fab 36 Limited Liability Company & Co. KG (or AMD Fab 36 KG), a German limited partnership. We control the management of AMD Fab 36 KG through a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, AMD Fab 36 LLC, which is a general partner of AMD Fab 36 KG. AMD Fab 36 KG is our indirect consolidated subsidiary.

To date, we have provided a significant portion of the financing for Fab 36. In addition to our financing, Leipziger Messe GmbH, a nominee of the State of Saxony, Fab 36 Beteiligungs GmbH, an investment consortium arranged by M+W Zander Facility Engineering GmbH, the general contractor for the project, and a consortium of banks have provided financing for the project. Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs are limited partners in AMD Fab 36 KG. We have also received grants and allowances from federal and state German authorities for the Fab 36 project.

The funding to construct and facilitize Fab 36 consists of:

•

equity contributions from us of $860 million under the partnership agreements, revolving loans from us of up to approximately $1.1 billion, and guarantees from us for amounts owed by AMD Fab 36 KG and its affiliates to the lenders and unaffiliated partners;

•

investments of approximately $471 million from Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs;

•

loans of approximately $893 million from a consortium of banks, which were fully drawn as of December 2006;

•

up to approximately $798 million of subsidies consisting of grants and allowances from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony, depending on the level of capital investments by AMD Fab 36 KG, of which $541 million of cash has been received as of December 29, 2007;

•

up to approximately $386 million of subsidies consisting of grants and allowances, from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony, depending on the level of capital investments in connection with expansion of production capacity at our Dresden site, of which $17 million of cash has been received as of December 29, 2007; and

•

a loan guarantee from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony of 80 percent of the losses sustained by the lenders referenced above after foreclosure on all other security.

As of December 29, 2007, we contributed to AMD Fab 36 KG the full amount of equity required under the partnership agreements and no loans from us were outstanding. These equity amounts have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

On October 13, 2006, we executed an Amendment Agreement dated as of October 10, 2006, which amended the terms of the Fab 36 Term Loan. Under the amended and restated Fab 36 Term Loan, AMD Fab 36 KG has the option to borrow in U.S. dollars as long as our group consolidated cash (which is defined as the sum of our unsecured cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments less the aggregate amount outstanding under any revolving credit facility) is at least $500 million. Moreover, to protect the lenders from currency risks, if our consolidated cash is below one billion or our credit rating drops below B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 KG will be required to maintain a cash reserve account with deposits equal to 5 percent of the amount of U.S. dollar loans outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan and to make balancing payments into this account equal to the difference between (x) the total amount of U.S. dollar loans outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan and (y) the U.S dollar equivalent of 700 million euros (as reduced by repayments, prepayments, cancellations, and any outstanding loans denominated in euros.

In October 2006, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed $645 million under the Fab 36 Term Loan (the First Installment). In December 2006, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed $248 million under the Fab 36 Term Loan (the Second Installment). As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 KG had borrowed the full amount available under the Fab 36 Term Loan and the total amount outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan was $839 million. AMD Fab 36 KG may select an interest period of one, two, or three months or any other period agreed between AMD Fab 36 KG and the lenders. The rate of interest on each installment for the interest period selected is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable margin, plus LIBOR plus minimum reserve cost if any. As of December 29, 2007, the rate of interest for the initial interest period was 7.09875 percent for the First Installment and 6.7175 percent for the Second Installment. This loan is repayable in quarterly installments, which commenced in September 2007 and terminates in March 2011. An aggregate of $54 million has been repaid as of December 29, 2007.

The amended and restated Fab 36 Term Loan also sets forth certain covenants applicable to AMD Fab 36 KG. For example, for as long as group consolidated cash is at least one billion, our credit rating is at least B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, and no event of default has occurred, the only financial covenant that AMD Fab 36 KG is required to comply with is a loan to fixed asset value covenant. Specifically, the loan to fixed asset value (as defined in the agreement) as at the end of any relevant period specified in Column A below cannot exceed the percentage set out opposite such relevant period in Column B below:


Column A (Relevant Period)		Column B (Maximum Percentage of Loan to Fixed Asset Value)
up to and including 31 December 2008		50 percent
up to and including 31 December 2009		45 percent
thereafter		40 percent

As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 KG was in compliance with this covenant.

If group consolidated cash is less than one billion or our credit rating is below B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 KG will also be required to maintain minimum cash balances equal to the lesser of 100 million euros and 50 percent of the total outstanding amount under the Fab 36 Term Loan. AMD Fab 36 KG may elect to maintain the minimum cash balances in an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars if group consolidated cash is at least $500 million. If on any scheduled repayment date, our credit rating is Caa2 or lower by Moody’s or CCC or lower by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 must increase the minimum cash balances by five percent of the total outstanding amount, and at each subsequent request of Dresdner Bank, by a further five percent of the total outstanding amount until such time as either the credit rating increases to at least Ba3 by Moody’s and BB- by Standard & Poor’s or the minimum cash balances are equal to the total outstanding amounts. Our credit rating was B1 with Moody’s and B with Standard and Poor’s as of December 29, 2007.

AMD Fab 36 KG pledged substantially all of its current and future assets as security under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements, we pledged our equity interest in AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 LLC, AMD Fab 36 Holding pledged its equity interest in AMD Fab 36 Admin and its partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG and AMD Fab 36 Admin and AMD Fab 36 LLC pledged all of their partnership interests in AMD Fab 36 KG. We guaranteed the obligations of AMD Fab 36 KG to the lenders under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements. We also guaranteed repayment of grants and allowances by AMD Fab 36 KG, should such repayment be required pursuant to the terms of the subsidies provided by the federal and state German authorities.

As of December 29, 2007, group consolidated cash was greater than $500 million and, therefore, the preceding financial covenants were not applicable.

In addition, if our group consolidated cash declines below the amounts set forth above, we would be required to maintain EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) as of the last day of each preceding fiscal period set forth below in an amount not less than the amount set forth below opposite the date of such preceding fiscal period:

Also on April 21, 2004, AMD, AMD Fab 36 KG, AMD Fab 36 LLC, AMD Fab 36 Holding GmbH, a German company and wholly owned subsidiary of AMD that owns substantially all of our limited partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG, and AMD Fab 36 Admin GmbH, a German company and wholly owned subsidiary of AMD Fab 36 Holding that owns the remainder of our limited partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG, (collectively referred to as the AMD companies) entered into a series of agreements (the partnership agreements) with the unaffiliated limited partners of AMD Fab 36 KG, Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs, relating to the rights and obligations with respect to their limited partner and silent partner contributions in AMD Fab 36 KG. The partnership was established for an indefinite period of time. A partner may terminate its participation in the partnership by giving twelve months advance notice to the other partners. The termination becomes effective at the end of the year following the year during which the notice is given. However, other than for good cause, a partner’s termination will not be effective before December 31, 2015.

The partnership agreements set forth each limited partner’s aggregate capital contribution to AMD Fab 36 KG and the milestones for such contributions. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreements, AMD, through AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin, agreed to provide an aggregate of $860 million, Leipziger Messe agreed to provide an aggregate of $294 million and Fab 36 Beteiligungs agreed to provide an aggregate of $176 million. The capital contributions of Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs are comprised of limited partnership contributions and silent partnership contributions. These contributions were due at various dates upon the achievement of milestones relating to the construction and operation of Fab 36. As of December 29, 2007, all capital contributions were made in full.

In April 2005, we amended the partnership agreements in order to restructure the proportion of Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership and limited partnership contributions. Although the total aggregate amount that Leipziger Messe has agreed to provide remained unchanged, the portion of its contribution that constitutes limited partnership interests was reduced by $74 million while the portion of its contribution that constitutes silent partnership interests was increased by a corresponding amount. In this report, we refer to this additional silent partnership contribution as the New Silent Partnership Amount.

Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreements and subject to the prior consent of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin have a call option over the limited partnership interests held by Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs, first exercisable three and one-half years after the relevant partner has completed the applicable capital contribution and every three years thereafter. Also, commencing five years after completion of the relevant partner’s capital contribution, Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs each have the right to sell their limited partnership interest to third parties (other than competitors), subject to a right of first refusal held by AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin, or to put their limited partnership interest to AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. The put option is thereafter exercisable every three years. Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs also have a put option in the event they are outvoted at AMD Fab 36 KG partners’ meetings with respect to certain specified matters such as increases in the partners’ capital contributions beyond those required by the partnership agreements, investments significantly in excess of the business plan, or certain dispositions of the limited partnership interests of AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. The purchase price under the put option is the partner’s capital account balance plus

accumulated or accrued profits due to such limited partner. The purchase price under the call option is the same amount, plus a premium of five million to Leipziger Messe and a premium of three million to Fab 36 Beteiligungs. The right of first refusal price is the lower of the put option price or the price offered by the third party that triggered the right. We guaranteed the payments under the put options.

In addition, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin are obligated to repurchase the silent partnership interest of Leipziger Messe’s and Fab 36 Beteiligungs’ contributions over time. This mandatory repurchase obligation does not apply to the New Silent Partnership Amount. Specifically, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin were required to repurchase Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership interest of $118 million in annual 25 percent installments commencing in December 2006, and Fab 36 Beteiligungs’ silent partnership interest of $88 million in annual 20 percent installments commencing in October 2005. As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin repurchased $53 million of Fab 36 Beteiligungs’ silent partnership contributions and $59 million of Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership contribution.

The limited partnership contributions that AMD Fab 36 KG received from Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs and the New Silent Partnership Portion described above are not mandatorily redeemable, but rather are subject to redemption outside of the control of AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. In consolidation, we initially record these contributions as minority interest, based on their fair value. Each accounting period, we increase the carrying value of this minority interest toward its ultimate redemption value of these contributions by the guaranteed rate of return of between 11 percent and 13 percent. We classify this periodic accretion of redemption value as minority interest. No separate accounting is required for the put and call options because they are not freestanding instruments and not considered derivatives under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 KG had received $206 million of silent partnership contributions and $265 million of limited partnership contributions, which includes a New Silent Partnership Amount of $74 million, from the unaffiliated partners. These contributions were recorded as debt and minority interest, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to support from us and the consortium of banks referenced above, the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony have agreed to support the Fab 36 project in the form of:

•

a loan guarantee equal to 80 percent of the losses sustained by the lenders after foreclosure on all other security; and

•

subsidies consisting of grants and allowances totaling up to approximately $798 million, depending on the level of capital investments by AMD Fab 36 KG and $386 million, depending on the level of capital investments for expansion of production capacity at our Dresden site.

As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 KG received cash allowances of $320 million for capital investments made in 2003 through 2006 as well as cash grants of $221 million for capital investments made in 2003 through 2007 and a prepayment for capital investments planned for the first half of 2008.

The Fab 36 Loan Agreements also require that we:

•

provide funding to AMD Fab 36 KG if cash shortfalls occur, including funding shortfalls in government subsidies resulting from any defaults caused by AMD Fab 36 KG or its affiliates; and

•

guarantee 100 percent of AMD Fab 36 KG’s obligations under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements until the loans are repaid in full.

•

our failure to provide loans to AMD Fab 36 KG as required under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements;

•

failure to pay any amount due under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements within five days of the due date;

•

occurrence of any event which the lenders reasonably believe has had or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or condition of AMD Fab 36 KG or AMD or their ability to perform under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements;

•

filings or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us, AMD Fab 36 KG or any limited partner;

•

occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Fab 36 Loan Agreements) of AMD;

•

AMD Fab 36 KG’s noncompliance with certain financial covenants, including loan to fixed asset value ratio and, in certain circumstances, a minimum cash covenant.

In general, any default with respect to other indebtedness of AMD or AMD Fab 36 KG that is not cured, would result in a cross-default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements.

The occurrence of a default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements would permit the lenders to accelerate the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan. In addition, the occurrence of a default under this agreement could result in a cross-default under the indenture governing our 7.75% Notes, 6.00% Notes, and 5.75% Notes. We cannot provide assurance that we would be able to obtain the funds necessary to fulfill these obligations. Any such failure would have a material adverse effect on us.

7.75% Senior Notes Due 2012

On October 29, 2004, we issued $600 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2012 in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On April 22, 2005, we exchanged these notes for publicly registered notes which have substantially identical terms as the old notes except that the publicly registered notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and, therefore, do not contain legends restricting their transfer. The 7.75% Notes mature on November 1, 2012. Interest on the 7.75% Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, beginning May 1, 2005. Prior to November 1, 2008, we may redeem some or all of the 7.75% Notes at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a “make-whole” premium, as defined in the indenture governing the 7.75% Notes. Thereafter, we may redeem the 7.75% Notes for cash at the following specified prices plus accrued and unpaid interest:


Period		Price as Percentage of Principal Amount
Beginning on November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009		103.875 percent
Beginning on November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010		101.938 percent
Beginning on November 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011		100.000 percent
On November 1, 2011		100.000 percent

Holders have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of our 7.75% Notes in the event that we undergo a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 7.75% Notes at a repurchase price of 101 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing the 7.75% Notes contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, which include all of our subsidiaries, from:

•

incurring additional indebtedness except specified permitted debt;

•

paying dividends and making other restricted payments;

•

making certain investments if an event of default exists, or if specified financial conditions are not satisfied;

•

creating or permitting certain liens;

•

creating or permitting restrictions on the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us;

•

using the proceeds from sales of assets;

•

entering into certain types of transactions with affiliates; and

•

consolidating, merging or selling our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

In February 2006, we redeemed 35 percent (or $210 million) of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 7.75% Notes. The holders of the 7.75% Notes received 107.75 percent of the principal amount of the 7.75% Notes plus accrued interest. In connection with this redemption, we recorded a charge of approximately $16 million, which represents the 7.75% redemption premium, and a charge of four million, which represents 35 percent of the unamortized issuance costs incurred in connection with the original issuance of the 7.75% Notes.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other Long-Term Liabilities in the Contractual Obligations table above includes $105 million of payments due under certain software and technology licenses that will be paid through 2010 and $26 million related to employee benefit obligations. Other Long-Term Liabilities excludes amounts recorded on our consolidated balance sheet that do not require us to make cash payments, which, as of December 29, 2007, primarily consisted of $401 million of deferred grants and subsidies related to the Fab 30 and Fab 36 projects and a $17 million deferred gain as a result of the sale and leaseback of our headquarters in Sunnyvale, California in 1998.

Other Long Term Liabilities in the Contractual Obligations table above also excludes $51 million of non-current uncertain tax benefits under FIN 48, which are included in the caption, “Other Long Term Liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet at December 29, 2007. Included in the non-current uncertain tax benefits is a potential cash payment of approximately $35 million that could be payable by us upon settlement with a taxing authority. We have not included this amount in the Contractual Obligations table above as we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate regarding the timing of any settlement with the respective taxing authority, if any.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of December 29, 2007, we had aggregate outstanding capital lease obligations of $234 million. Included in this amount is $213 million in obligations under certain energy supply contracts which AMD entered into with local energy suppliers to provide our Dresden, Germany wafer fabrication facilities with utilities (gas, electricity, heating and cooling) to meet the energy demands for our manufacturing requirements. We account for certain fixed payments due under these energy supply arrangements as capital leases pursuant to EITF Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease and FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The capital lease obligations under the energy supply arrangements are payable in monthly installments through 2020.

Operating Leases

We lease certain of our facilities, including our executive offices in Sunnyvale, California, and in some jurisdictions we lease the land on which these facilities are built, under non-cancelable lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2021. We lease certain of our manufacturing and office equipment for terms ranging from one to five years. Our total future non-cancelable lease obligations as of December 29, 2007, were $343 million, of which $50 million is accrued as a liability for certain facilities that were included in our 2002 Restructuring Plan. We will make these payments through 2011.

Unconditional Purchase Commitments

Total non-cancelable purchase commitments as of December 29, 2007, were $2.3 billion for periods through 2020. These purchase commitments include $975 million related to contractual obligations of Fab 30 and Fab 36 to purchase energy and gas and approximately $400 million representing future payments to IBM for the period from December 30, 2007 through 2011 pursuant to our joint development agreement. As IBM’s services are being performed ratably over the life of the agreement, we expense the payments as incurred. The remaining purchase commitments also include non-cancelable contractual obligations to purchase raw materials, natural resources and office supplies.

In connection with the acquisition of ATI, we made several commitments to the Minister of Industry under the Investment Canada Act, including that we will: increase spending on research and development in Canada to a specified amount over the course of a three-year period when compared to ATI’s expenditures in this area in prior years; maintain Canadian employee headcount at specified levels by the end of the three-year anniversary of the acquisition; increase by a specified amount the number of our Canadian employees focusing on research and development; attain specified Canadian capital expenditures over a three-year period; maintain a presence in Canada through a variety of commercial activities for a period of five years; and nominate a Canadian for election to our Board of Directors over the next five years. Our minimum required Canadian capital expenditures and research and development commitments are included in our aggregate unconditional purchase commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees of Indebtedness Recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet

The following table summarizes the principal guarantees issued as of December 29, 2007 related to underlying liabilities that are already recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007 and their expected expiration dates by year. No incremental liabilities are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet for these guarantees.

⁽¹⁾	This amount represents the amount of silent partnership contributions that we are required to repurchase from the unaffiliated limited partners of AMD Fab 36 KG and is exclusive of the guaranteed rate of return of an aggregate of approximately $112 million.

⁽²⁾

This amount represents the payment obligation due to a supplier arising out of the purchase of equipment by our consolidated subsidiary, AMD Fab 36 KG. We guaranteed these payment obligations on behalf of our subsidiary. At December 29, 2007, approximately $24 million was outstanding under this guarantee and recorded as a payable on our consolidated balance sheet. The obligation under the guarantee diminishes as AMD Fab 36 KG pays its supplier.

Guarantees of Indebtedness Not Recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet

AMTC and BAC Guarantees

The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC) and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH & Co. KG (BAC) are joint ventures formed by AMD, Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon) and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. (Dupont) for the purpose of constructing and operating an advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. We procure advanced photomasks from AMTC and use them in manufacturing our microprocessors. In April 2005, DuPont was acquired by Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toppan, named Toppan Photomasks, Inc. In December 2007, Infineon entered into an assignment agreement to transfer its interest in AMTC and BAC to Qimonda AG, with the exception of certain AMTC/BAC related payment guarantees. The assignment became effective in January 2008.

In December 2002, BAC obtained a $110 million term loan to finance the construction of the photomask facility. At the same time, AMTC and BAC, as lessor, entered into a lease agreement. The term of the lease agreement is ten years, which coincides with the repayment by BAC of the $110 million term loan. Each joint venture partner guaranteed a specific percentage of AMTC’s rental payments. Pursuant to an agreement between AMTC, BAC and DuPont (now Toppan), AMTC may exercise a “step-in” right, in which it would assume Toppan’s remaining rental payments in connection with the rental agreement between Toppan and BAC. As of December 29, 2007, our guarantee of AMTC’s portion of the rental obligation was approximately $11 million, and our maximum liability in the event AMTC exercises its “step-in” right and the other joint venture partners default under the guarantee was approximately $102 million. These estimates are based upon forecasted rents to be charged in the future and are subject to change based upon the actual usage of the facility by the tenants and foreign currency exchange rates.

In December 2002, AMTC obtained a $176 million revolving credit facility to finance its operations. In December 2007, AMTC entered into a new $141 million revolving credit facility, of which $96 million was outstanding as of December 29, 2007. The proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the existing $176 million revolving credit facility and to provide additional financing for the acquisition of new tools. Subject to certain conditions under the revolving credit facility, AMTC may request that the loan amount be increased by an additional $59 million. The term of the revolving credit facility is three years. Upon request by AMTC and subject to certain conditions, the term of the revolving credit facility may be extended by two additional one year periods. Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, each joint venture partner guaranteed one third of AMTC’s outstanding loan balance under the revolving credit facility. As of December 29, 2007, our liability under this guarantee was $32 million plus our portion of accrued interest and expenses. Under the terms of the guarantee, if our group consolidated cash (which is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities less the aggregate amount outstanding under any revolving credit facility) is less than or expected to be less than $500 million, we will be required to provide cash collateral equal to one third of the balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We evaluated our guarantee under the provisions of FIN 45 and concluded it was immaterial to our financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies the fair value definition, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that the fair value is the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and a fair value measurement should therefore be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition, including the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of such measurements on earnings for the period. In its February 6, 2008 meeting, the FASB decided to (i) partially defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and (ii) remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157. The partial deferral is applicable to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. Companies will still need to apply SFAS 157’s recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. The FASB also decided to amend SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS 157. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of our fiscal year 2008 on December 30, 2007. There has been no material impact to our financial statements due to the adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). This statement allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities as well as certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments (collectively, eligible items) at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, the statement specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Upon initial adoption, this statement provides entities with a one-time chance to elect the fair value option for the eligible items. The effect of the first measurement to fair value should be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year the statement is adopted. We adopted SFAS 159 at the beginning of our fiscal year 2008 on December 30, 2007 and did not make any elections for fair value accounting. Therefore, we did not record a cumulative-effect adjustment to our opening retained earnings balance.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This statement retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the acquisition method of accounting, or purchase method, be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141R requires, among other things, expensing of acquisition-related and restructuring-related costs, measurement of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and capitalization of in-process research and development, all of which represent modifications to current accounting for business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of SFAS 141R will not impact our accounting for business combinations closed prior to its adoption, but given the nature of the changes noted above, we expect our accounting for business combinations occurring subsequent to adoption will be significantly different than that applied following current accounting literature.

interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. This Statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 as required. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 was reported as a reduction of the beginning balance of retained earnings of six million and a decrease to goodwill of three million.

As of the date of adoption, our total gross unrecognized tax benefits were $149 million, of which $28 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The recognition of the remaining unrecognized tax benefits would be reported as an adjustment to goodwill to the extent of pre-acquisition unrecognized tax benefits or would be offset by a change in valuation allowance.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. We accrued interest and penalties of $21 million and $38 million, respectively, as of the date of adoption of FIN 48.

As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, tax years 1994 – 2006 remain subject to examination in the U.S., 1999 – 2006 in Canada and 1999 – 2006 in various foreign jurisdictions.

Recent Developments

Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2008, we decided to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units and classified them as discontinued operations in our financial statements. Accordingly, we segregated the assets and liabilities related to these discontinued operations from those assets and liabilities related to continuing operations on our consolidated balance sheets and we segregated the operating results of discontinued operations from those of continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

The results from discontinued operations, net of tax, are as follows:


	Year Ended
	December 29, 2007			December 31, 2006
	(In millions)
Revenue	$	319		$	97
Expenses		(499	)		(156	)
Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets		(1,003	)		—

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(1,183	)	$	(59	)

The carrying value of the assets of discontinued operations was $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Included in these balances is goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the amounts of $1.2 billion and $2.4 billion as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The carrying value of the liabilities for discontinued operations was $26 million and $32 million as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Cash flows from discontinued operations are not material to total cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in any period presented and are combined with cash flows from continuing operations within the consolidated statement of cash flows categories.

As a result of our decision to divest our Handheld and Digital Television business units, we performed an interim impairment test of goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the second quarter of 2008 and concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill and certain finite-lived intangible assets associated with our Handheld and Digital Television business units were impaired and recorded an impairment charge. For goodwill, the impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill assigned to our reporting units with the implied fair value of the goodwill. We considered the income approach in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows of each of the reporting units discounted using estimated discount rates taking into consideration the estimated proceeds that we expect to receive in connection with any potential divestiture. For acquired intangible assets, we assessed the recoverability of the unamortized balances by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying values. For those acquired intangible assets where the carrying values exceeded the undiscounted future net cash flows, we measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceeded the estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows. The remaining carrying values of goodwill related to these business units were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations. Based on the results of the impairment test, we recorded an impairment charge of $876 million in the second quarter of 2008.

During the third quarter of 2008, we entered into an agreement with Broadcom Corporation and Broadcom International Limited (collectively, Broadcom) to sell certain assets related to the Digital Television business unit for $192.8 million. The asset purchase agreement was subsequently amended to reduce the purchase price to $141.5 million and the transaction was completed on October 27, 2008. Based on the final terms of the sale transaction, we wrote down goodwill $135 million in the third quarter of 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that based on the continuing negotiations related to the divestiture of our Handheld business unit, the discontinued operations classification criteria for this business unit were no longer met. As a result, we intend to reclassify the operating results of this business unit back to continuing operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008.

Spansion Investment

During fiscal 2008, after considering Spansion’s operating results and stock price trends, we recorded further impairment charges of $24 million and $9 million in its second and third fiscal quarters. We expect to record an additional impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Restructuring

In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan (Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring), which included a reduction-in-force (RIF) and certain contract termination costs related to technologies we were no longer pursuing and recorded a total charge of $32 million. The RIF component, which is comprised primarily of severance and costs related to the continuance of certain employee benefits, totaled approximately $23 million. Other exit-related costs, including $6 million of non-cash charges, totaled approximately $9 million.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded additional severance and related costs of approximately $9 million in connection with the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, in order to achieve our goal of attaining a lower operating results breakeven point, we implemented a restructuring plan to reduce our cost structure and we expect to incur additional restructuring charges in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 as a result of this plan.

Repurchase of Auction Rate Securities

In October 2008, Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) offered to repurchase $82 million at par value our auction rate securities (ARS) that were purchased from UBS prior to February 13, 2008. We accepted this offer. From June 30, 2010 and ending July 2, 2012, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell, at par, these ARS to UBS. Prior to June 30, 2010, we will continue to earn and receive all interest that is payable for these ARS. Furthermore, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on our behalf so long as we receive par value for the ARS sold. UBS has also agreed to use its best efforts to facilitate issuer redemptions and/or to resolve the liquidity concerns of holders of their ARS through restructurings and other means.

Proposed Manufacturing Joint Venture

Pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement dated October 6, 2008, as amended on December 5, 2008, entered into by us, Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (ATIC) and West Coast Hitech L.P., acting through its general partner, West Coast Hitech G.P., Ltd (WCH) (as amended, the Master Transaction Agreement), AMD and ATIC will form a manufacturing joint venture, The Foundry Company. We will contribute certain manufacturing-related assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares, and ATIC will contribute cash to The Foundry Company and pay cash to us in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, Class A Convertible Notes and Class B Convertible Notes (collectively, the Convertible Notes). The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products and will provide certain foundry services to us, and in the future, expects to offer foundry services to other third-party customers.

The Master Transaction Agreement contemplates that AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the Shareholders’ Agreement), which sets forth the rights and obligations of AMD and ATIC as shareholders of The Foundry Company. In addition, a Funding Agreement among AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will provide for further equity funding of The Foundry Company by ATIC of a minimum of $3.6 billion and up to $6.0 billion over the five years after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement (the Closing), and a Wafer Supply Agreement between AMD and The Foundry Company will govern the terms by which we will purchase products manufactured by The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products using intellectual property transferred by us to The Foundry Company and certain intellectual property licensed to us. Immediately following the Closing, we and ATIC will be the only stockholders of The Foundry Company, each of which will have equal voting rights, and The Foundry Company will be owned 34.2 percent by us and 65.8 percent by ATIC on a fully converted to common share basis. Because when formed The Foundry Company will be a variable interest entity and we will be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the operations of The Foundry Company, we expect, during the first few years following formation, to consolidate The Foundry Company’s financial position and operating results for financial reporting purposes pursuant to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51.

In addition, pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, WCH will purchase (i) 58,000,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 35,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the Warrants) for an aggregate purchase price equal to 58,000,000 multiplied by the lower of (A) the average closing prices per share of the our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 or (B) the average closing prices per share of the our common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Closing. The Warrants are exercisable after the earlier of (a) public ground-breaking of Fab 4X in New York and (b) 24 months from the date of issuance.

Goodwill Impairment

In the fourth quarter of 2008, pursuant to our accounting policy, we conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill. As a result of this analysis, which was updated during the quarter in light of the current market conditions and economic outlook and due to the continuing deterioration in the price of our common stock and the resulting reduced market capitalization, we concluded that the current carrying value of the goodwill related to our Graphics segment and chipset business was impaired.

We expect that the resulting impairment charge to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 will be material, but, as of the time of this filing, we are unable to estimate the amount or range of amounts of the impairment charge. We will disclose such an estimate or range of estimates in a filing with the SEC promptly and in any event within four business days of determining such an estimate or range of estimates. In addition, we will also perform an analysis to identify whether there is also potential impairment of any of the remaining identifiable intangible assets acquired in the ATI acquisition. As of the time of this filing, we are unable to make a determination of an estimate of the amount or range of amounts of the impairment charge or whether it will be material. In the event the charge is material, we will disclose the amount in a filing with the SEC. We will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of these impairments. These known and potentially additional goodwill and/or intangible asset impairment charges will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 27, 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 29, 2007, December 31, 2006 and December 25, 2005

NOTE 1: Nature of Operations

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the Company or AMD) is a global semiconductor company with manufacturing, research and development, and sales and administrative facilities throughout the world. References herein to the “Company” mean AMD and its consolidated subsidiaries, including prior to December 21, 2005, Spansion Inc. (Spansion, formerly, Spansion LLC) and its subsidiaries. The Company provides processing solutions for the computing, graphics and consumer electronics markets. Prior to the initial public offering (IPO) of Spansion Inc. on December 21, 2005, the Company also manufactured and sold Flash memory devices through its formerly majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary, Spansion LLC. On October 25, 2006 the Company completed the acquisition of ATI Technologies Inc. (ATI) (see Note 3). As a result of the acquisition, AMD began to supply 3D graphic, video and multimedia products and chipsets for personal computers, or PCs, including desktop and notebook PCs, professional workstations, and servers and products for consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital televisions and game consoles.

As a result of the Company’s evaluation of the viability of its non-core businesses in the second quarter of 2008, the Company determined that its Handheld and Digital Television businesses are not directly aligned with its core strategy of computing and graphics market opportunities. Therefore, the Company decided to divest these business units, which were previously part of the Consumer Electronics segment, and to classify them as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (SFAS 144). Cash used in operating, investing or financing activities for discontinued operations is not material and has been combined with cash flows from continuing operations within consolidated statements of cash flows categories.

The assets and liabilities of these businesses are reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The historical results of operations of these businesses have been segregated from the Company’s continuing operations and are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006. (see Note 18)

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52- to -53 week fiscal year. Prior to December 31, 2006, the Company’s fiscal year ended on the last Sunday in December. Commencing in 2007, the Company began using a 52- to -53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 ended December 29, December 31 and December 25, respectively. Fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 consisted of 52 weeks, 53 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, including the operations of ATI from October 25, 2006. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, and amounts pertaining to the noncontrolling ownership interests held by third parties in the operating results and financial position of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries are reported as minority interest.

Due to the IPO of Spansion on December 21, 2005, the Company used the equity method of accounting to reflect its share of Spansion’s net losses from December 21, 2005 through September 19, 2007. Because the Company’s share ownership in Spansion has decreased, coupled with other factors that removed the Company’s ability to significantly influence the strategic operating, investing and financing decisions of Spansion, the Company changed its accounting for this investment from the equity method of accounting to accounting for the investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). Effective September 20, 2007, the Company reclassified its remaining investment in Spansion to marketable securities.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, revenue reserves, inventory valuation, goodwill and the valuation of acquisition related intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and acquisition related intangible assets, and deferred income taxes.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year’s presentation of financial information (see Note 11).

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from products sold directly to customers, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and collectibility is reasonably assured. Estimates of product returns, allowances and future price reductions, based on actual historical experience and other known or anticipated trends and factors, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. The Company sells to distributors under terms allowing the distributors certain rights of return and price protection on unsold merchandise held by them. The distributor agreements, which may be cancelled by either party upon specified notice, generally contain a provision for the return of those of the Company’s products that the Company has removed from its price book or that are not more than twelve months older than the manufacturing code date. In addition, some agreements with distributors may contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. Accordingly, the Company defers the gross margin resulting from the deferral of both revenue and related product costs from sales to distributors with agreements that have the aforementioned terms until the merchandise is resold by the distributors.

The Company also sells its products to distributors with substantial independent operations under sales arrangements whose terms do not allow for rights of return or price protection on unsold products held by them. In these instances, the Company recognizes revenue when it ships the product directly to the distributors.

The Company records estimated reductions to revenue under distributor and customer incentive programs, including certain cooperative advertising and marketing promotions and volume based incentives and special pricing arrangements, at the time the related revenues are recognized. For transactions where the Company reimburses a customer for a portion of the customer’s cost to perform specific product advertising or marketing and promotional activities, such amounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue unless they qualify for cost recognition under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products) (EITF 01-9). Shipping and handling costs associated with product sales are included in cost of sales.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at standard cost adjusted to approximate the lower of actual cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). Generally, inventories on hand in excess of forecasted demand for the next six months are not valued. Obsolete inventories are written off.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. All of the Company’s goodwill at December 29, 2007 is related to the Company’s acquisition of ATI (see Note 3). In accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company evaluates whether goodwill has been impaired at the reporting unit level by first determining whether the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value and, if so, by determining whether the implied fair value of goodwill within the reporting unit is less than the carrying value. Fair values are determined by discounted future cash flow analyses.

As a result of the Company’s impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to the goodwill initially recognized as a result of the acquisition of ATI (see Note 3).

In 2005, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to goodwill initially recognized as a result of the formation of Spansion LLC (see Note 4).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets including Acquisition Related Intangible Assets. For long-lived assets other than goodwill, the Company evaluates whether impairment losses have occurred when events and circumstances indicate that these assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If less, the impairment losses are based on the excess of the carrying amounts of these assets over their respective fair values. Their fair values would then become the new cost basis. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods. For assets held for sale, impairment losses are measured at the lower of the carrying amount of the assets or the fair value of the assets less costs to sell. For assets to be disposed of other than by sale, impairment losses are measured as their carrying amount less salvage value, if any, at the time the assets cease to be used. As a result of the Company’s impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to certain acquisition-related intangible assets initially recognized as a result of the acquisition of ATI (see Note 3).

Included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets are balances related to certain technology licenses. The balances related to these licenses, net of amortization, were $297 million and $204 million at December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Estimated future amortization expense related to these licenses is as follows:

Total	$	297

Commitments and Contingencies. From time to time the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company is also a party to environmental matters, including local, regional, state and federal government clean-up activities at or near locations where the Company currently or has in the past conducted business. The Company is also a guarantor of various third-party obligations and commitments. The Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, that would be charged to earnings, includes assessing the probability of adverse outcomes and estimating the amount of potential losses. The required reserves, if any, may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in circumstances, such as a change in settlement strategy. Changes in required reserves could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period the changes are made (see Notes 14 and 17).

Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Marketable Securities. The Company classifies its marketable debt and equity securities at the date of acquisition as either held to maturity or available-for-sale. Substantially all of the Company’s investments in marketable debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, a component of stockholders equity. Fair values for marketable securities are based on market trading quotes. Realized gains and losses and declines in the value of securities determined to be other-than-temporary are included in other income (expense), net. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The Company classifies investments with remaining time to maturity of more than three months as marketable securities. Marketable securities generally consist of money market auction rate preferred stocks and debt securities

such as commercial paper, corporate notes, separately-held corporate stocks, certificates of deposit and marketable direct obligations of United States governmental agencies. Available-for-sale debt securities with remaining time to maturity greater than twelve months are classified as current when they represent investments of cash that are intended to be used in current operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company is primarily subject to foreign currency risks for transactions denominated in euros and Canadian dollars. Therefore, in the normal course of business, the Company’s financial position is routinely subjected to market risk associated with foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company’s general practice is to ensure that material business exposure to foreign exchange risks are identified, measured and minimized using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate or reduce such exposures. To protect against the fluctuation in value of forecasted euro and Canadian dollar denominated cash flows resulting from these transactions, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. Under this program, the Company purchases foreign currency forward contracts and sells or purchases foreign currency option contracts, generally expiring within twelve months, to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows. These foreign currency contracts are carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value, and are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities, with the effective portion of the contracts’ gain or loss initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in the consolidated statements of operations line item corresponding to the hedged forecasted transaction in the same period the transaction affects operations. Generally, the gain or loss on derivative contracts, when recognized, offsets the gain or loss on the hedged transactions. As of December 29, 2007, the Company expects to reclassify the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income to operations within the next twelve months upon the recognition in operations of the hedged forecasted transactions. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

The effectiveness test for these foreign currency contracts utilized by the Company is the change in fair value method. Under this method, the Company includes the time value portion of the change in value of the currency forward contract in its effectiveness assessment. Any ineffective portion of the hedges is recognized currently in other income (expense), net, which has not been significant to date.

If a cash flow hedge should be discontinued because it is probable that the original forecasted transaction will not occur, the net unrealized gain or loss will be recorded as a component of other income (expense), net.

Premiums paid for foreign currency forward and option contracts are immediately charged to earnings.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as follows: equipment, two to six years; buildings and building improvements, up to 26 years; and leasehold improvements, measured by the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases or the estimated economic useful lives of the improvements.

Treasury Stock. The Company accounts for treasury stock acquisitions using the cost method. For reissuance of treasury stock, to the extent that the reissuance price is more than the cost, the excess is recorded as an increase to capital in excess of par value. If the reissuance price is less than the cost, the difference is recorded in capital in excess of par value to the extent there is a cumulative treasury stock paid in capital balance. Once the cumulative balance is reduced to zero, any remaining difference resulting from the sale of treasury stock below cost is recorded in retained earnings.

Product Warranties. The Company generally warrants that microprocessor products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to its approved specifications. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company generally offers a three-year limited warranty to end users for microprocessor products commonly referred to as “processors in a box,” a one-year limited warranty to direct purchasers of all other microprocessor products commonly referred to as “tray” microprocessor products, and a one-year limited warranty to direct purchasers of embedded processor products. The Company has offered extended limited warranties to certain customers of “tray” microprocessor products who have written agreements with the Company and target their computer systems at the commercial and/or embedded markets.

The Company generally warrants that its graphics, chipsets and certain products for consumer electronics devices will conform to its approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year beginning on shipment of such products to its customers. The Company generally warrants that ATI-branded PC workstation products will conform to its approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years, beginning on shipment of such products to its customers.

The Company accrues warranty costs at the time of sale of warranted products.

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions. For the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the functional currency of all the Company’s foreign subsidiaries was the U.S. dollar. For 2005, the functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries was the U.S. dollar, except for AMD Saxony Limited Liability Company & Co. KG (AMD Saxony) and AMD Fab 36 Limited Liability Company & Co. KG (AMD Fab 36 KG) whose functional currencies were the euro. Beginning in 2006, following an evaluation of the scope of their operations and business practices, the Company concluded that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate, and changed the functional currency of AMD Saxony and AMD Fab 36 KG to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, Spansion Japan, a consolidated subsidiary of AMD until December 20, 2005, used the Japanese yen as its functional currency.

For subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars have been remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities and historical exchange rates for non-monetary assets and liabilities. Net revenue, cost of sales and expenses have been remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during each period, except for those net revenue, cost of sales and expenses related to the previously noted non-monetary balance sheet amounts, which have been remeasured at historical exchange rates. The gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement have been included in earnings.

In 2005, adjustments resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements of AMD Saxony, AMD Fab 36, KG, and Spansion Japan into the U.S. dollar have been included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Upon the change of the functional currency for AMD Saxony and AMD Fab 36 KG, these subsidiaries no longer generate translation adjustments. Translation adjustments from prior periods will continue to remain a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company continued to include its proportionate share of the translation adjustments relating to Spansion Japan in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until September 20, 2007, when the Company changed its method of accounting for Spansion from the equity method to treating this investment as an available-for-sale security (see Note 4).

The gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in currency other than the functional currencies have been recorded in earnings. The aggregate exchange gain (loss) included in earnings was $25 million in 2007, ($22) million in 2006, and ($8) million in 2005.

Guarantees. The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). Under FIN 45, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee is recognized. However, this is limited to those guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The recognition of fair value is not required for certain guarantees such as the parent’s guarantee of a subsidiary’s debt to a third party or guarantees on product warranties. For those guarantees excluded from FIN 45’s fair value recognition provision, financial statement disclosures of their terms are made (see Note 14).

Foreign Grants and Subsidies. The Company receives or has received investment grants and allowances from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony in connection with Fab 30 and Fab 36 in Dresden, Germany. Generally, such grants and subsidies are subject to forfeiture in declining amounts over the life of the agreement, if the Company does not maintain certain levels of employment or meet other conditions specified in the relevant subsidy grant documents. Accordingly, amounts received are initially recorded as a long-term liability on the Company’s financial statements, and then are amortized as a reduction to cost of sales. Fab 30 related subsidies have been amortized to operations ratably through December 2007. Fab 36 related investment allowances are being amortized to operations ratably over the lives of the underlying assets associated with the investment allowances. Fab 36 related grants are being amortized to operations ratably through December 2013.

From time to time, the Company also applies for subsidies relating to certain research and development projects. These research and development subsidies are recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses when all conditions and requirements set forth in the subsidy grant are met.

Advertising Expenses. Advertising expenses for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $555 million, $515 million and $333 million, respectively. Cooperative advertising funding obligations under customer incentive programs are accrued and the costs recorded at the same time the related revenue is recognized. Cooperative advertising expenses are recorded as marketing, general and administrative expense to the extent the cash paid does not exceed the fair value of the advertising benefit received. Any excess of cash paid over the fair value of the advertising benefit received is recorded as a reduction of revenue in accordance with EITF 01-9.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any dilutive potential common shares. Potential common shares include stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt. The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share for the years ended:

The Company incurred a net loss for 2007. Potential common shares of approximately 54 million for 2007, which included both shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding employee stock options and the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible securities, were not included in the net loss per common share calculation, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Potential common shares of approximately 55 million and 21 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 25, 2005, which were associated with the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible securities, were not included in the net income per common share calculation, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities, deferred gains and losses on derivative financial instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, changes in minimum pension liabilities, and foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Stock-Based Compensation. On December 26, 2005, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, based on estimated fair values. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company has not restated its consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for 2006 includes stock-based compensation expense for all of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, December 26, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), as well as stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after December 26, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (Opinion 25).

Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense from the multiple-option (i.e., accelerated) approach to the single option (i.e., straight-line) method. Compensation expense for share-based awards granted prior to December 26, 2005 will continue to be subject to the accelerated multiple option method specified in FASB Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans (FIN 28), while compensation expense for stock-based awards granted on or after December 26, 2005 will be recognized using a straight-line, single option method.

Also, upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company changed its method of valuation for stock option awards from the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model, which was previously used for the Company’s pro forma information disclosures of stock-based compensation expense as required under SFAS 123, to a lattice-binomial option-pricing model.

SFAS 123R requires that the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits related to stock compensation be classified as cash flows from financing activities.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. (see Note 12 for a further discussion on stock-based compensation).

The Company’s determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock

price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s employee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value, in management’s opinion, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with SFAS 123R and SAB 107 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.

SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates in order to derive the Company’s best estimate of awards ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimated forfeitures based on its historical experience. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the Company’s loss from operations, loss before taxes and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $40 million higher than it would have been if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25. Basic and diluted loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $0.08 higher than it would have been if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25.

Restructuring Charges. The Company accounted for its 2002 restructuring charge in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3) for exit and disposal activities as they were initiated prior to December 30, 2002. Under EITF 94-3 restructuring charges are recorded upon approval of a formal management plan and are included in the operating results of the period in which such plans have been approved. The Company reviews remaining restructuring accruals on a quarterly basis and adjusts these accruals when changes in facts and circumstances suggest actual amounts will differ from the initial estimates. Changes in estimates occur when it is apparent that exit and other costs accrued will be more or less than originally estimated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies the fair value definition, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that the fair value is the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and a fair value measurement should therefore be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition, including the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of such measurements on earnings for the period. In its February 6, 2008 meeting, the FASB decided to (i) partially defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and (ii) remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157. The partial deferral is applicable to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. Companies will still need to apply SFAS 157’s recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. The FASB also decided to amend SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS 157. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of its fiscal year 2008 on December 30, 2007. There has been no material impact to the Company’s financial statements due to the adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). This statement allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities as well as certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments (collectively, eligible items) at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, the statement specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Upon initial adoption, this statement provides entities with a one-time chance to elect the fair value option for the eligible items. The effect of the first measurement to fair value should be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year the statement is adopted. The Company adopted SFAS 159 at the beginning of our fiscal year 2008 on December 30, 2007 and did not make any elections for fair value accounting; therefore, the Company did not record a cumulative-effect adjustment to its opening retained earnings balance.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This statement retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the acquisition method of accounting, or purchase method, be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141R requires, among other things, expensing of acquisition-related and restructuring-related costs, measurement of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and capitalization of in-process research and development, all of which represent modifications to current accounting for business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. Adoptions of SFAS 141R will not impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations closed prior to its adoption, but given the nature of the changes noted above, the Company expects that its accounting for business combinations occurring subsequent to adoption will be significantly different than that applied following current accounting literature.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. This Statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 3: ATI Acquisition

On October 25, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of ATI, a publicly held company headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Canada (the Acquisition) for a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. ATI was engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of innovative 3D graphics and digital media silicon solutions. The Company believes that the acquisition of ATI allows it to deliver products that better fulfill the increasing demand for more integrated computing solutions. The Company included the operations of ATI in its consolidated financial statements beginning on October 25, 2006.

The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for all outstanding ATI common shares consisted of approximately $4.3 billion of cash and 58 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company also issued options to purchase approximately 17.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 2.2 million comparable AMD restricted stock units in exchange for outstanding ATI stock options and restricted stock units. The vested portion of these options and restricted stock units was valued at approximately $144 million. The unvested portion, valued at approximately $69 million, is being amortized to compensation expense over the options’ remaining vesting periods. To finance a portion of the cash consideration paid, the

Company borrowed $2.5 billion under the October 2006 Term Loan. This term loan was fully repaid in 2007 (see Note 9). The total purchase price for ATI was $5.6 billion including acquisition-related costs of $25 million and consisted of:


	(In millions, except share amounts)
Acquisition of all of the outstanding shares, stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards of ATI in exchange for:

Total purchase price	$	5,604

Purchase Price Allocation

The total purchase price was allocated to ATI’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of October 24, 2006 as set forth below:


	(In millions)
Cash and marketable securities	$	500
Accounts receivable		290

Accounts payable and other liabilities		(631	)
Reserves for exit costs		(8	)
Debt and capital lease obligations		(31	)
Deferred revenues		(2	)

Total purchase price	$	5,604

The only item that may significantly impact goodwill is the resolution of certain ATI tax-related contingencies. To the extent that the actual amounts are different than the estimated amounts initially recorded, the difference will result in adjustments to goodwill. Any other adjustments to amounts recorded from and after the completion of the acquisition will be recorded in post-acquisition operating results.

In-Process Research and Development

included development of next generation products for the Graphics and Chipsets segment and the former Consumer Electronics segment. The estimated fair value of the projects for the Graphics and Chipsets segment was approximately $193 million ($122 million for graphics products and $71 million for chipset products). The estimated fair value of the projects for the former Consumer Electronics segment was approximately $223 million. Starting in the first quarter of 2007, in conjunction with the integration of ATI’s operations, the Company reported operations related to its chipset products in its Computing Solutions segment.

The discount rates applied to individual projects were selected after consideration of the overall estimated weighted average cost of capital for ATI and the discount rates applied to the valuation of the other assets acquired. Such weighted average cost of capital was adjusted to reflect the difficulties and uncertainties in completing each project and thereby achieving technological feasibility, the percentage of completion of each project, anticipated market acceptance and penetration, market growth rates and risks related to the impact of potential changes in future target markets. In developing the estimated fair values, the Company used discount rates ranging from 14 percent to 15 percent.

Other Acquisition Related Intangible Assets

Developed product technology consists of products that have reached technological feasibility and included technology in ATI’s discrete GPU products, integrated chipset products, handheld products, and digital television products divisions. The Company initially expected the developed technology to have an average useful life of five years. However, as discussed below, the Company has revised the estimate of the average useful life of the developed technology to be 50 months from the acquisition date.

Customer relationship intangibles represent ATI’s customer relationships existing as of October 24, 2006 and were estimated to have an average useful life of four years.

Trademarks and trade names have an estimated average useful life of seven years.

Customer backlog represents customer orders existing as of October 24, 2006 that had not been delivered and were estimated to have a useful life of 14 months.

The Company determined the fair value of other acquisition-related intangible assets using income approaches based on the most current financial forecast available as of October 24, 2006. The discount rates the Company used to discount net cash flows to their present values ranged from 12 percent to 15 percent. The Company determined these discount rates after consideration of the Company’s estimated weighted average cost of capital and the estimated internal rate of return specific to the acquisition.

The Company based estimated useful lives for the other acquisition-related intangible assets on historical experience with technology life cycles, product roadmaps and the Company’s intended future use of the intangible assets. The Company is amortizing the acquisition-related intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Integration

Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company implemented an integration plan which included the termination of some ATI employees, the relocation or transfer to other sites of other ATI employees and the closure of duplicate facilities. The costs associated with employee severance and relocation totaled approximately $7 million. The costs associated with the closure of duplicate facilities totaled approximately $1 million. These costs were included as a component of net assets acquired. Additionally, the integration plan also included termination of some AMD employees, cancellation of some existing contractual obligations, and other costs to integrate the operations of the two companies. The Company incurred costs of approximately $28 million and $32 million for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and they are included in the caption, “Amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration charges,” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations information gives effect to the ATI acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of each of the fiscal years presented. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition and the $2.5 billion October 2006 Term Loan had taken place at the beginning of each of the periods presented nor is it indicative of future financial performance. The pro forma financial information for each of the periods presented includes the nonrecurring business combination accounting effect on ATI inventories acquired, write off of in-process research and development and integration charges as well as the recurring effect from amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation charges for unvested stock awards assumed and increase in interest expense associated with the October 2006 Term Loan.

The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 combined the historical results of AMD for the year ended December 31, 2006, which includes post-acquisition ATI results for the period from October 25, 2006 to December 31, 2006, and the historical results of pre-acquisition ATI for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 24, 2006. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 25, 2005 combines the historical results of AMD for the year ended December 25, 2005 and, due to differences in our reporting periods, the historical results of ATI, for the twelve months ended November 30, 2005.

Balance at December 29, 2007	$	162		$	788		$	—		$	950

⁽¹⁾

Starting in the first quarter of 2007, the Company began to include revenue from the sale of ATI’s chipsets, which was included in the Graphics and Chipset segment in the fourth quarter of 2006, in the Computing Solutions segment. As a result of this change, the Company reclassified $166 million of goodwill associated with the ATI chipset products from the Graphics segment to the Computing Solutions segment. In the second quarter of 2008 the Company began to include royalties received in connection with the sale of game console systems that incorporate the Company’s technology within the operating results of the Graphics segment. As a result, the $254 million goodwill associated with the game console business is now included in the Graphics segment.

⁽²⁾

Adjustments to goodwill primarily represent changes in acquired pre-acquisition income tax liabilities assumed (which will continue to be applied to goodwill until ultimately settled with the tax authorities), including the cumulative accounting impact upon adoption of FIN 48 on pre-acquisition ATI tax contingencies.

⁽³⁾

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company evaluated the viability of its non-core businesses and determined that the Handheld and Digital Television businesses were not directly aligned with its core strategy of computing and graphics market opportunities. Therefore, the Company decided to divest these businesses and classify them as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. The carrying values of goodwill and acquired intangible assets related to these businesses were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, pursuant to its accounting policy, the Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill assigned to its Graphics and former Consumer Electronics segments exceeded their implied fair values and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.3 billion, of which $504 million related to the Graphics segment is included in the caption “Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets” and $755 million related to the Digital Television and Handheld businesses is included in the caption “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in its 2007 consolidated statement of operations. The impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the Company’s reporting units within these segments as of October 1, 2007, with the implied fair value of the goodwill. The Company considered both the income and market approaches in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows of each of the reporting units discounted using estimated discount rates ranging from 13.1 percent to 15.3 percent. The estimates of future operating results and cash flows were principally derived from an updated long-term financial forecast, which is developed as part of the Company’s strategic planning cycle conducted annually during the latter part of the third quarter. The decline in the implied fair value of the goodwill and resulting impairment charge was primarily driven by the updated long-term financial forecasts, which showed lower estimated near-term and longer-term profitability compared to estimates developed at the time of the completion of the acquisition. This updated long-term financial forecast represents the best estimate that the Company’s management has at this time and the Company believes that its underlying assumptions are reasonable. However, actual performance in the near-term and longer-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates of fair value of the Company’s reporting units and may result in further impairment of goodwill.

The Company’s cost basis in goodwill deductible for tax was $2.6 billion. The Company’s adjusted tax basis after tax deductions in 2006 and 2007 is $2.3 billion.

The outcome of the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis indicated that the carrying amount of certain acquisition related intangible assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. The Company assessed the recoverability of the acquisition related intangible assets or asset groups, as appropriate, by determining whether the unamortized balances could be recovered through undiscounted future net cash flows. The Company determined that certain of the acquisition related developed product technology associated with its Graphics and former Consumer Electronics segments was impaired primarily due to the revised lower revenue forecasts associated with the products incorporating such developed product technology. The Company measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded their estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows. As a result of this impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $349 million, of which $101 million related to the Graphics segment is included in the caption “Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets” and $248 million related to the Digital Television and Handheld businesses is included in the caption “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in its 2007 consolidated statement of operations. The Company also revised its estimate of the weighted average useful life of the developed product technology from 60 months to 50 months based on the revised cash flow forecasts.

The balances of acquisition related intangible assets as of December 29, 2007, were as follows:

On December 21, 2005, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Spansion Inc., completed its IPO of 47,264,000 shares of its Class A common stock as well as offerings of senior notes to the Company and institutional investors with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $425 million. In addition, the Company cancelled $60 million of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under Spansion LLC’s promissory note issued to the Company on June 30, 2003 in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of Spansion’s Class A common stock. As a result, immediately after the IPO, the Company owned a total of 48,529,403 shares, or approximately 38 percent, of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from Spansion’s IPO.

Dilution in Ownership Interest

Prior to the IPO, the Company held a 60 percent controlling ownership interest in Spansion. Consequently, Spansion’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows through December 20, 2005 were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. Following the IPO, the Company’s ownership interest was diluted from 60 percent to approximately 38 percent, and the Company no longer exercised voting control, but did retain the ability to exercise significant influence over Spansion’s operations. Therefore, starting from December 21, 2005, the Company used the equity method of accounting to reflect its investment in Spansion. In connection with the Company’s reduction in its ownership interest in Spansion, the Company recorded a loss of $110 million in 2005 which represents the difference between Spansion’s book value per share before and after the IPO multiplied by the number of shares owned by the Company. In addition, in 2005 the Company also wrote off approximately $16 million of goodwill, which was originally recorded in June 30, 2003 as a result of the formation of Spansion LLC.

In November 2006, the Company sold 21,000,000 shares of its Spansion Class A common stock in an underwritten public offering (the Offering). The Company received $278 million in net proceeds from the Offering. The Company realized a gain of $6 million from the sale, which was included in the caption, “Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other,” on the Company’s 2006 consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the Offering, the Company owned a total of 27,529,403 shares, or approximately 21 percent, of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. The Company continued to use the equity method of accounting for its investment in Spansion.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company sold 984,799 shares of Spansion Class A common stock. The Company received $13 million in net proceeds from the sales and realized a gain of $0.6 million. In July 2007, the Company sold an additional 12,506,694 shares of Spansion Class A common stock. The Company received $144 million in net proceeds from these sales and realized a loss of $2 million. The net loss is included in the caption, “Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other,” on the Company’s 2007 consolidated statement of operations. The Company continued to use the equity method of accounting to account for its investment because, for accounting purposes, the Company was deemed to continue to have the ability to exercise significant influence over Spansion.

On September 20, 2007, Dr. Ruiz, the CEO of the Company, resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Spansion. The Company also transferred its one share of Class B common stock to Spansion and, accordingly, relinquished the right to appoint a director to Spansion’s Board of Directors. Therefore, the Company changed its accounting for this investment from the equity method to accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities under SFAS 115. From this point, Spansion was no longer considered to be a related party of the Company, and related party presentations in the 2005 and 2006 financial statements were reclassified to be comparable with the 2007 financial statements.

After giving consideration to Spansion’s operating results, its stock price changes in the preceding six months, and the Company’s intention to liquidate its investment, the Company concluded that this investment was other than temporarily impaired as of September 29, 2007 and again as of December 29, 2007. Therefore, the Company recorded other than temporary impairment charges of $111 million in 2007, reflecting the write-down of this investment to its fair value of $56 million. These impairment charges are included in the caption, “Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other,” on the Company’s 2007 consolidated statement of operations.

As of December 29, 2007, the Company owned a total of 14,037,910 shares, or approximately 10.4 percent, of Spansion’s outstanding common stock. The $56 million carrying value of this investment is included in the caption “Marketable Securities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet dated December 29, 2007. To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s investment in Spansion changes in the future due to fluctuations in Spansion’s common stock price, the Company would record either an unrealized loss or an unrealized gain within “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” a component of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s balance sheet. Should the Company sell shares of Spansion in the future, it would record either a realized loss or a realized gain. In addition, to the extent that the Company concludes that any unrealized loss is other-than-temporary, the Company would record further impairment charges through earnings.

Purchase of Spansion LLC 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2016

On December 21, 2005, Spansion LLC, a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Spansion, issued to the Company $175 million aggregate principal amount of its 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2016 (the Spansion Senior Notes) for $158.9 million or 90.828 percent of face value. In June 2006, Spansion LLC repurchased the Spansion Senior Notes for aggregate cash proceeds of $175 million. Upon repurchase, the Company recognized a gain of $16 million, of which $10 million was recorded as other income and $6 million (representing the elimination of approximately 38 percent of the gain), was included in the caption, “Equity in net loss of Spansion Inc., and other,” on the Company’s 2006 consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 5: Related-Party Transactions

The Company and Fujitsu Limited formed FASL LLC, later renamed Spansion LLC, effective June 30, 2003 by expanding an existing manufacturing joint venture called Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor Limited, or FASL, that was formed in 1993 in which the Company’s ownership interest was slightly less than 50 percent. Upon formation of Spansion LLC, the Company increased its ownership interest to 60 percent. From the date of formation through December 20, 2005, the Company held a 60 percent controlling equity interest in Spansion LLC and, therefore, consolidated the results of Spansion LLC’s operations. The Company accounted for the Spansion LLC transaction as a partial step acquisition and purchase business combination under the provisions of SFAS 141, and EITF Issue 01-2, Interpretations of APB Opinion No. 29. As disclosed in Note 4, in December 2005 the Company commenced applying the equity method to its investment in Spansion and since September 2007 it has been accounting for its investment in Spansion as a marketable equity security.

June 30, 2003 to December 20, 2005

As part of the formation of Spansion LLC, both the Company and Fujitsu contributed their respective investments in FASL. The Company and Fujitsu entered into various service contracts separately with Spansion LLC. The Company provided, among other things, certain information technology, facilities, logistics, legal, tax, finance, human resources, and environmental health and safety services to Spansion LLC. Under these contracts, Fujitsu provided, among other things, certain information technology, research and development, quality assurance, insurance, facilities, environmental, and human resources services primarily to Spansion LLC’s Japanese subsidiary, Spansion Japan. Fees earned by the Company and incurred by Spansion LLC or its subsidiaries for these services were eliminated in consolidation.

In addition, prior to the formation of Spansion LLC, FASL provided a defined benefit pension plan and a lump-sum retirement benefit plan to certain employees. These plans were administered by Fujitsu and covered employees formerly assigned from Fujitsu and employees hired directly by FASL, and after the formation of Spansion LLC, Spansion Japan, the owner of FASL’s assets. In September 2005, Spansion Japan adopted a new pension plan and changed the formula to a cash balance formula. Assets and obligations were transferred from the Fujitsu Group Employee Pension Fund to this new Spansion Japan pension plan. The Company’s share of the pension cost and the unfunded pension liability related to these Spansion employees was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the Spansion LLC transaction, Fujitsu became a related party of the Company for the period beginning June 30, 2003 through December 20, 2005, the date immediately preceding Spansion’s IPO (see Note 4). Net revenues on sales to, and purchases of goods and services from, Fujitsu in 2005 were $876 million and $196 million, respectively, and amounts due to Fujitsu as of December 25, 2005 were $77 million.

The Company’s transactions with Fujitsu were based on terms that are consistent with those of similar arms-length transactions executed with third parties.

Subsequent to December 20, 2005

On December 21, 2005, Spansion became an unconsolidated equity investee of the Company. There were no significant transactions between the Company and Spansion relating to service agreements during the five day period, December 21 to December 25, 2005. The following table represents the significant account balances receivable from or payable to Spansion at December 31, 2006 and December 25, 2005:


	As of December 31, 2006		As of December 25, 2005
	(In millions)
Investment in Spansion Senior Notes	$	—	$	159
Receivable from Spansion (short-term)		10		143
Receivable from Spansion (long-term)		5		3
Accounts payable to Spansion		2		233

In connection with Spansion’s IPO, the Company entered into various amended and restated service agreements, a non-compete agreement and a patent cross-license agreement with Spansion. Under the amended services agreements, the Company agreed to provide, among other things, information technology, facilities, logistics, tax, finance and human resources services to Spansion for a specified period. All significant service level agreement activities had concluded as of December 29, 2007. Under the amended patent cross-license agreement, Spansion pays royalties to the Company based on a percentage of Spansion’s net revenue.

In addition, the Company entered into an agency agreement with Spansion pursuant to which the Company agreed to ship products to and invoice Spansion’s customers in the Company’s name on behalf of Spansion until Spansion had the capability to do so on its own. Prior to shipping the product to Spansion’s customers, the Company purchased the applicable product from Spansion and paid Spansion the same amount that it invoiced Spansion’s customers. In performing these services, the Company acted as Spansion’s agent for the sale of Spansion’s Flash memory products, and the Company did not receive a commission or fees for these services. Under the agreement, Spansion assumed full responsibility for its products and these transactions, including establishing the pricing and determining product specifications. Spansion also assumed credit and inventory risk related to these product sales. In the second quarter of 2006, Spansion began to ship its products and invoice its customers directly. The Company no longer ships and invoices products on behalf of Spansion.

Pursuant to the agency agreement and in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, the Company recorded sales of Spansion’s Flash memory products sold by the Company on behalf of Spansion and the related cost of sales on a net basis on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result, the net impact to the Company’s net revenue and cost of sales was zero.

On December 21, 2005, Spansion LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Spansion issued to the Company the Spansion Senior Notes for $158.9 million or 90.828 percent of face value. In June 2006, Spansion LLC repurchased the Spansion Senior Notes for aggregate cash proceeds of $175 million. Upon repurchase, the Company recognized a gain of $16 million, of which $10 million was recorded as other income and $6 million (representing the elimination of approximately 38 percent of the gain) was recorded as a reduction to the equity in net income (loss) of Spansion.

Long-term investments:
Equity investments (included in other assets)	$	1	$	3	$	—	$	4

Grand total	$	1,410	$	3	$	—	$	1,413

Long-term equity investments consist of marketable equity securities that, while available for sale, are not intended to be used to fund current operations.

All contractual maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale marketable debt securities at December 29, 2007 are within one year except those for auction rate securities. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties. The Company classified auction rate securities as current marketable securities because they represent investments of cash intended to be used for current operations.

The Company realized net gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $1 million and $2 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the Company did not realize any gain or loss from sale of available-for-sale securities in 2005.

At December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, the Company had approximately $12 million and $13 million of investments classified as held to maturity, consisting of commercial paper and treasury notes used for long-term workers’ compensation and leasehold deposits, which are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these investments approximated their cost at December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s debt instruments are as follows:


	2007				2006
	Carrying amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
	(In millions)
Long-term debt (excluding capital leases)	$	5,035	$	4,079	$	3,637	$	3,651

The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value based on existing payment terms.

NOTE 7: Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and derivative financial instruments used in hedging activities.

The Company places its cash equivalents and marketable securities with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution. The Company invests in time deposits and certificates of deposit from banks having combined capital, surplus and undistributed profits of not less than $200 million. Investments in commercial paper and money market auction rate preferred stocks of industrial firms and financial institutions are rated A1, P1 or better. Investments in tax-exempt securities, including municipal notes and bonds, are rated AA, Aa or better, and investments in repurchase agreements must have securities of the type and quality listed above as collateral. Concurrently with Spansion’s IPO, the Company also invested approximately $159 million in cash to purchase $175 million principal aggregate amount of Spansion Senior Notes. The Spansion Senior Notes were not investment grade.

The Company believes that concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. Accounts receivable from the Company’s top three customers accounted for approximately 17 percent, 12 percent and 5 percent of the total consolidated accounts receivable balance as of December 29, 2007. However, the Company does not believe the receivable balance from these customers represents a significant credit risk based on past collection experience. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs in-depth credit evaluations of all new customers and requires letters of credit, bank or corporate guarantees or advance payments, if deemed necessary, but generally does not require collateral from its customers.

The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of a number of large international financial institutions. The Company does not believe that there is significant risk of

nonperformance by these counterparties because the Company monitors their credit ratings and limits the financial exposure and the amount of agreements entered into with any one financial institution. While the notional amounts of financial instruments are often used to express the volume of these transactions, the potential accounting loss on these transactions if all counterparties failed to perform is limited to the lower of the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparties, which amounted to approximately $38 million, at December 29, 2007.

Pre-tax loss from foreign operations was $451 million in 2007. Pre-tax loss from foreign operations was $313 million in 2006. Pre-tax loss from foreign operations was $202 million in 2005 after elimination of minority interest.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of tax carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the balances for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:

As of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, non-current deferred tax assets of approximately $27 million and $2 million, respectively, were included in the caption, “Other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of December 29, 2007, current deferred tax liabilities of approximately $8 million were included in the caption, “Accrued liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 29, 2007, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, are subject to a full valuation allowance. The realization of these assets is dependent on substantial future taxable income which, at December 29, 2007, in management’s estimate, is not more likely than not to be achieved. In 2007 the net valuation allowance increased by $1.2 billion primarily to provide valuation allowance for current year operating losses in the U.S. and Canada. In 2006, the net valuation allowance increased by $305 million primarily to provide valuation allowance for tax assets in Canada and for losses in the U.S. In 2005, the net valuation allowance increased by $48 million primarily as a result of continuing to provide valuation allowance for start-up losses at the Company’s new manufacturing operation in Germany.

Net deferred tax assets of approximately $255 million related to certain deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the ATI business combination in 2006. When recognized, the reversal of the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets will be accounted for as a credit to existing goodwill or other ATI acquisition-related intangible assets rather than as a reduction of the period’s income tax provision. If no goodwill or acquisition-related intangible assets remain, the credit would reduce the income tax provision in the period of the valuation allowance reversal.

As of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had $247 million and $227 million, respectively, of deferred tax assets subject to a valuation allowance that relate to excess stock option deductions, which are not presented in the deferred tax asset balances since they have not met the realization criteria of SFAS 123R.

The following is a summary of the various tax attribute carryforwards the Company had as of December 29, 2007. The amounts presented below include amounts related to excess stock option deductions, as discussed above.


Carryforward	Federal		State/ Provincial		Expiration
	(millions)
US-net operating loss carryovers	$	1,795	$	293	2008 to 2027
US-credit carryovers	$	380	$	148	2008 to 2027

Canada-R&D pools	$	622	$	326	No expiration
Barbados-net operating loss carryovers	$	276		N/A	2012 to 2016

Approximately $94 million of the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carry-forwards are subject to annual limitations as a result of the ATI acquisition and prior purchase transactions. Utilization of German losses is limited to 60 percent of taxable income in any one year.

The Company also had other aggregate foreign loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $21 million in other countries with various expiration dates.

The Company has made no provision for U.S. income taxes on approximately $437 million of cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries through December 29, 2007 because it is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest such earnings. If such earnings were distributed, the Company would incur additional income taxes of approximately $141 million (after an adjustment for foreign tax credits). These additional income taxes may not result in income tax expense or a cash payment to the Internal Revenue Service, but may result in the utilization of deferred tax assets that are currently subject to a valuation allowance.

The Company’s operations in Singapore, China and Malaysia currently operate under tax holidays, which will expire in whole or in part at various dates through 2014. Certain of the tax holidays may be extended if specific conditions are met. The net impact of these tax holidays was to decrease the Company’s net loss by approximately $16 million in fiscal year 2007 (less than $0.03 per share, diluted) decrease the Company’s net loss by approximately $5 million in fiscal year 2006, (less than $0.01 per share, diluted), and to increase net income by approximately $1 million in fiscal year 2005 (less than $0.01 per share, diluted).

On January 1, 2007, upon adoption of FIN 48, the cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 was reported as a reduction of the beginning balance of retained earnings of $6 million and a decrease to goodwill of $3 million.

A reconciliation of the gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:


	(millions)
Balance at January 1, 2007	$	149
Increases for tax positions taken in prior years		17
Decreases for tax positions taken in prior years		(14	)
Increases for tax positions taken in the current year		14
Decreases for tax positions taken in the current year		—
Decreases for settlements with taxing authorities		(14	)
Decreases for lapsing of the statute of limitations		(3	)

Balance at December 29, 2007	$	149

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate was $28 million and $19 million as of January 1, 2007 and December 29, 2007, respectively. The recognition of the remaining unrecognized tax benefits would be reported as an adjustment to goodwill to the extent of pre-acquisition unrecognized tax benefits or would be offset by a change in valuation allowance.

The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. As of the date of adoption, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $21 million and $38 million, respectively. As of December 29, 2007, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $9 million and $36 million, respectively.

The Company recorded net interest expense of $3 million in its income statement and a reduction of $15 million of interest was offset to goodwill in the current year. The Company recorded $2 million net penalty expense in its income statement and a reduction of $4 million of penalties was offset to goodwill in the current year. The reductions of interest and penalties that were offset to goodwill were related to the expiration of the statutes of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.

During the 12 months beginning December 30, 2007, the Company expects to reduce its unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $43 million primarily from the expiration of certain statutes of limitation and audit resolutions. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that other unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next 12 months. However, the Company notes that the resolution and/or closure on open audits is highly uncertain.

As of December 29, 2007, the Canadian Revenue Agency, or CRA, is auditing ATI for the years 2000—2004. The audit has been completed and is currently in the review process. As of December 29, 2007, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service is not auditing AMD; however, an IRS audit of AMD’s tax years 2004 and 2005 is scheduled to commence in March 2008. AMD and its subsidiaries have several foreign, foreign provincial, and U.S. state audits in process at any one point in time. The Company has provided for uncertain tax positions that require a FIN 48 liability.

As a result of the application of FIN 48, the Company has recognized $61 million of current and long-term deferred tax assets, previously under a valuation allowance with $61 million of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 29, 2007.

5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012

On August 14, 2007, the Company issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (the 5.75% Notes). The 5.75% Notes bear interest at 5.75% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning February 15, 2008 until the maturity date of August 15, 2012. The terms of the 5.75% Notes are governed by an Indenture (the 5.75% Indenture) dated as of August 14, 2007, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.

The 5.75% Notes will be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 5.75% Notes, into shares of the Company’s common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 49.6771 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 5.75% Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $20.13 per share. This initial conversion price represents a premium of 50% relative to the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on August 8, 2007 (the trading date preceding the date of pricing of the 5.75% Notes) of $13.42 per share. This initial conversion rate will be adjusted for certain anti-dilution events. In addition, the conversion rate will be increased in the case of corporate events that constitute a fundamental change (as defined in the 5.75% Indenture) of the Company under certain circumstances. Holders of the 5.75% Notes may require the Company to repurchase the notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 5.75% Indenture) or a termination of trading (as defined in the Indenture). Additionally, an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 5.75% Notes.

The 5.75% Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future subordinated debt. The 5.75% Notes rank junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the 5.75% Notes, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the 5.75% Registration Rights Agreement), dated August 14, 2007, between the Company and Lehman Brothers Inc. (the initial purchaser), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the resale by holders of the 5.75% Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, use the Company’s reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective and keep the registration statement effective for the period described in the 5.75% Registration Rights Agreement. To date, the Company has satisfied these terms and conditions. On November 7, 2007, the Company filed a shelf registration statement that was automatically declared effective. The Company will file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statement, prepare and file a supplement to the prospectus, or file a new shelf registration statement on a quarterly basis in order to include any additional selling security holders in the shelf registration statement. The Company could be subject to paying additional interest on the 5.75% Notes for the period during which a default under the 5.75% Registration Rights Agreement exists.

The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $1.5 billion. The Company used all of the net proceeds, together with available cash, to repay in full the remaining outstanding balance of the October 2006 Term Loan. All security interests under the October 2006 Term Loan have been released. In connection with this repayment, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $17 million to write off the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the October 2006 Term Loan.

The Company may elect to purchase or otherwise retire its 5.75% Notes with cash, stock or other assets from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, either directly or through intermediaries, or by tender offer, when the Company believes the market conditions are favorable to do so. Such purchases may have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015

On April 27, 2007, the Company issued $2.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the 6.00% Notes). The 6.00% Notes bear interest at 6.00% per annum. Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning November 1, 2007 until the maturity date of May 1, 2015. The terms of the 6.00% Notes are governed by an Indenture (the 6.00% Indenture) dated April 27, 2007, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.

Upon the occurrence of certain events described in the 6.00% Indenture, the 6.00% Notes will be convertible into cash up to the principal amount, and if applicable, into shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes (6.00% Conversion Shares) in respect of any conversion value above the principal amount, based on an initial conversion rate of 35.6125 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 6.00% Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $28.08 per share. This initial conversion price represents a premium of 100% relative to the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on April 23, 2007 (the trading date preceding the date of pricing of the 6.00% Notes) of $14.04 per share. The conversion rate will be adjusted for certain anti-dilution events. In addition, the conversion rate will be increased in the case of corporate events that constitute a fundamental change (as defined in the 6.00% Indenture) under certain circumstances. Holders of the 6.00% Notes may require the Company to repurchase the 6.00% Notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change or a termination of trading (as defined in the 6.00% Indenture). Additionally, an event of default (as defined in the 6.00% Indenture) may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 6.00% Notes.

The 6.00% Notes rank equally with the Company’s existing and future senior debt and are senior to all of the Company’s future subordinated debt. The 6.00% Notes rank junior to all of the Company’s existing and future senior secured debt to the extent of the collateral securing such debt and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the 6.00% Notes, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the 6.00% Registration Rights Agreement), dated April 27, 2007, between the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as representative of the several initial purchasers of the 6.00% Notes, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the resale by holders of the 6.00% Notes and the 6.00% Conversion Shares, use the Company’s reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective and keep the registration statement effective for the period described in the 6.00% Registration Rights Agreement. On July 13, 2007 the Company filed a shelf registration statement that was automatically declared effective. The Company will file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statement, prepare and file a supplement to the prospectus, or file a new shelf registration statement on a quarterly basis in order to include any additional selling security holders in the shelf registration statement. The Company could be subject to paying additional interest on the 6.00% Notes for the period during which a default under the 6.00% Registration Rights Agreement exists.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.00% Notes, on April 24, 2007, the Company purchased the capped call. The capped call has an initial strike price of $28.08 per share, subject to certain adjustment, which matches the initial conversion price of the 6.00% Notes, and a cap price of $42.12 per share. The capped call is intended to reduce the potential common stock dilution to then existing stockholders upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes because the call option allows us to receive shares of common stock from the counterparty generally equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes. The Company does not anticipate experiencing an increase in the number of shares outstanding from the conversion of the 6.00% Notes unless the price of the Company’s common stock appreciates above $42.12 per share. If, however, the market value per share

of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call, exceeds the cap price of the capped call, there would be dilution to the extent that the then market value per share of the common stock exceeds the cap price. The Company analyzed the capped call under EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock, and determined that it meets the criteria for classification as an equity transaction. As a result, the Company has recorded the purchase of the capped call as a reduction in additional paid-in capital and will not recognize subsequent changes in its fair value.

The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $2.2 billion. The Company used approximately $182 million of the net proceeds to purchase the capped call and applied $500 million of the net proceeds to prepay a portion of the amount outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan. In connection with this repayment, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $5 million to write off unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the October 2006 Term Loan repayment.

In September 2007, the FASB exposed for comment a proposed FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. APB 14-a, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (including partial cash settlement). This proposed FSP would change the accounting for certain convertible debt instruments, including the Company’s 6.00% Notes. Under the proposed new rules, for convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion, an entity should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of the proposed new rules for the Company’s 6.00% Notes is that the equity component would be included in the paid-in-capital portion of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s balance sheet and the value of the equity component would be treated as an original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 6.00% Notes. Higher interest expense would result by recognizing accretion of the discounted carrying value of the 6.00% Notes to their face amount as interest expense over the term of the 6.00% Notes. If issued as proposed, the final FSP would provide final guidance effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, would not permit early application, and would be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

The Company cannot predict the exact accounting treatment that will be imposed (which may differ from the foregoing description) or when any change will be finally implemented. However, if the final FSP is issued as exposed, the Company expects to have higher interest expense starting in the period of adoption due to the interest expense accretion and, if the retrospective application provisions of the proposed FSP are retained in the final FSP, the Company’s prior period interest expense associated with the 6.00% Notes would be higher than previously reported interest expense due to retrospective application.

The Company may elect to purchase or otherwise retire the 6.00% Notes with cash, stock or other assets from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, either directly or through intermediaries, or by tender offer, when the Company believes the market conditions are favorable to do so. Such purchases may have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

October 2006 Term Loan

On October 24, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Syndication Agent and Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent, and other lenders that may become party thereto from time to time (October 2006 Term Loan), pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion to finance a portion of the acquisition of ATI and related fees and expenses.

In November 2006, the Company repaid $278 million of the amounts outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan out of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Spansion common stock. (See Note 4). In addition, in December 2006, the Company repaid the first quarterly installment of $6 million. As of December 31 2006, $2.2 billion was outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan.

On April 27, 2007, the Company issued the 6.00% Notes. The Company applied $500 million of the net proceeds to prepay a portion of the amount outstanding under the October 2006 Term Loan. On August 14, 2007, the Company issued the 5.75% Notes. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $1.5 billion. The Company used all of the net proceeds, together with available cash, to repay in full the remaining outstanding balance of the October 2006 Term Loan.

Fab 36 Term Loan and Guarantee and Fab 36 Partnership Agreements

The Company’s 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility, Fab 36, is located in Dresden, Germany at the Company’s wafer fabrication site. Fab 36 is owned by AMD Fab 36 Limited Liability Company & Co. KG (or AMD Fab 36 KG), a German limited partnership. The Company controls the management of AMD Fab 36 KG through a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, AMD Fab 36 LLC, which is a general partner of AMD Fab 36 KG. AMD Fab 36 KG is the Company’s indirect consolidated subsidiary.

To date, the Company has provided a significant portion of the financing for Fab 36. In addition to the Company’s financing, Leipziger Messe GmbH, a nominee of the State of Saxony, Fab 36 Beteiligungs GmbH, an investment consortium arranged by M+W Zander Facility Engineering GmbH, the general contractor for the project, and a consortium of banks have provided financing for the project. Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs are limited partners in AMD Fab 36 KG. The Company has also received grants and allowances from federal and state German authorities for the Fab 36 project.

The funding to construct and facilitize Fab 36 consists of:

•

equity contributions from the Company of $860 million under the partnership agreements, revolving loans from the Company of up to approximately $1.1 billion, and guarantees from the Company for amounts owed by AMD Fab 36 KG and its affiliates to the lenders and unaffiliated partners;

•

investments of approximately $471 million from Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs;

•

loans of approximately $893 million from a consortium of banks, which were fully drawn as of December 2006;

•

up to approximately $798 million of subsidies consisting of grants and allowances, from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony; depending on the level of capital investments by AMD Fab 36 KG, of which $541 million of cash has been received as of December 29, 2007;

•

up to approximately $386 million of subsidies consisting of grants and allowances, from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony; depending on the level of capital investments in connection with the expansion of production capacity at the Company’s Dresden site, of which $17 million of cash has been received as of December 29, 2007; and

•

a loan guarantee from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony of 80 percent of the losses sustained by the lenders referenced above after foreclosure on all other security.

As of December 29, 2007, the Company contributed to AMD Fab 36 KG the full amount of equity required under the partnership agreements and no loans from the Company were outstanding. These equity amounts have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On October 13, 2006, the Company executed an Amendment Agreement dated as of October 10, 2006, which amended the terms of the Fab 36 Term Loan. Under the amended and restated Fab 36 Term Loan, AMD Fab 36 KG has the option to borrow in U.S. dollars as long as the Company’s group consolidated cash (which is defined as the sum of the Company’s unsecured cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments less the aggregate amount outstanding under any revolving credit facility) is at least $500 million. Moreover, to protect the lenders from currency risks, if the Company’s consolidated cash is below $1 billion or the Company’s credit rating drops below B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 KG will be required to maintain a cash reserve account with deposits equal to 5 percent of the amount of U.S. dollar loans outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan and to make balancing payments into this account equal to the difference between (x) the total amount of U.S. dollar loans outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan and (y) the U.S dollar equivalent of 700 million euros (as reduced by repayments, prepayments, cancellations, and any outstanding loans denominated in euros.

In October 2006, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed $645 million in U.S. dollars under the Fab 36 Term Loan (the First Installment). In December 2006, AMD Fab 36 KG borrowed $248 million in U.S. dollars under the Fab 36 Term Loan (the Second Installment). As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 KG had borrowed the full amount available under the Fab 36 Term Loan and the total amount outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan was $839 million. AMD Fab 36 KG may select an interest period of one, two, or three months or any other period agreed between AMD Fab 36 KG and the lenders. The rate of interest on each installment for the interest period selected is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable margin, plus LIBOR plus minimum reserve cost if any. As of December 29, 2007, the rate of interest for the initial interest period was 7.09875 percent for the First Installment and 6.7175 percent for the Second Installment. This loan is repayable in quarterly installments, which commenced in September 2007 and terminates in March 2011. An aggregate of $54 million has been repaid as of December 29, 2007.

The amended and restated Fab 36 Term Loan also sets forth certain covenants applicable to AMD Fab 36 KG. For example, for as long as group consolidated cash is at least $1 billion, the Company’s credit rating is at least B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, and no event of default has occurred, the only financial covenant that AMD Fab 36 KG is required to comply with is a loan to fixed asset value covenant. Specifically, the loan to fixed asset value (as defined in the agreement) as at the end of any relevant period specified in Column A below cannot exceed the percentage set out opposite such relevant period in Column B below:


Column A		Column B
(Relevant Period)		(Maximum Percentage of Loan to Fixed Asset Value)
up to and including 31 December 2008		50 percent
up to and including 31 December 2009		45 percent
thereafter		40 percent

As of December 29, 2007, AMD Fab 36 KG was in compliance with this covenant.

If group consolidated cash is less than $1 billion or the Company’s credit rating is below B3 by Moody’s and B- by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 KG will also be required to maintain minimum cash balances equal to the lesser of 100 million euros and 50 percent of the total outstanding amount under the Fab 36 Term Loan. AMD Fab 36 KG may elect to maintain the minimum cash balances in an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars if group consolidated cash is at least $500 million. If on any scheduled repayment date, the Company’s credit rating is Caa2 or lower by Moody’s or CCC or lower by Standard & Poor’s, AMD Fab 36 must increase the minimum cash balances by five percent of the total outstanding amount, and at each subsequent request of Dresdner Bank, by a further five percent of the total outstanding amount until such time as either the credit rating increases to at least Ba3 by Moody’s and BB- by Standard & Poor’s or the minimum cash balances are equal to the total outstanding amounts. The Company’s credit rating was B1 with Moody’s and B with Standard and Poor’s as of December 29, 2007.

AMD Fab 36 KG pledged substantially all of its current and future assets as security under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements, the Company pledged the Company’s equity interest in AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 LLC, AMD Fab 36 Holding pledged its equity interest in AMD Fab 36 Admin and its partnership interest in AMD Fab 36

KG and AMD Fab 36 Admin and AMD Fab 36 LLC pledged all of their partnership interests in AMD Fab 36 KG. The Company guaranteed the obligations of AMD Fab 36 KG to the lenders under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements. The Company also guaranteed repayment of grants and allowances by AMD Fab 36 KG, should such repayment be required pursuant to the terms of the subsidies provided by the federal and state German authorities.

Pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee Agreement among the Company, as guarantor, AMD Fab 36 KG, Dresdner Bank AG and Dresdner Bank AG, Niederlassung Luxemburg, the Company must comply with specified adjusted tangible net worth and EBITDA financial covenants if the sum of the Company’s group consolidated cash declines below the following amounts:


Amount (in millions)	if Moody’s Rating is at least		if Standard & Poor’s Rating is at least
$500	B1 or lower	and	B+ or lower
425	Ba3	and	BB-
400	Ba2	and	BB
350	Ba1	and	BB+
300	Baa3 or better	and	BBB-or better

As of December 29, 2007, group consolidated cash was greater than $500 million and therefore, the preceding financial covenants were not applicable.

If the Company’s group consolidated cash declines below the amounts set forth above, the Company would be required to maintain adjusted tangible net worth, determined as of the last day of each preceding fiscal quarter, of not less than the amounts set forth below:


Measurement Date on fiscal quarter ending	Amount (In millions)
December 2005	$	1,500
March 2006 and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter	$	1,750

In addition, if the Company’s group consolidated cash declines below the amounts set forth above, the Company would be required to maintain EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) as of the last day of each preceding fiscal period set forth below opposite the date of such preceding fiscal period:


Period		Amount (In millions)
For the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 2005 and for the four fiscal quarters ending on each fiscal quarter thereafter		$850 and $750 on an annualized basis for the two most recent fiscal quarters ending prior to December 31, 2006

Also on April 21, 2004, AMD, AMD Fab 36 KG, AMD Fab 36 LLC, AMD Fab 36 Holding GmbH, a German company and wholly owned subsidiary of AMD that owns substantially all of the Company’s limited partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG, and AMD Fab 36 Admin GmbH, a German company and wholly owned subsidiary of AMD Fab 36 Holding that owns the remainder of the Company’s limited partnership interest in AMD Fab 36 KG, (collectively referred to as the AMD companies) entered into a series of agreements (the partnership agreements) with the unaffiliated limited partners of AMD Fab 36 KG, Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs, relating to the rights and obligations with respect to their limited partner and silent partner contributions in AMD Fab 36 KG. The partnership was established for an indefinite period of time. A partner may terminate its participation in the partnership by giving twelve months advance notice to the other partners. The termination becomes effective at the end of the year following the year during which the notice is given. However, other than for good cause, a partner’s termination will not be effective before December 31, 2015.

The partnership agreements set forth each limited partner’s aggregate capital contribution to AMD Fab 36 KG and the milestones for such contributions. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreements, AMD, through AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin, agreed to provide an aggregate of $860 million, Leipziger Messe agreed to provide an aggregate of $294 million and Fab 36 Beteiligungs agreed to provide an aggregate of $176 million. The capital contributions of Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs are comprised of limited partnership contributions and silent partnership contributions. These contributions were due at various dates upon the achievement of milestones relating to the construction and operation of Fab 36. As of December 29, 2007, all capital contributions were made in full.

In April 2005, the Company amended the partnership agreements in order to restructure the proportion of Leipziger Messe’s silent partnership and limited partnership contributions. Although the total aggregate amount that Leipziger Messe has agreed to provide remained unchanged, the portion of its contribution that constitutes limited partnership interests was reduced by $74 million while the portion of its contribution that constitutes silent partnership interests was increased by a corresponding amount. In this report, the Company refers to this additional silent partnership contribution as the New Silent Partnership Amount.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company initially classified the portion of the silent partnership contribution that is mandatorily redeemable as debt on the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value at the time of issuance because of the mandatory redemption features described in the preceding paragraph. Each accounting period, the Company increases the carrying value of this debt towards its ultimate redemption value of the silent partnership contributions by the guaranteed annual rate of return of between 11 percent and 13 percent. The Company records this periodic accretion to redemption value as interest expense.

The limited partnership contributions that AMD Fab 36 KG received from Leipziger Messe and Fab 36 Beteiligungs and the New Silent Partnership Portion described above are not mandatorily redeemable, but rather are subject to redemption outside of the control of AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin. In consolidation, the Company initially records these contributions as minority interest, based on their fair value. Each accounting period, the Company increases the carrying value of this minority interest toward its ultimate redemption value of these contributions by the guaranteed rate of return of between 11 percent and 13 percent. The Company classifies this periodic accretion of redemption value as minority interest. No separate accounting is required for the put and call options because they are not freestanding instruments and not considered derivatives under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

In addition to support from the Company and the consortium of banks referenced above, the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony have agreed to support the Fab 36 project in the form of:

•

a loan guarantee equal to 80 percent of the losses sustained by the lenders after foreclosure on all other security; and

•

In connection with the receipt of investment grants for the Fab 36 project, AMD Fab 36 KG is required to attain a certain employee headcount by December 2008 and maintain this headcount through December 2013. The Company records these grants as long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and amortize them to operations ratably starting from December 2004 through December 2013. Initially, the Company amortized the grant amounts as a reduction to research and development expenses. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006 when Fab 36 began producing revenue generating products, the Company started amortizing these amounts as a reduction to cost of sales. For allowances, starting from the first quarter of 2006, the Company amortizes the amounts as a reduction of depreciation expense ratably over the life of the investments because these allowances are intended to subsidize the capital investments. Noncompliance with the covenants contained in the subsidy documents could result in the repayment of all or a portion of the amounts received to date.

The Fab 36 Loan Agreements also require that the Company:

•

provide funding to AMD Fab 36 KG if cash shortfalls occur, including funding shortfalls in government subsidies resulting from any defaults caused by AMD Fab 36 KG or its affiliates; and

•

guarantee 100 percent of AMD Fab 36 KG’s obligations under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements until the loans are repaid in full.

Under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements, AMD Fab 36 KG, AMD Fab 36 Holding and AMD Fab 36 Admin are generally prevented from paying dividends or making other payments to us. In addition, AMD Fab 36 KG would be in default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements if the Company or any of the AMD companies fail to comply with certain obligations thereunder or upon the occurrence of certain events and if, after the occurrence of the event, the lenders determine that their legal or risk position is adversely affected. Circumstances that could result in a default include:

•

the Company’s failure to provide loans to AMD Fab 36 KG as required under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements;

•

failure to pay any amount due under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements within five days of the due date;

•

filings or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, AMD Fab 36 KG or any limited partner;

•

occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Fab 36 Loan Agreements) of AMD;

•

AMD Fab 36 KG’s noncompliance with certain financial covenants, including loan to fixed asset value ratio and, in certain circumstances, a minimum cash covenant.

In general, any default with respect to other indebtedness of AMD or AMD Fab 36 KG that is not cured, would result in a cross-default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements.

The occurrence of a default under the Fab 36 Loan Agreements would permit the lenders to accelerate the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Fab 36 Term Loan. In addition, the occurrence of a default under this agreement could result in a cross-default under the indenture governing the Company’s 7.75% Notes, 6.00% Notes, and 5.75% Notes. The Company cannot provide assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the funds necessary to fulfill these obligations. Any such failure would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

7.75% Senior Notes Due 2012

On October 29, 2004, the Company issued $600 million of 7.75% Notes due 2012 (the 7.75% Notes) in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On April 22, 2005, the Company exchanged these notes for publicly registered notes which have substantially identical terms as the old notes except that the publicly registered notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and, therefore, do not contain legends restricting their transfer. The 7.75% Notes mature on November 1, 2012. Interest on the 7.75% Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, beginning May 1, 2005. Prior to November 1, 2008, the Company may redeem some or all of the 7.75% Notes at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a “make-whole” premium, as defined in the indenture governing the 7.75% Notes. Thereafter, the Company may redeem the 7.75% Notes for cash at the following specified prices plus accrued and unpaid interest:


Period		Price as Percentage of Principal Amount
Beginning on November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009		103.875 percent
Beginning on November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010		101.938 percent
Beginning on November 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011		100.000 percent
On November 1, 2011		100.000 percent

Holders have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of the Company’s 7.75% Notes in the event that the Company undergoes a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 7.75% Notes at a repurchase price of 101 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing the 7.75% Notes contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, which include all of the Company’s subsidiaries, from:

•

incurring additional indebtedness, except specified permitted debt;

•

paying dividends and making other restricted payments;

•

making certain investments if an event of a default exists, or if specified financial conditions are not satisfied;

•

creating or permitting certain liens;

•

creating or permitting restrictions on the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us;

•

using the proceeds from sales of assets;

•

entering into certain types of transactions with affiliates; and

•

consolidating, merging or selling the Company’s assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

In February 2006, the Company redeemed 35 percent (or $210 million) of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 7.75% Notes. The holders of the 7.75% Notes received 107.75 percent of the principal amount of the 7.75% Notes plus accrued interest. In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded an expense of approximately $16 million, which represents the 7.75% redemption premium, and a charge of $4 million, which represents 35 percent of the unamortized issuance costs incurred in connection with the original issuance of the 7.75% Notes.

The Company may elect to purchase or otherwise retire the remaining principal outstanding under the Company’s 7.75% Notes with cash, stock or other assets from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, either directly or through intermediaries, or by tender offer, when the Company believes the market conditions are favorable to do so. Such purchases may have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of December 29, 2007, the Company had aggregate outstanding capital lease obligations of $234 million. Included in this amount is $213 million in obligations under certain energy supply contracts which AMD entered into with local energy suppliers to provide the Company’s Dresden, Germany wafer fabrication plants with utilities (gas, electricity, heating and cooling) to meet the energy demand for its manufacturing requirements. The Company accounted for certain fixed payments due under these energy supply arrangements as capital leases pursuant to EITF Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease and FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The capital lease obligations under the energy supply arrangements are payable in monthly installments through 2020.

The gross amount of assets recorded under capital leases totaled approximately $215 million and $157 million as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and are included in the related property, plant and equipment category. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Accumulated amortization of these leased assets was approximately $33 million and $16 million as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

NOTE 11: Segment Reporting

Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company’s chief executive officer, reviews and assesses operating performance using segment net revenues and operating income (loss) before interest, other income (expense), equity in net loss of Spansion Inc. and other, income taxes and minority interest. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management’s judgment.

Prior to December 21, 2005, the Company had the following three reportable segments:

•

the Computation Products segment, which included microprocessor products for desktop and mobile PCs, servers and workstations and AMD chipset products;

•

the Memory Products segment, which included Spansion Flash memory products; and

•

the Personal Connectivity Solutions segment, which consisted of embedded processors for global commercial and consumer markets.

On December 21, 2005, Spansion completed its IPO. As a result of Spansion’s IPO, the Company’s financial results of operations included Spansion’s financial results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary through December 20, 2005. From December 21, 2005, Spansion’s operating results and financial position were not consolidated as part of the Company’s financial results. Instead, the Company applied the equity method of accounting to reflect its investment in Spansion from December 21, 2005 through September 20, 2007, at which time the Company changed its accounting for this investment from the equity method to accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities. Accordingly, as of December 21, 2005 the Company no longer had the Memory Products segment, and the operating results for the year 2007 are not fully comparable with the results for 2006 and 2005.

Following Spansion’s IPO, from December 26, 2005 through October 24, 2006, the Company had two reportable segments:

•

the Computation Products segment, which included microprocessors, AMD chipsets and related revenue; and

•

the Embedded Products segment, which included embedded processors and related revenue.

As a result of the ATI acquisition effective October 25, 2006, the Company had the following four reportable segments:

•

the Computation Products segment, which included microprocessors, AMD chipsets and related revenue;

•

the Embedded Products segment, which includes embedded processors and related revenue;

•

the Graphics and Chipsets segment, which included graphics, video and multimedia products and chipsets sold by ATI prior to the acquisition and related revenue; and

•

the Consumer Electronics segment, which included products used in handheld devices, digital televisions, and other consumer electronics products as well as related revenue and revenue for royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporate the Company’s technology.

Starting in the first quarter of 2007, in conjunction with the integration of ATI’s operations, the CODM began reviewing and addressing operating performance using the following three reportable segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which includes what was formerly the Computation Products segment and the Embedded Products segment as well as revenue from sales of ATI chipsets;

•

the Graphics segment, which includes graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue; and

•

the Consumer Electronics segment, which includes products used in handheld devices, digital televisions and other consumer electronics as well as revenue from royalties received in connection with sales of game console systems that incorporate the Company’s graphics technology.

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Handheld and Digital Television businesses, which were previously part of the Consumer Electronics segment. As a result, the Company classified them as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. The CODM began reviewing and assessing operating performance using the following reportable operating segments:

•

the Computing Solutions segment, which includes microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors and related revenue; and

•

In addition to the reportable segments, the Company has an All Other category, which is not a reportable segment. This category includes certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the operating segments because the CODM does not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the operating segments. Following the ATI acquisition, the CODM began including employee stock-based compensation expense, profit sharing expense and ATI acquisition-related and integration charges and charges for goodwill and intangible

asset impairment in the All Other category. Also, this category included the sale of Personal Internet Communicator (PIC) products from the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2006, when manufacture of PIC products ceased.

The following table is a summary of net revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for 2007, 2006 and 2005. This segment information has been reclassified to conform to the reportable segment structure adopted in the second quarter of 2008.

The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.

The Company’s operations outside the United States include both manufacturing and sales activities. The Company’s manufacturing subsidiaries are located in Germany, Malaysia, Singapore and China. Its sales subsidiaries are located in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The following table summarizes sales for the three years ended December 29, 2007 and long-lived assets by geographic areas as of the three years ended December 29, 2007:

Sales to external customers are based on the customer’s billing location. The increase in sales to from 2006 to 2007 is attributable to the inclusion of sales of our graphics and chipsets products to contract manufacturers and add-in-board manufacturers based outside the United States, principally in China and Taiwan, for the full year in 2007 compared to nine weeks in 2006. Long-lived assets are those assets used in each geographic area.

The Company markets and sells its products primarily to a broad base of customers including third-party distributors, OEMs, ODMs, add-in-board manufacturers, system integrators, retail stores and e-commerce retailers. In 2007, the Company had one customer that accounted for more than 10 percent of the Company’s consolidated net revenues. Net sales to this customer were approximately $1.2 billion, or 21 percent of consolidated net revenues and were primarily attributable to the Computing Solutions segment.

In 2006, the Company had two customers that accounted for more than 10 percent of the Company’s consolidated net revenues. Net sales to these customers were approximately $1.3 billion and $568 million, or 23 percent and 10 percent, respectively, of consolidated net revenues and were primarily attributable to the Computing Solutions segment.

In 2005, the Company had two customers that accounted for more than 10 percent of the Company’s consolidated net revenues. Net sales to these customers were approximately $875 million and $680 million, or 15 percent and 12 percent, of consolidated net revenues and were primarily attributable to the Computing Solutions segment and Memory Products segment.

NOTE 12: Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

The Company’s stock-based incentive programs are intended to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified employees. On April 29, 2004, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan). Equity awards are made from the 2004 Plan. Under the 2004 Plan, stock options cannot be exercised until they become vested. Generally, stock options vest and become exercisable over a three- to four-year period from the date of grant. Stock options expire at the times established by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years after the grant date. In addition, unvested shares that are released from or reacquired by the Company from outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan become available for grant under the 2004 Plan and may be reissued as new awards. The Company also has stock options outstanding under previous equity compensation plans that were in effect before April 29, 2004. Stock options that were available for grant under these prior equity compensation plans were consolidated into the 2004 Plan.

Under the 2004 Plan, the Company can grant fair market value awards or full value awards. Fair market value awards are awards granted at or above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Full value awards are awards granted at less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards can consist of (i) stock options and stock appreciation rights granted at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and (ii) restricted stock or restricted stock units, as full value awards. Following is a description of the material terms of the awards that may be granted under the 2004 Plan:

Stock Options. A stock option is the right to purchase shares of AMD’s common stock at a fixed exercise price for a fixed period of time. Under the 2004 Plan, nonstatutory and incentive stock options may be granted. The exercise price of the shares subject to each nonstatutory stock option and incentive stock option cannot be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2004 Plan must be paid in full at the time of the exercise.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Awards of stock appreciation rights may be granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan. Stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and consultants. No stock appreciation right may be granted at less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant or have a term of over ten years from the date of grant. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, the holder of such right is entitled to receive payment from AMD in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the difference between the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price by (ii) the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. AMD’s obligation arising upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right may be paid in shares or in cash, or any combination thereof.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards can be granted to any employee, director or consultant. The purchase price for an award of restricted stock is $0.00 per share. Restricted stock based on continued service may not fully vest for three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock that is performance based generally may not fully vest for at least one year from the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are awards that can be granted to any employee, director or consultant and that obligate the Company to issue a specific number of shares of the Company’s common stock in the future if the vesting terms and conditions are satisfied. The purchase price for the shares is $0.00 per share. Restricted stock units based on continued service may not fully vest for at least three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units that are performance based generally do not vest for at least one year from the date of grant.

In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company reviewed its stock-based incentive programs and decided to issue more restricted stock units. In October 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of ATI. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed substantially all issued and outstanding ATI stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards that were outstanding under existing ATI equity plans as of October 24, 2006 by issuing options to purchase approximately 17.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 2.2 million comparable AMD restricted stock units in exchange. In addition, the Company also assumed certain outstanding ATI restricted stock units which will be settled in cash upon vesting by issuing approximately 655,000 comparable AMD restricted stock units in exchange. These restricted stock units are accounted for as liability awards under SFAS 123R.

Valuation and Expense Information under SFAS 123R

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units and employee stock purchases under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the year ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, which was allocated in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Year Ended December 29, 2007		Year Ended December 31, 2006
	( In millions)
Stock-based compensation included as a component of:
Cost of sales	$	11	$	8
Research and development		47		27
Marketing, general, and administrative		48		39

Total stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases		106		74
Tax benefit		—		—

Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases, net of tax included in continuing operations	$	106	$	74

Stock-based compensation included in discontinued operations was $6 million and $3 million for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company did not capitalize stock-based compensation cost as part of the cost of an asset because the cost was insignificant.

The Company’s employee stock options have various restrictions including vesting provisions and restrictions on transfer, and must be exercised prior to their expiration date. The Company believes that the lattice-binomial model is more capable of incorporating the features of the Company’s employee stock options than closed-form models such as the Black-Scholes model.

The use of the lattice-binomial model requires the use of extensive actual employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of complex assumptions including expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The weighted-average estimated value of employee stock options granted for the year ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $5.81 and $9.40 per share respectively, using the lattice-binomial model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Options
	2007		2006
Expected life (years)	3.55		2.38
Expected stock price volatility	53.1	%	53.1	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.40	%	5.01	%

The Company used a combination of the historical volatility of its common stock and the implied volatility for two-year traded options on the Company’s common stock as the expected volatility assumption required by the lattice-binomial model. The implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options on the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that the use of implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends for the two-year periods covered by the actively traded options’ maturities than simply using historical volatility alone. The Company believes that this blended approach provides a better estimate of the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of its stock options.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the Company’s employee stock options. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is a derived output of the lattice-binomial model. The expected term of employee stock options is impacted by all of the underlying assumptions and calibration of the lattice-binomial model. The lattice-binomial model assumes that employees’ exercise behavior is a function of the option’s remaining vested term and the extent to which the option is in-the-money. The lattice-binomial model estimates the probability of exercise as a function of these two variables based on the past ten year history of exercises, post-vesting cancellations, and outstanding options on all option grants other than pre-vesting forfeitures made by the Company.

The following table summarizes stock option activity and related information for the fiscal years presented:


	Year Ended December 29, 2007				Year Ended December 31, 2006				Year Ended December 25, 2005
	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price

Exercisable at end of year	35,091		$	16.44	35,200		$	15.66	36,832		$	14.94

As of December 29, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual life of stock options outstanding was 3.57 years and their aggregate intrinsic value was $3 million. As of December 29, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual life of stock options exercisable was 3.20 years and their aggregate intrinsic value was $3 million. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $18 million, $341 million, and $161 million.

Restricted Stock Units and Awards. Restricted stock and restricted stock units vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and are based either on continued service or continued service and performance. The cost of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, and the compensation expense is recognized over the service period.

Certain Company employees have been granted performance-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock units. The number of shares ultimately received under these awards depends on actual performance against specified performance goals. The performance period is generally one to three years from the date of grant.

The summary of the changes in restricted stock awards outstanding during the year ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is presented below:


	Year Ended December 29, 2007				Year Ended December 31, 2006
	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands except share price)
Nonvested balance at beginning of period	7,062		$	24.65	1,067		$	21.46
Granted	6,445		$	14.89	6,444		$	25.61
Forfeited	(1,124	)	$	22.77	(124	)	$	26.20
Vested	(2,516	)	$	17.94	(325	)	$	33.64

Nonvested balance at end of period	9,867		$	20.20	7,062		$	24.65

The table above does not include restricted stock units accounted for as liability awards related to the ATI acquisition.

The total fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during 2007 and 2006 was $37 million and $11 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during 2005 was insignificant. Compensation expense recognized for the restricted stock units for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $68 million, $29 million and $3 million. Compensation expense recognized for the restricted stock awards is not significant.

As of December 29, 2007, the Company had $39 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.45 years.

As of December 29, 2007, the Company had $114 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.15 years.

Stock Purchase Plan. The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that allows eligible and participating employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of the Company’s common stock at 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value on the first or the last business day of the three-month offering period. As of December 29, 2007, approximately $4 million common shares remained available for issuance under the plan. As a result of cost cutting efforts, the Company suspended its ESPP program for the November 2007 and February 2008 purchase periods. A summary of stock purchased under the ESPP for the specified fiscal years is shown below:


	2007		2006		2005
Aggregate purchase price (in millions)	$	51	$	30	$	23
Shares purchased (in thousands)		4,385		1,550		2,262

Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted-average fair value of rights granted under the Company’s ESPP during 2007, 2006, and 2005, were $3.11, $6.14, and $4.29 per share. The underlying assumptions used in the model for 2007 and 2006 ESPP purchases are outlined in the following table:

	2007		2006
Expected life (years)	0.25		0.25
Expected stock price volatility	37.1	%	51.1	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.92	%	4.89	%

Pro Forma Disclosures under SFAS 123 for Periods Prior to Fiscal 2006. Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. Pursuant to SFAS 123, for pro forma disclosure purposes only, the Company estimates the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the Black-Scholes model may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our stock-based awards to employees. The fair value of our stock-based awards to employees for the year ended December 25, 2005 was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Year Ended December 25, 2005
	Options		ESPP
Expected life (years)	3.00		0.25
Expected stock price volatility	63.9	%	40.5	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.84	%	3.61	%

The following table presents the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all of its share-based compensation awards for the year ended December 25, 2005:


	2005
	(In millions except per share amounts)
Net income (loss)—as reported	$	165
Add: employee stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income (loss), net of related tax effects under APB 25		5
Less: employee stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair-value based method, net of related tax effects		122

Net income (loss)—pro forma	$	48

Basic net income (loss) per common share—as reported	$	(0.41	)
Diluted net income (loss) per common share—as reported	$	0.40
Basic net income (loss) per common share—pro forma	$	0.12
Diluted net income (loss) per common share—pro forma	$	0.12

The Company granted a total of 8,144,713 stock-based awards during 2005 with exercise prices equal to the closing price of its common stock on the grant date. The weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average fair value of these awards were $18.42 and $8.07. The Company did not grant any stock options with exercise prices greater than or less than the closing price of its common stock on the grant date during 2005. In addition, the Company also granted 1,052,401 shares of restricted stock in 2005 at less than the closing price of its common stock on the grant date. The grant price and weighted-average fair value of these awards were $0 and $21.88. During 2005, employees purchased approximately 2,262,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $23 million under the Company’s ESPP. The weighted-average fair value of rights granted under the Company’s ESPP during 2005 was $4.29 per share.

Non-Employee Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units. Unvested stock options and restricted stock units of the Company that were held by Spansion employees were subject to variable accounting under EITF No. 96-18. The fair value of unvested stock options and restricted stock units was measured pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model at each period end using prevalent market price assumptions because such awards were issued prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. In November 2006, the Company reduced its ownership interest in Spansion from approximately 38 percent to approximately 21 percent. As a result, Spansion was no longer deemed an “affiliate” under the terms of the equity incentive plans under which these options were issued, and the Company cancelled all outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock units that were held by Spansion employees as of November 21, 2006 (covering approximately 673,000 shares) and eliminated the compensation expense previously recognized for these unvested stock options and restricted stock units. The compensation expense recognized for vested stock options and restricted stock units held by Spansion employees in 2006 was not significant. There was no compensation expense recognized for stock options and restricted stock units held by Spansion employees in 2007.

Shares Reserved for Issuance. The Company had a total of approximately 88 million shares of common stock as of December 29, 2007 that are available for future grants under the 2004 Plan and the ESPP and reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding awards (including restricted stock awards) under the 2004 Plan, its prior equity compensation plans and the assumed ATI plans.

NOTE 13: Other Employee Benefit Plans

Profit Sharing Program. The Company has a profit sharing program to which the Company may authorize quarterly contributions. All employees, other than officers, who have worked with the Company for three months or more, are eligible to participate in this program. There was no profit sharing expense in 2007. Profit sharing expense was approximately $50 million in 2006 and $22 million in 2005.

Retirement Savings Plan. The Company has a retirement savings plan, commonly known as a 401(k) plan that allows participating employees in the United States to contribute up to 100 percent of their pre-tax salary subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. The Company matches employee contributions at a rate of 50 cents on each dollar of the first six percent of participants’ contributions, to a maximum of three percent of eligible compensation. The Company’s contributions to the 401(k) plan were approximately $15 million in 2007, $10 million in 2006 and $13 million in 2005.

NOTE 14: Commitments and Guarantees

For each of the next five years and beyond, noncancelable long-term operating lease obligations, including those for facilities vacated in connection with restructuring activities, and unconditional purchase commitments are as follows:


	Operating Leases		Purchase Commitments
2008	$	73	$	666
2009		61		500
2010		55		268
2011		29		257
2012		25		93
Beyond 2012		100		472

	$	343	$	2,256

The Company leases certain of its facilities, as well as the underlying land in certain jurisdictions, under agreements accounted for as operating leases that expire at various dates through 2021. The Company also leases certain of its manufacturing and office equipment under agreements accounted for as operating leases for terms ranging from one to five years. Rent expense was approximately $79 million, $57 million and $85 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The previous operating lease for the Company’s corporate marketing, general and administrative facility in Sunnyvale, California expired in December 1998, at which time the Company arranged for the sale of the facility to a third party and leased it back under a new operating lease. The Company deferred the gain ($37 million) on the sale and is amortizing it over a period of 20 years, the life of the lease. The lease expires in December 2018. At the beginning of the fourth lease year and every three years thereafter, the rent will be adjusted by 200 percent of the cumulative increase in the consumer price index over the prior three-year period, up to a maximum of 6.9 percent. Certain other operating leases contain provisions for escalating lease payments subject to changes in the consumer price index. Total future lease obligations as of December 29, 2007, were approximately $343 million, of which $50 million was recorded as a liability for certain facilities that were included in our 2002 Restructuring Plan. (See Note 16).

The Company, in the normal course of business, enters into purchase commitments to purchase raw materials, energy and gas, other manufacturing and office supplies and services. Total non-cancelable purchase commitments as of December 29, 2007, were $2.3 billion for periods through 2020. These purchase commitments include $975 million related to contractual obligations of Fab 30 and Fab 36 to purchase energy and gas and approximately $400 million representing future payments to IBM for the period from December 30, 2007 through 2011 pursuant to our joint development agreement. The remaining purchase commitments also include non-cancelable contractual obligations to purchase raw materials, natural resources and office supplies. Purchase orders for goods and services that are cancelable without significant penalties are not included in unconditional purchase commitments.

In connection with the acquisition of ATI, the Company made several commitments to the Minister of Industry under the Investment Canada Act including that it will: increase spending on research and development in Canada to a specified amount over the course of a three-year period when compared to ATI’s expenditures in this area in prior years; maintain Canadian employee headcount at specified levels by the end of the three-year anniversary of the acquisition; increase by a specified amount the number of our Canadian employees focusing on research and development; attain specified Canadian capital expenditures over a three-year period; maintain a presence in Canada via a variety of commercial activities for a period of five years; and nominate a Canadian for election to the Company’s Board of Directors over the next five years. The Company’s minimum required Canadian capital expenditures and research and development commitments are included in its aggregate unconditional purchase commitments.

Guarantees of Indebtedness Recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet

The following table summarizes the principal guarantees issued as of December 29, 2007 related to underlying liabilities that are already recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007 and their expected expiration dates by year. No incremental liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for these guarantees:


	Amounts Guaranteed		2008		2009
	(In millions)
Repurchase obligations to Fab 36 partners⁽¹⁾	$	94	$	47	$	47
Payment guarantees on behalf of consolidated subsidiaries⁽²⁾		54		54		—

Total guarantees	$	148	$	101	$	47

⁽¹⁾	This amount represents the amount of silent partnership contributions that the Company is required to repurchase from the unaffiliated limited partners of AMD Fab 36 KG and is exclusive of the guaranteed rate of return of an aggregate of approximately $112 million.

⁽²⁾

This amount represents the payment obligation due to a supplier arising out of the purchase of equipment by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, AMD Fab 36 KG. The Company has guaranteed these payment obligations on behalf of its subsidiary. At December 29, 2007, approximately $24 million was outstanding under this guarantee and recorded as a payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The obligation under the guarantee diminishes as the amounts are paid to the supplier.

Guarantees of Indebtedness not Recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet

AMTC and BAC Guarantees

The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC) and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH & Co. KG (BAC) are joint ventures formed by the Company, Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon) and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. (Dupont) for the purpose of constructing and operating an advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. The Company procures advanced photomasks from AMTC and uses them in manufacturing its microprocessors. In April 2005, DuPont was acquired by Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toppan, named Toppan Photomasks, Inc. In December 2007, Infineon entered into an assignment agreement to transfer its interest in AMTC and BAC to Qimonda AG, with the exception of certain AMTC/BAC related payment guarantees. The assignment became effective in January 2008.

In December 2002, BAC obtained a $110 million term loan to finance the construction of the photomask facility. At the same time, AMTC and BAC, as lessor, entered into a lease agreement. The term of the lease agreement is ten years, which coincides with the repayment by BAC of the $110 million term loan. Each joint venture partner guaranteed a specific percentage of AMTC’s rental payments. Pursuant to an agreement between AMTC, BAC and DuPont (now Toppan), AMTC may exercise a “step-in” right, in which it would assume Toppan’s remaining rental payments in connection with the rental agreement between Toppan and BAC. As of December 29, 2007, the Company’s guarantee of AMTC’s portion of the rental obligation was approximately $11 million, and the Company’s maximum liability in the event AMTC exercises its “step-in” right and the other joint venture partners default under the guarantee was approximately $102 million. These estimates are based upon forecasted rents to be charged in the future and are subject to change based upon the actual usage of the facility by the tenants and foreign currency exchange rates.

In December 2002, AMTC obtained a $176 million revolving credit facility to finance its operations. In December 2007, AMTC entered into a new $141 million revolving credit facility, of which $96 million was outstanding as of December 29, 2007. The proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the previous $176 million revolving credit facility and to provide additional financing for the acquisition of new tools. Subject to certain conditions under the revolving credit facility, AMTC may request that the loan amount be increased by an additional $59 million. The term of the revolving credit facility is three years. Upon request by AMTC and subject to certain conditions, the term of the revolving credit facility may be extended by two additional one year periods. Pursuant to a guarantee agreement, each joint venture partner has guaranteed one third of AMTC’s outstanding loan balance under the revolving credit facility. As of December 29, 2007, the Company’s liability under this guarantee was $32 million plus the Company’s portion of accrued interest and expenses. Under the terms of the guarantee, if

the Company’s group consolidated cash (which is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities less the aggregate amount outstanding under any revolving credit facility) is less than or expected to be less than $500 million, the Company will be required to provide a cash collateral equal to one third of the balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company evaluated its guarantee under the provisions of FIN 45 and concluded it was immaterial to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Warranties and Indemnities

The Company generally warrants that its graphics, chipset and certain products for consumer electronics devices will conform to our approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year beginning on shipment of such products to its customers. The Company generally warrants that ATI-branded PC workstation products will conform to our approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years, beginning on shipment of such products to its customers.

Changes in the Company’s potential liability for product warranty during the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:


	Year Ended
	December 29, 2007			December 31, 2006
	(In millions)
Balance, beginning of year	$	26		$	19
Fair value of warranty liability acquired from ATI		—			1
New warranties issued during the year		25			47
Settlements during the year		(25	)		(34	)
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties during the year, including expirations		(11	)		(7	)

Balance, end of year	$	15		$	26

In addition to product warranties, the Company, from time to time in its normal course of business, indemnifies other parties with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, third-party claims that the Company’s products when used for their intended purpose(s) infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations have not been material.

NOTE 15: Other Long-term Liabilities

The Company’s other long-term liabilities at December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of:


	December 29, 2007		December 31, 2006
	(In millions)
Dresden deferred grants and subsidies (see Note 9)	$	401	$	364
Restructuring accrual (see Note 16)		31		48
Deferred gain on sale leaseback of building (see Note 14)		17		18
Technology license obligations		105		66
Other		79		21

	$	633	$	517

Dresden deferred grants and subsidies were approximately $512 million and $558 million at December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $111 million and $194 million were included in the caption, “Other Current Liabilities,” on the consolidated balance sheets at December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Approximately $38 million of Dresden deferred grants and subsidies as of December 29, 2007 are associated with Fab 38. Fab 38 is the new name given to Fab 30, upon its conversion to a 300-millimeter facility. These grants and subsidies will be amortized over the lifetime of the Fab 38 equipment. The remaining deferred grants and subsidies balance as of December 29, 2007 are associated with Fab 36 (see Note 9).

NOTE 16: Restructuring and Other Special Charges

2002 Restructuring Plan

In December 2002, the Company began implementing the 2002 Restructuring Plan to further align its cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory.

The 2002 Restructuring Plan resulted in the consolidation of facilities, primarily at its Sunnyvale, California site and at sales offices worldwide. The Company vacated and is attempting to sublease certain facilities that the Company currently occupies under long-term operating leases through 2011. As of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $50 million and $67 million of related vacated lease accruals recorded which will continue to be paid through 2011. As of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $31 million and $48 million of the total restructuring accruals of $50 million and $67 million were included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 15).

NOTE 17: Contingencies

Environmental Matters

The Company is named as a responsible party on Superfund clean-up orders for three sites in Sunnyvale, California that are on the National Priorities List. Since 1981, the Company has discovered hazardous material releases to the groundwater from former underground tanks and proceeded to investigate and conduct remediation at these three sites. The chemicals released into the groundwater were commonly used in the semiconductor industry in the United States in the wafer fabrication process prior to 1979.

In 1991, the Company received Final Site Clean-up Requirements Orders from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board relating to the three sites. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with other responsible parties on two of the orders. During the term of such agreements other parties have agreed to assume most of the foreseeable costs as well as the primary role in conducting remediation activities under the orders. The Company remains responsible for additional costs beyond the scope of the agreements as well as all remaining costs in the event that the other parties do not fulfill their obligations under the settlement agreements.

To address anticipated future remediation costs under the orders, the Company has computed and recorded an estimated environmental liability of approximately $3.5 million, and the Company has not recorded any potential insurance recoveries in determining the estimated costs of the cleanup. The progress of future remediation efforts cannot be predicted with certainty, and these costs may change. The Company believes that the potential liability, if any, in excess of amounts already accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Other Matters

The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various other actions that arose in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

U.S. Consumer Class Action Lawsuits

In February and March 2006, two consumer class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against ATI and three of its subsidiaries. The complaints allege that ATI had misrepresented its graphics cards as being “HDCP ready” when they were not, and on that basis alleged violations of state consumer protection statutes, breach of express and implied warranty, negligent misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment. On April 18, 2006, the Court entered an order consolidating the two actions. On June 19, 2006, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint, alleging violations of California’s consumer protection laws, breach of express warranty, and unjust enrichment. On June 21, 2006, a third consumer class action that was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee in May 2006 alleging claims that are substantially the same was transferred to the Northern District of California, and on July 31, 2006, that case was also consolidated into the consolidated action pending in the Northern District of California. ATI filed an answer to the consolidated complaint on August 7, 2006. On September 28, 2007, the Court entered an order denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification without prejudice, granting plaintiffs additional time to conduct class discovery and granting plaintiffs certain fees and costs. The discovery process is ongoing.

Department of Justice Subpoena

On November 29, 2006, AMD received a subpoena for documents and information in connection with the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, criminal investigation into potential antitrust violations related to graphics processing units and cards, with a focus on the business that AMD acquired from ATI on October 26, 2006. AMD entered the graphics processor business following our acquisition of ATI on October 25, 2006. The DOJ has not made any specific allegations against AMD or ATI. AMD is cooperating with the investigation.

GPU Class Actions

Currently over fifty related antitrust actions have been filed against AMD, ATI and Nvidia Corporation, all of which were consolidated and transferred to the Northern District of California in the action In re Graphics Processing Units Antitrust Litigation including twenty-eight actions in the Northern District of California, eleven in the Central District of California, two in Massachusetts, one in the Western District of Wisconsin, three in South Carolina, one in Vermont, one in Kansas, two in the District of Columbia, one in the Eastern District of New York, one in the Eastern District of Arkansas, one in South Dakota, one in the Middle District of Tennessee and one in the Eastern District of Tennessee. According to the complaints, plaintiffs filed each of the actions after reading press reports that AMD and Nvidia had received subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division in connection with the DOJ’s investigation into potential antitrust violations related to graphics processing units and cards. All of the actions appear to allege that the defendants conspired to fix, raise, maintain, or stabilize the prices of graphics processing units and cards in violation of federal antitrust law and/or state antitrust law. Further, each of the complaints is styled as a putative class action and alleges a class of plaintiffs (either indirect or direct purchasers) who purportedly suffered injury as a result of the defendants’ alleged conduct. Class plaintiffs (direct and indirect) filed amended consolidated complaints in June 2007. The amended consolidated complaints proposed a class period from December 2002 to the present. On September 27, 2007, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motion to dismiss. Pursuant to the court’s order, plaintiffs filed motions to amend their complaints on October 11, 2007, and defendants filed oppositions to plaintiffs’ motions on October 18, 2007. On November 7, 2007, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion in part and denied it in part and ordered plaintiffs immediately to file their amended complaints in conformity with the court’s order. On November 7 and November 8, 2007, plaintiffs (indirect and direct purchasers) filed their amended complaints. In addition to AMD and ATI, the amended complaints named AMD US Finance, Inc. and 1252986 Alberta ULC as defendants. On November 27 and 28, 2007, the defendants filed their answers to the indirect and direct purchasers’ amended complaints. The discovery process in ongoing. The court has scheduled a jury trial to begin on January 12, 2009.

NOTE 18: Subsequent Events

Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Handheld and Digital Television business units and classified them as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company segregated the assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations from those assets and liabilities related to continuing operations on the consolidated balance sheets and the Company segregated the operating results of discontinued operations from those of continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

The results from discontinued operations, net of tax, are as follows:


	Year Ended
	December 29, 2007			December 31, 2006
	(In millions)
Revenue	$	319		$	97
Expenses		(499	)		(156	)
Impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets		(1,003	)		—

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(1,183	)	$	(59	)

The carrying value of the assets of discontinued operations was $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Included in these balances is goodwill and acquired intangible assets in the amounts of $1.2 billion and $2.4 billion as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The carrying value of the liabilities for discontinued operations was $26 million and $32 million as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Cash used in operating, investing or financing activities for discontinued operations is not material and has been combined with cash flows from continuing operations within the consolidated statement of cash flows categories.

undiscounted future net cash flows, the Company measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceeded the estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows. The remaining carrying values of goodwill related to these business units were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations. Based on the results of the impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $876 million in the second quarter of 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that, based on the continuing negotiations related to the divestiture of its Handheld business unit, the discontinued operations classification criteria for this business unit were no longer met. As a result, the Company intends to reclassify the operating results of this business unit back to continuing operations in its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Spansion Investment

During fiscal 2008, after considering Spansion’s operating results and stock price trends, the Company recorded further impairment charges of $24 million and $9 million in its second and third fiscal quarters. The Company expects to record an additional impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Restructuring

In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring), which included a reduction-in-force (RIF) and certain contract termination costs related to technologies it was no longer pursuing and recorded a total charge of $32 million. The RIF component, which is comprised primarily of severance and costs related to the continuance of certain employee benefits, totaled approximately $23 million. Other exit-related costs, including $6 million of non-cash charges, totaled approximately $9 million.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded additional severance and related costs of approximately $9 million in connection with the Second Quarter 2008 Restructuring.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, in order to achieve its goal of attaining a lower operating results breakeven point, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its cost structure and expects to incur additional restructuring charges in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 as a result of this plan.

Department of Justice Subpoena

On October 10, 2008, U.S. Department of Justice informed the Company that it had closed its investigation into ATI’s pricing and marketing practices in the sales of GPUs.

GPU Class Action Lawsuits

On September 16, 2008, the Company and certain subsidiaries executed a settlement agreement relating to the claims of the certified class of direct purchaser plaintiffs previously approved by the District Court for the Northern District of California. The settlement agreement calls for the Company to make a payment of $850,000 into a fund for the benefit of the certified class in exchange for a dismissal of all claims related to the lawsuit. The Company is not obligated under the settlement agreement to pay attorneys’ fees, costs, or make any other payments in connection with the settlement. The settlement agreement is subject to court approval and, if approved, would dispose of all claims raised by the certified class. On October 2, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order staying the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ petition for permission to appeal the District Court’s order regarding class certification.

On September 9, 2008, the Company and NVIDIA also reached a settlement agreement with the remaining individual indirect purchaser plaintiffs in the lawsuit that provides for a payment of $112,500 in exchange for a dismissal of all claims and appeals related to the lawsuit raised by the individual indirect purchaser plaintiffs. This settlement is not subject to the approval of the District Court. Pursuant to the settlement, the individual indirect purchaser plaintiffs have dismissed their claims and withdrawn their petition for permission to appeal the District Court’s order denying their motion for class certification.

Repurchase of Auction Rate Securities

In October 2008, Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) offered to repurchase $82 million at par value of the Company’s auction rate securities (ARS) that were purchased from UBS prior to February 13, 2008. The Company accepted this offer. From June 30, 2010 and ending July 2, 2012, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell, at par, these ARS to UBS. Prior to June 30, 2010, the Company will continue to earn and receive all interest that is payable for these ARS. Furthermore, prior to June 30, 2010, UBS, at its sole discretion, may sell, or otherwise dispose of, and/or enter orders in the auctions process with respect to these securities on the Company’s behalf so long as the Company receives par value for the ARS sold. UBS has also agreed to use its best efforts to facilitate issuer redemptions and/or to resolve the liquidity concerns of holders of their ARS through restructurings and other means.

Proposed Manufacturing Joint Venture

Pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement dated October 6, 2008, as amended on December 5, 2008, entered into by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD or the Company), Advanced Technology Investment Company LLC (ATIC) and West Coast Hitech L.P., acting through its general partner, West Coast Hitech G.P., Ltd (WCH) (as amended, the Master Transaction Agreement), AMD and ATIC will form a manufacturing joint venture, The Foundry Company. AMD will contribute certain manufacturing-related assets and liabilities to The Foundry Company in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares, and ATIC will contribute cash to The Foundry Company and pay cash to AMD in exchange for securities of The Foundry Company consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, Class A Convertible Notes and Class B Convertible Notes (collectively, the Convertible Notes). The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products and will provide certain foundry services to AMD, and in the future, expects to offer foundry services to other third-party customers.

The Master Transaction Agreement contemplates that AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the Shareholders’ Agreement), which sets forth the rights and obligations of AMD and ATIC as shareholders of The Foundry Company. In addition, a Funding Agreement among AMD, ATIC and The Foundry Company will provide for further equity funding of The Foundry Company by ATIC of a minimum of $3.6 billion and up to $6.0 billion over the five years after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement (the Closing), and a Wafer Supply Agreement between AMD and The Foundry Company will govern the terms by which AMD will purchase products manufactured by The Foundry Company. The Foundry Company will manufacture semiconductor products using intellectual property transferred by AMD to The Foundry Company, and certain intellectual property licensed to AMD. Immediately following the Closing, the Company and ATIC will be the only stockholders of The Foundry Company, each of which will have equal voting rights, and The Foundry Company will be owned 34.2 percent by the Company and 65.8 percent by ATIC on a fully converted to common share basis. Because when formed The Foundry Company will be a variable interest entity and the Company will be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the operations of The Foundry Company, the Company expects, during the first few years following formation, to consolidate The Foundry Company’s financial position and operating results for financial reporting purposes pursuant to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51.

of $0.01 per share (the Warrants) for an aggregate purchase price equal to 58,000,000 multiplied by the lower of (A) the average closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 or (B) the average closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Closing. The Warrants are exercisable after the earlier of (a) public ground-breaking of Fab 4X in New York and (b) 24 months from the date of issuance.

Goodwill Impairment

In the fourth quarter of 2008, pursuant to its accounting policy, the Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill. As a result of this analysis, which was updated during the quarter in light of the current market conditions and economic outlook and due to the continuing deterioration in the price of the Company’s common stock and the resulting reduced market capitalization, the Company concluded that the current carrying value of its goodwill related to its Graphics segment and chipset business was impaired.

The Company expects that the resulting impairment charge to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 will be material, but, as of the time of this filing, the Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of amounts of the impairment charge. The Company will disclose such an estimate or range of estimates in a filing with the SEC promptly and in any event within four business days of determining such an estimate or range of estimates. In addition, the Company will also perform an analysis to identify whether there is also potential impairment of any of the remaining identifiable intangible assets acquired in the ATI acquisition. As of the time of this filing, the Company is unable to make a determination of an estimate of the amount or range of amounts of the impairment charge or whether it will be material. In the event the charge is material, the Company will disclose the amount in a filing with the SEC. The Company will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of these impairments. These known and potentially additional goodwill and/or intangible asset impairment charges will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 27, 2008.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule (not separately presented herein), which is listed in the Index to the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and Subsidiaries 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K at Item 15(1). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal year 2006, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

In fiscal year 2006 we used the equity method of accounting to reflect our share of Spansion’s net loss. In September 2007, as a result of our loss of the ability to exercise significant influence over Spansion, we ceased applying the equity method of accounting and began accounting for this investment as “available-for-sale” marketable securities under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We recorded impairment charges of $69 million and $42 million in the quarters ended December 29 and September 29, respectively.
