SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2016) - AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the final results and expiration of its previously announced cash tender offers for certain of its outstanding 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019, 7.75% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "7.75% Notes"), 7.50% Senior Notes due 2022 and 7.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "7.00% Notes" and, collectively, the "Notes"), subject to any applicable tender cap.

According to information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Tender Agent and Information Agent in connection with the tender offers, as of 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Oct. 6, 2016 (that date and time, the "Expiration Date"), AMD had received valid tenders from holders of the Notes as outlined in the table below. The aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase has not changed since the early tender and consent deadline of Sept. 22, 2016 (the "Early Tender Date").

 (1) All 7.75% Notes outstanding following the Early Settlement Date were redeemed on Sept. 28, 2016, as described below.

All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offers at or prior to the Early Tender Date were subject to proration and settled by AMD on Sept. 23, 2016 (the "Early Settlement Date"). On Sept. 23, 2016, AMD also announced that it decreased the aggregate maximum tender amount from $1,035 million to $848 million, such that AMD would only offer to purchase Notes in the tender offers for up to $848 million aggregate total consideration. As a result of the aggregate maximum tender amount having been met at the Early Settlement Date, AMD will not be accepting for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date. Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the applicable holders' account.

As previously announced on the Early Settlement Date, following the receipt of the requisite consents to the proposed amendments to the terms of the 7.75% Note, AMD entered into a supplemental indenture effecting the proposed amendments with respect to the indenture governing the 7.75% Notes, which became effective on Sept. 23, 2016. The supplemental indenture reduced the minimum notice period required in connection with redemption of the 7.75% Notes from 30 days to 3 business days. AMD notified holders of its 7.75% Notes on Sept. 23, 2016 that it would redeem all 7.75% Notes that remained outstanding after the Early Settlement Date. Following such redemption on Sept. 28, 2016, none of the 7.75% Notes remained outstanding.

Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as the Dealer Managers for the tender offers and as Solicitation Agents for the consent solicitation, and D.F. King & Co., Inc. acted as the Tender Agent and Information Agent in connection with the tender offers.
