Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Indenture. On November 30, 2009, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) issued $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). The terms and conditions of the Notes and related matters are set forth in the Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2009, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). A copy of the Indenture, including the form of the Notes, is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture. Additional information pertaining to the Notes is contained in Item 2.03 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated November 30, 2009, with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representative of the initial purchasers of the Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will file an exchange offer registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for notes (“Exchange Notes”) having identical terms in all material respects to the Notes and which will evidence the same continuing indebtedness of the Company (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or interest rate increases as described below). The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and to consummate the exchange offer by no later than August 27, 2010. If the Company does not meet this deadline (a “Registration Default”) then, subject to certain exceptions, the interest rate borne by the Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum. Thereafter the interest rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each 90 day period until such Registration Default is cured, provided that the aggregate increase in such annual interest rate will not in any event exceed 1.00%.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off- Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On November 30, 2009, the Company issued $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Notes due 2017. The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning June 15, 2010 until the maturity date of December 15, 2017. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are not guaranteed by any third party.

Certain events are considered “Events of Default,” which may result in the accelerated maturity of the Notes, including (i) a default in any interest, principal or premium amount payment;

(ii) a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its property; (iii) a breach of covenants in the Notes or the Indenture; (iv) a default in certain debts; (v) if the Company incurs any judgment for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million; or (vi) if a court enters certain orders or decrees under any bankruptcy law. Upon occurrence of one of these events, the trustee or certain holders may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable. If certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company occur, all amounts on the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act by the trustee or holders of the Notes.
