Sunnyvale, Calif. - AMD, the Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC), and Mubadala Development Company have entered an agreement to create a leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing joint venture, currently known as The Foundry Company.
The amendments to the terms between AMD and Mubadala provide for the following:
· Mubadala will purchase 58 million shares of AMD's common stock at a revised purchase price per share equal to the lower of (i) the average closing price per share of AMD's common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to and including December 12, 2008 or (ii) the average closing price per share of AMD's common stock on the NYSE during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the transaction.
· AMD will issue to Mubadala an additional 5 million warrants topurchase AMD stock, for a total of 35 million warrants.
The amendments to the terms between AMD and ATIC provide for the following:
· The enterprise value of the manufacturing assets to be contributed by AMD to The Foundry Company will be reduced from a multiplier of 1.13xto 0.85x of the net book value of the assets.
As a result, AMD will own approximately 34.2 percent and ATIC will own approximately 65.8 percent of The Foundry Company's fully-converted common stock. AMD and ATIC will each have equal voting rights at the close of the transaction.
The net asset valuation multiple on future capital calls of The Foundry Company will be reduced from 1.1x to 0.9x. All other material economic terms of the transaction agreements remain unchanged.
ATIC will still 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 will pay $700 million to AMD.
