The tender offers will expire at 12:00 midnight New York City time, at the end of the day on Oct. 6, 2016, unless extended (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Expiration Date") or earlier terminated by AMD. Holders who validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their Notes on or prior to the Expiration Date, will receive the Tender Offer Consideration amount set forth in the table below for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offers, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of payment for the Notes accepted for payment (the "Tender Offer Consideration"). Furthermore, holders who validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Sept. 22, 2016 will receive the Early Tender Premium amount set forth in the table below for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes purchased pursuant to the Offers (the "Early Tender Premium") in addition to the Tender Offer Consideration (the Tender Offer Consideration, together with any Early Tender Premium, the "Total Consideration"), in the amount set forth in the table below for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Upon the receipt of the required consents to approve the Proposed Amendments, AMD will enter into a supplemental indenture to amend the terms of the indenture governing the 7.75% Notes. Tenders of the Notes must be made on or prior to the Expiration Date, and the Notes may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Early Tender Date.
