NOTE 19: Subsequent Events
In January 2009, the Company completed the sale of certain graphics and multimedia technology assets and
intellectual property that were formerly part of its Handheld business unit to Qualcomm Incorporated for $65
million in cash. In addition, certain employees of the Handheld business were transferred to Qualcomm. The
assets the Company sold to Qualcomm had a carrying value of approximately $32 million and were classified as
assets held for sale and included in the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Company’s
2008 consolidated balance sheet. As part of the Company’s agreement with Qualcomm, the Company retained
the AMD Imageon™ media processor brand and the rights to continue selling the products that were part of the
Handheld business unit. The Company intends to support existing handheld products and customers through the
current product lifecycles. However, the Company does not intend to develop any new handheld products or
engage new customer programs beyond those already committed.
In January 2009, the Company announced additional headcount reductions, primarily focused on back-end
manufacturing and sales, marketing, and general and administrative functions, and cost reduction activities
including temporary salary reductions for employees in the United States and Canada and suspension of certain
employment benefits such as the Company’s 401(k) plan matching program. These additional cost reduction
actions will result in an additional restructuring charges in the first and second quarters of 2009.
In February 2009, the Company repurchased approximately $158 million in principal amount of the 6.00%
Notes by paying approximately $57 million cash which will result in a gain in the first quarter of 2009.
