SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/03/13 — (NYSE: AMD) announced today that it has commenced a registered exchange offer to exchange any and all of its outstanding 7.50% Senior Notes due 2022, which were issued in a private placement (the “Private Notes,”) for an equal principal amount of new 7.50% Senior Notes due 2022 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registered Notes”).
The sole purpose of the exchange offer is to fulfill AMD-s obligations with respect to the registration of the Private Notes.

Any Private Notes not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any rights under the registration rights agreement except in limited circumstances.
The terms of the exchange offer are contained in the exchange offer prospectus dated May 3, 2013.
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, June 3, 2013, unless extended. Private Notes tendered pursuant to the exchange offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date by following the procedures set forth in the exchange offer prospectus.
