Additional Information and Where to Find It<br />

<strong>AMD</strong> will file a proxy statement pursuant to which <strong>AMD</strong>’s board of directors will solicit<br />

proxies in connection with seeking <strong>AMD</strong> stockholder approval of the issuance of <strong>AMD</strong> shares<br />

and warrants pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement with the Securities and<br />

Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors and security holders are urged to read<br />

the proxy statement when it becomes available and other relevant documents filed<br />

with the SEC because they will contain important information. Security holders may<br />

obtain a free copy of the proxy statement, when <strong>AMD</strong> files it with the SEC in the coming<br />

weeks, and other documents filed by <strong>AMD</strong> with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at<br />

http://www.sec.gov. The proxy statement and other documents may also be obtained free<br />

of charge by contacting <strong>AMD</strong> Investor Relations at investor.relations@amd.com or by<br />

telephone: (408) 749-4000.<br />

<strong>AMD</strong> and its executive officers and directors may be deemed to be participants in the<br />

solicitation of proxies from <strong>AMD</strong>’s stockholders with respect to the issuance of <strong>AMD</strong> shares<br />

and warrants pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement. Information regarding such<br />

executive officers and directors is included in <strong>AMD</strong>’s Proxy Statement for its 2008 Annual<br />

Meeting of Stockholders filed with the SEC on March 14, 2008, which is available free of<br />

charge at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov and by contacting <strong>AMD</strong> Investor<br />

Relations at investor.relations@amd.com or by telephone: (408) 749-4000. Certain<br />

executive officers and directors of <strong>AMD</strong> have interests in the transaction that may differ<br />

from the interests of <strong>AMD</strong> stockholders generally. These interests will be described in the<br />

proxy statement when <strong>AMD</strong> files it with the SEC in the coming weeks.<br />
