The following factors, among others, could affect actual results and future events: (1) that Intel Corporation’s pricing, marketing and rebating programs, product bundling, standard setting, new product introductions or other activities may negatively impact sales; (2) that our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from implementing our strategy or fulfilling our contractual obligations; (3) that we will require additional funding and may be unable to raise sufficient capital, on favorable terms, or at all; (4) that we may be unable to maintain the level of investment in research and development that is required to remain competitive; (5) that we may be unable to develop, launch and ramp new products and technologies in the volumes required by the market on a timely basis; (6) that we may be unable to transition to advanced manufacturing process technologies in a timely and effective way; (7) that there may be unexpected variations in market growth and demand for our products and technologies in light of the product mix that we may have available at any particular time; (8) that demand for computers will be lower than currently expected; (9) that we may under-utilize GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. and our own manufacturing facilities; and (10) the effect of political or economic instability, domestically or internationally, on our sales or production.

TO BE VALID, TENDERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.

We are offering to purchase, on a pro rata basis, up to the Maximum Tender Amount of the Notes in the Offer. Following completion of the Offer, subject to the restrictions of Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act, the Company may purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers or otherwise. Any future purchase may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Holders of Notes than the terms of the Offer. Any future purchases by us will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which of these alternatives, if any, we will choose to pursue.

Valid Tender. For a Holder to validly tender Notes pursuant to the Offer, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or facsimile thereof, with any required signature guarantee, or in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message (as defined below) in lieu of the Letter of Transmittal, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at the address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase on or before the Expiration Date. In addition, on or before the Expiration Date, either:

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the Depositary and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering participant, which acknowledgment states that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce such Letter of Transmittal against such participant.

Only Holders are authorized to tender their Notes. In all cases, notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer or contained in this Offer to Purchase, the payment for the Notes tendered and accepted for payment will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of certificates representing tendered Notes or book-entry confirmation, the Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, properly completed and duly executed and any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message and other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.

If the Notes are held of record in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, or if certificates for unpurchased Notes are to be issued to a person other than the registered Holder, the Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer entitling the signer to tender the Notes on behalf of the registered Holder, in any case signed exactly as the name of the registered Holder appears on the Notes, with the signatures on the certificates or instruments of transfer guaranteed as described below.

Need for Signature Guarantee. Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a recognized participant (each, a “Medallion Signature Guarantor”) in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program, unless the tendered Notes are tendered:

Book-Entry Delivery of the Notes. Within two business days after the date of this Offer to Purchase, the Depositary will establish an account with respect to the Notes at DTC for purposes of the Offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the DTC system may make book-entry delivery of Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Notes into the Depositary’s account in accordance with DTC’s procedure for such transfer. Although delivery of Notes may be effected through book-entry at DTC, the Letter of Transmittal or facsimile thereof, with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message in lieu of the Letter of Transmittal, and any other required documents, must be transmitted to and received by the Depositary on or before the Expiration Date at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE DEPOSITARY.

General. The tender of Notes pursuant to the Offer by one of the procedures set forth above will constitute:

The acceptance for payment by us of Notes will constitute a binding agreement between us and the tendering Holder upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, CERTIFICATES FOR NOTES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING HOLDER. IF A HOLDER CHOOSES TO DELIVER BY MAIL, THE RECOMMENDED METHOD IS BY REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Form and Validity. All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance for payment and withdrawal of tendered Notes will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, and our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of Notes that we determine are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right in our sole discretion to waive

any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of Notes of any particular Holder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other Holders. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer, including the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, will be final and binding. None of us, the Dealer Managers, the Depositary, the Information Agent or the Trustee or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or any notices of withdrawal or will incur liability for failure to give any such notification.

Compliance with “Short Tendering” Rule. It is a violation of Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act for a person, directly or indirectly, to tender Notes for his own account unless the person so tendering (a) has a net long position equal to or greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being tendered and (b) will cause such Notes to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Rule 14e-4 provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person.

A tender of Notes in the Offer under any of the procedures described above will constitute the tendering Holder’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer, as well as the tendering Holder’s representation and warranty that (a) such Holder has a net long position in the Notes being tendered pursuant to the Offer within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act and (b) the tender of such Notes complies with Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act. Our acceptance for payment of the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Holder and AMD upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

Backup Withholding Tax. Under the backup withholding provisions of United States federal income tax law, unless a Holder satisfies the conditions described in the Letter of Transmittal accompanying this Offer to Purchase or is otherwise exempt, the cash payable as a result of the Offer may be subject to backup withholding tax. To prevent backup withholding tax, a Holder should complete and sign Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8. See the discussion in the Letter of Transmittal.

When Notes may be Withdrawn. You may withdraw your tendered Notes at any time on or before the Expiration Date. You may also withdraw your Notes if we have not accepted them for payment by January 15, 2010 (40 business days from the commencement of the Offer). A withdrawal of previously tendered Notes may not be rescinded. Any Notes validly withdrawn will be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Offer unless such Notes are validly re-tendered.

Holders who have validly withdrawn their previously tendered Notes may re-tender Notes at any time on or before the Expiration Date, by following one of the procedures described in “—Procedure for Tendering Notes.” In the event of a termination of the Offer, the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering Holder.

Procedure for Withdrawing Notes. For a withdrawal of Notes to be valid, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. The withdrawal notice must:

Alternatively, the notice of withdrawal must be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to us, in our sole discretion, that the person withdrawing the tender has succeeded to the beneficial ownership of the Notes. In addition, any such notice of withdrawal must specify, in the case of Notes tendered by delivery of certificates for such Notes, the name of the registered Holder, if different from that of the tendering Holder or, in the case of Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Notes. The signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless such Notes have been tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. If certificates for the Notes to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, a signed notice of withdrawal will be effective immediately upon receipt by the Depositary of a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal even if physical release is not yet effected. Any Notes validly withdrawn will be deemed to be not validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. Withdrawals of Notes can be accomplished only in accordance with the foregoing procedures.

If a Holder tenders its Notes in the Offer, such Holder may convert its Notes only if such Holder validly withdraws its Notes prior to the time such Holder’s right to withdraw has expired. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at the Holder’s option, at a conversion rate (subject to adjustment) of 49.6771 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes. This represents a conversion price per share of $20.13. The Indenture provides that the Notes are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2012.

Form and Validity. All questions as to the form and validity, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal of tenders will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. None of us, the Dealer Managers, the Depositary, the Information Agent or the Trustee or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notices of withdrawal or be subject to any liability for failure to give any such notification.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, we will not be obligated to accept for payment validly tendered Notes pursuant to the Offer, and may terminate the Offer, if the Financing Condition is not satisfied, if the Settlement Condition is not satisfied or if the General Conditions set forth below are not satisfied.

For purposes of the foregoing provisions, all of the “General Conditions” shall be deemed to have been satisfied on the Expiration Date unless, in our reasonable judgment, any of the following conditions shall have occurred and be continuing on or after the date hereof and before the Expiration Date:

Any determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above, including the Financing Condition and the Settlement Condition, will be final and binding on all parties. We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the Offer and to not accept for payment any Notes upon the failure of the satisfaction of the General Conditions. In addition, we expressly reserve the right, at any time or at various times, to waive any of the conditions of the Offer, in whole or in part. We will give oral or written notice (with any oral notice to be promptly confirmed in writing) of any amendment, non-acceptance, termination or waiver to the Information Agent as promptly as practicable, followed by a timely press release.

These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of such right. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion at any time or from time to time, subject to applicable law:

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the Offer. If the General Conditions set forth under “—Conditions to the Offer,” the Financing Condition or the Settlement Condition have failed to be

satisfied, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to (i) terminate the Offer and not accept for payment and not pay for any Notes tendered that we have not already accepted for payment and paid for and (ii) subject to applicable law, postpone payment for any tendered Notes. If we elect to terminate the Offer or postpone payment for tendered Notes, we will give written notice to the Depositary and make a public announcement of such termination or postponement. Our reservation of the right to delay payment for Notes that we have accepted for payment is limited by Section 13e-4(f)(5), which requires that we pay the consideration offered or return the Notes tendered promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

If we materially change the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if we waive a material condition of the Offer, we will disseminate additional tender offer materials and extend the Offer to the extent required by Rule 13e-4(d)(2), Rule 13e-4(e)(3) and Rule 14e-1(b) under the Exchange Act.

We will notify you as promptly as practicable of any other extension, waiver, amendment or termination by press release or other public announcement, with the announcement in the case of an extension to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make any public announcement, we will have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by issuing a release to the Dow Jones News Service.

If we terminate the Offer, we will give immediate notice of the termination to the Depositary, and all Notes previously tendered will be returned promptly to the tendering Holders thereof. If the Offer is withdrawn or otherwise not completed, the purchase price will not be paid or become payable to Holders of Notes who have validly tendered their Notes in the Offer.

In deciding whether to participate in the Offer, you should consider the following factors, in addition to the other information presented in this Offer to Purchase and the documents that we incorporate by reference into this Offer to Purchase.

No Recommendations Concerning the Offer. None of the Company or its Board of Directors or employees, the Dealer Managers, the Information Agent, the Trustee or the Depositary or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation to any Holder whether to tender or refrain from tendering any or all of such Holder’s Notes, and none of them has authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Holders are urged to evaluate carefully all information in the Offer, consult their own investment, legal and tax advisors and make their own decisions whether to tender Notes, and, if they decide to tender Notes, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

Limited Trading Market. To the extent that Notes are tendered and accepted in the Offer, the trading market for Notes that remain outstanding following consummation of the Offer will become more limited. A bid for a debt security with a smaller outstanding principal amount available for trading (a smaller “float”) may be lower than a bid for a comparable debt security with a greater float. Therefore, the market price of any untendered or otherwise unpurchased Notes may be affected adversely to the extent that the Notes tendered and purchased pursuant to the Offer reduce the float. The reduced float may also make the trading price more volatile. Consequently, the liquidity, market value and price volatility of Notes that remain outstanding may be adversely affected.

Holders of untendered or unpurchased Notes may attempt to obtain quotations for such Notes from their brokers; however, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the Notes following the Offer. The extent of the public market for the Notes following consummation of the Offer would depend upon the number of Holders holding Notes remaining at such time and the interest in maintaining a market in the Notes on the part of securities firms and other factors.

We may purchase the Notes after the expiration of the Offer on terms less favorable than those proposed in the Offer. Subject to applicable legal requirements, we expressly reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion from time to time in the future, to purchase any of the Notes, whether or not any Notes are purchased pursuant to the Offer, that remain outstanding following termination or expiration of the Offer, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, which may be more or less than the price to be paid pursuant to the Offer and could be for cash or other consideration.

Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Date may only be withdrawn, in writing, prior to the Expiration Date (12:00 midnight, New York City time, on December 16, 2009, unless we extend or earlier terminate the Offer). Holders should not tender any Notes that they do not wish to be accepted for purchase.

TO COMPLY WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230, HOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN BY US TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED BY ANY TAXPAYER, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED; (B) THIS DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) A TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THE TAXPAYER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to Holders of the Notes with respect to the Offer. This discussion is for general information only and does not consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular Holder in light of the Holder’s individual circumstances or to certain types of Holders subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation, financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, U.S. expatriates, traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, persons that hold Notes as part of a “straddle,” a “hedge,” a “conversion transaction,” or other “integrated transaction,” persons that acquired Notes in connection with employment or the performance of services, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, and S corporations, partnerships and other pass-through entities (or investors in such entities). In addition, this discussion does not address state, local or foreign tax considerations with respect to the Offer or U.S. federal tax considerations other than income taxation. This summary assumes that U.S. Holders have held their Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment).

This summary is based on the Code and applicable Treasury regulations, rulings, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax considerations that are different from those discussed below. The Company has not obtained, and does not intend to obtain, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to the U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein and that a court would not agree with the IRS.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Notes that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.; (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust that is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more U.S. persons, or that has a valid election in effect under the applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code.

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is an individual, a corporation or an estate or a trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

If any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds a Note, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any partners of a partnership holding the Notes are urged to consult their tax advisors.

Sale of Notes Pursuant to the Offer. The receipt of cash by a U.S. Holder in exchange for a Note pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. Holder tendering a Note generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in exchange for such Note (other than any amount allocable to accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, which will be taxable as described below) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s “adjusted tax basis” in the Note at the time of sale. Generally, a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note will equal the cost of the Note, increased by market discount, if any, previously included in the U.S. Holder’s income, and reduced (but not below zero) by any amortizable bond premium that an electing U.S. Holder has previously used to offset stated interest. Amortizable bond premium is generally defined as the excess of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note immediately after its acquisition over the sum of all amounts payable on the Note after the purchase date other than payments of stated interest. Subject to the market discount rules discussed below, gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder tendering a Note generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Note is more than one year at the time of the sale. Non-corporate taxpayers generally are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation on net long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Amounts received by a U.S. Holder in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on a Note generally will be taxed as ordinary interest income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent not previously included in income.

Market Discount. A Note has “market discount” if its stated redemption price at maturity (as defined for purposes of the market discount rules) exceeds its tax basis in the hands of a U.S. Holder immediately after its acquisition, unless a statutorily defined de minimis exception applies. Gain recognized by the U.S. Holder with respect to a Note acquired with market discount generally will be subject to tax as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount accrued during the period the Note was held by such U.S. Holder, unless the U.S. Holder previously elected to include market discount in income as it accrued for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Market discount will be treated as having accrued on a ratable basis unless the U.S. Holder elected to accrue market discount using a constant-yield method.

Sale of Notes Pursuant to the Offer. A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain recognized on a sale of the Notes pursuant to the Offer unless:

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point above generally will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the net gain derived from the sale in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder, and if such Holder is a foreign corporation, it may also be required to pay an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate if so specified by an applicable income tax treaty). A Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses, even though the Non-U.S. Holder is not considered a resident of the U.S.

Any amount received by a Non-U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer that is attributable to accrued interest that is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that:

If a Non-U.S. Holder does not qualify for an exemption from withholding tax on accrued interest under the preceding paragraph, payments of interest made to such Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to 30% withholding tax unless such Non-U.S. Holder provides us or our agent with a properly executed (i) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming an exemption from or reduction of the withholding tax under the benefit of a tax treaty between the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder’s country of residence, or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI stating that interest paid on a note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct of the Non-U.S. Holder in a trade or business in the United States.

If accrued interest paid to a Non-U.S. Holder is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and if, under an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a U.S. permanent establishment to which the interest is attributable), then the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that accrued interest in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder. In addition, if the Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, the accrued interest may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or lower applicable treaty rate.

A U.S. Holder whose Notes are tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer may be subject to certain information reporting requirements (unless the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient). In addition, a U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding with respect to the receipt of cash in exchange for a Note unless the U.S. Holder provides us with a correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and certifies that the U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, the TIN is correct (or that the U.S. Holder is awaiting a TIN) and the U.S. Holder is not currently subject to backup withholding. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors as to their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such exemption. Any amount paid as backup withholding would be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the requisite information is timely provided to the IRS.

In general, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to the sale of Notes by a Non-U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder has provided the required documentation that it is not a U.S. person (for example, IRS Form W-8BEN).

A Holder whose Notes are not purchased by us pursuant to the Offer will not incur any U.S. federal income tax liability as a result of the consummation of the Offer.

THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. ALL HOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER.
