INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement

On April 25, 2017, Microsemi Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Microsemi") entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 3") to its existing Credit Agreement dated as of January 15, 2016, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2016, and that certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2017, and as supplemented by that certain Increase Term Joinder to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2016, and that certain Increase Term Joinder No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of January 25, 2017 (as amended and supplemented, the "Existing Credit Agreement" and as amended by Amendment No. 3, the "Credit Agreement"), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and the lenders party thereto.

Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, certain lenders provided senior secured first lien credit facilities, consisting of term loan facilities and a revolving credit facility. Amendment No. 3 provides for, among other things (i) new pricing terms for any revolving loans that may be outstanding from time to time under the Existing Credit Agreement (after giving effect to the amendment, the "Repriced Revolving Loans") and (ii) new pricing terms for the $778,138,750 in aggregate principal amount of term A loans (the "Existing Term A Loans") outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 3 (after giving effect to the amendment, the "Repriced Term A Loans" and together with the Repriced Revolving Loans, the "Repriced Loans"), which Repriced Term A Loans replace the Existing Term A Loans. Immediately prior to and after giving effect to Amendment No. 3, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, as applicable.

The Repriced Loans mature January 15, 2021. The Repriced Loans bear interest at Microsemi’s option at Base Rate or LIBOR, plus a margin. The margin for Base Rate Term A Loans is 0.75% and the margin for LIBOR Term A Loans is 1.75%. The Repriced Loans are subject to a 0.00% LIBOR floor.

Except as modified by Amendment No. 3 as described above, the terms of the Repriced Term A Loans are the same as the terms of the Existing Term A Loans and the terms of any Repriced Revolving Loans will be the same as any revolving loans that would have been outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 3.

Certain of the lenders party to the Credit Agreement, as well as certain of their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting and other financial advisory services for Microsemi, for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.

The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 3 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of Amendment No. 3, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
