Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Form 8-K filed on August 22, 2011 (the “August 22 Form 8-K”) by Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (the “Company”). This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to disclose the frequency that the Company will conduct a say-on-pay vote with respect to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the August 22 Form 8-K.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d) On August 16, 2011, the Company held its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As disclosed in the August 22 Form 8-K, the final results of the advisory vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding the frequency of conducting a say-on-pay vote with respect to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal 5) were as follows:


1 Year	2 Year	3 Year	Abstain
49,340,627	93,818	3,029,464	21,323

In light of the vote of the Company’s stockholders as provided above, the Company has determined to hold future advisory stockholder votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis until the next required stockholder vote on the frequency of such votes is held or until the Company’s board of directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory stockholder votes is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.
