During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the company completed the sale of its wafer fabrication facility in Japan to Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (“TowerJazz”). In connection therewith, the company entered into a supply agreement with TowerJazz to manufacture products for the company in the Japan facility for approximately three years. Other operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 included a $54 million gain from the sale. In addition, income tax provision in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 included a charge of $74 million to write down certain tax assets as a result of the transaction.
|
|
In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the company entered into a 10-year patent cross-license agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (“Samsung”). Under the agreement, Samsung agreed to pay the company $275 million, of which the company received $200 million, $40 million and $35 million in the first, second and third quarters, respectively, of fiscal 2011. The license is a life-of-patents license for existing patents and applications, and a 10-year term license for all other patents.
|
|
Other operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 also included $8 million of receipts from the U.S. government in connection with anti-dumping tariffs. Other operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 includes $16 million and $24 million, respectively, of grant income related to the company’s operations in China. Other operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 included $11 million of receipts from the U.S. government in connection with anti-dumping tariffs.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the company acquired Numonyx Holdings B.V. (“Numonyx”), which manufactured and sold primarily NOR Flash and NAND Flash memory products. The total fair value of the consideration paid for Numonyx was $1,112 million and consisted of 137.7 million shares of the company’s common stock issued to the Numonyx shareholders and 4.8 million restricted stock units issued to employees of Numonyx. In connection with the acquisition, the company recorded net assets of $1,549 million. Because the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, the company recognized a gain on the acquisition of $437 million in the third quarter of 2010. In addition, the company recognized a $51 million income tax benefit in connection with the acquisition.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the company entered into separate privately negotiated purchase and exchange agreements under which it repurchased $91 million in principal amount of its 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes”), repurchased $176 million in principal amount of its 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and exchanged $175 million of the Existing 1.875% Notes for $175 million in aggregate principal amount of new 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”).
|
|
The 2027 Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, at the holder’s option, at an initial conversion rate of 91.7431 common shares per $1,000 principal amount. Upon conversion, holders will receive cash up to the principal amount, and any excess value will be delivered, at the company’s election, in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock. Holders of the 2027 Notes have an option to require the company to purchase the notes on June 1, 2017, and in certain other circumstances, at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.
|
|
In connection with the repurchase transactions, the aggregate carrying amount of debt (including unamortized discount and issuance costs) of $232 million was redeemed for $328 million in cash (including fees). As a result of the repurchase transactions and the effect of the exchange, the company recognized a non-operating loss of $111 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
|
|
Other non-operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 included $15 million in connection with the release of the company’s guarantee of certain debt. Other non-operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 included a gain of $56 million recognized in the first quarter in connection with the August 2009 issuance of common shares in a public offering by Inotera Memories, Inc. (“Inotera”) – an investment accounted for by the company under the equity method. As a result of, and at the time of the issuance, the company’s interest in Inotera decreased from 35.5% to 29.8%.

Income tax provision in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 included a charge of $74 million to write down certain tax assets as a result of the TowerJazz transaction. Income tax provision in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included a charge to reduce net deferred tax assets by $19 million in connection with a change in tax rates. Income tax provision in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 included charges aggregating $45 million in connection with the Samsung cross-license agreement. Income taxes in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 included a $51 million benefit recorded in connection with the Numonyx acquisition. Remaining taxes in fiscal 2011 and 2010 primarily reflected taxes on the company’s non-U.S. operations and U.S. alternative minimum tax. The company has a valuation allowance for a substantial portion of its net deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations. Taxes attributable to U.S. operations in fiscal 2011 and 2010 were substantially offset by changes in the valuation allowance.

Ltd., (“TECH”), a consolidated joint venture of the company, for $38 million. Additionally, during the second quarter, the company acquired Canon Inc.’s interest in TECH for $121 million. In connection therewith, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries decreased by $226 million and additional capital increased by $67 million. As a result of these transactions, the company’s ownership interest in TECH increased during the second quarter of 2011 from 87% to 100%.
