Micron Shareholders' Equity

Capped Calls

Issued and Outstanding Capped Calls: We have entered into a series of capped call transactions intended to reduce the effect of potential dilution upon conversion of our convertible notes which may be settled in shares or cash, at our election. The capped call transactions are considered capital transactions and the related cost was recorded as a charge to additional capital.

The following table presents information related to the issued and outstanding capped calls as of February 27, 2014.



Capped Calls				Strike Price⁽¹⁾		Cap Price Range				Common Shares Covered	Value at Expiration⁽²⁾
Capped Calls	Expiration Dates			Strike Price⁽¹⁾		Low		High		Common Shares Covered	Minimum		Maximum

⁽¹⁾	Initial strike prices are subject to certain adjustments.

⁽²⁾

Settlement in cash on the respective expiration dates would result in us receiving an amount ranging from zero, if the market price per share of our common stock is at or below the respective low strike price, to the respective maximum amount if the market price per share of our common stock is at or above the respective high cap price. If share settlement were elected, the number of shares repurchased would be determined by the value of the capped calls at the time of settlement divided by the share price on the settlement date. Settlement of the capped calls prior to the expiration dates may be for an amount less than the maximum value at expiration.

IMFT

Since its inception in 2006 through February 27, 2014, we have owned 51% of IMFT, a venture between us and Intel to manufacture NAND Flash memory products and certain emerging memory technologies, for the exclusive use of the members. IMFT is governed by a Board of Managers and the number of managers appointed by each member to the board varies based on the members' respective ownership interests, which is based on cumulative contributions to IMFT. The IMFT joint venture agreement extends through 2024 and includes certain buy-sell rights, commencing in 2015, pursuant to which Intel may elect to sell to us, or we may elect to purchase from Intel, Intel's interest in IMFT. If Intel elects to sell to us, we would set the closing date of the transaction within two years following such election and could elect to receive financing of the purchase price from Intel for one to two years from the closing date.

IMFT manufactures NAND Flash memory products using designs and technology we develop with Intel. We generally share with Intel the cost of product design, other NAND Flash R&D costs and R&D cost of certain emerging memory technologies. Our R&D expenses were reduced by reimbursements from Intel of $35 million and $64 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, and $34 million and $66 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively.

We sell a portion of our products to Intel through our IMFT joint venture at long-term negotiated prices approximating cost. Sales of NAND Flash products to Intel under this arrangement were $104 million and $205 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, and $91 million and $190 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Receivables from Intel for IMFT sales of NAND Flash products as of February 27, 2014 and August 29, 2013, were $62 million and $68 million, respectively.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities of IMFT included in our consolidated balance sheets, excluding intercompany balances:

MP Mask

In 2006, we formed a joint venture with Photronics to produce photomasks for leading-edge and advanced next generation semiconductors. At inception and through February 27, 2014, we owned 50.01% and Photronics owned 49.99% of MP Mask. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, we received $72 million in 2006 in exchange for entering into a license agreement with Photronics, which is being recognized over the term of the 10-year agreement. Deferred income and other noncurrent liabilities included an aggregate of $16 million and $19 million as of February 27, 2014 and August 29, 2013, respectively, related to this agreement. We purchase a substantial majority of the reticles produced by MP Mask pursuant to a supply arrangement.

Total MP Mask assets and liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheets were as follows:



As of	February 27, 2014		August 29, 2013
Current assets	$	37	$	26
Noncurrent assets (primarily property, plant and equipment)	209		182
Current liabilities	40		25

Amounts exclude intercompany balances that were eliminated in our consolidated balance sheets.

Creditors of MP Mask have recourse only to the assets of MP Mask and do not have recourse to any other of our assets.

MMT

As a result of the acquisition of Elpida and MMT on July 31, 2013, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in our consolidated balance sheet included an approximate 11.11% ownership interest in MMT. In the second quarter of 2014, we purchased an additional 9.87% of MMT's outstanding common stock for $136 million. The purchase of substantially all of the shares was financed with a short-term loan from a seller. (See "Debt – Other Notes Payable" note.) As a result of the purchase of MMT shares, noncontrolling interest decreased by $167 million and additional capital increased by $31 million in the second quarter of 2014.
