   Pending Acquisition of California Micro Devices by ON Semiconductor

Dear Supplier,

Today ON Semiconductor announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement providing for the acquisition of California Micro Devices (CMD). Under the terms of the agreement, ON Semiconductor will make a cash tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CMD. This transaction has been approved by the board of directors. We are excited about the potential benefits of this announcement and expect the transaction to close as early as the first quarter of 2010.

The acquisition of CMD supports our ongoing commitment to becoming a technologically broader and operationally stronger company to better support our customers overall product, design and efficiency needs.

The acquisition of California Micro Devices will significantly strengthen our offering of application specific integrated passive (ASIP) devices to protect products in the wireless, computing and consumer electronics end-markets. In addition, CMD’s expertise in protection solutions for the high brightness LED (HBLED) market, as well as their strengths in LC based EMI (electromagnetic interference) filtering and low capacitance ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, complement our existing portfolio of protection and lighting solutions. With technology and process development expertise in ESD and EMI protection, CMD is highly differentiated in the marketplace as demonstrated by their strong relationships with leading global customers across multiple large and growing applications. Combined with ON Semiconductor's global sales channel footprint and effective channels of distribution, we expect to be able to support a broader and deeper penetration of CMD’s overall product portfolio with market-leading customers. This should enable us to accelerate revenue growth for CMD’s products and increase market share. We also believe CMD’s products and operations will benefit from ON Semiconductor’s world-class manufacturing capabilities.

Operationally, it will be business as usual for suppliers of both companies. We will communicate any potential changes to you at the earliest possible time, but ask that you continue to do business using your existing contacts and processes for California Micro Devices products.

We remain committed to providing you with outstanding customer service, advanced technology solutions, industry-leading supply chain management, and world-class quality and manufacturing. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local procurement contact.

 

Best Regards,
