Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 20, 2010, California Micro Devices Corporation (the “Company” or “California Micro Devices”) issued a press release announcing that on January 19, 2010 it entered into a memorandum of understanding with plaintiffs’ counsel and the other named defendants to settle the following purported class action lawsuits (the “Lawsuits”) that were filed following the announcement of the pending offer (the “Offer”) made by ON Semiconductor Corporation (“ON Semiconductor”) and its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Pac-10 Acquisition Corporation (“Purchaser”), to acquire the Company’s outstanding common stock at $4.70 per share to be followed by a back-end merger: Robert Varrenti v. Robert Dickinson, et al., filed on December 17, 2009 in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County; Annamarie Medeiros et al. v. California Micro Devices Corporation, et al., filed on December 21, 2009 in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware; and Sanjay Israni, et al. v. California Micro Devices, et al., filed on January 4, 2010 in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. The Lawsuits are described in greater detail in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 28, 2009, and amended on January 6, 2010 and January 13, 2010 (as amended, the “Schedule 14D-9”).

Copies of the memorandum of understanding and press release are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 99.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger governing the Offer, the settlement is subject to the approval of ON Semiconductor, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. ON Semiconductor has given its approval to the settlement described by the memorandum of understanding.

Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, the Company, the other named defendants (including the Company’s directors) and the plaintiffs have agreed to settle the Lawsuits, subject to court approval. As part of the settlement, the defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing and deny that the previous disclosures were inadequate but the Company agreed to make available certain additional information to its stockholders in an amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 that the Company is concurrently filing with the SEC. This additional information is also set forth below in Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K. The memorandum of understanding further contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval following notice to members of the proposed settlement class. If finally approved by the court, the settlement will resolve all of the claims that were or could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the action being settled, including all claims relating to the Offer, the merger, the Merger Agreement, the adequacy of the merger consideration, the negotiations preceding the Merger Agreement, the adequacy and completeness of the disclosures made in connection with the Offer and the merger and any actions of the individual defendants in connection with the Offer, the merger or the Merger Agreement, including any alleged breaches of the fiduciary duties of any of the defendants, or the aiding and abetting thereof. If the court does approve of the settlement after a notice period, then all public stockholders who did not elect to opt out of such settlement will be bound thereby. In addition, in connection with the settlement and as provided in the memorandum of understanding, and subject to approval by the court, the Company or its insurer will pay to plaintiffs’ counsel for their fees and expenses an amount not to exceed $495,000. This payment will not affect the amount of consideration to be paid to stockholders of the Company in connection with the Offer and the subsequent merger. Furthermore, any payment is also conditioned on the Offer being consummated so the Company’s stockholders will not indirectly bear such payment.

The Company and the other defendants maintain that the lawsuits are completely without merit. Nevertheless, in order to avoid costly litigation and eliminate the risk of any delay to the closing of the Offer and subsequent merger, and because the only effect of the settlement on the stockholders is to provide additional disclosure, the defendants have agreed to the settlement contemplated in the memorandum of understanding.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The disclosure under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. Following is the additional information the Company is making available to its stockholders in an amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 that the Company is concurrently filing with the SEC.


1. The following sets forth additional disclosure to be included under the subheading entitled “Background of the Offer” in Item 4(b) of the Schedule 14-D9 (“Background and Reasons for the Recommendation”):

The management of the Company primarily involved in the discussions and negotiations with third parties described in this section were Mr. Robert V. Dickinson, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Kevin J. Berry, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Kyle Baker, the Company’s Vice President of Marketing. With third parties who expressed significant interest in exploring discussions with the Company and entered into mutual confidential disclosure agreements with the Company, the Company also involved, as needed, its other executive staff members, including Ms. Zareen Mohta, the Company’s Manager of Human Resources; Mr. Manuel Mere, the Company’s Vice President, Operations and Information Systems; Mr. Juergen Lutz, the Company’s Vice President, Engineering; and Mr. Daniel Hauck, the Company’s Vice President, Sales.

As previously disclosed, the Company evaluated approximately 15 potential acquisitions and investments between late 2008 and August 2009, with the Company’s management ultimately determining, after consultation in some instances with the California Micro Devices Board, that none of them were in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders to pursue. The reasons the Company’s management determined that the potential acquisitions and investments were not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders were that most of these companies were still early stage and therefore would require substantial investment to become cash flow positive and had substantial technical risk or market risk.

As previously disclosed, on March 12, 2009, the California Micro Devices Board determined that, in light of the depressed stock market and other factors, it was not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to actively pursue negotiations at that time regarding a sale of the Company. The other factors considered by the California Micro Devices Board on March 12, 2009 included its views that:

 

   

the stock market was not functioning efficiently for small-cap, thinly traded stocks such as the Company;

 

   

the Company’s stock price had been trading for the last five months at or below $2.00 per share, which were historically low levels that effectively meant the Company had zero enterprise value;

 

   

as a result the Company was undervalued in the market and a buyer would most likely base a price on premium to market rather than what the California Micro Devices Board believed was the Company’s true value;

 

   

the Company’s business had contracted during the economic slowdown and revenue was just beginning to recover and was expected to improve, which meant that a sale of the Company at that time would have been at or near the bottom of the Company’s historic revenue and expected future revenue; and

 

   

the Company had encouraging customer prospects for revenue recovery and cost saving plans that were expected to enable it to return to positive cash flow and achieve non-GAAP profitability, both of which were expected to increase the Company’s value as they became known.


As previously disclosed, on June 3, 2009, the California Micro Devices Board instructed the Company’s management to further evaluate potential strategic alternatives and to defer hiring an investment banker for purposes of running an auction process while continuing to pursue informal discussions with Company A and ON Semiconductor. The California Micro Devices Board instructed the Company’s management to defer hiring an investment banker at that time primarily because, for the reasons described in the bullet points above, the Company would be in a better position to evaluate a potential sale as well as the appropriateness of an auction process run by an investment bank after additional and expected improved quarterly financial results were available.

As previously disclosed, beginning February 2009 and over the next few months, the Company’s management held meetings and participated in conversations with representatives of Company A. The type of transaction that the Company discussed with Company A was a stock-for-stock merger where the Company would be the surviving corporation and the Company’s current shareholders would own a minority position. No indication of interest was submitted to the Company by Company A.

As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2009, Company A informed the Company’s management that it would not continue discussions regarding a potential strategic transaction with the Company. The reasons discussions ceased with Company A were concerns expressed by Company A to the Company about possible adverse tax consequences and the future profitability of the Company’s protection business. In addition, the Company’s management expressed concerns to Company A that, if such a transaction was completed with Company A, Company A’s recent stock price appreciation would mean that the Company’s shareholders would not receive an appropriate level of ownership in Company A.

As previously disclosed, on July 6, 2009, the California Micro Devices Board held a meeting to discuss ON Semiconductor’s revised expression of interest, the status of other open discussions and the other strategies available to the Company. At this meeting, the California Micro Devices Board was apprised of the status of discussions with Company A, which had ceased since the last California Micro Devices Board update, and the strategies discussed including remaining a stand-alone company, acquiring another company or business, or pursuing a quasi-merger of equals.

As previously disclosed, on July 6, 2009, the California Micro Devices Board advised the Company’s management to respond to ON Semiconductor that the Company would be willing to enter into active negotiations at a purchase price of $5.50 per share without a market check that a more formal process would entail. As of July 6, 2009, the Company was beginning to experience some modest recovery in revenue and improvement in cash flows. However, the California Micro Devices Board continued to believe that the Company was undervalued and that additional financial results were necessary to demonstrate the Company’s prospects for growth and improved valuation. Nevertheless, the California Micro Devices Board believed that a purchase price of $5.50 per share represented a price that would well exceed the Company’s expected stock market valuation and therefore would justify active negotiations with a single party without the need to wait for future financial results or to conduct a formal auction process. The California Micro Devices Board also considered information provided by third parties, including Needham & Company (which had informally provided financial analysis to the Company). Following discussion of the factors described above, the California Micro Devices Board concluded that $4.60 was too low whereas $5.50 would warrant pursuing discussions for the reasons stated.


As previously disclosed, between June 2009 and September 2009, the Company’s management identified and contacted seven additional companies about whether they would be interested in pursuing a strategic transaction with the Company. The seven companies were identified by both the Company’s management and members of the California Micro Devices Board based on their extensive industry knowledge. The Company’s management and members of the California Micro Devices Board believed and determined that these companies would most likely be interested in acquiring the Company because they would see value in the Company’s technology and customer relationships and would derive greater profitability from the Company’s business than the Company could on a standalone basis through consolidation and because of their greater scale. The Company’s management and the California Micro Devices Board determined, based on industry knowledge, that other candidates were significantly less likely due to the absence or materially lesser magnitude of these synergies. The Company had already spoken to four companies, beside ON Semiconductor, one of whom was Company A. The Company’s management and the California Micro Devices Board concluded that only buyers who could realize synergies similar to those described above would be willing to pay a substantial premium above the Company’s current stock price, and therefore determined and believed that it would not be productive or otherwise worthwhile to contact purely “financial” or “non-strategic” buyers such as private equity funds.

As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2009, representatives of one of the Company’s largest stockholders, at the request of the stockholder, made a presentation to the California Micro Devices Board in which it recommended that the California Micro Devices Board attempt to maximize long-term stockholder value by exploring a sale of the Company to a strategic acquirer, indicating its belief that, based on an internal analysis, the Company could be sold at a price range of $4.00 to $5.00 per share. The stockholder who made this presentation was RiverSource Investments, LLC, through its investment advisor Seligman Investment.

As previously disclosed, on November 27, 2009, the California Micro Devices Board held a meeting and evaluated and discussed the non-binding proposals from Company C and ON Semiconductor, the alternatives of retaining an investment banker to perform an auction process, entering into exclusive negotiations with ON Semiconductor and remaining as a stand-alone company by executing a strategy of growth either organically or through acquisition. At this meeting, the California Micro Devices Board discussed and evaluated the likelihood that the Company could grow itself, by obtaining more revenue from existing customers or more customers and by developing new products internally or that it could grow by acquiring technologies or products developed by other companies or by acquiring other companies rapidly enough to be viable on a long term basis.

2. The following sets forth additional disclosure to be included under the subheading entitled “Opinion of California Micro Devices’ Financial Advisor” in Item 4(b) of the Schedule 14-D9 (“Background and Reasons for the Recommendation”):

The California Micro Devices Board considered seven financial advisors in its selection process. Needham & Company was retained by the California Micro Devices Board to act as its financial advisor based on Needham & Company’s experience as a financial advisor in mergers and acquisitions as well as Needham & Company’s familiarity with the Company and the semiconductor industry generally. The cash fee paid to Needham & Company in connection with its rendering of its fairness opinion was $250,000.

Needham & Company’s presentation to the California Micro Devices Board did not include a discounted cash flow analysis because Needham & Company did not have reliable projections for a sufficiently long time period to perform a discounted cash flow analysis that would be useful in valuing California Micro Devices.


As previously disclosed with respect to the selected company analysis performed by Needham & Company, Needham & Company evaluated the ratios of enterprise value as a multiple of projected calendar year 2010 EBITDA of the Company relative to the range of comparable ratios for the selected companies. In evaluating these ratios, Needham & Company was aware that the Company’s management projected sequential quarterly growth in EBITDA during calendar year 2010, as set forth in the section “Projected Financial Information” beginning on page 32 of the Schedule 14D-9 (which information is included below as well). In addition, the multiples derived by Needham & Company in the selected companies analysis were based on observed prices in the trading markets and did not include a control premium.

With respect to the selected company analysis performed by Needham & Company, the following table sets forth information concerning the following additional multiples for the selected companies and the Company at the Offer Price:

 

   

enterprise value as a multiple of latest twelve months EBITDA;

 

   

enterprise value as a multiple of projected calendar year 2009 EBITDA;

For purposes of the selected company, selected transactions and premiums paid analyses performed by Needham & Company, there was no identical company, transaction or business that was identical to either California Micro Devices or the Transaction. Accordingly, the evaluation of the results of these analyses was not entirely a matter of mathematical comparison, but rather involved complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in the financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the selected companies or selected transactions or the Company or Transaction to which they were being compared.


        3. The following sets forth additional disclosure to be included under the subheading entitled “Projected Financial Information” in Item 8 of the Schedule 14-D9 (“Additional Information”):

        The Company’s senior management does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future performance or earnings beyond the current fiscal quarter and is especially wary of making projections for extended periods due to the significant unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, the Company provided certain financial forecasts prepared by senior management to ON Semiconductor, Purchaser, and the California Micro Devices Board in connection with their consideration of the Offer and the Merger and to Needham & Company in connection with its analysis described under “Opinion of California Micro Devices’ Financial Advisor.” We are including below additional projections, which were provided to ON Semiconductor, Purchaser, the California Micro Devices Board and in certain cases to Needham & Company, to provide our stockholders access to this information. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that ON Semiconductor, Purchaser, the California Micro Devices Board, Needham & Company or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be a reliable prediction of future results or to be material as to the decision by stockholders to accept the Offer and tender their Shares.

The projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, including the continuation of the general economic recovery throughout most of the world during 2010, as well as matters specific to the Company’s business, including the success of the products of the Company’s customers in which the Company’s devices are incorporated, its access to sufficient wafer, assembly and test capacity, and its ability to achieve projected product costs and maintain spending at projected levels. Many of these matters are beyond the Company’s control and the continuing turmoil in general economic conditions and the uncertain level of future consumer spending, particularly in the United States and Chinese markets for mobile phones and the world-wide market for digital consumer electronic products such as set top boxes and digital TVs, create significant uncertainty around the projections. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected.

Since the projections cover multiple fiscal quarters, and since the Company does not typically receive long-term commitments or long-term forecasts from its customers, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive quarter. The financial projections were prepared solely for internal use, and for the use of ON Semiconductor, the California Micro Devices Board and their respective advisors in connection with the potential transaction and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with generally accepted accounting principles, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The projections included herein were prepared by the Company’s management. Neither the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. Furthermore, the financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared.

The Company has made publicly available its actual results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and its updated revenue and profit estimates for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. You should review the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K dated October 29, 2009 and January 11, 2010, to obtain this information. See “Additional Information.” Readers of this solicitation/recommendation statement are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the projections set forth below. No one has made or makes any representation to any stockholder regarding the information included in these projections.

The inclusion of projections herein should not be regarded as an indication that such projections will be an accurate prediction of future events, and they should not be relied on as such. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update, or otherwise revise the material projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions are shown to be in error.


Projected Net Operating Loss: On December 7, 2009, the Company’s management provided ON Semiconductor financial information that estimated a projected net operating loss carryforward of approximately $59 million as of March 31, 2010.

Projected Depreciation: On December 7, 2009, the Company’s management provided ON Semiconductor and Needham & Company the following projected financial information regarding estimated depreciation, which information assumed that no fixed asset purchases would occur during the periods indicated:

EXHIBIT 10.1

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

WHEREAS, on December 14, 2009, California Micro Devices Corporation (“CAMD” or the “Company”) and ON Semiconductor Corporation (“ONNN”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which CAMD would be acquired by ONNN in a cash transaction by means of an all-cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and second-step merger valued at approximately $108 million (together, the “Proposed Transaction”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, ONNN has commenced the Tender Offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of CAMD’s common stock for $4.70 per share in cash. The closing of the Tender Offer is subject to customary conditions, including the tender of a number of shares that constitutes at least a majority of CAMD’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. The Tender Offer commenced during the week of December 28, 2009, and will run for and expire after 20 business days assuming at least a majority of CAMD’s shares (determined on a fully diluted basis) are tendered to ONNN and the other closing conditions have been satisfied or waived. The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire on January 26, 2010. The Merger Agreement also provides that the parties effect, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, a merger following the completion of the Tender Offer, which will result in all shares of CAMD common stock being converted into the right to receive the same $4.70 per share in cash paid in the Tender Offer, and in CAMD becoming an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ONNN. By virtue of the “top-up option” granted by CAMD to ONNN in the Merger Agreement, no stockholder meeting will be needed unless fewer than approximately 80% of CAMD outstanding shares are tendered in the Tender Offer;

WHEREAS, Pac-10 commenced the Tender Offer on December 28, 2009. On the same day, Pac-10 and CAMD, respectively, filed a Schedule TO and Schedule 14D-9, setting forth, among other things, the terms of the Tender Offer;

WHEREAS, on December 30, 2009, the plaintiff in the California Action amended the Varrenti complaint to attack the disclosures in the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9;

WHEREAS, on January 4, 2010, a third action, Israni v. California Micro Devices Corporation et al., (Docket No. 5181-VCS) was filed in the Delaware Court (the “Israni Action, and collectively with the Medeiros Action the “Delaware Action”). The Israni Action challenged, among other things, the Proposed Transaction as a breach of the Individual Defendants’ fiduciary duties, in addition to the disclosures asserted in the Schedule 14D-9 and the Schedule TO;

WHEREAS, on January 7, 2010, plaintiff Medeiros amended her complaint to add claims challenging the disclosures asserted in the Schedule 14D-9 and the Schedule TO;

WHEREAS, counsel for the Plaintiffs have reviewed the Schedule 14D-9;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ entry into this Memorandum is not an admission as to the lack of any merit of any of the claims asserted in the Actions;

 

4


WHEREAS, all parties recognize the time and expense that would be incurred by further litigation of the. Actions and the uncertainties inherent in such litigation;

1. Supplemental Disclosure. Counsel for the Plaintiffs (alternatively referred to herein as “Plaintiffs’ Counsel”) and counsel for the CAMD Defendants have conferred on certain disclosures supplemental to those contained in the Schedule 14D-9, and, as requested by the Plaintiffs and as agreed upon by the CAMD Defendants and the Plaintiffs, CAMD will file electronically with the SEC the Supplemental Disclosure substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

2. Benefits A Result of the Settlement. Defendants agree that the pendency of the Actions and the efforts of Plaintiffs and their counsel were the sole cause of the inclusion and dissemination of the Supplemental Disclosure.

3. Confirmatory Discovery. Defendants have provided to Plaintiffs’ counsel reasonable confirmatory discovery as agreed by the parties, including additional depositions, to confirm the fairness and reasonableness of the Settlement.

4. Stipulation of Settlement; Cooperation. The parties to the Actions and their respective counsel agree to cooperate fully and to use their best efforts to effectuate the Settlement, and the parties shall negotiate and execute an appropriate Stipulation of Settlement (the “Stipulation”), to be filed in the California Action, which shall: (i) upon Final Approval of the Settlement (as defined herein) resolve and provide for the dismissal with prejudice and without costs to any party, except as set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7 herein, of all claims asserted or that could have been asserted in the California Action (which the parties agree includes, without limitation, any and all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action) and all other claims (as described hereinafter), if any, arising out of or relating, in whole or in part, to the Proposed Transaction; (ii) provide for a stay of all proceedings in the Delaware Action pending Final Approval of the Settlement, at which time the Stipulation shall provide for the filing in Delaware of a joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice and without costs to any party, except as set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7 herein, of all claims asserted or that could have been asserted in the Delaware Action and all other claims (as described hereinafter), if any, arising out of or relating, in whole or in part, to the Proposed Transaction or any act or omission in connection with the Proposed Transaction; and (iii) provide for the preparation and filing of such other documentation as may be necessary to obtain approval of the Stipulation upon and consistent with the terms set forth in this MOU. As used herein, “Final Approval” of the Settlement means that the Court in the California Action has entered a final order and judgment approving the Settlement, certifying the class alleged in the California Action, dismissing the California Action with prejudice and with each party to bear its own costs (except for the costs set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7), and providing for such release language as is contained herein, and that such final. order and judgment is finally affirmed on appeal or is no longer subject to appeal and the time for any petition for reargument, appeal or review, by

California Micro Devices Settles Shareholder Class Action Lawsuits

MILPITAS, CA – January 20, 2010 — California Micro Devices Corporation (NASDAQ: CAMD) today announced that it and the other named defendants in the three purported class action lawsuits that were filed in connection with the proposed acquisition of California Micro Devices by ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: ONNN) have entered into a memorandum of understanding with counsel for the plaintiffs.

Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, the parties have agreed to settle the lawsuits, subject to court approval. As part of the settlement, the defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing and deny that the disclosures made by the Company in the Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 that was previously mailed by California Micro Devices were inadequate. Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, the Company agreed to make available certain additional information to its stockholders in an amendment to the Schedule 14D-9.

The memorandum of understanding further contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval following notice to members of the proposed settlement class. If finally approved by the court, the settlement will resolve all of the claims that were or could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the action being settled, including all claims relating to the tender offer, the merger, the merger agreement, the adequacy of the merger consideration, the negotiations preceding the merger agreement, the adequacy and completeness of the disclosures made in connection with the offer and the merger and any actions of the individual defendants in connection with the offer, the merger or the merger agreement, including any alleged breaches of the fiduciary duties of any of the defendants, or the aiding and abetting thereof. If the court does approve of the settlement after a notice period, then all public stockholders who did not elect to opt out of such settlement will be bound thereby.

In addition, in connection with the settlement and as provided in the memorandum of understanding, and subject to approval by the court, the Company or its insurer will pay to plaintiffs’ counsel for their fees and expenses an amount not to exceed $495,000. This payment will not affect the amount of consideration to be paid to stockholders of the Company in connection with the offer and the subsequent merger. Furthermore, any payment is also conditioned on the offer being consummated so the Company’s stockholders will not indirectly bear such payment.

The additional information to supplement California Micro Devices’ Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 will also be set forth in a Current Report on Form 8-K that California Micro Devices will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The additional information should be read in conjunction with the Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented to date.
