This Amendment No. 7 (this Amendment No. 7) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2013 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, including that certain Amendment No. 1 filed on November 1, 2013, that certain Amendment No. 2 filed on November 6, 2013 and that certain Amendment No. 3 filed on November 8, 2013, that certain Amendment No. 4 filed on November 12, 2013, that certain Amendment No. 5 filed on November 19, 2013, and that certain Amendment No. 6 filed on November 22, 2013, the Schedule TO), by (i) PETT Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (Purchaser) and wholly owned subsidiary of Microsemi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Parent), and (ii) Parent. The Schedule TO relates to the offer (the Offer) by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Company Shares), of Symmetricom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), at a purchase price of $7.18 per Company Share, net to the tendering stockholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 28, 2013 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the Offer to Purchase) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 7 but not defined herein shall have the respective meaning given to such terms in the Schedule TO.
The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase (as amended hereby), including Schedule I thereto, is hereby incorporated by reference in response to Items 1 through 13 of the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
Items 1 through 11.
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of November 25, 2013. Based on information provided by the Depositary, as of the Expiration Date, 32,567,791 Company Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, representing approximately 67.6% of the sum of (i) the then outstanding Company Shares plus (ii) (without duplication) a number equal to the number of Company Shares issuable upon the vesting (including vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the Offer), conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding warrants, options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible or exchangeable into Company Shares, or other rights to acquire or be issued Company Shares, in each case, with an exercise or conversion price below the Per Share Amount. The number of Company Shares tendered into the Offer satisfies the Minimum Condition. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, Purchaser accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Company Shares validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer.
As a result of its acceptance of the Company Shares tendered in the Offer and given that it was determined that Section 251(h) of the DGCL was applicable to the Merger, the Purchaser has sufficient voting power to approve the Merger without the affirmative vote of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Subject to the satisfaction of the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser intend to complete the acquisition of the Company through the Merger as promptly as practicable without a meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the Effective Time of the Merger, each Company Share outstanding (other than Company Shares directly owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, Parent or Purchaser, which will be canceled and shall cease to exist, and Company Shares held by stockholders that are entitled to and properly demand appraisal of such Company Shares under the DGCL) will be converted into the right to receive $7.18, net to the selling stockholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. Following the Merger, the Company Shares will no longer be listed on NASDAQ Global Select Market.
On November 26, 2013, Parent issued a press release announcing the results and expiration of the Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(H), and the information set forth in the press release is incorporated herein by reference.

Microsemi Successfully Completes Symmetricom Tender Offer
ALISO VIEJO, Calif .Nov. 26, 2013Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC), Microsemi Corporation (Microsemi) a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, PETT Acquisition Corp. successfully completed its previously announced tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Symmetricom, Inc. (Symmetricom) (Nasdaq:SYMM) for $7.18 per share in cash. The tender offer expired at 12:00 midnight New York City time at the end of November 25, 2013. Microsemi expects to complete the acquisition of Symmetricom later today through a merger under Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Based on information provided by American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer, as of the expiration of the tender offer, approximately 32,567,791 million shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer, representing approximately 67.6% of the sum of (i) Symmetricoms then outstanding shares plus (ii) (without duplication) a number equal to the number of Symmetricom shares issuable upon the vesting (including vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the tender offer), conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding warrants, options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible or exchangeable into Symmetricom shares, or other rights to acquire or be issued Symmetricom shares, in each case, with an exercise or conversion price below $7.18 per share. Accordingly, the condition to the tender offer that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn at least a majority of the Symmetricom shares described above, has been satisfied. As a result of the satisfaction of the foregoing condition and each of the other conditions to the tender offer, PETT Acquisition Corp. has accepted for payment and will promptly pay for all validly tendered shares.
As a result of the merger planned to be effected later today, all remaining Symmetricom shares (other than shares directly owned by Symmetricom and its subsidiaries, Microsemi or PETT Acquisition Corp. and shares held by stockholders that are entitled to and properly demand appraisal of such shares under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $7.18 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, the same price that was paid in the tender offer. Following completion of the merger, Symmetricom shares will cease to be traded on NASDAQ.

The reader is cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are not a guarantee of future performance and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of Microsemi. The forward-looking statements in this release address a variety of subjects including, for example, the expected date of closing of the acquisition, the potential benefits of the merger, including the potentially accretive and synergistic benefits, Microsemis revenue and earnings guidance, and any other statements of belief or about the Microsemis plans, beliefs or expectations. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: the risk that Symmetricoms business will not be successfully integrated with Microsemis business or complement its products, including product mix and acceptance, gross margins and operational and other cost synergies; costs associated with the merger, tender offer and financing; the unsuccessful completion of the tender offer; matters arising in connection with the parties efforts to comply with and satisfy applicable regulatory approvals and closing conditions relating to the transaction; Microsemis reliance on government contracts for a significant portion of its sales, including impacts of any termination or renegotiation of U.S. government contracts and the effects of past or future government shutdowns; increased competition and technological changes in the industries in which Microsemi and Symmetricom compete; Microsemis failure to continue to move up the value chain in its customer offerings; continued negative or worsening worldwide economic conditions or market instability; downturns in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry; intense competition in the semiconductor industry and resultant downward price pressure; inability to develop new technologies and products to satisfy changes in customer demand or the development by the companys competitors of products that decrease the demand for Microsemis products; unfavorable or declining conditions in end markets; inability of Microsemis compound semiconductor products to compete successfully with silicon-based products; production delays related to new compound semiconductors; variability of the companys manufacturing yields; the concentration of the factories that service the semiconductor industry; delays in beginning production, implementing production techniques, resolving problems associated with technical equipment malfunctions, or issues related to government or customer qualification of facilities; potential effects of system outages; the effect of events such as natural disasters and related disruptions on our operations; inability by Microsemi to fulfill customer demand and resulting loss of customers; variations in customer order preferences; difficulties foreseeing future demand; rises in inventory levels and inventory obsolescence; potential non-realization of expected orders or non-realization of backlog; failure to make sales indicated by the companys book-to-bill ratio; risks related to the companys international operations and sales, including availability of transportation services, political instability and currency fluctuations; increases in the costs of credit and the availability of credit or additional capital only under more restrictive conditions or not at all; unanticipated changes in Microsemis tax provisions, results of
tax examinations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; principal, liquidity and counterparty risks related to Microsemis holdings in securities; environmental or other regulatory matters or litigation, or any matters involving contingent liabilities or other claims; the uncertainty of litigation, the costs and expenses of litigation, the potential material adverse effect litigation could have on Microsemis business and results of operations if an adverse determination in litigation is made, and the time and attention required of management to attend to litigation; uncertainty as to the future profitability of acquired businesses, and delays in the realization of, or the failure to realize, any accretion from acquisition transactions; any circumstances that adversely impact the end markets of acquired businesses; and difficulties in closing or disposing of operations or assets or transferring work, assets or inventory from one plant to another. In addition to these factors and any other factors mentioned elsewhere in this news release, the reader should refer as well to the factors, uncertainties or risks identified in the companys most recent Form 10-K filed by Microsemi with the SEC. Additional risk factors may be identified from time to time in Microsemis future filings.
