Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Amendment of Certain Option Agreements
On April 6, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Atmel Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment (collectively the “Amendments”) to certain stock option agreements (the “Applicable Option Agreements”) issued pursuant to the Company’s 1996 Stock Plan that were scheduled to expire beginning April 2007. As previously disclosed, while the Company is not current in its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “SEC Blackout”), the Company has suspended the issuance and sale of shares of its common stock upon exercise of stock options pursuant to its registration statements on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Applicable Option Agreements, which may not be exercised during the SEC Blackout, would otherwise expire during the SEC Blackout. The Amendments provide that the term of the Applicable Option Agreements shall be extended such that such agreements will expire upon the later of (i) the expiration of the original exercise period, or (ii) 30 days after the earliest date upon which the option may be exercised without violating applicable securities laws. Bernard Pruniaux and Steve Schumann, who are executive officers of the Company, hold Applicable Option Agreements that have been amended as described above.
