Determination of Cash Bonuses for Fiscal Year 2006

On June 18, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Atmel Corporation (the “Company”) approved cash bonus awards for the Company’s executive officers pursuant to the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) for fiscal year 2006. Other compensation for fiscal year 2006 was previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 17 of the definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2007 (the “Proxy Statement”). Because the Company had not issued its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2006 at the time the Proxy Statement was filed, cash bonuses for executive officers under the Bonus Plan had not yet been determined and were not included in the Proxy Statement. Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the cash bonus awards for the named executive officers for fiscal year 2006 are set forth below. An updated Summary Compensation Table reflecting the cash bonus awards is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
