              On October 6, 2011, Atmel completed its acquisition of Advanced Digital Design, S.A. ("ADD"). Management has not, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, determined the purchase price allocation for the acquisition. However, the substantial majority of the purchase price is expected to be allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. Additionally, the pro forma impact of the ADD acquisition on 2011 results is not expected to be material.
