Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 6, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the following annual cash performance bonuses under the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and its Named Executive Officers (as defined in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 10, 2012), as follows:

 

                                 

Executive Officers

   Annual Cash
Performance Bonuses
 

Devinder Kumar, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

   $ 153,495   

Mark D. Papermaster, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer

   $ 208,450   

Harry A. Wolin, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

   $ 180,025   

On February 7, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the following annual cash performance bonus under the Plan for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer:

 

                                 

Rory P. Read, President and Chief Executive Officer

   $ 568,500   

Pursuant to the Plan, the bonus awards were based on the Company’s performance during two semi-annual performance periods (i.e., January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012 to December 29, 2012) as evaluated against pre-established target levels under the following company-wide financial measures: revenue, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP net income. Notwithstanding the revenue and non-GAAP gross margin financial goals, the payment of any cash performance bonuses under the Plan for 2012 was contingent upon the Company achieving a pre-established minimum level of non-GAAP net income (the “Bonus Threshold”). The Company exceeded the Bonus Threshold for the first semi-annual period but failed to meet the Bonus Threshold for the second semi-annual period. As a result, the executive officers in the tables above did not earn a cash performance bonus under the Plan for the second semi-annual performance period in 2012. These bonus awards will be paid in March 2013.

The Company intends to provide additional information regarding the annual cash performance bonuses in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2013.
