Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     LSI Logic Corporation (“LSI”), as guarantor, has entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 2 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) by and among Agere Systems Inc. (“Agere”), LSI and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), dated as of April 1, 2007, supplementing the Indenture by and between Agere and the Trustee, dated as of June 19, 2002, as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of May 27, 2005 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, from and after the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) on April 2, 2007, LSI fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment and all other monetary obligations of Agere under the Indenture, including all payments of principal and interest.
     Agere has outstanding $362 million of 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2009 issued under the Indenture. Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 6.5% per annum and is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes may be redeemed by Agere in whole or in part at any time on or after June 20, 2007. The Indenture contains customary events of default including payment defaults, covenant defaults and certain bankruptcy defaults. The occurrence of an event of default could result in an acceleration of LSI’s obligations under the Supplemental Indenture.
     In addition, under the Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture, following the Merger, the right to convert the notes into Agere common stock was changed into the right to convert such notes into (i) LSI common stock at a conversion price of $15.3125 per share, and (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise receivable pursuant to clause (i), subject to adjustment for certain events, at any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased.
     This description of the terms of the Supplemental Indenture is a summary only and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     On April 2, 2007, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 3, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among LSI, Agere and Atlas Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of LSI (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Agere with Agere surviving the merger (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each share of Agere common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned by LSI, Merger Sub or Agere, or any wholly owned subsidiary of any of them) was converted into the right to receive 2.16 shares of LSI common stock. Approximately 368 million shares of LSI common stock will be issued to former Agere stockholders in connection with the Merger.
     As a result of the Merger, LSI has acquired the business and assets of Agere. Agere was a leading provider of integrated circuit solutions for a variety of communications and computing applications. Some of its solutions included related software and reference designs. Agere’s customers included manufacturers of hard disk drives, mobile phones, advanced communications and networking equipment and personal computers. Agere also generated revenue from the licensing of intellectual property.
