TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01 Other Items.
On May 6, 2011, Lam Research Corporation (the Company) issued a press release announcing the pricing of its private offering of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible
senior notes, an increase from the $700 million in aggregate principal amount previously announced. The notes will be issued in two tranches of $375 million each (an increase from $350 million each) due in May 2016 (the 2016 Notes) and
May 2018 (the 2018 Notes, and together with the 2016 Notes, the Notes), respectively, and will be sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes will be
senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2016 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.50% per year, and the 2018 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per year, in each case, payable semi-annually. The Notes will each be
convertible into cash and shares, if any, of the Companys common stock. The conversion rate for each of the 2016 Notes and the 2018 Notes will initially be 15.8687 shares per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to an initial
conversion price of approximately $63.02 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the $47.56 per share closing price of the Companys common stock on May 5, 2011.
The Notes will be convertible prior to February 15, 2016 in the case of the 2016 Notes and prior to February 15, 2018 in the case of the 2018 Notes, only upon the occurrence of certain circumstances, and will be convertible thereafter
regardless of these circumstances. Upon conversion of the Notes, holders will receive cash up to the principal amount of each Note converted, and any excess conversion value above the principal amount of the Note will be delivered in shares of the
Companys common stock. The Company has granted to the initial purchasers the right to purchase an additional $75 million (an increase from $50 million) in aggregate principal amount of each tranche to cover over-allotments.
The sale of the Notes is expected to close on May 11, 2011, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $735,500,000, after deducting the initial purchasers discounts
and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the
offering to repurchase approximately 1,000,000 shares of its common stock from purchasers of Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers. The price of the common stock repurchased in such transactions
will be $47.56 per share, the closing price of the Companys common stock on May 5, 2011. This activity could affect the market price of the Companys common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes, and
could result in a higher effective conversion price for the Notes. In addition, following this offering the Company may from time to time repurchase additional shares of common stock pursuant to its stock repurchase program. Any future repurchases
could affect the market price of the Companys common stock or the Notes.
2
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note
hedge and warrant transactions with the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions (taking into account the proceeds to it
from the sale of the warrants); the resulting net cost of these transaction to the Company will be approximately $39,412,500. If the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option with respect to a series of Notes, the Company expects to
sell additional warrants and use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes, together with the proceeds from the additional warrants, to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions.
The balance of the net proceeds of the offering is intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital
expenditures. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire other businesses, products or technologies, or to repurchase shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program. The Company does not have agreements or
commitments for any specific acquisition at this time.
The following table shows the Companys cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities, and capitalization as of March 27, 2011 on an actual basis and as adjusted to give effect to the offering of the Notes and of approximately $735,500,000 of net proceeds of such offering.
This table should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
the Companys consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, appearing in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 27, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein.
