by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
current expectations include, without limitation, the following:
Intel Corporation’s dominance of the microprocessor market and its
aggressive business practices may limit AMD’s ability to compete
effectively; AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its
products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in
sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD’s
business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve
expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products could negatively
impact its financial results; the success of AMD’s business is
dependent upon its ability to introduce products on a timely basis
with features and performance levels that provide value to its
customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry
transitions; if AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and
operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may face a
cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments
in research and development or other strategic investments; the
loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect
on AMD; AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products
is dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic
uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating
results; AMD’s operations are subject to political, legal and
economic risks and natural disasters which could have a material
adverse effect on AMD; government actions and regulations such as
export administration regulations, tariffs and trade protection
measures, may limit AMD’s ability to export its products to certain
customers; AMD products may be subject to security vulnerabilities
that could have a material adverse effect on AMD; IT outages, data
loss, data breaches and cyber-attacks could compromise AMD’s

are highly competitive; the conversion of the 2.125% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest of its
existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of its
common stock; the demand for AMD’s products depends in part on the
market conditions in the industries into which they are sold.
Fluctuations in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in
any of these industries could have a material adverse effect on its
results of operations; AMD’s ability to design and introduce new
products in a timely manner is dependent upon third-party
intellectual property; AMD depends on third-party companies for the
design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software and other
computer platform components to support its business; if AMD loses
Microsoft Corporation’s support for its products or other software
vendors do not design and develop software to run on AMD’s
products, its ability to sell its products could be materially
adversely affected; and AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors
and AIB partners subjects it to certain risks. Investors are
urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not
limited to AMD's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 28, 2019.
