MAXIM REACHES AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE TO SETTLE CLASS ACTION STOCK OPTION LITIGATION
SUNNYVALE, CA - May 5, 2010 - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) announced today that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding reflecting an agreement in principle to settle all claims asserted against all defendants in the putative class action concerning the Company's stock option accounting practices captioned In re Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. C-08-00832-JW (N.D. Cal.). The agreement in principle provides for the payment of $173 million by the Company. The after-tax cash impact is estimated to be $110 million. The memorandum of understanding contemplates the negotiation and execution of a final settlement agreement, and the settlement is subject to notice to the putative class and final approval by the Court.
The memorandum of understanding was entered into after the Company announced its preliminary results of operations for the three month period ended March 27, 2010 but prior to the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the three month period ended March 27, 2010. As a result, the Company is required under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to reflect the impact of the memorandum of understanding, which is a subsequent event, in its financial statements for the three months ended March 27, 2010. Please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2010.
