ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On July 20, 2012, Ramtron International Corporation (the “Company”) and ROHM Co., Ltd. (“ROHM”) executed a long-term, multi-year Manufacturing and License Partnering Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for ROHM to manufacture F-RAM semiconductor product wafers for the Company on ROHM’s established manufacturing line, as well as for the Company’s distribution of certain products manufactured by ROHM. Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties also cross-licensed their F-RAM and certain related intellectual property and technology.
In August, 1994, the Company and ROHM entered into a Cooperative Agreement for License Manufacturing of FRAM Product and in September, 1995, a Supplement-1 to that agreement. The current Agreement supersedes the 1994 and 1995 agreements.
A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
