Exhibit 99.3
Dear Ramtron Business Partner,
As promised in our June 18 letter, we are contacting you immediately to notify you that Ramtron and Cypress Semiconductor have signed a definitive merger agreement under which Cypress will acquire Ramtron for $3.10 per share.
A copy of the press release we issued this morning accompanies this letter. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the calendar year.
This transaction does not diminish our commitment to provide you with the highest level of service. Until the transaction closes, we intend to continue supporting your sales activities and working together productively to provide customers with the full range of our F-RAM based low-energy and high data integrity solutions. After the transaction closes, we will endeavor to ensure a smooth transition to the Cypress organization.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact your primary Ramtron representative.
Regards,
Eric Balzer
Chief Executive Officer
