EXPLANATORY NOTE

Atmel Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2013, to correct a typographical error.
    
The first sentence under “Appointment of Principal Accounting Officer” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as follows: “Hugo De La Torre, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of Atmel Corporation (the “Company”), has been appointed as the Company's Principal Accounting Officer, effective August 23, 2013.”  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no other changes are being made to the Current Report, which continues to speak as of the date set forth therein.

This Amendment should be read in conjunction, and as if filed concurrently, with the Current Report. Except as expressly set forth in this Explanatory Note, this Amendment does not modify or update disclosures contained in the Current Report, and this Amendment, therefore, does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Current Report.
