<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Motorola,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule&nbsp;TO, originally filed on
August&nbsp;29, 2003, as amended (the "Schedule&nbsp;TO"), with respect to the offer by the Company to purchase, at the option of the holder (the "Put Option"), the Liquid Yield
Option&#153; Notes due September&nbsp;27, 2013 (Zero Coupon-Subordinated) issued by the Company on September&nbsp;27, 1993 (the "Securities"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Indenture (as defined below), the Company Notice dated August&nbsp;29, 2003 (the "Company Notice"), the Securities and the related offer materials filed as Exhibits to this
Schedule&nbsp;TO (which Company Notice and related offer materials, as amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the "Option Materials"). The Securities were issued pursuant
to an Indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;1, 1993 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Bank One Trust Company,&nbsp;N.A. (as successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago), a
national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America ("Trustee"). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
Schedule&nbsp;TO, as amended, is intended to satisfy the disclosure requirements of Rule&nbsp;13e-4(c)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Item&nbsp;4 of the Schedule&nbsp;TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
holder's option to surrender the Securities for repurchase expired at 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on Monday, September&nbsp;29, 2003. The Company has been advised by the
trustee, Bank One Trust Company,&nbsp;N.A., that Securities with an aggregate principal amount at maturity of approximately $98&nbsp;million were validly tendered and have been repurchased by the
Company. The purchase price for the Securities was $799.52 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for all of the Securities validly tendered was
approximately $78.4&nbsp;million. The Company paid the purchase price with available cash. This leaves approximately $4.4&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of Securities
outstanding, or 1&nbsp;percent of the original issue of $440&nbsp;million of Securities. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company issued a press release on September&nbsp;30, 2003 announcing the results of the offer, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;(a)(5)(B) and incorporated
herein by reference. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SCHAUMBURG, ILL.&#151;September&nbsp;30, 2003</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>&#151;</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>Motorola,&nbsp;Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today
announced the conclusion of its offer to purchase its Liquid Yield Option&#153; Notes due September&nbsp;27, 2013 (Zero Coupon-Subordinated) (the "LYONs"). Pursuant to the indenture under
which the LYONs were issued in September 1993, the holders' option to surrender the LYONs for repurchase that began on August&nbsp;29, 2003 expired at 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on
Monday, September&nbsp;29, 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Motorola
has been advised by the trustee, Bank One Trust Company, N.A., that LYONs with an aggregate principal amount at maturity of approximately $98&nbsp;million were validly
tendered and have been repurchased by Motorola. This leaves an aggregate principal amount at maturity of approximately $4.4&nbsp;million of LYONs outstanding, or 1&nbsp;percent of the original
issue of $440&nbsp;million of aggregate principal amount at maturity of LYONs. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
purchase price for the LYONs was $799.52 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for all of the LYONs validly tendered was approximately
$78.4&nbsp;million. Motorola paid the purchase price with available cash. </FONT></P>
