The foregoing amounts of cash and stock are subject to adjustment during a <span style="white-space:nowrap">one-day</span> measurement period ending February&#160;16, 2022. Accordingly, such approximate amounts are estimates based on an assumed price per share of Common Stock equal to the closing price per share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on February&#160;15, 2022. The actual amounts of cash paid and shares of Common Stock issued could vary depending on changes in the trading price of the Common Stock during the measurement period. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Exchange Transactions are expected to close on or about February&#160;17, 2022. Following the closing of the Exchange Transactions, approximately $128.1&#160;million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes will remain outstanding with terms unchanged. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Microchip will not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions. In exchange for delivering and paying, as applicable, the shares of Microchip&#8217;s Common Stock and cash pursuant to the Exchange Transactions, Microchip will receive and cancel the exchanged 2027 Notes. Microchip will fund the cash portion of the Exchange Transactions with borrowings under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December&#160;16, 2021, among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as amended, and with existing cash and cash equivalents. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Exchange Transactions are being conducted as a private placement and the shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Exchange Transactions will be issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section&#160;4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and were offered only to persons believed to be either (i)&#160;an institutional &#8220;accredited investor&#8221; within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)&#160;of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii)&#160;a &#8220;qualified institutional buyer&#8221; within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company is relying on this exemption from registration based on the representations made by the holders of the 2027 Notes participating in the Exchange Transactions. </p>
