  Item 5.    OTHER EVENTS.
  
  On December 16, 1999, at a special meeting of the stockholders of Xilinx, Inc.
  (the "Company"), the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment of the
  Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized
  shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share, from
  300,000,000 to 500,000,000.  This amendment was necessary in order to

  directors of the Company previously had approved the stock split, subject to
  stockholder approval of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation.  In
  connection with the stock split, stockholders of record as of December 17, 1999
  will receive one additional common share for every share held, to be distributed
  on December 27, 1999.  In addition, the number of shares of common stock
  reserved for issuance or subject to outstanding options granted under the
  Company's 1997 Stock Plan, 1990 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan and 1988
  Stock Option Plan will increase by 100%.  The following registration statements
  will cover the increase in the number of shares as a result of the stock split:
  333-62897; 333-44233; and 333-12339.  The Company hereby incorporates by
