  Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
           ------------------------------------
  
  On September 30, 1998, Micron Technology, Inc. (the "Company" or "Micron")
  completed its acquisition (the "Acquisition") of substantially all of the memory
  operations of Texas Instruments, Inc. ("TI") pursuant to an Acquisition
  Agreement, dated as of June 18, 1998, as amended (the "Agreement"). As
  consideration in the Acquisition, TI received approximately 28.9 million shares
  of Micron Common Stock, $740 million principal amount of convertible
  subordinated notes (the "Convertible Notes") and $210 million principal amount
  of subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Notes"). In addition, as part of the
  Acquisition, the Company received $550 million in cash and TI and the Company
  entered into a ten-year royalty-free patent cross license, that commences on
  January 1, 1999. The Agreement provides for cash adjustments to ensure that
  current assets minus the sum of current and noncurrent assumed liabilities of
  the acquired operations is $150 million as of September 30, 1998.
  
  The Micron Common Stock and Convertible Notes issued in the transaction have not
  been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are therefore
  subject to certain restrictions on resale.  The Company and TI entered into a
  Securities Rights and Restrictions Agreement as part of the transaction which
  provides TI with certain registration rights and places certain restrictions on
  TI's voting rights and other activities with respect to shares of MTI Common
  Stock.  TI's registration rights begin six months after closing of the
  transaction.  The Convertible Notes and the Subordinated Notes issued in the
  transaction will both bear interest at the rate of 6.5% and have a term of seven
  years.  The Convertible Notes are convertible into approximately 12.3 million
  shares of Micron Common Stock at a conversion price of approximately $60 per
  share.  The Subordinated Notes are subordinated to the Convertible Notes, the
  Company's outstanding 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2004, and
  substantially all the Company's other indebtedness.
  
  The assets acquired by the Company in the transaction include TI's:  wafer
  fabrication operations in Avezzano, Italy; assembly/test operations in
  Singapore; and wafer fabrication facility in Richardson, Texas (which TI closed
  in June 1998).  As part of the Acquisition, Micron also acquired TI's interest
  in two joint ventures:  TECH Semiconductor Singapore ("TECH"), owned by TI,
  Canon, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Singapore (Private) Limited, a subsidiary of
  Hewlett-Packard Company, and EDB Investments Pte. Ltd.; and KTI Semiconductor
  ("KTI") in Japan owned by TI and Kobe Steel, Ltd.  TI had a 29.9% interest in
  TECH and a 25% interest in KTI and had the obligation as well as the right to
  purchase 100% of the production meeting TI specifications of each joint venture.
  Similar to TI, with respect to TECH and KTI, Micron has an obligation and right
  to purchase 100% of the production meeting Micron specifications of each joint
  venture.
