November 26, 2013, Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. ("Mindspeed") sent a notice to employees of Mindspeed required by Section 101(i)(1) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (the "401(k)
Notice"), informing them that transactions involving Mindspeed common stock in the Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Retirement Plan") will not be permitted for those participants in the Retirement Plan who
direct Fidelity to tender their shares in the tender offer commenced by M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. ("MACOM") on November 19, 2013 (the "Tender Offer") (such suspension, the "Tender Offer Blackout
Period"). The 401(k) Notice provides that the Tender Offer Blackout Period is expected to commence on December 12, 2013 at 4:00 p.m., New York City time and is expected to end during the week of December 23, 2013. The Tender Offer
Blackout Period is necessary for the process of exchanging shares of Mindspeed common stock for cash as part of the Tender Offer and transferring such funds into the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Fund. Subsequently, the assets in the Fidelity
Retirement Money Market Fund will be invested in the Retirement Plan's Qualified Default Investment Alternatives, which is the T. Rowe Price Life Cycle Fund based upon the target-date retirement fund that is closest to the participant's
expected retirement age.
A copy of the 401(k) Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
