Explanatory Note
As previously disclosed, on March 1, 2009, Spansion Inc. (the “Company”), Spansion Technology LLC, Spansion LLC, Cerium Laboratories LLC and Spansion International, Inc. (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors continued to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
On April 16, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming and approving the Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Dated April 7, 2010 (As Amended) (including all exhibits thereto, and as modified by the Confirmation Order, the “Plan”). A summary of the material features of the Plan, including the related rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) and financing arrangements, is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 22, 2010.
On May 10, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective. The events described below occurred as a result of the consummation of the Plan.
