(“Maxim”) has received the requisite number of consents to adopt certain proposed amendments (the “Amendments”) to the indenture governing Maxim’s outstanding 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Maxim Notes”). The results are based on early tenders in the (i) offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all outstanding Maxim Notes for up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by the Company (the “ADI Notes”) and cash and (ii) the related solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to adopt the Amendments to the indenture governing the Maxim Notes, commenced by ADI on September 8, 2022.

The Amendments will become operative only upon the settlement of the Exchange Offer, which is expected to occur promptly after the Expiration Date (as defined below).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2022 (the “Early Tender Date”), the principal amounts of Maxim Notes set forth in the table below had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (and consents thereby validly given and not validly withdrawn). For each $1,000 principal amount of Maxim Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date, eligible holders of Maxim Notes will be eligible to receive $970 principal amount of ADI Notes and $1.00 in cash (the “Exchange Consideration”), as well as an early tender premium of $30 principal amount of ADI Notes (the “Early Tender Premium”, and together with the Exchange Consideration, the “Total Consideration”).

The Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2022, unless extended or terminated (the “Expiration Date”).

ADI has agreed to file a registration statement pursuant to which it will offer to exchange the ADI Notes for substantially similar new notes that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and, in certain circumstances, register the resale of the ADI Notes.
