Maxim Completes Restatement of Financial Statements
Intends to Re-List Its Common Stock on NASDAQ; Schedules Conference Call for 3:00 P.M. PDT Today
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/30/08 -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MXIM) announced that it has completed the restatement of its financial statements for stock-based compensation and certain other adjustments and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. In the aggregate, the Company recorded additional pre-tax non-cash, stock-based compensation expense totaling $773.5 million during the period from the beginning of fiscal year 1997 through its fiscal third quarter ended March 25, 2006. With these filings, the Company is current in its periodic filings with the SEC. The Company now intends to seek relisting of its shares of Common Stock for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market and anticipates NASDAQ will approve the Company's application to relist, with trading tentatively scheduled to commence October 8, 2008.
In addition to non-cash, stock-based compensation adjustments, certain stock option related and other adjustments were also recorded. As a result, total pre-tax adjustments to income from operations were $838.3 million and after-tax adjustments to net income were $542.1 million for the Company's fiscal year 1997 through the fiscal third quarter 2006.
As previously disclosed, an independent committee of the Board of Directors conducted an investigation into the Company's historical stock option practices with the assistance of independent legal counsel and forensic accountants. Management then reviewed all stock option grants made between July 1, 1994, and June 24, 2006, and determined that the recorded grant dates for most of these options required revised measurement dates for accounting purposes. Adjustments due to stock option modifications were also recorded. Prior to today's filings, the Company's most recent financial statement filing with the SEC was its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 25, 2006.
During the past 18 months, Maxim has implemented several actions to strengthen its corporate governance, including (1) a new set of Corporate Governance Guidelines, (2) formal procedures for the grant of stock options and other equity awards, (3) a more comprehensive Insider Trading Policy, (4) appointment of three new independent Board members, and (5) the establishment of a Nominating and Governance Committee to oversee the development, implementation and maintenance of proper corporate governance principles.
Tunc Doluca, Maxim's Chief Executive Officer, commented "The completion of the restatement project is a significant milestone for Maxim. We can now focus exclusively on growing our business. I am pleased the restatement effort is behind us and I want to thank Alan Hale, our interim Chief Financial Officer, and our entire restatement team for their perseverance and hard work, as well as our shareholders and employees for their patience and commitment during the past couple of years."
