Cypress Extends Offer Once More to Acquire Ramtron at $2.68 per Share

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation has extended its tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Ramtron International Corporation for $2.68 per share in cash to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 24, 2012.

The offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 17, 2012. Cypress’s offer represents a 48% premium over Ramtron’s closing price of $1.81 per share on June 11, 2012, the day before Cypress publicly disclosed its offer for Ramtron.

Except for the extension of the expiration date, all other terms and conditions of the offer remain unchanged. The all-cash offer is not conditioned on due diligence or financing.

Cypress continues to believe that its offer represents full and fair value and provides Ramtron’s stockholders with immediate liquidity at a substantial premium in a very volatile market.

Greenhill & Co., LLC is acting as financial advisor to Cypress and dealer manager for the offer, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, is acting as legal counsel.
