FREMONT, Calif., May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lam Research Corporation (Nasdaq: LRCX) today announced that for the period commencing May 15, 2021 to (but not including) May 21, 2021, contingent interest will be paid on the 2.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2041 issued by Novellus (CUSIP NO. 670008AD3) (the “Notes”). The period for which contingent interest will be paid reflects the earlier issuance by Lam Research Corporation, on behalf of its subsidiary Novellus, of a notice of redemption for all of the Notes. The Notes will be redeemed on May 21, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”).

On the Redemption Date, all of the outstanding Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). Accrued and unpaid interest will include regular interest of $0.44 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for the six day period from May 15, 2021 to (but not including) May 21, 2021, plus contingent interest of $1.91 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for the same period. Accordingly, the Redemption Price will be $1,002.35 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

Lam Research Corporation instructed The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the trustee for the Notes, to distribute the notice of redemption to the holders of the Notes. The details concerning the terms and conditions of the redemption are fully described in the notice of redemption and the indenture governing the Notes. This press release is not a notice of redemption. The redemption will be made solely pursuant to the notice of redemption.

The Notes may be converted at any time before the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date by complying with the provisions of the Notes and the indenture governing the Notes. The conversion rate for the Notes is currently 31.8009 shares of Lam Research Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
