On December 13, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) voted to increase the size of the Board from seven directors to eight directors and appointed Mr. Michael Gregoire as a director to the Board to fill the resulting vacancy.

The Board has determined that Mr. Gregoire qualifies as an independent director for purposes of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market as well as applicable rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, Mr. Gregoire was appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance and Audit and Finance committees of the Board.

Mr. Gregoire will receive compensation based on the same policies as the Company’s other non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 21, 2019 with the SEC and in the Company’s Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on October 30, 2019. On December 13, 2019, Mr. Gregoire was granted 4,786 restricted stock units. The grant becomes fully vested on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.
