PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (the “Registrant”) experienced a disruption in its normal closing process for the quarter ended September 27, 2013 as a result of the Registrant’s negotiation and announcement of a definitive merger agreement with M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM”) and Micro Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MACOM, and the tender offer associated therewith; the Registrant’s filing of a recommendation/solicitation statement and associated amendments on Schedule 14d-9 with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and the Registrant’s previously announced negotiations with respect to a divestiture of its wireless infrastructure business unit. Active negotiations and financial diligence relating to the transaction with MACOM and the proposed divestiture began in September 2013, as the Registrant’s fiscal year was ending, and continued into the closing period. Substantial additional activity relating to these transactions continued through the deadline for Mindspeed’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”). The quantity and complexity of matters relating to these transactions required substantial management time and attention and resulted in a delay in Mindspeed’s preparation of its financial statements and other documentation relating to the Annual Report. Accordingly, the Registrant is unable to file the Annual Report by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant expects to file the Annual Report within the extension period of fifteen calendar days provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Registrant does not expect any adjustments to its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 27, 2013, as previously announced on November 5, 2013, or any other prior period, as a result of the foregoing.
