This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) filed by MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM”), a Delaware corporation, and Montana Merger Sub I, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of MACOM, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 21, 2016. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to exchange for each outstanding share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (“AppliedMicro”), a Delaware corporation, (a) $3.25 in cash and (b) 0.1089 shares of MACOM common stock, par value $0.001 per share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of MACOM common stock, in each case without interest (together, the “transaction consideration”) (collectively, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer and the related Letter of Transmittal, and together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer”).

MACOM filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 on December 21, 2016, relating to the offer and sale of shares of MACOM common stock to be issued to holders of shares of AppliedMicro common stock validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn (the “Registration Statement”). The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Prospectus/Offer, which is a part of the Registration Statement and filed as Exhibit (a)(4) to the Schedule TO (the “Prospectus/Offer”), and the related Letter of Transmittal, which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information contained in the Prospectus/Offer and the Letter of Transmittal, including any prospectus supplement or other supplement thereto related to the Offer hereafter filed with the SEC by MACOM or the Purchaser, is expressly incorporated into the Schedule TO by reference in response to items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in the Schedule TO.

All information regarding the Offer as set forth in the Schedule TO, including all exhibits and annexes thereto that were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided for herein and to the extent amended and supplemented by the exhibits filed herewith. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

“Certain Legal Proceedings

On December 29, 2016, Kevin Nygren, who alleges that he owns 100 shares of AppliedMicro’s common stock, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AppliedMicro and its board of directors. The complaint alleges that AppliedMicro’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016 misstates or omits material facts regarding the process that led to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated November 21, 2016, among MACOM, the Purchaser, MACOM Connectivity Solutions, LLC (f/k/a Montana Merger Sub II, LLC), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of MACOM, and AppliedMicro; the opinions and analyses of AppliedMicro’s financial advisors; the transaction consideration; the intrinsic value of AppliedMicro; and unspecified potential conflicts of interest faced by certain individual defendants. Based on these allegations, the complaint asserts putative class claims under sections 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) (Count I), section 14(d)(9) of the Act and SEC Rule 14d-9 (Count II), and section 20(a) of the Act (Count III). The complaint, which has not yet been served, seeks certification of a class; preliminary and permanent injunctions barring the proposed transaction with MACOM; declaratory relief; and an accounting for damages allegedly caused by and profits and special benefits allegedly obtained as a result of the defendants’ actions.”
