Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 14, 2005, Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) executed an Amended and Restated Sublease (the “Sublease”) with Conexant Systems, Inc. (“Conexant”), with respect to its headquarters located in Newport Beach, California. The premises consist of approximately 193,137 square feet and the monthly rent is $328,332. The initial term of the Sublease expires on June 26, 2008 and the Company has an option to extend the term for an additional two years. The execution of the Sublease was required pursuant to the terms of the existing sublease with Conexant upon Conexant entering into a replacement master lease. The effectiveness of the Sublease is conditioned upon the closing of a sale of the premises.
On June 27, 2003, Conexant completed the spin-off to Conexant stockholders of all outstanding shares of the Company, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conexant. In connection with the spin-off, the Company issued to Conexant a warrant to purchase 30,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.408 per share, subject to adjustments for anti-dilution purposes. The warrant is exercisable until June 27, 2013. The Company and Conexant are also parties to an employee matters agreement, a tax allocation agreement and a transition services agreement entered into in connection with the spin-off. Dwight Decker, who serves as the chairman of the board of the Company, is the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Conexant. Two other members of the Company’s board of directors, Jerre Stead and Donald Beall, also serve on Conexant’s board of directors.
