Item 1.02.      Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On May 9, May 12, and May 14, 2014, Micron Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) agreed with Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, BNP Paribas and Société Générale (each a “Counterparty” and collectively, the “Counterparties”), respectively, to terminate and unwind certain capped call transactions by and between the Company and each Counterparty (such transactions, the “2011 Capped Calls”).  The Company entered into the 2011 Capped Calls in connection with the July 2011 offering of its 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031A Notes”) and 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031B Notes” and, together with the 2031A Notes, the “2031 Notes”) in order to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 2031 Notes.  As a result of the termination and unwinding of the 2011 Capped Calls, the Company will receive approximately 3 million shares from the Counterparties.
 
Item 8.01.      Other Events.
 
Convertible Note Repurchases
 
On May 13, 2014, in privately-negotiated transactions, the Company agreed to repurchase approximately $39 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032D Notes”) for approximately $111 million in cash, which amount includes accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased 2032D Notes.  Following these repurchases, $374 million in aggregate principal amount of 2032D Notes remains outstanding.
 
On April 14 and 15, 2014, in privately-negotiated transactions, the Company agreed to repurchase approximately $60 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032C Notes”) for approximately $142 million in cash, which amount includes accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased 2032C Notes.  Following these repurchases, $390 million in aggregate principal amount of 2032C Notes remains outstanding.
 
The Company expects to record a charge in the third quarter of its fiscal 2014 of approximately $8 million associated with the repurchases of the 2032D and 2032C Notes.
 
10b5-1 Trading Plan

On May 11, 2014, Mercedes Johnson, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, entered into a prearranged trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  Rule 10b5-1 permits officers and directors of public companies to adopt predetermined plans for selling specified amounts of stock.  Ms. Johnson’s trading plan provides for the sale of up to 73,000 shares of the Company’s stock over a 12-month period beginning in July 2014.
