Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor”
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on

statements about future financial and operating results; benefits of the transaction to customers,
shareholders and employees; potential synergies and cost savings resulting from the transaction;
the ability of the combined company to drive growth and expand customer and partner relationships
and other statements regarding the proposed transaction. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance, involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to
predict, and are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove accurate.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed herein. For
example, if LSI and Agere do not each receive required shareholder approval or the parties fail to
satisfy other conditions to closing, the transaction will not be consummated. In any
forward-looking statement in which LSI or Agere expresses an expectation or belief as to future
results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable
basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement or expectation or belief will result or be
achieved or accomplished. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to
differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: failure of the LSI and

integrating, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies; the ability to retain key
employees; and other economic, business, competitive, and/or regulatory factors affecting the
