PROXY STATEMENT
----------------
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
General
The enclosed Proxy is solicited on behalf of LSI Logic Corporation
(referred to as "LSI Logic" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, for use
at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, May 1, 2003, at
9:00 a.m., local time, or at any adjournment(s) thereof, for the purposes set
forth in this proxy statement and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. The annual meeting will be held at the Fairmont Hotel located
at 170 South Market Street, San Jose, CA 95113. The address of the Company's
principal executive offices is 1621 Barber Lane, Milpitas, California 95035, and
the Company's telephone number is (408) 433-8000.
These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about March 31, 2003,
to all stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
Record Date; Shares Outstanding
Stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date of March
7, 2003 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
meeting. As of the Record Date, 375,208,474 shares of the Company's common
stock, $0.01 par value, were issued and outstanding. On the Record Date, the
closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was
$4.18 per share.
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person
giving it at any time before its use by delivering to the Corporate Secretary of
the Company at the Company's principal executive offices a written notice of
revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the
meeting and voting in person.
Voting and Solicitation
On all matters other than the election of directors, each share has one
vote. See "ELECTION OF DIRECTORS -- REQUIRED VOTE." The cost of soliciting
proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company has retained the services of
Georgeson & Company, Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies from brokers,
bank nominees and other institutional owners. The Company estimates that it will
pay Georgeson & Company, Inc. a fee not to exceed $10,000 for its services and
will reimburse it for certain out-of-pocket expenses estimated to be $10,000. In
addition, the Company may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons
representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding
solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Proxies may be solicited by
some of the Company's directors, officers and regular employees, without
additional compensation, personally or by telephone.
Householding
In an effort to reduce printing costs and postage fees, the Company has
adopted a practice approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
called "householding." Under this practice, stockholders who have the same
address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy
materials will receive only one copy of the Company's proxy materials unless one
or more of these stockholders notifies the
1
Company that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. Stockholders who
participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.
If you share an address with another stockholder and received only one set
of proxy materials and would like to request a separate copy of these materials,
please send your request to: LSI Logic Corporation, 1621 Barber Lane, MS AD-115,
Milpitas, CA 95035, Attn: Investor Relations, or visit the Company's website at
www.lsilogic.com. You may also contact the Company if you received multiple
copies of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the
future.
Quorum; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes
The required quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting
is a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by holders of shares of common
stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date. Shares that are voted "FOR,"
"AGAINST" or "WITHHELD FROM" a matter are treated as being present at the
meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and are also treated as votes cast
at the annual meeting with respect to that matter (the "Votes Cast").
The Company intends to count abstentions for purposes of determining both
the presence and absence of a quorum and the total number of Votes Cast with
respect to any matter (other than the election of directors). Broker non-votes
will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum
for the transaction of business, but will not be considered to be Votes Cast
with respect to the particular proposal on which the broker has expressly not
voted. Accordingly, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the voting
on a proposal that requires a majority of the Votes Cast (such as the approval
of a plan amendment). However, with respect to a proposal that requires a
majority of the outstanding shares (such as an amendment to the certificate of
incorporation), a broker non-vote has the same effect as a vote against the
proposal.
Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
Proposals of stockholders of the Company that are intended to be presented
by such stockholders at the Company's 2004 annual meeting and that stockholders
desire to have included in the Company's proxy materials relating to such
meeting must be received by the Company no later than December 2, 2003, which is
120 calendar days prior to the anniversary of this year's mail date, and must be
in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in order to be considered for
possible inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting.
If a stockholder wishes to present a proposal at the Company's annual
meeting in the year 2004 and the proposal is not intended to be included in the
Company's proxy statement relating to that meeting, the stockholder must give
advance notice to the Company prior to the deadline for such meeting determined
in accordance with the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaw Deadline"), as described
below in the section entitled "Other Matters." If a stockholder gives notice of
such a proposal after the Bylaw Deadline, the stockholder will not be permitted
to present the proposal to the stockholders for a vote at the meeting.
The SEC rules also establish a different deadline for submission of
stockholder proposals that are not intended to be included in the Company's
proxy statement with respect to discretionary voting (the "Discretionary Vote
Deadline"). The Discretionary Vote Deadline for the year 2004 annual meeting is
February 15, 2004 (45 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the mailing date
of this proxy statement). If a stockholder gives notice of such a proposal after
the Discretionary Vote Deadline, the Company's proxy holders will be allowed to
use their discretionary voting authority to vote against the stockholder
proposal when and if the proposal is raised at the Company's year 2004 annual
meeting. Because the Bylaw Deadline is not capable of being determined until the
Company publicly announces the date for its next annual meeting, it is possible
that the Bylaw Deadline may occur after the Discretionary Vote Deadline. In such
a case, a proposal received after the Discretionary Vote Deadline but before the
Bylaw Deadline would be eligible to be presented at next year's annual meeting
and the Company believes that its proxy holders would be allowed to use the
discretionary authority granted by the proxy card to vote against the proposal
at the meeting without including any disclosure of the proposal in the proxy
statement relating to such meeting.
2
The Company has not been notified by any stockholder of his or her intent
to present a stockholder proposal from the floor at this year's annual meeting.
The enclosed proxy card grants the proxy holders discretionary authority to vote
on any matter properly brought before the annual meeting, including any
stockholder proposals received between the date of this proxy statement and the
Bylaw Deadline for this year's annual meeting, which is April 7, 2003 (the
seventh day after this proxy statement is mailed).

Board Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors of the Company held a total of eight meetings during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The Board of Directors has an Audit
Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. The Audit,
Compensation and Nominating Committees consist solely of non-employee
independent directors. All committees operate under charters approved by the
Board of Directors. The members and chairmanship of the committees are appointed
by the Board of Directors annually.
The Audit Committee, which consists of Dr. Currie (who serves as its
chairman), Mr. Chu, Mr. Keyes and Mr. O'Rourke, held nine meetings during the
last fiscal year. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's accounting policies
and practices, internal controls, financial reporting practices, contingent
risks and risk management strategies and plans. The Audit Committee selects and
retains the Company's independent accountants to serve the following year to
examine the Company's accounts, and reviews the independence of the independent
accountants as a factor in making these determinations. The Audit Committee
meets alone with the Company's management, independent accountants and the
director of the
5
Company's Audit Department, and grants them free access to the Audit Committee
at any time. All members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, as
such qualification is interpreted by the Company's Board in its business
judgment.
The Compensation Committee, which consists of Mr. Keyes (who serves as its
chairman), Mr. Chu, Dr. Currie, Mr. Reyes and Mr. O'Rourke, held five meetings
during the last fiscal year. At least annually, the Compensation Committee
reviews the goals of the Company's executive officer and director compensation
plans, and amends or recommends that the Board of Directors amend these goals if
the Committee deems it appropriate. The Compensation Committee evaluates and
reviews, at least annually, the performance of the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer and other executive officers in light of those goals. Based upon such an
evaluation, the Compensation Committee establishes the Company's overall
executive compensation strategy, and, in particular, determines the compensation
structure for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and other executive
officers of the Company. The Committee approves any incentive, bonus or similar
plans of the Company based upon the recommendations submitted by the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President of Human Resources. The
Committee reviews and approves the Company's stock option and other stock
incentive award programs and reviews, as needed (with an independent
consultant), executive compensation matters and significant issues that relate
to executive compensation.
The Nominating Committee, which consists of Mr. Chu (who serves as its
chairman), Dr. Currie, Mr. O'Rourke and Mr. Reyes, held one meeting during the
last fiscal year. The Nominating Committee provides assistance to the Board of
Directors in recommending to the Board of Directors individuals qualified to
serve as directors of the Company and on committees of the Board of Directors,
recommending to the Board of Directors the director nominees for the next annual
meeting of stockholders, advising the Board of Directors with respect to Board
composition, procedures and whether to form or dissolve committees, advising the
Board of Directors with respect to the corporate governance principles
applicable to the Company and developing criteria for oversight of the
evaluation of the Board of Directors and management. The Nominating Committee
will consider nominees to the Board of Directors suggested by stockholders. Any
recommendations should be directed to the Corporate Secretary at the Company's
principal executive offices.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, all incumbent directors
attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of
Directors and meetings of the committees of the Board on which they served,
except for Mr. Reyes, who attended 67% of the aggregate number of meetings of
the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee, of which he is a member.
Compensation of Directors
Members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company
receive an annual fee of $25,000 paid on a prorated basis and $1,500 for each
regular Board meeting they attend, plus reimbursement of expenses for attendance
at regular Board and committee meetings. Special telephonic meetings are held
occasionally for which additional compensation is not paid. The Company's
Amended 1995 Director Option Plan, as adopted by the Board of Directors and
approved by the stockholders, provides for the grant of non-statutory stock
options to non-employee directors of the Company. Under a non-discretionary
formula approved by the stockholders, each non-employee director is granted an
initial option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock on the date on which he
or she first becomes a director. In addition, on April 1 of each year, each
non-employee director is automatically granted a subsequent option to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock of the Company, if on the date of grant he or she
has served on the Board of Directors for at least six months. The vesting
schedule for initial options granted under the Amended 1995 Director Option Plan
is set at 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.
Subsequent option grants become exercisable in full six months after the date of
grant. Options may be exercised only while the optionee is a director of the
Company, within 12 months after death or within three months after the optionee
ceases to serve as a director of the Company, but in no event after the ten-year
term of the option has expired. As of the Record Date, a total of 1,000,000
shares have been reserved for issuance under the 1995 Amended Director Option
Plan, of which 695,000 shares are subject to outstanding options, 15,000 shares
have been issued upon exercise of options, and 290,000 shares remain available
for grant. During fiscal 2002, an option
6
to purchase 25,000 shares was granted to each of Directors Chu, Currie, Keyes,
Norby, O'Rourke, Reyes and Sonsini having a weighted average exercise price of
$17.35 per share.
Required Vote
Directors shall be elected by a plurality vote. The eight nominees for
director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares
entitled to be voted for them shall be elected as directors. Votes against,
votes withheld and broker non-votes have no legal effect on the election of
directors due to the fact that such elections are by a plurality.
Every stockholder voting in the election of directors may cumulate such
stockholder's votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number
of directors to be elected (eight) multiplied by the number of votes to which
the stockholder's shares are entitled, or may distribute the stockholder's votes
on the same principle among as many candidates as the stockholder thinks fit,
provided that votes cannot be cast for more than eight candidates. However, no
stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes for a candidate unless the
candidate's name has been properly placed in nomination in accordance with the
Company's Bylaws prior to the meeting, and the stockholder, or any other
stockholder, has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the
stockholder's intention to cumulate votes. The proxy holders will exercise
discretionary authority to cumulate votes in the event that additional persons
are nominated for election as directors.
Under the Company's Bylaws, in order for stockholder nominees for director
to be deemed properly placed in nomination, notice must be delivered to the
Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the
Company no less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the annual meeting;
provided, however, if less than 65 days notice of the date of the annual meeting
has been given to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be
delivered to the Company not later than the close of business on the seventh day
following the day on which such notice of the annual meeting was mailed. The
stockholder's notice must set forth: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information
relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of
proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's
written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to
serving as a director if elected); (b) the name and address of the stockholder
as they appear on the Company's books, or the name of the beneficial holder or
other party on whose behalf the nomination is made; and (c) the class and number
of shares of the Company owned by the stockholder or beneficial holder or other
party on whose behalf the nomination is made.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the proposed
slate of directors for the current year.

PROPOSAL TWO
AMENDMENT TO THE 1995 AMENDED DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE
THEREUNDER AND TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE PLAN
General
The Amended 1995 Director Option Plan ("DOP") was adopted by the Board of
Directors and approved by the stockholders in May 1995, and a total of 250,000
shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance thereunder.
Two-for-one common stock splits in 1995 and 2000 increased the aggregate number
of shares authorized under the DOP to 1,000,000.
As of the Record Date, 695,000 shares of common stock are subject to
outstanding options, 15,000 shares have been issued upon exercise of options,
and 290,000 shares remain available for future grant. The Company will grant a
substantial portion of the 290,000 remaining shares of common stock on April 1,
2003 (the date on which each non-employee director is automatically granted an
option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock), leaving an inadequate number
of shares available for issuance thereafter.
Proposed Amendment to the DOP
Stockholder approval is hereby sought for an amendment approved by the
Board of Directors on March 14, 2003, to increase the number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the DOP by 1,000,000 and to extend the term of
the DOP. If the proposed amendment is approved, the total number of shares of
common stock reserved since the inception of the DOP for issuance will be
2,000,000 and the DOP will terminate on April 30, 2013. The Company believes
that the ability to grant options to non-employee directors is crucial in order
to attract the best available personnel for service as directors, to provide
additional incentive to non-employee directors and to encourage their continued
service.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Votes Cast at the annual meeting
will be required to approve PROPOSAL TWO.
Summary of DOP
The essential features of the DOP are outlined below.
Purpose
The purposes of the DOP are to attract and retain the best available
personnel for service as directors of the Company and to provide additional
incentive to non-employee directors.
Administration
The DOP is designed to work automatically and without administration.
However, to the extent administration is necessary, it is provided by the Board
of Directors of the Company. Members of the Board of Directors receive no
additional compensation for their services in connection with the administration
of the DOP.
Eligibility
The DOP provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to
non-employee directors of the Company. Each non-employee director is granted an
option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock on the date on which he or she
first becomes a non-employee director. In addition, on April 1 of each year,
each non-employee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 25,000
shares of common stock of the Company, if on such date he or she has served on
the Board of Directors for at least six months. The options fully vest six
months after the date of grant. The DOP provides for neither a maximum nor a
minimum
8
number of option shares that may be granted to any one non-employee director,
but does provide for the number of shares that may be included in any grant and
the method of making a grant.
Of the eight seats currently on the Board of Directors of the Company,
seven are occupied by non-employee directors, each of whom is eligible to
participate in the Plan.
Terms of Options
Options granted under the DOP have a term of ten years. Each option is
evidenced by a stock option agreement between the Company and the director to
whom such option is granted and is subject to the following additional terms and
conditions.
(a) Exercise of the Option. A non-employee director's initial option grants
become exercisable cumulatively at the rate of 25% of the shares subject to the
option on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. Subsequent
option grants become exercisable in full six months after the date of grant. An
option is exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the Company
specifying the number of full shares of common stock to be purchased and
tendering payment to the Company of the purchase price. Payment for shares
issued upon exercise of an option may consist of any of the following, or any
combination of them: (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) other shares (which, in the
case of shares acquired upon exercise of an option, shall have been owned by the
optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender and have a fair
market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the shares as to the options shall be exercised), (iv) provided it does not
result in a compensation charge to the Company, delivery of an irrevocable
written election to have the Company withhold shares having a fair market value
on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares
being exercised, including the amount required to be withheld, if any, to
satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, (v) delivery of
a properly executed exercise notice that shall require delivery of the sale or
loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (vi) any other consideration
or method of payment permitted by law or (vii) any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment.
(b) Option Price. The exercise price of each option is the fair market
value of the stock covered by the option, calculated on the grant date. The
Board of Directors determines such fair market value based upon the closing
price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.
If the date of grant is not a trading day, the price shall be determined as of
the next trading day immediately following the date of grant.
(c) Termination of Status as a Director. The DOP provides that if there is
any break in continuous service of an optionee as a director (other than as a
result of death or total and permanent disability), the optionee may exercise
his or her options to the extent otherwise exercisable under the DOP, but only
within three months after he or she ceases to be a director. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event may an option be exercised after its ten-year term has
expired.
(d) Death. If an optionee should die while serving as a director of the
Company, the optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise
the option by bequest or inheritance may exercise his or her options to the
extent otherwise exercisable under the DOP, but only within 12 months following
the date of the optionee's death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may
an option be exercised after its ten-year term has expired.
(e) Disability. If an Optionee's continuous service as a director
terminates as a result of total and permanent disability, the optionee may
exercise his or her options to the extent otherwise exercisable under the DOP,
but only within 12 months following the date he or she ceases to be a director.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may an option be exercised after its
ten-year term has expired.
(f) Non-transferability of Options. An option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee.
9
Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization and Other Events
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the
number of shares covered by each outstanding option, the number of shares that
have been authorized for issuance under the DOP but as to which no options have
yet been granted, as well as the price per share covered by each such
outstanding option, and the number of shares issuable on exercise of options
previously granted pursuant to the automatic grant provisions of the DOP shall
be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company (excluding conversion of any convertible
securities). In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, to the extent that an option has not been previously exercised, it
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
Amendment and Termination
The Board of Directors may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue
the DOP; provided, however, that the DOP may not be amended more than once every
six months, other than to comply with changes in the Code, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder. In
addition, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any amendment to the
DOP to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. No action by the Board of Directors or
stockholders, however, may alter or impair any option previously granted under
the DOP without the consent of the optionee. In any event, the DOP is currently
scheduled to terminate in 2005. If the proposed amendment is approved, the DOP
will terminate on April 30, 2013.
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Information
The following is only a summary of the effect of federal income taxation
upon the optionee and the Company with respect to the grant and exercise of
options under the DOP, does not purport to be complete and does not discuss the
income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which an
optionee may reside.
Options granted under the DOP are nonstatutory options ("NSOs"). An
optionee will not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she is granted
an NSO. However, upon the exercise of an NSO, the optionee will recognize
ordinary income measured by the excess of the then fair market value of the
shares over the option exercise price. Upon disposition of such shares by the
optionee, any difference between the sales price and the exercise price, to the
extent not recognized as ordinary income as provided above, will be treated as
capital gain (or loss). The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction in the
same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to
shares acquired upon exercise of an NSO.
Participation in the DOP
The grant of options under the DOP to non-employee directors is subject to
the terms of the DOP and can only be determined at the time of election or
appointment to the Board of Directors and on the first day of April of each year
thereafter. Accordingly, future awards are not determinable. No executive
officers or employees are eligible to participate in the DOP. During the last
fiscal year, a total of 175,000 stock options were granted to the seven
non-employee directors having a weighted average exercise price of $17.35 per
share.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the
amendment to the Amended 1995 Director Option Plan. Unless you indicate
otherwise, your proxy will vote "FOR" the proposal.

PROPOSAL THREE
ADOPTION OF THE 2003 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
General
The Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
in March 2003. In light of anticipated changes in accounting and regulatory
requirements, the Company is proposing a plan requiring stockholder approval
that allows more flexibility if and when option expensing is required and is
available for broad-based participation. The Company seeks to preserve its
ability to offer a competitive compensation program. A total of 11,000,000
shares have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. Stockholder approval is
hereby sought to approve the Plan and the number of shares that have been
reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of the majority of the Votes Cast at the annual
meeting will be required to approve PROPOSAL THREE.
Summary of the Plan
The essential features of the Plan are outlined below.
Purpose
The Plan is intended to attract, motivate and retain employees of the
Company and its affiliates, as defined below. The Plan also is designed to
encourage stock ownership by participants, thereby aligning their interests with
those of the Company's stockholders and to permit the payment of compensation
that qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Administration
The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee"). The
Committee shall consist of at least two directors who shall be appointed from
time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. The
Committee shall be comprised solely of directors who are both (a) "non-employee
directors" under Rule 16b-3, and (b) "outside directors" under Section 162(m) of
the Code. Members of the Committee receive no additional compensation for their
services in connection with the administration of the Plan. Subject to the terms
of the Plan, the Committee has the sole discretion to determine the employees
who shall be granted awards, the size and types of such awards and the terms and
conditions of such awards. The Committee may delegate its authority to grant and
administer awards to a separate committee appointed by the Committee, but only
the Committee can make awards to participants who are executive officers of the
Company.
Eligibility
Any person who is an employee of the Company or its affiliates is eligible
to participate in the Plan. An affiliate means any corporation or any other
entity (including, but not limited to, partnerships and joint ventures)
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company. As of the
Record Date, there were a total of 5,388 employees who were eligible to
participate in the Plan.
Reserved Shares
A total of 11,000,000 shares will be reserved under the Plan. If an award
expires or is cancelled without having been fully exercised or vested, the
unvested or cancelled shares generally will be returned to the available pool of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Also, if the Company experiences a
stock dividend, reorganization or other change in its capital structure, the
Committee has discretion to adjust the number of shares available for issuance
under the Plan, the outstanding awards and the per-person limits on awards, as
appropriate to reflect the stock dividend or other change.
11
Stock Options
The Plan provides for the grant of both non-qualified stock options and
incentive stock options ("ISOs"). The Committee fixes the term of each option at
the time of the grant, generally at ten years from the date of the grant, or
such term as set forth in an award agreement. The Committee also determines the
vesting schedule for each option grant. The Committee's current practice is to
grant options that vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date
of grant (assuming continued employment).
The exercise price for each option may not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of a share of common stock on the date of the option grant (or not
less than 110% of such fair market value in the case of grants of ISOs to 10%
stockholders). During any fiscal year, no participant shall be granted options
covering more than 2,000,000 shares.
The exercise price of options granted under the Plan, including applicable
tax withholding, if any, must be paid in full at the time of exercise. The
method of payment is determined by the Committee, and may be in cash, cash
equivalent, other shares of common stock or any other means as is considered
legal consideration for the shares and is permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
Without stockholder approval, the Committee may not reprice or otherwise
lower the exercise price of options previously granted (except as required to
reflect stock dividends or other similar events).
The Committee has discretion to determine the length of time an option may
be exercised after termination of employment and termination of service due to
death and disability. No ISO may be exercised more than three months after a
participant's termination of service for any reason other than death or
disability. No ISO may be exercised more than one year after a participant's
termination of service on account of death or disability, unless the award
agreement and the Committee permit later exercise.
Substituted Options
In the event that the Company consummates a transaction described in
Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an
unrelated corporation), persons who become employees on account of such a
transaction may be granted options in substitution for options granted by their
former employer. If such substitute options are granted, the Committee may
determine that such options will have an exercise price less than 100% of the
fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.
Restricted Stock
The Plan also provides for the issuance of restricted stock awards.
Restricted stock awards will vest in accordance with terms and conditions
established by the Committee. The Committee will determine the number of shares
of restricted stock granted to any employee. No participant may be granted more
than 500,000 shares of restricted stock in any year.
In determining whether an award of restricted stock should be made, and/or
the vesting schedule for an award, the Committee may impose whatever conditions
to vesting as it determines to be appropriate. For purposes of qualifying awards
of restricted stock as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
the Code, the Committee may choose to require achievement of one or more of the
following targets: (a) cash flow, (b) earnings per share, (c) profit after tax,
(d) profit before tax, (e) return on capital, (f) return on equity, (g) return
on sales, (h) revenue and (i) total shareholder return.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan
The Committee may amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any
time, but such amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation may not
impair the rights of any participant in the Plan without the participant's
consent. In addition, without further stockholder approval, no ISO may be
granted under the Plan after March 19, 2013.
12
Participation in the Plan
The number of awards that an employee may receive under the Plan is in the
discretion of the Committee and therefore cannot be determined in advance. The
following table sets forth (a) the aggregate number of shares subject to options
granted during the last fiscal year under the Company's other option plans and
(b) the weighted average per share exercise price of such options.

Option Plan.
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Information
A recipient of a stock option will not have taxable income upon the grant
of the option. For options other than ISOs, the participant will recognize
ordinary income on the date of exercise measured by the excess of the then fair
market value of the shares over the option exercise price. Any gain or loss
recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be capital
gain income.
Purchase of shares upon exercise of an ISO option will not result in any
taxable income to the participant, except for purposes of the alternative
minimum tax. Gain or loss recognized by the participant on a later sale or other
disposition will either be long-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income
depending upon whether the participant holds the shares transferred upon the
exercise for a specified period. Any ordinary income recognized will be in the
amount, if any, by which the lesser of the fair market value of such shares on
the date of exercise or the amount realized from the sale exceeds the aggregate
option exercise price.
Unless the participant elects to be taxed at the time of receipt of
restricted stock, the participant will not have taxable income upon the receipt
of the award, but upon vesting will recognize ordinary income equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting over the
price paid for the restricted stock.
At the discretion of the Committee, the Plan allows a participant to
satisfy tax withholding requirements under federal and state tax laws in
connection with the exercise or receipt of an award by electing to have shares
of common stock withheld, or by delivering to the Company already-owned shares,
having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award
under the Plan only in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the
participant and at the time the participant recognizes such income. In addition,
Section 162(m) of the Code contains special rules regarding the federal income
tax deductibility of compensation paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer
and to each of the other four most highly compensated executive officers. The
general rule is that annual compensation paid to any of these specified
executives will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed
$1,000,000. However, the Company can preserve the deductibility of certain
compensation in excess of $1,000,000 if it complies with conditions imposed by
the rules, including the establishment of a maximum number of shares with
respect to which awards may be granted to any one employee during one year, and,
if for restricted stock, if the Plan sets forth performance goals that must be
achieved prior to payment of the awards. The Plan has been designed to permit
the Committee to
13
grant awards that satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m), thereby permitting
the Company to continue to receive a federal income tax deduction in connection
with such awards.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" approval of the 2003 Equity
Incentive Plan. Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy will vote "FOR" the
proposal.

since the fiscal year ended December 31, 1981. Representatives of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting with
the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to
be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" ratification of the
appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent accountants for the
2003 fiscal year. Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy will vote "FOR" the
proposal.

(1) This amount reflects a ten percent voluntary reduction in pay taken by the
Named Executive Officers from March 6, 2001, until September 30, 2002. The
reduction in pay was reversed effective October 1, 2002, at which point the
base salaries of the Named Executive Officers were reinstated to their
previous levels.
(2) The Company has not granted any stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
awards or long-term incentive plan awards to executive officers.
(3) "All Other Compensation" for 2002 consists solely of group life insurance.
(4) Mr. Look was named an executive officer of the Company in November 2000.
16
Change-in-Control and Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into change-in-control agreements with each of the
Named Executive Officers, except Mr. Corrigan, to help ensure the continued
services of management to the Company. Mr. Corrigan's employment agreement dated
September 2001 is discussed in this proxy statement in the section entitled "CEO
Employment Agreement," below.
For purposes of the change-in-control agreements made with the Named
Executive Officers, benefits are payable only upon a change-in-control of the
Company, which is deemed to have occurred in the event of (1) the consummation
by the Company of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the
voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent more than 50% of the total voting power represented by
the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation; (2) the approval by the
shareholders of the Company of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or
an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets or (3) any person becoming the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of
the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding voting
securities.
Under the change-in-control agreements, if the executive officer's
employment is terminated involuntarily at any time within 12 months after a
change of control, the executive officer will receive a lump sum payment equal
to the sum of two years' base salary plus 200% of the executive officer's target
bonus for the year in which the change of control occurs, and continued
health-care benefits during the two years following the termination. In
addition, the vesting and exercisability of all options that were granted at
least six months prior to the change of control shall be automatically
accelerated and fully vested and exercisable at the date of the involuntary
termination. These agreements shall terminate in November 2003, unless a change
of control occurs, in which case, the agreements shall terminate upon the date
that all obligations of the parties have been satisfied.
CEO Employment Agreement
In September 2001, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the
"Agreement") with Wilfred J. Corrigan, the Company's Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The Agreement provides for Mr. Corrigan to
continue to serve as CEO and Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, and
further provides for an annual base salary as determined by the Board and an
annual bonus based on performance goals determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Board.
If the Company terminates Mr. Corrigan's employment other than for cause,
or his employment terminates as a result of death or disability, Mr. Corrigan
will receive 36 months base salary, 300% of his target bonus for the immediate
year, 24 months of health, dental and vision benefits, 18 months of life
insurance benefits and vesting of unexpired options granted in November 1999,
April 2001 and after September 2001. With respect to each such option, Mr.
Corrigan will have the full term of each option to exercise the vested part of
the option. An additional payment will be made to Mr. Corrigan in order to
offset the effect of any federal excise taxes on payments made under the
Agreement. If Mr. Corrigan voluntarily terminates his employment as CEO for any
reason other than death or disability and the Company does not ask him to remain
as the employee Chairman of the Board, Mr. Corrigan will receive all of the
payments and benefits described above. If Mr. Corrigan voluntarily resigns for
any reason other than death or disability and the Company asks Mr. Corrigan to
remain as the employee Chairman of the Board and he agrees to do so, Mr.
Corrigan will receive the payments and benefits describe above except for the
accelerated option vesting. Instead, unexpired options from grants after
September 2001 and from the two option grants made in November 1999 and April
2001, respectively, will be converted to a monthly vesting schedule such that
all such options will vest within 36 months of the resignation date. If Mr.
Corrigan is terminated for cause or if he voluntarily resigns and does not
remain as the employee Chairman of the Board following a Company request to do
so, he will not receive any of the payments or benefits described above and
instead, will receive only salary and other benefits that accrued prior to his
termination of employment or as may be required by law.

Stock Option Grants and Exercises
The following tables set forth information with respect to the stock
options granted to the Named Executive Officers under the Company's stock option
plans during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the options exercised by
such Named Executive Officers during such fiscal year and the options held by
the Named Executive Officers at December 31, 2002.
The Option Grants Table sets forth hypothetical gains or "option spreads"
for the options at the end of their respective ten-year terms, as calculated in
accordance with the rules of the SEC. Each gain is based on an arbitrarily
assumed annualized rate of compound appreciation of the market price of 5% or
10% from the date the option was granted to the end of the option term and does
not represent the Company's projection of future stock price performance. Actual
gains, if any, on option exercises are dependent on the future performance of
the Company's common stock and overall market conditions.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON CEO AND OTHER
EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION FOR LSI LOGIC CORPORATION
Overview and Philosophy
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation
Committee") establishes the overall executive compensation strategies of the
Company and approves compensation elements for the chief executive officer and
other executive officers. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews its
approach to executive compensation.
The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of five non-employee,
independent members of the Board of Directors, none of whom has any interlocking
relationships as defined by the SEC. The Compensation Committee has available to
it such external compensation advice and data as the Committee deems appropriate
to obtain.
The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to provide a comprehensive
compensation package for each executive officer that is well suited to support
accomplishment of the Company's business strategies, objectives and initiatives.
For incentive-based compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the
desirability to qualify such compensation for deductibility by the Company under
Section 162(m) of the Code, but does not consider it to be an overriding or
controlling factor. Options granted under the Company's option plans qualify as
"performance-based" compensation that are not subject to the limitations on
deductibility of certain executive compensation under Section 162(m). The
Company's cash bonus plans do not qualify as "performance-based" compensation
under Section 162(m). As the Compensation Committee applies this compensation
philosophy in determining appropriate executive compensation levels and other
compensation factors, the Committee reaches its decisions with a view towards
the Company's overall financial performance.
19
EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee's approach to executive officer compensation is
based upon a belief that a substantial portion of aggregate annual cash
compensation for executive officers should be contingent upon the Company's
performance and an individual's contribution to the Company's success. In
addition, the Compensation Committee strives to align the interests of the
Company's executive officers with the long-term interests of stockholders
through stock option grants that can result in ownership of the Company's common
stock. The Compensation Committee endeavors to structure each executive
officer's overall compensation package to be consistent with this approach and
to enable the Company to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute
to the success of the Company.
The Company's compensation program for executive officers is based on the
following guidelines:
o Establishment of base salary levels and participation in generally
available employee benefit programs based on competitive compensation
package practices.
o Utilization of a performance-based, cash incentive plan.
o Inclusion of equity opportunities that create long-term incentives
based upon increases in stockholder return.
The Compensation Committee reviews compensation levels for the executive
officers utilizing information provided by an independent consulting firm
engaged by the Company to benchmark the Company's executive pay practices
against industry norms. The Company's 2002 benchmark study included the 25
best-performing high technology companies, including semiconductor, storage
systems, storage components and networking companies.
The Company had a cash incentive plan during the third and fourth quarters
of 2002 that provided for bonus awards to be made to the executive officers
(other than the CEO) and other members of senior management subject to an
aggregate budget for all awards under the plan. The plan established a minimum
level of operating income to be achieved by the Company for the third and fourth
quarters of 2002 before any payments would be made under the plan. The plan also
permitted upward adjustments in awards to be made if the minimum established
targets were exceeded. In addition, the plan provided for the CEO to determine
individual bonus award amounts pursuant to his judgment of each participant's
personal contributions to the Company's performance for the year, subject to the
approval of the Committee. The Compensation Committee approved a discretionary
bonus pool to award certain individuals in the second half of the year, with the
expectation that bonus awards would demonstrate substantial differentiation and
be highly selective.
Due to the economic downturn and the Company's financial performance, the
chief executive officer and ten executive officers voluntarily imposed upon
themselves a temporary ten percent cut in base salary effective March 6, 2001.
In October 2002, after consultation with the Compensation Committee, salaries
effective prior to March 2001 were reinstated. The Company's benchmark analysis
discussed above confirmed that, with the restoration of the normal salary
levels, the base salaries for the executive officers are, on average, within
competitive range of the Company's market target of the 60th percentile.
The Company maintains a set of guidelines for use in making recommendations
to the Committee on individual grants to executive officers of options to
purchase common stock of the Company. These guidelines are based on the
responsibility levels of each position within the Company and in other
companies, as determined by the 2002 benchmark study. The Compensation Committee
believes that this benchmark study fairly reflects the competitive environment
in which the Company operates and is consistent with the compensation principles
above. Stock option grants were made to certain executive officers during 2002
in accordance with the guidelines.
20
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
Mr. Corrigan has been Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
("CEO") of the Company since its founding in 1981. In September 2001, the
Company entered into an employment agreement (the "Agreement") with Mr.
Corrigan. A summary of the Agreement is set forth in the section on "CEO
Employment Agreement." Effective March 6, 2001, Mr. Corrigan voluntarily imposed
upon himself a temporary ten percent decrease in base salary, reducing his
annual base salary to $774,000. During 2002, the Committee considered
information regarding competitive compensation practices and levels for chief
executive officers. In October 2002, after consulting with the Committee, the
ten percent decrease in base salary was reversed, returning Mr. Corrigan's base
salary to the 2001 level of $860,000. The current base salary for Mr. Corrigan,
established by the Compensation Committee, falls in the median of the range of
such information used for competitive comparisons.
Mr. Corrigan was also eligible for a performance-based bonus compensation
plan for the Company's CEO that is based on the CEO's performance, operating
income objectives for the Company and on the overall performance of the Company.
Mr. Corrigan did not receive a bonus with respect to fiscal year 2002. In
addition, while the executive compensation benchmark analysis indicated that Mr.
Corrigan's stock position fell below competitive norms, the Compensation
Committee concluded that stock option grants would not be considered for Mr.
Corrigan until 2003.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of LSI Logic Corporation
("Audit Committee") assists the Board in executing its responsibilities. The
Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, retention and
termination of the Company's independent accountants, determining the
compensation of the independent accountants and monitoring the integrity and
adequacy of the Company's financial information, control systems and reporting
practices.
The Audit Committee is composed of four non-employee members, each of whom
is independent as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing rules and
operates under a charter approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company's independent accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
("PricewaterhouseCoopers"), are responsible for expressing an opinion on the
conformity of the Company's audited financial statements to generally accepted
accounting principles.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial
statements with the Company's management. The Audit Committee has discussed with
PricewaterhouseCoopers certain matters required under Statement on Auditing
Standard No. 61 and has received written disclosures and the letter required by
Independent Standards Board Standard No.1 from the outside accountants and has
discussed with them their independence.
Audit Fees: The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by
PricewaterhouseCoopers in connection with its audit of the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002
and its limited reviews of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements were $1.0 million.
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees: During the
year ended December 31, 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers rendered no professional
services to the Company in connection with the
21
design and implementation of financial information systems as described in
Paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (17 CFR 210.2-01
(c)(4)(ii)).
All Other Fees: Aggregate fees billed for all other services rendered by
PricewaterhouseCoopers, other than the services covered in the two previous
paragraphs, for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $1.8 million, primarily
for the following professional services (in millions):
Audit-related services(1) .............................. $0.6
Income tax compliance and related tax services ......... $1.2
Other .................................................. $ 0
------------
(1) Audit-related service fees include fees for issuance of consents and
comfort letters, audit and accounting assistance with respect to
restructuring activities, leasing transactions and acquisitions during the
year.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided
by PricewaterhouseCoopers are compatible with maintaining the independence of
PricewaterhouseCoopers and has concluded that the independence of
PricewaterhouseCoopers is maintained and is not compromised by the services
provided.
Based on the review and discussion referred to above, the Audit Committee
recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, that
the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, for filing with the SEC.
The Audit Committee also selected PricewaterhouseCoopers to audit the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the 2003 fiscal year.
