Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), today confirmed it is engaged in
discussions with Elpida Memory, Inc.'s trustees to acquire Elpida's business. 

Micron made the announcement following a May 10 approval by the Tokyo District
Court allowing Elpida's trustees to negotiate an agreement with Micron,
pursuant to which Micron would become Elpida's sponsor and acquire Elpida's
entire business in accordance with the corporate reorganization proceedings.
Elpida, a semiconductor DRAM memory manufacturer, filed a petition for
commencement of Corporate Reorganization Proceedings with the Tokyo District
Court under the Corporate Reorganization Act of Japan on Feb. 27, 2012, which
proceedings have been commenced. 

Elpida recently undertook a bidding process to select a company to 'sponsor'
Elpida during its Corporate Reorganization proceedings and to acquire the
company's business. In that process, Elpida has decided to move forward in
negotiations with Micron as the potential sponsor.
