ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

As previously disclosed in the preliminary merger proxy filed by ON Semiconductor Corporation (“ON”) and AMIS Holdings, Inc. (“AMIS”), on December 28, 2007, both ON and AMIS filed Notification and Report Forms with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, or the HSR Act. On January 28, 2008, the waiting period under the HSR Act expired with regard to the proposed merger of the two companies. Additionally, on January 30, 2008, ON and AMIS received clearance from the German Federal Cartel Office with regard to the proposed merger.

Completion of the HSR waiting period satisfies one of the conditions to completion of the merger between ON and AMIS. Completion of the merger is also subject to the adoption of the merger agreement by the stockholders of each of ON and AMI at a special meeting of stockholders once a definitive joint proxy/prospectus is available and mailed to stockholders, receipt of other regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of the other closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement.
