Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On April 9, 2010, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Maxim") entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with MIP Tropic, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maxim ("Merger Sub"), Teridian
Semiconductor Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Teridian"), GGC Services Holdco, LLC, not individually, but solely in its
capacity as the representative of the securityholders of Teridian (the "Stockholder Representative"), and Teridian Semiconductor
Corporation, a California corporation, solely for purposes of Article 5 of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Teridian (the
"Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Maxim will acquire Teridian, a semiconductor company that designs, markets and sells
integrated circuits focusing on the smart meter and energy measurement markets, for approximately $315 million in cash, a portion of
which is to be placed in escrow. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Teridian will deliver information required to be given to its stockholders in connection with the
Merger and solicit their consent for the Merger. Certain officers and stockholders of Teridian, whose shares represent approximately
88.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of Teridian, have already executed a written consent approving the
Merger. The consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including but not limited to, the expiration or termination of
the waiting period applicable to the proposed Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Maxim currently anticipates that
the Merger will be completed in the fourth quarter of its current fiscal year. There can be no assurances that the Merger will be
consummated in that time period. The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are
subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated
herein by reference. Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. On April 12, 2010, Maxim issued a press release announcing that it had entered into the
Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in this Item 7.01 including the exhibit hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
section. The information in this Item 7.01 (including the exhibit hereto) shall not be incorporated by reference into any
registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by
specific reference to this Item 7.01 in such filing. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
