Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 14, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $5.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and replaces the Company’s existing Credit Agreement dated as of April 29, 2022, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of any borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be used for general corporate purposes.

Up to $250 million of the Revolving Facility may be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit. The issuance of letters of credit reduces the aggregate amount otherwise available under the Revolving Facility for the making of revolving loans. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow revolving loans at any time prior to the earlier of (a) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) the date of termination in whole of the revolving lenders’ commitments under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. As of the Closing Date, there are no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, plus an applicable margin that is calculated based on the Company’s credit ratings from time to time and ranges from 0.50% to 0.80% in the case of loans accruing interest based on Term SOFR and at 0.00% in the case of loans accruing interest based on Base Rate (it being understood that Term SOFR as defined can be no lower than 0.00% and Base Rate as defined can be no lower than 1.00%). In addition, the Company has agreed to pay to the lenders under the Credit Agreement certain customary fees, including a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitments under the Revolving Facility, which ranges from 0.03% to 0.05% based on the Company’s credit ratings from time to time.

Voluntary prepayments of the loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty (other than customary SOFR loan breakage costs), subject to certain conditions pertaining to minimum notice and minimum reduction amounts as described in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type. There are no financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains various events of default (subject to grace periods, as applicable) including among others: nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of covenant; payment default on, or acceleration under, certain other material indebtedness; inaccuracy of the representations or warranties in any material respect; bankruptcy or insolvency; certain unsatisfied judgments; certain ERISA violations; the occurrence of a change of control; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or certain other documents executed in connection therewith.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated all remaining commitments of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement.


Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 14, 2026, the Company increased to $5.5 billion from $3.0 billion the maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”) which the Company may issue on a private placement basis under the commercial paper program it established on November 3, 2022 (the “Program”). Outside of reflecting such increase, no other changes were made to agreements entered into on November 3, 2022 to establish the Program other than updating the private placement memoranda for the Program.

Under the Program, the Company may issue Notes from time to time, and the proceeds of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes.

The maturities of the Notes will vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The face or principal amount of Notes outstanding under the Program at any time may not exceed $5.5 billion. The Notes will be sold at a discount from par or, alternatively, will be sold at par and bear interest at rates that will vary based on market conditions at the time of the issuance of the Notes. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered and sold except in compliance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 13, 2026, the Company held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). As further described in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”).

The Amended and Restated Plan was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on March 9, 2026 and became effective upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The Amended and Restated Plan (i) increased the number of shares authorized for issuance to employees, consultants and directors under the Amended and Restated Plan by 65,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, such that the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2023 Plan is 153,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) updated the plan for certain administrative changes.

A description of the material terms of the Amended and Restated Plan is set forth in the section titled “Item 4 - Approval of the Amendment and Restatement of the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan” included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company held its Annual Meeting on May 13, 2026. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the following five proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Proxy Statement:
