Of the shares of common stock of Ramtron International Corporation ("Ramtron") to which this Form 3 relates, 1,667,584 were previously owned by the Reporting Person, and 23,290,666 were acquired by Rain for $3.10 per share in a tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of Ramtron upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 21, 2012, which was annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO filed by the Reporting Person with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 21, 2012, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Offer"). An additional 559,785 shares were tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. |

(Continued in Footnote 3) |
