Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") on May 16, 2025 (the “Original Report”). This Amendment amends the Original Report to (i) correct the statement regarding approval of the proposal to amend and restate the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers as permitted by Delaware law and to make a non-substantive change (the “Officer Exculpation Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) disclose that the Company has filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a corrected Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”).

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

At the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 14, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, the Officer Exculpation Amendment Proposal. The Original Report disclosed the correct vote tallies with respect to the Officer Exculpation Amendment Proposal. However, the Original Report disclosed that the Officer Exculpation Amendment Proposal was approved by stockholders when the Officer Exculpation Amendment Proposal was not approved.

On June 3, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that removes the amendments related to the Officer Exculpation Amendment Proposal. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation solely reflects the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 2.25 billion shares to 4.0 billion shares, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Other than the foregoing, no other changes have been made to the Original Report, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report.

The total number of shares of stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is Four Billion and One Million (4,001,000,000), of which Four Billion (4,000,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of One Cent ($0.01) per share and One Million (1,000,000) shares shall be Serial Preferred Stock of the par value of Ten Cents ($0.10) per share.

The designations and powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each class of stock of the corporation shall be as follows:

(A) Serial Preferred Stock

(1) The Serial Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and shall have such voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as may be fixed by this Certificate of Incorporation or by resolution of the Board of Directors providing for the issue of each such series. The Board of Directors is vested with authority to fix variations in voting powers and in any of the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as being between series of Serial Preferred Stock including, without limitation, variations in the following:

(a) The distinctive designation of each series and the number of shares which shall constitute each series, which number may be increased (except where otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in creating such series) or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) from time to time by like action of the Board of Directors;

(b) The annual rate of dividends payable on shares of each series, the conditions upon which, and the dates when, such dividends shall be payable and the dates (if any) from which dividends shall be cumulative;

(c) The time or times when and the price or prices at which shares of each series shall be redeemable;

(d)	The obligation, if any, of the corporation to acquire shares or each series for retirement as a sinking fund;
(e)	The granting, denial or limitation of voting rights of shares of each series;

(f) The amount or amounts per share of each series payable in the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation; and

(g) The rights, if any, of the holders of shares of each series to convert such shares into or exchange such shares for Common Stock or shares of any other series of Serial Preferred Stock and the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, including any provisions for the subsequent adjustment of any such conversion or exchange rights.

Subject to variations in the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as between series of Serial Preferred Stock fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with this Paragraph (A)(1), each share of Serial Preferred Stock shall be equal to every other share of Serial Preferred Stock.

The voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of each series of Serial Preferred Stock shall before the issuance of each series of Serial Preferred Stock, be set forth in a certificate filed pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(B) Common Stock

(1) After the requirements with respect to preferential dividends upon all classes and series of stock entitled thereto shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment and after the corporation shall have complied with all requirements, if any with respect to the setting aside of sums as a sinking fund or for a redemption account on any class of stock, then and not otherwise, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

(2) After distribution in full of the preferential amounts to be distributed to the holders of all classes and series of stock entitled thereto in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the corporation.

(3) Each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of such stock held by him, subject, however, to such special voting rights by class as are or may be granted to holders of Serial Preferred Stock with respect to the election of a limited number of directors upon default by the corporation in the payment of dividends of such Serial Preferred Stock.

FIFTH. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:

To make, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation.

When and as authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of two- thirds of the stock issued and outstanding having voting power given at a stockholders’ meeting duly called upon such notice as is required by statute, or when authorized by the written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the voting stock issued and outstanding, to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the property and assets of the corporation, including its good will and its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration, which may consist in whole or in part of money or property including shares of stock in, and/or other securities of, any other corporation or corporations, as the Board of Directors shall deem expedient and for the best of interests of the corporation.

SIXTH. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the corporation. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the corporation shall so provide.

SEVENTH. The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this certificate of incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

EIGHTH. A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

If the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability or a director of the corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware General Corporation Law. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the stockholders of the corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the corporation for acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by Linda Lam, its Assistant Secretary this 3rd day of June, 2025.
