 Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Lam Research Corporation (the “Company”) on November 12, 2015 (the “Prior 8-K”), on November 10, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date thereof, the “Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Goldman Sachs Bank, USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC and Citibank, N.A., as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, the lenders party thereto and other agents named therein. The Credit Agreement provides for a $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
On October 13, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which amends the Company’s Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
Among other things, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million increase to the Company’s revolving credit facility, from $750 million under the Credit Agreement to $1.25 billion under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also modifies the date of maturity of the revolving credit facility from November 10, 2020 to October 13, 2022. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an expansion option that would allow the Company, subject to certain requirements, to request an increase in the facility of up to an additional $600 million, for a potential total commitment of $1.85 billion. Other than as disclosed in this paragraph, the material terms of the Amended Credit Agreement are substantially the same as the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of its terms and is qualified in all respects by reference to the complete text of the Amendment, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The Credit Agreement is summarized in more detail in the Prior 8-K, which summary is qualified in all respects by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Prior 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference, in each case as amended or superseded by the disclosure provided herein and the full text of the Amendment.
 Item 2.02.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
