[1] Weighted-average imputed rate of 4.3% and 4.1% as of August 28, 2014 and August 29, 2013, respectively.

[2] Weighted-average imputed rate of 4.7% and 4.7% as of August 28, 2014 and August 29, 2013, respectively.

[3] We have either the obligation or the option to pay cash for the aggregate amount due upon conversion for all of our convertible notes. Since it is our current intent to settle in cash the principal amount of all of our convertible notes upon conversion, the dilutive effect of such notes on earnings per share is computed under the treasury stock method.

[4] Micron has either the obligation or the option to pay cash for the aggregate amount due upon conversion for all of its convertible notes. Since it is Micron's current intent to settle in cash the principal amount of all of its convertible notes upon conversion, the dilutive effect of such notes on earnings per share is computed under the treasury stock method.

[5] Amount recorded for 2014 includes the debt and equity components, which was reclassified as a result of our obligation to settle the conversions of the 2031B Notes.

[6] Amount recorded for 2014 includes the debt and equity components, which was reclassified as a result of Micron's obligation to settle the conversions of the 2031B Notes.

[7] Since the closing price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading day period ending on June 30, 2014 exceeded 130% of the initial conversion price per share, holders have the right to convert their notes at any time during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2014. The closing price of our common stock also exceeded the thresholds for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2014; therefore, these notes are convertible by the holders through December 31, 2014.

[8] Since the closing price of Micron's common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading day period ending on June 30, 2014 exceeded 130% of the initial conversion price per share, holders have the right to convert their notes at any time during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2014. The closing price of Micron's common stock also exceeded the thresholds for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2014; therefore, these notes are convertible by the holders through December 31, 2014.

[9] As a result of these notes being convertible at the option of the holder through September 30, 2014, and because the terms of these notes would require us to pay cash for the principal amount of any converted notes, amounts are classified as current.

[10] As a result of these notes being convertible at the option of the holder through September 30, 2014, and because the terms of these notes would require Micron to pay cash for the principal amount of any converted notes, amounts are classified as current.

[11] As holders had elected to convert these notes and we elected to settle the conversions in cash, net carrying amount for 2014 included the debt and equity components, which was reclassified as a result of our obligation to settle the conversions of the 2031B Notes.

[12] The original principal amount of $820 million accretes up to $917 million in November 2028 and $1.03 billion at maturity in 2043.

[13] Holders have the right to convert all or a portion of their notes at a date or dates earlier than the contractual maturity if, during any calendar quarter, the closing price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is more than 130% of the initial conversion price.

[14] Based on our closing share price of $32.81 as of August 28, 2014.

[15] Expected term for amortization of the remaining debt discount as of August 28, 2014. The expected term of the 2031B Notes was not applicable because substantially all of the holders had exercised their option to convert their notes, which were settled in cash in the first quarter of 2015.
