Plaintiffs Jacqueline Dolby and Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust ("Plaintiffs"), 

individual defendants Lisa T. Su, Devinder Kumar, John E. Caldwell, Nicholas M. Donofrio, 

Ahmed Yahia, Nora M. Denzel, Michael J. Inglis, Joseph A. Householder, John W. Marren, 

Abhi Y. Talwalkar, Mark Durcan, and Bruce L. Claflin (the "Individual Defendants"), and 

nominal defendant Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD" or the "Company," together with 

Individual Defendants, the "Defendants") (Plaintiffs and Defendants are collectively referred to 

herein as the "Parties"), hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

WHEREAS, on June 14 and 26, 2018, two stockholder derivative actions were filed in 

this Court, on behalf of AMD; 

WHEREAS, on July 6, 2018, the Parties submitted a stipulation and proposed order 

consolidating the two related stockholder derivative actions and appointing lead counsel (Dkt. 

No. 8); 

WHEREAS, on July 12, 2018, the Court consolidated the two stockholder derivative 

actions (this "Derivative Action") (Dkt. No. 10); 

WHEREAS, the deadline for Plaintiffs to file a consolidated complaint in the Derivative 

Action is August 13, 2018; 

WHEREAS, there is a related securities class action pending in the Northern District of 

California before the Honorable Edward J. Davila, captioned Kim v. Advanced Micro Devices, 

Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-00321-EJD, (the "Securities Class Action"); 

WHEREAS, a briefing schedule has been ordered for anticipated motions to dismiss in 

the Securities Class Action providing for a hearing date on the motions to dismiss of January 17, 

2019; 

WHEREAS, while this is a derivative action asserting different claims for liability on 

behalf of (rather than against) AMD, it involves some of the same parties as and some factual 

overlap with the Securities Class Action; 

WHEREAS, while Plaintiffs believe that that the derivative claims are not dependent on 

and have merit independent of the Securities Class Action and Defendants do not agree, the

Parties agree a ruling on the scheduled motions to dismiss in the Securities Class Action may 

help inform the manner in which the Derivative Action proceeds; 

WHEREAS, counsel for the Parties have met and conferred and, given the circumstances 

of this case, in the interests of judicial efficiency, and to preserve the Company's and the Court's 

resources, agree that a stay of this Derivative Action on the terms set forth herein, subject to this 

Court's approval, until a decision is rendered on the scheduled motions to dismiss in the 

Securities Class Action, is appropriate and in the Company's best interests; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs shall be permitted to file a consolidated complaint 

notwithstanding the agreed-to stay, but Defendants need not respond to any such complaint 

during the pendency of the stay; and 

 NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned Parties hereby stipulate and agree, and 

respectfully request that the Court enter an Order as follows: 

1. In light of the foregoing considerations, good cause exists for a stay of this 

Derivative Action pending a ruling on the scheduled motions to dismiss in the Securities Class 

Action. 

2. All proceedings and deadlines in this action are stayed until further order of the 

Court or except as otherwise provided herein. 

3. The Parties will file a joint status report with the Court every 120 days with an 

update regarding the proceedings in the Securities Class Action. 

4. Defendants' counsel shall inform Plaintiffs' counsel of the occurrence of the ruling 

on the motions to dismiss in the Securities Class Action within seven (7) days of such 

occurrence. 

5. Within twenty-one (21) days after the ruling on the motions to dismiss in the 

Securities Class Action, the Parties in this Derivative Action will meet and confer in good faith 

to determine a schedule for further proceedings in the Derivation Action, and will submit a 

proposed scheduling stipulation for this Court's review and approval.

documents to any other AMD stockholder in connection with another stockholder derivative 

action on behalf of AMD based on the materially same set of facts alleged in this Derivative 

Action, the Company agrees to offer to provide those documents to Plaintiffs pursuant to the 

same confidentiality and use terms previously agreed to by the Company and such other

stay, which may be opposed by any other party.
