Thanks John, very interesting. I didn't realize that paying the debt is treated as a loss.

AMD will realize a capital loss in Q2'2000 by paying for tendered bonds, hopefully most of them.

---I assume you mean Q3.

Do you think the SSB downgrade will benefit (make it more attractive to holders) this bond offer?

John, thank you for a nice analysis.

Is there any guesses as to what percentage of the bond holders will accept this offer?

Am I correct to assume that a holder is better off not accepting the offer if he/she thinks there is no near term risk with regard to AMD? That is how I understand it.

Petz, Do you mean the premium paid to retire will be that portion of the bond retirment that is a capital loss? Or the entire portion is??? In that case borrowed money is income and I know that is not true, thus you must mean that just the premium for pre-mature redemption is a capital loss.

Bill
