Key Financial Metrics
This filing reports a specific transaction rather than periodic financial results. Key metrics related to the event include:
- Cash Consideration Received: $100 million paid at closing.
- Potential Additional Consideration: Contingent payments based on revenue milestones achieved by InvenSense over 12 months.

Material Changes
The primary material change is the divestiture of the microphone product line, which was primarily used in consumer applications. This transaction removes the associated assets and intellectual property from ADI's balance sheet and transfers the related support operations to InvenSense.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary: The transaction was executed pursuant to a Master Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement. A press release detailing the completion was issued on November 1, 2013.
Contingencies: Future cash inflows are contingent upon InvenSense achieving specific revenue milestones related to microphone sales within the next 12 months.
Risks: The filing does not explicitly detail new risks, though the divestiture alters the company's product portfolio by exiting the consumer microphone market segment.
