Item 5. Other Events.
------------
Zilog, Inc. ("Zilog"), TPG Partners II, L.P. ("TPG") and TPG Zeus
Acquisition Corporation ("Merger Sub") have entered into Amendment Number One to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 18, 1997 (the
"Amendment"), amending the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 20,
1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which TPG agreed to acquire
substantially all of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of Zilog (the "Merger"). The Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1
and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Amendment, among other things, reduces the per share cash merger
consideration from $25.00 per share to $20.00 per share, expands Zilog's ability
to negotiate with unsolicited third parties regarding competing takeover
proposals, eliminates TPG's ability to terminate the Merger Agreement based on
any material adverse change in Zilog's business and extends the date by which
the Merger must be consummated to February 28, 1998. Zilog has issued a press
release, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the execution of
the Amendment and describing the principal terms thereof.
Additionally, the Stockholders Voting Agreement dated as of July 20,
1997 between TPG, on the one hand, and Warburg, Pincus Capital Company, L.P.
("Warburg") and Warburg, Pincus & Co., on the other hand, was amended as of
November 18, 1997 (the "Amended Voting Agreement"). The Amended Voting
Agreement, among other things, reduces to 375,000 the number of shares of Common
Stock which Warburg must elect to retain as equity in the surviving corporation
and provides that such number shall be reduced on an absolute basis by the
number of shares of Common Stock which other stockholders of Zilog elect to so
retain. In the event that stockholders of Zilog other than Warburg elect to
retain more than 375,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, Warburg will
not be required to retain any shares and such stockholders will experience
proration. The Amended Voting Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is
incorporated by reference herein.

and restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:
"(a) The Company shall, and shall direct and cause its
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents to,
immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any parties that
may be ongoing with respect to a Takeover Proposal (as hereinafter
defined). The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its officers,
directors or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor,
attorney, accountant or other representative or agent retained by it or
any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit,
initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing
information) any inquiries or the making of any proposal which
constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover
Proposal or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding any Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that if, at any
time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the
Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after
consultation with outside counsel, that it would be consistent with its
fiduciary responsibilities to the Company's stockholders under
applicable law, the Company may, in response to a Takeover Proposal
which was not solicited subsequent to the date hereof, (x) furnish
information with respect to the Company to any person pursuant to a
confidentiality agreement substantially identical to the
Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 6.2 hereof) and (y)
participate in discussions, investigations and/or negotiations
regarding such Takeover Proposal. The Company will promptly notify
Parent in the event of the occurrence of any matter referred to in the
foregoing proviso. For purposes of this Agreement, "Takeover Proposal"
means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person relating to any
direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 25% or more of the
aggregate assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or 25% or more of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock then
outstanding or any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated
would result in any person beneficially owning 25% or more of the
voting power of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding or any
merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company,
other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement."
SECTION 2.9. Section 5.2(b) of the Merger Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:
"(b) Except as set forth in this Section 5.2, neither the
Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i)
withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a
manner adverse to Parent, the approval or recommendation by such Board
of Directors or such committee of the Merger or this Agreement;
provided that, the Board of Directors may, (A) in response to any
Takeover
-5-
<PAGE>
Proposal, suspend such recommendation pending its analysis of
such Takeover Proposal or (B) at any time prior to the receipt of the
Company Stockholder Approval, modify or withdraw such recommendation if
the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that a
Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined) and,
after consultation with outside counsel, that it would be consistent
with its fiduciary responsibilities to so modify or withdraw such
recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to
approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal or (iii) cause the Company
to enter into any acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (an
"Acquisition Agreement") related to any Takeover Proposal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to the receipt
of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the
Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
counsel, that it would be consistent with its fiduciary
responsibilities to the Company's stockholders under applicable law,
the Board of Directors of the Company may approve or recommend a
Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement, but in each case,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof and only at a time that
is after the second business day following Parent's receipt of written
notice (a "Notice of Superior Proposal") advising Parent that the Board
of Directors of the Company has received a Takeover Proposal that may
constitute a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and
conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making
such Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Superior
Proposal" means any proposal determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company in good faith, after consultation with outside legal
counsel, to be a bona fide proposal and made by a third party to
acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash,
property and/or securities, more than 50% of the combined voting power
of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding or all or substantially
all the assets of the Company and otherwise on terms which the Board of
Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment, after
consultation with outside counsel and with a financial advisor of
nationally recognized reputation, to be more favorable to the Company's
stockholders than the Merger."
SECTION 2.10. Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:
"SECTION 5.3 Third Party Standstill Agreements. During the
---------------------------------
period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, the
Company shall not, except in connection with the making of a Takeover
Proposal, terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any
confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party (other than any involving Parent) unless
the Company's Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith,
after consultation with outside counsel, that such release of any third
party or amendment, modification or waiver of such provisions is
necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company's
stockholders under applicable law."
SECTION 2.11. Section 6.12(a) of the Merger Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:
-6-
<PAGE>
"(a) With respect to any officer or employee who is covered by
a severance policy or plan separate from the standard severance policy
for the Company's employees (all of which separate severance policies
or plans are incorporated in the terms of the employment agreements
listed in item 6.12 of the Company Letter), the Surviving Corporation
shall maintain (or shall cause to be maintained) such separate policy
or plan as in effect as of the date hereof, and, as to all other
officers and employees, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain (or
shall cause to be maintained) the Company's standard severance policy
as in effect as of the date hereof until at least June 30, 1998;
provided, however, that with respect to any severance policy maintained
pursuant to any statutory requirement, such policy shall continue to be
maintained in compliance with the applicable statute."
SECTION 2.12. A new Section 6.20 shall be added to the Merger
Agreement, which shall read in its entirety as follows:

Surviving Corporation shall adopt a resolution providing for the
creation of the series of Non-Voting 13.5% Pay-in-Kind Preferred Stock,
stated value $100.00 per share, of the Surviving Corporation into which
the shares of capital stock of Sub are to be converted in the Merger."
SECTION 2.13. Section 8.1(b)(i) of the Merger Agreement shall be
amended and restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:
"(b) by either Parent or the Company:
(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated by
February 28, 1998; provided that the terminating party shall
not have breached in any material respect its obligations
under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately
contributed to the failure to consummate the Merger by
February 28, 1998;"
SECTION 2.14. Section 8.1(c) of the Merger Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety, and shall be replaced by the following:
"(c) by Parent or Sub if: (A) as of such time of
determination, any of the representations or warranties of the Company
set forth in this Agreement that are qualified as to materiality shall
not be true and correct in any respect or any such representations or
warranties that are not so qualified shall not be true and correct in
any material respect, or (B) the Company shall have failed to perform
in any material respect any material obligation or to comply in any
material respect with any material agreement or covenant of the Company
to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement and, in the

cured within 60 days after the giving of written notice to the Company,
and, in the case of (B) such failure cannot be or has not been cured
within 20 days after the giving of written notice to the Company;"

ZILOG AND TPG AMEND MERGER AGREEMENT
Campbell, Calif.--Nov. 19, 1997--Zilog, Inc. (NYSE:ZLG), announced
today that, in light of its recent and current financial performance, its
previously announced merger agreement with Texas Pacific Group has been amended.
The amendment reduces the per share cash merger consideration from $25 per share
to $20 and effects certain other modifications to the rights and obligations of
the parties. Zilog expects that its revenues and earnings for the quarter ending
December 31, 1997 will likely be below the revenues and earnings for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997.
The agreement continues to be subject to certain conditions, including
the approval of Zilog's stockholders and the completion of financing in
accordance with commitment letters issued by Goldman, Sachs & Co. to TPG or on
other reasonable terms. It is expected that Zilog will mail a proxy statement to
its stockholders in December for a special meeting to consider the merger to be
held in January or February 1998.
Under the original agreement, 400,000 shares of Zilog common stock were
to have been retained by current shareholders as shares of the surviving
corporation, representing 10% of the voting power and 6.7% of the total common
equity of the surviving corporation. Under the amended agreement, 375,000 shares
of Zilog common stock will be retained by current shareholders, representing 10%
of the voting power and 7.5% of the total common equity.
