ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On January 16, 2001, Microchip Technology Incorporated ("Microchip")
completed its acquisition of TelCom Semiconductor, Inc ("TelCom"). Under the
terms of the acquisition agreement, each share of TelCom common stock was
exchanged for 0.53 of a share of Microchip common stock. Microchip issued
approximately 9.8 million shares of Microchip common stock and assumed all stock
options held by TelCom employees. The acquisition was structured as a tax-free
reorganization and is being accounted as a pooling of interests. Prior to the
acquisition, no material relationship existed between TelCom and Microchip or
any of its affiliates, any director or officer of Microchip, or any associate of
any such director or officer.

     TelCom designs, develops and markets a diversified portfolio of high
performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for a wide variety of
applications in the wireless communications, networking, computer and industrial
markets.
