Friday, June 11, 2010

SCHAUMBURG, IL – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that approximately $138,183,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.22% Debentures due 2097 were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m. EDT on June 7, 2010, the Expiration Date for its previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of such debt securities (the “Any and All Offer”).

Motorola has accepted for payment all debt securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Any and All Offer and expects to make payment for such debt securities in same-day funds on June 8, 2010.

Motorola also announced that it has increased the combined aggregate principal amount of debt securities that it is offering to purchase in the Any and All Offer and the Dutch Auction Offer (together, the “Offers”) from $400 million to $500 million (as increased, the “Tender Cap”). Except as amended by this press release, all other terms and conditions of the Offers as described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 24, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and related Letter of Transmittal remain unchanged.

Motorola has set the maximum principal amount of debt that may be purchased pursuant to the Dutch Auction Offer as $361,817,000. Such maximum amount is equal to the difference between the new Tender Cap of $500 million and the principal amount of debt purchased in the Any and All Offer. The aggregate principal amount of each series of debt securities that has been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Dutch Auction Offer as of 5:00 p.m. EDT on June 7, 2010 (the “Early Tender Date”) is set forth in the table below.

Because the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the debt securities tendered pursuant to the Dutch Auction Offer as of the Early Tender Date, when withdrawal rights terminated, exceeds the Tender Cap, such debt securities, if accepted for purchase, will be purchased on a pro rata basis, and debt securities not purchased will be returned to the holders.

The Dutch Auction Offer will expire at 12:00 Midnight EDT on June 21, 2010, unless extended. Holders of debt securities subject to the Dutch Auction Offer who validly tender their debt securities after the Early Tender Date and before the Dutch Auction Offer Expiration Date will only be eligible to receive an amount equal to the applicable Dutch Auction Offer Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of debt securities accepted for purchase pursuant to the Dutch Auction Offer.

The complete terms and conditions of the Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase, as amended hereby, and the related Letter of Transmittal. Motorola has retained J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. to serve as the Lead Dealer Managers for the Offers. J.P.
