Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 15, 2017, Mr. Martin Edelman resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) after four years of service on the AMD Board. Mr. Edelman's resignation did not arise from any disagreement with the Company but is due to his other professional commitments and demands on his time.

Effective February 16, 2017, the Board of the Company appointed Mr. John Marren as an independent director to the Board. In addition, Mr. Marren was appointed to the Audit and Finance and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board.

Mr. Marren will receive compensation based on the same policies as the Company’s other non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2016. On February 16, 2017, Mr. Marren was granted 15,693 restricted stock units. The grant becomes fully vested and exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

A copy of the press release announcing these items is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
