Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (Mindspeed 
Technologies, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par Value and the Associated 
Preferred Share Purchase Rights)

December 11, 2003.
    Mindspeed Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (``Issuer''), 
has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.01 par value, and the associated Preferred Share 
Purchase Rights (``Securities''), from listing and registration on the 
American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer intends to withdraw its Securities from listing on the 
Amex and to list its Securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 
National Market System (``Nasdaq NMS''). The Issuer believes that 
listing and trading of the Securities on Nasdaq NMS would provide, 
among other things, increased visibility to technology investors, 
increased liquidity for the Securities and increased volume of trading 
in the Securities; and that as a technology company, the Issuer would 
benefit from trading in a market where many of the Issuer's peer 
companies are traded. The Issuer states that it expects to commence 
trading on the Nasdaq NMS on December 15, 2003.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's 
rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from 
listing and registration.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on the Amex and from registration under section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be 
registered under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with 
the rules of the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the 
Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on 
the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission

determines to order a hearing on the matter.
