TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. CLOSES $155 MILLION
CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES OFFERING
Company to Host Conference Call to Discuss Closing
of Senior Convertible Note Offering
SANTA ANA, California — May 14, 2008 — TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI) today announced the closing of its offering of $155 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 in an underwritten public offering.
Interest on the notes will be paid semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a rate of 3.25% per year. In certain circumstances, the notes will be convertible into cash up to their principal amount and into shares of TTM’s common stock with respect to any conversion value above their principal amount, initially at the rate of 62.6449 shares for each $1,000 of conversion value in excess of the principal amount of notes. Holders of the notes may require TTM to repurchase the notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change.
In connection with the offering, TTM entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions, which are intended to reduce the potential dilution to TTM’s common stockholders upon any conversion of the notes.
TTM has been advised that, in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions, the counterparties to those transactions or their affiliates may enter into various derivative transactions with respect to TTM’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of TTM’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. The counterparties or their affiliates may also enter into or unwind various derivative transactions with respect to TTM’s common stock and purchase or sell TTM’s common stock in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period relating to the conversion of a note).

TTM used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay in full its term loan under its senior credit facility and to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions. This cost was partially offset by proceeds that TTM received from the sale of the warrants. TTM expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions.
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Investment Bank acted as joint book-running managers for the offering. TTM has granted the underwriters the right to purchase up to an additional $20 million aggregate principal amount of the notes within 30 days solely to cover over-allotments. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional notes, TTM expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of additional notes to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions. TTM also expects to enter into additional warrant transactions, which would result in additional proceeds to TTM.
