This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 16, 2015 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, including that certain Amendment No. 1 filed on January 4, 2016 and that certain Amendment No. 2 filed on January 11, 2016, the “Schedule TO”), by Microsemi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Microsemi”) and Lois Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Offeror”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsemi. This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Offeror to exchange for each outstanding share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of PMC-Sierra, Inc. (“PMC”), a Delaware corporation, (a) $9.22 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, and (b) 0.0771 shares of Microsemi common stock, par value $0.20 per share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Microsemi common stock, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (together, the “transaction consideration”) (collectively, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange (as defined below) and the related Letter of Transmittal (as defined below), and together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “offer”). This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Microsemi and the Offeror. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

Microsemi has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 on December 16, 2015 and Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 on January 4, 2016 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), relating to the offer and sale of shares of Microsemi common stock to be issued to holders of shares of PMC common stock validly tendered into the offer and not properly withdrawn. The terms and conditions of the offer are set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, which is a part of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement and filed as Exhibit (a)(4) hereto (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related letter of transmittal, which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) hereto (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal”). For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, including in response to Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, shall refer to the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forming part of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information contained in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal, including any prospectus supplement or other supplement thereto related to the offer hereafter filed with the SEC by Microsemi or the Offeror, is hereby expressly incorporated into this Schedule TO by reference in response to items 1 through 11 of this Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in this Schedule TO.

All information regarding the offer as set forth in the Schedule TO, including all exhibits and annexes thereto that were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided for herein and to the extent amended and supplemented by the exhibits filed herewith.

Items 1 through 11.

Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

“The offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of January 14, 2016. Based on information provided by the exchange agent, as of the expiration date, 167,068,483 shares of PMC common stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the offer, representing approximately 81.32% of the then outstanding shares of PMC common stock. The number of shares of PMC common stock tendered into the offer satisfies the minimum tender condition to the offer. All conditions to the offer having been satisfied, Offeror accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all shares of PMC common stock validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the offer. As a result of its acceptance of the shares of PMC common stock tendered in the offer, Offeror has sufficient voting power to approve the merger without the affirmative vote of the stockholders of PMC pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Subject to the satisfaction of the remaining conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Microsemi and Offeror intend to complete the acquisition of PMC through the merger as promptly as practicable without a meeting of stockholders of PMC in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the effective time of the merger, each share of PMC common stock outstanding (other than shares of PMC common stock directly owned by PMC, Microsemi, Offeror, or any other subsidiary of Microsemi which will be canceled and shall cease to exist, and shares of PMC common stock held by stockholders that are entitled to and have properly demanded appraisal of such shares of PMC common stock under the DGCL) will be converted into

the right to receive the transaction consideration. Following the merger, the shares of PMC common stock will no longer be listed on NASDAQ Global Market. On January 15, 2016, Microsemi issued a press release announcing the results and expiration of the offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(L), and the information set forth in the press release is incorporated herein by reference.”
