Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to deregister certain securities
originally registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on December 8, 2005 (Commission File
No. 333-130209 and referred to herein as the Registration Statement) with respect to shares of
the Registrants common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), thereby registered
for offer or sale pursuant to the Conexant Systems, Inc. 1999 Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the Plan). Prior to giving effect to the Registrants June 30, 2008 reverse stock split, a
total of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock were initially registered for issuance under the
Registration Statement.
Effective on April 19, 2011, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of February 20, 2011, by and between the Registrant, Gold Holdings, Inc.
(Parent) and Gold Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), Merger
Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the Merger) with the Registrant surviving as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock was
converted into the right to receive $2.40 in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable
withholding tax.
As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated the offering of the Common Stock
pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement, and no
future awards will be made under the Plan. The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Form S-8 Registration Statement is to deregister any and all of the previously registered shares of
Common Stock that remain available for issuance under the Plan (the Plan Shares). The Plan
Shares are hereby deregistered.
