Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 25, 2016, Microsoft Corporation (the “Company”) announced plans to streamline the company’s smartphone hardware business. This will result in the reduction of up to 1,850 positions, with 1,350 of the reductions to come at Microsoft Mobile Oy in Finland. In the quarter ending June 30, 2016 Microsoft will record an impairment and restructuring charge of approximately $950 million, of which approximately $200 million will relate to severance payments. The actions associated with today’s announcement are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the calendar year and fully completed by July 2017, the end of the company’s next fiscal year.

A copy of Microsoft’s press release is provided as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Note about forward-looking statements . Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled “Risk Factors” of our Forms 10-K and 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
