PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ON Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: ONNN) today announced it has recently repurchased approximately $34 million aggregate principal amount of its zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes at approximately 94 percent of par value using approximately $32 million in cash. Under the now completed Board of Directors’ authorized debt repurchase program, the company retired a total of approximately $100 million in face value of its zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes in the first and second quarters of 2009.
“As of the end of the first quarter of 2009, we had approximately $402 million of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet,” said Donald Colvin, ON Semiconductor executive vice president and CFO. “Aggressively managing costs during this challenging economic period has allowed ON Semiconductor to continue generating positive cash flow from operating activities and enables the company to pro-actively reduce the overall leverage of the company.

We remain committed to improving the capital structure of the company and continue to examine opportunities to improve shareholder value.”
