Item 7.Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Attached as Exhibits 99.1 through 99.7 are slides presented by Agere on November 12, 2003.

The presentations contain information about our financial performance, excluding gain or loss from the sale of, and income or loss from, discontinued operations; net restructuring and other charges; amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangibles; net gain or loss from the sale of operating assets and cumulative effect of an accounting change. While not a substitute for information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., we believe that this information will help investors to more easily understand our operating financial performance, especially in light of the significant restructuring activities we have undertaken recently and better enable them to form views of our potential financial performance in the future. In addition, in past public disclosures, we have presented financial information excluding amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangibles and net gain or loss from the sale of operating assets when these amounts were unusually large and continued to do so to facilitate the comparison of financial information for different fiscal periods. These amounts are excluded from the information shown in the presentations to maintain consistency with prior public disclosures.
