The award distinguishes Spansion's outstanding support for Huawei based on
service and technological expertise, quality, responsiveness, delivery and
cost. This is a particularly noteworthy recognition for Spansion, reflecting
the company's strong history of customer relationships within Greater China
and building on a legacy of award-winning customer support for leading world
class OEMs.  The award acknowledges the company's dedication to providing
value-added Flash memory solutions and high levels of service to its customers
around the world. This is the first year Huawei has honored Spansion with this
award.

"China is a very strategic region for Spansion, and this award is a testament
to our commitment to deliver leading edge flash solutions supported by a
world-class customer support organization," said Tom Eby, executive vice
president of Spansion's Embedded Solutions Group (ESG). "Spansion is dedicated
to raising the bar for service and technical excellence, and providing more
value to help enable greater profitable growth for our customers globally."

Spansion has been supplying embedded Flash memory solutions, including
MirrorBit(R) NOR GL and Spansion AL products, to Huawei since 2003. The
MirrorBit GL family has since become an industry standard Flash memory product
family trusted by more than 1500 embedded customers worldwide. Longstanding
relationships with strategic companies like Huawei have been instrumental to
the growth of MirrorBit-based products, which represented 30 percent of total
NOR Flash memory shipments in 2008, according to global research and analysis
firm iSuppli Corporation.

"The dedicated support we receive from Spansion is instrumental to our
success," says Michael Bi, Director of Huawei's Commodity Expert Group (CEG). 
"That's something that can make or break our own ability to provide the level
of service we give to our customers. We are proud to recognize Spansion for
their exceptional support in helping us achieve our goals."
