                                                  Succeeds retiring Steve Thorsen

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 20, 2018 - Micron Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) announced today that the company has appointed Mike Bokan as
senior vice president of Worldwide Sales, effective Oct. 1, 2018. Bokan succeeds Steve Thorsen, who is retiring from Micron after 30 years
with the company but will remain as an adviser through early November 2018 to ensure a smooth transition. Bokan is being promoted to
senior vice president and will report directly to Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra.

“On behalf of the company, I want to thank Steve for his dedication to Micron’s success over the last three decades,” Mehrotra said. “He has
been instrumental to the company’s tremendous growth over the years. During his tenure as head of Worldwide Sales, the company has
enjoyed record sales, culminating in fiscal year 2018 revenue of over $30 billion. We wish Steve the very best in this next chapter of his life.”

“I am proud of my long career at Micron and have enjoyed building strong relationships with our customers around the world,” Thorsen said.
“Mike and I have worked closely for many years, and I am confident he will be highly successful in taking on the leadership of the
Worldwide Sales organization .”

Bokan is currently corporate vice president of Worldwide Sales at Micron. He joined the company in 1996 and held various sales
management positions before moving to Micron’s Crucial division, where he eventually became general manager. In 2003, Bokan took on the
role of director of Sales for Micron Technology. In 2007 he was promoted to senior director of Sales before becoming vice president of
Worldwide OEM Sales in 2008 and corporate vice president of Worldwide Sales in 2018.

“Mike has been a great part of our sales leadership team,” Mehrotra said. “ He has developed deep and trusted relationships with our OEM
and hyperscale customers, as well as with our distribution partners. This is a natural next step for him, and we look forward to his leadership
in driving our sales organization.”

“I am honored to follow in Steve’s footsteps and continue to broaden our market reach as memory and storage become increasingly critical to
our customers,” Bokan said. “Micron is very well-positioned to take advantage of the growing demand for our products and solutions. I look
forward to helping lead the company to the next level.”

Bokan earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Colorado State University.
