Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 24, 2005, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara, purportedly on behalf of Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. ("SST") against several current directors and officers of SST. Amberger v. Yeh, et al., Case No. 105CV034387 (Cal. Super. Ct., Santa Clara Co.). The factual allegations of the complaint are substantially identical to those contained in a recently-filed class action lawsuit in federal court. The state complaint asserts claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty and violations of the California Corporations Code. SST intends to take all appropriate action in response to the lawsuit.
