Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
At the annual meeting of stockholders on September 5, 2008, the stockholders of IXYS Corporation ("IXYS") did not approve the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"). Later that day, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of IXYS withdrew and terminated the 2008 Plan.
Since the stockholders of IXYS did not approve the 2008 Plan, the limitation on further grants under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan") that had been previously approved by the Board ended by its terms and all of the remaining shares reserved under the 1999 Plan that were not allocated to existing grants became available for grant. Equity grants may be made under the 1999 Plan until its expiration in May 2009.
