PROXY STATEMENT
---------------------
APRIL 16, 2001
The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of
Silicon Image, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for use at the 2001 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders to be held at our headquarters located at 1060 East Arques Ave.,
Sunnyvale, California, on Tuesday, May 22, 2001, at 2 p.m., local time. Only
holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on March 26,
2001, which is the record date, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
At the close of business on March 26, 2001, we had 54,224,304 shares of common
stock outstanding and entitled to vote. A majority of such shares, present in
person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy were first
mailed to stockholders on or about April 16, 2001. An annual report for the year
ended December 31, 2000 is enclosed with the Proxy Statement. Unless otherwise
indicated, all amounts in this Proxy Statement reflect the two-for-one split of
the common stock of Silicon Image which became effective on August 18, 2000.
VOTING RIGHTS AND REQUIRED VOTE
Holders of Silicon Image common stock are entitled to one vote for each
share held as of the above record date.
For Proposal No. 1, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of
the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the
Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Proposal
No. 2 requires for approval the affirmative vote of a majority of all
outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote. Proposal No. 3 requires for
approval the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of common stock present
in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on
the proposal. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed
for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative and negative votes and
abstentions. Abstentions will be counted towards a quorum and have the same
effect as negative votes with regard to Proposal Nos. 2 and 3. In the event that
a broker indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to
vote certain shares on a particular matter, such broker non-votes will also be
counted towards a quorum and will have the same effect as a negative vote with
respect to Proposal No. 2, but will not be counted in determining whether
Proposal No. 3 is approved.
VOTING OF PROXIES
The proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement is solicited on behalf of the
Board of Directors of Silicon Image for use at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders
are requested to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and promptly
return it in the enclosed envelope. All signed, returned proxies that are not
revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
However, returned signed proxies that give no instructions as to how they should
be voted on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting will be counted as votes
"for" such proposal, or in the case of the election of Class II directors, as a
vote "for" election to Class II of the Board of all the nominees presented by
the Board. In the event that sufficient votes in favor of the proposals are not
received by the date of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may
propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit further
solicitations of proxies. Any such adjournment would require
the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares present in person
or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION
The expenses of soliciting proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting will be
paid by Silicon Image. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other
soliciting materials, Silicon Image and/or its agents may also solicit proxies
by mail, telephone, telegraph or in person. Following the original mailing of
the proxies and other soliciting materials, Silicon Image will request that
brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders of its common stock
forward copies of the proxy and other soliciting materials to persons for whom
they hold shares of common stock and request authority for the exercise of
proxies. In such cases, Silicon Image, upon the request of the record holders,
will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. Georgeson Shareholder
Communications, Inc. will assist Silicon Image in obtaining the return of
proxies at an estimated cost to Silicon Image of $7,500.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has
the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting
prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by a writing
delivered to Silicon Image stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent
proxy that is signed by the person who signed the earlier proxy and is presented
at the Annual Meeting or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and voting in
person. Please note, however, that if a stockholder's shares are held of record
by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the
Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from
the broker, bank or other nominee confirming that stockholder's beneficial
ownership of the shares.
TELEPHONE OR INTERNET VOTING
For stockholders with shares registered in the name of a brokerage firm or
bank, a number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in a program for
shares held in "street name" that offers telephone and Internet voting options.
If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank participating
in this program, you may vote those shares by calling the telephone number
specified on your proxy or accessing the Internet website address specified on
your proxy instead of completing and signing the proxy itself. The giving of
such a telephonic or Internet proxy will not affect your right to vote in person
should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. Stockholders with shares
registered directly in their names with Mellon Investor Services, Silicon
Image's transfer agent, will not be able to vote using the telephone or
Internet.
The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate
stockholders' identities, to allow stockholders to give their voting
instructions and to confirm that stockholders' instructions have been recorded
properly. Stockholders voting via the Internet should understand that there may
be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet
access providers and telephone companies, that must be borne by the stockholder.

PROPOSAL NO. 1--ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Silicon Image's Board of Directors is presently comprised of six members.
Silicon Image's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes,
designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, with the number of directors in
each class to be divided as equally as reasonably possible. One class of
directors is elected by the stockholders at each annual meeting to serve until
the third succeeding annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected
and qualified. Keith McAuliffe and Douglas C. Spreng have been designated as
Class I directors, and replaced Herbert Chang and Sang-Chul Han, respectively,
who resigned from the Board of Directors in November 2000 and February 2001,
respectively. David A. Hodges and Ronald V. Schmidt have been designated as
Class II directors and David D. Lee and Andrew S. Rappaport have been designated
as Class III directors. The Class II directors will stand for reelection or
election at the Annual Meeting, the Class III directors will stand for
reelection or election at the 2002 annual meeting of stockholders and the
Class I directors will stand for reelection or election at the 2003 annual
meeting of stockholders. Unless otherwise provided by law, any vacancy on the
Board, including a vacancy created by an increase in the authorized number of
directors, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
directors then in office or by a sole remaining director. Any director so
elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the
class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until such director's
successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death,
resignation or removal.
Each of the nominees for election to Class II is currently a director of
Silicon Image and was previously elected by the stockholders. If elected at the
Annual Meeting, each of the nominees would serve until the 2004 annual meeting
of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until such
director's earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors will be elected by a
plurality of the votes of the shares of common stock present in person or
represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election
of directors. Shares represented by an executed proxy will be voted "for" the
election of the two nominees recommended by the Board unless the proxy is marked
in such a manner as to withhold authority so to vote. In the event that any
nominee for any reason is unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the
proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee as the present Board may
determine. Silicon Image is not aware of any nominee who will be unable to
serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION
OF EACH OF THE NOMINATED DIRECTORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
BOARD OF DIRECTORS. During fiscal year 2000, the Board met sixteen times,
including seven telephone conference meetings, and acted by written consent
once. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number
of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which he was a director)
and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which
such director served (held during the period that such director served).
Standing committees of the Board include an audit committee and a
compensation committee. The Board does not have a nominating committee or
committee performing similar functions.
AUDIT COMMITTEE. The audit committee consists of Dr. Hodges and
Mr. Rappaport. The audit committee met four times during fiscal year 2000,
including three telephone conference meetings. The audit committee reviews our
financial reporting process, our system of internal control, the audit process
and our process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations. The audit
committee also
5
reviews the performance of our external accountants, recommends to the Board the
appointment or discharge of our external accountants and confirms the
independence of our external accountants.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The compensation committee consists of
Mr. Rappaport and Dr. Schmidt, as well as Mr. Spreng, who was appointed to the
committee in February 2001. The compensation committee met once during fiscal
year 2000 and acted by written consent three times. The compensation committee
reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the compensation and benefits
of all officers, directors and consultants of Silicon Image and reviews general
policy relating to compensation and benefits. Except for grants under our 1999
Equity Incentive Plan made by the compensation committee by written consent on
February 29, 2000, April 14, 2000 and at a meeting on November 16, 2000, the
Board of Directors has continued to administer the issuance of stock options and
other awards under our 1999 Equity Incentive Plan and our 1999 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. The Board of Directors has also delegated to Mr. Lee the limited
authority to grant stock options to non-officer employees.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors of Silicon Image do not receive cash compensation for their
services as directors, but are reimbursed for their reasonable and necessary
expenses for attending board and board committee meetings. Except for
Messrs. McAuliffe and Spreng, who have not served continuously on the board or a
board committee for at least one year, all board members are eligible to receive
stock options pursuant to the discretionary option grant program in effect under
our 1999 Equity Incentive Plan.
Immediately following each annual meeting of our stockholders, each director
who is not an employee and whose direct pecuniary interest in our common stock
is less than 5% will automatically be granted an option under our 1999 Equity
Incentive Plan to purchase 20,000 shares if the director has served continuously
as a member of the board of directors for a period of at least one year, an
additional option for 10,000 shares if the director has served continuously on
the audit committee for a period of at least one year, and an additional option
for 10,000 shares if the director has served continuously on the compensation
committee for a period of at least one year. Each option will have an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
These annual grants will be immediately vested in full and will have a two-year
term, but will generally terminate three months following the date the
option-holder ceases to be a director or consultant.
On May 23, 2000, following the 2000 annual meeting or our stockholders, the
following option grants were made to our directors at that time pursuant to our
automatic annual grant program: Herbert Chang--an option for 20,000 shares and
an option for 10,000 shares; Andrew Rappaport--an option for 20,000 shares and
two options for 10,000 shares each; David Hodges--an option for 20,000 shares
and an option for 10,000 shares; and Ronald Schmidt--an option for 20,000 shares
and an option for 10,000 shares. Each of these options has an exercise price of
$19.50, the closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market on that date.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The compensation committee of Silicon Image's board of directors is
currently comprised of Messrs. Rappaport and Spreng and Dr. Schmidt. None of
these individuals has at any time been an officer or employee of Silicon Image.
None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or
compensation committee of any entity which has one or more executive officers
serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

PROPOSAL NO. 2--AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE
THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
On March 19, 2001, the Board of Directors of Silicon Image approved an
amendment to Silicon Image's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the authorized
number of shares of common stock of Silicon Image from 75,000,000 shares, $0.001
par value per share, to 150,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share. The
authorized number of shares of preferred stock will remain unchanged at
5,000,000. If the stockholders approve the proposed amendment, Silicon Image
will file with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of amendment
reflecting the increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock. On
February 28, 2001, 54,189,762 shares of Silicon Image common stock were issued
and outstanding, 9,621,792 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance
upon exercise of outstanding stock options, 3,758,866 shares were reserved for
future grants under Silicon Image's existing equity incentive plan and employee
stock purchase plan, and no shares of preferred stock were issued or
outstanding.
The Board believes that authorizing additional shares of common stock is
essential to provide Silicon Image with the flexibility it needs to meet
business needs and to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. The
proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock would
result in additional shares being available for stock splits and stock
dividends, stock issuances for other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions of
businesses or assets, increases in shares reserved for issuance pursuant to
employee benefit plans, and sales of stock or convertible securities for capital
raising purposes. Silicon Image currently has no specific plans, arrangements or
understandings with respect to the issuance of these additional shares.
If the stockholders approve the proposed amendment to the certificate of
incorporation, the Board may cause the issuance of additional shares of common
stock without further stockholder approval, unless stockholder approval is
otherwise required by law or the rules of any securities exchange on which the
common stock is then listed. The additional shares would have rights identical
to the currently outstanding common stock and no other change in the rights of
stockholders is proposed. Current holders of common stock have no preemptive or
similar rights, which means that they do not have a prior right to purchase any
new issue of common stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership
thereof. The issuance of additional shares of common stock could decrease the
proportionate equity interest and voting power of Silicon Image's current
stockholders and, depending on the price paid for the additional shares, could
result in dilution in the book value of shares held by the current stockholders.
The proposed amendment could have an anti-takeover effect, although that is
not Silicon Image's intention. For example, it may be possible for the Board to
delay or impede a takeover or transfer of control of Silicon Image by causing
additional authorized shares to be issued to holders who might side with the
Board in opposing a takeover bid. The amendment, therefore, may have the effect
of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging the
initiation of takeover attempts, the proposed amendment may limit the
opportunity of stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price
generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger
proposal. However, our Board is not aware of any attempt or proposal to take
over or transfer control of Silicon Image, and Silicon Image is not proposing
this amendment with the intent that it be used as a type of anti-takeover
device.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
7
PROPOSAL NO. 3--RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent
accountants, to audit the financial statements of Silicon Image for the year
ending December 31, 2001, and recommends that the stockholders vote for
ratification of such appointment. In the event of a negative vote on such
ratification, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection.
Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Annual
Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting if
they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION
OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table presents information as to the beneficial ownership of
our common stock as of February 28, 2001 by:
- each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of
our common stock;
- each of our directors;
- our chief executive officer, the four other most highly compensated
executive officers who were executive officers as of December 31, 2000 and
earned more than $100,000 in 2000; and
- all current directors and executive officers as a group.
The percentage ownership is based on 54,189,762 shares of common stock
outstanding as of February 28, 2001. Shares of common stock that are subject to
options or other convertible securities currently exercisable or exercisable
within 60 days of February 28, 2001, are deemed outstanding for the purposes of
computing the percentage ownership of the person holding these options or
convertible securities, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage ownership of any other person. Beneficial ownership is determined
under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes
voting or investment power with respect to securities. To our knowledge, unless
otherwise indicated below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole
voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned,
subject to community property laws where applicable. Unless otherwise indicated,
the address for each listed stockholder is c/o Silicon Image, Inc., 1060 East
Arques Ave., Sunnyvale, California 94086.

The foregoing table does not include the following options granted under the

our executive officers: David D. Lee--37,931 shares; Steve Tirado--31,391
shares; Daniel K. Atler--18,497 shares; Badar Baqai--22,989 shares; Jalil
Shaikh--18,767 shares; Parviz Khodi--23,868 shares; Michael Kelley--17,011
shares. Each option granted has a ten year term and an exercise price per share
of $5.4375, the opening price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market
on January 2, 2001 and will become vested and exercisable upon our satisfaction
of financial performance criteria for each quarter of the 2001 fiscal year. For
each quarter, our 2001 operating plan specifies a low and high target financial
performance number and the option will vest as to 12.5% of the shares if we
achieve the low target number, as to 25% of the shares if we achieve the high
target number, and as to between 12.5% and 25% of the shares if our performance
is between the low and high target numbers, with the exact percentage in this
latter case to be determined in the discretion of the Board or Compensation
Committee. However, even if we do not satisfy the specified financial
performance criteria, each option granted will become vested with respect to 16%
of the unvested shares on January 2, 2003, an additional 1.417% of the unvested
shares each of the 24 months thereafter, and an additional 4.167% of the
unvested shares each of the 12 months thereafter. In the event of a change in
control of Silicon Image, then six months afterwards, each option granted will
automatically become vested with respect to 25% of the shares for each set of
quarterly financial performance criteria which were to be achieved after the
change in control, provided the optionee either continues to provide services to
Silicon Image or its successor or has not been terminated for cause. Should the
Board or Compensation Committee determine that we have achieved the financial
performance criteria for the first quarter of 2001 prior to April 29, 2001, then
for the officers listed in the foregoing table, an additional 12.5% to 25% of
the share numbers set forth in this paragraph should be deemed outstanding for
purposes of calculating the percentage ownership figures in the table.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
Silicon Image entered into a severance agreement with David Lee on
April 22, 1997, amended and restated this agreement on August 15, 1997, and
amended this agreement on January 24, 2000. The agreement provides that if, on
or before December 31, 2003, Dr. Lee is terminated by Silicon Image other than
for cause, or if Dr. Lee resigns for good reason, Dr. Lee will continue to
receive salary at his current rate for six months and vesting of his stock and
options will accelerate, subject to limitations in the event of specified types
of acquisitions of Silicon Image. In addition, if Dr. Lee is terminated for
cause, or resigns without good reason, then Silicon Image may elect to continue
his salary for six months. During any period in which Dr. Lee is receiving
post-termination salary pursuant to the severance agreement, he will be
available to consult with Silicon Image from time to time as Silicon Image may
request, and he may not compete with Silicon Image in defined geographical
areas.
Silicon Image entered into an employment agreement with Daniel Atler on
June 15, 1998. In addition to describing Mr. Atler's initial title and
compensation, the agreement provides that Mr. Atler will continue to receive
salary at his current rate and benefits for six months in the event that his
employment terminates other than for cause. The agreement further provides that
vesting of Mr. Atler's stock and options will accelerate in part in the event of
a change in control of Silicon Image, subject to specific limitations. If
Mr. Atler's employment continues after a change in control of Silicon Image, his
options and restricted stock grants will continue to vest at an accelerated
rate.
Silicon Image entered into an employment agreement with Parviz Khodi on
June 10, 1999. In addition to describing Mr. Khodi's title and compensation, the
agreement provides for continuation of salary and commission for six months in
the event that there is a change in control of Silicon Image and Silicon Image
terminates Mr. Khodi's employment other than for cause, disability or death. The
agreement also provides that Mr. Khodi may purchase up to $10,000 of Silicon
Image's common stock at the end of each of eight fiscal quarters, commencing
with the fourth quarter of 1998, at the then current fair market value as
determined by the board of directors. Mr. Khodi has exercised this right by
purchasing a total of $40,000 of Silicon Image's stock. This stock purchase
opportunity expired upon the closing of Silicon Image's initial public offering
in October 1999.
Silicon Image entered into a letter agreement with Steve Tirado in
June 1999. The agreement sets forth Mr. Tirado's title and provides for an
initial salary of $225,000 per year and a bonus of up to $50,000 in the first
year. Pursuant to the agreement, Silicon Image sold Mr. Tirado 940,350 shares of
common stock at the price of $1.00 per share. All of the shares initially are
subject to our right to repurchase them at cost if Mr. Tirado's employment
terminates, and this right lapses over a four-year period. The agreement
provides that Mr. Tirado will continue to receive salary at his current rate and
benefits for six months in the event his employment terminates other than for
cause. In November 1999, Silicon Image entered into an additional letter
agreement with Mr. Tirado that provides that instead of the bonus provided for
under the initial letter agreement, Mr. Tirado will be eligible for a bonus
determined after June 30, 2000 equal to the greater of the amount due to him
under the Executive Bonus Plan adopted by Silicon Image or $45,833.
Silicon Image entered into a letter agreement with Badar Baqai in
November 2000. The agreement sets forth Mr. Baqai's title and provides for an
initial salary of $250,000 per year and a sign on bonus of $50,000 payable over
the first nine months of employment. The agreement provides that Mr. Baqai will
continue to receive salary at his current rate and benefits for six months in
the event his employment terminates other than for cause. The agreement also
indicates that management will recommend to the Board that Mr. Baqai be granted
a 500,000 share stock option. On November 22, 2000, the Compensation Committee
granted Mr. Baqai a 500,000 share non-plan option with an exercise price per
share equal to $6.5625, the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq
National Market on that date. This option vests and becomes exercisable with
respect to 25% of the shares on November 22, 2001 and an additional 2.083% of
the shares each of the 36 months thereafter.
16
If Mr. Baqai is terminated without cause within the first year of employment,
the letter agreement provides that this option will vest with respect to a
prorated portion of 25% of the shares, according to the number of months worked
prior to termination.
In November 1999, the compensation committee adopted an executive bonus plan
for the period from October 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000. David Lee, Daniel Atler,
Parviz Khodi, Jalil Shaikh and Steve Tirado were eligible under this plan to
receive a cash bonus based on a percentage of their respective base salaries
earned during this period. The applicable percentage ranged from zero to 65% and
was a function of Silicon Image's revenue and income from operations during this
period. The percentage for David Lee, as president of Silicon Image, was 150% of
the percentage for the other officers. In July 2000, the Board of Directors
adopted an executive bonus plan for the period from July 1, 2000 to
December 31, 2000. David Lee, Daniel Atler, Parviz Khodi, Jalil Shaikh and Steve
Tirado were eligible under this plan to receive a cash bonus based on a
percentage of their respective base salaries earned during this period. The
applicable percentage ranged from zero to 65% and was a function of Silicon
Image's revenue and income from operations during this period. The percentage
for David Lee, as president of Silicon Image, was 150% of the percentage for the
other officers.

officers. Although the Committee has from time to time made stock option grants
to Silicon Image's employees, including its executive officers, the Board of
Directors has continued to administer the issuance of stock options and other
awards under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. The Committee has complete
discretion in establishing the terms of stock option grants it makes. The
Committee is comprised of three independent non-employee directors whose names
appear below. None of these directors has interlocking relationships as defined
by the Commission. The following is a summary of policies of Silicon Image that
affect the compensation paid to executive officers, as reflected in the tables
and text set forth elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.
GENERAL COMPENSATION POLICY
Silicon Image's overall policy is to offer its executive officers cash-based
and equity-based compensation opportunities based on their personal performance
and the financial performance of Silicon Image and their contribution to that
performance. The principal factors taken into account in establishing each
executive's compensation package are summarized below. Additional factors may be
taken into account to a lesser degree and the relative weight given to each
factor varies with each individual in the discretion of the Committee. The
Committee may in its discretion apply entirely different factors, such as
different measures of financial performance, for future years.
CASH-BASED COMPENSATION. Silicon Image sets base salaries for executive
officers on the basis of personal performance, the financial performance of
Silicon Image and internal and industry comparability considerations. In
November 1999, the Committee adopted an executive bonus plan for the period from
October 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000. In July 2000, the Board of Directors adopted
an
17
executive bonus plan for the period from July 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000.
Under each bonus plan, each of Silicon Image's executive officers is eligible to
receive a cash bonus based on a percentage of his base salary earned during
these periods. The applicable percentage is a function of Silicon Image's
revenue and income from operations during these periods.
LONG-TERM EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION. Long-term equity incentives for
executive officers are effected through the granting of stock options. The
Committee believes that equity-based compensation in the form of stock options
links the interests of management and stockholders by focusing management on
increasing stockholder value. Stock options generally have value for the
executive only if the price of Silicon Image's common stock increases above the
exercise price determined on the option grant date and the executive remains
employed by Silicon Image for the period required for the shares to vest. Stock
options typically have been granted to executive officers when the executive
first joins Silicon Image, in connection with a significant change in
responsibilities, to achieve equity within a peer group, and to provide greater
incentives to continue employment with Silicon Image and to strive to increase
the value of Silicon Image's common stock. The Board of Directors or Committee
may, however, grant stock options to executives for other reasons. The number of
shares subject to each stock option granted is within the discretion of the
Board of Directors or Committee and may be based on the executive's level of
responsibility, anticipated future contribution and ability to impact corporate
results, past performance, consistency within the executive's peer group, the
number of existing option shares held by the executive at the time of the grant,
or other considerations. The relative weight given to these factors varies with
each executive in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or Committee.
2000 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
CASH-BASED COMPENSATION. The Committee was formed in October 1998. In
October 1999, the Committee determined the base salaries of Silicon Image's CEO
and vice presidents, effective as of October 1999. David Lee, Silicon Image's
CEO, made recommendations with respect to the base salaries of the vice
presidents after review of a salary survey prepared by the Radford Division of
Aon Consulting, which provides compensation and benefits surveys to
high-technology companies. In May 2000, the Board of Directors increased Jalil
Shaikh's annual base salary by $20,000 to $188,000 in connection with his
promotion to Executive Vice President, Operations. In September 2000, the Board
of Directors increased David Lee's annual base salary by $25,000 to $275,000.
LONG-TERM EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION. In September 2000, the Board of
Directors granted stock options to four Vice Presidents, in order to aid in the
retention of these executive officers and align their interests with those of
the stockholders. In May 2000, the Board of Directors granted a stock option to
Jalil Shaikh in connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President,
Operations. In November 2000, the Board of Directors granted a stock option to
Michael Kelley in connection with his promotion to Vice President, Marketing. In
November 2000, the Committee granted a stock option to Badar Baqai in connection
with his hiring as Executive Vice President, Engineering. These grants were also
made in order to aid in the retention of these executive officers and align
their interests with those of the stockholders.
COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND CEO COMPENSATION. In October 1999, the Committee
set the annual base salary for David Lee at $250,000 based on the criteria for
cash-based compensation set forth above and taking into account the increases in
base salaries awarded to Silicon Image's vice presidents at that time. In
September 2000, the Board of Directors increased David Lee's annual base salary
by $25,000 to $275,000 based on the criteria for cash-based compensation set
forth above. In 2000, Mr. Lee also received a bonus of $42,740 pursuant to
Silicon Image's executive bonus plan for the period from October 1, 1999 to
June 30, 2000 described above.
18
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 162(M) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. Internal
Revenue Code Section 162(m) limits Silicon Image's ability to deduct
compensation in excess of $1,000,000 in any taxable year to the individual who
is the CEO at the end of the taxable year and the four other highest compensated
officers of Silicon Image during the taxable year. Cash compensation for 2000
for any individual was not in excess of $1,000,000 and Silicon Image does not
expect cash compensation for 2001 to be in excess of $1,000,000 for any
individual.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
This Report of the Audit Committee is required by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and, in accordance with the Commission's rules, will not be
deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference by any general statement
incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, except to the extent that Silicon Image specifically
incorporates this information by reference, and will not otherwise be deemed
"soliciting material" or "filed" under either the Securities Act of 1933 or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Audit Committee of Silicon Image (the "Committee") is composed of two
independent directors and operates under a written charter approved by the
Committee and adopted by the Board of Directors which is attached to this Proxy
Statement as Exhibit A. The members of the committee are David A. Hodges and
Andrew S. Rappaport. The Committee recommends to the Board of Directors, subject
to stockholder ratification, the selection of Silicon Image's independent
accountants.
Management is responsible for Silicon Image's internal controls and the
financial reporting process. The independent accountants are responsible for
performing an independent audit of Silicon Image's consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue
a report thereon. The Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these
processes.
In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management
and the independent accountants. Management has represented to the Committee
that Silicon Image's consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Committee has
reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and
the independent accountants. The Committee has discussed with the independent
accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).
Silicon Image's independent accountants have also provided to the Committee
the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the
Committee has discussed with the independent accountants that firm's
independence.
Based upon the Committee's discussions with management and the independent
accountants and the Committee's review of the representation of management and
the report of the independent accountants to the Committee, the Committee
recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated
financial statements in Silicon Image's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
From January 1, 2000 to the present, there have been no (and there are no
currently proposed) transactions in which the amount involved exceeded $60,000
to which we or any of our subsidiaries was (or is to be) a party and in which
any executive officer, director, 5% beneficial owner of our common stock or
member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had (or will
have) a pecuniary interest, except as described in the Director Compensation and
Executive Compensation sections above and as set forth below.
STOCK OPTION GRANTS.
On January 2, 2001, the Compensation Committee made the following option
grants under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan to our executive officers: David D.
Lee--30,345 shares; Steve Tirado--15,068 shares; Daniel K. Atler--7,399 shares;
Badar Baqai--9,195 shares; Jalil Shaikh--7,507 shares; Parviz Khodi--9,547
shares; Michael Kelley--13,609 shares. Each option granted has a ten year term
and an exercise price per share of $5.4375, the opening price of our common
stock on the Nasdaq National Market on January 2, 2001 and became vested and
exercisable as to 8.333% of the shares on January 31, 2001 and vests as to an
additional 8.333% of the shares at the end of each full succeeding month
thereafter. In December 2000, each of the foregoing executive officers was given
the option to reduce his 2001 salary by up to 30%, and the number of shares
subject to his option grant equals twice the dollar amount of the salary
foregone divided by $5.4375.
In addition, on January 2, 2001, the Compensation Committee made the
following option grants under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan to our executive
officers: David D. Lee--37,931 shares; Steve Tirado--31,391 shares; Daniel K.
Atler--18,497 shares; Badar Baqai--22,989 shares; Jalil Shaikh--18,767 shares;
Parviz Khodi--23,868 shares; Michael Kelley--17,011 shares. Each option granted
has a ten year term and an exercise price per share of $5.4375, the opening
price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on January 2, 2001 and
will become vested and exercisable upon our satisfaction of financial
performance criteria for each quarter of the 2001 fiscal year. For each quarter,
our 2001 operating plan specifies a low and high target financial performance
number and the option will vest as to 12.5% of the shares if we achieve the low
target number, as to 25% of the shares if we achieve the high target number, and
as to between 12.5% and 25% of the shares if our performance is between the low
and high target numbers, with the exact percentage in this latter case to be
determined in the discretion of the Board or Compensation Committee. However,
even if we do not satisfy the specified financial performance criteria, each
option granted will become vested with respect to 16% of the unvested shares on
January 2, 2003, an additional 1.417% of the unvested shares each of the
24 months thereafter, and an additional 4.167% of the unvested shares each of
the 12 months thereafter. In the event of a change in control of Silicon Image,
then six months afterwards, each option granted will automatically become vested
with respect to 25% of the shares for each set of quarterly financial
performance criteria which were to be achieved after the change in control,
provided the optionee either continues to provide services to Silicon Image or
its successor or has not been terminated for cause.
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASES. In 1998 and 1999, the following officers
purchased shares of our common stock in exchange for full recourse promissory
notes issued to us. Except as otherwise noted below, we have a right to
repurchase these shares, which right lapses over a four-year period with respect
to 25% of the shares after one year and 2.083% each month thereafter. Except as
otherwise
22
noted below, the full principal amount and accrued interest under each
promissory note remain outstanding. The terms of the restricted stock purchases
are summarized below:

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors
and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock
("10% Stockholders"), to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
initial reports of ownership on a Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership of
our common stock and other equity securities on a Form 4 or Form 5. Such
executive officers, directors and 10% Stockholders are required by Commission
regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and
written representations from the executive officers and directors, we believe
that all of our executive officers, directors and 10% Stockholders made all the
necessary filings under Section 16(a) during 2000.
