Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K previously filed by MIPS Technologies, Inc. (“MIPS” or the “Company”) on December 9, 2011, in order to update information disclosed under Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders regarding the results of voting at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2011. The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct non-binding advisory votes on the compensation paid to its named executive officers.  No other changes are being made to the Form 8-K filed by MIPS on December 9, 2011.

 

Item 5.07.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

As previously reported, in a non-binding advisory vote at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders concerning the preferred frequency of the stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of MIPS’ named executive officers, 22,848,284 shares were voted for a frequency of once each year, 333,472 shares were voted for once every two years, 2,300,271 shares were voted for once every three years, 154,100 shares abstained from voting, and there were 18,534,796 broker non-votes. After considering the preference of stockholders for a frequency of once each year and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined, at a meeting held on February 1, 2012, that the Company will hold a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers on an annual basis, until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of such future non-binding advisory votes.
