INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The registrant hereby amends the following Items and Exhibits of its Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed March 18, 2002 (the “ Form 8-A ”) to reflect an amendment to the registrant’s Rights Agreement between the registrant and Computershare Investor Services, LLC, as Rights Agent, dated March 4, 2002. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 8-A shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Form 8-A.

 

Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered

Item 1 of the Form 8-A is hereby amended to add the following:

On September 7, 2010, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into an amendment (the “ First Amendment ”) to the Rights Agreement, in connection with the Company’s proposed entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and between the Company, Zoran Corporation (“ Parent ”) and Maple Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Sub ”) pursuant to which Sub would merge with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Sub would cease and the Company would continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

The effect of the First Amendment is to provide that the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby shall not cause (i) the rights to purchase one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to become exercisable under the Rights Agreement, (ii) Parent or any of its subsidiaries, including Sub, to be deemed an “Acquiring Person”, or (iii) the “Distribution Date”, the “Share Acquisition Date” or a “Triggering Event” (as each is defined in the Rights Agreement) to occur. The Amendment also provides that the Rights Agreement shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement and the First Amendment, which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
