Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On April 29, 2005 Monolithic System Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on April 25, 2005 its board of directors renewed an outstanding authorization for the Company to repurchase its common stock.  The board of directors’ prior authorization for the Company to purchase up to $25 million of the Company’s common stock expired on April 19, 2005.  The new authorization allows for the repurchase of up to $20 million of the Company’s common stock over the next twelve months.  The share repurchases may be made, from time to time, in the open market subject to market conditions and other factors, including self-imposed black-out periods during which the Company and its insiders are prohibited from trading in the Company’s common stock.  While blackout periods typically occur towards the end of a fiscal quarter in anticipation of the public release of quarterly earnings, the Company may impose a blackout period at any time without advance public notice.
