Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 27, 2011, MoSys, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it had entered into a Voting Agreement on July 22, 2011 with Artis Capital Management, L.P. and several affiliated entities and a related individual (collectively, “Artis”).  Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to amend the Rights Agreement, dated November 10, 2010, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”), in order to provide exceptions for Artis to the 15% beneficial ownership limitations under the Rights Agreement.  In exchange, Artis agreed to certain standstill restrictions and further agreed to give the Company voting control over any shares that Artis may beneficially own from time to time in excess of the 15% threshold.  Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Company amended its Rights Agreement on July 22, 2011 in order to implement the agreed upon exceptions for Artis.

 

On May 18, 2012, the Company and Artis agreed to terminate the Voting Agreement in accordance with its terms.  In connection with the termination of the Voting Agreement, on May 18, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Rights Agent.  The Amendment removed the exceptions for Artis to the 15% beneficial ownership limitations that had been implemented by the July 22, 2011 amendment to the Rights Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, attached as Exhibit 4.2.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
