Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
     On March 4, 2009, Byron Bynum and Dr. I-Wei Wu tendered their voluntary resignations from the Board of Directors of Leadis Technology, Inc. (“Leadis”), effective March 4, 2009. In addition to serving on the Board, Mr. Bynum had served as a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board, and Dr. Wu had served as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Neither resignation was caused by any disagreement with the Company or with Company management relating to the Company’s operations, policies or procedures. In light of the Company’s recent transactions involving the sale of assets related to its display driver, audio and power management businesses, the expertise provided by Mr. Bynum and Dr. Wu is no longer as relevant to the Company. As a result of the resignations of Mr. Bynum and Dr. Wu, the Company now has seven directors, five of whom are independent.
On March 5, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a resolution reducing the authorized number of directors of the Company from nine (9) to seven (7).
Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On March 3, 2009, Leadis completed the sale of certain assets relating to its portable audio IC business (the “Assets”). The sale of Assets was made to a publicly-traded supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products. Under the terms of the sale, Leadis was paid $1.45 million in cash at the closing of the transaction. The agreement contains a limited indemnity by Leadis for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants made by it in connection with the transaction. As Leadis announced in its January 2009 earnings call, with the exception of supporting existing customers, Leadis had ceased investing in its audio business in December 2008.
