Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 29, 2005, Pericom Semiconductor Corporation announced that by mutual agreement it has canceled and voided it’s approximately $12.5 million investment in AKER Technology Co., Ltd., of Taiwan that was previously announced on July 19, 2005. The agreement to void the initial transaction was reached due to significant differences on how to set the future direction of AKER. Instead, under terms of a new agreement, AKER sold Pericom its 99.9% interest in its Taiwanese eCERA frequency control products subsidiary for 475 million New Taiwan Dollars (approximately $14.7 million). The transaction was completed on August 30, 2005.
