Item 5.   Other Events

 

On June 30, 2003, Mr. Chia-Chin Ku filed a complaint in Santa Clara County Superior Court against us and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shaw Hong. The complaint alleges that, by forming OmniVision in 1995, Mr. Hong breached a fiduciary duty owed to HK Technology, Inc., a privately-held corporation Mr. Hong and others founded in 1988. The complaint further alleges that we “misappropriated and converted” assets and technology belonging to HK Technology, Inc. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount.

 

We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the allegations and claims and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. We understand that HK Technology, Inc. has not engaged in significant substantive operations since the early 1990s. We also understand that HK Technology Inc.’s primary line of business was the design of chipsets for personal computers, and that it did not engage in any business concerning image sensors, which is OmniVision’s primary line of business. We do not believe that OmniVision’s technology or products incorporate or use any proprietary technology of HK Technology, Inc.
