Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On May 30, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of GSI Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Company’s 2014 Variable Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan is designed to encourage performance and retention of eligible employees by providing cash bonus awards based on the Company’s financial performance during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.  Each of the Company’s executive officers is eligible to participate in the Plan.  Certain other non-executive officers are also eligible to participate.
 
Under the Plan, each participant has a designated target bonus.  The target bonus for Lee-Lean Shu, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is $250,000, and the target bonus for each of the other eligible executive officers is $125,000.  The actual bonus award will be computed on the basis of the Company’s fiscal 2014 operating results, with 40% of the award based on the achievement of targeted net revenues and 60% based on the achievement of targeted operating income, as adjusted to exclude certain specified categories of expenses.  If the target performance goals are exceeded, the actual bonus award payable to participants may be up to two times the target bonus.
 
Bonus awards under the Plan are subject to vesting based on the participant’s continued employment with the Company, with 60% becoming vested and payable on the last business day in April 2014 and 20% becoming vested and payable on the last business day of April in each of the succeeding two years.
 
A copy of the Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
