99.1    Press release dated March 10 2009 announcing Addendum to Proposed Settlement of Pixelplus Securities Class Action


Exhibit 99.1

Addendum to Proposed Settlement of Pixelplus (PXPLY.PK) Securities Class Action

Press Release

NEW YORK, March 10 /PRNewswire/ — TO: ALL PERSONS WHO PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED THE PUBLICLY-TRADED AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES (“ADS”) OF PIXELPLUS COMPANY LTD. (“PIXELPLUS” or the “Company”) BETWEEN DECEMBER 21, 2005 AND APRIL 11, 2006 AND/OR purchased Pixelplus ADS pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s December 21, 2005 Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), which is defined for purposes of this NOTICE OF settlement to include from December 21, 2005 to April 11, 2006.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that an Addendum to the proposed Settlement (the “Settlement”) in the above-captioned putative class action lawsuit (“Litigation”) has been executed by the Parties. If you purchased the publicly-traded ADS of Pixelplus (PXPLY.PK) between December 21, 2005 and April 11, 2006 (the “Exchange Act Class”) and/or purchased Pixelplus ADS pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s December 21, 2005 IPO, which is defined for purposes of this settlement to include from December 21, 2005 to April 11, 2006 (the “Securities Act Class”), your rights may be affected by this Addendum.

The Company is unable to entirely fund its portion of the Settlement due to the economic turmoil in Asia arising from the global financial crisis and the world-wide recession, which continues to have a severe negative impact on the financial position and business operations of the Company. In light of these circumstances, the Company and Lead Plaintiff have renegotiated the Company’s contribution to the Settlement Fund, and these changes are reflected in the Addendum. The Underwriters’ contribution to the Settlement Fund, $355,000, is unchanged. In lieu of a $1,000,000 cash contribution to the Settlement Fund by the Company, the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Company, Inc. (“Samsung”), the insurance carrier for the Company, will pay 500,000,000 South Korean Won (converted into US Dollars) into the Settlement Fund within two business days of receipt of notification of final approval of the Settlement. The exchange rate of the South Korean Won on March 10, 2009 was 0.000662439 to the Dollar. The total value of Samsung’s contribution, based on the exchange rate as of March 10, 2009, is $331,219.43, but that is subject to currency rate fluctuations and may be larger or smaller depending on the exchange rate at the time of final approval. The average recovery per ADS, subject to those rate changes, is approximately $0.13. The balance of the previously-agreed-upon $1,000,000 contribution from the Company will be paid by the Company if and when such funds become available, according to terms agreed upon by the Parties. It is further agreed that the costs and expenses for the Class Notice and the administration and distribution of the Settlement Fund shall be paid out of the gross Settlement Fund.

Aside from these modifications, the previously entered-into Stipulation of Settlement in this Litigation remains fully intact.

The deadline for exclusions from and objections to this Settlement is extended from March 5, 2009, to March 16, 2009.


PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE COURT OR THE CLERK’S OFFICE REGARDING THIS NOTICE. If you have any questions about the settlement, you may contact Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs at:
