6 7 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the percentages that statement of operations items are to net sales for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, --------- --------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net sales 100% 100% 100% 100% Cost of sales 62 63 63 68 --- --- --- --- Gross margin 38 37 37 32 Research and development 12 12 11 13 Selling, general and administrative 9 10 9 10 --- --- --- --- Income from operations 17 15 17 9 Interest income, net 1 2 1 1 --- --- --- --- Income before income taxes 18 17 18 10 Provision for income taxes 6 5 6 3 --- --- --- --- Net income 12% 12% 12% 7% === === === ===
Net Sales Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $46.0 million or 54% over the $29.8 million reported in the three months ended March 31, 1995. Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 were $123.9 million or 64% over the $75.7 million reported in the nine months ended March 31, 1995. The increases in net sales were attributable to increases in unit volume and higher average selling prices (ASPs) of higher performance graphical user interface (GUI) accelerator products both for desktop and mobile computers. The increase in ASPs was primarily attributable to the introduction of new higher priced GUI accelerators and the increase of percentage of sales of GUI accelerator products to approximately 75% and 68% of the Company's net sales in the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, from approximately 69% and 61% in the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1995, respectively. Sales increased in all regions including North America, Europe and Asia. 7 8 The Company continues to make major efforts to design products to fill the needs of leading PC systems manufacturers and adapter card manufacturers. Sales to North American and European customers increased to 28% in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 22% in the three months ended March 31, 1995. The Company expects Asian customers will continue to account for a significant portion of the Company's sales. Sales to Asian customers, primarily in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, accounted for approximately 72% in the three months ended March 31, 1996, down from 78% in the same quarter of fiscal 1995. Sales to two customers and their affiliates accounted for approximately 21% and 12% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Sales to three customers and their affiliates accounted for approximately 27%, 19% and 10% of net sales, respectively, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Substantially all of the sales transactions were denominated in U.S. dollars during both periods. The Company plans to continuously introduce new and higher performance GUI accelerators, graphics controller and multimedia video products which it will seek to sell to existing customers as well as new customers in Asia, North America and Europe. The Company's future success depends upon the regular and timely introduction of these and other new products and upon those products meeting customer requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the development of these products or to commence shipments of these products in a timely manner, or that product specifications will not be changed during the development period. In addition, even if regularly and timely developed and shipped, there can be no assurance that the products described above will be well accepted in the market place. Gross Margin Trident's gross margin increased from 37% and 32% of net sales for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1995, respectively, to 38% and 37% for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. The increase in the gross margin was primarily the result of increased volume shipments of new GUI accelerator products with higher gross margins during the current periods and reductions in the manufacturing costs of certain products. The Company believes that it is common for the prices of high technology products to decline over time as availability and competition increase and new, advanced products are introduced. The Company expects ASPs of existing products to continue to decline although average ASPs may remain constant or increase as a result of introductions of new higher performance products with higher gross margin. The Company's strategy is to maintain gross margins through the introduction of new products with higher margins, the reduction in manufacturing costs accomplished through the Company's custom design methodology and the migration to the newest process technology and taking advantage of the economies of scale of volume production. As a result, the Company depends upon the success of new product development and the timely introduction of new products, as well as upon the achievement of its manufacturing cost reduction efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully or timely develop and introduce new products or that it can successfully reduce manufacturing costs. 8 9 Research and Development Research and development expenditures increased from $3.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $5.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996. Research and development expenditures increased from $9.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $13.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Research and development expenditures as a percentage of net sales remained constant at 12% in both the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. Research and development expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased from 13% in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to 11% in nine months ended March 31, 1996 due to the increase in the net sales at a faster rate than the increase in expenditures. The increases in expenditures in the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996 were primarily due to the increase in headcount and associated personnel-related costs, increased depreciation, increased outside engineering services, increased non-recurring engineering expenses and costs associated with the acquisition of new technology during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996. The Company has increased its research and development efforts to introduce new products and intends to continue making substantial investments in research and development. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenditures increased from $3.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenditures increased from $7.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $12.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The increases in selling costs were primarily due to increased personnel-related costs for increased sales staff in the U.S. and Asia, additional commissions due to distributors and sales representatives as a result of higher sales through such channels and increased promotional activities. Selling, general and administrative expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased from 10% in both the three months and the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to 9% in the three months and flat in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 due to the increase in the net sales at a faster rate than the increase in expenditures. 9 10 Interest Income, Net The amount of interest income earned by the Company varies directly with the amount of its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments and the prevailing interest rates. Interest income increased slightly in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from the three months ended March 31, 1995 as a result of increased prevailing interest rates offset by the decrease of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments available. Interest income increased from $1.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $1.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 primarily due to increased amount of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments available and increased prevailing interest rates during the current period. A significant amount of the interest earned by the Company was not subject to federal income taxes. The Company expects interest income to decline from the current level because of the lower balance of cash, cash equivalent, short-term investments and long-term investments, as it made payments of $13.7 million to UMC during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Provision for Income Taxes As a percentage of income before income taxes, the provision for income taxes was 32% for both the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The effective income tax rates were below the statutory rate primarily because operations in foreign countries were subject to lower income tax rates and a significant portion of earned interest was not subject to federal income tax. Future Results The Company's statements regarding expected increases in the percentage of sales to leading PC systems manufacturers, plans regarding introduction of new products, and expected increases in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses are forward looking statements and actual results might vary materially from the results expected by the Company. A number of factors could affect such results, including those identified above and the factors discussed below. The Company's business is influenced by a variety of factors which include the overall market for desktop and notebook PC computers, the success of the Company's customers and their resultant net orders, seasonal customer demand, timing of new product introductions, marketplace acceptance of new product offerings, overall product mix, competitors' activities and the availability of foundry and assembly capacities. The Company's future operating results are also influenced by its dynamic product area and by its planned growth in expenditures and the relation of planned increased expenses to future operating results as well as by a variety of global, political, regulatory and foreign exchange factors. These factors will all affect the Company's results and there can be no assurance of Company's future operating results. The Company supplies components to a variety of OEM customers that in turn sell their products into the overall PC marketplace. Their success influences the overall net orders that the Company may receive and attempt to fill. Should there be a downturn in the overall PC business or should the existing customers not be in a position to place orders or to accept order fulfillment, the Company's performance could be adversely impacted and there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in achieving offsetting orders. The success of the Company's marketing and sales efforts can also be affected by changes in the global graphics marketplace. Because the Company's customers distribute their products 10 11 worldwide, such factors as shifts in market share from Asian clone makers to other manufacturers have in the past affected the Company's operating results. It is likely that future shifts would continue to influence the Company's business. Since a substantial portion of the Company's revenues has been and are expected to continue to be generated from customers in Asia, it is likely that the Company's operating results will fluctuate with changes in the Asian economies, particularly those of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Past performance has indicated that seasonal performance variations should be expected with the historic slowest PC sales occurring during the summer. This factor influences when the Company's customers place their orders and when delivery is required. Because the Company operates in the increasingly highly competitive graphics controller product area, timely introductions of new products are required. In order to be able to timely introduce new products a number of risk factors have to be overcome. A fundamental business risk is whether or not the Company can continue to develop products that will be accepted by a fast-changing marketplace. The Company attempts to determine which products have a high likelihood of marketplace acceptance and attempts to create functional and manufacturable designs for those products. However the Company can not assure that product development, the timing of the product introductions or the marketplace acceptance of current products or of products to be developed will be successful. The Company continues to invest in research and development and in the personnel required to support new product introductions and new customers including leading PC systems manufacturers. Should there be a shortfall in the Company's business performance, the Company's financial results would be adversely impacted by the planned growth in expenditures. Additional influences on the Company's performance will be the actions of existing or future competitors, the development of new technologies, the incorporation of graphics functionality into other PC system components and possible claims by third parties of infringement of patent or similar intellectual property rights. The Company relies upon several independent foundries to manufacture its products either in finished or in wafer form, and orders production either on contract or spot basis. The Company's ability to supply product to its customers is thus dependent upon its continuing relationships with those foundries and in turn upon their uninterrupted ability to supply the Company's product. Recently, there has been a worldwide shortage of advanced process technology foundry capacity. To respond to this shortage, the Company has entered into a number of contracts providing for additional capacity. Certain of such contracts require substantial advance payments. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain sufficient foundry capacity to meet customer demands in the future, particularly if that demand should increase, or that the additional capacity from current foundries and new foundry sources will be available and will satisfy the Company's requirements on timely basis or at acceptable quality or per unit prices. The Company's products are assembled and tested by a variety of independent subcontractors. The Company's reliance on independent assembly and testing houses to provide these services involves a number of risks, including the absence of guaranteed capacity and reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs. Constraints or delays in the supply of the Company's products, whether due to the factors above or to other unanticipated factors, could have adverse effects on the Company's results. These could be caused by the Company electing to purchase products from higher cost sources and could result in the loss of orders. The market price of the Company's Common Stock has been, and may continue to be, extremely volatile. Factors such as new product announcements by the Company or its competitors, quarterly fluctuations in the Company's operating results and general conditions in the high technology and in the 11 12 graphics controller market may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The Company has recently experienced a period of significant growth, which has and could continue to strain its limited personnel, financial and other resources. In particular, the sale and distribution of products to numerous leading PC systems manufacturers in diverse markets and the requirements of such manufacturers for design support would place substantial demands on the Company's research and development and sales functions. An expansion of sales and distribution of products to numerous diverse large system manufacturing customers, should they occur, would require expansion of the Company's research and development, production and marketing and sales capabilities. Sales growth, should it occur, will require additional foundry capacity and the Company has contracted to expand available foundry capacity. Future results will in part depend upon and could be significantly impacted by the Company's ability to manage its resources to support future activities and upon its ability to finance expanded foundry capitalization and production costs. The Company's future operating results also may be affected by various factors which are beyond the Company's control. These include adverse changes in general economic conditions, political instability, governmental regulation or intervention affecting the personal computer industry, government regulation resulting from U.S. foreign and trade policy, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates particularly with regard to the relationship of the U.S. dollar and Asian currencies. The Company is unable to predict future economic, political, regulatory and foreign exchange changes and cannot determine their impact on future performance. 12 13 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $28.5 million and short-term investments of $17.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments have decreased $2.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively, from the beginning of the fiscal year primarily due to the investing activities during the nine months period ended March 31, 1996. In the nine months ended March 31, 1996, $15.5 million of cash were provided by operating activities mainly as a result of profitable operations and adjustment of non-cash expenses, an increase in the outstanding accounts payable to vendors, accrued expenses and other liabilities and income tax payable; offset in part by an increase in outstanding accounts receivable balances, inventories and other assets. In the nine months ended March 31, 1995, $5.2 million of cash were provided by operating activities mainly due to decreased requirements for working capital as a result of profitable operations and adjustment of non-cash expenses, a decrease of inventory level, an increase in income taxes payable; offset in part by an increase in outstanding accounts receivable balances and a decrease in the outstanding accounts payable to vendors. Capital expenditures in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $2.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In order to obtain a supply of wafers sufficient to meet possible increased demand, and especially to obtain wafers manufactured using advanced process technologies, the Company entered into an agreement in June 1995 with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ("TSMC"), the Company's major foundry, under which the Company is committed to purchase and TSMC is committed to provide a certain number of wafers each year through December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company has the option to purchase an additional amount of wafers each year during the period. The Company made a prepayment of $16.8 million in August 1995. The payment can be applied to partially offset the price of wafers purchased under the option, but is not refundable except in certain circumstances. Based on the timing specified in the supply agreement, the prepayment will be applied at a rate of $4.8 million per year for fiscal years ending June 30, 1997 through 1999 and $2.4 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. If the Company expects to purchase fewer units specified in the supply agreement, then the Company will use the guideline of FAS 121 to assess whether the value of the prepayment is impaired. In August 1995, the Company also entered into a joint venture agreement with United Microelectronics Corporation ("UMC"), one of the Company's current foundries, under which the Company is committed to invest $60 million over the next three years for certain equity ownership in a joint venture with UMC and other venture partners to establish a new foundry. Under the agreement, the new foundry guarantees to Trident a certain percentage of its total wafer supply. Committed equity contributions under the joint venture agreement were estimated at $15 million, $30 million and $15 million during fiscal year 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The Company made the first payment amounting to $13.7 million in January 1996. 13 14 These investments with TSMC and UMC are intended to secure capacity so that the Company can meet expected increased demand, should it occur, and are an investment in the future of Trident. However, there are certain risks associated with these methods including the ability of the Company to utilize the capacity for which it has made substantial investments and the ability of UMC, together with its partners, to successfully build the new foundry. These agreements and the risks associated with these and other foundry relationships, are described under the caption "Business-Manufacturing" of the Form 10-K Annual Report. The Company will continue to consider possible transactions to secure additional foundry capacity as long as circumstances warrant. The aforementioned agreements with TSMC and UMC have utilized a significant amount of the Company's available funds. However, the Company believes its current resources are sufficient to meet its needs for at least the next twelve months. In addition to the $15 million line of credit as discussed below, the Company regularly considers transactions to finance its activities, including debt and equity offerings and new credit facilities or other financing transaction. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In May 1996, the Company obtained a credit facility of an unsecured revolving line of credit of $15 million with a maturity date of December 31, 1997. Under the terms of the line of credit , the Company may elect to convert a portion or the total credit into a three-year term loan. The facility requires the Company to comply with certain covenants regarding financial ratios and reporting requirements. 14 15 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Not applicable ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 3: DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE BY SECURITY HOLDERS Not applicable.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, shares issued under the Plan and later repurchased by the Company shall not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. 4. Administration of the Plan. (a) Procedure. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors may appoint a Committee consisting of not less than two members of the Board of Directors to administer the Plan on behalf of the Board of Directors and to exercise any or all of the powers set forth in paragraph (b), subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe. From time to time the Board of Directors may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan. The Board of Directors may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to 2 4 grant Options under the Plan; provided, however, that (i) the Chief Executive Officer shall not grant an Option to himself or to any other person subject to Section 16 under the Exchange Act, and (ii) the Chief Executive Officer shall not grant Options to any one person for more than 30,000 shares without approval of the Board of Directors. (b) Powers of the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority, in its discretion: (i) to determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section 8(b) of the Plan, the fair market value of the Common Stock; (ii) to determine the exercise price per share of Options to be granted, which exercise price shall be determined in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Plan; (iii) to determine the Employees or Consultants to whom, and the time or times at which, Options shall be granted and the number of Shares to be represented by each Option; (iv) to interpret the Plan; (v) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (vi) to determine the terms and provisions of each Option granted (which need not be identical) and to modify or amend each Option including the exercise price thereof; (vii) to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the Optionee) the exercise date of any Option, consistent with the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan; (viii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted by the Board; and (ix) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. (c) Effect of Board's Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options granted under the Plan. 5. Eligibility. (a) Options may be granted only to Employees and/or Consultants, who, at the time an Option is granted to such person, is not an officer or a director of the Company or any other person whose transactions in Common Stock are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if he is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options. (b) The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of any employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause. 6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of its termination by the Board or the date on which all of the Shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the Plan and the agreements evidencing Options granted under the Plan have lapsed. 7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from the effective date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 3 5 8. Exercise Price and Forms of Payment. (a) The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Board, but shall be no less than 85% of the fair market value per Share on the effective date of grant. (b) The fair market value shall be determined by the Board in its discretion; provided, however, that where there is a public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value per Share shall be the mean of the bid and asked prices (or the closing price per share if the Common Stock is listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System) of the Common Stock for the date of grant, as reported in the Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise reported by the NASDAQ System) or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the fair market value per Share shall be the closing price on such exchange on the date of grant of the Option, as reported in the Wall Street Journal. (c) Payment of the exercise price for the number of Shares being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee having a value, as determined by the Board (but without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company), not less than the exercise price, (iii) by the Optionee's promissory note in a form approved by the Company, (iv) by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a "Cashless Exercise"), or (v) by any combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price and/or which otherwise restrict one (1) or more forms of consideration. (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock to the extent such tender of Common Stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company. (ii) No promissory note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such terms as the Board shall determine at the time the Option is granted. The Board shall have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any promissory note used to exercise an Option with the Shares acquired upon 4 6 the exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if the Company at any time is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable regulations. (iii) The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise. 9. Exercise of Option. (a) Exercisability. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Board, including performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that subject to the authority of the Board of Directors or Committee to provide for a more accelerated schedule of dates of exercisability, all Options shall be exercisable cumulatively as to 20% of the Shares upon the first anniversary of the date of grant, 40% upon the second anniversary, 60% upon the third anniversary, 80% upon the fourth anniversary, and 100% upon the fifth anniversary. (b) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Board, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(c) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. (c) Termination of Status as an Employee or Consultant. In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant (as the case may be), such Optionee may, but only within such period of time as is determined by the Board, after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his Option to the extent that he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that he was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such 5 7 termination, or if he does not exercise such Option within the time specified, the Option shall terminate. (d) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(c) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of his total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he may, but only within such period of time not exceeding twelve (12) months as is determined by the Board, after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his Option to the extent he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that he was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he does not exercise such Option within the time specified, the Option shall terminate. (e) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee: (i) during the term of the Option who is at the time of his death an Employee or Consultant of the Company and who shall have been in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, within such period as the Board may determine (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that would have accrued had the Optionee continued living and remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant twelve (12) months after the date of death; or (ii) within such period of time as is determined by the Board, after the termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, the Option may be exercised, at any time following the date of death as determined by the Board (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination. 10. Non-Transferability of Options. The Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. 11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, 6 8 reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event that such successor corporation, parent or subsidiary does not agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, the Board shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Board makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger, the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period. 12. Time of Granting Options. The effective date of grant of an Option shall for all purposes be, in the discretion of the Board, either (a) the date on which the Board makes the determination granting such Option if an immediate grant is intended or (b) a particular date determined by the Board if a grant is intended to become effective on a subsequent date. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such determination. 13. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable. (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect Options already granted, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. 14. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and 7 9 delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 15. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any lia bility in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 16. Options Agreement. Options shall be evidenced by written Option Agreements in such form as the Board or the Committee shall approve. 17. Information to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each Optionee, during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options outstanding, copies of all annual reports and other information which are provided to all stockholders of the Company. The Company shall not be required to provide such information if the issuance of Options under the Plan is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of Trident Microsystems, Inc. certifies that the foregoing is the Trident Microsystems, Inc. 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan as duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 17, 1996 8 10 PLAN HISTORY January 17, 1996 Board adopts Plan with a share reserve of 1,500,000 Shares. 9 11 EXHIBIT 10.11 STANDARD FORM OF NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR USE UNDER TRIDENT MICROSYSTEMS, INC. 1996 NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN 12 TRIDENT MICROSYSTEMS, INC. NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT Trident Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has granted Cheng-Shie Wang (the "Optionee") an option (the "Option") to purchase a total of 10,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Trident Microsystems, Inc. 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Company, which are incorporated herein by reference. The terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings herein. 1. Nature of the Option. This Option is intended by the Company and the Optionee to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option, and does not qualify for any special tax benefits to the Optionee. This Option is not an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price is $ 16.00 for each share of Common Stock, which price is not less than the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant. 3. Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercisable during the term specified in Section 11 below as follows, subject to the other terms of the Option: (a) Right to Exercise. (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the following vesting schedule: (A) no Shares prior to April 23, 1997 ; (B) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares on and after the date in clause (A); (C) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares on and after the date which is twelve (12) months after the date in clause (A); (D) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares on and after the date which is twenty-four (24) months after the date in clause (A); (E) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares on and after the date which is thirty-six (36) months after the date in clause (A). (ii) Limitations on Exercise. (A) The Option may not be exercised more than once in any calendar quarter; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply so 1 13 as to prevent an exercise (1) following the termination of an Optionee's service as an Employee or Consultant as provided in Section 7, (2) following a termination of service due to disability as provided in Section 8, (3) in the event of the death of the Optionee as provided in Section 9, or (4) during the fifteen (15) day period immediately preceding a proposed dissolution, liquidation or merger as provided in the Plan. (B) The Option may not be exercised as to less than one hundred (100) shares at any one time or, if less, the number of shares remaining exercisable pursuant to the Option. (C) The Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. (D) In the event of Optionee's death, disability or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 7, 8 and 9 below. (E) In no event may the Option be exercised after the date of expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 11 below. (b) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by written notice, in the form attached hereto signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company, accompanied by payment of the exercise price. No shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. Assuming such compliance, the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. The certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if applicable, the heirs of the Optionee. 4. Method of Payment. Payment of the purchase price shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of whole shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not less than the exercise price, (iii) by means of a Cashless Exercise, as defined below, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing. (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock to the extent such tender of shares would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. The Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock unless such shares either have been 2 14 owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company. (b) A "Cashless Exercise" means the assignment in a form acceptable to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option pursuant to a program or procedure approved by the Company (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to decline to approve or terminate any such program or procedure. 5. Tax Withholding. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes payroll withholding and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for foreign, federal and state tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any Shares acquired on exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired on exercise of the Option. 6. Restrictions on Grant and Exercise. The grant of the Option and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal or state law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other law or regulations. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 7.

If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee or Consultant for any reason, except death or permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Optionee may, but only within thirty (30) days after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee or Consultant of the Company (and in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 11 below), exercise the Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or 3 15 if the Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 8. Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7 above, if the Optionee is unable to continue his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company as a result of permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of termination of the employment or consulting relationship (and in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 11 below), exercise the Option to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise the Option (which the Optionee was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 9. Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of the Optionee: (a) during the term of the Option while an Employee or Consultant of the Company and having been in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 11 below), by Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that would have accrued had Optionee continued living and remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant twelve (12) months after the date of death; or (b) within three (3) months after the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, the Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 11 below), by Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination. To the extent that an Option subject to this Section 9 is not exercisable or is not exercised, the Option shall terminate. 10. Non-Transferability of Option. The Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 11. Term of Option. The Option may not be exercised more than ten (10) years from the effective date of grant of the Option, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the Option. 4 16 12. Rights as a Stockholder, Employee or Consultant. The Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the Shares for which the Option has been exercised. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. Nothing in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate the Optionee's employment or consulting relationship at any time. 13. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal or state securities law restrictions on all certificates representing Shares subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing Shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph. 14. Termination or Amendment. The Board, including any duly appointed committee of the Board, may terminate or amend the Plan and/or the Option at any time; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Option or any unexercised portion hereof without the consent of the Optionee. 15. Integrated Agreement. This Option Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Company with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among the Optionee and the Company with respect to such subject matter other than those as set forth or provided for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in full force and effect. 16. Applicable Law.
