(the "Company") and certain of its senior executive officers, including its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as well as SanDisk Corporation ("SanDisk"), and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The allegations in the lawsuits are identical and assert class action and derivative claims. The alleged derivative claims assert, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, constructive fraud, corporate waste, unjust enrichment and gross mismanagement with respect to stock option grants. The class action claims allege, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties by the Company's directors relating to the proposed merger transaction with SanDisk. The class actions also include a claim against SanDisk for aiding and abetting the Company's directors' alleged breach of fiduciary duties relating to the proposed merger. The complaints seek, among other things, equitable relief, including enjoining the proposed merger, and compensatory and punitive damages. In addition, the Company has received letters from an Israeli shareholder demanding that the Company file a claim against certain individuals to recover damages claimed by the shareholder to have been suffered by the Company with respect to prior option grants alleged to have been made in violation of applicable laws.
