     The Federal District Court in Los Angeles, California, in the matter of International Rectifier Corporation v. IXYS, entered on May 21, 2002, a permanent injunction, which became effective on June 5, 2002, that effectively prohibits IXYS from selling and distributing certain IXYS MOSFET and IGBT devices in the United States. The injunction was issued in connection with previously disclosed litigation between IXYS and International Rectifier Corporation. IXYS has appealed this decision and is asking the Court of Appeals to immediately stay this injunction pending the outcome of its appeal.

     A copy of IXYS’ press release regarding the injunction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
