Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 29, 2005, Clare, Inc. ("Clare"), a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation (the "Company"), entered into an agreement to purchase its principal facility, which is currently leased. Under the agreement between Clare and John J. Flatley and Gregory D. Stoyle, Trustees of the 1993 Flatley Family Trust under Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, Clare agreed to pay $9,000,000 for the property at 78 Cherry Hill Drive in Beverly, Massachusetts. Pursuant to the agreement, Clare deposited $250,000 into escrow on signing the agreement. The transaction is expected to close on or about May 6, 2005.

The Company expects that the purchase price will initially be funded from its cash. The Company may borrow funds at a later date to increase its cash balances.
