(the Partnership) and (iv) Yeh Family Trust U/T/D dated August 14, 1995 (the Trust, and collectively, the Reporting Persons) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on January 12, 2010, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on February 8, 2010 (the Original Schedule 13D and as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 2, the Schedule 13D), relating to the common stock, no par value (Common Stock), of Silicon Storage Technology, Inc., a California corporation (the Issuer). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 1020 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, California 94086.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to delete the paragraph added to Item 4 pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D and to replace such paragraph with the following:
On February 2, 2010, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Subsequent Merger Agreement), with Microchip Technology Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (New Parent), and Sun Acquisition Corporation, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Parent (New Merger Sub), pursuant which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, New Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer and each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares as to which dissenters rights have been properly exercised) will be converted into the right to receive $2.85, without interest (the New Merger). Also on February 2, 2010 and prior to entering into the Subsequent Merger Agreement, the Issuer terminated the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to their terms, the Contribution Agreement and the Voting Agreement terminated automatically upon termination of the Merger Agreement.
On February 22, 2010, the Issuer entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Subsequent Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the aggregate consideration payable by New Parent to the Issuers shareholders in connection with the New Merger was increased from $2.85 per share to $3.00 per share, without interest.
On March 8, 2010, the Issuer entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Subsequent Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the aggregate consideration payable by New Parent to the Issuers shareholders in connection with the New Merger was increased from $3.00 per share to $3.05 per share, without interest.
At the request of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2010 with the Issuer (the Subsequent Voting Agreement), pursuant to which each of the Reporting Persons agreed: (i) to vote, and to grant to Edward Yang an irrevocable proxy to vote, all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, (a) in favor of the New Merger and the Subsequent Merger Agreement, (b) in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Subsequent Merger Agreement, and (c) notwithstanding the voting requirements described in (a) and (b) above, if the Issuer has received a proposal to enter into an alternate agreement (an Alternate Acquisition Agreement), which causes the Issuer to elect to terminate the Subsequent Merger Agreement or a future Alternate Acquisition Agreement because such proposal constitutes a superior proposal under the Subsequent Merger Agreement or a future Alternate Acquisition Agreement and the Issuers board of directors (or the Strategic Committees) recommendation in favor such Alternate Acquisition Agreement remains effective, then, at the request of the Issuers board of directors or Strategic Committee, in favor of such Alternate Acquisition Agreement including actions required in furtherance thereof; (ii) not to sell, assign, transfer, lien, pledge dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the shares subject to the Subsequent Voting Agreement; (iii) not to deposit any shares subject to the Subsequent Voting Agreement into a voting trust or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to such shares that is inconsistent with the Subsequent Voting Agreement, and (iv) not enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any shares subject to the Subsequent Voting Agreement. The Subsequent Voting Agreement provides that Issuer shall indemnify the Reporting Persons for costs, expenses, judgments, fines, losses, settlements payments, claims, penalties, damages and other liabilities incurred by such Reporting Persons in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or resulting from such Reporting Persons entering into or performing the Subsequent Voting Agreement. The Subsequent Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Subsequent Merger Agreement (or any Alternate Acquisition Agreement), (b) May 31, 2010 and (c) any actual or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, lien, disposition, or encumbrance of the Subsequent Voting Agreement or proxy provided for therein by the Issuer.
The foregoing descriptions of the Subsequent Merger Agreement, the Amendment No. 1 to the Subsequent Merger Agreement, the Amendment No. 2 to the Subsequent Merger Agreement and the Subsequent Voting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Subsequent Merger Agreement, the Amendment No. 1 to the Subsequent Merger Agreement, the Amendment No. 2 to the Subsequent Merger Agreement and the Subsequent Voting Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 99.7 through 99.10 hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Clauses (a)-(b) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a)-(b) Each of Mr. Yeh and Mrs. Yeh has shared power to direct the vote or disposition of 10,618,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 3,038,163 shares are held by the Trust and 7,579,837 shares are held by the Partnership. Mr. Yeh has sole power to direct the vote or disposition of 90,000 shares of Common Stock held by him in an IRA account and 178,125 shares of Common Stock that are subject to options held by him that are exercisable within 60 days of March 15, 2010.
