(b) On February 22, 2011, Andrew Wang announced that he was retiring and resigning from the board of directors (the Board) of OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (OmniVision), effective as of February 24, 2011. Mr. Wang served as an independent director of OmniVision and as a member of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. As a result of Mr. Wangs resignation, OmniVision currently has two independent directors out of four total members of the Board. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, on February 24, 2011, OmniVision notified Nasdaq that as a result of Mr. Wangs retirement and the resulting vacancy in the Board, a majority of the Board is not comprised of independent directors and that its Audit Committee will temporarily only consist of two independent directors. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, Nasdaq will provide OmniVision with a cure period in order to regain compliance by its next annual shareholders meeting, currently scheduled to occur in September 2011.
OmniVision is currently conducting a search for a qualified candidate to fill the vacancy left on its Board and expects that it will regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules within the cure period provided.
