Kendall Law Group Fights for Better Deal for Shareholders in Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. Merger

Friday, February 5th, 2010

(DALLAS) Kendall Law Group fights for better deal for shareholders of Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSTI). The firm is concerned that proper consideration is not being paid to shareholders in the proposed acquisition by Microchip Technology Incorporated. If you are a shareholder of SSTI and would like additional information, contact Scott Kendall at 877-744-3728 or by email at skendall@kendalllawgroup.com.

On February 3, 2010, SSTI announced that they had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Microchip in a $284 million transaction. According to this agreement, shareholders will receive $2.85 in cash per SSTI share owned, only 6% over the $2.69 closing price before the deal was announced. This news follows the recent termination of a merger agreement with Technology Resources Holdings, Inc. that was entered into on November 13, 2009 and ended on February 2, 2010 with a $4,025,875 termination fee paid by SSTI. Due to the two recent transactions, neither of which providing fair compensation to the shareholders, the firm is concerned that the Board of Directors may have breached their fiduciary duties by not properly shopping the Company before entering into the agreement.

Kendall Law Group Investigates Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. on Behalf of Shareholders

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Kendall Law Group, founded by a former federal judge, is investigating the proposed acquisition of Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSTI) by Technology Resource Holdings, Inc., an entity partially controlled by members of SSTI’s management teams, in a $201 million transaction. According to the agreement, shareholders will receive $2.10 per SSTI share owned, which represents an 11% premium based on the closing price of SSTI on November 12, 2009.

On November 13, 2009, SSTI announced that the Board of Directors had approved the agreement based on the recommendation of a Strategic Committee composed of all of SSTI’s independent directors. The agreement contains a go-shop provision allowing the Strategic Committee to continue seeking offers for 45 days from the date of the announcement. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. Certain officers have agreed to exchange all of their shares of SSTI common stock for shares of capital stock of the resulting privately held company.

The firm’s investigation concerns whether the consideration to be paid to shareholders is grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of the company since. Also, the investigation will focus on whether the Board of Directors may have breached their fiduciary duties in disregarding the shareholders’ best interests by not seeking the best offer before entering into the transaction. SSTI shares traded as high as $2.75 as recently as September 29, 2009 and at $2.26 on the first full day of trading following the announcement.

If you are a current holder of SSTI and would like additional information concerning this proposed transaction, including your rights, contact Hamilton Lindley at 877-744-3728 or by email at hlindley@kendalllawgroup.com.
