GSI Technology, Inc. Receives

Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal

SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired—June 5, 2015) — GSI Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIT) today announced that, on June 4, 2015, it received from GigOptix, Inc. an unsolicited, non-binding and conditional proposal to acquire the company for consideration of $6.50 per share consisting of a combination of GigOptix common stock and cash (including an unspecified amount of GSI Technology’s own cash paid as a special dividend).

The proposal appears to be similar to a previous proposal rejected by GSI Technology’s Board in September 2014.  The Board will promptly and carefully review and consider the latest GigOptix proposal consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors. Following its review, the GSI Technology Board will respond to the proposal and advise its stockholders of the Board’s response.
