Micrel (MCRL) to Hold Special Meeting After Request from Obrem Capital Management LLC
Micrel, Incorporated (Nasdaq: MCRL) announced that, in response to the request received from Obrem Capital Management LLC ("OCM") and certain of its affiliates, a Special Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2008. The meeting will take place at Micrel's Worldwide Headquarters at 2180 Fortune Drive, San Jose, California, at 10:00 am PDT. Shareholders as of the record date of April 3, 2008, will be eligible to vote at the meeting.
Raymond Zinn, President, CEO and Chairman of Micrel said, "We continue to oppose OCM's nominees on the basis that they have very limited semiconductor industry and operating experience and we believe it is clear that OCM is attempting to take control of Micrel in order to secure a quick, opportunistic gain for themselves at the expense of other shareholders. We believe Micrel is taking the necessary steps, both in terms of its board of directors and the senior management of the Company, to outpace our industry's revenue growth rate. We look forward to the Special Meeting, which will provide shareholders an important opportunity to support our deeply committed Board of Directors, and to putting this matter behind us and focusing exclusively on running the Company and creating shareholder value."
Micrel, Incorporated (Micrel) designs, develops, manufactures and markets a range of high-performance analog power integrated circuits (ICs), mixed-signal and digital ICs. [SM]
