Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 30, 2019, GSI Technology, Inc. (the Company) entered into a purchase order (the Purchase Order) with Wistron NeWeb Corp (WNC). The purchase order provides for an ongoing relationship, with a term of up to one year, between the Company and WNC whereby WNC will perform non-recurring engineering services in connection with the development of a 167mm single-APU PCIe board to be used in the Companys in-place associative computing product, Gemini I. The expected amount to be paid pursuant to the Purchase Order is $226,525, which would be paid by the Company within 30 days after completion of the work.
Haydn Hsieh, a member of the Companys board of directors (the Board), is the Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer of WNC. Due to the related-party aspect of this transaction, the Purchase Order was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board (the Committee) in accordance with the Committees charter. Mr. Hsieh, who is a member of the Committee, abstained from the vote approving the terms of the Purchase Order.
