(the “Company”) on June 26, 2001, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed by the Company on December 22, 2004, relating to the registration of (1) common stock with certain rights to purchase Series AA Preferred Stock and (2) Series AA Preferred Stock (the “Form 8-A”).

 

Item 1.  Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

Item 1 of the Form 8-A is amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

On November 10, 2010, MoSys, Inc. (the “Company”) executed a Rights Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, in connection with the declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors of a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) to be paid on November 10, 2010 (the “Record Date”) for each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date.  Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series AA Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (a “Preferred Share”), of the Company at a price of $48.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment.  The Rights Agreement is intended to extend protections similar to those provided by the Company’s previous Rights Agreement which expired on October 10, 2010.

 

The terms of the Rights Agreement, the Rights and the Series AA Preferred Stock are summarized in the Summary of Rights to Purchase Preferred Shares which is attached as Exhibit 4.4.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 12, 2010 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
