The proxy statement and other relevant materials, and any other documents to be filed by MIPS with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or from MIPS’ website at www.mips.com or by contacting MIPS Investor Relations at: ir@mips.com . Investors and security holders of MIPS are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed transactions because they will contain important information about the transactions and the parties to the transactions.
