INFORMATION REGARDING THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

General

This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) has information about the 2013 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and was prepared by our management for the Board of Directors of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited, an exempted limited liability company organized under the laws of Bermuda. The Notices of the Annual Meeting are being mailed to our shareholders on or about October 9, 2013. Our Board of Directors supports each proposal for which your vote is solicited.

Our Board of Directors asks you to appoint Mike F.

You make this appointment by properly completing the enclosed proxy as described below. If appointed by you, your shares represented by a properly completed proxy received by us will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner specified in the proxy statement or, if no instructions are marked on the proxy, your shares will be voted as described below. Although management does not know of any other matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by valid proxies will be voted by the persons named on the accompanying proxy card in the manner the proxy holders deem appropriate for any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Record Date and Shares Outstanding

The record date for the Annual Meeting has been set as the close of business on September 26, 2013. Only shareholders of record as of such date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On the record date, there were 25,698,008 issued and outstanding common shares, par value $0.002 per share (“common shares” or “shares”). Each issued common share is entitled to one vote on the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Shares held as of the record date include common shares that are held directly in your name as the shareholder of record and those shares held for you as a beneficial owner through a broker, bank, trust or other nominee.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RELATING TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Why did I receive these materials?

Our shareholders as of the close of business on September 26, 2013, which we refer to as the “Record Date,” are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, which will be held at 9:00am on November 12, 2013 China local time (at 5:00pm on November 11, 2013 U.S. Pacific Standard Time) at the Holiday Inn located at No. 83 Middle Zhongshan Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai, China. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in the Proxy Statement. We distribute the Proxy Statement and related materials to our shareholders of record on the Record Date.

The Proxy Statement provides notice of the Annual Meeting, describes the proposals presented for shareholder actions and includes information about the proposals, information concerning our management, corporate governance, principal shareholders and other relevant information. The accompanying proxy card also enables shareholders to vote on the matters without having to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote on your behalf. By completing and returning the enclosed proxy card, you are providing each of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer with the authority to vote your shares in the manner you indicate on your proxy card.

What are the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting and what vote is required to approve each proposal?

The Board of Directors is submitting the following two (2) proposals for shareholder actions at the Annual Meeting:

•

Proposal 1 - the election of seven (7) nominees to serve as directors on our Board of Directors until the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the highest number of votes are elected as directors, up to the number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. A properly executed proxy marked “withhold authority” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

•

Proposal 2 - the approval and ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, and the authorization for our Board of Directors to determine the remuneration of the accounting firm, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve this proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “abstain” with respect to Proposal 2 will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have no effect on this proposal.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to participate and vote in the Annual Meeting. If you were a shareholder of record on the Record Date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes do I have?

You will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of our common shares you own as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, there were 25,698,008 shares of our common shares outstanding and eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between a “shareholder of record” and a “street name” holder or a beneficial owner?

These terms describe how your shares are held. If your shares are registered directly in your name with Computershare, our transfer agent, you are considered a “shareholder of record.” As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to our management or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trust or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares at the Annual Meeting?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by mailing a completed proxy card, via the Internet. Instructions for voting via the Internet are set forth in the proxy card attached to the Proxy Statement. To vote by mailing a proxy card, sign and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope and your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner you directed. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker, bank, trust or nominee should have provided voting instructions for you to use in directing them how to vote your shares. You may be eligible to vote your shares over the Internet rather than by mailing a completed voting instruction card provided by the broker, bank, trust or nominee. Please check the voting instructions card provided by your bank or brokerage house for instructions. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting. To do so, you must obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank, trust or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.

Can I vote electronically through the Internet?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote electronically through the Internet at www.investorvote.com/aosl. The instructions are included in your proxy card.

If your shares are held in “street name,” please check your proxy card or contact your broker, bank, trust or other nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote electronically through the Internet and the deadline for such voting.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. If you are a shareholder of record and submitted your proxy through the mail or Internet, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the Annual Meeting by any of the following ways:

granting a proxy through the Internet after the date of your original proxy and before the deadlines for voting included on your proxy card;

submitting a later-dated proxy by mail before your earlier-dated proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting;

giving written notice of the revocation of your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at the address shown above that is actually received by our Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting; and

voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a “street name” holder, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trust or other nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trust or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. In either case, the powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the Annual Meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of at least two shareholders representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Company's common shares outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum, permitting the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting.

Proxies received but marked as abstentions, votes withheld and broker non-votes (as described below) will be included in the calculation of the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting for quorum purposes.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

All shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 26, 2013 can attend the meeting.

To attend the Annual Meeting, please follow these instructions:

If you are a shareholder of record, bring proof of ownership of your shares and a form of identification; or

If you are a “street name” holder, bring proof of ownership of your shares through your broker, bank, trust or nominee, and a form of identification. You must have obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank, trust or nominee to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What are the Board of Directors' recommendations?

Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the person named as proxy holder on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors recommends the following vote for proposals:

Proposals		Recommendation of the Board of Directors

1	Election of Directors	FOR all Nominees

2	Approval and Ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and authorization for the board to determine its remuneration for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014	FOR

Will shareholders be asked to vote on any other matters?

To the knowledge of the Company and its management, shareholders will vote only on the matters described in the Proxy Statement. However, if any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies for shareholders will vote on those matters in the manner they consider appropriate.

How are votes counted and how will a broker non-vote be treated and counted?

For Proposal 1 with respect to the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. You may not cumulate your votes for the election of directors.

For Proposal 2 with respect to the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the votes.

As the “street name” holder or beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trust or other nominee on how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. The broker, bank, trust or other nominee that is the shareholder of record for your shares is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction card for you to use for this purpose. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account but you fail to return your voting instruction card to your broker, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. If you are a beneficial owner and your broker, bank, trust or other nominee holds your shares in its name, it is not permitted for the broker, bank, trust or other nominees to vote your shares on the election of directors (Proposal 1). The broker, bank, trust or other nominees are permitted to vote for the approval and ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP (Proposal 2), therefore we do not expect any broker non-votes for Proposal 2. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the 2013 Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

We believe that the composition of these committees meets the criteria for independence and the functioning of these committees complies with, the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, the current rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and applicable SEC rules and regulations. The written charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are available at the Investor Relations section of our website at http://investor.aosmd.com/. The contents of this website address are not a part of the Proxy Statement.

Each committee has the composition and responsibilities described below:

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee currently consists of Howard M. Bailey, Thomas W. Steipp and Richard Sevcik. Immediately following the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will consist of Mr. Bailey, Mr. Steipp and Mr. Michael Salameh. The Audit Committee is chaired by Howard M. Bailey. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Bailey is an Audit Committee financial expert, as defined by the rules promulgated by the SEC. Our Audit Committee held nine meetings during fiscal year 2013. The Audit Committee's responsibilities include:

•

assisting our Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, risk management and internal control over financial reporting;

•

retaining and setting compensation of our independent registered public accounting firm (“independent auditors”), evaluating and monitoring its performance, and as appropriate, discharging our independent auditors;

•

reviewing and approving all audit and non-audit services of our independent auditors;

•

reviewing and discussing with management and our independent auditors our financial statements included in public filings;

•

discussing with our independent auditors significant financial reporting issues in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;

•

resolving any disagreements between management and our independent auditors regarding financial reporting;

•

overseeing our disclosure controls and procedures; and

•

reviewing and approving related party transactions.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee currently consists of Richard W. Sevcik, Chung Te Chang, and Dr. King Owyang. Immediately following the Annual Meeting, our Compensation Committee will consist of Michael Salameh, Dr. King Owyang, and Robert I. Chen. Our Compensation Committee is currently chaired by Mr. Sevcik and will be chaired by Mr. Salameh immediately following the Annual Meeting. Our Compensation Committee held four meetings during fiscal year 2013. The Compensation Committee's responsibilities include:

•

establishing compensation arrangements and incentive goals for executive officers;

•

evaluating the performance of executive officers and awarding incentive compensation and adjusting compensation arrangements as appropriate;

•

reviewing and recommending actions to the Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of all directors;

•

administering our incentive and equity-based plans and programs and otherwise exercising the authority of the Board with respect to such plans and programs; and

•

reviewing and approving and, when appropriate, recommending to the Board for approval, any employment agreements and any severance arrangements or plans, including any benefits to be provided in connection with a change in control, for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Dr. King Owyang, Chung Te Chang, and Thomas W. Steipp. Richard W. Sevcik served as a Committee member up to April 2013 during fiscal year 2013. Dr. King Owyang was appointed to the Committee in April 2013. Immediately following the Annual Meeting, the Committee will consist of Dr. King Owyang, Robert I. Chen, and Thomas Steipp. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is chaired by Dr. King Owyang. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings during fiscal year 2013. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's responsibilities include:

•

recommending to the board of directors the composition and operations of the board;

•

identifying individuals qualified to serve as members of the board, and identifying and recommending that the board select the director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders and fill vacancies on the board; and

•

recommending to the board the responsibilities of each board committee, the composition and operation of each board committee and the director nominees for assignment to each board committee.

Leadership Structure of the Board

Our Board of Directors currently combines the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. We believe that combining these two positions provides the most effective and efficient leadership structure. Our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mike F. Chang, has extensive knowledge of the power semiconductor industry and an in-depth understanding of our strategic initiatives and day-to-day operations, which make him well suited to set the agenda and lead the discussions at board meetings. This structure also facilitates communications between the Board and management by ensuring a regular flow of information, thereby enhancing the Board's ability to make informed decisions on critical issues facing our company. In addition, combining the two positions allows us to establish a clear chain of command and speak in a single voice by reducing the potential for a divided leadership. In January 2013, we announced the establishment of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) succession plan and the retention of an executive search firm to seek a new CEO. During this search period, Dr. Chang continues to serve as the CEO. Once a new CEO is identified and recruited, we expect Dr. Chang to continue serving as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

To ensure a strong independent Board of Directors, five (5) out of the total seven (7) members of our Board are non-employee and independent directors. The Board of Directors holds executive sessions where only independent directors attend, and these executive sessions provide an effective method to perform oversight and advisory functions of the Board. In addition, our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees consist of solely independent directors. Given the composition of the Board with a strong slate of independent directors, the Board does not believe that it is necessary to have a lead independent director at this time, although it may consider appointing a lead independent director if circumstances change. We believe that the board leadership described above is the best structure to lead us in the achievement of our goals and objectives and establishes an effective balance between management leadership and appropriate oversight by independent directors.

Oversight of Risk Management by the Board

One of the key functions of our Board of Directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board administers this oversight function directly through the Board of Directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic and operational risk exposure, including risks associated with acquisition of significant assets, changes in business models, major corporate transactions and market conditions in the semiconductor industry. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines and is primarily responsible for assessing the risks associated with corporate governance practices, and the independence of our directors

Nominations for Election of Directors

Director Qualifications

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of criteria to evaluate the qualifications and skills necessary to serve as members of our Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may assess character, judgment, business acumen, scientific expertise, familiarity with issues affecting the semiconductor industry and other backgrounds and attributes that are needed to help strengthen and balance the Board of Directors. Other qualifications will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on whether the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee desires to fill a vacant seat or increase the size of the Board to add new directors. In addition, while the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not prescribe specific diversity standards, as a matter of practice, the Committee considers diversity in the context of the Board as a whole and takes into account the personal characteristics and experiences of current and prospective directors that reflect a broad range of perspectives in the Board's decision making process.

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through current members of the Board of Directors, executive officers, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends the director nominees to our Board of Directors for approval for election at each annual general meeting of shareholders. Under our bye-Laws, any director appointed by our Board of Directors is subject to re-election by shareholders at our next annual general meeting of shareholders. The nominees for election at this annual general meeting were recommended and approved by the majority of the members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors, respectively.

A shareholder seeking to recommend a prospective nominee for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's consideration should submit the candidate's name and qualifications to our Corporate Secretary at our business office in the United States at 475 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale, California 94085. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider a properly submitted shareholder nomination that meets the requirements under our bye-laws and applicable U.S. federal securities laws. Our bye-laws require, among other things, an advance written notice of the nomination in writing of not less than sixty (60) nor more than one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the annual general meeting. This notice must also include certain information relating to the nominee and the nominating shareholders, as described in more detail below in “Future Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2014 Annual General Meeting.”

Shareholder Communication with our Board of Directors

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board of Directors, shareholders may communicate with the Board of Directors, including the independent directors, by sending a letter to Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited, Board of Directors, c/o Investor Relations, Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, Inc., 475 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale, CA 94085. Shareholders may also direct their submission to a particular member of the Board of Directors.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to members of senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, as well as all other employees of the Company. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is publicly available on our website at http://investor.aosmd.com/governance.cfm . In the event that we make any amendments to or grant any waivers of, a provision of the Code of Ethics that applies to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer that requires disclosure under applicable SEC rules, we intend to disclose such amendment or waiver and the reasons therefore, on our website at www.aosmd.com, in the Investors section.

COMPENSATION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Cash Retainer and Fees: Each non-employee director serving as a member of the Board at the beginning of the Company's fiscal year is eligible to receive an annual retainer of $5,000 or a prorated retainer for a partial year of service. In addition, each non-employee director is eligible to receive the following fees for meetings attended: (i) $2,000 for each meeting of the Board attended in person, (ii) $1,000 for each meeting of the Board attended via teleconference and (iii) $1,000 for each meeting of a committee of the Board, whether attended in person or via teleconference.

Equity Grants: Each individual who is elected by the Company's shareholders to serve as a non-employee director at the Company's Annual Shareholders Meeting and each individual who is to continue to serve as a non-employee director following such meeting whether or not that individual is standing for re-election at that meeting, will be granted on the date of such meeting, an option to purchase 7,500 common shares pursuant to the Automatic Grant Program in effect under the 2009 Share Option/Share Issuance Plan (the “Plan”). The option will vest upon the earlier of (i) the individual's completion of one year of Board service following the grant date or (ii) the next subsequent Annual Shareholders Meeting. In the event a new non-employee director is elected or appointed to the Board on a date other than at the Company's Annual Shareholders Meeting, such individual shall be granted on the date of such election or appointment, an option for a pro-rated amount of the annual option grant based on the period from the date of appointment or election to the date of the next Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Reimbursements: All non-employee directors receive reimbursement from the Company for their reasonable expenses of travel (including airfare and ground transportation) to and from meetings of the Board, and reasonable lodging and meal expenses. In addition, we reimbursed Mr. Steipp the tuition cost of $3,000 incurred in connection with his directorship continued education during fiscal year 2013.

Pursuant to the automatic grant program in effect under the Plan, each non-employee director was granted an option to acquire 7,500 common shares on November 15, 2012 with an exercise price per share of $7.97. Dr. King Owyang received a pro-rata option grant to acquire 5,000 shares for his appointment to the Board of Directors effective April 10, 2013 with an exercise price per share of $9.19. The dollar value of the options shown represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the options determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (“FASB ASC Topic 718”) pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, without taking into account any estimated forfeitures related to service vesting conditions. See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV Item15 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 for a discussion of assumptions made in determining the grant-date fair value of our stock option awards. The actual value, if any, that a director may realize on each option will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised and the price at which the shares underlying such option are sold. There is no assurance that the actual value realized by a director will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation Committee for fiscal 2013 consisted of the following members: Messrs. Chung Te Chang, Mark Stevens (for the first four months of the fiscal year 2013), and Richard Sevcik. Dr. King Owyang was appointed to the Compensation Committee in April 2013. None of the members of the Compensation Committee who served during fiscal 2013 is a current or former officer or employee of us or our subsidiaries, or had any relationship with us not otherwise disclosed herein under applicable SEC rules. In addition, to our knowledge, there are no Compensation Committee interlocks between us and other entities, involving our executive officers or directors who serve as executive officers or directors of such other entities.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following is a discussion and analysis of the compensation arrangements that were in effect for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 for the named executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table that follows. This discussion should be read together with that table and the other compensation tables and related disclosures that follow.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our philosophy is to provide our named executive officers with compensation that will motivate and retain them, provide them with meaningful incentives to achieve and exceed short-term and long-term corporate objectives set by our Compensation Committee, and align their long-term interests with those of our shareholders.

Based on this philosophy, the compensation programs for our named executive officers are designed to achieve the following primary objectives:

establish a compensation structure that is competitive enough to attract, retain and motivate outstanding executive talent;

ensure that any cash incentive compensation programs for our named executive officers are aligned with our corporate strategies and business objectives by tying the potential payouts under such programs to the achievement of key strategic, financial and operational goals; and

utilize long-term equity awards to align interests between our named executive officers and shareholders.

Impact of 2011 Say-on-Pay Vote

The most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive officer compensation required under the federal securities laws was held on November 17, 2011. Approximately 99.9% of the total votes cast on such proposal were in favor of the compensation of the named executive officers, as that compensation was disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the various compensation tables and narrative that appeared in the Company’s proxy statement dated October 18, 2011. Based on that high level of shareholder approval, the Compensation Committee decided not to make any material changes to the Company’s compensation philosophies, policies and practices for the 2013 fiscal year compensation of the named executive officers. Based on the voting preference of the Company’s shareholders, advisory votes on executive officer compensation will be conducted every three years; accordingly, the next advisory vote will be conducted in 2014. The Compensation Committee will continue to take into account each such advisory vote in order to determine whether any subsequent changes to the Company’s executive compensation programs and policies would be warranted to reflect any shareholder concerns reflected in those advisory votes.

Compensation Decision-Making Process

The Compensation Committee meets on a regular schedule throughout the year to manage our compensation program. The Compensation Committee reviews the principle components of compensation for our executive officers on an annual basis, typically before the beginning of the fiscal year. As part of that review process, the Compensation Committee reviews and may adjust the base salaries of our named executive officers for the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee also establishes the cash bonus plan for that fiscal year and determines the cash bonuses payable to our named executive officers for the preceding fiscal year based on achievement of the pre-specified performance goals for that prior year. The Compensation Committee then meets again mid-year at which time the Compensation Committee may grant, additional equity awards to our named executive officers to ensure their interests are aligned with shareholders and for retention. The Compensation Committee also reviews and may revise compensation decisions at this time.

In setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee takes into account a number of factors, including the nature and scope of the named executive officer's responsibilities, his or her individual performance level and contribution to the achievement of our corporate objectives, the experience level of the executive, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer for each individual's compensation package (other than his own) and the compensation trends in the industry.

In determining executive compensation for fiscal year 2013, our Compensation Committee reviewed and considered various market data comprised of the Radford 2012 survey data for semiconductor companies with revenues in the range of $200 million to $1 billion, as well as publicly available information for power semiconductor companies provided by our Vice President of Human Resources. In mid-fiscal year 2013, the Company retained Compensia, an independent compensation consulting firm, to (i) identify a peer group of high-tech companies, (ii) provide management with compensation data based on the peer group companies and Radford 2012 survey data with revenues in the range of $200 million to $500 million, and (iii) recommend adjustments to the compensation of our executive officers to reflect the market trend and practice. Management presented the results of Compensia’s study and recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee reviewed and considered such data but relied on its own judgment and experience in establishing and adjusting executive compensation.

For a discussion of the specific responsibilities of our Compensation Committee, see "Board of Directors and Committees of the Board - Committees of the Board of Directors - Compensation Committee” above.

Role of Management. Our Chief Executive Officer, with input from our Vice President of Human Resources, provides our Compensation Committee with his recommendations as to the base salary, cash bonus potential and long-term equity incentive award for each of our named executive officers other than himself based on that officer's level of responsibility, individual performance and contribution to the attainment of our strategic corporate objectives and market data. Our Compensation Committee takes the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations into consideration in setting named executive officer compensation, but retains complete discretionary authority to make all compensation-related decisions for our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee makes its compensation decisions with respect to the Chief Executive Officer on the basis of relevant market data furnished by the Vice President of Human Resources and its subjective assessment of his individual performance and contributions to our overall corporate performance. Any decisions regarding our Chief Executive Officer's compensation are made without him present.

Compensation Structure

Elements of Compensation

We utilize three main components in structuring compensation programs for our named executive officers:

Base salary, which is the only fixed compensation element in our executive compensation program and is primarily used to recruit and retain executive talent and provide an element of economic security from year to year;

Performance-based cash bonuses that are primarily designed to reward achievement of financial and operational goals; and

Equity incentive awards designed to ensure long-term retention of our executive talent and align their interests with those of our shareholders.

We view each component of compensation as related but distinct. It is the practice of our Compensation Committee to allocate a substantial portion of each named executive officer's total compensation to performance and long-term incentive compensation as a result of the philosophy described above. There is no pre-established policy for the allocation of compensation between cash and non-cash components or between short-term and long-term components, and there are no pre-established ratios between the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and that of the other named executive officers. Instead, our Compensation Committee determines the compensation of each named executive officer based on its review of the market data provided by the Vice President of Human Resources, its subjective analysis of that individual's performance and contribution to our financial performance and the other factors identified in the Compensation Decision-Making Process section above to determine the appropriate level and balance of total compensation. We believe that this approach allows us to tailor compensation for each named executive officer to attract, retain and motivate that executive officer within the parameters of our compensation philosophy.

Base Salaries

Base salaries are set at levels that are intended to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our named executive officers. Each named executive officer's base salary level is typically reviewed on an annual basis and adjustments may be made to the individual's base salary on the basis of his or her level of performance, the overall performance of the Company and the various compensation trends in our industry.

The Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of the named executive officers for fiscal 2013 and with the exception of Ms. Dotz (whose base salary had been negotiated in connection with her employment), increased the base salaries of the Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers by 3%.

The base salaries for the named executive officers for fiscal year 2013 were as follows:

	Annual Base Salary
Mike F. Chang	$	391,400
Mary L. Dotz	$	280,000
Yueh-Se Ho	$	267,800
Hamza Yilmaz	$	267,800
Tony Grizelj	$	216,300
Yifan Liang	$	206,000

Performance-Based Cash Bonuses

Our named executive officers are eligible to receive a bonus under our annual Executive Incentive Plan. Each year, our Compensation Committee establishes the performance objectives to be attained and the target bonuses payable based on the level of attainment of the specified goals. Historically, we have paid a portion of the bonus following the end of the first six months of each fiscal year based on achievement of performance goals for that period. The bonus payable based on a full fiscal year performance is then reduced by the amounts paid out for the first six-month period.

For fiscal year 2013 there were two performance goals weighted as follows: (1) revenue goal weighted 50% and (2) operating income goal weighted 50%. Initially, a minimum of 90% of the target goal had to be achieved for the payout under that goal. In addition, no bonus was payable under either performance goal if a minimum of 90% of the operating income target was not achieved. The actual bonus payable to an executive officer depended on the level of attainment of the performance goals with threshold amount payable upon attainment of 90% of the goal and maximum amount payable upon attainment of at least 110% of the goal.

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee adjusted the fiscal year 2013 bonus plan to (i) measure operating income on a non-GAAP basis instead of on a GAAP basis, (ii) reduce the threshold level of performance to 80% from 90% and (iii) increase the performance to be attained to earn the maximum bonus to 115% of target.

The threshold, target and maximum bonuses payable to each of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2013 based on level of attainment of the performance goals are as follows:

	Threshold Bonus % of Base Salary			Target Bonus % of Base Salary			Maximum Bonus % of Base Salary
Mike F. Chang		40	%		100	%		200	%
Mary L. Dotz		20	%		60	%		120	%
Yueh-Se Ho		20	%		60	%		120	%
Hamza Yilmaz		20	%		60	%		120	%
Tony Grizelj		20	%		60	%		120	%
Yifan Liang		20	%		40	%		100	%

The operating income target for the period July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 was not attained and accordingly no bonus was payable on the basis of the performance for that period. However, in order to ensure retention, based on the Compensation Committee’s overall subjective evaluation of the Company’s performance from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 (including the fact that revenue was attained at 96.5% of the target goal) and the subjective evaluation and assessment of each executive’s performance and contribution to the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved the following discretionary bonuses in February 2013: Ms. Dotz: $23,333, Dr. Ho: $22,317, Dr. Yilmaz: $22,317, Mr. Grizelj: $12,479, and Mr. Liang: $11,885. The bonuses were paid on March 8, 2013.

The performance goals for the entire fiscal year 2013 were also not attained and no additional bonuses were paid under the bonus plan for fiscal year 2013.

On May 9, 2013, the Compensation Committee recommended and the independent members of the Board approved a special retention bonus for Ms. Dotz in the aggregate amount of $200,000 payable as follows: $100,000 payable on August 9, 2013, provided she continued her employment as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company through such date; the remaining $100,000 payable in three (3) equal monthly installments upon her completion of each month of employment as the Chief Financial Officer over the subsequent three (3) months period from September 2013 to November 2013. The bonus will be subject to earlier payment upon a termination of Ms. Dotz’s employment by the Company without cause prior to November 10, 2013. The Compensation Committee approved the special bonus after careful consideration of various factors, including the financial conditions of the Company at that time which was negatively impacted by the declining PC markets, and the critical role that the Chief Financial Officer will play over this time period in the company’s strategy to mitigate this trend and to return the Company to sustained profitability and financial stability. On October 4, 2013, Ms. Dotz informed the Company that she will resign her position as the Chief Financial Officer effective November 11, 2013.

Equity Compensation Plans

Our equity award program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives to our named executive officers and providing an inducement for long-term retention. Equity compensation represents a significant component of the total compensation package we provide to each of our named executive officers. We believe this weighting is appropriate because it aligns the interests of our named executive officers with those of our shareholders and focuses their attention on the creation of shareholder value in the form of stock price appreciation. Historically, the equity awards to our named executive officers have been in the form of stock options. However, in April 2012, the Compensation Committee added restricted stock units as part of the Company’s long-term incentive program for named executive officers. The Company believes that restricted stock units are a valuable addition to its long-term incentive program for several reasons, including ongoing concerns over the dilutive effect of option grants on the Company’s outstanding shares, the Company’s desire to have a more direct correlation between the compensation expense it must record for financial accounting purposes and the actual value delivered to executive officers, and the fact that the incentive and retention value of a restricted stock unit award is less affected by market volatility than stock options. We believe that the equity-based compensation provides our named executive officers with a direct interest in our long-term performance and creates an ownership culture that establishes a mutuality of interests between our named executive officers and our shareholders.

Equity awards granted to our named executive officers are approved by our Compensation Committee. Historically, the stock options vested over a five-year period of service. In order to be competitive with market practice, the shares subject to our stock options granted to newly-hired executive officers now typically vest over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares to vest upon completion of one year of service measured from the grant date, and the balance to vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments upon completion of each additional month of service thereafter. Annual stock option grants for our named executive officers typically vest over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares to vest upon completion of one year of service measured from the grant date, and the balance to vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments upon completion of each additional month of service thereafter. The shares subject to the restricted stock units granted to our named executive officers will vest over a four-year period measured from the grant date, with 25% vesting annually upon completion of each year of service during such period.

We typically make an initial stock option grant to a new named executive officer in connection with his or her commencement of employment. Additionally, our Compensation Committee reviews our equity compensation program periodically and may, at its discretion, grant additional equity awards to existing named executive officers consistent with our named executive officer compensation objectives. In determining the size of those additional grants, our Compensation Committee typically takes into account the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer and its own subjective assessment of the named executive officer’s performance and the retention value of his or her existing equity awards.

All stock options to our employees, including executive officers, and to our directors are granted at the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant.

Fiscal Year 2013 Grants: On February 14, 2013, the Compensation Committee recommended and our Board of Directors authorized a stock option grant to each of our named executive officers for the number of our common shares indicated below. Each option has an exercise price of $8.45 per share, the fair market value per our common share on the grant date, and a maximum term of 10 years measured from the grant date, subject to earlier termination following the individual's cessation of employment with us. Each option vests over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares to vest upon completion of one year of service measured from the grant date, and the balance to vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments upon completion of each additional month of service thereafter.

Based on the Compensation Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Directors also authorized restricted stock units on February 14, 2013 to each of our named executive officers for the number of our common shares indicated below. Each restricted stock unit entitles the holder to receive one common share following vesting. Each award will vest 25% annually upon completion of each year of service measured from the grant date over a four-year period.

Named Executive Officer	Option Grant (Shares)		Restricted Stock Unit (Shares)
Mike F. Chang		56,400		12,533

Mary L. Dotz		20,400		4,533

For more information concerning the stock options and restricted stock unit awards we granted to our named executive officers in 2013, please see “Grants of Plan-Based Awards 2013” below.

A subcommittee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is authorized to grant stock options and restricted stock unit awards to newly-hired employees, other than executive officers, within prescribed limits specified by position and location of the employee pursuant to authority delegated to the subcommittee by the Board of Directors. These grants are generally made on the 15th day of each month.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer which sets forth certain terms and conditions governing his period of continued employment with us including certain benefits to which he would become entitled were his employment to be terminated involuntarily. In addition, we have entered into retention agreements with each of our named executive officers pursuant to which such officers are entitled to certain severance benefits upon an involuntary termination of employment. The employment agreement and retention agreements are summarized below in the section of this proxy entitled “Agreements Regarding Employment, Change in Control and Termination of Employment”.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Dr. Chang's severance will depend upon whether the involuntary termination occurs in connection with a change in control. If his employment is terminated by the Company (without cause) or he resigns for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, Dr. Chang will be entitled to (i) continued payment of base salary and health care coverage for a period of 24 months and (ii) full vesting acceleration of his outstanding equity awards. In the case of such involuntary termination other than during the 12 months following a change in control, he will be entitled to continued payment of base salary and health care coverage for a period of 12 months and no accelerated vesting of his outstanding unvested equity awards.

Under the retention agreements, the named executive officer's severance will depend upon whether the involuntary termination occurs in connection with a change in control. If such officer's employment is terminated by the Company (without cause) or he resigns for good reason within 12 months following a change in control, he will be entitled to (i) continued payment of base salary and health care coverage for a period of 6 months and (ii) vesting acceleration of his outstanding equity awards with respect to that number of shares in which he would have vested had he remained employed for an additional 12 months. In the case of such involuntary termination other than during the 12 months following a change in control, he will be entitled to continued payment of base salary and health care coverage for a period of 6 months and no accelerated vesting of his outstanding unvested equity awards.

The severance benefits that we have provided in connection with a change in control situation are designed to serve two primary purposes: (i) encourage our named executive officers to remain our employee in the event of an actual or potential change in control transaction and (ii) align the interests of the named executive officers with those of the shareholders by enabling the named executive officers to consider acquisition transactions that are in the best interests of the shareholders and provide opportunities for the creation of substantial shareholder value without undue concern over whether those transactions may jeopardize their employment or their existing compensation arrangements. Our Compensation Committee also believes that the severance benefits payable on an involuntary termination in the absence of a change in ownership serve as an important recruitment and retention tool that allows us to remain competitive in attracting and retaining executive talent.

Pursuant to the terms of our equity plans, outstanding options and restricted stock units awards held by our named executive officers and our other employees will accelerate upon a change in control unless those options or awards are assumed or otherwise replaced by the acquiring entity. The Compensation Committee believes that accelerated vesting under such a limited circumstance is appropriate because it protects a significant component of the named executive officer's total compensation in the event those options and awards would otherwise terminate in the acquisition and allows our named executive officers to remain focused on the Company's business without undue concern over this significant component of their compensation package should the Company become an acquisition target in a transaction in which the outstanding equity awards would not be assumed or replaced.

Our severance and change of control provisions for the named executive officers are discussed in more detail in "Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment" below.

Benefits and Other Compensation

We maintain broad-based employee benefit plans, which are provided to all eligible employees, including our named executive officers. These plans provide group medical and dental coverage, life insurance, disability insurance, flexible spending accounts and a 401(k) savings program for our employees based in the United States. We also offer bonuses for patented inventions, authoring technical articles and making technical presentations at major symposiums; our named executive officers are eligible to receive bonuses under these programs on the same basis as our other employees.

We believe these benefits are consistent with the benefits offered by companies with which we compete for employees and are necessary to attract and retain qualified employees.

Perquisites

We believe that cash and equity compensation are the key components needed to attract and retain our executive management. As a result, we do not provide any substantial perquisites to our named executive officers.

Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee believes the various components of the total compensation package of our named executive officers, as discussed above, are appropriately balanced so as to avoid any excessive risk taking by such individuals. First, long-term equity awards tied to the market price of our common shares represent a significant component of executive officer compensation and promote a commonality of interest between the executive officers and our shareholders in increasing shareholder value. In addition, a portion of the equity component is in the form of restricted stock units. The use of such restricted stock units mitigates the potential risk that stock options pose in encouraging risk taking in the short term. Restricted stock units provide varying levels of compensation as the market price of the Company’s common shares fluctuates over time and are less likely to contribute to excessive risk taking. Furthermore, equity awards generally will vest over a period of years, and that vesting element encourages the award recipients to focus on sustaining our long-term performance.

Secondly, under the annual executive incentive bonus program, an individual target bonus amount is established for each named executive officer at each level of potential goal attainment. Accordingly, at all levels of performance goal attainment, there are limits in place for the potential bonus payout. In addition, a maximum bonus amount is established for each participant such that no participant may earn more than a fixed percentage of his base salary, which for fiscal year 2013 ranged from 100% to 200%, depending on the participant.

Accordingly, our overall compensation structure is not overly-weighted toward short-term incentives, and the Compensation Committee has taken what it believes are reasonable steps to protect against the potential of disproportionately large short-term incentives that might encourage excessive risk taking.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction for certain compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid by a publicly held company to certain named executive officers. Compensation that qualifies as performance-based for purposes of Section 162(m) is not subject to such deduction limitation, provided certain specified requirements are met. In addition, “grandfather” provisions may apply to certain compensation arrangements that were entered into by a company before it was publicly held and certain compensation arrangements and awards that are made during a specified period following the date the company becomes publicly held.

Non-performance-based compensation paid to our executive officers for fiscal 2013 did not exceed the $1 million limit per covered officer. The restricted stock units awarded to our named executive officer in fiscal 2013 will not qualify as performance-based compensation. In addition, the bonuses provided to our named executive officers under the annual cash incentive program will not qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m). However, we believe that in establishing the cash and equity incentive compensation programs for our executive officers, the potential deductibility of the compensation payable under those programs should be only one of a number of relevant factors taken into consideration, and not the sole governing factor. Accordingly, our Compensation Committee may provide one or more named executive officers with the opportunity to earn incentive compensation, whether through cash incentive programs or equity incentive programs, which may be in excess of the amount deductible by reason of Section 162(m) or other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Agreements Regarding Employment, Change in Control and Termination of Employment

Employment Agreement and Retention Agreements

We have entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Chang and retention agreements with each of our other named executive officers.

Pursuant to his April 28, 2010 employment agreement, Dr. Chang is entitled to a base salary of $325,000 per year. His base salary is subject to annual review and may be adjusted by our Compensation Committee at its discretion and is currently $391,400. In addition, Dr. Chang is eligible to receive a cash bonus in an amount determined by our Compensation Committee based on attainment of specified performance goals. Dr. Chang is also entitled to participate in the benefit plans generally available to our employees, such as group health care coverage and 401(k) plan participation.

Under the terms of his employment agreement, should Dr. Chang's employment be involuntarily terminated by us without cause or by him for good reason at any time other than during the 12 months following a change in control of the Company, he will be entitled to receive (i) continued base salary for a period of 12 months and (ii) continued health care coverage for himself and his eligible dependents for a period of 12 months. Should Dr. Chang's employment be involuntarily terminated by us without cause or by him for good reason within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, he will be entitled to receive (i) continued base salary for a period of 24 months, (ii) continued health care coverage for himself and his eligible dependents for a period of 24 months, and (iii) accelerated vesting of his then unvested equity awards.

Pursuant to the retention agreements each of our other named executive officers is entitled to receive severance payments and benefits upon an involuntary termination of his or her employment. Should the named executive officer's employment be involuntarily terminated by us without cause or by him or her for good reason at any time other than during the 12 months following a change in control of the Company, he or she will be entitled to receive (i) continued base salary for a period of 6 months, and (ii) continued health care coverage for himself and his eligible dependents for a period of 6 months. In the event that such involuntary termination occurs within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, then the named executive officer will be entitled to receive (i) continued base salary for a period of 6 months, (ii) continued health care coverage for himself/herself and his/her eligible dependents for a period of 6 months and (iii), each outstanding unvested equity award held by the terminated executive officer will accelerate with respect to that number of shares that would have vested had the officer remained in service for an additional 12 months.

If any payment or benefit in connection with a change in control or the subsequent termination of Dr. Chang's or a named executive officer's employment would be subject to an excise tax under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payment of benefit will be reduced to the extent necessary to maximize his net after tax benefits.

As a condition to the severance payments and benefits, each named executive officer (including Dr. Chang) must deliver a general release of all claims against us and our affiliates. In addition, severance benefits are conditioned on the executive's continued compliance with non-compete and non-solicitation restrictive covenants for the severance period.

For purposes of Dr. Chang's employment agreement and the retention agreements with our named executive officers, the following definitions will be in effect:

A change in control will be deemed to occur upon (i) a merger, consolidation or other reorganization approved by our shareholders, unless our shareholders continue to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities of the successor corporation; (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or (iii) the acquisition by any person or related group of persons of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of our outstanding securities.

A resignation for good reason will be deemed to occur should the individual resign from his employment with us for any of the following reasons during the applicable change in control protection period: (i) a material diminution in his authorities, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a reduction in his base compensation; (iii) a material relocation of his existing work site; or (iv) any material breach by us of any provision of any agreement we have with such individual.

An individual's employment will be deemed to have been terminated for cause if such termination occurs by reason of: (i) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty by the individual or his conviction of a felony, (ii) any unauthorized use or disclosure by the individual of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary), (iii) any other misconduct by the individual adversely affecting the business or affairs of the Company in a material manner, (iv) the individual's failure to cure any breach of his obligations under certain agreements with the Company, or (v) the individual's breach of any of his fiduciary duties as an officer or director of the Company.

Option and Restricted Stock Unit Acceleration

The options and restricted stock units awards granted to our named executive officers under our various equity plans will each vest on an accelerated basis as to all the shares in the event those options or awards are not assumed or otherwise replaced in connection with certain changes in control or ownership of the Company. The table below sets forth the intrinsic value of the options and the restricted stock unit awards held by each named executive officer that would accelerate upon a change in control or ownership in which those options or awards and restricted stock units were not assumed or replaced had such change occurred on June 30, 2013:

Named Executive Officer	Intrinsic Value of Accelerated Options(1)		Intrinsic Value of Accelerated Units(2)
Mike F. Chang	$	—	$	163,580
Mary L. Dotz	$	—	$	14,791
Yueh-Se Ho	$	—	$	14,791
Hamza Yilmaz	$	—	$	14,791
Tony Grizelj	$	—	$	7,609
Yifan Liang	$	—	$	4,790

(1)

Such intrinsic value is determined by multiplying (A) the amount by which the fair market value per common share on June 30, 2013 ($7.64 per share) exceeded the exercise price per share in effect under each option by (B) the number of unvested shares that would vest on an accelerated basis under such option.

(2)

Such value is determined by multiplying (A) the fair market value per common share on June 30, 2013 ($7.64 per share) by (B) the number of unvested shares that would vest on an accelerated basis under such award.

Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment

Termination in Absence of Change in Control. The following table provides the total dollar value of the compensation that each named executive officer would have been entitled to receive had his employment been terminated without cause or he had resigned for good reason on June 30, 2013 in the absence of a change in control of the Company:

Named Executive Officer	Cash Severance		Health Benefits (1)		Total
Mike F. Chang	$	391,400	$	15,775	$	407,175

Termination in connection with Change in Control. The following table provides the total dollar value of the compensation that each named executive officer would be entitled to receive if his or her employment was terminated without cause or he or she resigned for good reason on June 30, 2013 in connection with a change in control of the Company in which the outstanding awards are assumed, replaced or otherwise continued. If the outstanding awards are not assumed, replaced or otherwise continued in effect, then those awards will accelerate in full at the time of the change in control and the value of the acceleration will be as set forth in the table below.

Named Executive Officer	Cash Severance		Health Benefits (1)		Accelerated Vesting of Options (2)		Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock units (3)		Total

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares, as of September 26, 2013, by:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Indemnification Arrangements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide our directors and executive officers with additional protection regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our bye-laws. Pursuant to these agreements, we will indemnify each such person (to the fullest extent permitted by Bermuda law) against all costs and expenses, including expense advances, incurred in connection with any claim by reason or arising out of any event or occurrence relating to the fact that such person is our director or executive officer or is serving at our request at another corporation or entity, or by reason of any activity or inactivity while serving in such capacity. However, we are not obligated to indemnify our directors or executive officers under these agreements if:

•

indemnification is prohibited by our bye-laws or applicable law;

•

the action initiated by the person is not authorized by our Board of Directors; or a court determines that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that such officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.

Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing policies and procedures for reviewing and approving all related party transactions as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. While we do not have a formal written policy or procedure for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions, the Audit Committee generally reviews the material facts of any such transaction and approves such transaction.

To identify related party transactions, each year we submit and require our directors and officers to complete director and officer questionnaires identifying transactions with the Company in which the director or officer or their family members have a conflict of interest. The Company reviews the questionnaire for potential related party transactions. In addition, at meetings of the Audit Committee, management may recommend related party transactions to the committee, including the material terms of the proposed transactions, for its consideration. In making its decision to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee may consider all relevant facts and circumstances available to the committee, including factors such as the aggregate value of the transaction, whether the terms of the related party transaction are no less favorable than terms generally available in an arms' length transaction and the benefit of such transaction to us.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent that the company specifically incorporates the information by reference in such filing.

Established in July 2006, the Audit Committee is currently comprised of three independent directors: Mr. Howard M. Bailey, its Chairman, and Messrs. Richard Sevcik and Thomas Steipp. Mr. Bailey was appointed to the Audit Committee and as chairman in July 2006 and Mr. Steipp was appointed to the Audit Committee in May 2007. Mr. Sevcik was appointed to serve on the Audit Committee effective in November 2012. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist our Board of Directors in its general oversight of our financial reporting, internal controls and audit functions. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, evaluation, compensation, oversight and termination of our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee reviews the results and scope of audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and reviews the accounting principles and auditing practices and procedures to be used in our financial reporting process, including its systems of internal control, and in the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent registered public accounting firm for the last fiscal year, Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), was responsible for performing an independent audit of those financial statements. As more fully explained in the Audit Committee's charter, the Audit Committee's responsibility is to provide oversight of and to review those processes. The Audit Committee does not conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures, and relies on information and representations provided by management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has relied on management's representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and on the representations of the independent registered public accounting firm included in their report on our financial statements.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with our management. Management is responsible for maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee was kept apprised of the progress of management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and provided oversight to management during the process. In connection with this oversight, the Audit Committee received periodic updates provided by management at meetings throughout the year. At the conclusion of the process, management provided the Audit Committee with a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee reviewed this report of management and Item 9A, “Control and Procedures,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the SEC, as well as Grant Thornton's reports of independent registered public accounting firm (included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K) relating to its audits of the consolidated financial statements and of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has reviewed with management and Grant Thornton (a) matters related to the conduct of the audit of the consolidated financial statements by the independent registered public accounting firm and its audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and (b) the additional analyses undertaken and procedures performed by us to support certifications by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to accompany our periodic filings with the SEC.

In addition, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with Grant Thornton, including such items as Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU Section 380), “Communication with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee has received from the independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton, the written disclosures and the letter required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the Audit Committee has discussed with Grant Thornton the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

After review of all discussions and all written correspondence described above, as well as such other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the last fiscal year be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. Shareholders are asked to approve and ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton as our independent registered public accounting firm, and to authorize our Board of Directors, acting through our Audit Committee, to determine the remuneration of such accounting firm.

Grant Thornton has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013. Grant Thornton has issued a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for our audited consolidated financial statements at and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 which appeared in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2013.

Prior to the appointment of Grant Thornton on September 26, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PricewaterhouseCoopers”) had served as our independent registered public accounting firm for each of the fiscal years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2011. On September 26, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and the subsequent interim period through September 26, 2011, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ satisfaction, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years. In addition, during the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and the subsequent interim period through September 26, 2011, there were no reportable events as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that, as described in Item 15 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, in connection with the audit of our financial statement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, PricewaterhouseCoopers identified and communicated to us four material weaknesses relating to our (i) failure to maintain a sufficient number of accounting personnel with appropriate qualifications, (ii) accounting for equity method investments, (iii) accounting for equity instruments and (iv) certain period end closing processes. We believe such material weaknesses were remediated as of June 30, 2010.

We provided PricewaterhouseCoopers with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ letter, dated September 27, 2011, was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K that we filed on September 27, 2011.

Effective on September 26, 2011, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Grant Thornton to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, and in the subsequent interim periods through September 26, 2011, we have not consulted with Grant Thornton regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us or oral advice was provided that Grant Thornton concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2014 annual general meeting of shareholders, we must have received the written proposal by such shareholder no later than June 10, 2014. Such proposals must comply with the other provisions of Rule 14a-8 and additional applicable SEC rules regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in the proxy materials. In addition, the proxy solicited by the Board of Directors for the Annual Meeting in 2014 will confer discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder proposal presented at that meeting, if we do not receive notice of such proposal prior to September 12, 2014.

If you wish to bring a matter before an annual general meeting and the proposal is submitted outside the process of Rule 14a-8, you may use the procedures set forth in the bye-laws to make a shareholder proposal, including director nominations, not intended to be included in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 so long as such proposal complies with our bye-laws. In accordance with our bye-laws, shareholder nominations and proposals may be voted on at an annual general meeting of shareholders only if such nominations and proposals are submitted to us pursuant to written notice timely and accompanied by certain information. To be timely, a shareholder's written notice must be received by us not less than 60 nor more than 180 days to the date set for the annual general meeting of shareholders (or if no such date is set, the date that is not less than 60 nor more than 180 days prior to the anniversary of the previous year's annual general meeting of shareholders). The notice must contain the information specified in Section 59(4) of our bye-laws with respect to the person to be nominated as director and include all material information on the proposal, statement or resolution to be put to the meeting, together with details of shareholder submitting the proposal, statement or resolution and such other information as may from time to time be specified by our Board. Section 59(4) of bye-laws requires a nominating shareholder to include in the notice:

•

the meeting at which the person nominated is proposed for election as a director;

•

all such information relating to the nominee as is required in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors or as may be otherwise required pursuant to Section 14 and Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act;

•

the names and addresses of the nominating shareholder and the class and number of shares which are held by such shareholder

•

a written consent of the nominee to his being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a Director, if elected.

Our Board of Directors will review proposals from eligible shareholders which it receives by that date and will determine whether any such proposal has been received in accordance with the bye-laws and whether any such proposal will be acted upon at the annual general meeting of shareholders. All shareholder proposals and shareholder nominations should be mailed to Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited, Board of Directors, c/o Investor Relations, Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, Inc. 475 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale, CA 94085.

In addition, Section 79 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, provides that shareholders representing either (i) 5% of the total voting rights of the shares eligible to vote at a general meeting of shareholders, or (ii) not less than 100 shareholders may propose any resolution which may properly be moved at the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Upon timely receipt of notice, we shall, at the expense of such shareholder(s), give our other shareholders entitled to receive notice of the next annual general meeting of shareholders notice of such proposed resolution. To be timely, the proposal requiring notice of a resolution must be deposited at our registered office at least six weeks before the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders satisfying the criteria of Section 79 may also require us to circulate a statement in respect of any matter to come before an annual general meeting of shareholders by notice deposited at our registered office not less than one week prior to the annual general meeting of shareholders.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

The members of the Board of Directors, the executive officers of the Company and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the outstanding common shares are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which require them to file reports with respect to their beneficial ownership of the common share and their transactions in such common shares. Based upon (i) the copies of Section 16 reports which the Company received from such persons for their fiscal 2013 year transactions in the common shares and their common share holdings, and (ii) written representation that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all reporting requirements under Section 16 for such year were met in a timely manner by its directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent beneficial owners.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter shall properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holder named in the proxy accompanying this statement will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies in accordance with his best judgment.

By order of the Board of Directors,


Mike F. Chang
Chairman of the Board of Directors
Dated October 8, 2013
