Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On November 19, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended Bylaws”), effective immediately. The Amended Bylaws reduce the ownership threshold (the “Ownership Threshold”) necessary for stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders from at least 30% to at least 25% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally for the election of directors. In making this decision, the Board considered (i) the results of the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, in which a non-binding stockholder proposal to set the Ownership Threshold at 10% was approved by the Company’s stockholders, (ii) feedback received from a majority in interest of the Company’s top ten stockholders, which indicated their support for an Ownership Threshold significantly higher than the 10% threshold approved on a non-binding basis at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, and (iii) a review of the current landscape of the Company’s peers and other public companies, among other considerations.
The foregoing description of the Amended Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
