Item 8.01. Other Events.

Power Integrations, Inc. (the “Company”) has distributed to its stockholders a proxy statement for its 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 7, 2007. Proposal 3 included in the proxy statement relates to approval of the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), as set forth in the proxy statement.

The 2007 Plan currently provides that: (i) if shares of common stock subject to a stock award are not delivered to a participant because such shares are withheld for the payment of taxes, (ii) a stock award is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the stock award (i.e., “net exercised”), or (iii) an appreciation distribution in respect of a stock appreciation right is paid in shares of common stock, then the number of shares subject to the stock award that are not delivered to the participant will remain available for subsequent issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, the 2007 Plan currently provides that if the exercise price of any stock award is satisfied by tendering shares of common stock held by a participant (either by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered will remain available for issuance under the Plan.

The Company will amend the 2007 Plan to provide that: (i) if shares of common stock subject to a stock award are not delivered to a participant because such shares are withheld for the payment of taxes, (ii) a stock award is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the stock award (i.e., “net exercised”), or (iii) an appreciation distribution in respect of a stock appreciation right is paid in shares of common stock, then the number of shares subject to the stock award that are not delivered to the participant will not remain available for subsequent issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, the Company will amend the 2007 Plan to provide that if the exercise price of a stock award is satisfied by tendering shares of common stock held by a participant (either by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered will not remain available for issuance under the Plan.
