Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On December 17, 2004, Microtune, Inc.’s German subsidiary, Microtune GmbH & Co. KG (“Microtune GmbH”), entered into certain agreements with Pensor Pensionsfonds AG and Allianz-Pensions-Management e.V. to convert Microtune GmbH’s defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution pension plan. Under the terms of this transaction, Microtune GmbH will pay Pensor Pensionsfonds AG approximately 972,000 euros to fully fund its pension obligation related to past service of employees and will consequently eliminate a reserve of approximately 880,000 euros related to the former defined benefit pension plan. Going forward, Microtune GmbH will periodically pay Allianz-Pensions-Management e.V. nominal amounts to fund the Company’s pension obligations related to future employee service.
