As previously disclosed in the proxy statement, on January 3, 2013 MIPS Technologies, the individual defendants, Bridge Crossing, AST, Imagination Technologies and Merger Sub entered into a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action providing for the settlement in principle of the claims brought on behalf of the class in the Consolidated Action. Although the parties to the memorandum of understanding had agreed to include unlevered free cash flow projections in the proxy statement as part of the agreement to settle the Consolidated Action, the memorandum of understanding signed by all parties inadvertently omitted the unlevered free cash flow projections disclosure and it was not included in the proxy statement. These unlevered free cash flow projections are being disclosed herein to correct that oversight.

On January 11, 2013, MIPS entered into a stipulation with the plaintiffs in the Capgrowth Action and Minjarez Action in which the parties agreed that the settlement in the Consolidated Action in Delaware plus certain supplemental disclosures made herein resolve the claims asserted in the Capgrowth Action and the Minjarez Action.

SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

In connection with the resolution of the lawsuits referenced above, MIPS has agreed to make these supplemental disclosures to the proxy statement. This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent defined terms are used but not defined herein, they have the meanings set forth in the proxy statement.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—THE PATENT SALE

Opinion of Our Financial Advisor on the Patent Sale

The disclosure under the heading “The Patent Sale — Opinion of Our Financial Advisor on the Patent Sale” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following sentence to the end of the first paragraph of the subsection titled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on page 65 of the proxy statement:

For the purposes of the Ocean Tomo opinion, "free cash flow" was calculated on the portfolio as earnings before interest, depreciation or amortization, but net of taxes.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—THE MERGER

Opinion of Our Financial Advisor on the Merger

The disclosure under the heading “The Merger— Opinion of Our Financial Advisor on the Merger” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following sentence after the second sentence of the first paragraph of the subsection titled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on page 96 of the proxy statement:

Stock-based compensation was treated as a cash expense in this analysis.

The disclosure under the heading “The Merger— Opinion of Our Financial Advisor on the Merger” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following sentence after the sixth sentence of the first paragraph of the subsection titled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on page 96 of the proxy statement:

The range of perpetual growth rates was estimated by J.P. Morgan based on financial projections of the Company and J.P. Morgan’s view of long-term U.S. economic growth.

The disclosure under the heading “The Merger— Certain Unaudited Financial Projections” is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the penultimate sentence of the last paragraph on page 97 of the proxy statement with the following:

For Case 1 and Case 2, MIPS Technologies assumed a tax rate of 35%, capital expenditures of approximately $1 million, a depreciation expense of approximately $1 million and no changes in working capital for each projected fiscal year. MIPS Technologies assumed no change in working capital because the business approximately breaks even on a cash basis and the $1 million of capital expenditures offsets the $1 million depreciation expense.

The disclosure under the heading “The Merger— Certain Unaudited Financial Projections” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph and table after the table labeled "Budget for FY2013E" on page 100 of the proxy statement:

In addition, J.P. Morgan calculated the unlevered free cash flows that MIPS Technologies is expected to generate during fiscal years 2013 through 2025 based upon the Case 1 and Case 2 financial projections prepared by the management of MIPS Technologies through the fiscal year ended 2020, and extrapolated by J.P. Morgan after discussion with management through 2025, which management subsequently reviewed and approved for J.P. Morgan’s use. The following table sets forth the unlevered free cash flows used by J.P. Morgan in performing its discounted cash flow analysis:

Free Cash Flow ($ in millions)

	FY2013E	FY2014E	FY2015E	FY2016E	FY2017E	FY2018E	FY2019E	FY2020E

Litigation Related to the Merger

The disclosure under the heading “The Merger— Litigation Related to the Merger” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph immediately after the penultimate paragraph on page 109 of the proxy statement:

On January 11, 2013, the parties to the Capgrowth Action and the Minjarez Action executed and filed with the California Court a stipulation acknowledging that the settlement in the Consolidated Action in Delaware plus certain

additional disclosures made in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 11, 2013 resolve the claims in the Capgrowth Action and the Minjarez Action.
