Feb 8, 2008 06:30:01 (ET)


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Feb 08, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Simtek Corporation (SMTK, Trade ), the inventor, pioneer, and world\'s leading supplier of nonvolatile static random access memory (nvSRAM) integrated circuits, today commented on the Schedule 13D/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (\"Cypress\"), on February 6, 2008. The Cypress filing stated, in part, that Cypress has contacted Simtek representatives with the intent to explore a potential acquisition of the Company.

Harold A. Blomquist, Simtek\'s president and chief executive officer stated, \"Simtek has not been contemplating selling the Company. However, in response to recent actions by Cypress, we will consider all options. The Company intends to engage an advisor to assist management and the Board with respect to this and other strategic options in order to maximize long-term value for shareholders.\"

Blomquist concluded, \"We are prepared to enter into more serious discussions with Cypress and other potential strategic partners. The value of Simtek\'s overall business is a function of three elements: the Company\'s core nvSRAM business, new products being launched in 2008 at 4 megabit and larger densities, and new high density nvRAMs being developed in the Company\'s San Diego design center, each of which has potential for sustained and considerable growth.\"
