    Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     
    (a)
    Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
     
    On June 12, 2025, Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). As described under Item 5.07 below, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Charter”) to provide for a phased-in elimination of the classified Board of Directors (the “Board”) structure. The Amended Charter became effective upon acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 12, 2025.
     
    Pursuant to the Amended Charter, the classified Board structure will be eliminated over time and replaced with an annual election of directors as follows: (1) each class of directors will have one more election in which it is elected for a three-year term at the Company’s 2025, 2026 and 2027 annual meetings of stockholders; (2) at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the Class III directors will be elected to a two-year term; (3) at the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, the Class I directors will be elected to a one-year term; and (4) commencing with the 2030 annual meeting of stockholders, the classified Board will fully terminate and all directors will be elected to one-year terms at each annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, consistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Amended Charter specifies that as long as the Board is classified (that is, until the election of directors at the 2030 annual meeting of stockholders), directors may be removed only for cause. Commencing with the 2030 annual meeting of stockholders, directors may be removed with or without cause.
     
    The foregoing description of the Amended Charter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Charter, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
     
    (b)
    Amended and Restated Bylaws
     
    The Board also approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended Bylaws”), which became effective upon acceptance of the Amended Charter by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 12, 2025. The Amended Bylaws provide for a phased-in elimination of the classified Board structure consistent with the Amended Charter. The Amended Bylaws did not require stockholder approval. 
     
    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, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.
     
    Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
