99.1		Text of press release issued by IXYS Corporation, dated August 2, 2017.

1. Net revenues;
2. Gross margin;
3. Adjusted EBITDA; and
4. Discretionary.

~~SIGNATURE~~The Committee defined “Adjusted EBITDA” to mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense.

Weights are accorded each objective. The weight accorded each of the first three objectives is 30%. The weight accorded the fourth objective, discretionary, is 10%.

Each of the first three objectives will be evaluated quantitatively, using a numerical value determined by the Committee for each of the performance levels of threshold, target and maximum. The discretionary objective will be evaluated through a qualitative assessment.

With respect to the three quantitative objectives, the Committee intends that outcomes between threshold and target be interpolated linearly between the amount of threshold award and the amount of the target award applicable to that objective and that outcomes between target and maximum be interpolated linearly between the amount of the target award and the amount of the maximum award applicable to that objective. For any objective, such applicable amounts shall be determined by the multiplication of the award for a performance level by the weight for the objective.

On August 5, 2017, the Committee increased the annual salary rate of Mr. Sasson to $450,000 per year, effective immediately.
