h, Ruey L. Lu, Lee-Lean Shu and Ronald R. Steger. Four of the nominees currently serve on the Board of Directors. Jack A. Bradley, the fifth member of the current Board of Directors, is not standing for re-election. Mr. Steger was recommended for nomination by our Nominating and Governance Committee to serve as our new independent director and will fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Bradley’s decision to not stand for re-election. If any of the five nominees declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as we may designate. These five nominees represent a balance of directors with a history of service on the Board and newer directors with a strong mix of relevant experience. Our Nominating and Governance Committee and Board of Directors have evaluated each of our nominees against the factors and principles we use to select nominees for director, which are described elsewhere in this proxy statement. Based on this evaluation, our Nominating and Governance Committee and Board of Directors concluded that it is in the best interests of GSI Technology and its stockholders for each of the five nominees named above to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. If a quorum is present and voting, the five nominees for director receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. A WITHHOLD vote will have no effect on the vote. Our Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee named herein will be unable or unwilling to serve. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the five nominees named above. The table below sets forth information, as of June 30, 2025, regarding our current directors who are nominees for election at the annual meeting, along with director nominee Mr. Steger:
