Item 2.

Identity and Background.

The following paragraphs amend and supplement Item 2:

This Ninth Amendment is being filed jointly by the parties to the Schedule 13D, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, the Seventh Amendment and the Eighth Amendment.

Appendix B is amended to include the following information with respect to the executive officers and directors of the parties jointly filing the Schedule 13D:

(a)

name;

(b)	business address (or residence where indicated);

(c)	present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted; and

(d)	citizenship.

Except as described below, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Appendix A or Appendix B hereto (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

In July 2007, the CFTC found that on certain occasions from 2001 to 2005 Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments (“MLAI”) violated CFTC Regulation 4.22(c) by failing to timely file commodity pool annual reports with the National Futures Association and to timely distribute such reports to pool participants. Without admitting or denying the allegations, MLAI agreed to a cease-and-desist order and paid a fine in the amount of $500,000.

As part of a settlement relating to managing auctions for auction rate securities (“ARS”), the Commission accepted the offers of settlement of 15 broker-dealer firms, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), and issued a settlement order on May 31, 2006. The Commission found, and MLPF&S neither admitted nor denied, that respondents (including MLPF&S) violated section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 by managing auctions for ARS in ways that were not adequately disclosed or that did not conform to disclosed procedures. MLPF&S consented to a cease and desist order, a censure, a civil money penalty, and compliance with certain undertakings.

On August 21, 2008, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. reached an agreement in principle with the New York attorney general, state securities regulators, and the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to ARS. Without admitting or denying wrongdoing, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. agreed to accelerate a previously announced offer to purchase ARS from retail clients, use best efforts to provide liquidity solutions for institutional holders of ARS, pay a civil money penalty, and compensate other eligible clients who purchased ARS and sold them at a loss.

On March 13, 2006, MLPF&S entered into a settlement with the Commission whereby the Commission alleged, and MLPF&S neither admitted nor denied, that MLPF&S failed to furnish promptly to representatives of the Commission electronic mail communications (“e-mails”) as required under Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4(j) thereunder. The Commission also alleged, and MLPF&S neither admitted nor denied, that MLPF&S failed to retain certain e-mails related to its business as such in violation of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4(b)(4) thereunder. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, MLPF&S consented to a cease and desist order, a censure, a civil money penalty of $2,500,000,

and compliance with certain undertakings relating to the retention of e-mails and the prompt production of e-mails to the Commission.

In March 2005, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and certain of its affiliates (Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and its affiliates collectively, “Merrill Lynch”) reached agreements with the State of New Jersey and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and reached an agreement in principle with the State of Connecticut pursuant to which Merrill Lynch, without admitting or denying the allegations, consented to a settlement that included findings that it failed to maintain certain books and records and to reasonably supervise a team of former financial analysts (“FAs”) who facilitated improper market timing by a hedge fund client. Merrill Lynch terminated the FAs in October 2003, brought the matter to the attention of regulators, and cooperated fully in the regulators’ review. The settlement will result in aggregate payments of $13.5 million.

In March 2005, Merrill Lynch reached an agreement in principle with the NYSE pursuant to which Merrill Lynch, without admitting or denying the allegations, later consented to a settlement that included findings with regard to certain matters relating to the failure to deliver prospectuses for certain auction rate preferred shares and open-end mutual funds; the failure to deliver product descriptions with regard to certain exchange-traded funds; the failure to ensure that proper registration qualifications were obtained for certain personnel; issues with regard to the retention, retrieval and review of e-mails; isolated lapses in branch office supervision; late reporting of certain events such as customer complaints and arbitrations; the failure to report certain complaints in quarterly reports to the NYSE due to a systems error; and partial non-compliance with Continuing Education requirements. The settlement resulted in a payment of $10 million to the NYSE.

On November 3, 2004, a jury in Houston, Texas convicted four former Merrill Lynch employees of criminal misconduct in connection with a Nigerian barge transaction that the government alleged helped Enron inflate its 1999 earnings by $12 million. The jury also found that the transaction led to investor losses of $13.7 million. Those convictions were reversed by a federal appellate court on August 1, 2006, except for one conviction against one employee based on perjury and obstruction of justice. The government has appealed the reversals. In 2003, Merrill Lynch agreed to pay $80 million to settle Commission charges that it aided and abetted Enron's fraud by engaging in two improper year-end transactions in 1999, including the Nigerian barge transaction. The $80 million paid in connection with the settlement with the Commission will be made available to settle investor claims. In September 2003, the United States Department of Justice agreed not to prosecute Merrill Lynch for crimes that may have been committed by its former employees related to certain transactions with Enron, subject to certain understandings, including Merrill Lynch’s continued cooperation with the Department, its acceptance of responsibility for conduct of its former employees, and its agreement to adopt and implement new policies and procedures related to the integrity of client and counter-party financial statements, complex structured finance transactions and year-end transactions.

On or about June 27, 2003, the Attorney General for the State of West Virginia brought an action against the defendants that participated in the April 28, 2003, settlement described below. The action, filed in the West Virginia State Court, alleged that the defendants’ research practices violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. On

September 16, 2005, the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia, dismissed the case, following an earlier decision by the West Virginia Supreme Court holding that the West Virginia Attorney General lacked authority to bring the claims. On April 28, 2003, the Commission, NYSE, National Association of Securities Dealers, and state securities regulators announced that the settlements-in-principle that the regulators had disclosed on December 20, 2002, had been reduced to final settlements with regard to ten securities firms, including Merrill Lynch. On October 31, 2003, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered final judgments in connection with the April 28, 2003 research settlements. The final settlements pertaining to Merrill Lynch, which involved both monetary and non-monetary relief, brought to a conclusion the regulatory actions against Merrill Lynch related to its research practices. Merrill Lynch entered into these settlements without admitting or denying the allegations and findings by the regulators, and the settlements did not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceedings.

For further information, reference is made to the Form ADV of Merrill Lynch on file with, and publicly available on the website of, the Commission.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The following paragraphs amend and supplement Item 4:

On July 3, 2003, PSi Technologies, Inc. (“PSi Technologies”) issued to Merrill Lynch Global Emerging Markets Partners, LLC (“MLGEMP LLC”) a $4.0 million aggregate principal amount 10% Senior Subordinated Note (the “Note”). On August 15, 2008, MLGEMP LLC and PSi Technologies entered into the Third Amendment to Exchangeable Senior Subordinate Note (the “Third Amended Note”) pursuant to which the maturity date of the Note was changed from August 15, 2008 to June 1, 2009, among other things.

On August 15, 2008, MLGEMP LLC, PSi Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”) and PSi Technologies entered into an Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (the “Amended Exchange Agreement”) which amended and restated the Exchange Agreement, dated July 3, 2003, among MLGEMP LLC, the Issuer and PSi Technologies. Under the Amended Exchange Agreement, the Issuer granted MLGEMP LLC an irrevocable right to exchange all or part of the Note for shares of common stock of the Issuer (the “Exchange Right”) at a per share price of $0.2682 (the “Note Exercise Price”). MLGEMP LLC may also, in its sole discretion, elect to replace all of its Exchange Rights with the right (the “Mandatory Issuance Right”) to assign a portion or all of the Notes to the Issuer and subscribe for shares of common stock (the “Mandatory Issuance”) at a price per share equal to the then par value of one share of common stock of the Issuer. If MLGEMP LLC exercises its Mandatory Issuance Rights, the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer to be issued to MLGEMP LLC shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount of the Note then outstanding by the Note Exercise Price then in effect. The Note Exercise Price is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments as stated in the Amended Exchange Agreement, which take effect if the Issuer issues or sells common stock or Common Stock Equivalent (as defined in the Amended Exchange Agreement) without consideration or at a price per share less then their current market price while an Exchange Right or Mandatory Issuance Right is outstanding. Under the Amended Exchange Agreement, the Issuer will, at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of

common stock for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of the Notes or pursuant to a Mandatory Issuance, the lesser of (a) such number of shares of common stock as are issuable upon the exchange of all the then outstanding Notes and pursuant to a Mandatory Issuance and (b) all of its then authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Because the Issuer does not currently have a sufficient amount of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to exchange the Notes, the Amended Exchange Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2005, among the Issuer, PSi Technologies and MLGEMP LLC (the “2005 Exchange Agreement”), the Issuer has agreed that at any time and from time to time, MLGEMP LLC may request that Issuer use its reasonable best efforts to increase the number of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock to a number of shares of common stock that is not greater than the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable (A) upon the exchange of all then outstanding Notes or pursuant to a Mandatory Issuance, in each case pursuant to the Amended Exchange Agreement, and (B) pursuant to the 2005 Exchange Agreement. Following receipt of such request, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of common stock accordingly as promptly as practicable thereafter and shall keep MLGEMP LLC reasonably informed with respect thereto.

On August 15, 2008, Merrill Lynch Global Emerging Markets Partners, L.P., (“MLGEMP LP”), MLGEMP LLC and Greathill Pte. Ltd (“GPL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Primasia and Bridge No.1 Greater China Secondary Fund, L.P., and managed by Primasia Private Equity Management Limited, entered into a Consent and Agreement (the “Consent and Agreement”), pursuant to which GPL waived its consent rights under that certain Shareholders Agreement, among MLGEMP LP, GPL and other shareholders, dated May 29, 2001 (the “Shareholders Agreement”), with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Exchange Agreement. GPL beneficially own 1,955,741 shares of the Issuer (“GPL Shares”), pursuant to which GPL, with respect to the GPL Shares, grants to MLGEMP LLC an irrevocable proxy to vote the GPL Shares with respect to certain matters at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer.

On August 15, 2008, the Issuer, PSi Technologies and MLGEMP LLC, entered into a Waiver Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which MLGEMP LLC waives an event of default (“Event of Default”) that may arise as of the date thereof as a result of the Issuers’ failure to comply with Sections 4(a)(ii), Section 4(a)(iii) and Section 6(a) of the 2005 Exchange Agreement, upon entering into or performance of the Amended Exchange Agreement, but only to the extent such Event of Default relates to a deficiency in the number of shares of authorized but unissued common stock of the Issuer.

Except as set forth above, as of the date hereof, none of the reporting persons, or to the knowledge or belief of the reporting persons, any of the individuals listed in Appendix B, has any present plan or intention which relates to or would result in any of the actions set forth in parts (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

MLGEMP LLC from time to time intends to review its investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer's securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, and subject to the restrictions set forth in agreements it has entered into with PSi Technologies and the Issuer, MLGEMP LLC will take

such actions in the future as MLGEMP LLC may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.

The descriptions of the Third Amended Note, the Amended Exchange Agreement, the Consent and Agreement and the Waiver Agreement contained in this Ninth Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified by the complete text of the agreements filed as Exhibits to this Ninth Amendment.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The following paragraphs amend and supplement Item 5:

PSi Technologies issued the Note to MLGEMP LLC on July 3, 2003. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Issuer may elect to pay any of the accrued interest by adding it to the principal amount of the Note, as the Issuer has done on each June 30 and December 31 since June 30, 2005. On August 15, 2008, MLGEMP LLC and PSi Technologies entered into the Third Amendment to Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Note pursuant to which the maturity date of the Note was changed from August 15, 2008 to June 1, 2009. As of June 30, 2008, the interest accrued since December 31, 2007 was added to the principal amount of the Note and, on June 1, 2009, the maturity date of the Note, the interest accrued since June 30, 2008 will be added to the principal amount of the Note. At such time, the aggregate principal amount of the Note and the interest accrued thereon will be approximately $6,111,772. As of June 1, 2009, the Note will be exchangeable for approximately 21,827,757 shares of common stock of the Issuer.

MLGEMP LLC and GPL entered into the Consent and Agreement pursuant to which GPL waived its consent rights under the Shareholders Agreement, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Exchange Agreement and GPL granted to MLGEMP LLC an irrevocable proxy to vote the GPL Shares with respect to certain matters at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer. As a result of such agreement, MLGEMP LLC and the other parties to the Schedule 13D, as amended, may be deemed to be members of a group and therefore, deemed to share the power to vote the GPL Shares. MLGEMP LLC and each other person filing this Schedule 13D, as amended, disclaim beneficial ownership of the GPL shares.
