CUSIP No.683960108

 
Item 1.     Security and Issuer.

The name of the issuer is OPTi, Inc., a California corporation (the "Issuer"). The address of the Issuer's offices is 3430 W. Bayshore Road, Suite 103, Palo Alto, California 94303. This Amendment 9 to Schedule 13D relates to the Issuer's Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Shares").

 
Item 2.     Identity and Background.

(a-c, f) This Amendment 9 to Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by (i) S. Muoio & Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SMC"), (ii) Salvatore Muoio, a United States citizen, (iii) SM Investors II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Investors II") and (iv) SM L/S, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("L/S") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is 509 Madison Avenue, Suite 406, New York, NY 10022.

Salvatore Muoio is the managing member of SMC, an investment management firm that serves as the general partner and/or investment manager to a number of private investment vehicles and managed accounts.  Investors II and L/S are two such funds for which SMC serves as general partner.

(d) None of the Reporting Persons, individually or collectively, has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, 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.

 
Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

SMC, the investment manager and general partner of a number of private investment vehicles and managed accounts, may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,290,105 Shares held by such entities.

Salvatore Muoio, through his position as the managing member of SMC, is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 3,290,105 Shares held by the private investment vehicles and managed accounts over which SMC exercises investment discretion.

Investors II, a private investment fund structured as a Delaware limited partnership for which SMC serves as general partner, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,309,846 Shares.

L/S, a private investment fund structured as a Delaware limited partnership for which SMC serves as general partner, may be deemed to beneficially own 902,947 Shares.

The funds for the purchase of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons came from the respective funds of the private investment vehicles and managed accounts over which the Reporting Persons exercise investment discretion.

No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Shares, other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes (including certain leverage arrangements) in the ordinary course of business.

 
Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons have engaged in, and plan to continue to engage in, discussions with management and/or representatives of the board of directors of the Issuer concerning its direction and financial and strategic alternatives including the appointment of representatives of the Reporting Persons to the Issuer's board of directors, the timing and characterization of distributions of cash to shareholders and the potential orderly liquidation of the Issuer. Depending upon the outcome of their discussions with the Issuer, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate a plan or proposal with respect to the Issuer, including a plan or proposal that could result in any of the actions enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
 
 
 

 
 
The Reporting Persons sent a letter dated May 13, 2011 (a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit C to Amendment No. 8 to this Schedule 13D) to the Issuer to indicate their view that the Issuer's proxy statement dated April 25, 2011 relating to the Issuer's forthcoming annual meeting of shareholders contains certain inaccuracies, and that a representative of the Reporting Persons intended to attend the meeting in person and vote thereat as described in the letter.  The Issuer sent a letter dated May 16, 2011 (a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit D to Amendment No. 8 to this Schedule 13D) in response to the Reporting Persons' letter (the "Issuer Letter").  On May 18, 2011, the Reporting Persons sent a further letter (a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit E to Amendment No. 8 to this Schedule 13D) to respond to the Issuer Letter to clarify certain points concerning the Reporting Persons' intentions as regards the Issuer's annual meeting of shareholders.  The Issuer sent a letter dated May 19, 2011 (a copy of which was previously filed by the Issuer on May 20, 2011 as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K report) in response to that letter.
 
On May 23, 2011 the Issuer held its annual meeting of shareholders.  A representative of the Reporting Persons (the "Proxy Holder") attended the meeting as proxy for the Reporting Persons.  Pursuant to Section 708 of the California Corporations Code and Section 2.8 of the Issuer's by-laws, the Proxy Holder nominated Mr. Robert Edelman for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors at the meeting, gave notice of his intention to cumulate votes in the election of directors at the meeting, demanded that voting for election of directors at the meeting be conducted by written ballot and voted all of the Reporting Persons' shares, cumulatively, for Mr. Edelman.  The Reporting Persons believe that the number of votes cast for the election of Mr. Edelman exceeded the number of votes cast for the election of any other candidate and that the Issuer improperly denied the Proxy Holder the right to so nominate, and vote cumulatively for, Mr. Edelman.
 
On May 27, 2011 the Issuer filed a Form 8-K report setting forth the results of the election held at the meeting.  The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer improperly failed to recognize the nomination and election of Mr. Edelman.  The Reporting Persons are considering their options in light of the Issuer's actions as described above.

Further, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to revise their plans or intentions and to take any and all actions that they may deem appropriate to maximize the value of their investment in the Issuer in light of their general investment policies, market conditions, and subsequent developments affecting the Issuer.
 
Other than as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have not at this time elected to pursue any particular course of action or have any other plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which relate to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
