The ordinary shares (“Shares”) of O2Micro International Limited (the “Registrant”)
registered hereby may be represented by the Registrant’s American Depositary Shares, each of which represents 50 Shares.
American Depositary Shares issuable upon deposit of the Shares registered hereby have been registered under a separate registration
statement on Form F-6 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 7, 2005 (File
No. 333-129523).
|
(2)
|
|
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), there are also being registered such Shares as may become issuable pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the O2
Micro International Limited 2015 Share Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).
|
(3)
|
|
Pursuant to Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, a filing fee is
only being paid with respect to the registration of 100,000,000 Shares under the 2015 Plan. The Registrant previously registered
an aggregate of 300,000,000 Shares for issuance under the Company’s 2005 Share Option Plan and 2005 Share Incentive Plan
(the “2005 Plans”) pursuant to Registration Statements on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-162489 and 333-132251), and
the registration fees were previously paid for the 1,155,703 Shares that are being reallocated from the 2005 Plans to the 2015
Plan.

(4)
|
|
Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with
Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act. The price for the 100,000,000 Shares has been determined on the basis of the
average of the high and low prices reported for the Registrant’s American Depositary Shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market on March 11, 2016, or $1.48. Using a ratio of 1 American Depositary Share to 50 Shares, each Share would have a
value of $0.03.

PART II

Except to the extent that information is
deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities laws and regulations, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Cayman
Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers
and directors, except to the extent that a provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy,
such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant’s amended
and restated articles of association provide for indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses
incurred in their capacities as such, except if they acted in a willfully negligent manner or defaulted in any action against them.
The Registrant currently maintains a director and officer insurance policy and may continue to do so in the future.
The terms of the 2015 Plan also provide for
indemnification of the officers, directors and employees of the Registrant and its affiliates for any good faith action taken or
failure to act under or in connection with the 2015 Plan.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means
of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Santa Clara,
State of California, on April 15, 2016.
