London UK, 22 July 2014 - Further to the announcement made on 26 June 2014,
Dialog announces that, despite extensive discussions, it has been unable to
agree suitable terms for a transaction and has terminated discussions with

Dialog will continue to execute on its strategy to become a leading

"With the end of these discussions, it is business as usual, namely
delivering increasing value for our shareholders. We will continue on our
profitable growth path - as demonstrated by our track record - and build a
truly vibrant, global and diversified mixed signal semiconductor business."

Dialog will be providing its second quarter financial results as planned in
an earnings call scheduled for 30 July 2014.
