29 September 2015 - Today, Dialog Semiconductor (XTRA: DLG) and Atmel
Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML) amended the merger agreement that Dialog and
Atmel announced on 20 September 2015. Pursuant to this amendment, Dialog
and Atmel clarified that the only required vote of Dialog shareholders will
be to authorize the board of directors of Dialog to allot and issue the
ordinary shares underlying the American Depositary Shares to be issued in
connection with the acquisition of Atmel. The vote required to approve this
matter is a simple majority of the ordinary shares present and voting at
the meeting in person or by proxy. This amendment was based on Dialog's
determination that an amendment of its articles of association will not be
required to complete the transaction. The merger agreement amendment
deletes the reference to a possible articles amendment and the 75% vote
that would have been required for such an amendment. Dialog expects that
its shareholder meeting will be held in the fourth quarter of 2015.
