## Acquisition in 2011 

On 10 February 2011, Dialog Semiconductor Plc acquired 100% of the voting shares of SiTel Semiconductor B.V. (“SiTel”, now Dialog Semiconductor B.V.), an unlisted company headquartered and incorporated in the Netherlands and a leader in short-range wireless, digital cordless and VoIP technology. 

Dialog acquired SiTel in order to expand its product portfolio with short-range wireless and VoIP based internet connectivity products. This will allow Dialog to develop new products for these markets as well as to cross-sell Dialog’s existing Power Management technology to SiTel’s customer base. The acquisition significantly expands Dialog’s addressable market targeting high growth wireless personal devices.
