On March 13, 2009, a Revised Stipulation of Settlement (the "Revised Stipulation") involving Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the "Company") was filed with the United States District Court - Western District of Texas (the "Court"). The Revised Stipulation modified the terms of settlement of all pending shareholder derivative lawsuits relating to the Company's historical stock option granting practices as originally agreed by the Company on December 19, 2008 (the "Original Stipulation"). The terms of the Original Stipulation are described further in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 22, 2008.
The Revised Stipulation modified the terms of the Original Stipulation to
address the concerns of the Court raised in the Court's denial of Plaintiffs'
"Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Proposed Derivative Settlement" as
described further in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 6, 2009.
Specifically, the terms of the Revised Stipulation include: (1) the extension of
the term of the proposed corporate governance changes to seven years rather than
four years, and the extension of governance changes specifically regarding stock
options to remain in effect indefinitely, subject to shareholder approved
changes after seven years; (2) a release of claims against all defendants and
the dismissal of the derivative lawsuits with prejudice; (3) the payment by the
Company's Directors' and Officers' insurer of $2.85 million to the Company; and
(4) the withdrawal by plaintiffs of any request for an award of their attorneys'
fees and expenses.
