Notes to Notice of AGM

1. Documents provided

This notice of the AGM (Notice) is being sent to all members and all CI Holders as defined in the Articles (the CI Holders together with the members, the Shareholders).

A separate letter from the CEO of the Company (the Letter to Shareholders) incorporating further details of how Shareholders may attend and vote at the AGM and important notes for AGM registration, proxy appointment and voting instructions (Important Notes) is available on the Company's website: http://www.dialog-semiconductor.com - Investor Relations - Annual General Meeting and is included with the Notice sent to Shareholders.

2. Entitlement to attend and vote

The Company, pursuant to the Articles, specifies that only those Shareholders entered in the register of members of the Company or the CI Register (as defined in the Articles) (together the Registers of Members) at 9am BST (10am CEST) on 2 May 2017, or if this meeting is adjourned, in the appropriate Registers of Members 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares (or in the case of CI Holders, interests in shares) registered in their name at that time. Changes to the entries in the Registers of Members after 9am BST (10am CEST) on 2 May 2017, or if this meeting is adjourned, in the Registers of Members less than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting, shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.

3. Personal attendance

Shareholders wishing to attend the AGM in person should request an Admission Card by following the procedure described at section 1 ('Request for an Admission Card') in the reply form attached to the Letter to Shareholders (the Reply Form).

4. Proxies

Shareholders who are unable to attend the AGM may appoint one or more proxies (who need not be a Shareholder) to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share/CI or shares/CIs held by his appointer. A Shareholder may only appoint a proxy or proxies by following the procedure described at section 2 ('Appointment of Proxy and Voting Instructions') in the Reply Form. Your proxy appointment must be received no later than 9am BST (10am CEST) on 2 May 2017. Further details in relation to the appointment of proxies are given in the Reply Form and Important Notes.

5. Questions at the AGM

Under section 319A of the Act, any member attending the AGM has the right to ask questions. The Company must answer any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting unless:

*	answering the question would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
*	the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
*	it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.

6. Number of issued shares and total voting rights

As at 27 March 2017 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) comprised 78,082,749 ordinary shares of 10p each carrying one vote each and having an aggregate nominal value of £7,808,275. Therefore the total voting rights in the Company as at 27 March 2017 are 78,082,749.

7. Nominated persons

Any person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Act to enjoy information rights (a Nominated Person) may have a right, under an agreement between him and the Shareholder by whom he was nominated, to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the Shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.

The statement of the rights of Shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in note 4 to this Notice does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in that note can only be exercised by Shareholders.

8. Corporate representatives

A corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all its powers as a member provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises power over the same share/CI. Any corporate Shareholder who wishes (or who may wish) to appoint more than one corporate representative should contact Martina Zawadzki by email at dialog@art-of-conference.de or by telephone on +49 (0) 711 5087 7107.

Explanatory Notes for Resolutions to be proposed at AGM

Resolutions

Resolutions 1 to 11 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. To pass these Resolutions more than 50% of the votes cast on each Resolution must be in favour. Resolutions 12 to 18 are proposed as special resolutions. To pass a special resolution not less than 75% of the votes cast on the Resolution must be in favour.

Resolution 1 - Receipt of Report and Accounts

The Directors must present the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 to the AGM. The Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 are also available on the Company's website: http://www.dialog-semiconductor. com - Investor Relations - Reports & Filings - Annual Reports. Please note that the Directors do not propose to declare a dividend.

Resolution 2 - Approval of Directors' Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 439 of the Act, Shareholders are required to approve a resolution on the Directors' Remuneration Report (excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy). The vote on Resolution 2 is advisory. The Directors' Remuneration Report is set out at pages 70 to 79 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 which is available on the Company's website: http://www.dialog-semiconductor.com - Investor Relations - Reports & Filings - Annual Reports.

Shareholders are not required to vote on the Directors' Remuneration Policy this year (a copy is available at pages 80 to 85 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 and on the Company's website: http://www.dialog-semiconductor.com - Investor Relations - Reports & Filings - Annual Reports). The Company presented the Remuneration Policy to Shareholders for approval, a vote which was binding on the Company, at the 2016 Annual General Meeting. 82.6% of the votes cast on the resolution were in favour of the Remuneration Policy and that approval remains effective for a period of three years from the 2016 Annual General Meeting or until the Company proposes to change the Remuneration Policy. A remuneration policy will be put to Shareholders again no later than the date of the Company's AGM in 2019.

Resolutions 3 and 4 - Appointment and remuneration of Auditor

Deloitte LLP are required by section 489(1) of the Act to retire at the AGM and seek re-appointment. The Act also requires Shareholders to determine the manner in which the Auditor is remunerated. Resolution 4 gives authority to the Directors to determine the Auditor's remuneration.

Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 - Re-appointment of Directors

Pursuant to the Articles one third of the Directors shall retire at each AGM and, in line with best practice, those Non-executive Directors who have been members of the Board for in excess of nine years are subject to annual re-election.

Biographical details for each of them are set out below, and a separate Resolution is proposed for each re-appointment. In line with the Company's commitment to ongoing Board refreshment and renewal, Russell Shaw is retiring at the AGM and will not be seeking re-appointment. The Board has confirmed that Eamonn O'Hare, Christopher Burke and Aidan Hughes, who are each seeking re-appointment as an Independent Non-executive Director, continue to perform effectively and demonstrate commitment to their roles. Therefore the Board considers that each of Eamonn O'Hare, Christopher Burke and Aidan Hughes should be re-appointed as their wider, current and relevant business experience allows them to contribute effectively to the leadership of the Company.

Resolution 10 - Directors' authority to allot shares

The purpose of Resolution 10 is to renew the Directors' authority to issue shares until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting up to an aggregate nominal value of £2,600,156 equating to 26,001,560 shares.

The nominal amount of relevant securities to which this authority will relate represents approximately one third of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) of 78,082,749 shares as at 27 March 2017 (being the last practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of AGM). As at 27 March 2017, the Company held 2,783,206 ordinary shares in treasury which represents approximately 3.56% of the Company's issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) at that time.

Resolution 11 - Additional authority to allot shares in connection with a rights issue

UK investor guidelines (the Investment Association Share Capital Management Guidelines) make it acceptable to give authority to the Directors to issue up to a further third of the issued share capital (over and above the authority granted under Resolution 10) provided it is only applied on the basis of a rights issue. If any of the additional authority in Resolution 11 is used, all the Directors of the Company wishing to remain in office shall stand for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Resolutions 12 and 13 - Disapplication of pre-emption rights

If Directors wish to issue shares or sell treasury shares for cash they have to abide by the statutory pre-emption rights in the Act. This means that, subject to limited exceptions (including shares allotted under the Company's share and incentive schemes, which are themselves subject to limits), Directors have to offer any shares they want to issue or treasury shares they want to sell for cash to existing Shareholders first.

Resolution 12 seeks to give the Directors authority to disapply the statutory pre-emption rights where (i) the share issue relates to a pre-emptive issue (in which case all holders of ordinary shares would be made an offer to participate anyway); or (ii) where the allotment or transfer or sale of treasury shares for cash is limited to equity securities having a maximum aggregate nominal value of £390,414 equating to 3,904,140 shares which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of 78,082,749 shares, as at 27 March 2017 (being the last practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of AGM).

Resolution 13 will empower the directors, in addition to the authority set out in Resolution 12, to allot ordinary shares in the capital of the Company for cash or sell treasury shares for cash (other than pursuant to an employee equity incentive share scheme) on a non-pre-emptive basis provided that the power shall be (i) limited to allotments or sales of up to a maximum nominal value of £390,414 (equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares), as at 27 March 2017); and (ii) used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on disapplying pre-emption rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this Notice of AGM.

Resolutions 12 and 13 are in line with the template resolutions published by the Pre-Emption Group in May 2016.

The Directors do not have any present intention of exercising the authority granted by Resolutions 12 and 13 and do not intend to issue more than 7.5% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) on a (non-exempt) non pre-emptive basis, save as permitted in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment as described above, in any rolling three-year period without prior consultation with Shareholders.

Resolutions 14, 15, 16 and 17 - Contingent forward share purchase contracts for off-market purchases of own shares

If passed, Resolutions 14, 15, 16 and 17 (each a Buyback Resolution and together the Buyback Resolutions), give authority for the Company to enter into a contingent forward share purchase contract (each a Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contract and together the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts) with each of Barclays, Goldman Sachs, HSBC and Merrill Lynch (each a Broker and together the Brokers) to purchase from one or more of such Brokers, in aggregate, up to 7,808,280 of its ordinary shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 27 March 2017 (being the last practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of AGM).

The purpose of the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts is to permit the Company to make off-market purchases of the Company's ordinary shares as a method of returning surplus cash to Shareholders. Any such purchases will be made out of the Company's distributable profits. The Directors will only exercise the Company's rights under the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts if they believe at that time that purchases pursuant to such contracts would be in the best interests of the Shareholders generally and could result in an increase in earnings per ordinary share. The price per share to be paid by the Company to any Broker would be equal to or less than the Average VWAP (as defined below) for the relevant trading period.

The Company may not make market purchases of its shares authorised in accordance with section 701 of the Act because the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) is not a recognised investment exchange for the purpose of section 693 of the Act.

Therefore, if the Company wishes to make a purchase of its shares it must do so in in accordance with the provisions for 'off-market' purchases of shares set out in the Act. Under sections 693 and 694 of the Act, the Company is not permitted to make off-market purchases of its shares unless it obtains advance Shareholder approval of the terms of the contract pursuant to which it is to purchase its own shares. Such contract may be (as is proposed here) a contingent purchase contract under which, subject to conditions, the Company may become entitled or obliged to purchase shares.

The Buyback Resolutions, which are proposed as special resolutions, therefore seek the approval of the terms of the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts to be entered into with Barclays, Goldman Sachs, HSBC and Merrill Lynch.

If the Company wishes to exercise its rights to purchase shares pursuant to any of the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts (a Share Purchase Transaction), the Company must give notice in writing (a Transaction Notice) to each of the Brokers, specifying the terms on which the Company is willing to purchase shares for that Share Purchase Transaction, including the minimum and maximum total cost of the shares to be purchased from the Broker by the Company, the earliest and latest dates on which the Broker can as principal purchase interests in the Company's shares (CIs) on the FSE and whether the price per share to be paid by the Company to the Broker will be either:

1.	equal to the average of the daily volume weighted average price paid for CIs on the FSE for each day during the agreed trading period (Average VWAP), less a percentage discount (the Percentage Discount); or
2.	equal to the Average VWAP less a percentage (the Profit Share Percentage) of the difference between (i) the price that will be paid by the Broker to acquire the CIs, and (ii) Average VWAP.

In the Transaction Notice, the specified maximum total cost of the shares to be purchased from the Broker by the Company in any one Share Purchase Transaction will be no more than EUR150 million.

Upon receipt of the Transaction Notice from the Company, each Broker will provide the Company with the following information in writing in relation to the price (the Price Notice):

*	in relation to 1 above, the Percentage Discount the Broker is willing to give; or
*	in relation to 2 above, the Profit Share Percentage the Broker is willing to give,

following which the Company will inform the Brokers which Broker has provided a Price Notice on the most favourable pricing terms to the Company (the Preferred Broker).

If two or more Brokers provide a Price Notice on the same terms (each a Tied Broker), such that there is no one Broker who has provided a Price Notice on the most favourable pricing terms to the Company, each Tied Broker will submit a revised Price Notice (each a Revised Price Notice) to the Company. The Tied Broker who submits a Revised Price Notice on the most favourable pricing terms to the Company shall be the Preferred Broker.

Interests in the Company's shares (CIs) (rather than shares) are traded and settled on the FSE. Although the CIs are generally referred to as shares, in this Explanatory Note the distinction is made between the shares in the capital of the Company and CIs where relevant.

In the event that two or more Tied Brokers provide a Revised Price Notice on the same terms, such that there is no one Tied Broker who has provided a Revised Price Notice on the most favourable pricing terms to the Company, the Tied Broker who is first in time to submit a Revised Price Notice shall be the Preferred Broker. The Company and the Preferred Broker will (subject to no termination event occurring under the terms of the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contract) then proceed with the relevant Share Purchase Transaction as set out below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Broker will not be obliged to provide a Price Notice (or a Revised Price Notice) if it would be unable to perform its obligations in respect of a Share Purchase Transaction without being in breach of applicable law, rule or regulation.

Following the purchase of the relevant number of CIs as principal by the Preferred Broker on the FSE and the transfer of the legal title to the corresponding number of shares to the Preferred Broker from Clearstream Banking AG (the operator of the electronic clearing and settlement system for securities on the FSE which holds legal title to the shares in the capital of the Company traded on the FSE to which holders of CI are beneficially entitled), the Preferred Broker will sell the shares to the Company for a price per share which is equal to or less than Average VWAP (as set out in more detail above) for the relevant trading period (and as part of such settlement process, the underlying CIs will be extinguished).

Each Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contract incorporates the provisions of a 2002 Master Agreement in the form published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc (as amended by the relevant Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contract and including certain termination events which may apply to a Share Purchase Transaction). In accordance with their terms, each of the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts shall expire on the day which is immediately prior to the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or on 30 June 2018 whichever is the earlier, but without affecting any Share Purchase Transaction which has only been partly completed on such date.

The Company will announce the details of each Share Purchase Transaction in accordance with its ongoing regulatory obligations.

The Company may either cancel any shares it purchases pursuant to the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts or may transfer them into treasury (and may subsequently sell them or transfer them out of treasury in order to satisfy the Company's share incentive schemes or cancel them).

Although the Company intends to enter into the Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts on or about the date of the AGM on 4 May 2017 (assuming the Buyback Resolutions are passed and the relevant Broker has received any outstanding internal approvals required), the authority granted by a Buyback Resolution to enter into a Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contract will expire on the day which is immediately prior to the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or on 30 June 2018 (whichever is the earlier). The Company will continue to be able to purchase shares under any Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contract entered into before the day which is immediately prior to the next Annual General Meeting and 30 June 2018 (whichever is the earlier) and under which a Share Purchase Transaction has only been partly completed on such date.

A copy of each of the proposed Contingent Forward Share Purchase Contracts will be available at the AGM on 4 May 2017. Copies will also be available for inspection at the Company's registered office at RPC, Tower Bridge House, St Katharine's Way, London E1W 1AA during usual business hours from no later than 19 April 2017 until the date of the AGM and at the AGM itself.

From the date of the 2016 Annual General Meeting of the Company to 27 March 2017 (being the last practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of AGM), the Company has, pursuant to the shareholder authority granted at the 2016 Annual General Meeting of the Company, purchased 2,783,206 of its ordinary shares, which are held in treasury.

Resolution 18 - Notice period for general meetings

The Articles allow the Directors to call general meetings other than Annual General Meetings on 14 clear days' notice. However, the Companies (Shareholders' Rights) Regulations 2009 (the Regulations) require that all general meetings be held on 21 days' notice, unless Shareholders agree to a shorter notice period, and the Company has met the requirements for electronic voting under the Regulations. Resolution 17 seeks to renew the authority granted by Shareholders at last year's Annual General Meeting which preserved the Company's ability to call general meetings, other than Annual General Meetings, on 14 clear days' notice, such authority to be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when a similar resolution will be proposed. The Directors confirm that the shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of course for such meeting, but only where flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and it is thought to be to the advantage of Shareholders as a whole. An electronic voting facility will be made available to all Shareholders for any meeting held on such notice.
