QUALCOMM GLOBAL TRADING PTE. LTD.

an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of

QUALCOMM INCORPORATED

to be effected by means of a Scheme of Arrangement

under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

Court confirms Reduction of Capital and Scheme becomes effective

Further to the announcement of 11 August 2015, CSR plc (“CSR”) is pleased to announce that the Court has confirmed the Reduction of Capital required to effect the recommended acquisition of CSR by Qualcomm Global Trading Pte. Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, by way of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”), which was itself sanctioned by the Court on 11 August 2015. Both Court Orders have now been delivered to, and in the case of the Reduction Court Order registered by, the Registrar of Companies and, accordingly, the Scheme has become effective.

Dealings in CSR Shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange were suspended at 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 12 August 2015. It is expected that CSR Shares will cease to be listed on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and that their admission to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange will be cancelled at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 August 2015.

Each Scheme Shareholder whose name appeared in the register of members of CSR at 6.00 p.m. (London time) on 12 August 2015 will be entitled to receive 900 pence in cash for each Scheme Share held. Settlement of the consideration to which any Scheme Shareholder is entitled under the Scheme is expected to take place on or prior to 27 August 2015.

CSR has also instructed JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depository for its American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) programme, to terminate the ADR Programme in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement.

As envisaged in the Scheme Document, the CSR Directors have resigned with effect from the Scheme becoming effective.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Scheme Document sent to CSR Shareholders dated 12 November 2014.

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is further authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and subject to limited regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority. Details about the extent of its authorisation and regulation by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available on request. Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is acting as financial adviser to Qualcomm and QGT and no one else in connection with the Acquisition or the contents of this announcement. Neither Deutsche Bank AG nor any other company in the Deutsche Bank Group will be responsible to any person other than Qualcomm and QGT for providing the protections to clients under the UK regulatory regime nor for providing advice in relation to the Acquisition or any matters referred to in this announcement. Neither Deutsche Bank nor any of its subsidiaries, branches or affiliates owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever (whether direct or indirect, whether in contract, in tort, under statute or otherwise) to any person who is not a client of Deutsche Bank in connection with this announcement, any statement contained herein or otherwise.

J.P. Morgan Limited, which conducts its UK investment banking businesses as J.P. Morgan Cazenove (“J.P. Morgan Cazenove”), is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority. J.P. Morgan Cazenove is acting as financial adviser exclusively for CSR and no one else in connection with the matters set out in this announcement and will not regard any other person as its client in relation to the matters in this announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than CSR for providing the protections afforded to clients of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, nor for providing advice in relation to any matter referred to herein.

Overseas Jurisdictions

CSR Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens of the UK may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Persons who are not resident in the UK should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions. Further details in relation to overseas shareholders are contained in the Scheme Document.

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

This announcement has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law, the Listing Rules, the rules of the London Stock Exchange and the Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise determined by Qualcomm or required by the Code and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made in or into and will not be capable of acceptance in or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any other overseas jurisdiction in respect of which such action would not be lawful. Accordingly, unless otherwise determined by Qualcomm or required by the Code and permitted by applicable law and regulation, copies of this announcement and formal documentation relating to the Acquisition will not be and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction.

Note to US Shareholders and CSR ADS Holders

US Shareholders (and CSR ADS Holders) should note that the Acquisition relates to the securities of a UK company, is subject to UK procedural and disclosure requirements (which are different from those of the US) and is proposed to be implemented under a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy rules under the US Exchange Act. The financial information with respect to CSR included in this announcement and the Scheme Document has been or will have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. If QGT exercises its right to implement the acquisition of the CSR Shares by way of a Takeover Offer in lieu of the Scheme, such offer will be made in compliance with applicable US tender offer regulations.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Scheme by US Shareholders (and CSR ADS Holders), as consideration for the cancellation of its CSR Shares pursuant to the Scheme, may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each CSR Shareholder (including US Shareholders) and CSR ADS Holder is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him.

CSR is currently subject to the informational requirements of the US Exchange Act and, in accordance therewith, files reports and other documents with the SEC. Reports and other information filed by CSR with the SEC may be obtained free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any state of the United States has approved the Acquisition, passed upon the fairness of the Acquisition or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this announcement and the Scheme documents. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, QGT or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, CSR Shares outside the US, other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition and/or Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock Exchange and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at http://www.londonstockexchange.com/prices-and-news/prices-news/home.htm.
