Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 24, 2005, Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a definitive agreement to sell its digital video product line to Magnum Semiconductor Inc., a privately held company formed by an investment group led by Investcorp and August Capital. The transaction is structured as an asset sale and is currently expected to close in approximately 45 to 75 days. As consideration for the sale of these assets, the Company will receive a minority equity ownership position in Magnum Semiconductor and is anticipating it will account for its ownership position under the cost method of accounting. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company expects to record a one-time charge of approximately $7 million, which consists primarily of $5 million in anticipated costs associated with the company’s exit from excess leased facilities and an estimated $1.5 million in expected professional fees associated with the transaction. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including conditions requiring that certain approvals, consents and agreements be obtained.
