This presentation is not a prospectus.  It does not constitute or form part of an offer to sell or any invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation of an offer to purchase,
otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed merger announced by CSR plc
(“CSR”) on 21 February 2011 (the “Merger”)  or otherwise.  Any acceptance or response to the Merger should be made only on the basis of the information referred to, in respect of shareholders
of CSR, in the circular and the UK prospectus or, in respect of shareholders of Zoran Corporation (“Zoran”), the proxy statement and US prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) which
will form part of the registration statement to be filed in connection with the Merger in due course.
This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the proposed Merger involving CSR and Zoran. In connection with the proposed Merger, CSR intends to file with the US Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 containing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the stockholders of Zoran and each of CSR and Zoran plan to file other documents
with the SEC regarding the proposed merger. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Zoran.  Shareholders of CSR and Zoran are advised to read carefully the formal
documentation in relation to the Merger once it has been despatched.  The proposals for the Merger will, in respect of shareholders of CSR, be made solely through the circular and the UK prospectus, and, in
respect of shareholders of Zoran, be made solely through the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  Both the circular and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will contain the full terms and conditions of the way in which
the Merger will be implemented, including details of how to vote with respect to the implementation of the Merger.  Any acceptance or other response to the proposals should be made only on the basis of the
information in respect of shareholders of CSR, in the circular and the UK prospectus, or, in respect of shareholders of Zoran, in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT OR VOTING DECISION, WE URGE INVESTORS OF CSR AND ZORAN TO READ CAREFULLY THE CIRCULAR, UK PROSPECTUS, PROXY STATEMENT AND F-4
REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND US PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ANY SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT ZORAN OR CSR WILL FILE WITH THE UKLA
OR SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. 
Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains, or may contain, ‘forward-looking statements’ concerning CSR and Zoran (together such companies and their subsidiaries being the “Merged Company”) that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Generally, the words ‘will’, ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘continue’, ‘believes’, ‘targets’, ‘plans’, ‘expects’, ‘estimates’, ‘aims’, ‘intends’, ‘anticipates’ or similar expressions or negatives thereof identify forward-
looking statements.  Forward-looking statements include statements relating to the following: (i) the expected benefits of the Merger, the expected accretive effect of the Merger on the Merged Company’s
financial results, expected cost, revenue, technology and other synergies, the expected impact for customers and end-users,  future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic
performance, financial condition, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of CSR’s or Zoran’s operations and potential synergies resulting from the
Merger; (iii) the effects of government regulation on CSR’s, Zoran’s or the Merged Company’s business; and (iv) the proposed share buyback and (v) the anticipated timing of shareholder meetings and
completion. 
These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the management of CSR and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond CSR’s and Zoran’s ability to control or estimate precisely and include, without
limitation: the ability to obtain governmental approvals of the Merger or to satisfy other conditions to the Merger on the proposed terms and timeframe; the possibility that the Merger does not close when
expected or at all, or that the companies may be required to modify aspects of the Merger to achieve regulatory approval; the ability to realize the expected synergies from the Merger in the amounts or in the
timeframe anticipated; the potential harm to customer, supplier, employee and other relationships caused by the announcement or closing of the Merger; the ability to integrate Zoran's businesses into those of
CSR's in a timely and cost-efficient manner; the development of the markets for Zoran's and CSR's products; the Merged Company’s ability to develop and market products containing the respective
technologies of Zoran and CSR in a timely and cost-effective manner; economic conditions and the difficulty in predicting sales, even in the short-term; factors affecting the quarterly results of CSR, Zoran and
the Merged Company; sales cycles; price reductions; dependence on and qualification of foundries to manufacture the products of CSR, Zoran and the Merged Company; production capacity; the ability to
adequately forecast demand; customer relationships; the ability of CSR, Zoran and the Merged Company to compete successfully; product warranties; the impact of legal proceedings; the impact of intellectual
property indemnification practices; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in CSR’s and Zoran’s periodic reports (whether under the caption Risk Factors or Forward Looking
Statements or elsewhere). Neither CSR nor Zoran can give any assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct.  The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Neither CSR nor Zoran nor any other person undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking
statements set out herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. 
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of CSR, Zoran, or the Merged Company, following the implementation of the Merger or
otherwise.  No statement in this presentation should be interpreted to mean that the earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of CSR for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or
exceed the historical published figures.
Overseas jurisdictions
The release, publication or distribution of this presentation in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by the laws of those jurisdictions and therefore persons into whose possession this
presentation comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions.  Failure to comply with any such restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
