On March 25, 2009, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, with respect to the proposed stock-for-stock merger between SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. (“SiRF”) and CSR plc (“CSR”), expired.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the proposed merger transaction involving SiRF and CSR. In connection with the proposed merger, CSR intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form F-4 containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the stockholders of SiRF and each of SiRF and CSR plan to file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed merger transaction. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of SiRF. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, SiRF’s STOCKHOLDERS AND INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER. Investors and stockholders will be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other relevant documents containing important information about SiRF and CSR at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov) once such documents are filed with the SEC. SiRF’s stockholders will also be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents when they become available by directing a request by mail or telephone to SiRF, 217 Devcon Drive, San Jose, CA, 95112-4211, Attention: Investor Relations, +1 (408) 392-8480 or CSR, Unit 400, Cambridge Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4-0WH, United Kingdom, Attention: Investor Relations, +44 (0) 1223 692 000.

SiRF and its directors and executive officers, CSR and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from SiRF’s stockholders with respect to the proposed merger. Information about SiRF’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of SiRF’s common stock is set forth in SiRF’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009, and SiRF’s revised proxy statement for its 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on Schedule 14A on July 3, 2008.

Stockholders may obtain additional information regarding the interests of SiRF and its directors and executive officers and CSR and its directors and executive officers in the proposed merger, which may be different than those of SiRF’s stockholders generally, by reading the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents regarding the proposed merger, when filed with the SEC.
