Cirrus Logic Reviews Historical Stock Option Grants

AUSTIN, Texas – Oct. 23, 2006 – Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS) today announced that it is voluntarily reviewing its historical stock option granting practices and related accounting matters. In September 2006, Cirrus Logic, at the direction of the Audit Committee of the company’s Board of Directors, performed an initial internal review of selected stock option grants. In the course of that review, the company discovered information that raises potential questions about the measurement dates used to account for certain stock option grants. At the recommendation of the Audit Committee, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors has been formed to conduct a more detailed review of past stock option grants, the timing of those grants and related accounting matters. The Special Committee has engaged independent outside counsel to conduct this review and hopes to complete the review as quickly as possible.

Cirrus Logic is not currently able to determine whether adjustments will be required to historical financial statements. Any such adjustments, if required, would likely consist of non-cash items. Cirrus Logic will provide a public statement regarding the conclusions reached in its voluntary review after the review is completed.

As previously announced, Cirrus Logic will hold its quarterly conference call to discuss the company’s results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 on Oct. 25, 2006, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. At that time, the company expects to be able to release only limited financial results. Those wishing to join should call (303) 262-2142 (passcode: Cirrus Logic) at approximately 4:50 p.m. EDT. A replay of the conference call will also be available beginning one hour after the completion of the call, until Nov. 1, 2006. To access the recording, call (303) 590-3000 (passcode: 11072869 #). A live and an archived webcast of the conference call will also be available via the company’s Web site at www.cirrus.com.
