DTS to Buy SRS Labs
DTS and SRS Labs have entered into a definitive agreement under which DTS will acquire all outstanding shares of SRS Labs in a cash-and-stock transaction - a total of approximately $148 million in aggregate equity
value.
The transaction combines two product and technology
portfolios, bringing together DTS' suite of audio
solutions and SRS Labs' range of audio processing
technologies. Through the transaction, DTS will expand
its portfolio of audio-related intellectual property,

patents and trademarks. DTS strategy is to provide
integrated suite of audio solutions ranging from voice
processing through audio rendering, and from low bit

delivery. It will also help DTS expand in the rapidly
growing markets for mobile and other network-connected
devices.
