London - January 4, 2021. Dialog Semiconductor plc ((XETRA:DLG) 
("*Dialog*"), a leading provider of battery and power management, 
Configurable Mixed-Signal IC, AC/DC, backlighting and Bluetooth(R) low 
energy wireless technology, today announced that it has chosen the Federal 
Republic of Germany (Germany) as its new EU home member state following the 
end of transition period in relation to the United Kingdom withdrawal from 
the European Union. The decision was made on the basis of Dialog's shares 
being admitted to trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and that this is 
the only admission to trading of Dialog securities within the European 
Union. 
 
Following the end of the transition period, the United Kingdom will be 
treated as a third country within the meaning of the European legislation. 
Therefore, Dialog was required to choose a new home member state as laid 
down in Article 2(1)(i) of the EU-Transparency Directive. 
 
As a result of the change of home member state, from now on Dialog will be 
supervised by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority 
(_Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht,_"*BaFin*") and certain 
notifications by Dialog and its shareholders have to be made in accordance 
with the German Securities Trading Act (_Wertpapierhandelsgesetz_, 
"*WpHG*"). This includes notifications in relation to shareholdings in 
Dialog. 
 
In that respect, we advise our shareholders that according to the applicable 
German laws, shareholders need to notify BaFin and Dialog, if the voting 
rights from Dialog shares held reach, exceed or fall below the 3% threshold. 
Notifications have to be made by way of a so-called voting rights 
notification to BaFin via BaFin's notification platform at 
https://portal.mvp.bafin.de/MvpPortalWeb/app/login.html?locale=en_UK [1] 
with a copy (by e-mail) to Dialog ([e-mail]). 
 
In case of doubt, shareholder should consult with their regular legal 
advisors. Further information on applicable thresholds and voting rights 
notifications can be found:
