</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;12, 2016, Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into a Separation Agreement
and Release (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) with Michael Bergeron, the Company&#146;s Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Field Operations. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron will cease to serve in that capacity effective
September&nbsp;30, 2016, but will provide transitional and advisory services to the Company until no later than June&nbsp;30, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under
the Agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron will continue to receive his current annual base salary of $425,000 through December&nbsp;31, 2016, and he will remain eligible for his annual bonus under the 2016 Dolby Executive Annual Incentive Plan for the
Company&#146;s 2016 fiscal year, contingent upon his continued employment through the date the bonus is paid. In addition, if he remains employed through December&nbsp;31, 2016, Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron will receive a lump-sum payment in the amount of
$425,000, which is equal to 12 months of his current annual base salary. Between January&nbsp;1 and June&nbsp;30, 2017, Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron will receive a salary of $5,000 per month. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the duration of his services to the Company, Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron will continue to receive standard Company-sponsored benefits and his
outstanding equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. Further, he will be eligible to receive up to $25,000 in outplacement services, beginning on October&nbsp;1, 2016. In addition, if Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron continues to provide
services through December&nbsp;31, 2016, he will receive taxable monthly payments in an amount equal to his monthly COBRA insurance premiums for a period of up to 18 months. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron voluntarily resigns from the Company prior to June&nbsp;30, 2017, then payments and benefits provided under the Agreement
that have not already been earned prior to the date of such resignation will cease. In addition, if Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron&#146;s employment is terminated for cause (as defined in the Company&#146;s 2005 Stock Plan), all payments and benefits provided
under the Agreement that have not already been earned will immediately cease and Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron will no longer be eligible for the consideration provided in the Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following Mr.&nbsp;Bergeron&#146;s separation date from the Company, and subject to his executing and not revoking a supplemental release of
claims in favor of the Company, he will receive a lump-sum payment in the amount of $186,250. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the Agreement will be filed when
required pursuant to Item&nbsp;601 of Regulation S-K, which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to the Company&#146;s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July&nbsp;1, 2016. </P>
