directors, certain members of Audience&#146;s senior management and funds associated with Tallwood Venture Capital, a venture capital firm affiliated with one of Audience&#146;s directors, have signed a Tender and Support Agreement, covering all of
the shares of Audience common stock beneficially owned by such persons, as well as any additional shares of which such persons may become the beneficial owner. These Tender and Support Agreements provide that the signatories thereof will tender
their Audience common stock in the offer and, if necessary, will vote any remaining shares that they own for the merger. In addition, under the terms of the Tender and Support Agreements, each such person has also agreed to certain restrictions on
the transferability of its shares and the transferability of certain voting rights. As of May&nbsp;15, 2015, the persons who executed the Tender and Support Agreements beneficially owned in the aggregate 7,318,614 shares of Audience common stock
(including shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units beneficially owned by such persons). Of such shares, an aggregate of 4,991,854 shares are currently outstanding and therefore subject to the Tender and Support
Agreements. The shares subject to the Tender and Support Agreements represent approximately 21.1% of the shares of Audience common stock outstanding as of May&nbsp;15, 2015. See &#147;Other Agreements Related to the Transaction.&#148; </P>

the merger that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as an Audience stockholder. These interests may be deemed to exist because of agreements that the officers have previously entered into with Audience that provide for severance
payments and the acceleration of stock options and restricted stock units in the event of a change in control, which would be triggered by the offer as well as the merger. In addition, certain of Audience&#146;s officers will be employed by Knowles
following the merger. See also Item&nbsp;3&#151;Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements in Audience&#146;s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule&nbsp;14D-9, which has been filed with the SEC and is being mailed to you

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The &#147;fair value&#148; of any Audience shares could be based upon considerations other than, or in addition to, the price paid in the
offer and the market value of such shares. You should recognize that the value so determined could be higher or lower than, or the same as, the consideration payable in the offer and the merger. You should also be aware that the opinion of an
investment banking firm as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration payable in a sale transaction, such as the offer and the merger, are not opinions as to fair value under applicable Delaware law. </P>

which would be subject to review and comment by the SEC, and Audience would then be required to call a special meeting of its stockholders to approve the merger, all of which we believe would result in additional time and expense. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that speed of completion of the acquisition will result in several benefits. First, we can deliver consideration to Audience&#146;s
stockholders faster than we would be able to do in a traditional merger structure. Second, we believe that an accelerated acquisition process will reduce the effects of disruption in the businesses of Knowles and Audience from the offer and the
merger, including disruption in relationships with business partners and employees, which may reduce the likelihood of loss of revenue and employee attrition. In addition, Knowles can begin to capture expected synergies from the acquisition more
quickly than it would otherwise be able to do in an extended acquisition process. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>What is the market value of my shares of Audience common stock?
(Page 107) </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;29, 2015, the last trading day before Knowles and Audience announced that they had entered into the merger
agreement, the last sales price of Audience common stock reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market was $5.49 per share; therefore, the offer consideration valued at $5.00 per share represents a discount of approximately 9% on the last closing
price of shares of Audience common stock prior to announcement of the merger agreement. On May&nbsp;15, 2015, the last practicable day prior to the commencement of the offer, the last sales price of Audience common stock reported on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market was $4.80 per share. We advise you to obtain recent quotations for shares of Audience common stock and shares of Knowles common stock when deciding whether to tender your shares in the offer. In addition, you should also
consider Knowles&#146; financial condition by reviewing the sections of this prospectus/offer to exchange entitled &#147;Summary Selected Consolidated Historical Financial Data of Knowles&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and the documents
incorporated by reference into this prospectus/offer to exchange because they contain detailed business, financial and other information about Knowles. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Are there any regulatory clearances or approvals required to complete the offer? (Page 64) </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Yes. Our acceptance of the tendered shares of Audience common stock in the offer and consummation of the offer and the merger is subject to
approval under the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act as enforced by the Korea Fair Trade Commission. On June 10, 2015, Knowles received notification from the Korea Fair Trade Commission concluding that the offer and the merger do not violate
the Korean Antitrust Laws. In addition, the SEC must declare the registration statement, of which this prospectus/offer to exchange is a part, effective. </P>

summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to Audience stockholders. Audience stockholders are urged to read carefully the entire prospectus/offer to exchange and the other documents referred to and incorporated by
reference in this prospectus/offer to exchange to fully understand the offer and the merger. In particular, Audience stockholders should read the merger agreement, which is attached as Annex A. You may obtain the information incorporated by

and Audience entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on April&nbsp;29, 2015 (the &#147;merger agreement&#148;), pursuant to which Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of Knowles, is offering to exchange cash and shares of Knowles common stock
for all of the outstanding shares of Audience common stock. Each share of Audience common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the offer will be exchanged for consideration (the &#147;offer consideration&#148;) in the form of
(i)&nbsp;$2.50 in cash, without interest, and (ii)&nbsp;a number of shares of Knowles common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to the amount obtained by dividing $2.50 by the volume weighted average of the sale prices for Knowles common stock
as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day prior to the final expiration date of the offer (the &#147;closing date average price&#148;), in each case, subject
to adjustment as described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related letter of transmittal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the closing date average price shall be no greater than $23.35 and no less than $18.16. Please see &#147;The
Offer&#151;Sample Calculations of the Offer Consideration&#148; on page 53 for illustrative calculations of the offer consideration. The effects of the merger on options to acquire Audience common stock and Audience restricted stock units are
discussed elsewhere in this prospectus/offer to exchange (see &#147;The Merger Agreement&#151;Treatment of Audience Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;76). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Audience has informed Knowles and Purchaser that, as of May&nbsp;15, 2015, there were issued and outstanding 23,603,003 shares of Audience
common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Based on this number and assuming for illustration that no additional shares of Audience common stock are issued and no Audience stock options, no Audience restricted stock units and no other rights to
acquire Audience common stock vest after May&nbsp;15, 2015, then as of May&nbsp;15, 2015, the minimum condition would be satisfied if at least 11,801,502 shares of Audience common stock are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the
expiration time of the offer. This figure includes the shares of Audience common stock held by the persons who agreed to tender their shares pursuant to the Tender and Support Agreements, as more fully described below (see &#147;Other Agreements
Related to the Transaction&#148; on page 91). </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The initial expiration date for the offer is June&nbsp;17, 2015. In certain

</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The merger agreement provides that, upon consummation of the merger, each then-outstanding share of Audience common stock held by persons
other than Knowles or Purchaser and their subsidiaries, and stockholders of Audience who have properly preserved their appraisal rights, if any, under applicable law, will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration described
under &#147;The Merger Agreement&#151;What Audience Stockholders will Receive in the Merger,&#148; which will be equivalent to the consideration provided to those Audience stockholders who participate in the offer. The effects of the merger on
outstanding Audience stock options and restricted stock units are described under &#147;The Merger Agreement&#151;Treatment of Audience Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units.&#148; Such merger will not require a vote or any further action by the
holders of shares of Audience common stock. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Tender and Support Agreements (Page </B><B>91</B><B>) </B> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As inducement to Knowles to enter into the merger agreement, each member of the Audience board of directors, certain members of Audience&#146;s
senior management and funds associated with Tallwood Venture Capital, a venture capital firm affiliated with one of Audience&#146;s directors, have signed a Tender and Support Agreement, covering all of the shares of Audience common stock
beneficially owned by such persons, as well as any additional shares of which such persons may become the beneficial owner. These Tender and Support Agreements provide that the signatories thereof will tender their Audience common stock in the offer
and, if necessary, will vote any remaining shares that they own for the merger. In addition, under the terms of the Tender and Support Agreements, each such person has also agreed to certain restrictions on the transferability of its shares and the
transferability of certain voting rights. As of May&nbsp;15, 2015, the persons who executed the Tender and Support Agreements beneficially owned in the aggregate 7,318,614 shares of Audience common stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise
of stock options and restricted stock units beneficially owned by such persons). Of such shares, an aggregate of 4,991,854 shares are currently outstanding and therefore subject to the Tender and Support Agreements. The shares subject to the Tender
and Support Agreements represent approximately 21.1% of the shares of Audience common stock outstanding as of May&nbsp;15, 2015. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Information

executive management team focus on EBIT as a key measure of performance for business planning purposes. This measure assists Knowles in comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as this measure removes from
operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles&#146; opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance. Knowles believe that its presentation of EBIT is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same
information that Knowles uses internally for purposes of assessing core operating performance. </TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top">On July&nbsp;11, 2014, Audience acquired Sensor Platforms for approximately $41 million. As part of the purchasing accounting, $20.7 million was allocated to goodwill and $19.0 million was allocated to intangible
assets, of which $18.0 million related to developed technology and $1.0 million related to customer relationships. As a result of a significant drop in the trading prices of Audience common stock in the public stock market during the three months
ended December&nbsp;31, 2014, Audience performed impairment analyses on both its goodwill and long-lived assets as of November&nbsp;1, 2014. Based on the results of the impairment analyses, Audience recorded impairment charges of $20.7 million for
goodwill, $10.5 million for the developed technology intangible asset and $0.1 million for the customer relationships intangible asset. The total impairment charge of $31.3 million is shown as a separate line item in operating expenses.

to the merger as if it had occurred on March&nbsp;31, 2015. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the acquisition and, with respect to the

agreement. However, Knowles may be unable to replace a terminated agreement on comparable terms or at all. Depending on the importance of such agreement to Audience&#146;s business, the failure to replace a terminated agreement on similar terms or

Knowles estimates that it will incur direct transaction costs of approximately $4.7 million in connection with the offer and the merger, $2.3 million of which is contingent on the consummation of the offer or the merger. Audience has advised Knowles
that it estimates that it will incur direct transaction costs of approximately $4.0 million in connection with the offer and the merger, $1.8 million of which is contingent on the consummation of the offer or the merger. Moreover, in the event that
the merger agreement is terminated, Audience may, under some circumstances, be required to pay Knowles a termination fee of up to $5.0 million. See &#147;The Merger Agreement&#151;Termination Fees&#148; beginning on page 89. </P>

savings that Knowles expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses, the realization of economies of scale, and cost savings and revenue synergies related to the integration of
the two companies following the consummation of the offer and the merger. The amount and timing of any these charges are uncertain at the present time. In addition, Knowles may incur additional material charges in subsequent fiscal quarters
following the merger to reflect additional currently unknown costs in connection with the offer and the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The price of Knowles
common stock could decline to the extent Knowles&#146; financial results are materially affected by the foregoing charges and costs, or if the foregoing charges and costs are larger than anticipated. The consummation of the offer and the merger may
result in dilution of future earnings per share to Knowles&#146; stockholders. It may also result in lower net profits or a weaker financial condition compared to that which would have been achieved by Knowles on a stand-alone basis. Additionally,
the effect of Knowles acquisition of Audience may not meet the expectations of Knowles, financial analysts or investors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Integrating Knowles and

Knowles&#146; and Audience&#146;s operations, products and personnel may place a significant burden on the combined company&#146;s management and internal resources. Knowles may also experience difficulty in effectively integrating the different
cultures and practices of the two companies. Further, the difficulties of integrating the two companies could disrupt the combined company&#146;s ongoing business, distract its management&#146;s focus from other opportunities and challenges, and
increase the combined company&#146;s expenses and working capital requirements. The diversion of management&#146;s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could harm the combined company&#146;s business,

control of Knowles and Audience and that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially and adversely affect consummation of the merger. See &#147;The Offer&#151;Regulatory Matters&#148; beginning on page 64 and &#147;The Offer&#151;Conditions to the
Offer&#148; beginning on page 62. Knowles cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. It cannot be assured that the conditions to the offer or the merger will be met or waived, that the necessary approvals will be
obtained, or that Knowles will be able to successfully consummate the offer and the merger as currently contemplated under the merger agreement or at all. In addition, the merger agreement places a variety of restrictions and constraints on the
conduct of Audience&#146;s business prior to the completion of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Failure to

the number of outstanding shares of Audience common stock and Knowles common stock on May&nbsp;15, 2015, disregarding stock options, restricted stock units and other rights to acquire shares that may be issued by Knowles or Audience pursuant to any

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The stock portion of the consideration issuable in the offer and the merger is calculated by reference to the volume weighted average of the
sale prices for Knowles common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day prior to the final expiration date of the offer (the &#147;closing date
average price&#148;). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the closing date average price shall be no greater than $23.35 and no less than $18.16. As a result of such collar, the number of shares of Knowles common stock received in the offer and the
merger may not fully reflect the value of Knowles common stock. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Changes in stock price may result from a variety of factors,
including, among others, general market and economic conditions, changes in Knowles&#146; business, operations and prospects, market assessment of the likelihood that the offer and the merger will be completed as anticipated or at all and regulatory
considerations. Many of these factors are beyond Knowles&#146; control. As a result of any such changes in stock price, the market value of the shares of Knowles common stock that the Audience stockholders will receive at the time that the offer or
the merger is completed could vary significantly from the value of such shares immediately prior to the public announcement of the offer and the merger, on the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange or on the date on which Audience stockholders
actually receive shares of Knowles common stock. For example, based on the volume weighted average sale prices for Knowles common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including
April&nbsp;29, 2015 (the last trading day before the public announcement of the offer and the merger) through May&nbsp;15, 2015 (the latest practicable date before the commencement of the offer), the stock portion of the consideration represented a
market value ranging from a low of $2.55 to a high of $2.68. Accordingly, as of the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, Audience stockholders will not know, or be able to calculate, the exact market value of the consideration that the

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consummation of the offer and the merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of certain regulatory and antitrust approvals or
expiration or termination of waiting periods applicable to the transaction. In deciding whether to grant regulatory or antitrust approvals or to terminate or allow waiting periods to expire, the relevant governmental entities will consider the
effect of the offer and the merger on competition within their relevant jurisdictions. The relevant governmental entities may condition their approval of the offer and the merger on Knowles&#146; or Audience&#146;s agreement to various requirements,
limitations or costs, or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of Knowles&#146; business following the offer or the merger. If Knowles and Audience agree to these requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions,
the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may be impaired. Neither Knowles nor Audience can provide any assurance that either company will obtain the necessary approvals or that any of the requirements, limitations, costs,
divestitures or restrictions to which they agree will not have a material adverse effect on Knowles following the offer and the merger. In addition, these requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions may result in the delay or

currently expects certain synergies to be realized resulting in accretion to the combined company&#146;s results by the fourth quarter of 2016, this expectation is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions and could materially change due to
additional transaction-related costs, the failure to realize any or all of the benefits expected in the transaction or other factors beyond the control of Knowles and Audience. All of these factors could delay, decrease or eliminate the expected
accretive effect of the offer and the merger. Prolonged dilution to the combined company&#146;s earnings per share could materially negatively affect the price of the Knowles common stock. </P>

of both companies. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty or difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with Knowles. Accordingly, Knowles may
not be able to retain key employees following the offer and the merger. Loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of Knowles after the consummation of the offer and the merger. </P>

been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the unaudited pro forma financial statements do not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred or savings to be
achieved by Knowles and Audience in connection with the offer and the merger. For example, neither the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating the two companies, nor any potential cost savings is reflected in the unaudited pro forma
financial statements. As a result, the actual financial condition and results of operations of Knowles following the offer and the merger will likely not be consistent with, or evident from, these unaudited pro forma financial statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors

that Audience&#146;s directors allegedly breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in an allegedly unfair negotiation process and agreeing to an allegedly unfair acquisition price. One of the conditions to the consummation of the offer is that no
court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued any temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order that prevents the consummation of the offer. Consequently, if any of the plaintiffs is successful in obtaining an injunction
prohibiting the parties from consummating the offer on the agreed-upon terms, the injunction may prevent consummation of the offer and the merger in the expected timeframe, or at all. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Audience has obligations under certain circumstances to hold harmless and indemnify each of the defendant directors against judgments, fines,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Audience board of directors, with input from senior management, regularly reviews and evaluates Audience&#146;s business, strategic plans,
performance and prospects with the goal of maximizing stockholder value. As part of this evaluation, the Audience board of directors and certain members of senior management also evaluate various potential strategic alternatives involving possible
acquisitions or business combinations that could complement and enhance Audience&#146;s competitive strengths and strategic positions, as well as regularly consider Audience&#146;s prospects as an independent company. This ongoing strategic
assessment led to Audience&#146;s acquisition of Sensor Platforms, Inc. on July 11, 2014, enabling Audience to add motion sensing technology to its voice and audio product solutions. In addition, Knowles continually evaluates strategic alternatives
in connection with its review of strategy and growth initiatives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the spring of 2014, another company in the semiconductor industry
(which Audience refers to as Company A) approached Audience in connection with a possible business combination, and Audience and Company A engaged in preliminary discussions. No proposal was ultimately submitted by Company A during the spring of
2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In July 2014, Audience&#146;s largest customer, representing approximately 73% of sales for the first half of 2014, preannounced
negative financial results for the second quarter of 2014 and its business outlook for the third quarter of 2014. As a result, on July 31, 2014, during Audience&#146;s earnings call for the second quarter of 2014, the business outlook Audience
provided for the third quarter of 2014 was materially lower than street estimates/consensus. Audience&#146;s stock price declined approximately 16% to $8.05 at the end of the following trading day. </P>

Audience&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Santos, reviewed and discussed market activity, management&#146;s revenue projections and expense reductions following an abrupt reduction in forecasted purchases by Audience&#146;s
largest customer. In addition, the board of directors reviewed strategic alternatives and market opportunities. After further discussion, the board of directors recommended that Audience focus on executing management&#146;s standalone business plan,

input from management, the earnings forecast for the third quarter of 2014, the outlook for the fourth quarter of 2014, and the impact of continued reductions in orders placed by Audience&#146;s largest customer. In addition, the board of directors
discussed Mr. Santos&#146; meeting with Company A&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and Audience&#146;s strategic outlook, including, among other things, market conditions, opportunities and risks for Audience. </P>

the first three quarters of 2014, preannounced negative financial results for the third quarter of 2014 and an uncertain business outlook for the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result, on October 30, 2014, during Audience&#146;s earnings call for the
third quarter of 2014, the business outlook Audience provided for the fourth quarter of 2014 was again materially lower than street estimates/consensus. Audience&#146;s stock price declined approximately 37% to $3.73 at the end of the following

senior management team. Management provided an analysis of Audience&#146;s strengths and opportunities as well as challenges facing the company and the current competitive landscape. Among other things, the Technology Committee discussed
Audience&#146;s recent revenue decline and current efforts and future plans to address its causes. In addition, the Technology Committee recommended to the Audience board of directors that representatives of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
(&#147;Deutsche Bank&#148;), which was familiar with Audience from having had acted as joint bookrunner in connection with Audience&#146;s initial public offering, discuss Audience&#146;s strategic options at the next meeting of the board of

the parties&#146; prior meeting. Company A&#146;s Chief Executive Officer informed Mr. Santos that, while Company A remained interested in Audience, it was not in a position to proceed with a potential transaction due to Company A&#146;s concerns
about its ability to absorb costs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November 13, 2014, the Audience board of directors held a regularly scheduled meeting. Also in
attendance were members of Audience&#146;s senior management team and representatives of Deutsche Bank and WSGR. Senior management and the Compensation Committee of the Audience board of directors reported on increased attrition among key technical
talent and the retention programs that had been put in place to address the attrition. As recommended by the Technology Committee and in light of the continued oversight by the board of directors of Audience&#146;s long-term strategic plans, the
board of directors invited representatives of Deutsche Bank to discuss proposed strategic plans and alternatives for Audience with the members of the board of directors. Among other things, representatives of Deutsche Bank reviewed with the board of
directors various potential strategic alternatives which might be available to Audience, including remaining independent, acquiring other businesses, entering into strategic partnerships, and selling the company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December 2, 2014, the trading price of Audience&#146;s stock declined to a closing price of $3.32 per share, the lowest closing price since

combination. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December 16, 2014, at the invitation of Jeff Niew, Knowles&#146; President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Santos
met with Mr. Niew in East Palo Alto, California during which Mr. Niew suggested the possibility of a potential business combination. This was the first discussion between the parties on this topic and no price or deal terms were discussed. </P>

investment bank to help advise the board of directors and senior management on a potential strategic alternative process. With input from management, the Technology Committee reviewed those investment banks with whom Audience had preexisting
relationships (including Deutsche Bank) along with other potential candidates. The Technology Committee also discussed various relationships that each of the investment banking firms had which might create potential conflicts of interest. After
discussion, the Technology Committee recommended that the board of directors retain Deutsche Bank as its financial advisor in light of Deutsche Bank&#146;s in-depth understanding of Audience, subject to the board&#146;s evaluation of any conflicts
Deutsche Bank may have. </P>

members of Audience&#146;s senior management presented management&#146;s 2015 annual operating plan, which included management&#146;s projected revenue of $130 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Active employee attrition was identified by
senior management as one of the top risks to achievement of the 2015 plan. After discussion, the board of directors approved the annual operating plan. In addition, the board of directors discussed the proposed formal retention of Deutsche Bank to
serve as Audience&#146;s financial advisor in connection with the ongoing consideration by the board of directors of possible strategic alternatives. The recommendation of the Technology Committee was noted, and the board of directors discussed
potential conflicts of Deutsche Bank and other potential advisors, including recent past work done for potential strategic partners. Following such discussion, the board of directors determined that Deutsche Bank did not have potential conflicts
that would prevent it from effectively advising Audience. Accordingly, the board of directors resolved to formally engage Deutsche Bank to serve as Audience&#146;s financial advisor in connection with the ongoing consideration by the board of
directors of possible strategic alternatives due to Deutsche Bank&#146;s knowledge of Audience and industry, its qualifications, and balancing the risk of potential leaks involved in interviewing other advisors. Furthermore, after discussion of the
various alternative approaches to managing a strategic process, the board of directors authorized the Technology Committee to supervise the investigation of strategic alternatives. In addition, the board of directors expanded the Technology
Committee to include Rich Geruson in addition to Messrs. Pavlov and Scaglia. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December 18, 2014, the Technology Committee met with

evaluation of Audience. During the meeting, the Knowles board of directors formally resolved to retain JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (&#147;JPMorgan&#148;) as financial advisor in connection with such evaluation, and authorized management to engage
additional advisors in connection with its evaluation of Audience. The board of directors also authorized management to engage in preliminary due diligence of Audience and negotiate with Audience regarding a potential acquisition transaction. </P>

Deutsche Bank reviewed the terms of the nonbinding indication of interest Audience had received from Knowles and discussed related financial information relating to the proposal with the Technology Committee. Following discussion with
representatives of Deutsche Bank, the Technology Committee recommended that Audience should reject Knowles&#146; initial proposal but communicate Audience&#146;s desire to engage with Knowles and offer to provide additional information in order to
encourage Knowles to increase its offer price. The Technology Committee and the other members of the board of directors present at the meeting then discussed the list of other potential bidders. After discussion, the members of the Technology

Committee (including Company A and Company C) to inquire about their interest in a potential acquisition of, or strategic combination with, Audience. Of the companies contacted, 17 indicated they had no interest in pursuing discussions of a
potential acquisition of, or other business combination with, Audience. Knowles and the remaining five companies, including Company A, Company C and three others (which Audience refers to as Companies D, E and F), expressed general interest in
Audience. Of those six companies, two companies, in addition to Company A and Knowles, executed confidentiality and standstill agreements with Audience: Company D on February 2, 2015 and Company E on February 9, 2015. In addition, on February 17,
2015, Audience entered into a confidentiality agreement with Company C that did not contain standstill provisions. Because Company C objected to the inclusion of such provisions, Audience agreed to the confidentiality agreement without standstill
provisions in order to facilitate preliminary discussions with Company C. Although Audience and Company C did not enter into any subsequent confidentiality agreement, Audience intended to renegotiate the confidentiality agreement to include
standstill provisions if discussions progressed between the companies. </P>

management as one of the top risks to achievement of Audience&#146;s 2015 annual operating plan). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April 16, 2015, Mr. Niew contacted
Mr. Santos via telephone to describe a letter that Mr. Niew would soon send. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Niew sent a letter to Mr. Santos indicating that Knowles was no longer willing to proceed at a purchase price of $7.00 per share. Knowles indicated
that its due diligence revealed that the valuation underlying its proposed purchase price could no longer be supported based primarily on (i) management&#146;s lowered 2015 revenue forecast (representing nearly a 20% decrease from $130 million down
to $105 million), (ii) Knowles&#146; belief, based on information available to it at that time, that 2015 revenue would more likely be $70 to $75 million (representing an overall reduction of approximately 45% from the management projections
initially provided to Knowles), (iii) the resulting higher cash burn and lower cash balance, resulting in an expected shortfall to the free cash flow forecast initially provided to Knowles, and (iv) higher than expected costs of retaining key
talent. As a result, Knowles proposed resuming discussions with Audience in May 2015 following the parties&#146; quarterly earnings releases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Later on April 16, 2015, representatives of Audience&#146;s senior management and Deutsche Bank held conference calls with representatives of
Knowles&#146; senior management to discuss Knowles&#146; letter. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April 17, 2015, the Audience board of directors held a telephonic
meeting. In attendance were members of Audience&#146;s senior management and representatives of Deutsche Bank and WSGR. Among other things, the board of directors discussed the recent developments with Knowles. In addition, the Deutsche Bank
representatives reviewed the history and status of discussions with other potential interested parties. The Audience board of directors also discussed the recent increase in the market price of Audience common stock. During the two weeks beginning
March 30, 2015, the closing price averaged $4.64 per share. From April 14, 2015 through April 16, 2015, the closing price increased from $4.96 to $6.19 per share. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The board of directors concluded that the sudden price increase did not reflect Audience&#146;s business and financial condition and/or
Audience&#146;s value. The board of directors was aware of press reports on April 15, 2015 that demand for the new flagship smartphone sold by Audience&#146;s largest customer was projected to be higher than expected, which may have been a factor in
the stock price increase. However, management and the board of directors did not believe Audience would be the beneficiary of such increased demand. On the contrary, that customer&#146;s orders and order forecasts for Audience products had declined
significantly. The board of directors also noted that Audience had not yet reported its earnings for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2015 and its outlook for the following three months. The business outlook had worsened substantially since the
prior quarter&#146;s earnings release, in large part due to the reduced demand from Audience&#146;s largest customer. The board of directors concluded that the earnings release for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2015, with the reduced outlook
for the three months ending June 30, 2015, would be likely to significantly depress Audience&#146;s stock price. Furthermore, the board of directors concluded that the significant reductions in Audience&#146;s forecasted revenues made it unlikely
that another acquirer would offer a higher price than the offer received from Knowles. In addition, the board of directors determined that there was a significant risk that delays in negotiating a transaction could lead to substantial additional
employee attrition, which would create additional difficulty in negotiating a transaction. As a result, the board of directors discussed potential alternative structures that could be proposed to Knowles, including a contingent value right structure
in which a portion of the cash purchase price would be tied to future revenue milestones, with the aim of promptly concluding a deal with Knowles on the best possible terms. </P>

2015. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April 20, 2015, Messrs. Santos and Palatnik held a conference call with representatives of Company B&#146;s management in
order to discuss Company B&#146;s proposal of $6.50 to $7.50 per share, with a representative of Deutsche Bank in attendance. Although Company B had not yet received management&#146;s latest downwardly revised forecasts for the second quarter of
2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, Audience&#146;s management believed the discussion with Company B would permit Audience and its financial advisor to further understand the financing terms of Company B&#146;s proposal. Accordingly, the
parties discussed Company B&#146;s proposal to use a PIPE financing to fund an acquisition, with fundraising conducted under a nondisclosure agreement and the financing being secured at closing. The Deutsche Bank representative discussed the risks
of such an approach. Company B indicated that it would also consider a transaction with 30% to 35% of the price to be paid in stock and any needed funds raised through a PIPE financing and/or the issuance of debt. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Also on April 20, 2015, the Technology Committee held a telephonic meeting, in which Messrs. Gyani, Santos, Palatnik and Factor and
representatives of Deutsche Bank and WSGR attended. At the meeting, Mr. Santos reported on developments regarding a potential transaction with Knowles, including the proposal that the deal consideration include a contingent value rights component.
In addition, a representative of Deutsche Bank reported on discussions with Company B. The Deutsche Bank representative discussed with the directors a number of risks to a transaction with Company B, including that Company B would have to persuade
potential investors to invest in a highly-dilutive transaction, that such investors would likely require a substantial discount to Company B&#146;s market price, that depending on price, Company B might be required to obtain stockholder approval for
the financing, that the financing may not be successful, and that if efforts to find investors were unsuccessful, Audience would be forced to announce that an acquisition agreement had been negotiated and then withdrawn. In addition, the relative
illiquidity of Company B&#146;s stock as a result of Company B&#146;s comparatively small capitalization rendered any transaction involving stock unfavorable to Audience&#146;s stockholders. Following discussion, the Technology Committee directed
management to communicate to Knowles the need for a revised bid and directed management and Deutsche Bank to pursue further discussions with other parties. </P>

representatives of Audience a revised proposal of $2.25 in cash and $2.25 in Knowles common stock with increased contingent value rights of $0.50 to $2.50 per share. During this timeframe,
representatives of Audience and Knowles also discussed the possibility of a proposal that did not include contingent value rights. The Knowles representatives emphasized their concerns that Audience&#146;s revenue projection for the second quarter
of 2015 would be decreased. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Also on April 22, 2015, the Technology Committee held a telephonic meeting, in which Messrs. Santos and
Palatnik and representatives of Deutsche Bank and WSGR attended. The Technology Committee directed members of management to continue negotiations with Knowles based on the most current revenue projection for the second quarter of 2014 and identified
specific background information needed for the Audience board of directors to make a final determination with regard to price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April
23, 2015, based on the instructions previously received on April 20, 2015, a representative of Deutsche Bank contacted representatives of Company A and Company E and provided each with an overview of Audience&#146;s revised 2015 management forecast.
Both Company A and Company E responded that they would take such information under advisement but that they were not prepared to make any proposal to acquire Audience until after Audience&#146;s earnings release for the first quarter of 2015
scheduled to occur at the end of the month. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April 24, 2015, representatives of Knowles delivered to representatives of Audience a

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Also on April 24, 2015, the Audience board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Also in attendance were Messrs. Palatnik and Factor and
representatives of Deutsche Bank and WSGR. During the meeting, the board of directors reviewed Audience&#146;s current financial and business position, including current and forecasted customer orders from its largest customer that had significantly
decreased during the last several weeks, negatively impacting projections for the second quarter of 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2015. The result was a business outlook for the second quarter of 2015 that was materially lower than market
analyst consensus estimates and a reduction in 2015 sales projections from $105 million to $90 million. The impact of this forecast change was an erosion of projected operating results for the year ended December 31, 2015 as well as to projected
cash balances for the year ended December 31, 2015. The board of directors also discussed the market price of Audience stock and the likely market response to management&#146;s revised financial projections and that the market price would likely
decline significantly once the new revenue outlook was communicated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Audience board of directors discussed the
significant risks of remaining independent. The board of directors reviewed potential plans and risks related to a potential restructuring of Audience&#146;s business. The Deutsche Bank representative discussed that management&#146;s plan required
raising additional financing if Audience remained independent and advised the board of directors that such financing, if available, would likely be on unfavorable terms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the April 24, 2015 meeting, the Audience board of directors further discussed the revised offer received from Knowles and the risks of
waiting to sign a transaction until after Audience&#146;s earnings release scheduled for April 30, 2015. It was noted that the absence of a transaction announcement at Audience&#146;s earnings release and the restarting of a bidding process would
increase the risk of employee attrition. The Deutsche Bank representative also updated the board of directors that Company A indicated it believed Audience&#146;s 2015 revenue would be lower than estimated and that it had concerns with
Audience&#146;s high operating losses and Company A&#146;s ability to absorb such losses. The representative of WSGR discussed with the board of directors its fiduciary duties under applicable law. After discussion, the board of directors concluded
that completing a transaction with Knowles would better serve the interests of Audience&#146;s stockholders than prolonging the effort to secure other bids, which may or may not have materialized, in particular on comparable terms. </P>

October 2014 to take into account, among other things, management&#146;s reduced expectations with respect to timing and volume of customer orders. At Audience&#146;s direction, Deutsche Bank relied only upon the most recent financial forecasts
provided by management of Audience for purposes of rendering the opinion. In addition, Deutsche Bank noted that the management of Audience had advised Deutsche Bank, and Deutsche Bank assumed with the knowledge and permission of the Audience board
of directors, that, if the offer and the merger were not consummated, Audience would need to raise additional equity capital in a manner which would, if available, be substantially dilutive to the current holders of Audience common stock in order to
implement its standalone plan and, if the offer and the merger were not consummated, Audience would need to engage in significant cost-cutting measures which would adversely impact Audience&#146;s ability to achieve forecasted results. Deutsche Bank

forecasts had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Audience and Knowles, respectively, as to the matters covered thereby. In rendering its opinion, Deutsche Bank
expressed no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts and projections, or the assumptions on which they are based. Deutsche Bank&#146;s opinion was necessarily based upon economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the

that would be material to its analysis. Deutsche Bank also assumed, with the knowledge and permission of the Audience board of directors, that all material governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required in connection with the
consummation of the offer and the merger would be obtained and that in connection with obtaining any necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents, no restrictions, terms or conditions would be imposed that would be material to

qualifications, expertise, reputation and experience in mergers and acquisitions as well as its familiarity with Audience from having acted as joint bookrunner in connection with its initial public offering. Pursuant to an engagement letter between
Audience and Deutsche Bank, dated January&nbsp;6, 2015, Audience has agreed to pay Deutsche Bank a transaction fee estimated to be approximately $2.3 million (based upon consideration of $5.00 per share) for its services as financial advisor to
Audience in connection with the offer and the merger, of which $500,000 became payable upon delivery of its opinion (or would have become payable if Deutsche Bank had advised the Audience board of directors that it was unable to render its opinion)
and the remainder of which is contingent upon consummation of the offer. Audience also agreed to reimburse Deutsche Bank for all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and all of Deutsche Bank&#146;s reasonable travel and other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the offer and the merger or otherwise arising out of its engagement, in each case on the terms set forth in its engagement letter. Audience has also agreed to indemnify Deutsche Bank and its
affiliates to the full extent lawful against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising out of its engagement, the offer and the merger. Deutsche Bank is an internationally recognized investment banking firm experienced in providing
advice in connection with mergers and acquisitions and related transactions. Deutsche Bank is an affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG (together with its affiliates, the &#147;DB Group&#148;). One or more members of the DB&nbsp;Group have, from time to
time, provided investment banking, commercial banking (including extension of credit) or other financial services to Audience or its affiliates for which they have received compensation of approximately $1.5 million since January&nbsp;1, 2012,
including having acted as joint bookrunner with respect to Audience&#146;s initial public offering of Audience common stock in May 2012. The DB Group may also provide investment banking and commercial banking and other financial services to Knowles,
Audience and their respective affiliates in the future, for which Deutsche Bank would expect the DB Group to receive compensation. However, no member of the DB Group has received any compensation from Knowles for such services since January&nbsp;1,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deutsche Bank calculated that Audience&#146;s implied enterprise value in the transaction was approximately $86 million based upon the $5.00
implied value of the merger consideration comprised of 50% cash and 50% Knowles common stock and taking into account Audience management&#146;s estimates of approximately $44 million in unrestricted cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2015.
Deutsche Bank noted that this implied enterprise value resulted in (i)&nbsp;a multiple of enterprise value to calendar year 2014 revenue of 0.8x, (ii)&nbsp;a multiple of enterprise value to last quarter annualized revenue of 1.2x (based on the first
quarter of 2015); and (iii)&nbsp;a multiple of enterprise value to Audience management estimates of 2015 revenue of 1.0x. Deutsche Bank also calculated that the implied value of the merger consideration of $5.00 per share represented (i)&nbsp;a
premium of approximately 1% to the $4.96 closing price of the Audience common stock on April 14, 2015, the last day prior to the short period during which the price of the Audience common stock increased approximately 27.6% as described above under
&#147;Background of the Transaction&#148; (which price resulted in an implied enterprise value of Audience of approximately $85 million); (ii)&nbsp;a discount of approximately 14% to the $5.53 closing price of the Audience common stock on April 28,
2015 (which price resulted in an implied enterprise value of Audience of approximately $100 million) and (iii)&nbsp;a premium of approximately 10% to the $4.72 average closing price for the Audience common stock for the 30-day period ended April 14,
2015 (which price resulted in an implied enterprise value of Audience of approximately $79 million). The foregoing enterprise values were calculated using the treasury method. </P>

included were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with certain financial and operating characteristics that, for purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to those of Audience. Accordingly, the analysis of publicly traded
companies was not simply mathematical. Rather, it involved complex considerations and qualitative judgments, reflected in the opinion of Deutsche Bank, concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and
other factors that could affect the public trading value of such companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the closing prices of the common stock of the
selected companies on April&nbsp;28, 2015, the last trading day prior to the date of the merger agreement, information contained in the most recent public filings of the selected companies, revenue for the most recently announced fiscal quarter and
analyst consensus estimates of full year 2015 for each of the selected companies, Deutsche Bank calculated the multiples of enterprise value, which is referred to in this document as &#147;EV,&#148; to (i)&nbsp;last quarter annualized revenue, which
is referred to in this document as &#147;LQA&#148; and (ii)&nbsp;2015 estimated revenue, for each of the selected companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Information
for Silicon Image, Inc. and Entropic Communications, Inc. took into account the respective share prices of each company as of one day prior to the announcement of their acquisitions by Lattice Semiconductor Corporation and MaxLinear, Inc. on
January&nbsp;27, 2015 and February&nbsp;3, 2015, respectively. </P>   <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deutsche Bank also calculated the same multiples for Audience
based upon, the closing price of $5.53 per share of Audience common stock on April&nbsp;28, 2015, the last trading day prior to the date of the merger agreement and upon the implied value of the merger consideration of $5.00 per share. Deutsche Bank
calculated the multiples based on both analyst consensus estimates and Audience management estimates. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, based upon the
information described above, Deutsche Bank calculated 2014 revenue growth and EBIT Margin (earnings before interest and taxes divided by net revenue) and estimated 2015 revenue growth for Audience and each of the selected companies. </P>

publicly available information relating to 2014 revenue growth and 2014 EBIT margin (earnings before interest and taxes divided by net revenue) for Audience and the selected companies, and Audience management estimates of 2015 revenue, and taking
into account its professional judgment and experience, Deutsche Bank calculated ranges of estimated implied values per share of Audience common stock (i)&nbsp;of approximately $4.26 to $5.09 per share by applying multiples of enterprise value to LQA
revenue of 0.9x to 1.2x derived from the selected companies with Apple/Samsung concentration, (ii)&nbsp;of approximately $3.70 to $4.54 per share by applying multiples of enterprise value to LQA revenue of 0.7x to 1.0x derived from the selected
small cap semi vendors, (iii)&nbsp;of approximately $4.46 to $6.78 per share by applying multiples of enterprise value to 2015 estimated revenue of 0.8x to 1.5x derived from the selected companies with Apple/Samsung concentration and (iv)&nbsp;of
approximately $3.78 to $5.46 per share by applying multiples of enterprise value to 2015 estimated revenue of 0.6x to 1.1x derived from the selected small cap semi vendors. Deutsche Bank did not weight the analyses relating to either the companies
with Apple/Samsung concentration or the analyses relating to the small cap semi vendors more heavily than the other. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deutsche Bank
noted that Audience had a cash balance of approximately $44 million as of March&nbsp;31, 2015, but that, based upon Audience management projections, that amount would decline by approximately $11 million (or approximately $0.42 per share) by the
time of closing of the offer and the merger. Deutsche Bank also noted that, based upon Audience management&#146;s projections, Audience would need to raise approximately $20 million in additional equity if it were to continue to operate on a
standalone basis and that any such equity issuance would be expected to dilute the implied share prices described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Selected Transactions

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based in part upon the multiples of the selected transactions described above, as well as publicly available
information relating to EBIT margin and revenue growth for Audience and the target companies which participated in such transactions, and taking into account its professional judgment and experience, Deutsche Bank calculated a range of estimated
implied values per share of Audience common stock by applying multiples of 0.9x to 1.8x to Audience management estimates of the last twelve months revenue, resulting in a range of implied value of approximately $5.59 to $9.34 per share. Deutsche
Bank also calculated a range of estimated implied values per share of Audience common stock by applying multiples of 1.1x to 1.9x to Audience management estimates of 2015 revenue, resulting in a range of implied value of approximately $5.46 to $8.10
per share. Deutsche Bank noted that Audience had a cash balance of approximately $44 million as of March&nbsp;31, 2015, but that, based upon Audience management projections, that amount would decline by approximately $11 million (or approximately
$0.42 per share) by the time of closing of the offer and the merger. Deutsche Bank also noted that, based upon Audience management&#146;s projections, Audience would need to raise approximately $20 million in additional equity if it were to continue
to operate on a standalone basis and that any such equity issuance would be expected to dilute the implied share prices described above. In addition, Deutsche Bank noted that the selected transactions analysis was of more limited utility than the
other analyses presented by Deutsche Bank because none of the target companies had the same operational and financial profile as Audience (in particular because of Audience&#146;s significant declines in revenue, large operating losses and need to
raise additional capital). </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deutsche Bank performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Audience using financial forecasts and other information and data provided by
Audience&#146;s management, including a cash balance of approximately $44&nbsp;million as of March&nbsp;31, 2015, to calculate a range of implied net present values per share of Audience common stock as of March&nbsp;31, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, Deutsche Bank applied a range of discount rates of 15.0% to 17.0% to (i)&nbsp;Audience&#146;s
management estimates of after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the period from March&nbsp;31, 2015 through December&nbsp;31, 2019, using the mid-year convention and (ii)&nbsp;estimated terminal values using a range of perpetuity growth rates of
3.0% to 5.0%. Deutsche Bank derived the foregoing range of discount rates by utilizing a weighed average cost of capital analysis based on certain financial metrics, including market risk premium and size premium for Audience and betas for Audience
and the selected companies with Apple/Samsung concentration and selected small cap semi vendors described above. Deutsche Bank performed the discounted cash flow analysis on Audience common stock both without taking into account any additional
equity financing and taking into account the dilutive impact of raising an additional $20 million in equity at discounts of 15%, 30% and 45% to the closing price of the Audience common stock of $5.53 per share on April&nbsp;28, 2015. Deutsche Bank
derived its range of equity discounts taking into account the range of discounts observed on recent PIPE offerings and, with guidance from management and the Audience board of directors, that the price of Audience common stock would likely decline
significantly following announcement of updated guidance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values per share of
Audience common stock, without taking into account any additional equity financing, of approximately $4.38 to $6.20 per share. Deutsche Bank noted that this resulted in a range of implied terminal FY+1 revenue multiples of 0.7x to 1.0x. Taking into
account the issuance of an additional $20 million in equity, this analysis resulted in ranged of implied present values per share of Audience common stock of (i)&nbsp;approximately $3.76 to $5.33 per share assuming the additional equity is raised at
a 15% discount to the current stock price, (ii)&nbsp;approximately $3.65 to $5.18 per share assuming the additional equity is raised at a 30% discount to the current stock price and (iii)&nbsp;approximately $3.50 to $4.95 per share assuming the
additional equity is raised at a 45% discount to the current stock price. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Historical Trading Analysis&#151;Knowles </I></P>

affiliates) pursuant to the merger agreement, from a financial point of view as of the date of the opinion and do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold, which are
inherently subject to uncertainty. As described above, in connection with its analyses, Deutsche Bank made, and was provided by the managements of Audience and Knowles with, numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business
and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Deutsche Bank, Audience or Knowles. Analyses based on estimates or forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual past or future values or
results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because such analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of Audience or Knowles or their
respective advisors, Deutsche Bank does not assume responsibility if future results or actual values are materially different from these forecasts or assumptions. </P>

the Audience board of directors. Deutsche Bank did not recommend any specific consideration to Audience or the Audience board of directors, or that any specific amount or type of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the
transaction. As described above, the opinion of Deutsche Bank and its presentation to the Audience board of directors were among a number of factors taken into consideration by the Audience board of directors in making its determination to approve

of Knowles. As a result of the merger, each then-outstanding share of Audience common stock held by persons other than Knowles or Purchaser and their subsidiaries, and stockholders of Audience who have properly preserved their appraisal rights, if
any, under applicable law, will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, which will be equivalent to the consideration provided to Audience stockholders who participate in the offer. If the merger is completed, Knowles&#146;
common equity interest in Audience would increase to 100% and Knowles would be entitled to all benefits resulting from that interest. These benefits include complete control of management with regard to the future conduct of Audience&#146;s business
and any increase in its value. Similarly, Knowles also will bear the risk of any losses incurred in the operation of Audience and any decrease in its value. </P>

in the offer will cease to have an equity interest in Audience and will not participate in its earnings or any future growth (except indirectly through ownership of Knowles common stock received in the merger). Similarly, the stockholders of
Audience will not bear the risk of any decrease in the value of Audience common stock after tendering their shares of Audience common stock in the offer or having their shares of Audience common stock converted in the merger (except indirectly

the target corporation, and the other stockholders receive the same consideration for their stock in the merger as was payable in the tender offer, the acquiring corporation can effect a merger without the action of the other stockholders of the

Audience is not prepared to file with the SEC the Schedule 14D-9). The obligation of Purchaser to accept for exchange and to deliver consideration for shares of Audience common stock tendered pursuant to the offer is subject to the satisfaction of
the minimum condition and certain other conditions described in &#147;The Offer&#151;Conditions to the Offer.&#148; The merger agreement provides that without the prior written consent of Audience, no change may be made to the offer that
(1)&nbsp;changes the form of consideration to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to the offer, (2)&nbsp;decreases any component of the offer consideration, (3)&nbsp;decreases the number of shares of Audience common stock to be purchased by Purchaser
in the offer, (4)&nbsp;imposes additional conditions or modifies the existing offer conditions in a manner adverse to Audience stockholders or (5)&nbsp;except as provided below, extends the expiration time of the offer. </P>

more occasions for additional successive periods of up to 10 business days per extension (but not beyond July&nbsp;31, 2015, as such date may be extended under certain circumstances to September&nbsp;1, 2015); and (2)&nbsp;Purchaser is required to

rights, if any, under applicable law, will be converted into the right to receive: (i)&nbsp;$2.50 in cash, without interest, and (ii)&nbsp;a number of shares of Knowles common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to the amount obtained by
dividing $2.50 by the volume weighted average of the sale prices for Knowles common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day prior to the final
expiration date of the offer (the &#147;closing date average price&#148;), in each case subject to the adjustment procedures described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related letter of transmittal (collectively, the &#147;merger

stock or Knowles common stock are changed, as applicable, into a different number or class of shares by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares,
readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon is declared with a record date within said period, then the merger consideration will be appropriately adjusted to achieve the same economic outcome. </P>

cause Computershare to mail to each record holder of Audience common stock a letter of transmittal and instructions for use, which each remaining record holder can use to exchange Audience common stock certificates for the merger consideration
described above and cash for any fractional share of Knowles common stock. Audience common stock certificates that are not delivered for exchange in the offer should not be surrendered for exchange by Audience stockholders before the consummation of
the merger. After the consummation of the merger, transfers of Audience common stock will not be registered on the stock transfer books of Audience. </P>

consideration described above and cash for any fractional share of Knowles common stock. Knowles will not pay dividends or other distributions on any shares of Knowles common stock to be issued in exchange for any Audience common stock certificate
that is not surrendered until the Audience common stock certificate is surrendered as provided in the merger agreement. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to induce Knowles and the Purchaser to enter into the merger agreement, each member of the Audience board of directors, certain
officers of Audience (Peter B. Santos, Edgar Auslander and Kevin S. Palatnik) and funds associated with Tallwood Venture Capital, a venture capital firm affiliated with one of Audience&#146;s directors, have entered into a Tender and Support
Agreement with Knowles, solely in such person&#146;s capacity as an Audience stockholder. The following is a summary of the Tender and Support Agreements. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of the terms and
conditions of the Tender and Support Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Tender and Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this prospectus/offer to exchange and are incorporated herein by
reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms of the Tender and Support Agreements, each person who entered into a Tender and Support Agreement has
agreed to tender (and not withdraw) all of the shares of Audience common stock beneficially owned by such persons in the offer and, if necessary, will vote any remaining shares that such person owns for the merger. Under the terms of the Tender and
Support Agreements, each such person has also agreed to certain restrictions on the transferability of its shares and the transferability of certain voting rights. Each Tender and Support Agreement terminates automatically, among other things, upon
consummation of the merger or termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms. Each Tender and Support Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of May&nbsp;15, 2015, the persons who executed the Tender and Support Agreements beneficially owned in the aggregate 7,318,614 shares of
Audience common stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units beneficially owned by such persons). Of such shares, an aggregate of 4,991,854 outstanding shares are currently outstanding and therefore
subject to the Tender and Support Agreements. The shares subject to the Tender and Support Agreements represent approximately 21.1% of the shares of Audience common stock outstanding as of May&nbsp;15, 2015. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a brief description of the business of Audience. Additional information regarding Audience is contained in its filings with
the SEC. For information on how you can obtain copies of such filings, please see the section entitled &#147;Where You Can Find Additional Information&#148; beginning on page 120 of this prospectus/offer to exchange. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Audience is a leading provider of intelligent voice and audio solutions that improve voice quality and the user experience in mobile devices.
Its technologies, based in auditory neuroscience, improve the mobile voice experience, as well as enhance speech-based services and audio quality for multimedia. Audience&#146;s products have been shipped in more than 500&nbsp;million devices
worldwide. Audience has developed purpose-built processors that combine science and technology to function like human hearing and sensing. Its low power, hardware-accelerated digital signal processors (&#147;DSPs&#148;) and audio codecs and
associated algorithms substantially improve user experience through interpretation of sound, motion and other sensor types. As the primary driver of the mobile device market, the mobile phone continues to play an increasingly prominent role in
peoples&#146; lives. Voice communication is a primary function of mobile phones, and Audience expects voice to increasingly complement touch as a core user interface, heightening the importance of voice and audio quality in mobile devices. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The human auditory system is remarkable for its ability to isolate individual sources within a complex sound mixture, which is referred to as
auditory intelligence. Audience has incorporated this auditory intelligence into an intelligent platform by employing computational auditory scene analysis (&#147;CASA&#148;), a scientific discipline dedicated to mapping the sound separation
functions in human hearing, into a computational framework. This approach enables its products to intelligently characterize, group and isolate sounds to improve sound quality while suppressing noise. Audience believes that its approach addresses
the challenge of providing clear and consistent voice and audio quality more effectively than other available solutions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;11,
2014, Audience acquired Sensor Platforms, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Sensor Platforms&#148;). Sensor Platforms develops software and algorithms that interpret sensor data to enable broad context awareness on smart phones, wearables and
other consumer devices. Audience believes that the combination of Sensor Platforms&#146; motion sensing technology with Audience&#146;s voice and audio solutions places the combined company in a unique position to deliver compelling solutions based
on the fusion of voice and motion. The first product to come out of this acquisition is the MotionQ Library, a software platform that includes advanced algorithms, power conscious architecture, and a high-level application programming interface.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Audience&#146;s platform consists of its proprietary, purpose-built DSPs and audio codecs, circuits and algorithms that translate back
and forth between analog and digital signals. Audience works with original equipment manufacturers (&#147;OEMs&#148;) to have its voice and audio processors designed into their products, which is referred to as design wins. Audience generally sells
its processors directly to OEMs and their contract manufacturers (&#147;CMs&#148;) on a purchase order basis. Audience also sells a small portion of its products indirectly to OEMs through distributors. In addition, Audience currently
licenses&nbsp;software that interprets sensor data related to the motion of mobile devices and has announced its first&nbsp;stand-alone software product that improves sound quality and suppresses background noise. Audience&#146;s OEMs&#146; products
are complex and require significant time to design, launch and ramp to volume production. As a result, Audience&#146;s sales cycle is lengthy. Audience typically commences commercial shipments of its products up to one year following a design win.
Because the sales cycle for its products is long, Audience incurs expenses to develop and sell its products, regardless of whether it achieves a design win and well in advance of generating revenue, if any. In addition, achieving a design win from
an OEM does not ensure that the OEM will begin producing the related product in a timely manner, if at all, or that the design win will ultimately generate additional revenue for Audience. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Audience initially targeted the rapidly growing mobile device market, with its primary focus on mobile phones. Audience began production
shipments in 2008 and, as of December&nbsp;31, 2014, had sold over 500&nbsp;million </P>

processors to its OEM customers. In addition to the mobile device market, Audience believes that its voice and audio technology is applicable to a broad range of other market segments, such as
automobile infotainment systems and remote controls for set-top boxes. Audience outsources the manufacture of its voice and audio processors to independent foundries and use third parties for assembly, packaging, test and logistics. </P>

Knowles. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings combine the historical statements of earnings of Knowles and Audience for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2015 and the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014, giving effect
to the merger as if it had occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Knowles and Audience as of March&nbsp;31, 2015, giving effect to the merger
as if it had occurred on March&nbsp;31, 2015. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the acquisition and, with respect to the statement of income

acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with Knowles treated as the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other
studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measure. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial
statements, and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as of the date of acquisition. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may have a material impact on the accompanying
pro forma financial statements and Knowles&#146; future results of operations and financial position. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The pro forma financial statements

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;29, 2015, Knowles entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Audience pursuant to the offer
and the merger. Through the offer, Knowles is offering to exchange each outstanding Audience share for (i)&nbsp;$2.50 in cash, without interest, and (ii)&nbsp;a number of shares of Knowles common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to the amount
obtained by dividing $2.50 by the volume weighted average of the sale prices for Knowles&#146; common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day prior
to the final expiration date of the offer, in each case subject to the adjustment procedures as described in this prospectus/offer to exchange. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Knowles expects to fund the cash portion of the transaction by accessing its existing revolving credit facility. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Purchaser&#146;s obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange, Audience shares for cash and shares of Knowles common stock in the
offer is subject to a number of conditions, including that a majority of the outstanding Audience shares have been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the offer and the receipt of the required regulatory approvals. The transaction is
expected to be completed as soon as possible after the expiration of the offer, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the closing. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 2&#151;Basis of Presentation </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2015 and the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 give effect to the Audience acquisition as if it occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition of Audience as if it occurred on March&nbsp;31, 2015. The pro forma adjustments are required to reflect the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Audience and are based on the
estimated fair value of Audience&#146;s assets and liabilities as of March&nbsp;31, 2015. The pro forma financial statements do not give effect to any accelerated share repurchases, which Knowles may enter into following the closing of the offer and
the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and
was based on the historical financial information of Knowles and Audience. The acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) Topic 805&#151;Business Combinations (&#147;ASC 805&#148;)
requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820&#151;Fair Value Measurement
(&#147;ASC 820&#148;). The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i)&nbsp;directly attributable to
the acquisition, (ii)&nbsp;factually supportable, and (iii)&nbsp;with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings, are expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;11, 2014, Audience completed its acquisition of Sensor Platforms, Inc. (&#147;Sensor Platforms&#148;). Accordingly, Sensor
Platforms&#146; results are included in Audience&#146;s consolidated financial statements subsequent to July&nbsp;11, 2014. During the period January&nbsp;1, 2014 through July&nbsp;11, 2014, Sensor Platforms&#146; revenue was $0.3 million and net
loss was $2.3 million. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 excludes the results of Sensor Platforms for the period January&nbsp;1, 2014 through July&nbsp;11, 2014 as it is not
material to the combined results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 3&#151;Accounting Policies </B></P>

the asset&#146;s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, among other factors. These assumptions will be adjusted accordingly, if the final identifiable intangible asset valuation generates results, including a corresponding useful
lives and related amortization methods, that differ from the pro forma estimates or if the above scope of intangible assets is modified. The final valuation will be completed within 12 months from the close of the acquisition. </P>

(&#147;Parent&#148;), Orange Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), and the Company. The Merger Agreement provides for an exchange offer (the &#147;Exchange Offer&#148;) for all of the issued and outstanding

element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into
account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at
5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting
corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any

fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(k) From and after the

distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be
filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder&#146;s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger
or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an
appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court
deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder&#146;s demand for appraisal and to
accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section. </P>

also made to Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or
was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or
in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. The indemnification permitted under the DGCL is not
exclusive, and a corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities, whether or not indemnification would be permitted by statute. </P>
