<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On behalf of our client, Actions Semiconductor
Co., Ltd (&ldquo;<B>Actions</B>&rdquo; or the &ldquo;<B>Company</B>&rdquo;), we are submitting this letter in response to comments
from the staff (the &ldquo;<B>Staff</B>&rdquo;) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;<B>Commission</B>&rdquo;)
received by letter dated September 19, 2014 (the &ldquo;<B>Comment Letter</B>&rdquo;) with respect to the Company&rsquo;s Amendment

that the aggregate number of shares tendered referenced in the Staff&rsquo;s comment includes Shares (including Shares represented
by ADSs) properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at all purchase prices. Of the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs)
so tendered, based on the preliminary count by the depositary for the tender offer, 110,289,879 Shares (including Shares represented
by ADSs) were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at a purchase price of $5/12 per Share (or $2.50 per ADS), the per Share
purchase price and per ADS purchase price at which the Company expected to accept for purchase. Accordingly, the proration factor
was estimated to be 54.4%. In light of the Staff&rsquo;s comment, the Company will add clarifying language in its press release
announcing the final tender offer results.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-indent: 0.25in">In light of the
Staff&rsquo;s comment, the Company has arranged to provide payment within six to seven business days of the expiration of the
tender offer, and is making a concerted effort to effect payment by Friday, September 26, 2014. As discussed with the Staff,
the Company believes that it meets the conditions set forth in Rule 13e-4(i)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. In this regard, the Company has determined that it is a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 and is not an
investment company registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition,
following an analysis of its base of securityholders pursuant to the Instructions to paragraph (h)(8) and (i) of Rule 13e-4,
the Company believes that not more than 40% of the class of securities sought in the tender offer was held by U.S. holders
as of August 15, 2014. In reaching this conclusion, the Company determined that approximately 57.5% of the Shares (including
Shares represented by ADSs)  were held by record holders of the Company&rsquo;s ordinary shares who reside or are located
outside the United States or the Cayman Islands, the Company&rsquo;s jurisdiction of incorporation. Further, based on its
actual knowledge of employee ADS holdings and its inquiry of a single large holder of ADSs known to the Company, the Company
determined that at least an additional approximately 7% of the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) were owned by
non-U.S. holders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-indent: 0.25in">Rule 13e-4(i)(2)(iv) provides
that payment made in accordance with the requirements of the home jurisdiction law or practice will satisfy the requirements of
Rule 14e-1(c). As the Company believes it meets the conditions set forth in Rule 13e-4(i)(1), the Company respectfully submits
to the Staff that payment of the tender offer consideration within the timeframe provided in the preceding paragraph is reasonably
prompt given the facts and circumstances specific to this transaction and is being made in accordance with the requirements
of Cayman Island law or practice.</P>
