---------------------------------------------------------------------
London, UK, 30 July 2015 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a
provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC, solid state lighting
and Bluetooth(R) Smart wireless technology, today announces that
Jean-Michel Richard, Chief Financial Officer will step down.
Jean-Michel Richard, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of
Finance, has informed the Board of his intention to step down from his
position in Q4 to ensure an orderly transition of his responsibilities. A
search for Mr. Richard's successor is well underway.
Jean-Michel joined Dialog Semiconductor in September 2006, taking
responsibility for the leadership of the Company's finance department.
Since that time, he has played a key role in helping to shape Dialog's
successful strategy and developing a finance function to support the
Company's high-growth trajectory.
Mr. Richard said:
"It has been a privilege to be part of the talented team that has
transformed Dialog into the success story it is today. It is now time for
me to leave the Company to spend more time with my family and pursue other
interests. I wish Dialog and all my colleagues and friends continued great
success."
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Richard Beyer commented:
"On behalf of the Board and the entire management team, I would like to
thank Jean-Michel for nine years of tireless commitment. Dialog was a very
different firm with a much less certain future when Jean-Michel first took
up his role in 2006. The positive transformation in Dialog's financial
position and prospects owes much to the work he has carried out. We wish
him and his family well for the future."
Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jalal Bagherli added:
"Jean-Michel has made an enormous contribution to Dialog's strong
profitable growth track record. Over the past nine years he has made an
even greater contribution to me personally, as a close, effective and
hugely energetic colleague. I would like to thank him for his hard work and
dedication. He can be proud of the finance function he has built and the
strong, financial momentum he leaves behind"
