SHANGHAI, Sept. 30, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RDA Microelectronics (Nasdaq:RDA) ("RDA"or the "Company"), a fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops and markets Radio Frequency (RF) and mixed-signal chips for cellular, broadcast and connectivity applications, today announced that Kin-Wah Loh has resigned from RDA's board of directors, effective October 1, 2011, to accept a position as executive vice president of global sales and marketing at NXP Semiconductors. NXP competes with RDA on a limited number of products, which creates a potential conflict of interest for Mr. Loh to remain on the board.

"We understand his decision to join NXP and wish him all the best in his new position with the company. RDA is committed to maintaining strong corporate governance practices, and we are in the process of identifying a new independent director with qualifications that will further enhance the depth of experience currently represented on RDA's board of directors."
