Commission File No. 001-35528

Audience team,

This morning we announced the signing of a definitive agreement for Knowles to acquire Audience. I am excited about this agreement, which I believe will bring together the top teams in the industry in micro acoustic components and auditory & sensory intelligence.

As you may know, Knowles is the market leader in mobile and connected device audio components, including digital microphones and state-of-the-art smartphone speaker elements. Just as Audience has pioneered the advanced voice processing market, Knowles has pioneered the high performance microphone and transducer markets.

We believe the capabilities of Audience and Knowles are highly complementary, and this proposed merger brings into a single enterprise the best-in-class audio chain technology today across components, silicon, algorithms and systems design. Further, this transaction builds on an existing partnership - we have been collaborating over the last year to combine Knowles smart microphones with our Continuous VoiceQ capability, to deliver the lowest power always-on voice wake in the industry.

This combination of technologies is expected to create the opportunity to take this collaboration to the next level and innovate in system design, to deliver new capabilities, greater content and higher integration to our customers. Importantly, it will also place our team, our technology and our vision on the significantly larger Knowles platform, providing access to customers, investment and systems at a scope far beyond those available to Audience as a standalone company. We believe the combined company will have an extraordinary opportunity to create value for employees, shareholders, customers and partners.

The transaction has been approved by Audience’s and Knowles’ Boards of Directors, and we anticipate it will close during the third quarter of 2015, depending on the timing of regulatory approvals.

Until the deal is closed, Audience and Knowles will remain separate companies and it will be business as usual for all of us. Specifically, there are regulatory restrictions on any kind of business coordination prior to close of the transaction. In general, this means we need to keep the same focus on customers and execution of our business and product development activities as we had before this announcement.

I’m sure you all have many questions about this transaction and what it means for you and for the company. The management teams of Audience and Knowles will be working together to define and communicate transition plans, but in the meantime, please bring any questions to your manager or the HR team.

There will be a company meeting in Mountain View at 10:00am, today, Thursday, April 30, to discuss the transaction and introduce you to Jeff Niew, CEO of Knowles, and members of his team. We will also plan for calls with our teams in India and in East Asia on Monday after the May 1 holiday.
