SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio and voice technologies, announced today that its Board of Directors has terminated its Offer to Purchase for Cash up to $10 million in value of shares of its common stock pursuant to a Dutch Auction. The Dutch Auction, which was previously announced on August 29, 2008, is being terminated and withdrawn as a result of the Company's receipt of an unsolicited inbound offer to purchase all of the Company's common stock for consideration with a stated value per share in excess of repurchase price set forth in the Offer to Purchase. As a result, SRS will not repurchase any shares under the Offer to Purchase, and any shares previously tendered in connection with the Offer to Purchase will be returned promptly to the tendering stockholders by the depositary. After consultation with its legal and financial advisors, the Company's board of directors has indicated that it believes that proceeding with the inbound offer as submitted is not in the best interest of the SRS stockholders. This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of SRS common stock. The solicitation of offers to buy shares of SRS common stock will only be made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase dated August 29, 2008 (as may be amended or supplemented), the related letter of transmittal, and other related documents that SRS is sending to its stockholders.
