This free writing prospectus relates only to the securities described below and should be read together with the preliminary prospectus dated November 14, 2007 relating to this offering (the “Preliminary Prospectus”), included in Amendment No. 8 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-144899) relating to these securities. The following information supplements and updates the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and primarily relates to a reduction in the number of shares offered and the anticipated offering price and a consequent reduction in the anticipated net proceeds of the offering. The most recent Registration Statement can be accessed through the following link: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1227930/000119312507260008/0001193125-07-260008-index.htm.

The following information supplements and updates the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus:

 

Common stock offered by us:

8,000,000 shares.

 

Over-allotment option:

The selling stockholders, which include our chief executive officer and certain other members of our management, have granted the underwriters an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of common stock.

 

Common stock to be outstanding after this offering:

67,614,775 shares.

 

Initial public offering price per share:

Expected to be between $6.00 and $8.00 per share. This represents a price per share below the price range of $9.00 to $11.00 indicated in the Preliminary Prospectus.

 

Net proceeds to us:

Approximately $48.8 million, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of stock by the selling stockholders.

 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $7.4 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth above, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

Use of proceeds:

The net proceeds that we will receive from this offering will be less than the estimated net proceeds set forth under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Prospectus.

We anticipate using approximately $9.0 million of the net proceeds to us from this offering for the repayment of all principal and accrued interest owed under RF Magic’s credit facility with Horizon and under Entropic’s credit facility with Horizon and Silicon Valley Bank. A prepayment penalty equaling 1.0% of the principal amount then outstanding under the RF Magic credit facility ($70,000 based on the principal amounts set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus) and 2.0% of


the principal amount then outstanding under the Entropic credit facility ($40,000 based on the principal amounts set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus) will apply if the net proceeds received by Horizon and Silicon Valley Bank as selling stockholders in this offering do not exceed a threshold amount specified in the applicable loan and security agreements. If the initial public offering price falls within the expected price range of $6.00 to $8.00 per share, the prepayment penalty under the RF Magic credit facility will apply but the prepayment penalty under the Entropic credit facility will not apply. In the event any such prepayment penalty does apply, we intend to use net proceeds to us from this offering to pay such amount.

Apart from the repayment of outstanding indebtedness as described above, we currently have no specific plans for the use of the net proceeds to us from this offering, nor have we performed studies or made preliminary decisions with respect to the best use of the capital resources resulting from this offering. We anticipate using the balance of the net proceeds to us from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to us from this offering to acquire or license products, technologies or businesses, but we currently have no agreements or commitments relating to material acquisitions or licenses.

 

As adjusted balance sheet data:

Based on an initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, as of September 30, 2007, on an as adjusted basis: cash and cash equivalents would have been approximately $50.9 million, working capital would have been approximately $70.5 million, total assets would have been approximately $217.0 million, and total stockholders’ equity would have been approximately $194.0 million.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, would increase (decrease) each of cash and cash equivalents, total assets and total stockholders’ equity by approximately $7.4 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth above, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

As adjusted capitalization:

Based on an initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, as of September 30, 2007, on an as adjusted basis: additional paid-in capital would have been approximately $286.3 million, accumulated deficit would have been approximately $92.4 million, total stockholders’ equity would have been approximately $194.0 million and total capitalization would have been approximately $194.5 million.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, would increase (decrease) each of the as adjusted additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $7.4 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth above, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

Dilution:

After giving effect to the sale of common stock offered in this offering at an initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, and after deducting the underwriting discounts

 

2


and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2007 would have been approximately $71.7 million, or approximately $1.06 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.68 per share to existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $5.94 per share to investors participating in this offering.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, would increase the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $0.11 per share, and would increase the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to investors in this offering by $0.89 per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth above, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Based on an initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth above, the investors participating in this offering will have purchased approximately 11.8% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the completion of this offering and will have contributed approximately 19.9% of the total consideration paid for our common stock.

Assuming the exercise of all options, warrants and put and call rights outstanding or exercisable as of September 30, 2007 and the conversion of all of our preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2007 into shares of our common stock, and based on the same initial public offering price per share, the investors participating in this offering will have purchased approximately 10.6% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the completion of this offering and will have contributed approximately 19.2% of the total consideration paid for our common stock.
