Preamble

This

Proxy

Contest

Not

Typical

This is the 2

round, as two Starboard candidates were added to our

board last year

We believe this 2

round is all about forcing a fire-sale of the

company

Now is not the time to sell the company; a fire-sale would significantly

undervalue our business and growth prospects

We have confidence that our business plan will create significant

value for stockholders

“The company is too small to remain public

and, needs to be sold, it should have been sold

already”

(Starboard

representatives,

Feb

6 ,

2013)

Starboard’s position is clear:

Our Board has and continues to consider all

alternatives to maximize shareholder value without

ruling out any alternative

Giving Starboard Additional Nominees Will Hurt the

Company

Starboard’s nominees do not have relevant CEO level experience in

managing a fabless semiconductor company

Starboard’s nominees do not have relevant experience in managing a

company in Israel, where most of DSP Group’s operations and R&D are

based

Additional Starboard nominees on the Board will have a negative impact

on employee morale resulting in key employees departures, negative

impact on key customers and suppliers with whom the company has

long-lasting partnerships

Additional Starboard nominees on the Board will considerably weaken

the

current

Board

–

the

DSP

Group

Board

members

targeted

Starboard are among our most experienced directors

We believe Starboard’s slate neither replaces that experience nor adds

any unique skillset or expertise

Negative impact on shareholder value –

A dysfunctional Board can

destroy shareholder value

DSP Group’s Recent Operational Success

Strategic Growth to Maximize Stockholder Value

The Proxy Contest

Executive Summary

DSP Group is Undergoing a Robust Turnaround

Company’s stock has outperformed relevant indexes and industry peers since cost reduction program

initiated immediately after Q2 2011 when softening of Cordless market became evident

Company’s stock has outperformed relevant indexes and industry peers over past 12 months and

year-to-date with growing evidence of operational turnaround and new product launches

There has been a significant improvement in operating performance post cost structure re-alignment

Solidified our #1 position in the Cordless domain, attained #1 position in HGW w/ DECT and #3

market share position in Enterprise VoIP

Company’s

Board

and

Management

Executing

Prudent

Plan

for

Growth

Year-to-date have successfully expanded TAM over 10x to greater than 1 Billion units with three new

chipset product launches

Leveraging R&D investments in cordless telephony, to drive revenues in new opportunities cellular

and enterprise telephony enabled the company to maintain below average industry R&D spend,

without sacrificing revenue growth

New products targeted at growing mobile, enterprise and home automation markets are gaining

traction; significant design wins so far this year

DSP Group Board Nominees are Best Positioned to Lead the Company

Have significant operational, strategic, financial and public board experience in our areas of focus

Their re-election would remove uncertainty about the company’s future with employees, customers

and suppliers

Robust Turnaround Underway With Plan for Growth; Current

Board Nominees Best Positioned to Lead the Company

Turning more influence or control of the Company to Starboard nominees is

disproportionate and inappropriate

believe

that

Starboard’s

only

agenda

force

fire

sale

the

Company

promptly

possible

A fire sale of the Company now, at current prices, would severely undervalue the Company’s

growth

initiatives,

and

deprive

stockholders

the

returns

they

deserve

get

Starboard previously appointed two directors to our Board in connection with a settlement

agreement with Starboard in an effort to avoid a proxy contest in 2012.

Election of Starboard’s nominees would result in 5 out of 9 directors having been selected by

Starboard; voting for Starboard’s candidates is not in the best interests of the Company

Adding

Starboard

nominees

the

Board

could

provide

AGENDA

Executive Summary

DSP Group’s Recent Operational Success

Strategic Growth to Maximize Stockholder Value

The Proxy Contest

Starboard is a 10% Owner Looking to Nominate a Majority

of Our Directors; We’re Convinced They Are Seeking to

Sell the Company

In 2012, Starboard designated two directors for appointment to our Board in

connection with a settlement, which averted a proxy fight last year

In 2013, Starboard has nominated three additional directors. If elected, Starboard

would have designated five out of nine directors, which would constitute a

majority of our directors, holding only 10% of the stock and without paying a

control premium

Starboard nominees would achieve majority without Starboard paying any

premium and despite the fact that Starboard only owns about one-tenth of the

Company’s shares

The

proxy

contest

about

adding

Starboard

nominees

our

Board

and

gaining enough influence to force a fire-sale of the company

Not Your Typical Situation For a Proxy Contest;

More Support Our Belief Starboard is Looking to Sell the

Company

Starboard did not present or suggest plans to grow the company

Management and representatives of the Board have met with Starboard on

numerous occasions and, based on these conversations, we are convinced

that Starboard’s goal is to effect a sale of the Company as soon as possible

A sale at current price would undervalue the Company and deprive

stockholders from a return on R&D investments that were already made and

are expected to bear fruits in coming years

Starboard

not

understand

our

business

–

Starboard

suggested

that

the

Company should have developed a DSP Core instead of entering a licensing

deal with Ceva. Developing such a core would cost the company tens of

millions …

compared with the 6-figure licensing deal we signed and the fast

time to market it enabled

Starboard

does

not

understand

our

business

–

claiming

our

R&D

investments are “staggering”

or exceed what we should be spending, our

detailed comparison shows that we rank well below peers

We believe that the best shareholder value can be obtained by taking

advantage of the current market opportunities to capitalize on the research

and development investments already made over the past few years, which

are now beginning to bear fruit

DSP Group Directors and Management Are Committed To

Strong Corporate Governance

Poison pill was not renewed, even in the face of Starboard’s campaign to gain

control

Seven of nine directors are independent

3 out of the 9 current directors (Traub, Lacey and Seligsohn) have been

designated

suggested

shareholders

DSP

Group,

all

the

last

months

All directors are invited to attend all committee meetings and free to voice their

opinions on topics being discussed

4 out of the 7 independent directors joined the board in the last two years.

Separation of Chairman and CEO roles

Independent directors meet in executive session without management present

As soon as there was vacancy in our committees we nominated Mr. Lacey to

our Audit Committee
