New York, NY, February 23, 2011 -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Zoran Corporation (“Zoran” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ZRAN) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the company to CSR PLC (“CSR”). Under the terms of the agreement, Zoran stockholders will receive 1.85 ordinary shares of CSR in the form of American Depositary Shares for each share of Zoran stock they own for a total transaction value of approximately $679 million. CSR also plans to return up to $240 million to shareholders via an on-market share buyback program.

The investigation concerns whether the Zoran Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Zoran stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether CSR is underpaying for Zoran shares, thus unlawfully harming Zoran stockholders. In particular, Ramius LLC, one of the largest shareholders of Zoran with beneficial ownership of 9.3% of the shares outstanding, stated it believes the transaction may undervalue Zoran and questioned whether the transaction was the result of a full and fair sale process to maximize value for all Zoran shareholders.
