IDT Submits Proposal to Acquire Tundra Semiconductor

All Cash Offer of CDN$6.25 per Share Provides Increased Benefits to Tundra Shareholders and Common Customers

IDT(R) (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.) (NASDAQ:IDTI), a leading provider of essential mixed signal semiconductor solutions that enrich the digital media experience, today announced it has submitted a written proposal to acquire Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (TSX: TUN) in an all cash offer at a price of CDN$6.25 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately CDN$120.8 million.

Tundra is presently a party to an agreement (the Gennum Agreement) for Gennum Corporation (Gennum; TSX: GND) to acquire Tundra with a mixture of cash and stock. The IDT proposal constitutes a premium of 12%, based on Gennum's 5-day volume weighted average price of CDN$4.59 per share ended April 24. The Tundra board of directors has determined that the IDT proposal is a superior proposal under the Gennum Agreement.

"IDT is excited to present Tundra with an acquisition proposal, which we believe offers significant value to Tundra's shareholders. The strength of Tundra in serial switching and bridging using PCI Express(R), Rapid IO(R) and VME, combined with IDT's mixed-signal portfolio and channel capabilities, would reinforce IDT's leadership in interconnect solutions for the communication, computing, and embedded segments," said Dr. Ted Tewksbury, president and CEO at IDT. "We believe that this strategic business combination would provide customers with a broader product offering as well as improved service, support and future roadmap of serial connectivity innovations. In addition, we expect the proposed acquisition would be accretive to IDT's non-GAAP EPS in the third full quarter of combined operations."

Pursuant to the terms of the Gennum Agreement, Gennum has a five business day period that ends at 11:59 pm (EDT) on Friday, May 1, 2009 in which to match the IDT proposal. The IDT Board of Directors has unanimously approved the acquisition proposal to Tundra, and entry into a definitive agreement with Tundra in connection with the IDT proposal, subject to the Gennum five business day matching period and the termination of the Gennum Agreement.

Tundra is a semiconductor company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada that supplies communications, computing and storage companies with system interconnect products, intellectual property and design services backed by customer service and technical support.
