Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 28, 2006, Cirrus Logic's stockholders ratified and approved the adoption of the Cirrus Logic, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was previously approved by the Board of Directors of Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the "Board") and expires on May 9, 2016. The Plan provides for new awards of stock-based incentive compensation to eligible employees, consultants, and directors. In connection with the adoption of the Plan, all shares under Cirrus Logic’s 2002 Stock Option Plan ("2002 Plan") that are not subject to previously granted awards have been canceled, and no further awards will be granted under the 2002 Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock awards and bonus stock awards. An aggregate of 17 million shares have been reserved for issuance as awards over the term of the Plan, subject to adjustment only to reflect stock splits and similar events.

The Board has appointed the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") to administer the Plan. The Committee will determine who will participate in the Plan, as well as the terms of grants issued pursuant to the Plan. Stock options granted under the Plan may not have a term longer than 10 years. The Plan limits awards to any individual participant in any single calendar year to no more than 400,000 shares. Vesting of awards granted pursuant to the Plan may be conditioned on continued employment, the passage of time or the satisfaction of performance vesting criteria established on the date of grant. The Plan provides that such vesting requirements will be determined by the Committee.

The foregoing summary description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. For additional information regarding the Plan, refer to Proposal 2 (Ratification and Approval of the Cirrus Logic, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan) on pages 12-20 of our 2006 Proxy Statement, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 2, 2006.
