Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of Atmel Corporation ("Atmel" or the "Company") (NASDAQ GS: ATML) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company's entry into an agreement to be acquired by Dialog Semiconductor Plc ("Dialog"), in a transaction valued at approximately $4.6 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Atmel will receive $4.65 in cash and 0.112 of a Dialog American Depository Share for each share of Atmel they own.  

The investigation concerns whether Atmel's board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible value for Atmel's shareholders before entering into an agreement with Dialog.  According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has issued a price target for Atmel stock at $12.00 per share.     

If you own the common stock of Atmel and purchased your shares before September 21, 2015, if you have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or if you wish to discuss these matters or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Seth D.
