US chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed a cash deal to buy UK counterpart CSR for $2.5bn (£1.6bn).
This equates to 900 pence a share. CSR shares rose 30% to 855p after the deal was announced.

CSR chairman Ron Mackintosh said the deal represented a "very attractive outcome for shareholders, customers and employees".
