  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;1, 2008, in accordance with the Company&#146;s 2003 Equity
  Incentive Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) and Board compensation provisions with respect to
  new non-employee directors as currently in effect, Mr.&nbsp;Ballard was granted
  options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock and a
  restricted stock award of 7,500 shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock, in each
  case pursuant to the Plan.&#160; The Plan also
  provides for an annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the
  Company&#146;s Common Stock and a restricted stock award of 2,500 shares of the
  Company&#146;s&#160; Common Stock to each
  non-employee director on the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders.
  However, a non-employee director who receives an initial stock option grant and
  restricted stock award on, or within a period of six months prior to, the date
  of an annual meeting of stockholders will not receive an annual stock option
  grant and restricted stock award with respect to that annual stockholders&#146;
  meeting. Each initial and annual option will have an exercise price equal to
  the fair market value of a share of the Company&#146;s Common Stock on the date of
  grant and will have a term of ten years.&#160;
  Mr.&nbsp;Ballard&#146;s initial restricted stock award will vest in three
  equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant for so long as he
  continuously remains a director of, or a consultant to, the Company. The
  initial stock options granted Mr.&nbsp;Ballard will vest and become exercisable
  in thirty-six equal installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of
  grant for so long as Mr.&nbsp;Ballard continuously remains a director of, or a
  consultant to, the Company.&#160; The annual
  restricted stock awards of 2,500 shares of Common Stock will vest in full on
  the anniversary of the date of the grant as long as the non-employee director
  remains a director of, or a consultant to, the Company on such anniversary. The
  annual stock option grants will vest and become exercisable in 12 equal
  installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of the grant for so long
  as the non-employee director continuously remains a director of, or a
  consultant to, the Company.&#160; In the event
  of the Company&#146;s merger with another corporation or another change of control,
  all outstanding options and restricted stock awards held by non-employee
  directors will vest in full.</font></p>

  Item 5.02.              Departure
  of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
  Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
  Effective May 1, 2008, the Registrant's Board of Directors (the "Board")
  of DTS, Inc. (the "Company"), upon recommendation of the Board's Nominating
  and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed L. Gregory Ballard as a Class I
  Director.
  There were no arrangements or understanding between Mr. Ballard
  and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director.
  On May 1, 2008, in accordance with the Company's 2003 Equity
  Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and Board compensation provisions with respect to
  new non-employee directors as currently in effect, Mr. Ballard was granted
  options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and a
  restricted stock award of 7,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock, in each
  case pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan also
  provides for an annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the
  Company's Common Stock and a restricted stock award of 2,500 shares of the
  Company's  Common Stock to each
  non-employee director on the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders.
  However, a non-employee director who receives an initial stock option grant and
  restricted stock award on, or within a period of six months prior to, the date
  of an annual meeting of stockholders will not receive an annual stock option
  grant and restricted stock award with respect to that annual stockholders'
  meeting. Each initial and annual option will have an exercise price equal to
  the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the date of
  grant and will have a term of ten years. 
  Mr. Ballard's initial restricted stock award will vest in three
  equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant for so long as he
  continuously remains a director of, or a consultant to, the Company. The
  initial stock options granted Mr. Ballard will vest and become exercisable
  in thirty-six equal installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of
  grant for so long as Mr. Ballard continuously remains a director of, or a
  consultant to, the Company.  The annual
  restricted stock awards of 2,500 shares of Common Stock will vest in full on
  the anniversary of the date of the grant as long as the non-employee director
  remains a director of, or a consultant to, the Company on such anniversary. The
  annual stock option grants will vest and become exercisable in 12 equal
  installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of the grant for so long
  as the non-employee director continuously remains a director of, or a
  consultant to, the Company.  In the event
  of the Company's merger with another corporation or another change of control,
  all outstanding options and restricted stock awards held by non-employee
  directors will vest in full.
  The Company
  currently pay
  s each of its
  non-employee directors an annual reta
  iner of $30,000.
  All Board and committee retainers are paid in equal
  quarterly installments over the course of each year of a director's service on
  the Board or applicable committee. The Company also promptly reimburses all
  non-employee directors for reasonable expenses incurred to attend meetings of
  the Board of Directors or its committees.
