Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that (i) Ray and Dagmar Dolby as Trustees of the Ray Dolby Trust under the Dolby Family Trust Instrument dated May 7, 1999, (ii) Ray and Dagmar Dolby, as Trustees of the Ray Dolby 2002 Trust A dated April 19, 2002, (iii) Ray and Dagmar Dolby, as Trustees of the Ray Dolby 2002 Trust B dated April 19, 2002, (iv) Ray and Dagmar Dolby, as Trustees of the Ray Dolby 2011 Trust A dated December 14, 2011, and (v) Ray and Dagmar Dolby, as Trustees of the Ray Dolby 2011 Trust B dated December 14, 2011 (collectively, the “Dolby Trusts”) adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

The trading plans were established as part of the Dolby Trusts’ investment strategies for asset diversification and liquidity. The trading plans were adopted during an “open window” in accordance with guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as permitted by the Company’s insider trading policy.

A total of up to 5.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (or approximately 10.3% of Ray Dolby’s direct and indirect holdings as of May 29, 2012) could be sold under the Dolby Trusts’ trading plans. Sales under the trading plans may commence in August 2012, are based upon pre-established stock price thresholds, are subject to daily volume limits and will expire once all of the shares have been sold or in August 2013, whichever is earlier. Actual sale transactions will be disclosed publicly through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required.

Rule 10b5-1 allows persons who may be considered insiders to adopt pre-arranged written plans for trading specified amounts of stock. A plan establishes predetermined trading parameters that, among other things, do not permit the person adopting the plan to exercise subsequent influence over how, when or whether to effect trades. Once a plan has been properly adopted, trades may be executed pursuant to the terms of the plan at times when the person would otherwise be restricted from trading. Trading plans are designed to allow persons to sell shares in an orderly fashion for asset diversification, liquidity, tax planning and other purposes when they might otherwise be restricted from doing so due to material, non-public information that they might posses at the time of the sale.

The Company does not undertake any obligation to report Rule 10b5-1 trading plans that may be adopted by any of its officers, directors or stockholders in the future, or to report any modifications or terminations of any publicly announced plan, except to the extent required by law.
