SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tessera Technologies, Inc. (NAS: TSRA) (the "Company" or "Tessera") announced today that FLIR Systems, Inc. ("FLIR") has acquired a significant portion of the assets of Tessera's Micro-Optics business based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Total consideration paid by FLIR was approximately $15 million.

"I would like to thank the Micro-Optics employees for their contributions and efforts and believe this transaction is the right step forward for the future of that business."
Discontinued Operations
