(Corrects to say "audio technology company" not "audio equipment maker" in headline and first paragraph)

(Reuters) - Patent licensing company Tessera Technologies Inc said on Tuesday that it would buy audio technology company DTS Inc for about $850 million in cash.

Tessera's offer of $42.50 per DTS share is a 24 percent premium to the stock's close on Monday.

The company said the deal would immediately add to its earnings per share and free cash flow.
