Exhibit 99.1
Pixelplus Announces Receipt of Equity Deficiency Notification Letter from Nasdaq
Press Release
SEOUL, South Korea, November 10, 2008 — Pixelplus Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PXPL), a fabless semiconductor company in Korea that designs, develops, and markets CMOS image sensors for various consumer electronics applications, today announced that the Company received an equity deficiency notification letter from Nasdaq on November 5, 2008 stating that the Company is failing to comply with Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(B), which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.
The Company intends to furnish Nasdaq with a plan that will entail specific measures to achieve and sustain compliance with the relevant Marketplace Rule for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market on or before November 19, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will find such plan sufficient, and it may determine that the Company’s plan to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements will be considered insufficient. If Nasdaq determines that the Company’s plan to achieve compliance is not acceptable, the Company may be required to delist its American Depositary Shares.
