MAXIM ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF ADDITIONAL NOTICE FROM NASDAQ REGARDING STOCK LISTING
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) announced that due to its failure to timely file a Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for its fiscal quarter ended December 23, 2006 as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), it received an Additional Staff Determination letter from Nasdaq on February 7, 2007 stating that this filing delinquency will serve as an additional basis for the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to consider in the context of the proceedings before the Panel. Timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC is a requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).
As previously announced, the Panel has granted the Company's request for an extension of time to file its delinquent periodic reports. Pursuant to the extension, the Company's common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq subject to the timely provision to Nasdaq of certain information concerning the stock option review and filing of the delinquent periodic reports, and any required restatements, by March 26, 2007. The Company may seek an additional extension of time in the event the Company is not able to meet the March 26, 2007 deadline.
The Company intends to file its Forms 10-K and 10-Q's and restatements to past financial statements and to become current in its filings with the SEC as soon as practicable.

The forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company's intention to file its Form 10-K and 10-Q's, and restatements to past financial statements and to become current in its filings with the SEC as soon as practicable. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the fact that the SEC inquiry relating to the Company's historical stock option grants and practices is ongoing, that Maxim is unable to predict with certainty when it may be able to file any future SEC reports; uncertainty that the Company can meet the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel's March 26, 2007 deadline to be in compliance with all Nasdaq and SEC filing deadlines, and, the possibility that Maxim's common stock will no longer continue to remain listed on Nasdaq; the risk that the review undertaken by the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California relating to the Company's historical stock option grants and practices is ongoing; the risk that the matters described in this press release could divert management's attention from operations; and the fact that expenses arising from the independent stock review and inquiries made by governmental agencies, the restatement, related litigation and other associated activities are expected to be significant.
