FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BLACK BOX CORPORATION RECEIVES ANTICIPATED NASDAQ NOTICE
REGARDING PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED DELAYED FILING OF FORM 10-Q
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, February 20, 2007 — Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX) today reported that on February 15, 2007 it received a Staff Determination Letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and, therefore, its common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market. As anticipated, the letter was issued in accordance with Nasdaq’s procedures due to the previously disclosed delayed filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for its third quarter fiscal 2007 ended December 30, 2006. The Company, in accordance with Nasdaq’s procedures, has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. Pending a decision by the Panel, the Company’s common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.
As previously announced, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, is conducting an independent review of the Company’s historical stock option grant practices and related accounting for stock option grants. As soon as practical following the completion of the Audit Committee’s review, the Company will file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 30, 2006 and any necessary restatements and amended filings.
