Exhibit 99.1

GigaMedia to Seek Shareholder Approval to Effect a Reverse Stock Split to Regain Compliance for Listing on NASDAQ

TAIPEI, Taiwan, November 04, 2015 – GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) (the “Company”), an online games and computing services provider, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to seek shareholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of GigaMedia’s common stock. The reverse stock split is currently anticipated to be in a 1-for-5 ratio. The reverse stock split proposal will be submitted to shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of GigaMedia’s shareholders. An affirmative vote by shareholders will permit the Board to implement the reverse stock split.

Assuming the anticipated ratio, at the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 5 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be converted into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split affects all of the issued and outstanding common shares, stock options and other equity awards of the Company. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 55.3 million shares to approximately 11.1 million shares.

The primary purpose of the reverse stock split is to bring the Company back into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to regain compliance, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period, which will end on January 11, 2016.

Additional information will be set out in the Company’s proxy statement which will be delivered to shareholders during the week of November 23, 2015.
