"E" Removed From Silicon Image's Trading Symbol SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIMG), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, announced today that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Hearings Department notified the Company on June 8, 2005 that its trading symbol will change from "SIMGE" to "SIMG" effective with the open of business on June 10, 2005. The Hearings Department had previously notified the Company that an "E" was added to its trading symbol due to the alleged incomplete filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The removal of the "E" from the Company's symbol evidences the fact that the NASDAQ Staff has concluded that the Company's Form 10-K as previously amended is complete and the Company meets NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) filing requirements. As previously announced, the Hearings Department notified the Company that it was not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 4350 (c)(1) and 4350(d)(2) requiring that a majority of the Board be comprised of independent directors and that the Audit Committee be comprised of three independent directors, including at least one director with requisite financial sophistication. Subsequent to that notification and as previously announced, Silicon Image has recently appointed Masood Jabbar and Peter Hanelt to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee, bringing the total number of directors to six and Audit Committee members to three. Following the annual meeting of stockholders on June 15, 2005, a majority of the Company's Board of Directors will be comprised of independent directors as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1). In addition, as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2), the Audit Committee is currently comprised of three independent directors, and each of Mr. Jabbar and Mr. Hanelt satisfies the financial sophistication requirement. On June 8, 2005, the Hearings Department notified the Company that the NASDAQ staff has concluded that the Company has regained compliance with the Audit Committee requirements, and the NASDAQ Staff further acknowledges the Company will be in compliance with the majority independent director requirement on June 15, 2005 when the Annual Meeting occurs. The Hearings Department has not yet advised the Company that its listing review of the Company is complete.
