ZVUE Corporation

ZVUE Corporation (NASDAQ:ZVUE), a global digital entertainment company, today announced that it has received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) regarding the Companys noncompliance with certain Marketplace Rules.

In September 2008, ZVUE Corporation (the Company) received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) reminding the Company that all NASDAQ issuers are required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders no later than one year after the end of the issuers fiscal year-end. Accordingly, the Company prepared, and on October 29, 2008 filed, a preliminary proxy statement for an annual stockholders meeting to be held on December 31, 2008. On November 28, 2008, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) sent the Company their comments on the preliminary proxy statement, and the Company responded to such comments and filed Amendment No. 1 to such preliminary proxy statement on December 3, 2008. On December 22, 2008, the SEC staff sent the Company further comments, and the Company responded to such comments and filed Amendment No. 2 to its preliminary proxy statement on December 23, 2008. As of today, the Company continues to await clearance to mail from the SEC.

On January 2, 2009, the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ notifying the Company that it is in noncompliance with Marketplace Rules 4350(e) and 4350(g) as a result of the Companys failure to hold an annual shareholder meeting within one year after its December 31, 2007 fiscal year end. The NASDAQ further notified the Company that the NASDAQs Staff has determined to delist the Companys securities from the NASDAQ and that, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination on or before January 9, 2009, trading of the Companys securities will be suspended at the opening of business on January 13, 2009.

Since the Company was delayed from mailing its proxy statement in time to hold its annual meeting on December 31, 2008, as initially scheduled, rules and regulations of the SEC now require that the Companys proxy statement be accompanied or preceded by an annual report that includes audited financial statements as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2008. Therefore, the Company will not be able, even belatedly, to regain compliance with the NASDAQs annual meeting requirement until after its 2008 audit is completed. Accordingly, the Company expects to be delisted from the NASDAQ, unless the Company successfully appeals. There can be no assurance that the Company will seek an appeal, that any such appeal will be successful in extending the deadline for the Company to hold its annual meeting or that the Company will be able to complete its 2008 audit, issue its annual report and hold its annual meeting within any timeframe that may be afforded to the Company as a result of any successful appeal.

The Company may seek an appeal of the NASDAQs determination to delist the Companys securities. Otherwise, the Company plans to identify a market maker to apply for the registration and quotation of the Companys securities on the OTC Bulletin Board or other over-the-counter market. However, there can be no assurance that any such efforts will be successful.
