NASDAQ Panel Grants Black Box Corporation's Request for Continued Listing

Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX) today reported that a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel”) has granted the Company’s request for continued listing of the Company’s securities on The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company’s continued listing is subject to certain conditions, including: (1) on or before June 20, 2007, the Company must file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 30, 2006, as well as any required restatements; and (2) the Company must provide NASDAQ with additional information regarding the Company’s independent review of its historical stock option practices and related accounting. At the present time, the Company expects to be able to comply with the Panel’s conditions for continued listing of the Company’s securities. 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. 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.
