SAN DIEGO, March 17, 2008 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM) announced today receipt of a revised unsolicited non-binding indication of interest from EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), in which EMC indicated that it is prepared to offer to acquire the outstanding common stock of Iomega for up to $3.75 per share, assuming a total of approximately 54.8 million outstanding shares, subject to completion of due diligence.

Based on this determination and as permitted by the ExcelStor Purchase Agreement, Iomega's board of directors has authorized Iomega to furnish information to EMC and enter into discussions with it regarding its most recent proposal. Pursuant to the ExcelStor Purchase Agreement, Iomega must provide the Selling Shareholders with at least 2 business days notice prior to entering into discussions with or furnishing any information to EMC in response or with respect to the EMC acquisition proposal. Iomega provided such notice to the Selling Shareholders on March 14, 2008. - View Press Release - Visit Iomega Corporation
