On October 17, 2013, Avid Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) has granted the Company’s request to remain listed on NASDAQ, subject to the condition that the Company is current in the filing of its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission by March 14, 2014.

The Company's cash balance on September 30, 2013 was $50.2 million. The Company expects that additional cash expenditures related to the ongoing accounting evaluation through completion of the evaluation will amount to approximately $15 million to $20 million.
