MIPS Technologies Receives Additional Notice from NASDAQ

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 15, 2007 – MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIPS), today announced that the company is in receipt of a Nasdaq Additional Staff Determination letter dated May 14, 2007, advising the company that it is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). 

The notice was issued in accordance with standard Nasdaq procedures due to the delayed filing of the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This follows similar letters received on February 15, 2007, November 14, 2006 and September 19, 2006 that the company was not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing due to the delayed filing of the company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 and the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The company plans to present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) in writing no later than May 21, 2007.

Previously, on March 14, 2007, the company reported that Nasdaq will continue the listing of the company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market pending a review by the Listing Council of the February 2, 2007 decision by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) that required the company to file the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 by March 19 and March 26, 2007, respectively.  The Listing Council also determined to stay the Panel’s February 2, decision.  On May 4, 2007, the company submitted a status report on the investigation and restatement progress to the Listing Council to consider in their review.   

The company is working diligently to complete all necessary filings and thereby demonstrate compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.  While the company’s common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq pending the conclusion of the Listing Council’s review, there can be no assurance that the Listing Council will determine that the company should remain listed on Nasdaq following the completion of its review.
