IOMEGA CEO BRUCE ALBERTSON TO BE HONORED AS BOOMER ESIASON FOUNDATION 2001 MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

ROY, Utah, March 7, 2001 - The Boomer Esiason Foundation today announced that Bruce Albertson, president and chief executive officer of Utah-based Iomega Corporation, has been named as the Foundation's 2001 Most Valuable Player.

The Most Valuable Player Award recognizes outstanding individual contributions to the Foundation. The Foundation was created in 1993 by former professional football star Boomer Esiason and is dedicated to providing financial support for research aimed at finding a cure for cystic fibrosis, heightening education and awareness of cystic fibrosis, and providing a better quality of life for those affected by cystic fibrosis.

"An MVP is someone whose individual contribution is vital to the overall success of the team. Bruce's leadership and dedication ultimately benefit those afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis, and that's why he is our most valuable player," said Boomer Esiason, founder of the Boomer Esiason Foundation.

Iomega has committed $500,000 to the Boomer Esiason Foundation through donations, product sales, promotions and other contributions.

"I applaud the Foundation for its ongoing effort on behalf of those affected by Cystic Fibrosis," said Albertson. "I'm proud of Iomega employees and our customers for supporting this cause, and I know that every donation helps improve the quality of life for children afflicted by this disease."

Albertson will be honored at the Eighth Annual Booming Celebration, to be held this Saturday, March 10, 2001 in New York City.

In addition to supporting the Boomer Esiason Foundation, charitable efforts by Iomega and its employees in 2000 included donations to Weber State University and assistance with medical expenses for a former Olympic gymnast hopeful paralyzed while practicing. In addition to contributions to the United Way and Toys for Tots programs, Iomega donated computer hardware to Weber County public schools and contributed toward better school buses in Roy City and services for disabled children in Weber County schools. Iomega is the primary sponsor of the Weber County Boy's and Girl's Club located on the Iomega corporate campus.
