Iomaga Announces Resignation of its Chief Financial Officer
and Appointment of Interim Chief Financial Officer
SAN DIEGO,
October 21, 2005 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM) today announced that Thomas Liguori has resigned from his position as chief financial officer, effective November 11, 2005. Mr. Liguori has, for personal reasons, decided to relocate out of the State of California, and has accepted a position with a company that does not compete with Iomega.
"I want to thank Tom for his contributions to Iomega and wish him the best of luck in his new position," said Werner T. Heid, president and CEO of Iomega Corporation. "It is important to note that Tom's resignation is not related to any disagreement with, or inaccuracy or omission in, the company's accounting systems or financial reporting."
Iomega also announced that Thomas D. Kampfer, currently executive vice president and secretary, has been named interim chief financial officer effective November 11, 2005. Mr. Kampfer joined Iomega in July 2001 as vice president, general counsel and secretary. He served as Iomega's general counsel from July 2001 to October 2005. In addition to his legal responsibilities, Mr. Kampfer has held a variety of other executive positions at Iomega, including interim chief financial officer, from June 2004 to February 2005; and executive vice president, business solutions from November 2004 to October 2005.
"I have high confidence in Tom Kampfer's ability to lead the finance team on an interim basis, as he has strong knowledge of Iomega's business, processes, systems, and all aspects of Iomega's financial reporting and corporate governance," said Werner Heid, Iomega's president and chief executive officer.
The Company has actively begun the process to recruit a new chief financial officer.
