For Immediate Release

Iomega Corporation Announces Departure of its President and Chief Executive Officer
***
Stephen N. David to Assume Role of Interim CEO

SAN DIEGO, February 3, 2006 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM) announced today that Werner T. Heid has resigned from his position as Iomega's President and Chief Executive Officer, and as a member of the Company's Board of Directors, following discussions with the Board. Stephen N. David, currently Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis.

Mr. David said, "On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Werner for his many contributions over the past four years. The transition of Iomega from its Zip® product line, as Zip reaches the end of its technology lifecycle, to new market segments and innovative products has been a very difficult management challenge, and Werner has provided leadership to guide Iomega through this restructuring and reorientation phase. We are encouraged with the recent progress that Werner and his team have made toward improved financial results, as reflected in our fourth quarter 2005 results. However, the Board feels that, at this stage, Iomega must refocus on its future strategy, with the key need for a strengthened business plan that can better enable Iomega to deliver higher margin product solutions and consistent profitability."

Mr. David is currently an independent consultant focused on providing strategic planning services to a variety of clients in the consumer products industry. He retired from Procter & Gamble, a multi-national manufacturer of family, personal and household care products, in January 2005, following a career that spanned more than thirty-four years. From July 2000 until his retirement from P&G, he held the position of Chief Information Officer and Business-to-Business Officer. In 1989, he served as General Manager (Arabian Peninsula) and in 1986, as Country Manager, P&G Hellas (Greece). In 1982, as Senior Project Manager, Country Services, Mr. David led the deployment of the first personal computers for Procter & Gamble. Mr. David is a member of several advisory boards and commissions.
