Black Box Corporation (the “Company”) has been notified that a shareholder
derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Western District of
Pennsylvania on November 16, 2006 naming the Company as nominal defendant and also naming as
defendants current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former
officers of the Company (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaint alleges purported
violations of state and federal law in connection with certain stock option grant practices from
April 1995 to October 2002. The complaint seeks monetary damages in unspecified amounts, equitable
and injunctive relief, including the rescission and imposition of a trust over certain of the
Defendants’ stock options and disgorgement of proceeds derived therefrom, expenses and costs of the
action and other relief as the Court deems just and proper. The Company and its directors intend
to review the allegations and respond appropriately.
The Company does not intend to file further current reports on Form 8-K describing additional
lawsuits, if any, which are based on allegations substantially similar to those contained in the
complaint described above.
