Phoenix Technologies Says Glass Lewis Recommends Investors Vote For Phoenixs Director
Nominees
Glass Lewis Recommends Phoenix Shareholders Vote the Blue Proxy to Support Current Board;
Recommends Investors Do Not Vote For the Ramius Group
MILPITAS, CA: February 06, 2007 Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PTEC), the global leader
in core systems firmware, said today that Glass Lewis, a widely-respected independent proxy
advisory firm, has recommended to investors that they support Phoenix Technologies current Board
by voting in favor of David Dury and Taher Elgamel, Phoenixs nominees for director. Glass Lewis
recommended that investors execute their BLUE proxy card. Glass Lewis further recommended that
shareholders not vote the white proxy card for the nominees of the Ramius Group.
We are very pleased with the Glass Lewis report, said Woody Hobbs, CEO. This highly
regarded independent expert has endorsed the actions taken by the Companys Board and management.
Glass Lewis shares our strongly held view that the election of Ramius Groups nominees could be
detrimental to shareholders.
Mr. Hobbs also stated, The Phoenix Board of Directors encourages all shareholders to vote
their Blue proxy in favor of the Boards nominees. Given that the Annual Meeting is to be held on
February 14, we are asking shareholders to vote their Blue proxy cards as soon as possible, to make
sure their vote is counted.
Beneficial owners (shares held through a brokerage firm or custodian bank) may choose to call
1-800-454-8683 or visit www.proxyvote.com to vote. If voting electronically, you would need to
enter the 12 digit Control Number located on the right hand side of the BLUE voting form provided
by your broker or bank. Registered or record holders are required to mail in their BLUE cards. If
you need assistance voting your shares, please call Morrow & Co. at 1-800-662-5200.
