On December 1, 2008, Jeremy Jaech, a member of the Board of Directors of RealNetworks, Inc. (the "Company"), informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election at the Company's 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). Mr. Jaech is not standing for re-election due to his recent appointment as chief executive officer of Verdiem Corporation and his desire to focus on his new responsibilities as Verdiem's CEO and not due to any disagreement with the Company. Mr. Jaech, who has served as a director since 2002, will continue to serve as a director and a member of the Compensation, Audit and Strategic Transactions Committees of the Board of Directors until the expiration of his term at the Annual Meeting.
