GigaMedia to Report Third-Quarter 2010

Financial Results on January 26

Company Deconsolidating its

China Online Games Business

HONG KONG, January 13, 2011 — GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) announced today that it will report its third-quarter 2010 financial results on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 before the market opens.

The company’s third-quarter consolidated financial results will reflect the deconsolidation of GigaMedia’s China business due to a dispute with its former China head, which prevented GigaMedia from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the financial results of its online games business in the PRC in GigaMedia’s consolidated financial statements. This deconsolidation has led to a delay in reporting third-quarter 2010 financial results. Significant matters related to GigaMedia’s deconsolidation of its China business are detailed in Forms 6-K dated November 15 and 26, 2010, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investor Conference Call

Management will hold an investor webcast on January 26, 2011 at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, which is 8:30 p.m. Hong Kong Time on January 26, 2011, to discuss GigaMedia’s third-quarter 2010 performance. A link to the live and archived webcast will be available at www.gigamedia.com.
