EXHIBIT INDEX -1- EX-99.1 3 dex991.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED 2/25/02 Exhibit 99.1 BUSINESS UPDATE **For Immediate Release** Multilink's Chief Executive Officer Terminates 10b5-1 Trading Plan Somerset, New Jersey U.S.A. - February 25, 2002 - Multilink Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: MLTC) today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, President and Co-Chairman, Dr. Richard Nottenburg has terminated his structured trading plan that was adopted to sell a portion of his Multilink stockholdings. The plan, adopted under SEC rule 10b5-1, will terminate effective immediately. Dr. Nottenburg's decision to terminate the plan was predicated upon the recent decline in the Company's stock price. Dr. Nottenburg stated, "The trading plan was adopted to provide a level of liquidity and diversification. Nevertheless, I believe that the value of Multilink's stock is not reflected in its market price, especially in light of our company's valuable intellectual property, diverse product offering and continued design wins among an expanding customer base. I believe in our company and its long term potential. Consequently, I am terminating my plan during a permitted trading window as a sign of my confidence in Multilink, its people and my strong belief in the long-term success of our company." Dr. Nottenburg adopted his plan in August 2001 and automatic trading under the plan commenced in January 2002. Dr. Nottenburg's plan provided for sales of 100,000 shares during each month beginning in January 2002, on the open market and at prevailing market prices without minimum price requirements. Dr. Nottenburg has been a shareholder and founder of Multilink since 1994 and holds or has options to purchase approximately 13.8 million shares of Multilink common stock.
