EX-99.1 3 pressrlse.txt PRESS RELEASE MULTILINK EXECUTIVES ADOPT 10b5-1 TRADING PLANS Somerset, New Jersey-(Business Wire)--August 16, 2001--Multilink Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: MLTC) today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, President and Co-Chairman, Dr. Richard Nottenburg, and the other members of Multilink's executive team have each initiated a structured trading plan to sell a portion of their Multilink stockholdings commencing after the expiration of their current 180-day IPO lock-up periods. The other executives that have entered into trading plans are Dr. Jens Albers, Executive Vice President and Co-Chairman, Eric M. Pillmore, Chief Financial Officer, Craig Lewis, Senior Vice President-Sales, and Ronald Krisanda, Senior Vice President-Operations. The plans, adopted under the new SEC rule 10b5-1, are designed to avoid any real or perceived conflicts of interest that might arise from their involvement with the company, while enabling the executive officers to diversify their respective holdings. The trading plans, other than Dr. Nottenburg's, generally provide for monthly sales subject to specified volume limits and minimum price requirements. These plans will commence in December 2001, following the expiration of lock-up agreements between the executives and the underwriters in Multilink's recent initial public offering. Dr. Nottenburg has been a shareholder and founder of Multilink since 1994. Upon commencement of his plan in January 2002, Dr. Nottenburg will hold or have options to purchase approximately 13.9 million shares of Multilink common stock. Dr. Nottenburg's trading plan will result in him selling approximately 9% of such shares in 2002, including vested and unvested options. Dr. Nottenburg's plan provides 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. The plan has no termination date. The sales plans allow Multilink's executives to monetize and diversify a portion of their equity holdings. Sales under the plans will be effected in a systematic manner with the goal of minimal market impact and compliance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission last year.
