TELEVIDEO, INC. ANNOUNCES
TERMINATION OF GOING-PRIVATE TRANSACTION

San Jose, CA – August 29, 2003 – TeleVideo, Inc. (OTC BB:TELV.OB), a developer and manufacturer of thin client hardware and software, reported today that the Board of Directors of TeleVideo has terminated its previously announced going-private transaction and merger agreement with Homebound Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation controlled by Dr. K. Philip Hwang (TeleVideo’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and majority stockholder). Under the terms of the merger, Homebound Acquisition, Inc. was to pay approximately $280,000 for all the outstanding shares of TeleVideo’s common stock (other than those shares beneficially owned by Dr. K. Philip Hwang and treasury shares).

Dr. Hwang said, “While the transaction is not going to be consummated, the Board of Directors feels that prospects are improving somewhat over the period since the time the agreements were negotiated. With increased revenues and the Company’s signing of two non-binding memorandums of understanding for strategic relationships with Asian electronics companies, the Board feels that the transaction is no longer in the best interest of the shareholders.”

Dr. Robert Larson, a director of TeleVideo, noted that “In spite of challenges related to the economy as a whole and sometimes difficult financial performance in recent years, we remain optimistic about TeleVideo’s future. We will continue to do our utmost to seek to maximize shareholder value by improving the TeleVideo business worldwide.”

TeleVideo will incur no extraordinary fees nor will it be obligated to make any payments to Homebound as a result of the termination of the merger agreement.
