(NASDAQ:PLXT): -- Second Quarter Revenues Expected to Be Between $19.2 Million and $19.3 Million -- Torres to Continue in Transition Role PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLXT) today announced that Rafael Torres, chief financial officer, has decided to leave the Company to become the chief financial officer of a larger public technology company outside the interconnect-silicon chip market. Torres has been with PLX for more than seven years and has served the Company as its chief financial officer for nearly the past six years. Torres will continue to work with the Company to ensure a smooth transition, and will participate in the Company's second-quarter fiscal-year 2006 earnings conference call scheduled for July 18, 2006. Michael Salameh, chief executive officer, will become acting chief financial officer effective July 19, 2006 until a permanent chief financial officer is identified. The Company has launched a search to identify a CFO that can help scale the Company as it continues to execute its growth strategy. "During his tenure at PLX, Rafael has made significant contributions to the Company," said Salameh. "Most notably, he has built a highly competent and professional finance organization, and has successfully led us through a myriad of new financial reporting requirements. I will miss working with Rafael, but I am happy for him that he has found an exciting career-growth opportunity." "This has been a difficult professional decision for me," said Torres. "However, I know that I am leaving the Company at a time when it continues to post strong revenue and earnings growth, and has a strong cash position and no debt. With its industry-leading product offerings and talented management team, PLX has the ability to continue to execute a high-growth strategy." The Company also said that preliminarily it expects its revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2006 to be between $19.2 million and $19.3 million. Final revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2006 are subject to change based on the Company's customary quarterly close and audit procedures. The Company's second-quarter fiscal-year 2006 earnings conference call is scheduled for July 18, 2006 at 2:00 p.m., PST. About PLX PLX Technology, Inc.
