Item 5. Other Events

Nasdaq National Market Delisting

On June 4, 2002, Exabyte Corporation ("Exabyte") received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that Exabyte fails to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). As a result, Exabyte's common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National Market. Exabyte has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. Any delisting action is delayed until such time that the Panel makes determination. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant Exabyte's request for continued listing.

Previously, on March 5, 2002, Exabyte received a notification from the Nasdaq National Market System that it failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the last 30 consecutive trading days as required under Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. The notice informed Exabyte that if its common stock did not maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 over a period of 10 consecutive trading days on or before June 3, 2002, it would be subject to delisting.

Additional information related to the Nasdaq Staff Determination is provided in a press release attached as an exhibit.
