Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is an email communication, dated August 26, 2009, from the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to the worldwide employees of the Company announcing, among other things, that at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on August 18, 2009 the Company’s shareholders voted to approve the Company’s proposal to implement the exchange offer.

The Company has not initiated the exchange offer. Even though shareholders’ approval has been obtained, the Company may still decide to not implement the exchange offer or to delay its implementation. If the exchange offer is commenced, the Company will provide eligible employees with written materials explaining the full terms and conditions of the program in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and will also file these materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

WHEN THESE MATERIALS BECOME AVAILABLE, EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXCHANGE OFFER SHOULD READ THEM CAREFULLY, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

Once the materials discussed above are filed with the SEC, they will be available free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and by contacting the Company at: RadiSys Corporation, 5445 NE Dawson Creek Drive, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124, Attention: Investor Relations or by calling (503) 615-7797.
