         RadioShack Corporation Announces that Claire Babrowski, president and chief operating officer,
will leave the company

FORT WORTH, Texas – August 18, 2006 – RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) announced today that Claire Babrowski, president and chief operating officer, plans to leave the company, effective August 31, 2006. Babrowski has been with the company since July 2005. According to Chairman and CEO Julian Day, there are no plans to fill the chief operating officer position.

“Claire is an exceptional leader who was at the helm of our company during some very challenging times,” said Day. “In addition, she has been extremely helpful to me during my period of orientation at the company. She has immense talent and is in the prime of her career, and I respect her desire to transition out of the company to pursue other interests. We thank her for her many contributions to the company. She will be missed by all.”

“It is virtually impossible for me to recognize and thank all the women and men at RadioShack who have helped make my time here so memorable. I am proud of the progress we made together and will be cheering from the sidelines as they take RadioShack to the next horizon,” said Babrowski.
