FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BLACK BOX ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
PITTSBURGH,
PENNSYLVANIA, December 4, 2009 - Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX) announced today
that it has entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
regarding the previously-disclosed SEC investigation into the Company’s historical stock option
practices.
The Company has agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations in the
SEC’s complaint, by consenting to the entry of a permanent injunction against future violations of
the federal securities laws that require reporting companies to make periodic filings with the SEC,
to make and keep accurate books and records and to devise and maintain an adequate system of
internal accounting controls. The settlement does not require the Company to pay a civil penalty
or other money damages.
Subject to approval by the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania,
the settlement will conclude the SEC’s investigation.
