NEI ANNOUNCES STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Board of Directors Authorizes Resumption of Plan Enacted in June of 2008;

Up to $2 Million Authorized for Repurchase

CANTON, Mass., June 13, 2011 — NEI (Nasdaq: NEI), a leading provider of server-based application platforms, appliances, and lifecycle support services for software developers and OEMs worldwide, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $2 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time on the open market or in non-solicited privately negotiated transactions.  This authorization is the continuation of a repurchase plan initially announced on June 12, 2008.  The plan does not obligate NEI to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and can be suspended at any time at the Company’s sole discretion.
