Plans
On
May 2, 2007, RadioShack Corporation (the “Company”) sent a notice to
participants in the RadioShack 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) informing them
that the 401(k) Plan would be modifying certain of the investment alternatives
in the 401(k) Plan, including removing certain investment funds from the 401(k)
Plan. The notice stated that, during a specified period of time while these
changes are implemented, participants in the 401(k) Plan would not be able
to,
among other things, access their accounts to direct or diversify their
investments or obtain a loan or a distribution from the 401(k) Plan. The notice
stated that this time period was expected to begin at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)
on June 25, 2007 and end on June 30, 2007. This period is referred to as the
“Blackout Period.”
On
May 2, 2007, the Company sent a blackout restriction notice (the “BTR Notice”)
to its directors and executive officers informing them that, because the
restrictions during the Blackout Period include restrictions on investment
changes involving the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) held in the 401(k)
Plans, they would be prohibited during the Blackout Period, pursuant to Section
306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s rules promulgated
thereunder, from purchasing and selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock
(including derivative securities pertaining to such shares) acquired in
connection with their service as a director or employment as an executive
officer.
A
copy of the BTR Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Pursuant
to
applicable regulations, directors and executive officers of the Company may
obtain, without charge, information regarding the Blackout Period, including
the
actual ending date of the Blackout Period, by contacting Steve Milton, Assistant
Corporate Secretary, RadioShack Corporation, 300 RadioShack Circle, Fort Worth,
Texas 76102, (817) 415-3700, before and during the Blackout Period, and the
Assistant Corporate Secretary, RadioShack Corporation, 300 RadioShack Circle,
Fort Worth, Texas 76102, for a period of two years thereafter.
