RIM Considering Alternatives as a Result of Court Order Obtained by Certicom

Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion Limited (“RIM”) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has issued an order enjoining the offer (the “Offer”) by RIM’s wholly-owned subsidiary for all of the common shares of Certicom Corp. (“Certicom”) (TSX: CIC) at a price of Cdn$1.50 per common share.

RIM continues to be disappointed by the actions of Certicom’s directors in pursuing court proceedings. As a result of the court order, Certicom shareholders will not be able to accept the Offer, and if another offer materializes for Certicom, RIM cannot, without Certicom’s prior written consent, participate in an auction for Certicom. RIM believes this could hinder the value maximization process undertaken by Certicom.

RIM is reviewing the court’s reasons for decision and is considering any alternatives available to it as a result of the court order, including a possible appeal.
