These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause VeriSign’s actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the uncertainty of future revenue and profitability and potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results due to such factors as increasing competition and pricing pressure from competing services offered at prices below our prices and market acceptance of our existing services, the inability of VeriSign to successfully develop and market new services, and implement price increases, and the uncertainty of whether new services as provided by VeriSign will achieve market acceptance or result in any revenues; the uncertainty of whether Project Titan will achieve its stated objectives, and the risk acquired businesses will not be integrated successfully and unanticipated costs of such integration. In addition, the risks include the risk that VeriSign may be unable to complete its restatement of financial results for the affected periods, the risk that proper accounting of the adjustments to the Company’s financial statements as finally determined by the Board, KPMG LLP and/or the SEC may differ from the accounting treatment upon which the assumptions and forward looking statements in this announcement are based; uncertainty regarding the tax treatment of any adjustments to the Company’s financial statements; uncertainty that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel will grant a favorable decision regarding a possible delisting of the Company’s common stock, and, if an unfavorable decision is rendered, VeriSign’s common stock will no longer continue to remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market; the risk that the matters described in this press release could divert management’s attention from operations; and the fact that expenses arising from the independent review and SEC inquiry, the restatement, related litigation and other associated activities are expected to be significant. On January 19, 2007, the Company received written notification from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”) had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the conditions that the Company file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and any required restatements, by February 12, 2007. On February 7, 2007, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearings Review Council (“Listing Council”) notified the Company that, at the Company’s request, it had called the Panel’s January 19, 2007 decision for review and has stayed any future determinations to suspend the Company’s securities from trading until the review process has been completed. The Listing Council’s decision to stay any future determinations to suspend the Company’s securities from trading until the review process has been completed also applies to the Company’s failure to timely file its 2006 10-K. If the Listing Council determines it is appropriate, it may grant the Company additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement, until the earlier of 60 days from the date of its decision or 180 days from the date of the Panel’s decision. The Listing Council has not issued a decision in this matter as of the date of this disclosure. More information about potential factors that could affect the company’s business and financial results is included in VeriSign’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. VeriSign undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this press release.

The Company has obtained an extension of time from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel up to and including February 12, 2007 to file its Form 10-Q for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the third and fourth quarters of 2006. If the Company is unable to file its quarterly reports by that date, it intends to seek an additional extension of time from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearings Review Counsel.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements which include those regarding the possibility that the stock option review could require us to change our accounting treatment of stock options granted in prior periods and the anticipated timing for VeriSign’s filing of its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2006. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause VeriSign’s actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements. In particular, VeriSign may be required to make adjustments to its unaudited preliminary second quarter results, as well to its financial results previously reported for prior periods, as a result of its ongoing investigation into its stock option grant practices. Those adjustments may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for those periods. More information about potential factors that could affect the company’s business and financial results is included in VeriSign’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
