Phoenix Technologies Says Glass Lewis Recommends Investors Vote For Phoenix's Director Nominees

MILPITAS, Calif., Feb 06, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:PTEC), the global leader in core systems firmware, said today that Glass Lewis, a widely-respected independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended to investors that they support Phoenix Technologies' current Board by voting in favor of David Dury and Taher Elgamel, Phoenix's nominees for director. Glass Lewis recommended that investors execute their BLUE proxy card. Glass Lewis further recommended that shareholders not vote the white proxy card for the nominees of the Ramius Group.

"We are very pleased with the Glass Lewis report," said Woody Hobbs, CEO. "This highly regarded independent expert has endorsed the actions taken by the Company's Board and management. Glass Lewis shares our strongly held view that the election of Ramius Group's nominees could be detrimental to shareholders."

Mr. Hobbs also stated, "The Phoenix Board of Directors encourages all shareholders to vote their Blue proxy in favor of the Board's nominees. Given that the Annual Meeting is to be held on February 14, we are asking shareholders to vote their Blue proxy cards as soon as possible, to make sure their vote is counted."

Beneficial owners (shares held through a brokerage firm or custodian bank) may choose to call 1-800-454-8683 or visit www.proxyvote.com to vote. If voting electronically, you would need to enter the 12 digit Control Number located on the right hand side of the BLUE voting form provided by your broker or bank. Registered or record holders are required to mail in their BLUE cards. If you need assistance voting your shares, please call Morrow & Co. at 1-800-662-5200.
