    TOKYO -- December 2, 2013

    Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it has entered into an
    agreement at December 2 with OCZ Technology Group, Inc. to acquire
    substantially all the assets of OCZ Technology’s SSD business. The transaction
    will be completed through a sale and auction process pursuant to Section 363
    of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and subject to approval by the bankruptcy court
    supervising OCZ Technology’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy. If Toshiba is selected as
    the successful bidder, subject to court and other regulatory approvals, the
    company expects to complete the acquisition in January 2014.

    “We are excited to participate in this opportunity. If our bid is successful,
    the combination of our leading NAND technology with OCZ’s SSD expertise will
    allow us to further strengthen Toshiba’s SSD business,” said Mr. Seiichi Mori,
    Vice President of Toshiba’s Semiconductor and Storage Company and Corporate
    Vice President of Toshiba. “We value OCZ’s SSD business and technology in both
    the consumer and enterprise markets, and we are confident that it will
    reinforce our capabilities and help us to secure leadership in the SSD
    market.”

    “OCZ looks forward to becoming part of Toshiba, a world leader in flash memory
    and storage solutions,” explained Ralph Schmitt CEO of OCZ Technology.
    “Toshiba brings the necessary capital and NAND flash supply and expertise,
    which together with our leading edge solid state drive technology will enable
    us to provide client and enterprise customers with a very compelling total
    storage solution. This combination will make for an unstoppable force in the
    highly competitive SSD market.”

    The banckruptcy court has not settled anything yet. Only if the Toshiba deal is approved will OCZ still be in existence. Nothing has come out in the press since these last press releases from OCZ and Toshiba.
