InFocus Announces Receipt of Unsolicited Proposal

Board Reaffirms Recommendation of Previously Announced Transaction

WILSONVILLE, Ore., Apr 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — InFocus Corporation ((INFS) today announced that it has received an unsolicited proposal with respect to a potential acquisition of InFocus. On April 13, 2009 InFocus announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Image Holdings Corporation (“IHC”), an Oregon company controlled by John Hui (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement IHC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IC Acquisition Corp. (“IC”), will make an all cash tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of InFocus stock at $0.95 per share, or approximately $39 million in total.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, InFocus has notified IHC of its determination that the unsolicited proposal constitutes a “Takeover Proposal” as defined in the Merger Agreement. InFocus has also informed IHC that InFocus intends to enter into discussions with the person who submitted the unsolicited proposal and may furnish due diligence information to that person.

There can be no assurance that any discussions with respect to the unsolicited proposal will result in a transaction being recommended by the Board of Directors of InFocus, or that any such transaction will be consummated.

Except as required by applicable law, InFocus does not intend to disclose the possible terms of any alternative transaction, or the identity of any person proposing such alternative transaction, prior to the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to such alternative transaction, if any.

At this time the Board of Directors of InFocus continues to unanimously recommend that InFocus shareholders accept and tender their shares pursuant to the tender offer described in the Merger Agreement.
