Zoran Corporation Receives NASDAQ Notice Regarding Delayed Filing of Form 10-Q

Company Requested Extension and Awaiting Decision from Nasdaq Hearing Panel

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - November 20, 2006 - Zoran Corporation (Nasdaq: ZRAN) announced that on November 15, 2006 it received an additional Staff Determination from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not timely file its report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 and, therefore, that its common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

As previously announced, Zoran has delayed filing its Form 10 Q report pending the completion of a review of its historical stock option practices being conducted by a special committee of its Board of Directors. The Company plans to file its Form 10 Q report as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the review.

As previously disclosed, Zoran also received a written Staff Determination notice because it did not timely file its Form 10-Q report for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 (the “Original Determination”).

In response to the Original Determination, Zoran requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which was subsequently held on September 27, 2006. At the hearing, Zoran requested that its common stock continue to be listed pending completion of the special committee’s review. The hearing panel’s decision remains pending. Zoran intends to supplement its pending request to cover the delayed filing of the third quarter 10-Q report. There can be no assurance that the panel will grant Zoran’s request for continued listing. Pending a decision by the hearing panel, Zoran’s common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq market.
