Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements, including our expectation that we will appoint a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer in early 2010. These forward-looking statements are subject to material risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These material risks and uncertainties include: the risk that we may be unable to identify and hire a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer by early 2010 or that we may otherwise be unable to effect a smooth transition of the CEO position; the risk that the mobile gaming and social networking gaming markets are not growing at the rate that we anticipate or that we will be unable to capitalize on any such growth; the risk that our expense control initiatives will be insufficient to enable us to achieve positive cash flow from operations for the full fiscal year and beyond; the risk that we may have insufficient working capital to effectively execute our business strategy, including exploiting next-generation and social networking platforms while continuing to address our traditional carrier-based business, and that, even if we do execute our business strategy, we may not derive the revenues that we expect; the risk that we may fall out of compliance with the financial and other covenants in our credit facility; the risk that we may lose a key intellectual property license or key carrier distribution agreement; the risk that growth of next-generation handsets and advanced networks does not grow as significantly as we anticipate; the risk that our development expenses for games for next-generation handsets and social networking platforms are greater than we anticipate; the risk that our recently and newly launched games are less popular than anticipated; the risk that changes in wireless carrier plans with their customers may adversely impact sales of our games; the risk that sales of our original intellectual property titles will not continue to favorably impact product mix; the risk that our newly released games will be of a quality less than desired by reviewers and consumers; the risk that mobile games and social networking gaming markets are smaller than anticipated; and other risks detailed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2009. You can locate this Form 10-Q through our website at http://www.glu.com/corp/Pages.investors.
