Ceradyne, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq:CRDN) will release financial results for second-quarter 2006 before the market open on Friday, August 4, 2006. The Company will also conduct a teleconference to review the results for the quarter, as well as discuss the remainder of 2006 and 2007. Ceradyne also announced today that a Special Committee of its Board of Directors is conducting a Company-initiated, voluntary review of its historical stock option grants. The Special Committee has retained independent legal counsel to assist it with its review, and is reviewing stock option grants made during the period of 1997 to the present. While the Special Committee has not completed its review, preliminary indications are that the measurement dates for accounting purposes may differ from recorded dates for certain grants made during 1997 through 2003. To the extent that an adjustment to the Company's financial results may be required, the Company believes that the estimated cumulative after-tax impact for all the years 1997 through 2005 would total less than $2 million. This would be a non-cash charge. However, depending on the results of the Special Committee's review, the actual adjustment could be more than this estimate. Any investor or interested individual can listen to the teleconference, which is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. PDT (11 a.m. EDT) on August 4. To participate in the teleconference, please call toll-free 877-869-7690 (or 706-758-0239 for international callers) approximately 10 minutes prior to the above start time.
