Microtune Announces Changes In Leadership Team

Chief Operating Officer Albert Taddiken Retires; Barry Koch Promoted to Executive Vice President

Plano, TX, June 10, 2009 – Microtune® , Inc. (NASDAQ: TUNE) today announced the resignation of Chief Operating Officer Albert (Bud) Taddiken, who plans to retire. Effective immediately, Microtune has promoted Barry F. Koch to the new position of Executive Vice President, in which he is responsible for Microtune’s broadband and automotive businesses, including overall engineering, development and marketing functions. Together, these businesses comprise one hundred per cent of Microtune’s revenue.

Taddiken and Koch will work together over the next two and one-half months to ensure a seamless transition. Mr. Taddiken will report to the President and CEO, James A. Fontaine, in an advisory role until September 1, 2009.

Taddiken, who has been with Microtune since its inception in 1996, led the team that introduced the world’s first radio frequency (RF) TV tuner on a micro-circuit. It was an outstanding engineering breakthrough that created the Company’s patented MicroTuner™ technology and products. Among other accomplishments, the innovations developed under Taddiken’s leadership made possible the miniaturization of RF signal reception, paving the way for TV anywhere on any device. Under his guidance, Microtune became the world’s leading supplier of RF silicon tuners, helping to transform it from an entrepreneurial enterprise into a global operation with more than $108 million in revenue (2008).

“Bud has leveraged our pioneering technology foundation to create not only a new industry, but to build an exciting business. He leaves behind an impressive legacy of RF innovation, customer focus and dedication, and corporate growth,” said Mr. Fontaine. “Microtune is very proud to have had Bud as one of our leaders, and I want to thank him for his significant contributions during his 13 years here. He has also built an outstanding operation. He nurtured a strong, capable team that has the talent and skills to execute against our technology vision and business strategies as we leverage future market opportunities.”

“I will miss Microtune, my long-time friends and associates at the Company, but I am looking forward to the next stage in my life where I can devote more time to personal interests and community participation,” Taddiken said. Koch, 43, is a long-time veteran of Microtune and has served as a peer to Mr. Taddiken as Co-General Manager of the Company’s broadband business. Since 2001, he has also served as the Vice President and General Manager of its automotive business and prior to that as a Vice President of systems engineering. Since 2000, Koch has also been Managing Director of Microtune’s wholly-owned German subsidiary, Microtune GmbH & Co. K.G., and he retains this position. Mr. Koch holds a B.S.E.E. degree from the University of Missouri (Rolla) and a M.S.E.E. from Purdue University. Mr. Koch’s biography is available online.

Fontaine added, “Barry is a proven leader, familiar with both our broadband and automotive electronics markets, who is able to define and execute successful strategies that address market opportunities, drive efficiency and quality, and promote innovation. Our prioritization on integrated products and solutions for our worldwide customers is driving our Company to be more international in its operation and culture. Barry is highly respected by our employees, our customers and our partners, and with his strong technical and managerial experience, he is the right person to drive the global initiatives that are key to our growth strategy.”

“We anticipate a stable transition to our new leadership under Mr. Koch as we execute on a succession plan that has been in place for some time,” Mr. Fontaine added.
