On September 21, 2006, Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was served with a
complaint in a putative class action lawsuit filed on June 23, 2006 in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of its current and
former officers and directors, purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased shares of the
common stock of the Company between October 28, 2004 and March 1, 2006. The complaint purports to
assert claims against all defendants for violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and against the individual defendants for violations of
Section 20(b) of the Exchange Act; focuses on the Company’s March 1, 2006 announcement of the
restatement of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for
the four quarters of 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005; and seeks unspecified damages. The
Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
Additionally, the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara approved the
final settlement of the derivative litigation entitled In re Terayon Communication Systems, Inc.
Derivative Litigation (Case No. CV 807650). In connection with the settlement, the Company paid
$950,000 in attorney’s fees and expenses to the derivative plaintiffs’ counsel and agreed to adopt
certain corporate governance practices.
