Exhibit 99.1
Vimicro Announces Business Restructuring
Divests Non-Core Businesses and
Unused Assets to Improve Profitability
Beijing, China December 31, 2010
Vimicro International
Corporation (Nasdaq: VIMC) (Vimicro or the Company), a leading multimedia semiconductor and solution provider, today announced it has entered into definitive business restructuring agreements to divest certain non-core
business lines and land use rights as part of its previously announced cost control initiatives. The Company expects this divestiture of loss generating businesses and undeveloped assets to improve its operating performance and financial strength,
further enabling Vimicro to focus resources on its new growing surveillance business.
Under the terms of the agreement, Vimicro will divest
the non-core businesses and associated land use rights. Dr. Xiaodong (Dave) Yang, a director and the former Chief Technology Officer of the Company, will take over the divested businesses and assets. The non-core businesses include analog integrated
circuit, MP4, advanced multimedia and Bluetooth products. Based on an independent third-party valuation, Vimicro will receive $1.6 million from Vimicro Management Foundation (VMF), managed by Dr. Yang, for the transfer of these non-core
businesses. Additionally, Vimicro will receive $11.1 million from VMF for its land use rights in Jiangsu, Shenzhen and Shanghai to recover the original cash use in purchasing these rights. Vimico will hold 5% equity interest in the new non-core
business entity.
The Companys audit committee and a special independent committee, each comprised entirely of independent directors,
have approved the transactions and transactional agreements. The board of directors and its committees considered, among other things, the advice from external advisors, including third party valuation and legal counsels to assess the transactions
for the best interests of shareholders. In addition, the completion of the transactions will be subject to the necessary approvals from local governmental authorities in China.
