Vicor Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to timely file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 without unreasonable effort or expense. The primary reason for the delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K is because the Company is currently evaluating the financial statement disclosure requirements under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X and the separate company financial statement requirements under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X related to Great Wall Semiconductor Corporation (“GWS”), its related-party equity method investee.
