MADGE NETWORKS N.V. ANNOUNCES

DELISTING FROM NASDAQ

Amsterdam, The Netherlands (April 7, 2003)—Madge Networks N.V. (NASDAQ: MADGF), a global supplier of advanced wired and wireless networking product solutions, today announced that it has received notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap market at the start of trading on Wednesday April 9, 2003.

The notification states that the market value of the Company’s listed securities have been below US$35 million for more than 10 consecutive trading days and therefore the Company has failed to comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B)(ii), despite the 30 calendar days given by the Nasdaq on February 21, 2003 to regain compliance.

The notification also states that there is an additional basis for delisting the Company, as it has failed to comply with MarketPlace Rule 4310(c)(13) by not paying certain fees due to the Nasdaq in respect of its listing.
