MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002

Rimage Corporation (Nasdaq:RIMG) today announced that the U.S. government has completed the sale of approximately 550,000 Rimage shares to third parties that were forfeited by George E.

Rimage did not acquire any of the forfeited stock.

Bernard P. Aldrich, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are pleased that these large blocks of Rimage shares, which have been overhanging the market for some time, have been sold in an orderly manner. Due to significant interest in these shares by investors, it was not necessary for Rimage to purchase any part of these blocks, enabling us to use our cash reserves for supporting business opportunities."
