Provides Update on Management-Initiated, Voluntary Review of Historical Stock Option
Grants</I> </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><I>Waterloo, Ontario</I> &#150;
Following the announcement of its preliminary second quarter results on September 28,
2006, Research In Motion Limited (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) announced today that the
filing of its interim financial statements for the three months ended September 2, 2006
will be delayed pending completion of its management-initiated, voluntary review of
historical stock option grants. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As previously announced on September
28, 2006, the Audit Committee of RIM&#146;s Board of Directors, comprised solely of
independent directors, is completing a management-initiated, voluntary review of
RIM&#146;s historical option granting practices. While the Audit Committee has not
completed its review, it had made a preliminary determination that GAAP accounting errors
were made around the administration of certain historical stock options granted from
fiscal 1998 to present, and made a preliminary determination that a restatement of
RIM&#146;s historical financial statements will be required to reflect this. As a result,
management will delay the filing of RIM&#146;s second quarter financial statements, which
are due to be filed by October 17, 2006, in order for the Audit Committee to complete its
review and to effect the restatement. RIM will file the financial statements as soon as
practicable. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In connection with the ongoing
review, and subsequent to September 28, 2006, the Company identified an additional
technical error under U.S. GAAP that will likely require a further adjustment to its
historical financial statements. This error stems from a difference in the historical
application of U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP accounting rules. While the Company is unable
to specify the additional adjustment resulting from this error as the review is ongoing,
the Company does not currently anticipate a material adjustment to the preliminary second
quarter operating results reported on September 28, 2006 or to current or future financial
years&#146; operating results. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>This technical error relates to a
&#147;net settlement&#148; feature that existed in RIM&#146;s stock option plan prior to
February 2002. Under this feature, instead of paying the exercise price in cash, the
employee could apply to receive a lesser number of RIM common shares equal in value to the
difference between the grant price and market price at the time of exercise multiplied by
the number of options exercised. RIM has a broadly based stock option plan and this
feature was designed to facilitate the exercise of stock options by employees who lacked
the financial resources to fund the exercise price. This specific feature was eliminated
from RIM&#146;s stock option plan effective February 2002 and only a small fraction of the
total options granted prior to February 2002 were exercised using this feature. Prior to
2002, there were no accounting implications relating to this feature under Canadian GAAP,
which RIM used as its primary GAAP at that time. However, in connection with its current
internal review, RIM has been advised that it was required under U.S. GAAP to presume that
all employees receiving options under a plan containing this feature would exercise their
stock options in this manner regardless of the fact that only a small percentage of its
employees actually used this feature. As a result, variable accounting was required under
U.S. GAAP for all stock options granted prior to February, 2002. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Variable accounting requires RIM to
recognize a non-cash compensation expense for all stock options, which includes (1) all
realized gains on exercise of stock options, and (2) an allocation of all unrealized gains
for unexercised stock options based on the stock&#146;s trading price at each reporting
period. The elimination of this feature in February, 2002 limits the impact of variable
accounting for subsequent periods, but given the historical volatility of RIM&#146;s share
price over these periods, variable accounting will result in significant fluctuations in
non-cash compensation charges from year to year. The net effect of the variable accounting
will be to substantially increase the amount of RIM&#146;s previously estimated non-cash
charges associated with past option grants and thereby reduce the amount of the
Company&#146;s previously reported U.S. GAAP earnings over the periods to be restated. As
noted above, the Company does not currently anticipate a material adjustment to its
preliminary second quarter operating results or current or future financial years&#146;
operating results. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In accordance with applicable
Canadian securities laws, RIM will request that the Canadian securities regulators issue a
&#147;Management and Insider Cease Trade Order&#148; that prohibits trading in RIM&#146;s
securities by its senior officers, directors and other insiders, who are already subject
to a Company-initiated blackout, until the required financial statements are filed.
Pending the filing of the financial statements, RIM intends to satisfy the alternative
information guidelines recommended by OSC Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities
Administrators&#146; Staff Notice 57-301 by issuing a news release every two weeks to
update the shareholders on the filing delay. RIM is also required to disclose that if the
second quarter financial statements and MD&amp;A are not filed by December 17, 2006,
Canadian securities regulators may impose an issuer cease trade order. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>This news release contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws relating to RIM&#146;s ongoing
management-initiated voluntary review of its historical option granting practices,
including statements regarding preliminary determinations and expectations regarding the
financial impact of the review on RIM&#146;s historical, current and future financial
statements, and its intention to provide regular updates to its shareholders. The terms

&#147;will&#148;, &#147;anticipate&#148;, &#147;intends&#148; and similar terms and
phrases are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by RIM in light of its experience,
its current assessment of matters relating to its ongoing internal review, and its
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as
well as other factors that RIM believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Many factors
could cause RIM&#146;s actual results, or future events to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
final determinations made by RIM&#146;s Audit Committee, outside advisors, auditors and
others; additional corrections that may be required based on factual findings and analysis
in the ongoing review; and legal and accounting developments regarding stock option grants
and interpretations of such guidance. Readers are cautioned to consider the
forward-looking statements in light of these risks and others relating to RIM are
discussed in greater detail in the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section of RIM&#146;s Annual
Information Form, which is included in its Annual Report on Form 40-F (copies of which
filings may be obtained at www.sedar.com or www.sec.gov). These factors should be
considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on RIM&#146;s
forward-looking statements. RIM has no intention and undertakes no obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. </FONT></P>
