<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Waterloo, Ontario &#150; Research In
Motion Limited (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) announced today an update on the
Company&#146;s management-initiated, voluntary review of stock option grants and the
status of the filing of its restated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As disclosed by the Company on
February 16, 2007, the Company&#146;s management-initiated, voluntary review of stock
option grants is nearing completion. The Special Committee of RIM&#146;s Board of
Directors is scheduled to present its key findings, conclusions and recommendations to
RIM&#146;s Board of Directors on Friday, March 2, 2007. Following the Special
Committee&#146;s presentation to the Board and the Board&#146;s consideration thereof, the
Company anticipates disclosing a summary of the key findings, conclusions and
recommendations of the Special Committee in a press release which it currently expects
will be issued on Monday, March 5, 2007. The press release on March 5 will serve as the
Company&#146;s regular, bi-weekly status update that would have been otherwise issued on
March 2, 2007. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As previously disclosed, the Audit
Committee of RIM&#146;s Board of Directors has made a preliminary determination that a
restatement of RIM&#146;s historical financial statements will be required. The Company
does not currently anticipate a material adjustment to the preliminary second quarter
operating results reported on September 28, 2006, the preliminary operating results for
the third quarter of fiscal 2007 reported on December 21, 2006, or to current or future
financial years&#146; operating results as a result of the restatement. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company had originally
anticipated updating its filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prior to its fiscal year end of March 3,
2007. Despite best efforts, the Company has determined that additional time is required
for the Company&#146;s independent auditors and other advisors to complete the process and
for the Company to update its filings. RIM, as well as its independent auditors and other
advisors, will continue to work diligently to complete the process and will make every
effort to update its filings as soon as practicable after the completion of the
accounting, legal and other analyses required as a result of the review. In the interim,
RIM will report on the status of its continuous disclosure obligations to the Ontario
Securities Commission (OSC) pursuant to the management cease trade order issued by the OSC
on December 18, 2006. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has had communications
with both staff of the OSC and staff of the SEC about its internal review. The Company
intends to continue to cooperate with the OSC and SEC. </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 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,
the anticipated timing of the press release announcing the completion of the internal
review and the filing of financial statements. The terms and phrases, &#147;preliminary
determination&#148;, &#147;expects&#148;, &#147;will&#148;, &#147;anticipate&#148;,
&#147;intends&#148; and similar terms and phrases are intended to identify these

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: determinations made by
RIM&#146;s Special Committee, outside advisors, auditors and others; unanticipated
developments and additional delays encountered during the ongoing review; developments
relating to RIM&#146;s ongoing communications with the SEC and the OSC; additional
corrections that may be required based on factual findings and analysis in the ongoing
review; risks associated with litigation relating to RIM&#146;s stock option grants; 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 which 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>
