FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SLI’s Plan of Reorganization Confirmed by Court;
Company Will Soon Emerge from Chapter 11

Canton, MA – June 20 – SLI, Inc. (“SLI” or the “Company”) announced that on June 19, 2003, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmed the amended Plan of Reorganization that was filed by the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries.

The Plan garnered overwhelming support from its unsecured creditors and the secured lenders. Emergence from Chapter 11 is subject to the order becoming a final order, consummation of the purchase of equity in the reorganized Company by the secured lenders and funding of a term loan by the secured lenders.

Holders of general unsecured claims will receive a pro rata distribution of an agreed upon cash payment and a funded interest in certain preference and other claims. There will be no recovery for SLI’s prepetition stockholders and their stock will be cancelled.

SLI and its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on September 9, 2002.
