      SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 18, 1994 Stac Electronics (NASDAQ:STAC),
      the leading supplier of data compression products for doubling
      the storage capacity of personal computers, announced today that
      the company has moved its corporate headquarters from Carlsbad to
      a new 32,000 square foot facility in Corporate Plaza II, located
      14 miles south in Del Mar Heights.  Stac's relocation was
      facilitated by Rick Reeder, office marketing specialist for
      Business Real Estate Brokerage in San Diego.
      
      Stac's new office space, located at 12636 High Bluff Drive, will
      house its executive offices, sales and marketing, software
      engineering, and all administrative accounts, such as data
      processing and human resources.  The company will retain its
      warehouse and much of its office facilities in Carlsbad for housing 
      approximately 40 employees from its semiconductor group and
      product and support services.
      
      "The explosive growth Stac has experienced over the past year,
      coupled with our projected space needs as we grow our data
      compression business and expand into new markets, dictated that
      we find a new facility," said Gary Clow, president and CEO, Stac
      Electronics.  "Del Mar Heights proved to be a viable location. It
      enables our product development to consolidate on one floor, and
      it is overall, better space for the money."
      
      Reeder added that he expects local business in the area to
      experience immediate benefit from Stac's presence.   "Stac is
      contributing its high-quality talent pool to Del Mar's rapidly
      expanding advanced technology work force, and should also help us
      attract other high tech companies to the area," he said.
      
      Stac signed a 5 1/2-year lease totaling $2.8 million for the new
      facility in Del Mar Heights.  Stac was based in Carlsbad for the
      past four years.  Prior to Carlsbad, Stac was headquartered in
      Pasadena, Calif., beginning in 1983, the year the company was
      founded.
      
      Stac's award-winning product line includes Stacker for Windows &
      DOS, Stacker for OS/2 & DOS, and Stacker for Macintosh.  In
      February, Stac began shipping Stacker 4.0 for Windows & DOS which
      breaks the 2:1 compression barrier and provides the most disk
      space available, as well as several other new features and
      enhancements.
      
      Stac Electronics is a leading supplier of high performance data
      compression products for personal computers.  Implemented in
      software and silicon, Stac's products are sold direct from the
      company and through retail and OEM sales distribution channels
