Intrusion Inc. Receives Nasdaq Listing Extension

 

 

Richardson, Texas – January 20, 2004 – Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ), (“Intrusion”) today announced that its common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap market via an exception from the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement granted by a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.  While Intrusion failed to meet this requirement as of November 5, 2003, the Company was granted a temporary exception from this standard subject to Intrusion meeting certain conditions.

 

The exception granted by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel requires Intrusion to file a proxy statement on or before March 1, 2004 evidencing its intent to seek stockholder approval of a reverse stock split.  Intrusion’s Board has approved a reverse stock split of 1 for 4, subject to stockholder approval.  Intrusion is also required by the exception to attain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share on or before April 2, 2004 and maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days immediately thereafter.  In addition, Intrusion must file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 on or before March 30, 2004 and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 on or before May 15, 2004, each evidencing stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 in accordance with Nasdaq requirements.

 

In the event the Company is deemed to have met the terms of the exception, it shall continue to be listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  The Company believes that it can meet these conditions, however, there can be no assurance that it will do so.  If at some future date the Company’s securities should cease to be listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, they may continue to be listed in the OTC Bulletin Board.  For the duration of the exception, the Company’s Nasdaq symbol will be “INTZC”.  The symbol change will become effective with the open of business on January 22, 2004.
