FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CIC SHARES TRADE EXCLUSIVELY ON OTCQB
CIC Shares No Longer Available on OTCBB
As Market Makers Leave FINRA’s Quotation Platform
Redwood Shores, CA, March 7, 2011 – Communication Intelligence Corporation (“CIC” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification, announced today that its common stock is now being quoted exclusively on OTC Markets Group Inc.’s (“OTCM”) OTCQB platform and is no longer quoted on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) bulletin board (“OTCBB”). CIC is current in all its reporting obligations to the SEC and the delisting from the OTCBB was not caused by any action or inaction by CIC. The delisting occurred when the Company’s market makers abandoned the OTCBB in favor of OTCM’s quotation and trading systems. CIC believes that this widespread move by market makers resulted primarily from the level of fees being charged by FINRA.
OTCM operates the world's largest electronic marketplace for broker-dealers to trade stocks not currently listed on major exchanges such as NASDAQ and NYSE. Its OTC Link platform supports an open network of competing broker-dealers that provide investors with prices in over 10,000 over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities. In 2010, according to OTCM, securities on OTC Link traded over $144 billion in dollar volume, making it the third largest US equity trading venue after NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange.
Mr. Philip Sassower, CIC’s Chairman and CEO, stated that “according to OTCM, over just the past month, more than 800 publicly traded companies have moved from being dually quoted (OTCBB and OTC Link) to being quoted exclusively on the OTC Link platform, which, as of the end of February, published 95% of priced quotes in the OTC marketplace. We believe this shows brokers' virtually unanimous support of the electronic OTC Link system.”
During the transition, some financial web sites, trading platforms and quotation systems may report CIC using different ticker symbol extensions than those used when its shares were traded also on the OTCBB.
