NYSE Amex Accepts Inuvo’s Plan of Compliance


CLEARWATER, Fla.—July 7, 2011 -- Inuvo®, Inc. (NYSE Amex: INUV), an online technology and services company, announced today that it received notice from the NYSE Amex that the Exchange has accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Exchange by December 8, 2012 and will continue to list Inuvo’s common stock on the NYSE Amex during the extension period.

Wally Ruiz, Inuvo’s Chief Financial Officer, commented on the approval, “We are pleased with the decision of the NYSE Amex.  We submitted a realistic plan to retain compliance and recently executed on the first part of the plan by completing an equity raise.  We expect to implement the balance of the plan during the compliance period.”

On May 9, 2011, Inuvo received noticed from the NYSE Amex Staff indicating that Inuvo was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, specifically with stockholders' equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years.  Inuvo was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange and on June 8, 2011, Inuvo presented its plan to the Exchange.

On July 5, 2011, the Exchange notified Inuvo that it accepted the Company’s plan of compliance and granted the Company an extension until December 8, 2012 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. Inuvo will be subject to periodic review by Exchange Staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the NYSE Amex LLC.
