ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc. Intends to Voluntarily Discontinue the Quotation of Its Common Stock on The OTC Bulletin Board

CHALFONT, Pa., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- E-procurement management company ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CPBR), today announced that it intends to voluntarily discontinue the quotation of its common stock on The OTC Bulletin Board and to deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In connection with the deregistration, ClearPoint will no longer be subject to SEC reporting requirements and ClearPoint's common stock will no longer be quoted on The OTC Bulletin Board.  ClearPoint expects that its common stock will continue to be quoted on the Pink Sheets and intends to continue to make financial information available to stockholders upon request.

Michael D. Traina, Chief Executive Officer of ClearPoint, stated, "After careful analysis, the Board of Directors concluded that the costs of public company compliance, coupled with the lost productivity resulting from management's compliance activities, significantly outweigh the benefits to ClearPoint of the quotation of its common stock on The OTC Bulletin Board."

ClearPoint expects that it will file on or about March 30, 2010 a Form 15 with the SEC, which will result in the voluntary deregistration of ClearPoint's common stock and immediate suspension of ClearPoint's obligation to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, except that ClearPoint intends to file with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  The deregistration itself is expected to be made effective by the SEC within 90 days of the filing of the Form 15.  Following the deregistration, ClearPoint's common stock is expected to be quoted on the Pink Sheets, a centralized electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities, so long as market makers demonstrate an interest in trading in ClearPoint's stock. However, ClearPoint can give no assurance that trading in its stock will continue on the Pink Sheets or on any other securities exchange or quotation medium or that its common stock will be actively traded.  ClearPoint is committed to providing as much transparency as is beneficial and warranted under those conditions.
