Media Sciences International's Stock to Be Delisted from NASDAQ

OAKLAND, N.J., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Media Sciences International, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSII) today announced that its common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended from the NASDAQ Capital Market effective July 22, 2010.  The Company's stock is being delisted because the stock's bid price is trading under the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2). On May 10, 2010, the Company, after meeting with the NASDAQ's Listing Rules Committee, was granted a temporary extension of time to comply with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement.  To have met the NASDAQ trading requirement the Company could have accomplished a reverse stock split increasing the price in excess of the $1.00 minimum, but determined that it is in the best interests of the Company not to effect a reverse split.

Levin, Media Sciences International's President and CEO stated, "We are disappointed that we are being delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market.  Our focus continues to be on growing our business and while this might appear to be a set-back, I am very optimistic that the initiatives we have in place and the upcoming closing of our China acquisition will greatly enhance our business.  We will continue to be accessible and keep shareholders and potential investors informed of our progress.
