Tranzbyte Enters Final Stages of Appeal Process with DTC Regarding the "Chill" Placed on the Company's Common Shares 18 Months Ago

PHOENIX, Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tranzbyte Corporation (ERBB (OTC:PK) announced today that it has engaged its administrative and legal resources to answer an information request received by the company from the Depository Trust Company (DTC) on September 8, 2012.  The DTC request for information was triggered by Tranzbyte's appeal of DTC's decision 18 months ago to place a deposit restriction or "chill" on the company's common shares on March 18, 2011.  ERBB has continued to trade during this period, but trade completion times are extended and can be more expensive.

According to Company president, David Gwyther, "The Deposit Transfer Restriction or 'Chill' placed on our common stock last year has hobbled our company's growth.  Since my arrival at the Company this year, one of my most important priorities - as directed by the Board - has been to successfully complete the appeal process with the DTC.  Shareholders should know that the Company has been fully engaged in this appeal process with the DTC for over a year in an effort to have the chill lifted at the earliest possible time."

Continues Gwyther, "The Company is engaged in some very exciting business segments that I believe will have a positive impact on the future growth of Tranzbyte.  Although our efforts, as we enter the final stage of this long appeal process, do not insure that Tranzbyte will be successful in reversing the DTC decision to 'chill' the stock, the company is cooperating in good faith with the DTC to achieve that result."

Both Tranzbyte Corporation and its divisions will continue to release details of new products and future acquisitions in the coming days, weeks and months.
