InfoSonics Compliance Period for NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Rule Extended Three Months

Business Wire, Oct 23, 2008

SAN DIEGO -- InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ:IFON), one of the premier providers and distributors of wireless handsets and accessories serving Latin America, announced today that it received a NASDAQ letter (the "Notice") dated October 22, 2008 indicating that NASDAQ has suspended, for a three month period, the enforcement of the rule requiring a minimum bid price of publicly held shares. The Company will now have until April 13, 2009 to achieve compliance with the rule.

On July 10, 2008, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that for the last 30 consecutive trading days, the Company's publicly held shares had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5).

On October 16, 2008, NASDAQ implemented a temporary suspension of enforcement of Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) until Friday, January 16, 2009, due to the volatility of current market conditions. As a result of the temporary suspension, NASDAQ informed the Company that its deadline for compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) has been extended from January 6, 2009 to April 13, 2009.

During this interim period, the Company's common stock is expected to continue to trade on The NASDAQ Global Market. If compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) cannot be demonstrated by April 13, 2009, the staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market Listing Qualifications department (the "Staff") will deliver a written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market. If the Company receives a delisting notice, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may apply to transfer its securities to The NASDAQ Capital Market.
