FortuNet, Inc. Announces Listing Transfer to Nasdaq Capital Market

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FortuNet, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:FNET) announced today that it has received approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications Staff to transfer the listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's common stock will be transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on January 11, 2010.

The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company's trading symbol will remain "FNET" and trading of the Company's stock will be largely unaffected by this change. Securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market must satisfy all applicable qualification requirements for Nasdaq securities and all companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial requirements and adhere to Nasdaq's corporate governance standards.

The listing transfer is in response to the Company's receipt on December 16, 2009 of written staff determination from the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications Department that the Company had not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C), which requires the Company's common stock to maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $5,000,000 for 30 consecutive trading days for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.
