GoAmerica Receives Temporary Exception to Nasdaq's $1 Minimum Bid Price Listing Requirement Trading Symbol Changed During Conditional Listing HACKENSACK, N.J., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoAmerica, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOAM; GOAMC) today announced that it has received a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel Determination granting GoAmerica a temporary exception to the $1.00 minimum closing bid price per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market (as required by Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4)) through at least October 4, 2004, subject to certain conditions. As previously announced, GoAmerica had appealed a June 2004 Nasdaq Staff Determination that the Company's Common Stock be delisted for failure to satisfy the minimum bid price by May 31, 2004. The Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel provided such additional time for compliance by GoAmerica with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) because GoAmerica is in compliance with all other Nasdaq listing requirements; however, the temporary exception also provides interim deadlines for certain actions the Company must complete as part of the process of remedying its bid price deficiency. The Company believes that it can meet these conditions, however, there can be no assurance that it will do so. In connection with the temporary exception, Nasdaq has appended a fifth character "C" to GoAmerica's regular "GOAM" trading symbol, effective as of the commencement of trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on August 19, 2004, so that GoAmerica's trading symbol will be "GOAMC" for the duration of the exception. In the event that the Company's Common Stock ceases to be listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company expects to be immediately listed in the OTC-Bulletin Board maintained by Nasdaq.
