GoAmerica Receives and Appeals Nasdaq Delisting Notice

From: PR Newswire (press release) - Jun 8, 2004

HACKENSACK, N.J., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoAmerica, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOAM and GOAMD) today announced that it recently received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that GoAmerica has failed to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 closing bid price per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market (as set forth in Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4)). GoAmerica has filed an appeal of the Nasdaq Staff Determination and requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination, which action automatically stays the delisting of GoAmerica's Common Stock.

During the appeal process and until the Panel's ultimate determination, GoAmerica's Common Stock will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Hearings with the Panel typically occur within 30 to 45 days of a company's request. Had the Company not timely filed its appeal, GoAmerica's Common Shares would have been subject to delisting as of June 14, 2004. The Company believes that it continues to comply with all Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing qualifications other than minimum bid price per share.

GoAmerica intends to present, among other things, a plan to the Panel for achieving and sustaining compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules as well as information regarding the unauthorized listing of the Company's Common Stock on the Berlin Bremen Stock Exchange and other German stock exchanges and possible adverse developments therefrom.

GoAmerica has contacted the Berlin Stock Exchange as well as the German brokerage firm (Berliner Freiverkehr (Aktien) AG) that applied, without the Company's knowledge or authorization, for GoAmerica's listing on the German stock exchanges. The Berlin exchange and the broker each contend that their respective actions and all trading of GoAmerica's shares has been conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and under close monitoring of the German Securities and Exchange Commission. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), financial media and numerous similarly affected U.S. public companies have addressed the discovery and investigation of the notable increase in such foreign exchange listings of U.S. companies since "naked short selling" restrictions were recently implemented by the SEC and NASD, all contributing to a growing belief that domestic and/or foreign brokers attempt to circumvent such restrictions and benefit from an "arbitrage" loophole.

The Company believes that unattributable increased downward pressure on GoAmerica's stock price during the weeks immediately preceding and following the implementation of a one-for-ten reverse stock split as of May 14, 2004 may have hindered the Company's ability to regain bid price compliance during a critical listing qualification period. The Company is unable to determine the cause of such unduly adverse trading activity as the Company believes that its financial condition is significantly better than it has been in recent fiscal quarters and that no new negative material information about the Company was introduced into the market during the relevant period.

Despite the Company's appeal, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant GoAmerica's request for continued listing. If the pending appeal is unsuccessful, GoAmerica's Common Shares are expected to be immediately eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company's regular ticker symbol is GOAM; however, Nasdaq appended a temporary "D" to it (making the interim ticker symbol "GOAMD"), beginning on May 17, 2004, to indicate the Company's reverse stock split. The Company's ticker symbol is expected to revert to GOAM on or about June 15, 2004.
