Fortress International Group Announces Voluntary Delisting From NASDAQ

Fortress International Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIGI) ("Fortress"), a leading provider of consulting and engineering, construction management and 24/7/365 site services for mission-critical facilities, today announced that its Board of Directors has voted to voluntarily delist the Company's common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5840(j). In conjunction with this vote, Fortress has given formal notice to the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") of the Company's intention to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market. Fortress plans to file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 22, 2010, and expects the delisting of its shares of its common stock to become effective 10 days following the filing, or approximately April 1, 2010.

The Company is working with several market makers and anticipates that following its NASDAQ delisting, Fortress' Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board® ("OTCBB"), a centralized electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities operated by The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc. The Company expects that its common stock will continue to trade on the OTCBB so long as market makers demonstrate an interest in trading the common stock. The Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

"As part of our strategy to conserve resources and improve cost efficiencies, management and the Board have determined that the benefits of a NASDAQ listing no longer outweigh the significant legal, accounting and administrative costs associated with maintaining a listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market," said Chief Executive Officer Thomas P. Rosato. "As the markets in which we operate continue to show signs of gradual improvement, the additional resources we gain from this move better enable us to focus our efforts on the growth of our business, a return to sustained profitability and increased shareholder value."
