IDO Announces Board Approval for a Reverse Stock Split

The primary purposes of the reverse stock split are to increase the share price of the common stock to help maintain the interest of the markets and to reduce the outstanding shares of common stock to a level more consistent with other public companies with a similar market capitalization. The Board of Directors has determined that it would be in the Company's best interest in the near future to implement a reverse stock split up to a 1 for 5,000 basis.

Michael Goldberg, President of IDO Security said, "While the reverse stock split does not change the intrinsic value of the Company, the split should broaden the Company's appeal to investors. It is also necessary that we implement a reverse stock split in order to be responsive to the requirements being instituted by various clearing firms in hopes to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to meet the new internal rules being instituted by many clearing firms."

Following Board's decision on the ratio of the reverse stock split, implementation and the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, as well as common stock underlying stock options, warrants, preferred stock and as well as the authorized shares will be appropriately adjusted. There will be no cash or fractional shares issued as part of the Company's reverse stock split, therefore each stockholder's new share count will be rounded up to the nearest whole share if the number of shares is not evenly divisible by the ratio of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of the Company's common stock, except to the limited extent that the reverse stock split would result in any fractional shares being rounded up.

Further details as to the record date and time of the reverse stock split and the exact ratio of the reverse split will be forthcoming.
