Attunity To List On NASDAQ

BURLINGTON, Mass., July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Attunity Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: ATTUF), a leading provider of information availability software solutions, announced today that, following its previously announced application to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ has informed the Company that it currently satisfies all eligibility requirements, except meeting the minimum price requirement. Consequently, the Company's Board of Directors has determined (as authorized by the Company's shareholders by an overwhelming majority of 94% of the shares voted at the special meeting of shareholders held on Thursday, June 21st ), to effect a reverse share split at a ratio of 1-for-4. The Company anticipates listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market promptly following the reverse split, subject to final approval by NASDAQ.

"Attunity has generated strong momentum in its operations and financial results over the past two years, which has been reflected in its revenue growth, profitability, shareholder equity and stock price.  In light of this progress, the Board of Directors has taken the necessary steps to list the Company's ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market, to provide greater exposure to a broader base of investors. The support of Attunity's shareholders while making this important transition to the NASDAQ Capital Market is an indication of their resounding confidence in the Company's long-term business opportunities," commented Shimon Alon, Chairman and CEO of Attunity. "Attunity is well positioned to expand its role in the 'Big Data' and Cloud markets through a range of innovative enterprise-class software solutions and we believe that the additional exposure and credibility Attunity will receive with its customers and partners as a NASDAQ Capital Market listed company will also help advance its business."

According to NASDAQ's minimum price requirement, the Company's shares will need to trade at a minimum closing price of $3.00 for at least five consecutive trading days before listing on NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company has filed the required notice of the reverse share split with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and, subject to FINRA's clearance, expects the split to take effect in the second half of July 2012. The Company will report the final effective date of the reverse share split once available. 

As a result of the reverse split, the number of the Company's authorized ordinary shares will decrease from 130,000,000 to 32,500,000 Ordinary Shares; the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding is expected to decrease from 42,293,854 to 10,573,463 (without reflecting the rounding down of fractional shares); and the par value per Ordinary Share will increase from NIS 0.10 to NIS 0.40.
