EXHIBIT 99
Electronic Retailing Systems International, Inc. to be
Listed On The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
Norwalk, Conn.--November 6, 1998--Electronic Retailing Systems
International, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:ERSI) announced that,
effective today, the Company's Common Stock will be listed on The
Nasdaq SmallCap Market pursuant to the maintenance criteria for
such listing.
The move of the Company's securities to the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market is pursuant to a determination by the NASD that the
Company's minimum bid price is not consistent with the requirements
of the Nasdaq National Market.
ERS is a leading developer and supplier of electronic shelf
labeling systems designed to improve retailer profitability. The
ERS ShelfNet(R) system is designed to assist retailers in cost
savings and pricing accuracy by using a wireless network to link a
store's central computer both to its check-out scanner and to the
electronic shelf labels ("ESLs") that display pricing information
at the shelf edge. With ShelfNet, this pricing information is
updated automatically on the ESLs when prices in the point-of-sale
("POS") scanner are changed. This provides price integrity between
the shelf edge and the POS scanners. ShelfNet uses spread spectrum
RF technology, which is the most widely used method of wireless
communication in retail today. In addition, ShelfNet uses a suite
of patented software applications designed to communicate
merchandising, inventory and other information to and from store
personnel in the aisle. These applications are designed to provide
value-added benefits to retailers in the areas of shelf-edge
merchandising, replenishment control, strategic pricing and shelf
set compliance.
