Metrocall Changes Stock Listing to Nasdaq Small Cap Market
Alexandria, Virginia, September 14, 1999 - Metrocall, Inc., (NASDAQ: MCLL)
announced today that it has received approval by the Nasdaq to transfer the
quotation of its common stock from the Nasdaq National Market to the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market.
According to William L. Collins III, president and chief executive officer
for Metrocall, "The Board of Directors determined that, in light of the recent
trading price of the company's common stock, the transfer to the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market would be preferable to implementing the 1 for 2.5 reverse stock split
approved by the stockholders on May 5, 1999."
The transfer to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market will be effective at the open
of business on September 15, 1999. The company's common stock will continue to
