FORT WORTH, Texas--()--Teletouch Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: TLLE), a leading U.S. cellular services and consumer electronics provider, announced that effective September 1, 2010, the Company is now quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board electronic quotation system under the Company’s current ticker symbol, “TLLE.” For several years, the Company was traded on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). After completing the acquisition of Progressive Concepts, Inc. in August 2006, the Company was unable to timely report its consolidated financial statements and was subsequently delisted from the AMEX in January 2007. As a result, until yesterday, the Company had been quoted only on the Pink Sheets. In December 2009, Teletouch regained currency in all of its SEC-required prior period filings. With its recently filed Report on Form 10-K for the 2010 fiscal year ended May 31st, the Company has also timely filed all of its required financial reports for a consecutive twelve month period and is therefore deemed fully current and compliant under all SEC guidelines and requirements.
“Our stock symbol will remain TLLE while on the OTCBB, providing continuity for ongoing investor information purposes.”
"Teletouch’s move to the OTCBB is one of the stated milestones we have achieved towards our structural objective to increase sustainable shareholder value. We expect that this transition to the OTCBB quotation system will provide improved trading visibility to our current and prospective shareholders, as well as enhance the overall market efficiency in the trading of our stock," stated T. A. "Kip" Hyde, Jr., President, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Teletouch. “Our stock symbol will remain TLLE while on the OTCBB, providing continuity for ongoing investor information purposes.”
