MCLEAN, Va. -- Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (NASDAQ:PRTL) today announced it has received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market notifying the Company that, for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(4) (the "Rule").

The Company has 180 days to regain compliance with the NASDAQ's National Market $1.00 minimum bid price rule. If at any time before December 12, 2005, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ may notify the Company that it is in compliance with the Rule. However, NASDAQ has the discretion to require a period in excess of ten business days before determining that the ability to maintain long-term compliance has been demonstrated. If the Company does not regain compliance by December 12, 2005, and it meets the NASDAQ SmallCap Market initial inclusion requirements except for bid price, it may apply to transfer from the NASDAQ National Market to the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. If the NASDAQ SmallCap Market application is approved, pursuant to NASDAQ SmallCap Market rules the Company would be granted an additional 180-day period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
