DSL.net, Inc. (AMEX: BIZ), a leading nationwide provider of broadband communications services to businesses, today reported that it has been advised by staff of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) that it intends to suspend trading in the Company's common stock effective as of the commencement of AMEX' trading session on January 9, 2006. AMEX has further notified the Company that AMEX has submitted an application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to strike the Company's common stock from listing on AMEX effective as of the opening of trading on January 10, 2006. During the period of suspension, the Company's common stock is eligible to be quoted immediately by market makers on The Pink Sheets, according to that quotation system's staff advice. Further, the Company believes its common stock is eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board service (OTCBB), subject to a market maker establishing a market in the Company's common stock on such quotation service under applicable OTCBB rules. The Company has been advised by several market makers that they intend to sponsor quotation of the Company's common stock on OTCBB. On or promptly following suspension of trading on AMEX, the NASDAQ will issue a new trading symbol for the Company's common stock, which the Company will announce upon issuance. AMEX' decision to suspend trading and pursue delisting is based on its determination that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the AMEX Company Guide due to the low selling price of the Company's common stock, and the Company's decision to not effect a requested reverse stock split to address such low selling price nor to appeal AMEX' determinations, as previously reported. The last day of trading of the Company's common stock on AMEX prior to the suspension going into effect will be Friday, January 6, 2006.
