ALOYD Alloy (MM)

Alloy, Inc. ("Alloy") (NASDAQ: ALOY/ ALOYD) announced that, effective as of today, it will implement a shareholder approved one-for-four reverse stock split. Such reverse stock split affects all outstanding shares held as of the close of trading on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, and Alloy's common stock will begin trading as adjusted for the reverse stock split today, Wednesday, February 1, 2006. Holders of Alloy stock approved the authorization of a reverse stock split of the common stock at a special meeting of stockholders held on January 12, 2006. The Alloy Board of Directors approved implementing the reverse stock split in a one-for-four ratio on the same date, subsequent to the special stockholder meeting. As a result of the reverse stock split, each four shares of Alloy common stock will be converted and reclassified as one share, thereby reducing the number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 46.7 million to approximately 11.7 million. Alloy will not issue any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding fractional shares will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the fraction to which such stockholders would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by $2.81, the closing price of Alloy common stock on January 31, 2006. The reverse stock split will affect all shares of Alloy's common stock, including those shares underlying stock options, warrants and convertible debentures outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split effective date. Beginning today, Alloy's common stock will trade under the symbol "ALOYD" for 20 trading days to designate that it is trading on a post-reverse stock split basis. Alloy's common stock will resume trading under the symbol "ALOY" after that 20-day period has elapsed.
