Headline: Pinnacle Shareholder Seeks Board Agreement to Allow Two New Shareholder-Appointed Directors

Summit, New Jersey – Wayne King, a shareholder of Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (“Pinnacle”), noted today that Pinnacle shares are currently trading at a near all-time low. He commented that shareholders are no doubt distressed to see the value of their investment fall and frustrated to see Pinnacle’s market value at a massive discount to its net worth. Media and analyst speculation of Pinnacle’s demise have further added to shareholder anxiety.

Mr. King believes Pinnacle’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) can take a positive step to reassure shareholders. He is calling on the Board to agree to appoint two new shareholder-appointed directors, with full voting rights, to act as shareholder representatives. Given the recent share performance, Mr. King believes it is likely that the shareholders of Pinnacle will overwhelmingly support this measure. Due to the current heightened concerns, the Board would best serve shareholders by acting promptly rather than waiting six months until the next annual meeting.

Now more than ever, shareholders need to be confident that their interests are being represented, and by taking this unique and positive step, the Board would demonstrate its respect for shareholder concerns.

Mr. King intends to engage in discussions with other shareholders, and encourages the Board to do the same.

Wayne King is a private investor from the State of New Jersey.
