VISGE Viisage Technology (MM)

Viisage (NASDAQ: VISGE), a leading provider of advanced technology identity solutions, announced today that a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has granted the Company's request for continued listing on The NASDAQ National Market as long as the Company files on or before June 30, 2005, its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005. The staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market had previously notified the Company that the Company was subject to potential delisting from The NASDAQ National Market as a result of its failure to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005, in a timely fashion, as required under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). If the Company is unable to comply with the conditions for continued listing required by the NASDAQ Panel, then the Company's common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ National Market. While the Company is working diligently toward meeting the June 30, 2005, deadline, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet this deadline. If the Company becomes concerned for any reason that it will be unable to meet the deadline, the Company intends to request additional time from the NASDAQ Panel. There can be no assurance that the NASDAQ Panel will extend the deadline beyond June 30. The fifth character "E" will remain appended to the Company's trading symbol pending a determination that the Company is fully compliant with NASDAQ's filing requirements and has evidenced compliance with all other requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ.
