ATLANTA, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TRX, Inc. (http://www.trx.com/) , a global leader in travel technology and data services, today announced that NASDAQ has approved its application to transfer its stock listing from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective 5 October 2009. At that time, TRX common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "TRXI". The Nasdaq Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, where TRX common stock will continue to trade through 2 October 2009.

TRX previously was notified by Nasdaq that it no longer satisfies certain continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market, namely maintaining at least $10 million in shareholders'' equity, and maintaining at least a $1.00 per share bid price. In response, the Company submitted an application to list its shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which was approved on 1 October 2009. Because the Capital Market has different continued listing requirements with respect to shareholders'' equity, once the transfer is complete, TRX will no longer be out of compliance with the shareholders'' equity continued listing requirement. TRX has until March 29, 2010 to regain compliance with the bid price standard, which will occur if the closing bid price of TRX''s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.

Additionally, TRX today announced an increase of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2009 by 10 percent, to $5.5 million.

"We continue to help our clients navigate this historic recession successfully," said Chief Financial Officer David Cathcart. "Our efforts on behalf of our clients, as well as internal improvement initiatives, are delivering results this year for our stakeholders."

TRX will offer more detailed updates as part of its quarterly reporting, expected in early to mid November.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

TRX provides financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Presentation of non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate our performance. These non-GAAP measures provide a baseline for assessing the company''s future earnings expectations. TRX management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. The non-GAAP measures included in this release are provided to give investors access to the types of measures that we use in analyzing our results.

EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, amortization, interest expense, net and income tax provision (benefit). EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the Company''s performance because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in the cost associated with capital investments and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for stock compensation expense and the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to the cash the Company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus do not reflect the funds generated from operations or actually available for capital expenditures.

TRX''s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
