Somatic Systems, Inc. Retires One Half-Billion Shares

By Investor Relations

NORTHAMPTON, MA — (Marketwire - September 23, 2008) — Somatic Systems, Inc. (SMAS [1] - news [2]) announced today that it has completed its fourth round of share buybacks, retiring another half billion shares of its common stock.

Prior to the beginning of this aggressive buyback program, Somatic Systems had approximately 8 billion shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Cancellation of this round of shares brings the structure down to approximately five-and-a-half billion shares, eliminating over one quarter of the company's stock.

The sizable elimination of shares has all been completed within the one month since Somatic Systems announced it would begin a massive share acquisition and cancellation program, to restructure the company's capital and grow share price without conducting a reverse split of the stock. Furthermore, the company has stated its intention to continue to acquire and retire additional shares.
