PurchasePro Announces Nasdaq Appeal


LAS VEGAS, Aug. 27, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- PurchasePro (Nasdaq:PPRO) said today that the company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination on August 20, 2002 indicating that the company fails to comply with Nasdaq's requirements for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because the company has not yet filed its 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, and that PurchasePro's securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

PurchasePro has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. This request for a hearing suspends the delisting action until the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel reaches a final decision. There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the company's request for continued listing.
