NewMarket Technology, Inc. Potential Short Squeeze Update and Possible End of Month Buy-In Pressure Today


DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - January 29, 2010) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NWMT) was listed on the Regulation SHO "threshold security" list (link: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=RegSHOThreshold) on January 11th, 2010. The Company is still on the list as posted at the end of the trading day yesterday. Today is the last trading day of January, and management anticipates possible buy-in pressure could be increased today as investment firms close out positions for the month.

As defined in Rule 203(c)(6) of Regulation SHO, a "threshold security" is any equity security of any issuer that is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or that is required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (commonly referred to as reporting securities), where, for five consecutive settlement days:


--  There are aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency of
    10,000 shares or more per security;
--  The level of fails is equal to at least one-half of one percent of the
    issuer's total shares outstanding; and
--  The security is included on a list published by a self-regulatory
    organization (SRO).
    

A security ceases to be a threshold security if it does not exceed the specified level of fails for five consecutive settlement days.
