NewMarket Temporary Ticker Symbol to Revert Back to 'NWMT' the Week of January 24th

Current Ticker Symbol Still an Issue With Some Finance Information Sources and Brokerage Firms


DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - January 5, 2011) - NewMarket Technology, Inc.'s (PINKSHEETS: NWMTD) (OTCQB: NWMTD) ticker symbol recently changed from 'NWMT' to 'NWMTD.' The ticker symbol change is temporary. The Company recently executed a 1 for 200 reverse split and the ticker symbol has had a 'D' appended to the end for 20 business days beginning December 27th to indicate the recent reverse split. The symbol is expected to revert back to 'NWMT' the week of January 24th upon completion of the 20 business day period.

In conjunction with the reverse split, CEO Bruce Noller stated, "The post-reverse price per share was $0.16 based on the last pre-reverse price. The processing of the new ticker symbol and reversed shares may take a few days to be reflected in all the online stock information and brokerage systems. In the meantime, there may be some confusing information on various internet sites or online brokerages. Do not hesitate to contact your broker with questions."
