Tucows Updates Details Related to Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO, March 1 /CNW/ - Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX: TCX, TSX:TC) today updated certain details related to its previously announced normal course issuer bid.

As previously announced on February 16, 2010, Tucows' Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program to repurchase up to $10 million of Tucows common stock. Tucows has the option to repurchase its shares of common stock either through the facilities of the NYSE AMEX or TSX Stock Exchange.

On February 23, 2010, Lacuna Ventures GP LLLP and Rawleigh Hazen Ralls IV, insiders of the Company, filed Form 4's on EDGAR announcing that they had sold a portion of their holdings in Tucows in the open market.

In the press release of February 16, 2010 Tucows included a statement that it does not intend to purchase its shares from its management team or other insiders.

Although it is still Tucows' intent not to purchase shares from its management team or other insiders, sales by such persons through the facilities of NYSE AMEX or the TSX may occur if the circumstances of any such person or entity changes or any such person or entity makes a decision unrelated to these normal course purchases. The benefits to any such person or entity whose shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose shares are purchased by Tucows in connection with the normal course issuer bid.

OTHER THAN AS REFERENCED ABOVE, NO STOCK EXCHANGE, SECURITIES COMMISSION OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN.
