Stock repurchase program update

 

TORONTO, March 1, 2010 - Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX: TCX, TSX:TC) today updated certain details related to its previously announced normal course issuer bid.  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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report pursuant to Item 8.01 and Regulation FD.
