NEW YORK, May 11  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On May 8, 2009, the staff of the NYSE Amex (the "Exchange")  notified MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE Amex: MGT) (the "Company") that it accepted the Company's plan of compliance and granted the Company an extension until August 11, 2009 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.  The Company will be subject to periodic review by Exchange staff during the extension period.

On February 10, 2009, the Company received notice from the Exchange indicating that the Company does not meet one of the Exchange's continued listing standards due to its failure to hold an annual meeting of its shareholders in 2008, as set forth in Section 704 of the Exchange's Company Guide.  The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange and, on March 6, 2009, presented its plan to the Exchange.
