EasyLink Requests NASDAQ Hearing to Address Non-Compliance with 10-Q Filing Requirement; Company Stock Trading under Symbol ''EA

EasyLink Services Corporation (NASDAQ: EASYE), a leading
global provider of services that power the exchange of information
between enterprises, their trading communities and their customers,
today announced that it has received notices of non-compliance with
Nasdaq Stock Market continued listing requirements.
   On August 23, 2005, the Company received notice from The NASDAQ
Stock Market, Inc. Listing Qualifications Staff that the Company has
failed to comply with the filing requirement for continued listing set
forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to the Company's
failure to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 on a timely basis and that its common stock is
therefore subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq National
Market. The Company has requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Panel and at the hearing will request a waiver of the
compliance failure until the Company files its Form 10-Q for the three
months ended June 30, 2005. The Company previously announced that it
would not be able to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2005 until its recently appointed independent public accounting firm
completes its review of the Company's financial statements for the
quarter and potential adjustments relating to certain prior period
expense accruals and foreign tax liabilities have been resolved. The
Company's appeal to the Panel will automatically stay the delisting of
the Company's common stock pending the Panel's review and
determination. The Company's stock will remain listed on The NASDAQ
National Market under the trading symbol "EASYE" during the pendency
of the Panel's review and determination.
   On August 23, 2005, the Company also received notice from The
NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Listing Qualifications Staff that for 30
consecutive trading days the bid price of its common stock closed
below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion
under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (the "Minimum Bid Price
Rule"). This notification from Nasdaq has no effect on the listing of
the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq National Market at this time,
and the Company has not yet determined to take any particular action
in response to this notification.
   The letter from Nasdaq indicates that, in accordance with Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company has until February 21, 2006
(180 calendar days from the date of the letter) to regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company may regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Rule if, at any time before February 21,
2006, the bid price of its common stock closes at $1.00 per share or
more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. The Nasdaq staff
may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of
at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of ten consecutive
business days (but generally no more than 20 consecutive business
days) before determining that the Company has demonstrated the ability
to maintain long-term compliance. The letter states that, if
compliance with the minimum Bid Price Rule cannot be demonstrated by
February 21, 2006, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification
that the Company's common stock will be delisted, and at that time the
Company may appeal the staff's determination to a Listing
Qualifications Panel. The letter also indicates that, alternatively,
the Company may apply to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market if the Company satisfies the requirements for initial
inclusion on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, other than the Minimum Bid
Price Rule, and that if the application is approved, the Company will
be afforded the remainder of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market's additional
180-day compliance period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid
Price Rule while on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
   This press release is being issued pursuant to the requirements of
Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4815(b).
