Item 3.03                      Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On August 17, 2010, Vertro, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-five reverse split of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Reverse Split”).  The complete text of the Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3(i) and is incorporated by reference.  The Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “VTROD” on August 18, 2010, and is expected to resume trading under the symbol “VTRO” on Thursday, September 16, 2010.

Each stockholder will hold approximately the same percentage of common stock outstanding after the Reverse Split as held immediately prior to the Reverse Split, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split.  Stockholders entitled to receive a fractional share interest following the Reverse Split will instead receive a cash payment determined by multiplying (i) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on August 16, 2010, as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market ($0.45) by (ii) the number of shares of common stock held by the stockholder that would otherwise have been exchanged for the fractional share interest.

In connection with the Reverse Split, the par value of the Company’s common stock increased to $0.005 per share, and the number of shares of common stock that the board of directors is authorized to issue under its Certificate of Incorporation decreased to 40,000,000 shares.
