Item 3.03                   Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

On June 2, 2010, Comtex News Network, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was effective as of 11:59 p.m. on June 2, 2010.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains an amendment that effects a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split.  In connection with the reverse stock split, existing stockholders are entitled to receive one share of post-split common stock of the Company for every 1,000 shares of pre-split common stock of the Company that they held.  Stockholders who would be entitled to receive fractional post-split shares instead are entitled to receive a cash payment of $0.29 per share of pre-split common stock in lieu of fractional post-split shares.  Stockholders who hold fewer than 1,000 shares of pre-split common stock will no longer have an ownership interest in the Company.  The post-split common stock will no longer be eligible for listing on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of the Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority, and the number of stockholders will be reduced to a number that will allow the Company to deregister its common stock.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also contains a provision that permits actions of the Company ’ s stockholders of the Company to be taken by written consent.  The previous provision prohibited stockholders from acting by written consent and required actions of stockholders to be taken at an annual or special stockholders ’  meeting.

The foregoing is a summary of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Comtex News Network, Inc., a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3(i) hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
