Entertainment Distribution Company Moves Listing to NASDAQ Capital Market from NASDAQ Global Market

- Announces Date for Annual Shareholder Meeting -

NEW YORK, June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Entertainment Distribution Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:EDCI) ("EDCI"), the majority shareholder of Entertainment Distribution Company, LLC ("EDC, LLC") a global and independent provider of supply chain services to the home entertainment market, today announced that the Company has applied to The NASDAQ Stock Market to transfer the listing of its common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market. EDCI expects that the transfer will be effective as of the market opening on Wednesday, July 2, 2008.

The Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "EDCI" and trading of the Company's stock will be unaffected by this change. The NASDAQ Capital Market is one of the three market tier designations for NASDAQ-listed stocks, and presently includes over 550 companies. All companies listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market must meet certain financial requirements and adhere to similar corporate governance standards as companies listed on The NASDAQ Global Market.

The listing transfer is part of the Company's action taken in response to a letter received from NASDAQ on January 4, 2008. As previously announced on January 7, 2008, EDCI is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5), the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, which is a requirement of NASDAQ to maintain continued listing. Upon transfer of its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company will have an additional 180 calendar days from the original July 2, 2008 deadline, or until December 29, 2008, to regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share.

Additionally, the Company announced today that its 2008 annual shareholders meeting will be held on Friday, August 22, 2008 at the Courtyard by Marriott, 1856 Remount Road, Gastonia, North Carolina 28054 at 9:00 a.m. local time. The record date for the 2008 annual shareholders meeting is Friday, June 20, 2008.

At the annual meeting of shareholders, the Company will present a proposal for certain transactions that, if approved, would have the effect of a 1:10 reverse stock split to assist it in regaining compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement. These transactions would also impose certain transfer restrictions that would assist in protecting the long-term value of the Company's substantial net operating loss carryforwards. If these transactions are approved, the Company intends to terminate its Rights Plan as previously announced on April 3, 2008.

This press release shall not constitute a solicitation of proxies for the annual meeting of shareholders or an offer to sell or exchange any securities or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or exchange any securities. Any such solicitation or offer shall only be made pursuant to appropriate documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with all applicable securities rules and regulations.
