Europa Cruises Corporation Announces it Intends to Trade on the OTC Bulletin Board MADEIRA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Europa Cruises Corporation (Nasdaq:KRUZ - news) announced that on November 5, 1998, Nasdaq notified the Company that its request for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market pursuant to an exception to the new $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, which became effective February 23, 1998, had been denied. Thus, effective with the close of business November 5, 1998, the Company's securities will no longer be traded on Nasdaq, but will be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Deborah A. Vitale, President, commenting on the announcement, stated: ''The Company's shareholders were adamantly opposed to a reverse stock split which would have enabled the Company to maintain its Nasdaq listing. However, the Company was convinced that the results of a reverse stock split would be temporary, at best, and that the negative effects of a reverse stock split were not justified by continued Nasdaq listing. The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) equity securities. Shareholders should have no problem in the future trading their shares on the OTC Bulletin Board.'' For further information about the OTC Bulletin Board, visit their web site at www.otcbb.com.
