MTM Technologies, Inc. Announces Plan to Delist from NASDAQ and Deregister its Common Stock

STAMFORD, Conn. – July 14, 2009 - MTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTMC) (the “Company”) announced today that it has submitted written notice to the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) of its intention to delist its common stock from NASDAQ and to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and NASDAQ to effect the delisting. By operation of law, the delisting will be effective ten days after the filing of the Form 25 with the SEC.

Following the effectiveness of the Form 25 filing, the Company’s common stock will not be eligible for trading on any national securities exchange, although it may still be eligible for quotation on the Pink Sheets by broker-dealers. The Pink Sheets is a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker quotes in real time, primarily through its website at www.pinksheets.com. Although the Company expects to be quoted on the Pink Sheets, the Company can provide no assurance that any broker-dealer will make a market in the Company’s common stock, which is a requirement for Pink Sheet trading.

On the same day that the delisting becomes effective, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to voluntarily terminate the registration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and suspend its reporting obligations with the SEC. The Company anticipates the termination of registration will become effective 90 days following the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC. However, the Company’s obligation to file certain periodic reports and forms with the SEC, such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and Proxy Statements, will be suspended immediately upon filing of the Form 15.

The Company’s decision to delist and deregister its securities was made based primarily on the costs and demands on management time arising from compliance with SEC rules, Sarbanes-Oxley and NASDAQ listing standards. The Company is eligible to deregister its securities because it has fewer than 300 shareholders of record. The Board of Directors believes that while the liquidity for the Company’s stock may be reduced and the price of its stock could decrease at least in the near term, the accounting, legal and administrative savings associated with deregistration, both in terms of cost and in time, are in the best interests of stockholders and the Company.

“After careful consideration, the Company took this action because the advantages of being a public company are outweighed by the disadvantages to our shareholders. In light of the Company’s size, small market capitalization and thinly-traded stock, the Board believes the financial burden of reporting is disproportionate to any benefits of maintaining its registered status. We believe that our shareholders are better served by deregistration, which will allow management to focus on operating the business and working to increase shareholder value,” said Steve Stringer, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
