Blockbuster Inc. ( BBI, BBI.B) Notified by NYSE of Non-Compliance with Continued Listing Standards

Blockbuster Inc. ( BBI, BBI.B), a leading global provider of media entertainment, today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a combination of its shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock into a single class of shares of common stock. Blockbuster's dual class capital structure was originally established in connection with Blockbuster's prior ownership by Viacom. Blockbuster believes that elimination of the dual class capital structure will improve the liquidity of its common stock and end confusion regarding the differences between the two classes of common stock.  Blockbuster's Board of Directors may explore additional alternatives with respect to its capital structure if necessary to cure the price condition deficiency.
