  MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Copernic Inc., (the "Company"), (NASDAQ: CNIC), a leading software
development company specializing in internet, desktop and mobile search
products, announced that it received a NASDAQ Notice on October 22, 2008,
indicating that the Company has received an extension to comply with the
minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

    The notice stated: "Given these extraordinary market conditions, NASDAQ
has determined to suspend enforcement of the bid price and market value
of publicly held shares requirements through Friday, January 16, 2009. In
that regard, on October 16, 2008, NASDAQ filed an immediately effective
rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement the
suspension. As a result, all companies presently in a bid price or market
value of publicly held shares compliance period will remain at that same
stage of the process and will not be subject to being delisted for these
concerns. These rules will be reinstated on Monday, January 19, 2009 and
the first relevant trade date will be Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

    Since your company had 59 calendar days remaining in its compliance
period as of October 16th, it will, upon reinstatement of the rules,
still have this number of days, or until March 19, 2009, to regain
compliance. The company can regain compliance, either during the
suspension or during the compliance period resuming after the suspension,
by achieving a $1 closing bid price for a minimum of 10 consecutive
trading days".

    Marc Ferland, President and CEO of Copernic Inc. stated that he welcomed
this moratorium which allows management to continue focussing on value
creation activities for the benefit of its shareholders.
