  NEW YORK, NY, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Arcade Acquisition Corp. (OTCBB: ACDQU) (OTCBB: ACDQ) (OTCBB: ACDQW)
announced today that it intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to
voluntarily suspend its reporting obligations under the provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a
result of filing the Form 15, the company will no longer be required to
file reports under the Exchange Act, including quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, and current reports on Form 8-K. In
addition, the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will no longer
apply to the company.

    Arcade's Board of Directors has determined that it is highly unlikely that
it will be able to effect a business combination prior to the May 21, 2009
deadline provided in its charter and has made the decision to deregister
as a cost-saving measure pending the company's liquidation at such time.

    As of February 28, 2009, the latest date for which financial information
is available, there was approximately $68,048,000, or approximately $7.89
per share, being held in Arcade's trust account. Management does not
expect that there will be a material amount of cash remaining outside of
the trust account following anticipated expenditures for operations and
liquidation.

    Following the filing, the Company's common stock, units and warrants will
trade on the Pink OTC Markets (www.pinksheets.com) quotations system.
