NEW YORK, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 'mktg, inc.' (Nasdaq: CMKG), an alternative marketing and media communications agency, today reported that it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 because the Company does not have a majority of independent directors and because it has an Audit Committee comprised of less than three directors.

As a result of the director resignations and subsequent appointments previously announced by the Company, 'mktg, inc.' currently has six directors serving on its Board of Directors, three of whom are independent, and an Audit Committee of two members. Pursuant to Nasdaq's Listing Rules, the Company has a cure period lasting until the earlier of its next stockholders meeting or January 21, 2011, or until July 20, 2010 if the Company's next stockholders' meeting is held before then, to regain compliance with Nasdaq's independent director and audit committee requirements. The Company may regain compliance with such requirements by appointing a fourth independent director to its Board who would also serve on its Audit Committee.
