Will Begin Trading On NASDAQ July 2, 2012

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - JTH Holding, Inc. (OTCBB:LTAXA), the parent company of Liberty Tax Service, announced that the company has obtained approval to list its shares of Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. Trading on the NASDAQ Global Market is expected to begin on Monday, July 2, 2012, and the Company's NASDAQ trading symbol will be "TAX."

As part of the NASDAQ approval process, the Company completed its application to make its shares of Class A Common Stock "DTC eligible," and also received approval of the Depository Trust Company to treat the Class A Common Stock as DTC eligible as of June 27, 2012.

The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation DTCC, and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded company stocks and other securities. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors.

The Company's Class A Common Stock began to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on June 14, 2012, and the Company's application to list its shares on NASDAQ had been pending. "The purpose of becoming a public company was to give our stockholders, especially those who have been investors in our Company for many years, an opportunity to obtain liquidity in the public markets," noted John Hewitt, the Company's Founder and CEO. "These two developments should allow our shares to be traded through all professional accounts, giving greater access to liquidity and an expansion of the types of investors who can now consider our shares for investment."
