Announces Expansion of Executive Management Team

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - (Marketwired - Oct 10, 2013) - JTH Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: TAX), parent company of Liberty Tax Service, announced today that it will report its earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 before the market opens on Wednesday, October 16, 2013. At 8:30 a.m. ET on the same day, the Company will host a conference call to discuss its earnings, the impact of the previously announced restatement and the expansion of its executive management team. The information necessary to access the call is included at the end of this press release.

The Company has filed a plan of listing compliance with NASDAQ informing NASDAQ that it will be filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 no later than Friday, October 18, 2013, thus coming back into compliance with NASDAQ's listing rules.

The Company is also announcing the expansion of its executive management team through a restructuring of the responsibilities of its current Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) roles that will result in additional executive-level positions. Mark Baumgartner, the current CFO, presently manages both traditional CFO functions and the Company's financial products business. The Company is creating a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role for its JTH Financial subsidiary, and Mr. Baumgartner is assuming that position while remaining as CFO until his successor is identified. Financial product revenue increased 83.8% from $16.5 million in fiscal 2011 to $30.3 million in fiscal 2013 under Mr. Baumgartner's part-time leadership, and this change reflects the importance of that aspect of our business. The Company has begun a search for a new CFO.

To restructure the responsibilities of the COO role, the Company began a nationwide search to hire a Vice President of Sales and Marketing during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and is now in the final stages of that hiring process. The Company is also initiating a search to fill the other COO responsibilities because Rufe Vanderpool, who served as the Company's COO, resigned from the Company earlier this week.

"The organizational changes the Company is announcing today reflect the need for a larger executive management team as Liberty Tax Service continues to grow. Mark's contributions for the last ten years as CFO played a large part in getting us to where we are today, and I look forward to him continuing his work with JTH Financial," said John Hewitt, CEO. "The creation of the Sales and Marketing role broadens our executive team and will add depth to an already experienced team. The new structure sets us up to be successful in accomplishing our goal of being the number one tax preparation company in 2020."
