As discussed in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, on December 16, 2011, DRI Corporation (the “Company”) notified The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) of the Company’s determination to file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to effect the voluntary delisting of its common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market® as the Company intends to move to the OTCQB™ Marketplace.  

Despite NASDAQ’s recent grant on December 8, 2011, of a second 180-day grace period in which to achieve compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the Company’s management and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors on December 14, 2011, determined that, in an effort to reduce expenses, it is in the best interest of the Company to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market®.  The Company plans to file the Form 25 with the SEC on or about December 27, 2011.  The Company intends to continue to file reports pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  

The Company is making arrangements for the common stock to be quoted on the OTCQB™ Marketplace. The OTCQB™ Marketplace is a market tier for over-the-counter-traded companies that are registered and reporting with the SEC.  

The Company believes that the transition to the OTCQB™ Marketplace will save expenses and should allow for a continued orderly trading market for the common stock as the Company continues to pursue strategic alternatives.
