Virgin Mobile USA Announces Return to Compliance With the New York Stock Exchange

Virgin Mobile USA, Inc. (NYSE: VM) announced it has received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) dated September 11, 2009 notifying the Company that it is back in compliance with the NYSE's quantitative continued listing standards.

The letter went on to state that the decision came as a result of Virgin Mobile USA's consistent positive performance with respect to the original business plan submission, the previous cure of its share price non-compliance on March 31, 2009, and the achievement of compliance with the NYSE's minimum $100 million market capitalization requirement over the past two quarterly review periods, with the company exceeding the requirement beginning in March 2009.
