NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alloy, Inc. ("Alloy") (NASDAQ: ALOY) today announced that, at a special meeting of its stockholders held earlier today, more than a majority of the company's outstanding shares voted in favor of authorizing the Alloy Board of Directors to amend the company's restated certificate of incorporation to effect, at the Board's discretion, a one for two, one for three or one for four reverse stock split. Subsequent to the special stockholder meeting, the Alloy Board of Directors approved implementing a one for four reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of Alloy's common stock. The Board authorized the company to implement such reverse stock split as soon as practical; the company anticipates that the reverse split will be effective within the next three weeks.

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every four shares of Alloy common stock will be converted and reclassified as one share. Alloy does not intend to issue any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding fractional shares will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the fraction to which such stockholders would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price of the Alloy common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the reverse split effective date.

After giving effect to the reverse split, Alloy will have approximately 11.6 million shares outstanding. The reverse split will affect all shares of Alloy's common stock, including those shares underlying stock options, warrants and convertible debentures outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split effective date.
