REDDY ICE’S CONTINUED LISTING PLAN
ACCEPTED BY NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
FEBRUARY 13, 2009 - DALLAS, TEXAS — Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:FRZ) (“Reddy Ice” or the “Company”) today announced receipt of notice that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) accepted the Company’s plan for continued listing.
As a result, the Company’s stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to quarterly reviews by the NYSE’s Listing and Compliance Committee to ensure the Company’s progress toward its plan to restore compliance with continued listing standards. On November 18, 2008, the Company announced that it was below continued listing criteria because its average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and total stockholders’ equity were each less than $75 million.
