Ireland Inc. Provides Technical Program Update

Company to Host Investor Conference Call on Tuesday, April 16, 2013

HENDERSON, Nev.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Ireland Inc. (OTCBB: IRLD) today provided an update to its technical program at the Columbus Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Ireland is continuing the process of transferring its gold and silver extraction process from AuRIC Metallurgical Laboratories facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, to its on-site pilot plant in Nevada. Concentration, leach and extraction tests are scheduled to commence shortly under the supervision of AuRIC. Upon the successful completion of a series of five ton batch leach tests, Ireland intends to begin operating the pilot plant on a continuous basis and then commence its Phase Four Drill Program, with the goal of improving the geological definition of the North Sand Zone.

Ireland also announced that it will host an investor conference call and webcast at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday April 16, 2013 (details provided below). Ireland plans to file its 2012 operating results and its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2013.

Technical Program Update

In the first quarter of 2013, Ireland continued the process of transferring its successful gold and silver extraction process from its test location at AuRIC’s facility in Salt Lake City to Ireland‘s on-site pilot plant in Nevada. The goal of this technology transfer is the continuous operation of the on-site pilot plant.

During the quarter, Ireland‘s technical program focused on upgrading the on-site water supply to improve its compatibility with thiosulphate leaching. Work included comparative analyses of the municipal water supply utilized by AuRIC at its Salt Lake City laboratory and the water provided by the on-site well at the Columbus Project. Based upon information derived from these comparative analyses, Ireland recently completed the installation of a new water conditioning circuit at the Columbus Project in order to supply process water to the leach circuit that is similar in character to the water that was utilized for all of the successful leach tests conducted at AuRIC’s Salt Lake City facilities.

In addition, during the quarter Ireland completed an upgrade to the on-site gravity concentration circuit in an effort to improve efficiency and reduce potential abrasive wear on the equipment. Ireland experienced a six week delay in

SPRINGFIELD, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– USA Mobility, Inc. (NAS: USMO) , a leading provider of wireless messaging,mobile voice and data and unified communications solutions, today announced that it has received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, was not filed on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As previously announced, USA Mobility is currently in the process of restating 2011 results for its software business due to a material weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting relating to software revenue recognition processes. The Company believes there is no material impact to the previously reported interim periods of 2012. USA Mobility expects to complete the restatement process, which has delayed completion of the 2012 annual audit and the filing of the 2012 Form 10-K, as soon as practicable.

The NASDAQ letter dated April 2, 2013 requires the Company to submit a plan within 60 days to regain compliance with NASDAQ‘s filing requirements for continued listing. USA Mobility expects to have filed its 2012 Form 10-K and be in full compliance prior to the due date of the plan.

Envestnet Provides Update on Form 10-K Filing

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Envestnet (NYS: ENV) , a leading provider of unified wealth management technology and services to investment advisors, today reported that it has delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 beyond the April 2, 2013 extended filing due date. As Envestnet indicated in its April 3, 2013 Current Report on Form 8-K, on April 2, 2013 its Audit Committee engaged KPMG LLP to re-audit Envestnet’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of independence concerns with its prior auditor. Envestnet previously had engaged KPMG LLP to audit Envestnet’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and to re-audit Envestnet’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of the same concerns.

As a result of the filing delay, Envestnet received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE“) notifying Envestnet that it was not currently in compliance with the NYSE‘s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria set forth in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Such notices are routinely issued by the NYSE in situations when there are late filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On April 3, 2013, Envestnet informed the NYSE that Envestnet is working diligently to complete the 2012 Form 10-K.

Under NYSE rules, Envestnet has six months from April 2, 2013, subject to ongoing evaluation, to file its Form 10-K. Until Envestnet files its Form 10-K, its common stock will remain listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ENV,” but will be assigned an “LF” indicator to signify late filing status. Envestnet can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards at any time during this six-month period once it files its Form 10-K with the SEC. If Envestnet fails to file its annual report within such six-month period, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow Envestnet’s common stock to trade for up to an additional six months depending on specific circumstances as outlined in the rule. It is expected that Envestnet would need to submit an official request to the NYSE for the NYSE‘s consideration at the appropriate time.

Although Envestnet is working diligently to complete the 2012 Form 10-K and currently expects to complete and file the 2012 Form 10-K within six months of its due date, no assurance can be given that the 2012 Form 10-K will be filed within such period, or that the NYSE would allow Envestnet’s securities to trade for …read more
