VIA NET.WORKS Receives Nasdaq Staff Determination on Continued Listing

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNWI; Euronext) announced that on June 13, 2005 it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that VIA has failed to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) and that therefore the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. VIA noted that it intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. Under Nasdaq rules, the delisting will be deferred until the appeal is resolved.

VIA also noted that it had completed the mailing of the Proxy Statement to its shareholders with respect to its 2005 Annual and Special Meeting. The meeting is scheduled to take place on June 29, 2005 at the Heathrow Hilton Hotel in the United Kingdom, beginning at 6 pm UK time. At the meeting, shareholders will vote on, among other things, the proposal to grant authority to the board of directors of the company to implement a reverse split of its common stock. The company anticipates that the reverse split is likely to be sufficient to enable the company to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid requirement.

VIA further noted that in the Proxy Statement its shareholders have been asked to vote upon a proposed sale of substantially all the assets of the company to Claranet Group Limited.
