TheDirectory.com Secures Lock-Up From Investors

TAMPA, FL--(Marketwire - Aug 3, 2011) - TheDirectory.com, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EYSM), an emerging leader in the Local Business Search Market, today announced that it has secured a short term "Lock-Up" agreement from certain investors.

TheDirectory.com Founder and CEO Scott Gallagher stated, "In addition to the progress we've made by reducing our debt from around $4.1 million at the end of Q2 to under $2 million today, we've now secured a 30 day freeze on any stock conversions from most of our active investors. We're very pleased with the outcome of our debt restructuring that allows us to remove over $700,000 in non-cash derivative valuations from our books and convert nearly $1 million into preferred shares that convert into 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares with no conversion for the next 12 months. Additionally, as part of the restructuring, we'll be canceling over 54 million restricted common shares later this week."

TheDirectory.com management plans to provide shareholders with an update relating to its pending acquisition later this week.
