NetNation Gives Notice of Reverse Stock Split to NASDAQ

Vancouver, BC  June 3, 2003 - NetNation Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNCI) announced today that it has given the NASDAQ Stock Market notice that it intends to conduct a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. On June 2, 2003, NetNation's board of directors recommended and approved a proposed amendment to NetNation's charter, subject to approval by stockholders, to effect a reverse stock split of NetNation's outstanding shares of common stock. If, on or before July 3, 2003, the closing price of NetNation's common stock has not met or exceeded $1.00 for at least ten (10) consecutive trading days, NetNation will be subject to de-listing from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. NetNation believes that the reverse stock split will have the effect of increasing the per share trading price of NetNation's common stock, which could result in a share price high enough to satisfy the NASDAQ minimum bid price listing requirement.

Proxy statements regarding the proposed action were mailed to stockholders on or about May 23, 2003. The proposal will be voted on at NetNation's 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on June 12, 2003 in Vancouver, British Columbia. If approved by stockholders, the proposal would be effective upon filing the amended charter with the Delaware Secretary of State, as soon as practicable following the meeting. Subject to shareholder approval and the filing of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State, the effective date of the reverse stock split will be Friday, June 13, 2003 and post-consolidation trading will commence on Monday, June 16, 2003. Until effectiveness, the number of outstanding shares of common stock of NetNation will remain unaffected by the board of director's action.
