LAS VEGAS, May 27, 2014 -- LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ:LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, a geo-location based mobile marketing platform that enables restaurants to publish “real-time” and “instant offers” to nearby consumers, today announces that it has been added to the prestigious Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) MicroCap Index, effective May 30, 2014.

Much like the Dow Jones or S&P 500, the MSCI MicroCap Index measures the performance of approximately 5,000 microcap securities across all developed countries, without regard to sector.   The MSCI Microcap Index, like all of MSCI’s indices are used as the base for exchange traded funds, and to what actively managed mutual funds often compare themselves.  For microcap investors, this means being part of a comparative index by which other microcap stocks are tracked and compared.  

As a result, those companies newly chosen to be on the MSCI MicroCap Index have been shown to increase their visibility in the market, and generally demonstrate an increase in liquidity based on the fact that its fundamentals have been noticed by MSCI and deemed worthy of inclusion on the index.

“LiveDeal has worked very hard to demonstrate shareholder value and it is gratifying to be included on this prestigious index,” said Jon Isaac, CEO of LiveDeal, Inc.  “We look forward to the additional visibility that inclusion in the index brings, and are encouraged by the potential increase in liquidity and broadening of shareholder base that has often occurred with many companies upon inclusion in MSCI’s various indices.”
