Kid- Good luck with the stock, just be careful as I happen to know a lot about this company and just be warned that almost all of the directors and managers are professional pyramid guys. Mainly Excel and Amway. Not saying you might not make a big run, but this company definitly will have a very ugly ending at some point.

YTB International Announces New Ticker Symbol
Company Issues Update on Common Stock Reclassification and Split

WOOD RIVER, Ill., <chron>July 31</chron> /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- YTB International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: YTBL) ('YTB' or the 'Company'), a provider of Internet- based travel booking services for travel agencies and home-based independent representatives in the <location>United States</location>, today announced that the Company's Class A Common shares will commence trading on <chron>August 1, 2007</chron> under the new ticker symbol 'YTBLA' following the Company's previously announced common stock reclassification. The Company's existing ticker symbol 'YTBL' will no longer be valid.
As previously announced in the Company's 2007 Definitive Proxy Statement, upon transfer, except for certain gifts to trusts or family members, each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into a share of Class A Common Stock. Shareholders will receive two shares of Class B, and one share of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of existing common stock held as of the close of trading on the effective date, <chron>July 31, 2007</chron>.
The new CUSIP numbers for the Class A and Class B shares will be 98425R 200 and 98425R 309 respectively.
If shareholders hold shares through a brokerage account or in street name, then no action needs to be taken on their part, as the new shares will automatically be credited to their brokerage accounts, replacing existing shares. If existing shares are held in record name (i.e., through physical certificates), then shareholders will receive a transmittal letter from the Company's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Shareholders that receive the transmittal letter will be required to fill out any documentation included as instructed and mail it back, along with their existing common stock certificates, to the transfer agent at the address provided. Once the transfer agent receives the requested information, along with existing common stock certificates, the new Class A and Class B Common shares will be issued.
Further information on both the reclassification and split can be found in the Company's 2007 Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on <chron>April 24, 2007</chron>.

YTB International Issues Further Update on Reclassification and Stock Split
WOOD RIVER, Ill., <chron>Aug. 7</chron> /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- YTB International, Inc. (OTC: YTBLA.PK) ('YTB' or the 'Company'), today issued an update to investors regarding its <chron>July 31</chron> stock split and reclassification.
As previously announced in press releases dated <chron>July 31, 2007</chron> and <chron>August 1, 2007</chron> as well as in the Company's 2007 Definitive Proxy Statement, shareholders of record as of <chron>July 31, 2007</chron> will receive two shares of Class B, and one share of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of existing common stock held as of the close of trading on the effective date, <chron>July 31, 2007</chron>. However, while the reclassification and stock split have been recognized by the national quotation services and NASDAQ, the Company has been informed that the new symbol for the Class A Common Stock is not yet available on terminals of market makers. As previously communicated YTB is actively working with market makers to provide to them company specific information that will enable them to complete the necessary NASD forms and to commence quotations in the Class A Common Stock under the new ticker symbol YTBLA.
The Company learned today from its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, that the Depository Trust Company (DTC) has credited the Class B Common Stock shares issuable upon YTB International's reclassification and stock split today to all brokerage firms participating in DTC's book-entry system. The Company has been informed that there may be an additional delay from the time that shares are credited to a brokerage firm by DTC until the shares may be viewed by individual shareholders holding accounts with such brokerage firms. YTB encourages shareholders to contact their brokerage firms to inquire as to whether the shares of Class B Common Stock have been reflected in their individual accounts.
As mentioned in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement and prior press releases, 2 shares of Class B Common Stock will be credited to each record holder of 1 share of the Company's common stock effective as of the close of trading on <chron>July 31, 2007</chron>. Only those persons who were record holders of YTB's common stock as of the close of trading on <chron>July 31, 2007</chron> will receive such shares.
As of <chron>July 31, 2007</chron>, YTB International had 38.9 million shares outstanding. The Company expects that once the approximately 77.8 million shares of Class B Common Stock which were issued to shareholders of record as of <chron>July 31, 2007</chron>, are credited to the accounts of beneficial holders, there will be approximately 116.7 million shares of common stock (Class A and Class B combined) owned beneficially by YTB International's shareholders.
The Company recommends that investors considering an investment in YTB should consult an investment advisor before making any investment decisions.
