Tix Corp. is unaware of any new developments that could account for the
recent sharp decline in price of its common shares


Co announced that it is unaware of any new developments concerning its
business operations that could account for the recent sharp decline to
the current market price of the Company`s common shares. As previously
disclosed in the earnings release for the third fiscal quarter of 2009,
co expects continued revenue growth and improved profitability for the
Q4. "The fundamentals of our business remain unchanged. We continue to
believe that we have a strong fourth quarter ahead of us in light of the
strong line up of classical and new productions, most notably among them
the recently launched 101 Dalmatians - The Musical. We also anticipate
synergies from our integrated business model. "Our financial position
remains strong with cash balances and no debt."

CENT, CHRD, DELL, DBRN, FL, GPS, HIBB, INTU, MTSC, SKIL, VRGY, WTSLA,

Alcoa to idle smelting operations in Italy while appealing EC ruling on
energy tariff


Co announces it will temporarily idle production at its two aluminum
smelters in Fusina and Portovesme, Italy. The curtailment is a result of
uncertainty in obtaining future power supply for the smelters at
competitive rates and the financial impact of today`s European
Commission (EC) decision that Italy`s extension of the existing
electricity tariff after 2005 did not comply with European Union (EU)
state aid rules and that a portion of the benefit received by Alcoa must
be refunded. Alcoa is appealing the decision. The curtailments in Italy
will bring Alcoa`s total global smelting system curtailments to ~24%. Co
will continue to take steps to optimize its global smelting system as
market conditions warrant. The co expects to take Q4 2009 charge of
$300-500 mln, pre-tax, including temporary curtailment and recovery
actions. Most, if not all, of the charge is not expected to impact
fourth quarter cash flow.
