<p>NOTE: Beginning in the first quarter of 2012, Tucows has reclassified its revenue streams into three distinct service offerings: Wholesale, Retail and Portfolio<sup>1</sup>. The realignment is intended to better reflect the manner in which these revenue streams are generated and assessed by management.</p>
<p>&#8220;The first quarter of 2012 was a solid Tucows quarter &#8211; growth across all areas of our business, strong cash generation from operations, consistency and reliability,&#8221; said Elliot Noss, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tucows Inc. &#8220;We generated growth in revenue and gross margin far in excess of the growth in operating expenses, demonstrating the leverage in our business. We think that consistent growth and continued leverage will serve us well throughout 2012.&#8221;</p>
<p>Net revenue for the first quarter of 2012 increased 22% to a record $27.5 million from $22.6 million for the first quarter of 2011 and was driven by growth in each of the Company&#8217;s three service offerings.</p>
<p>Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with net income for the first quarter of 2011 of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per share. Net income for the first quarter of 2012 benefitted from other income of $0.5 million resulting from the sale of certain intangible assets with no book value.</p>
<p>Deferred revenue at the end of the first quarter of 2012 was $73.0 million, an increase of 12% from $64.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011 and $69.2 from the end of the fourth quarter of 2011.</p>
<p>Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter of 2012 were $6.4 million compared with $4.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011 and relatively unchanged from the end of the fourth quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $2.1 million, as well as $0.5 million in cash proceeds from the aforementioned sale of intangible assets. In addition, the Company utilized $4.0 million from its credit facility to partially fund the $5.9 million cost of the share repurchases under the modified Dutch auction tender completed in January of this year. The Company also used $0.5 million for principal repayments under its credit facility and invested $0.2 million in equipment purchases.</p>
<p><sup>1</sup>Service Offerings: Wholesale, primarily branded as OpenSRS, is composed of revenue generated by the OpenSRS Domain Service and Other Value-Added Services, including hosted email, SSL and other trust certificates, bulk sale of domain names and advertising from the OpenSRS Domain Expiry Stream, web publishing tools, mobile phone services, third-party marketing funds, and billing software for ISPs. Retail is primarily composed of services to individuals and small businesses, including Hover, which generates revenue from the sale of domain name registration and email, and Ting, which generates revenue from mobile phone services. Portfolio includes revenue generated by the resale of names from the domain name portfolio and advertising revenue from the Company&#8217;s domain name portfolio and two large advertising-supported websites.</p>
<p><strong>Conference Call</strong></p>
<p>Tucows management will host a conference call today, Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (ET) to discuss the Company&#8217;s first quarter 2012 results. Participants can access the conference call via the Internet at www.tucowsinc.com/investors.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Launches Promotion to Buy Consumers Out of Mobile Phone Contracts</em></p>
<p>TORONTO, May 1, 2012 &#8211; Ting, a new mobile phone service provided by Tucows (NYSE AMEX:TCX), today announced the launch of Dump Your Contract Month, a month-long promotion that encourages consumers to break free from their current cell phone contracts.</p>
<p>Every day throughout the month of May, one sweepstakes winner per day will receive compensation for the early termination fees tied to their current cell phone contract (up to $300 per prize). There&#8217;s a limit of one entry per person, per day, but everyone can enter once each day for a chance to win. All U.S. residents aged 18+ that are currently in a mobile phone service contract can enter the sweepstakes. Just complete and submit the online entry form at ting.com/dyc. </p>
<p>&#8220;Every day, we hear people lament they are &#8216;stuck&#8217; in a contract with a mobile provider that they would prefer to leave.&#8221; said Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows. &#8220;In fact, for years, Americans have unquestioningly accepted financing on phones, long-term contracts, overage penalties and other conditions that are not truly in their best interest. We want to expose these practices and introduce a better approach.&#8221; </p>
<p><a href="http://ting.com">Ting</a> has no contracts, no overage penalties and no hidden fees. Minutes, messages and megabytes are each billed separately and customers only pay for what they use. Businesses and families can have unlimited devices on one account and can pool together usage for greater savings. Ting offers a clear, usable website and smart, accessible people that are empowered to solve problems. Ting&#8217;s wireless network services are provided on the Nationwide Sprint Network. </p>
<p>&#8220;Dump Your Contract Month is a fun way to give just a few folks that taste of freedom,&#8221; said Noss, &#8220;and maybe get thousands to rethink their current relationship with their mobile phone provider.&#8221; </p>
<p><strong>About the Sweepstakes</strong></p>
<p>NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Runs 5/1/12 to 6/1/12 with 31 daily drawings. Total maximum ARV of all prizes: $9,300. Open to U.S. residents, age 18+, who are in a mobile phone service contract. Void where prohibited. To enter and for details, see Official Rules at <a href="http://ting.com/dyc/rules">http://ting.com/dyc/rules</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TORONTO, March 16, 2012 &#8211; Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX:TCX) (TSX: TC) today announced that it has reinstated its previously announced stock buyback program to repurchase up to US $10 million of Tucows common stock. The program, which initially commenced on November 15, 2011 and will end on November 14, 2012, was temporarily suspended when the company undertook its most recent Dutch Auction Tender, which was completed on January 20, 2012. The buyback program allows Tucows to repurchase its shares of common stock either through the facilities of the TSX or the NYSE AMEX Stock Exchange. As of November 9, 2011 there were 53,477,524 common shares outstanding, and as of January 26, 2012, the date the final results of the Dutch Auction Tender offer were announced, there were 46,047,111 common shares outstanding. All shares purchased by Tucows under this buyback program will be cancelled.<br />
<span id="more-2079"></span><br />
Under the buyback program Tucows may repurchase up to 3,840,000 shares of its common stock, which amount represents approximately 10% of the public float of Tucows as of the time the buyback program was initially commenced. For purposes of any repurchases made on the TSX, Tucows may only purchase up to a maximum of 1,000 shares in any daily trading session, which number represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX over the six month period ending October 31, 2011, unless the block purchase exception is relied upon.</p>
<p>Prior to the suspension of the buyback program, Tucows had repurchased 23,765 shares.</p>
<p>The timing and exact number of common shares purchased will be at Tucows&#8217; discretion and will depend on available cash and market conditions. Tucows may suspend or discontinue the repurchases at any time, including in the event Tucows would be deemed to be making an acquisition of its own shares under Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subject to applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules, all purchases will occur through the open market and may be in large block purchases.

<p>
&#8220;Our strong performance in the fourth quarter, highlighted by 19% year-over-year revenue growth to a record $26.4 million</span> &#8211; our seventh consecutive quarter of record revenue &#8211; and solid cash flow from operations, concluded a year that was indicative of the consistency and reliability of our business, as well as our ability to efficiently deliver growth,&#8221; said Elliot Noss</span>, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tucows Inc.  &#8220;As a result, we also delivered our best year ever in terms of revenue at just over $97 million</span>.  Looking ahead, this efficiency, combined with what we believe is the best distribution channel in the Internet economy, firmly positions us to continue to consistently generate cash flow, while introducing new services with minimal capital investment or impact on operating expenses. Ting, our recently launched US mobile phone service, is a testament to our capabilities in this regard.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 19% to a record $26.4 million</span> from $22.1 million</span> for the fourth quarter of 2010 and was driven by growth in each of the Company&#8217;s business groups.
</p>
<p>
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $6.1 million</span>, or $0.11 per share, compared with net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 of $1.2 million</span>, or $0.02</span> per share. Net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2011 includes a tax benefit of $0.06</span> per share related to the release of deferred tax asset valuation allowances during that quarter.
</p>
<p>
Deferred revenue at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011 was $69.2 million</span>, an increase of 11% from $62.6 million</span> at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010 and relatively unchanged from the end of the third quarter of 2011.
</p>
<p>
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011 were $6.4 million</span> compared with $4.2 million</span> at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010 and $4.7 million</span> at the end of the third quarter of 2011.  The increase from the end of third quarter of 2011 is primarily the result of cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of 2011 of $2.7 million</span>, which was partially offset by the use of $0.7 million</span><br />
 for repayment of the Company&#8217;s credit facility and $0.2 million</span> for investment in equipment.
</p>
<p>
As previously announced, subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter the Company completed the repurchase of 7.6 million of its shares at a purchase price of $0.77</span> per share for a total of $5.8 million</span> under its modified &#8220;Dutch auction&#8221; tender announced on December 15, 2011.  Since initiating its first share buyback program in February 2007</span>, the Company has repurchased a total of 30.8 million shares through its buyback programs, representing 40.5% of the Company&#8217;s total shares outstanding at the end of January 2007</span>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ting Promises &#8220;Mobile That Makes Sense&#8221;</p>
<p>TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2012 &#8211; Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC), a global Internet services company dedicated to making simple useful services that unlock the power of the Internet, today announced the launch of Ting, a mobile phone service dedicated to bringing clarity and control to US mobile phone customers.</p>
<p>Small businesses and families in the US are overpaying for mobile service and underserved by their mobile service providers. With Ting, Tucows seeks to offer a fresh alternative by emphasizing clarity, usability, a sincere commitment to customer support and significant monthly savings.<br />
<span id="more-2057"></span><br />
&#8220;What people are forced to put up with from mobile service providers just doesn&#8217;t make sense. It&#8217;s too complicated, too opaque, too adversarial, too expensive and frankly too inhuman,&#8221; said Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows. &#8220;We&#8217;re changing that. Ting is a mobile service that makes sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ting has a very different approach to pricing than the major providers. Minutes, messages and megabytes are each billed separately. If customers use less of any than they anticipated, they are credited at the end of the month. If they use more, they are simply billed the appropriate additional amount, without onerous penalties or premiums. Businesses and families can pool an unlimited number of phones and data devices on one Ting account, offering even greater savings over other providers&#8217; more limited sharing options.</p>
<p>People considering Ting are encouraged to instantly calculate how much they&#8217;ll save with Ting by entering past bills from their current provider into the <a href="http://ting.com/calculator">Ting Phone Savings Calculator on the Ting site</a>.</p>
<p>The site offers customers clear, visual snapshots of their usage throughout the month and a great deal of administrative control over usage and device features.</p>
<p>The customer support team boasts a &#8220;no hold policy&#8221; from 8am-8pm ET Monday through Friday and &#8220;geek support&#8221; from smart, passionate people that are empowered to solve problems.</p>
<p>Ting is now available to US businesses and families at <a href="http://ting.com">Ting.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TORONTO – January 26, 2012 – Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX:TCX), (TSX:TC), a global provider of domain names, email and other Internet services, announced today the final results of its modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 20, 2012.  Tucows will purchase 7,570,178 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.77 per share, for a total cost of $5,829,037, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer.  Payment for shares accepted for purchase will be funded from a combination of available cash and two demand loan revolving facilities Tucows currently has with the Bank of Montreal.<br />
<span id="more-2054"></span><br />
The 7,570,178 shares to be purchased are comprised of the 6,500,000 shares Tucows offered to purchase and 1,070,178 shares to be purchased pursuant to Tucows’ right to purchase up to an additional 2% of the shares outstanding immediately prior to the commencement of the tender offer. The 7,570,178 shares accepted for purchase in the tender offer represent approximately 14.1% of Tucows’ currently issued and outstanding Common Stock.</p>
<p>Based on the final count by the depositary for the tender offer, 14,421,373 shares were properly tendered at prices at or below the purchase price, making the tender offer oversubscribed by 6,851,195 shares, or approximately 47.5%. Due to over-subscription, the final proration factor for shares tendered at or below $0.77 per share will be approximately 52.5% (other than “odd lot” holders whose shares were purchased on a priority basis). For this purpose, shares tendered at or below $0.77 per share will include shares tendered by those persons who indicated in their letter of transmittal that they are willing to accept the price determined in the offer. All shares purchased in the tender offer will receive the same price.</p>
<p>Directors, executive officers, and affiliates of Tucows were eligible to participate in the offer.  Lacuna LLC, a company of which Rawleigh Ralls, a director of Tucows, is a founding partner, tendered all of its 7.85 million shares in the offer as part of a rebalancing of its portfolio, 4,120,465 of which will be purchased by Tucows in the offer. In addition, Mr. Ralls tendered an additional 300,000 shares that he holds directly, 157,470 of which will be purchased by Tucows in the offer.<br />
Payment for shares accepted for purchase, and the return of all other shares tendered but not accepted for payment, will be made promptly by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions Inc., the depositary for the tender offer. </p>
<p>As a result of the completion of the tender offer and immediately following payment of the tendered shares, Tucows will have approximately 46,047,111 shares issued and outstanding.</p>
