DENVER--ACT Teleconferencing, Inc. (OTCBB:ACTT), an independent worldwide provider of audio, video and web-based conferencing products and services, announced today that it is further extending the expiration date for its tender offer for the purchase of all shares of its common stock held by shareholders that owned of record or beneficially 99 or fewer shares as of the close of business on June 6, 2007 and who continue to hold such shares through the expiration date of the offer. The offer as extended will now expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on August 10, 2007, unless further extended or earlier terminated. As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on August 2, 2007, the date and time previously established for the offer to expire, approximately 54 holders had tendered their shares, representing approximately 3,832 shares tendered in total. Eligible shareholders who would like to accept the $5.00 per share offer must tender all shares of common stock that they own before the expiration date as so extended.

If after completion of the offer to purchase there are fewer than 300 shareholders of record, as calculated under the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company intends to terminate the registration of its common stock under the Exchange Act so that the Company may become eligible to suspend its duty to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. If successful, the Company would no longer be required to file periodic and current reports with the SEC or be subject to the SEC's proxy rules.
