Spire Celebrates 25 Years with The NASDAQ Stock Market

BEDFORD, MA — April 17, 2009 — Spire Corporation (NASDAQ: SPIR), a global solar company, today announced that it is celebrating 25 years of being publically traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ). NASDAQ congratulated Spire on this achievement.

After filing its Form 10-K on March 31, 2009, Spire received a letter from NASDAQ stating that the Company has achieved compliance with listing requirements under both Standard I and the Total Assets/Total Revenue requirement of Standard II of the NASDAQ Global Market, contained in Marketplace Rule 4450(a) and 4450(b).

William Collins of NASDAQ OMX said, “It is my pleasure to present Spire Corporation with this special recognition commemorating its 25th trading anniversary on The NASDAQ Stock Market. We value this partnership and are honored that [Spire Corporation] made NASDAQ [its] market of choice. Congratulations…we look forward to celebrating many more years together.”

“We are happy to have reached this 25 year milestone,” said Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation. “Being a small publically traded on NASDAQ is not easy. That’s 100 quarters of SEC reporting. It testifies to how tough we are and our staying power. In fact, in October of this year, Spire will celebrate its 40th anniversary.”
