FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CreditRiskMonitor Increases Cash Dividends by 30%

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY—October 26, 2016—CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX: CRMZ) announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular dividend of $0.05 per outstanding share of its common stock. The dividend will be payable on December 5, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2016.

Jerry Flum, CEO said, “In past years, we have consistently paid a dividend, but called it a ‘special dividend’. I’m pleased to announce that the Board of Directors now believes our financial strength enables us to pay this as a regular dividend. Plus, by paying 5 cents per share again after last year’s 1.3 to 1 stock split, this year’s dividend represents a 30% increase in the amount of dividends being paid.”
