(McLean, VA) December 19, 2008—iCore Networks is pleased to announce that Stephen
Canton, CEO and Chairman of the Board, has been selected by SmartCEO magazine as one of
the Smart100 CEO’s in the Greater Washington Region. This award comes on the heels of iCore
being named as one of the Top 25 Best Small Technology Firms in the Washington DC area by
the Washington Business Journal and serves as a testament to the companies growing influence
and leadership in the region.
According to SmartCEO, “the Smart100 is an exclusive group of 100 CEO’s assembled by an
independent selection committee. A Smart100 CEO is selected because his company has

The Smart100 group in aggregate employs more that 100,000 people, has revenues in excess of
$8 billion, has won almost 1,000 business awards and donates significant time, energy and
money to local charities.”
Among Mr. Canton’s achievements that qualified him for the Smart100 are an unprecedented two
term run as Chairman of the Advisory Board to the Export-Import Bank of the United States as
well as an active philanthropic portfolio. His most recent achievement, however, has been leading
iCore to becoming one of the fastest growing hosted VoIP providers in the country.
In response to Mr. Canton’s award, Michael Bertamini, Senior Vice President of Sales, states,
“iCore is a company that prizes values like performance, hard work, and dedication. Our desire to
‘get the job done’ permeates the organization at all levels and is a direct reflection of the
leadership that we thrive under. We are very pleased to see our CEO be recognized because we
feel that the award serves as recognition for our efforts as a company as well.”
This award marks an important milestone for the company and its leadership as iCore continues
its aggressive expansion and looks towards 2009. Mr. Canton, when asked about his
achievement states, “I feel honored to receive such a distinction. My employees, are very kind to
remind me, however, that there are 99 reasons to keep improving this year.”
