San Jose, California – July 23, 2013 – MIT Capital Inc. and VictoryOne Inc.(together "MITC")'s tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Meade Instruments Corp. (“Meade”) for $3.65 per share in cash expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City Time, at the end of day on Friday, July 19, 2013.

 

The depositary for the tender offer, VStock Transfer, LLC, informed MITC that at the expiration approximately 15,760 shares of common stock of Meade had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer

 

Because the tendered shares, together with the shares then owned by MITC, did not represent at least a majority of the total number of shares of Meade outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, the minimum tender condition to the tender offer was not met and MITC did not accept any of the shares tendered pursuant to the tender offer. All tendered shares are being promptly returned to the tendering shareholders.
