(AMEX: WOC) Saddle Brook, NJ, March 18, 2009 -- Full Value Partners L.P. announced today that the three leading independent proxy advisory firms, Proxy Governance,Inc., Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RiskMetrics Group, Inc., and Glass Lewis and Co, have each recommended that shareholders of Wilshire Enterprises vote on Full Values green proxy card at the annual meeting for on March 24, 2009. Commenting on the recommendations, Phillip Goldstein, a principal of Full Value Partners said, We are pleased that all three of the leading independent proxy advisory services have seen the need for change at Wilshire Enterprises. If we prevail at the annual meeting, we intend to seek a court order to permit us to conduct a cash tender offer at $2 per share which is about 65% above Wilshires recent market price. Separately, Full Value announced that its proxy tabulating agent included a Quick Vote option on its voting website only for registered shareholders that erroneously stated that if a shareholder checked the box, the shareholders proxy would be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the trustees. That has now been corrected to state that the recommendations are those of Full Value Partners L.P., the soliciting stockholder. Registered shareholders who are satisfied with their previous instructions need not do anything. However, those registered shareholders who erroneously checked the Quick Vote box can change their instructions by going to www.2voteproxy.com and entering their control number.
