Corporate Opportunities Funds Agree with Rejection of Wireless Age Communications Unsolicited Proposal for RELM Wireless

 

New York, NY, July 26, 2004

 

The Corporate Opportunities Funds, which beneficially own approximately 25% of the common stock of RELM Wireless Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: RELM), today announced that the Funds have no interest in the stock-for-stock merger proposal of Wireless Age Communications received by RELM on July 16, 2004. James C. Gale, chief investment officers for the Corporate Opportunities Funds, stated: “We do not believe that the proposal is the best interests of RELM or its shareholders, of which the Funds are one of the largest. The Funds believe that the interests of RELM and its shareholders and the future of RELM will be best served by RELM remaining independent and pursuing the strategy it currently has in place for enhancing its future growth and profitability.”

 

The Corporate Opportunities Funds are private equity funds associated with Sanders Morris Harris Inc. that focus on selected companies in health care, telecommunications and consumer products.
