CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC. BY: /s/ Kevin J. McAndrew ---------------------------- Kevin J. McAndrew, President Dated: November 1, 2004 EX-99 2 privateexh.txt PRESS RELEASE Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc. 352 Stokes Road Suite 200 Medford, New Jersey 08055 (609) 953-0044 * FAX (609) 953-0062 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CANTERBURY BOARD APPROVES PROPOSAL TO BECOME A PRIVATELY-HELD COMPANY Medford, NJ - November 1, 2004 Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CITI) announced today that a group of its shareholders, including members of management, submitted a proposal of merger to the Company that would result in the Company becoming privately- held. Under the terms of the proposal, which is non-binding, the shareholder group would pay $0.40 per share in cash for each share of the Company's stock not held by members of the group. The shareholder group would then be the only owners of the Company following the consummation of the transaction. Once the Company is privately held, it would no longer be subject to the periodic reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Both the Company's Board of Directors and a Special Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the non-binding proposal. The proposal is subject to numerous conditions, including the satisfaction of requirements of corporate law and federal securities laws. Kevin J. McAndrew, Canterbury's President was quoted as saying, " The costs associated with remaining a small public company have become exorbitant. Public companies, like Canterbury, are subject to increasing financial, disclosure and corporate governance costs in light of the regulatory environment following the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We have estimated that it costs our company well over $200,000 per year to remain a public company, from which we derive very little benefit at a time in our history that we are trying to return to profitability." "The public markets for our common stock have become extremely illiquid, making it very difficult for any of our shareholders to sell any significant number of their shares at all, let alone at a price that they could depend upon receiving. For the past month beginning on October 1, 2004, the closing bid price of our stock has averaged $0.37 per share and our stock has traded as low as $0.25 per share." "Because of these compelling reasons, both our Board of Directors, and a special independent committee designated by the Board to study this proposal believe it to be in the best interests of our shareholders to accept the proposal of $0.40 per share in cash. Ultimately the decision to accept this offer will be decided by Canterbury's shareholders." * * * * * This press release contains forward-looking statements.
