(NASDAQ:CITI) stated today that its Board of Directors and a Special Committee of the Board have approved the execution of a definitive agreement to merge with a group of its shareholders, including members of management, at $0.40 per share in cash for all of the shares not owned by the buying group. There are approximately 3,000,000 shares of Canterbury stock on a fully diluted basis. The buying group had previously informed the Company that it owns or has the right to acquire well in excess of fifty percent (50%) of Canterbury's common stock and that it will be voting these shares in favor of the merger to go private at $0.40 per share in cash at the time of the shareholders' vote. The transaction is subject to numerous conditions, including the satisfaction of requirements of corporate law and federal securities laws. Canterbury has filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to this event. This filing may be accessed in its entirety on the internet at www.sec.gov or by contacting the Company. Canterbury intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement and other relevant materials in connection with the merger. The proxy statement will be mailed to the shareholders of Canterbury. Investors and security holders of Canterbury are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any voting decision with respect to the merger because these filings will contain important information about Canterbury, the buying group and the merger.
