("Dinoking").

"We are pleased that ISS supports the Dinoking transaction that we believe provides significant value to PRXI's shareholders," said Mike Little, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of PRXI. "The transaction strengthens PRXI as the global exhibition provider, leverages Dinoking's existing infrastructure and relationships to expand presence in Asia and other markets, and provides attractive financing solutions to PRXI."

PRXI's Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals. Every share counts and every vote is essential.  Please vote today.
