EMRISE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
SECOND LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS
WOODBRIDGE, NJ – April 19, 2016 – EMRISE CORPORATION (formerly traded on OTCQB under the symbol EMRI) (EMRISE or the Company), announced today that it has instructed its paying agent, VStock Transfer, LLC (Paying Agent), to begin the process of sending the previously announced second liquidation distribution of $0.36 per share (the Distribution) to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 7, 2015.
The Distribution is being made in connection with the Company’s previously announced voluntary Plan of Dissolution (the Plan) that was approved by its stockholders at a special meeting held on June 25, 2015. When paid, the Distribution will bring the total amount of liquidation distributions paid to stockholders under the Plan, to $1.11 per share.
The Distribution follows the previously announced closing on February 18, 2016, of the Company’s sale of its remaining business unit, CXR Anderson Jacobson S.A.S. (CXR-AJ) based in France (the Transaction). Details of the Distribution were disclosed in a news release disseminated on March 15, 2016, and in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2016.
Stockholders Holding Physical Certificates.
For stockholders who hold physical certificates for their shares of EMRISE common stock, it is expected that a check for the Distribution will be mailed today, April 19, 2016, to the stockholders’ latest mailing address on file with the Company’s Paying Agent. Stockholders should contact the Paying Agent if they do not receive a check or if they need to make any changes to their address or account.
Stockholders Holding in “Street Name.”
For stockholders whose shares of EMRISE common stock are held in “Street Name” at a brokerage firm, it is expected that the aggregate amount of funds required for the Distribution to those stockholders will be sent to DTC (Depository Trust Corporation) today. DTC will then wire transfer to each of the brokerage firms involved the funds necessary for the brokerage firms to deposit the Distribution into their clients’ brokerage accounts where EMRISE shares of common stock are held. Stockholders should contact their brokerage firms if they have any questions regarding the receipt, processing and/or timing of the second liquidation distribution.
FOR A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN AND THE MATTERS RELATING TO IT, STOCKHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ CAREFULLY THE COMPANY’S PROXY STATEMENT DATED MAY 11, 2015, ITS NEWS RELEASE DATED JUNE 30, 2015, ITS FORM 8-K FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON JULY 1, 2015, AND ITS NEWS RELEASE DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2015.
