Winsky Title: President Date: February 5, 2001 4 EX-99.1 2 0002.txt PRESS RELEASE EXHIBIT 1 VOICE POWERED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND FRANKLIN ELECTRONIC PUBLISHERS, INC. MERGER DISCUSSIONS TERMINATED Burlington, New Jersey - February 5, 2001 - The Board of Directors of Franklin Electronic Publishers, Inc. (NYSE-FEP) determined that it would not proceed at the present time with the previously announced merger of its 82% owned subsidiary, Voice Powered Technology International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:VPTI). Barry Lipsky, Chief Executive Officer of Franklin Electronic Publishers, Inc., stated that "The benefits of moving Voice Powered Technology International, Inc. from an 82% subsidiary to a wholly-owned subsidiary do not justify at the current time the approximately $600,000 charge to earnings that would have resulted from that transaction." -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
