Paragon Technologies Succeeds in Postponing AeroCentury’s Annual Meeting – Looks Forward to a Constructive Dialogue Towards Appointing Paragon’s Director Nominees

ATLANTA, GA – June 24, 2020 – Paragon Technologies, Inc., (OTC PINK:PGNT) one of the largest shareholders of AeroCentury Corp., is pleased to report that AeroCentury Corp. (NYSE American:ACY) has announced it will postpone its 2020 annual meeting originally scheduled for June 9, 2020 to the new date of September 15, 2020.

“This is an important first win for shareholders of not only AeroCentury but other companies who may find themselves unable to have their voice heard at annual meetings,” noted Sham Gad, Chairman and CEO of Paragon.

Mr. Gad continues, “Now that we have given shareholders appropriate time, we are looking forward to beginning prompt and timely discussions with AeroCentury in appointing our two nominees to the Board. Our objective from day one, which has been communicated to AeroCentury, remains unchanged – to provide added perspective and lend a constructive and helping hand. We were not surprised by the Company’s first quarter operating performance - revealing the rapid decline in the business – and the Company’s going concern disclosure about its future survival, but our focus is on the future and not the past.”

AeroCentury has indicated to Paragon its interest in discussing our inclusion to the Board. Paragon looks forward to engaging in a productive and good faith discussion in order to move things quickly.

“Paragon has always put the needs of stakeholders first and foremost in its investment activities. We are doing so again in working directly with the Board of AeroCentury to discuss our respective nominees as we do not wish to see shareholders bear the distraction and expense of an unnecessary contest,” noted Mr. Gad.

“We recognize that the current Board has spent the last year trying to restructure the Company and we hope that they now recognize the value of our inclusion to the Board,” continued Mr. Gad. “Despite the seemingly insurmountable issues that currently exist at the Company, we believe we have viable options worth exploring that need be investigated now,” states Mr. Gad. “Our two nominees, of which I am one, are more than qualified and experienced to help effectuate a viable path forward.”

If you are a shareholder of AeroCentury, we would like to hear from you.  Please contact Sham Gad, the Chairman and President of Paragon, at info@pgntgroup.com so that we can provide you with additional information regarding our efforts to facilitate shareholder input and effectuate positive change at AeroCentury.
