RENN Fund, Inc. Acknowledges Receipt of Non-Binding Proposal from Etude Capital

DALLAS, TX – June 28, 2016 -- RENN Fund, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RCG) (the “Fund”) today acknowledged receipt of two letters relating to non-binding proposals from Etude Capital, LLC (“Etude”). The first proposal, as outlined in Etude’s June 13, 2016 press release, relates to certain changes in the Board of Directors, investment advisor and distribution of specified assets to shareholders, while the second proposal relates to an acquisition of at least 25% of the Fund’s outstanding stock by Etude.

The Board of Directors of the Fund has requested additional and clarifying information about the proposals and, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, will carefully review and consider any legitimate and complete proposal presented. The Board has determined at this time, however, to continue with the agenda planned for the Fund’s annual meeting at which shareholders will consider a proposal to approve an orderly liquidation and dissolution of the Fund as outlined in the Fund’s proxy statement distributed in connection with the meeting. In making this determination, the Board took into account that Etude had not provided sufficient details regarding the proposals (including structure of the proposals, Etude’s ability to finance the proposals, or the benefits to be realized by the Fund’s shareholders) for the Board to conclude that the proposals are in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders at this time; that Etude has presented other proposals in the past that similarly lacked sufficient detail for the Board to conclude that they were in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders; that the proposals were conditioned on continued due diligence and other approvals by Etude; that the price offered was inadequate; and that if a legitimate proposal that the Board determines to be in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders is received after a liquidation is approved by shareholders and before the Fund is liquidated and dissolved, the Board can abandon the plan of liquidation with the approval of shareholders.
